The girl from Huangshan has become my wife in life and a companion on the road of my stormy life.
When I was still studying, I casually browsed the atlas and saw a place in southern Anhui, called Tunxi, and I thought to myself, this is also a water dock.
Later, I learned that the famous Huangshan Mountain was in that area. Later, in order to expand tourism resources, Tunxi was renamed Huangshan.
I didn't think about it, and I also formed a lifelong relationship with it.
Southern Anhui, a province, ancient name Huizhou Capital, including six counties. The mountains stretch and the folk customs are simple. The isolated mountainous areas and material poverty have caused many people to go out of the mountains and follow the Xin'an River. Go to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou. Run a tea shop and break into Jiangnan.
Generation after generation, Huizhou people from one township to another are scattered on the land of Jiangnan. They have integrated Huizhou's simple folk style and pragmatic style into their lifelong pursuit.
Hu Xueyan was one of the most accomplished merchants in Huizhou. With his clever talent and diligence, he managed the silk industry, and in the struggle of his career, he finally became a giant of the rich side.
She has also become one of the thousands who go out to her hometown to seek a new starting point in life.
Pass through the winding and winding Lin'an Mountains in western Zhejiang, and walk through the swaying pillow river people's homes. She put her heart in the water town of Jiangnan. She wrote her life on the edge of Taihu Lake.
A foreigner in a foreign land, no familiar gaze, no three meals within reach. The road, the struggle under the feet, the road, the extension in the forward.
She uses her unique vision and the inherent business talent of the people in her hometown of Huizhou. Learning the methods of the locals, with a pair of diligent hands, expanded the sky.
Hu Shi, a famous modern scholar, once used the term 'emblem camel' to describe the diligence and simplicity of the people in his hometown.
She, too, is like a camel, watering a rich home with youth and sweat.
Spring has come, the earth has returned, and all things have revived. She got up early in the dark and planted the seeds of spring on the vegetable patch in front of her house. Germination, transplanting, fertilization, reclamation. Amaranth, cucumber, tomatoes, green peppers, peppers, one by one, one plant, everything. Hard work, in exchange for the richness on the table.
Autumn is her favorite time. Because she loves chili peppers. Autumn is the season of harvest. She picked the peppers, dried them, and collected them again.
The altar jars and jars at home are the best helpers for her to show her life skills. Pickles are also her best tricks. Pickles, pickles, dried radishes, garlic, after her preparation, pickled, and then after a period of storage, it has become our delicious food.
Outside of work, idle. She also bought a sewing machine, and she followed suit, little by little, from not being able to meet, from being able to become skilled, and putting pieces of cloth together into fitted clothes. Later, I converted the electric sewing machine, and the large and small sewing repairs at home were solved with it.
When you were young, maybe it was because of the favor at home. I can't even cook a dish. Several times and three times, I taunted. She, too, was not discouraged. Instead, carefully observe, carefully consult with neighbors and acquaintances. Over time, cooking has become a beautiful landscape for her.
Life is not without ups and downs, and poverty is not without joy. On a calm and peaceful day, there are always unexpected visits. As the saying goes, tomorrow and the accident, you don't know which one comes first.
That morning, she rode her bike to the market to buy vegetables. At an intersection, he accidentally staggered with a passing van and was knocked to the ground. He was then sent to the hospital for treatment, and was diagnosed with spinal damage and needed to stay in bed for three months.
The driver who caused the accident, after the fact, said that she was an old problem. I was furious at the moment. After that, I went to the traffic management department and took the accident liability appraisal certificate. Subsequently, the lawsuit was filed in court.
Twists and turns, after months, in the end, we won.
The months of rest and rest became a rare time for her leisure.
Time flies, and the years are like water. In a flash, the best youth of life has passed.
The girl from Huangshan, the green silk gradually faded, and the white hair quietly. Years have worn away a person's brilliance. Years also make a person perfect and mature.
In that period, in that period of youth, the Huangshan girls who walked from the layers of mountains to the water towns of Jiangnan and scattered on the plains of Hangjia Lake had entered the prime of their lives.
One side of the landscape nurtures the other side. They have worked hard to enrich their lives. With wisdom, the homeland is enriched.
The girl from Huangshan, as always, walked in the change of the four seasons and walked in the stormy days of Jiangnan.
