夏日的阳光炙热,正当我和小伙伴们在学校操场上玩耍时,我突然想起了爸爸最近经常提及的话题——妈妈的桃花源。听说那是一个隐藏在深山里的秘密之地,只有满园子的桃子,无论是哪个季节都能挂着一串又一串晶莹剔透的金黄色果实。
我迫不及待地跑回家问爸爸,为什么他总是那么津津乐道于这个地方。 dadsitting(也就是“爸爸共享妈妈的桃花源”)成了我们家的新鲜事物,每次提到它,大家都忍俊不禁。我好奇地问:“dad, why peach blossom source? Why not other fruit?”
Dad smiled and said, "You see, my little buddy. Peach Blossom Spring is not just a place with peaches. It's like a metaphor for a paradise where everything is perfect and peaceful." He paused for a moment before continuing, "And you know what? Your mom has her own version of that paradise."
That night after dinner, we all sat in the living room together. Dad pulled out an old photo album from his trunk and began to flip through it slowly.
"Look at this," he said as he stopped on a page with pictures of your mom when she was younger. She was smiling brightly in front of lush greenery and colorful flowers.
"This is Mom's Peach Blossom Spring?" I asked curiously.
"Yes," dad replied with a chuckle. "Your mom has always been fond of nature and beautiful landscapes. And now that she's retired from work, she spends most of her time tending to our garden."
As we continued to look through the photos together, I realized that my dad had shared his wife's secret garden with me without even realizing it himself! The idea struck me like lightning: What if we could turn our backyard into Mom's Peach Blossom Spring?
The next day after school, I gathered up some tools from the garage along with my friends who were eager for adventure too! We set off to transform our yard into something new!
With sweat dripping down their faces but grins on their cheeks (and mine), they worked tirelessly throughout the afternoon under the sunbeams filtering through leaves above us while sharing stories about how amazing life can be when people come together united by one common dream—creating memories!
After weeks' hard work turned our ordinary lawn into an extraordinary haven filled full blooms - roses red; daffodils bright yellow; lilacs purple & pink; lavender blue & white...it felt magical indeed!
