5. Lin Qingxuan is racing against time.

My grandmother died when I was in primary school. My grandmother loved me the most when she was alive. I can't rule out my sadness. I run around the school playground every day, so tired that I fall to the ground and cry on the lawn.

That sad day lasted for a long time, and my parents didn't know how to comfort me. They know that instead of lying to me that grandma is asleep, they might as well tell me the truth: grandma will never come back.

"What is gone forever?" I asked.

"All the time everything will not come back. Your yesterday has passed, it will always be yesterday, and you will never return to it. Dad used to be as young as you, and now he can't go back to your childhood. One day you will grow up, you will be as old as your grandmother, one day you will spend all your time and you will never come back like your grandmother. " Dad said.

Dad told me a mystery, which made me feel terrible than "an inch of time and an inch of gold are hard to buy", and gave me an unspeakable taste than "time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle".

After that, I went home from school every day and watched the sun sink inch by inch in the yard until the day was really over. Although there will be a new sun tomorrow, there will never be today's sun.

I saw birds flying into the sky. How fast they fly. Tomorrow they will fly the same route, never today. Maybe it's not the old birds that fly this route tomorrow, but the birds.

Time flies, so that my cautious eyes are not only anxious, but also sad. One day when I came home from school, I saw that the sun was going down. I made up my mind to say, "I want to go home faster than the sun." I ran back, stood in the yard panting, and jumped for joy when I saw that the sun was still half exposed. I beat the sun that day. I will often play such games in the future. Sometimes I race against the sun, sometimes I race against the northwest wind, and sometimes I finish my homework in ten days in a summer vacation. Every game is playing time, and I don't know how to describe it.

The next day, I came to Jiang's mother's house to play.

While eating, he looked at the glistening rice and eagerly asked, "Mom Jiang, how did this rice come from?" Jiang's mother likes her curiosity very much, so she smiled and told him, "Rice is made of rice. The rice is wrapped in a hard yellow shell. It has to go through soaking seeds to accelerate germination, raising seedlings in the field, transplanting and weeding, fertilization management, pest control, harvesting and threshing until it is smashed into rice. "

"Ah, it's not easy to eat this bowl of rice!" Zhou Enlai said in surprise. "Yes, I don't know how many farmers will be tired after more than ten passes. This delicious rice was watered by farmers with sweat. " Mother Jiang said with deep feelings. Jiang's mother's inculcation not only deepened his understanding of poetry, but also encouraged him to study hard. In order to learn Chinese characters well, he not only carefully completed the homework assigned by the teacher, but also insisted on practicing 100 Chinese characters every day.
