Before I fell ill and lost my sight and hearing, the house we lived in was very small, with only one large square room and one small room for servants to live in. At that time, according to the custom of southerners, they would build another house next to their own home for urgent needs. After the Civil War, my father also built such a house. After marrying my mother, he moved into this small house. The cottage is covered with grapes, climbing roses, and honeysuckle. From the garden, it looks like a pavilion made of branches. The small balcony is also hidden among the flowers of yellow roses and southern Poria cocos, becoming a world of hummingbirds and bees.
The old house where my grandfather and grandmother lived is just a few steps away from our rose pavilion. Due to being surrounded by dense trees and green vines, our neighbors refer to our home as the 'Green Home'. This is the paradise of my childhood.
Before my home tutor, Miss Sullivan, arrived, I often walked alone, leaning against a square boxwood hedge, slowly into the garden, using my sense of smell to search for the newly blooming violets and lilies, deeply inhaling their fresh fragrance.
Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I come here alone to seek comfort. I always hide my hot face among the cool leaves and grass, calming down my restless heart.
Being in this green garden is truly refreshing. There are tendrils crawling on the ground and drooping jasmine, as well as a very rare flower called butterfly lotus. Because its easily falling petals resemble the wings of a butterfly, it is called a butterfly lotus, which emits a sweet and fragrant scent. But the most beautiful ones are still those rose flowers. In the flower houses of the north, it is rare to see this climbing rose from my southern home. It climbs everywhere, hanging upside down on the balcony in long strings, emitting a fragrance.
