how beautiful summer is! The mountains, rivers, flowers and trees in my hometown are full of vitality. Nan Yangsheng thought of the summer when he was a teenager. Summer is the hottest season of the year, and it is also a very beautiful season. There are all kinds of small flowers blooming in summer, such as rose, bunch red, plantain... They are in different poses and with different expressions, competing for beauty. In fact, the beauty of summer lies in green, and summer green is everywhere. The green river, the green grassy mountains, and the tender green willows are also full of vitality. The branches of the willows are as beautiful and elegant as the long hair of a girl in the breeze. The poplar trees are even more luxuriant, supporting a natural sunshade umbrella in hot summer. When the pomegranates on the tree bloom with smiling faces and the cicadas chirp, summer is here.

From the perspective of Nanyang Sheng, the summer in his hometown is still so beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

On the way home, Nanyangsheng saw simple dwellings, and the fences of some dwellings were covered with various plants. Wildflowers grow beside the winding dirt road, some are purple, some are pink, some are blue, and some are yellow. Colorful wildflowers in various shapes. When a gust of wind blows, it will emit a faint fragrance.

Nan Yangsheng saw the old elm tree with shiny leaves. The old elm tree had luxuriant branches and leaves, supporting a thick green shade.

The dilapidated house next to the old elm tree is Nan Yangsheng's home.

Here, you can see dilapidated old houses everywhere, some of which have long been uninhabited, and those old houses have been dilapidated under the impact of wind and rain due to disrepair for a long time, with roofs caved in and walls collapsed. It seems that no one lives in these old houses, and they are not worth a penny.

The worthless dilapidated houses in the countryside can actually become the dream homes of urban people after renovation. As the country began to build the countryside, many old houses that were left unattended in the countryside began to be demolished and razed to the ground; some were demolished by the owners of the old houses and used as homesteads to build new houses.

The old houses in the countryside can be regarded as the embodiment of the rural culture in the past. It is a pity that they were directly demolished like this. Many people also said that in the future, the houses in the countryside will be all reinforced concrete. People in the city want to live in antique houses in the countryside, while people in the countryside want to live in reinforced concrete houses in the city. Someone put forward such an idea: why not transform the dilapidated old houses in the countryside? When renovating, it is necessary to retain the characteristics of the old house and ensure the modern living needs inside. Isn’t such a house very beautiful? When retaining the antique flavor of the old rural houses, it is necessary to retain its unique traces of time, such as those green bricks covered with moss, and the walls covered with ivy, planting flowers and plants in the yard to add more nature angry.

However, for Nan Yangsheng, these ideas are all illusory dreams. He understands that his parents do not have the financial resources to renovate his home, and he has to realize it by himself if he wants to transform the worthless dilapidated house into a farmhouse that people in the city like.

Nan Yangsheng has just graduated from the Central Plains College of Humanities and has not yet found a job. The most important thing for him now is to see his family. Therefore, he walked around the short, dilapidated house several times, and saw no one inside or outside.

The old house is dirty and messy, and the room layout is extremely small. In the past, the family only had one room, and they ate and slept here.

The old house is very cold, because in the countryside, there are few people and a lot of land, and the vicinity of the house is extremely empty. There used to be a small vegetable garden in front of and to the west of the house, but it was irrigated and nourished by the water from the small river next to the old house, so this vegetable garden is uniquely endowed and grows very well. There is no noise and filth of small towns here.

Although it was daytime, the light in this old house was still surprisingly dark. When he came to the narrow house, he saw only a dilapidated old wooden bed with a smelly and dirty blanket, a broken pillow and one or two books with pages missing. There was also a wooden table with several holes, and on it was a broken bowl with several gaps, two plates covered with residue, and a pair of short and thin chopsticks. Against the wall was a chest of rotting wood. The wooden box in the corner is empty, and a rusty weight is sleeping on the ground. The interior of the old house is really shabby.

Viewed from the outside, the rooms of the old house are built with stones for nearly 1 meter, and the above is an earth wall. The wall is cracked and the gap is cracked. The biggest crack has been blocked with rags and straw, but the cold wind can still get in. . The stone has turned black, and the earth wall has been mottled, as if telling the age.

The tiles on the roof of the old house are one piece to the east and one piece to the west. Some are good and some are bad. When it rains, it rains heavily outside the house and lightly rains inside. There are raindrops all over the house. It can be imagined that when winter comes, the old house is as cold as an ice cellar when the bitter cold wind blows in, making people feel breathless.

The old house was empty. Where is the family? At this time, Nan Yangsheng's cell phone rang, and it was his sister Nan Liwa calling.

"Brother, where are you? Didn't you say you're going home today?" sister Nan Liwa asked.

Nan Yangsheng replied: "I'm in the old house, why can't I see your shadow?"

My younger sister, Nan Liwa, smiled: "What are you doing in the old house? It has been demolished, and I am temporarily staying at Uncle Chai's house. You can walk half a mile east along the river. When you get there, tell people You can find me by looking for an old Chinese doctor."

When Nan Yangsheng heard his sister's voice, all his anxiety disappeared. He looked back at the old house affectionately, and walked along the river in the direction designated by his sister with fresh and bright steps. Spring is gone with the falling flowers, and summer is coming with green leaves bouncing in the warm wind. The wild flowers in the field are like a group of girls in colorful dresses, dancing among the green leaves. The willow trees by the river danced their branches in the wind.

Summer is the season of life. It makes all creatures feel the existence of life and the charm of being alive.After Nan Yangsheng left the dilapidated old house, he entered the mood of reverie again.
