There are two persimmon trees and a walnut tree in my home.

The old man said, "Plant three trees in front of the door, and a family will prosper for three generations." Which three trees are they? All kinds of trees will be planted around the courtyard in rural areas, which looks lush and full of vitality. Each tree has its own unique purpose. No tree is planted at will, and every tree has its purpose. When I was young, I lived in the countryside and moved, but trees were planted in both the new house and the old house. At that time, my grandmother always nagged that "predecessors planted trees, and later generations enjoyed the cool."

It is people's good wishes and yearning for a happy life to plant three trees in front of the door and have a prosperous family for three generations. I live in Weibei Plateau, Shaanxi Province, where there are many ravines and mountains. Although it is on the Loess Plateau, the vegetation is very dense and lush. The trees in the village are lush, the roadside trees on both sides of the road are neat, and wild trees are scattered in the countryside. Everything seems so natural. Seeing this sentence, I remembered what my grandmother often told us when I was a child. Plant trees for ten years and educate people for a hundred years.

Everyone may have heard of elm. At that time, people planted elms, and there was delicious elm money in spring. They picked elm, made it into wheat rice, wrapped it in jiaozi, and made it into various cold dishes. Another purpose is to make a fire. Elm likes complicated things. I think everyone has heard of the word elm pimple, which is what it means. Because elm is hard and has a fast growth cycle, it can be split and burned when it matures. Because of elm bumps, it is very resistant to burning. In the words of rural people, the fire of elm is very strong and hard. But now, most people eat elm money, and few people burn it.

The most obvious purpose of restoring trees is to eat walnuts, and then to dry walnuts and squeeze walnut oil, but the most important purpose is to make boards, doors and windows and furniture with walnut wood. At that time, I heard my grandmother say that walnut is good wood, because walnut grows very little, which is convenient for people to cut. In the past, people used to make doors, windows and furniture from their own walnut trees. When the trees grow to a certain size, they are dried in the sun, and then invited by the carpenters nearby to work and make walnut into the furniture they want. Nowadays, few people use walnut to make furniture and eat walnuts.

Persimmon trees thrive when hung high on the branches, but the real purpose of persimmon trees is not to see. Persimmons produced by persimmon trees have a wide range of uses, and can be used to make persimmons, dried persimmons and vinegar. As far as I can remember, when I was a child, all the vinegar I ate at home was brewed by my mother with persimmons, and the vinegar jar for putting persimmons would flow all day. Now there is a persimmon tree in front of our house, which grows very gratifying every year and bears many fruits, but now it is no longer necessary to make vinegar, so we can either pick it and eat it directly or make it into persimmon. After a winter of drying and frosting, the sugar crystals of persimmon are very obvious and taste very sweet.
