Love of Xinyi River (Part 2)

Love of Xinyi River (Part 2)

■ Zhang Yi

Yi river water, Yi river situation

In midsummer, during the period from the summer to the ambush, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, southwest Lu, several heavy rains in succession, the water level of Suqian Llama Lake rose sharply, and when the water level exceeded the warning line, it was necessary to open the gate to release water downstream. As soon as the gate of the Mountain Gate was mentioned, the downstream counties, townships, and village groups broadcast a notice in place: The Yi River is flowing with water, and the flood is moving! Production in the Yihe River has stopped, traffic has stopped, and people and livestock are forbidden to enter!

The water came from the west, rose gradually, and slowly crossed the bridge; in a day or two the fields were flooded with water, leaving only a few small mounds like isolated islands. In a few days, the fields and bridge railings were submerged in the water. Hares, snake frogs, and insects in the fields, at this time, the great disaster came, and they hid deep in the forests of the north and south levees. If a haystack or section of tree floats in the water, it's a lifeboat for small animals.

This time the water came quickly, looking at a white line in the distance, gradually advancing, rumbling and rolling, like thunder, in a day or two, between the north and south levees, there was a vast ocean. Looking east and west, the water and the sky are the same, the sea and the sky are wide! Looking north and south, the vicissitudes of the sea, not giving up day and night, the forest on both sides of the Xinyi River, the line of the Xinyi River embankment sinks!

The water surface is sparkling, birds are flying, the northeast wind is blowing, the waves are rising, a wave is pressed against a wave, layered on top of each other, the second forward, lapping at the embankment, surging and sounding. If the wind and waves are high, it will remove the soil at the foot of the embankment, even if there are rows of intertwined willow trees and solid turf on the north slope, it cannot be taken lightly, and once the levee leaks, the consequences are unimaginable! At this time, it is a severe moment for flood prevention, and all townships, towns, and villages have prepared embankment materials, organized the embankment team, and waited in a strict line.

Three hundred miles of xinyi river, during the flood discharge, the smoke wave is small, becoming a spectacular scenery in northern Jiangsu, attracting the people of four townships and eight towns to see the strange.

On this day, several of Da Tao's brothers set up a village flood control headquarters on the south slope. Da Tao was also pulled by his sister-in-law, nephews and nieces to the embankment to watch the water and relax. The levee was crowded with people coming and going. Several wood dogs, yellow, white, flowery, and black, huddled around the crowd or gathered in piles and barked at the surface of the water.

The Big Peach family has a small black dog that is half large and not big, less than one year old, the dog's name is "Little Black", which is also squeezed in the leg gap, and sometimes runs to Da Sheng to spread joy, and Li Da Sheng is also on the embankment. Li Dasheng used to go to Da Tao's house, sometimes bringing a piece of cake, sometimes bringing a small fish, feeding it, teasing it, and coaxing it like a child.

The little black dog looked puzzled, this put it up with one hand, cute and handsome new aunt, this month, why didn't the master's house come?

Puppies don't understand human affairs. This new aunt has been dismissed.

In the distance drifted a pile of wheat straw, on which seemed to be small animals such as hares crawling on it. Several dogs barked excitedly as they rushed into the water. Spectators on the shore are also happy to watch the liveliness. The little black dog of the Big Peach family, also following behind, rushed to the flood-soaked bridge deck, the water on the bridge deck has legs and stomachs, it looks calm, in fact, the water flow is very fast. Several large dogs could not stand in the depths of the water and quickly ran back to the shore. Little Black was short in stature, lacked strength, stood unsteadily on the bridge deck, and was swept off the bridge by the current. The little black dog swam hard in the water, and at the same time barked in fright, and the eyes that called for help searched anxiously for the owner on the shore. Da Sheng seemed to hear Xiao Hei shouting, "Big Aunt, save me!" ”

Da Sheng has feelings for the little black dog: "Family affairs are not affectionate! Little Black, my love 'witness', I will always be your 'great aunt', Little Black, I am coming! ”

Da Sheng took off his undershirt, threw off his trousers, put on only a pair of pants, and ran toward the water surface of the bridge. He jumped hard, constantly adjusting the strength and angle of his pace rapidly under his feet, and soon came to the opposite side of Xiao Hei, quickly dived into the water, and swam towards Xiao Hei. The crowd on the shore let out a cry of surprise. Big Peach's heart also hangs to the throat eye! I wanted to shout, but I seemed to be gagged. While running behind the crowd, he prayed anxiously in his heart: "Dasheng, you are stupid! Who told you to go down? How dangerous! What can you do if something happens to you? Oh my God! Bless the peace of the great life! ”

At this time, the Yi River is turbulent, and ordinary people are not suitable for going into the water. A production team, only one or two old crop handles with good water characteristics can swim in such water conditions. In a village with a population of several thousand along the Yi River, when the Yi River is flooded, it can swim three or five hundred meters in the water, generally no more than ten people.

Outsiders, who are not familiar with water and do not understand the terrain, cannot easily go into the water.

Li Dasheng was an athlete in his student days, tall and long-armed, flexible and powerful, playing small in the Yi River to cut grass and pick vegetables, and learning a good water quality behind the old crop handle. An old squad leader in their village who had retired from the army had also taught him a lot of skills for armed crossing. When the wind and waves are calm, Da Sheng holds up his clothes with both hands, treads water under his feet, and jumps out of the water above the navel of his body for more than ten seconds.

Da Sheng held Xiao Hei with one hand, and paddled desperately with the other, the three ways of treading water under his feet were used alternately, shaking his body, constantly avoiding the whirlpool and rapids, stepping downstream, five hundred meters downstream, Da Sheng supported the black dog to the shore, Xiao Hei broke free of Da Sheng's embrace, and rushed in the direction of Da Tao.

The pedestrians on the levee were stunned at first, holding their breath and pinching a handful of sweat for them. Seeing them safely ashore, the crowd erupted in cheers, some applauding, some applauding.

Little Black jumped next to the big peach, and the big peach went up and slapped it: "Damn thing, you're in trouble today!" Looking at the direction of Dasheng, tears suddenly poured out, and he said in his heart: "You are a dead man!" You have to have three long and two short, and I don't live! ”

After seven or eight days of flooding, the grumpy river gradually calms down, and the river surface is smooth as a mirror, which is a good time to catch shrimp. There are those who cast nets on the Bridge of the Xinyi River to catch fish, those who use probe nets and trawls to catch fish in the field ditches, those who use large and small fish to pull fish by the river, and more who pick small shrimp by the river at night.

Dasheng's father had stiff legs and feet, muscle atrophy, and difficulty walking for some days. In the east of the Tangjia ji town, an old Chinese medicine doctor named Tian Jihuan, is a family of Traditional Chinese medicine, after diagnosis, said to supplement calcium and potassium, yin and yang double supplement, the best food supplement is small fish and shrimp, fried crispy, even belt bone eating effect is the best. Dasheng is ready to pick more shrimp this year.

The white rice shrimp flowing in the Yi river is a unique flavor of the famous food, shrimp is eaten grass, wild ping, algae grown, when out of the water jumping around. Can be mixed with green peppers, can be cooked braised vegetables, can be fried and fried, sprinkled a little when making soup, the soup color is white, the taste is delicious. After the summer harvest and rushing to grab seeds, the fish and shrimp flowing in the Yi River nourished the farmers on both sides of the Yi River, so that the farmers quickly recovered their physical strength. In the middle of summer, every household will dry dried fish and dried shrimp, and outside the village, the smell of fish and shrimp is permeated, and the cats are busier than usual.

Pick small shrimp after the evening, to the bank of the Xinyi River in the willow bushes to pick up.

First of all, make a dozen small shrimp, and then prepare a small horse lamp.

Go to the market town and pull a few inches of white gauze, cut it into a square of about one square meter, and then cross it with wicker or poplar branches, pick up the four corners of the gauze, tie it well, and then tie up the bait, and the shrimp will be ready. The pony lamp can also be made in the soil method: take a brine bottle, tie a circle of cotton thread or thin wire around the bottom of the bottle, burn the bottom of the bottle on the fire, and then put it in cold water for a stir, the bottom of the bottle falls off along the coil, and the lampshade is ready. With another wooden board, fix a small oil lamp, put the lampshade cover, tie it to a small tree stick and pick it up, and a small horse lamp that is not afraid of the wind will be ready.

Li Dasheng spent a morning and a half of effort to prepare all this, sat down, smoked a few cigarettes in a row, and now smokes "Lihua" brand cigarettes, and the price of "rose" cigarettes is the same, it is two cents and six packs, but the taste is a little spicy, a lot of rushing, more able to meet his growing addiction. Three cents and seven packs of "Huaxin" cigarettes, four cents and four packs of "big front door" cigarettes, Dasheng can not afford to smoke, but when entertaining customers will buy a pack.

At the moment, in the courtyard of the Big Peach family, Big Peach was washing and drying clothes under the tree—sometimes sitting there embroidering flowers. Through the flower wall of the courtyard, Da Tao's eyes have been searching for the familiar figure, and once the person gets out of the field or returns home, a line of sight locks on him like a lidar. This girl who loves to talk and smile has not shown a smile on her face for two months.

At dusk, people who had eaten breakfast and dinner and went to the Xinyi River to pick up small shrimp set off one after another. They lined up along the water's edge on the north slope of the levee and dipped the shrimp into the water, and the more muddy the water, the better. Picked up one after another every few minutes, each one will not be empty, and the phosphorus white shrimp jumps around on the gauze, jumping high. You have to shake them into the shrimp frame (or bucket or basin).

Night fell, a horse lamp hanging on the willow treetops lit up, for a time, the light poured out from the hazy, shadowy bushes, clumps, clusters, twinkling, light and dark, like countless bushes of flowers blooming, golden light, dazzling, like two swimming dragons, and like a string of pearls embedded in the banks of the Xinyi River.

Looking out into the river, fireflies flutter on the surface of the water, and the stars under the water surface are dotted, like the Geng Geng Milky Way. This river, separated by lovers, has no bridge to cross.

Da Sheng seemed to hear a faint sound behind him, turned his head to see, it was the back of a person who had left, a small black dog, squeezed around Da Sheng, making a whimpering sound, and did not want to leave for a long time. There is an extra bag of leek cakes in the shrimp frame, which is still warm. Da Sheng picked up a piece and took a bite, it was the long-lost, familiar taste.

Li Dasheng learned the craft

The couple who broke up gradually drifted away and became silent, and from then on, they slowly became passers-by. They live in parallel worlds, each with a different life, the years pass, they run on their respective tracks, only the timeline this dimension is the same, the others, almost no intersection.

In the early eighties, rural high school graduates like Li Dasheng were an awkward group. If you can become a soldier, recruit a worker, or be admitted to a rural contract teacher, you will become a fragrant food in the marriage market. If you are still working in the countryside, you are rejected by many parents in the marriage market. They are said to be "drifting goods", "bran shrimp", "Wen is not like a Xiu Cai Wu is not like a Ding".

Just like the protagonist Gao Garin in Lu Yao's novel "Life", although Liu Qiaozhen loves him in his heart, in the eyes of Liu Qiaozhen's father Liu Liben, he is far less in line with his heart than the horse bolt who can do business.

Li Dasheng has the temperament of a scholar, an athlete with a long figure, wearing a white shirt, sweatpants, shoes, combing his head, riding a shiny bicycle, coming and going on the main road of the village, it is simply a rural version of Tang Guoqiang, some girls see it, very moved. However, when it comes to the object of treatment, many parents dislike his conditions, saying that he "cannot cultivate, cannot plant; shoulders cannot be picked, hands cannot be carried; cannot bear hardships, and cannot be used in the middle (in fact, Dasheng's agricultural work technology is already decent)".

Besides, Da Sheng still has sick parents, which girl is willing to serve her in-laws as soon as she enters the door?

Marriage is also a kind of "politics", paying attention to the exchange of resources, joining hands with the strong and the strong, and the countryside is no exception, and we must consider the door to the door.

The conditions of Dasheng are simply the worst, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find a partner. Some disabled and mentally handicapped women also entered his sights.

Poor thinks differently. People are forced out by the environment, and Dasheng is like a trapped beast, looking around for a breakthrough.

The students decided to learn a craft, choose to choose, choose a craft between mental and manual labor, and learn a relatively low-cost craft - carpentry work.

One of Da Sheng's cousins was a famous carpenter in the village, and Da Sheng bought some common tobacco and alcohol gifts and went to his uncle's house to explain his intentions to worship the teacher, and the uncle gladly agreed, letting him lay hands on the back. In a few months, DaSheng learned seven or eight points of common basic skills such as sawing, planing, chiseling, pulling wire, and slitting.

The family is inseparable from labor, DaSheng returned home, bought carpenter tools and several copies of the "XX Furniture Encyclopedia", using some old wood, while practicing, while studying and pondering the traditional tenon technology, in less than a year, benches, chairs, eight immortals table, writing desk, dresser, chest of drawers, doors and windows, room beams, have passed. Many of the problems of the tenon technique have also been realized under the painstaking meditation of Dasheng, such as the swallowtail mortise that the general folk teachers and masters can not make. He is good at measuring and calculating, has the concept of space in his head, and has a confident idea before the start of construction. The furniture he made used less nail glue and more mortise-eye closure. Therefore, the furniture he creates is material-saving, beautiful in shape, tightly sewn, durable, leading the trend, and is well received by users in the market. In a year and a half, Dasheng became a well-known little carpenter. Some people even asked him to come to his door to help build furniture, provide tobacco, alcohol and tea, and pay his workers. The Li family's livelihood is much better.

If the uncle's work is not finished, he will also ask Da Sheng to help. When doing work, Da Sheng's proficiency in kung fu and the dexterity of carving dragons and drawing phoenixes attracted the attention and praise of many people, and some people inquired whether his personal problems had been solved. At this time, the uncle would often respectfully hand the other party a cigarette and say in a pleading tone: "Your old ears are a little longer, and you care for my nephew!" Da Sheng's mind to find his daughter-in-law was active again.

The fate of the eldest student has arrived

In the early spring of 1984, Da Sheng took advantage of the february of the new year to make some stools and drag them to the market with bicycles to sell. The stool was smooth and sturdy, and the key parts were made of mulberry wood, and in a short while it was sold in half. A young man walked to the stall of the students to choose a stool, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the two people invariably said: "Old classmate, it is you!" ”

Da Sheng said, "Take a few and go home and sit down!" Don't talk about money! ”

The young man said, "How about that?" Spending money and effort, you can't afford to lose money. ”

The two men repeatedly pushed back. The young man took four stools, and the eldest student only charged the cost according to the lowest price.

The young man was named Ma Dajun, a native of Tai Wan Village, and he was a classmate of the same high school as Da Sheng, who was in Class A and Dajun in Class B, and lived in the same dormitory for two years.

After about twenty minutes, Ma Dajun brought two more croppers in their fifties to the stall. Dajun said, "My grandfather and my third grandfather look at the stools well, and also come to pick a few." ”

The two croppers were choosing stools, looking at the big life, with a look of elusiveness on their faces, and nodded at each other from time to time, as if the intermediaries of the cattle and pigs next to them were picking livestock.

The two croppers each picked two stools, and the common people used to buy stools and chairs to buy double numbers. Since they were the elders of the ma army, Da Sheng also gave them a very favorable price, and the two croppers laughed happily haha. Money is short and long, they are relatives, friends and relatives, and they can't care too much about money.

The next day, Ma Dajun rode his bicycle to Li Dasheng's house in Taowei Village.

Da Sheng was opening wood, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he was busy on the road in front of the door.

When the student saw that it was Ma Dajun, he laughed dramatically and said, "Old classmate, after graduating for two years, if you don't meet, you will see each other twice." What wind blew you in? Usually, I can't please you! Da Sheng estimated that the bench sold on the set yesterday was favored by the big army, and it was estimated that he would take over a business next.

Ma Dajun said: "Old classmate, there is something wrong with you, your fate is coming!" Go to the house and say. ”

Let the guest of honor sit down in the room, pour tea, and say uncontrollably: "Am I ready to send it, or do I go to the door to do it?" ”

The army said, "Door-to-door, door-to-door!" But not to do carpentry work! I came to be a matchmaker, there is a fate, I thought of you, do you think it is appropriate? ......”

Daisei's mother heard that there were guests coming, and quickly killed chickens, cooked, and bought wine.

It turned out that twenty miles southwest of Taowei Village, there was a Big Bay Village, and there was a girl named Cui Feng in The Great Bay Village, who was Ma Dajun's cousin and the daughter of his uncle's family. Cuifeng graduated from primary school, his appearance was outstanding, and when he was young, he set up a family affair, the object was Wu Dalong from the same village, wu Dalong was also handsome in appearance and a talent. Many people in the Wu Dalong family work outside. Five years ago, he was taken to Xi'an by his second uncle to serve as a soldier, turned into a volunteer soldier, and then transferred to an instrument factory in Xi'an. The handsome young people of Jiangsu are rare in the rugged northwest and are favored by the niece of the factory director.

Wu Dalong wrote a letter to Cuifeng, in which he said that he was ill, lost his fertility, and now took care of a welfare factory in Xi'an to work, his health was not good, he could only live like a disabled person, planning to spend his life alone. In order not to involve Cuifeng, he announced that the marriage contract arranged by his parents was dissolved, and from then on, the two were irrelevant and ran for the future.

This letter gave Cui Feng a heavy blow. A moment of rapid fire attacked the heart, phlegm confused, trance.

A few years ago, the two were engaged. Whenever the radiant and heroic Wu Dalong stepped into the village head of Dawan Village, behind him was a group of children watching the liveliness, and the men, women and children who were working in the production team also stopped watching, and then a group of people came to Cuifeng's house with great fanfare. CuiFeng was half surprised, half shy, and hurriedly accepted the gift - there must be Xiafei brand alabaster from Shanghai, so she hurried to the kitchen to cook. Even after Wu Dalong left, the two people could not say a few words, but all the tenderness and sweetness were in the eyes of the two people.

Now this news of repentance has become a mountain that crushes the camel. In the past few years, Cuifeng's countless thoughts about Wu Dalong, countless visions for the future family, countless designs, and countless dreams have been shattered like soap bubbles. Cui Feng's mind couldn't turn this corner.

The Ma family asked Wu Dalong's parents for an explanation. Wu Dalong's father said in embarrassment: "Er da da can't help it, I can't ask this dead little ghost!" Cui Feng is a good boy, sorry for you! If you want to fight or scold, do as you please! Then he looked down and smoked without saying a word.

The Wu family said that the bride price was not needed, and Cuifeng's father said: "My family will not fall into this bad breath!" "When I got home, I entrusted the dowry money and materials to the matchmaker and returned it to the Wu family."

It's not over yet. Cui Feng was a whole head, anxious, sad, and stupid.

Idiots are divided into "literary idiots" and "martial idiots". "Literary idiots" only toss and turn in their own hearts, and do not beat people or curse people; "martial idiots" have to vent their anger and beat people and scold people.

Cuifeng is a "flower idiot", similar to a martial artist. As soon as he went out and saw a beautiful guy, or a young man in grass green clothes who was somewhat similar to Wu Dalong, he pounced on it and hugged and kissed and bit, while crying: "Big Dragon! My Dragon! You're back? "Make the other person cry and laugh."

Cuifeng's family had to keep an adult and watch her not to go out, which not only delayed the effort in the field, but also ruined her daughter's reputation and affected her future. How can this daughter get married!

Cui Feng's parents, when they heard that there was a famous doctor, took them to the clinic and treatment; when they heard that there were acupuncture experts, they asked them to go home and cast the spell. Jujube licorice floating wheat, gravel calamus gall south star, I don't know how much to eat. Cure to cure, but also do not see results.

That day in the street market, Ma Dajun found that Li Dasheng, who sold benches, and Wu Dalong were somewhat similar, both were "peach faces", tall, eyebrows clear-eyed, almost like brothers.

The army has been worried about the fate of his sister, and at this time a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: "Heart disease also needs heart medicine." He also knew about the situation of Da Sheng, so he went to find his uncle and uncle near the little piggy line and told his thoughts, and pulled the uncle and uncle to look at each other, the two old men looked at each other, and sure enough, there was some similarity, and when they went home to discuss, then try it: please ask Da Sheng to dress up as Wu Dalong to "chong xi", just say that Wu Dalong changed his mind and came back to marry Cuifeng. If Cui Feng can approve, she will marry the wrong to Da Sheng. Anyway, like Da Sheng's family conditions, there are not many choices, the family is like a fire pit, not many girls dare to jump in, as the saying goes, "poor do not choose a wife", although Cui Feng is stupid, but looks Like Zhou Zheng, marry Da Sheng, maybe Da Sheng is happy before it is too late.

Da Sheng and Dajun chatted while eating, and Da Sheng pondered: As long as she is a woman, she is better than playing a single stick. If you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, you are even more worthy of your ancestors. Idiot, can't work, isn't it just an extra mouth, I raise her, provide for her.

Da Sheng said in an affirmative tone, "I agree. I'll give it a try, and I don't think she's an idiot. ”

Meet the "Flower Girl"

A few days later, picking a good day, Da Sheng wore a grass green 65 style semi-new and old military uniform, the day was still a little cold, and a sweater was added to it - or Big Peach helped him knit, riding a bicycle to buy a little gift on the set, he went straight to Dawan Village, Ma Dajun followed at the head of the village, and the two quietly came to Cuifeng's house.

Every spring, Cuifeng's condition worsened, these days, Cuifeng is getting sick, the family invited a white-bearded old man to acupuncture. According to this white-bearded old man, CuiFeng's body was not clean, something was attached to the upper body, and this time the needle was a little heavier, and he wanted to drive this monster away.

Da Sheng quietly stood behind the door with the army, nodding his head with Cui Feng's father. In the house, Cuifeng's mother and sister held Down Cuifeng's hands and feet, and the white-bearded old man took a silver needle in his hand and took different acupuncture points, which were inevitable among the tiger mouth people, while constantly twisting, stabbing, and digging. While chanting the words: "Can't you go?" yes? Can't you walk? Don't hurry up yet! ”

Cui Feng shouted in pain, struggling, tears and snot a lot. Da Sheng looked at it, raised a heart of compassion, and couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Wow! Kiss Mommy! I can't do it next time!" Cui Feng let out a piercing scream.

……

Da Sheng vaguely felt that the girl lying down had already had a little contact with him, and he couldn't look at it anymore. A sense of mission and responsibility drove him to take a step forward, stopping the old man and saying, "Don't needle it again, I'll come!" ”

The old man pushed Da Sheng away and said, "That guy is going to be unable to hold on, and he is about to run!" ”

Da Sheng said in a firm tone, "Next time, next time please come!" ”

The old man looked at CuiFeng's father with a suspicious face and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Cuifeng's father lied and said, "This is my aunt and nephew, a doctor." So, let's get the needle next time! ”

He couldn't see his daughter's painful looks. From childhood to adulthood, his daughter did not move a finger, let alone dig a needle.

The white-bearded old man was sweating profusely and said, "All right." Look at the effect, this time it should be effective. The thing was not lightly injured, and should have been frightened, and I saw that it had run westward. ”

Cuifeng's father thanked the old man, gave him the cost of diagnosis and treatment, and politely sent the old half-immortal away.

Cuifeng's mother helped Cuifeng, and her sister-in-law brought a basin of warm water, and her sister helped her wash her face and tidy up her clothes. Cui Feng was still confused, at this time the army said to Cui Feng, "Sister Cui Feng, who do you think is coming?" It's Wu Dalong! He's coming home to marry you! Cui Feng was shocked, looked toward Da Sheng, his eyes lit up steeply, and suddenly pounced, "My big dragon! You're finally back!" How did you get to where you got to this point? Opening his mouth to bite Da Sheng's shoulder, and then not letting go, Da Sheng's shoulder was in a sharp pain. After a while, Cui Feng fainted.

After dinner, Da Sheng said, "Let me accompany Cui Feng to talk about my heart." The crowd agreed, "Good! ”

Da Sheng pulled a chair and sat on the edge of CuiFeng's bed, comforting her. Cui Feng cried for a moment and laughed for a moment. In the middle of the night, CuiFeng vomited a lot of mucus. Da Sheng is not disgusted, and carefully cleans up and cleans up, just like Qin Zhong in "Selling Oil Lang Monopoly Flower Kui".

When the twist flower brightened, Cui Feng seemed to be much more awake, and suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Da Sheng and said, "You are not Wu Dalong!" Which one are you? ”

Da Sheng said, "I am Li Dasheng from Taoxu Village, and I am a classmate of Ma Dajun in high school..." So he told the ins and outs of the matter and also told CuiFeng about his family situation.

Cui Feng said: "I trust you, you are a good person, I do not abandon your family." You think I'm really stupid? ”

Cui Feng whimpered and continued, "At the beginning, I was mad at the negative Wu Dalong, I was confused, and I didn't know what I did in those days. Later, there were seven points of insanity, three points of sobriety, but there was no way! I can only go crazy, I have no face to see people! ”

Da Sheng gently comforted and said, "This is good, your illness is better." You take good care of your body, and as for whether to marry me or not, you should consider it carefully, and I will not force it. ”

Cui Feng said, "You hate me? I decided to marry you. You are a good man, take me away! ”

Da Sheng said, "You don't hate me, and I don't hate you, so we'll make up our minds!" ”

"One word is enough!"

Cui Feng's illness is better, the diet is normal, the body is gradually getting stronger, the face is white and red, and she can help the family to do some light work, it seems that she is already a normal person.

CuiFeng's mother had some regrets, but just asked Li Dasheng to "chong xi", which was equivalent to helping a favor. Really want to marry her daughter to that poor boy who has a poor family and a broken career, Cuifeng's mother feels a little loss. I heard that DaSheng just learned the carpentry craft, but he served his in-laws when he married, which is a bottomless pit in the bitter sea.

The old couple was discussing the matter of "regret" outside the window, and the Cuifeng in the window listened to a real, anxious, and stupid. This time, the shout in his mouth was not "Wu Dalong", but "Da Sheng! Li Dasheng! ”

The old couple panicked, called out to Ma Dajun, and commanded him: "Hurry up and invite Li Dasheng!" ”

As soon as Li Dasheng arrived, CuiFeng's illness was better again.

"Could it be that they really have a relationship!" Cui Feng's parents no longer doubted and confused this time, and said to Da Sheng categorically: "Go home and pack up, you two hurry up and get married." On the sixth day of the first month of next month, your family comes to bring someone. ”

In March, it is the time when peach blossoms bloom. "Cauliflower yellow, idiot busy." In previous years, as soon as the cauliflower and peach blossoms bloomed, it was the time when Cuifeng, an idiot, was busy. This year, Cuifeng became a bride: tall, quiet, delicate, subtle, steady, and generous. Standing under a peach tree under the well platform of the Big Field of the Dasheng family, washing, panning for rice, and picking vegetables. A good picture of a rural beauty with "peach blossoms on every face".

Big Peach's love affair is frustrated again

Da Tao also talked about an object, the boyfriend is the nephew of the town secretary Yang, who works as an accountant in the town grain management office, and the current work has not been regularized. The grain control office is a fat and oily unit, and usually the welfare is divided into rice and noodles, oil and sugar, and there are fruits on holidays.

Xiao Yang Accountant is a high school graduate in the county, looks like a table of talents, more generous and shrewd than rural youth, and looks like he has seen the world. His hair was neatly combed, he wore cream polyester tube pants, sometimes dark blue flared pants, pointed black leather shoes, and rode a "Phoenix" brand bicycle, coming and going, like a gust of wind. Every time I go to Da Tao's house, my face is full of smiles with exaggerated performances. He was thoughtful, polite and polite, with a wide-wearing eyelid. Sometimes he would bring a tiara for the big peach, sometimes fruit, sometimes a few magazines. He talked in front of Da Tao, talked about literature, talked about movies, commented on TV series, and often talked about Zhang Yu, Chen Chong, and Liu Xiaoqing. Talking about his visits to famous mountains and rivers, he spoke vividly and colorfully, making people immersed in the scene and fascinated.

In the spring, Da Sheng got married, and Da Tao silently blessed him. She confessed to her heart: "This page has turned over, goodbye, Dasheng!" You can only hide in the field of my heart for the rest of your life! ”

In the face of Xiao Yang's pursuit of accountant, Da Tao's heart was like a small stone thrown into an ancient well, flooding with waves. Spring is coming, and that girl is willing to live up to the spring light? Xiao Yang Accountant is young and handsome, lively, good at work, and well-informed. Every time she came, it brought her unexpected joy, made her feel it, and breathed in the air outside.

Tao Lao Wang and his wife are also very satisfied with this family affair! Not only did he and Secretary Yang climb the family, but Wang's uncle's god calculated that his daughter's marriage should be in the southwest or northeast. Isn't the grain control office in the southwest? It seems that there is a chance to meet thousands of miles, a match made in heaven!

In April and May, Xiao Yang's accountant ran diligently and came every Sunday. When the two were alone, such as going for a walk in the field, Xiao Yang's accountant's hand would be a little dishonest, and Da Tao's words and actions clearly rejected him, but in his heart he silently forgave him: The city youth is always more lively than the rural youth. Before the marriage is finalized, Da Tao will not easily hand over his most precious things.

In July and August, Xiao Yang's accountant suddenly stopped coming. Big Peach thought, is it too cold to him to offend him? If the two loves are long, are they in the twilight of the dynasty? Maybe it's too busy collecting public grain in the summer? Accountant is a busy person and not available? If there is no time, you should also hand over a sentence!

Da Tao decided to go to the town grain management office to ask for the truth. When I arrived at the grain control office, I entered the gate, and in front of Xiao Yang's accountant's dormitory, an iron general opened the door! Looking in through the window, people go to the empty house.

Then I inquired at the doorman, who was an old revolutionary during the Period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and once froze off a toe. The old man said: "Xiao Yang's accountant was promoted and transferred to the Xingou Grain Management Institute as the deputy director, and I heard that I talked about an object, a nurse from Xingou Hospital, and was ready to get married." ”

When the big peach listened, his body seemed to be scattered, soft, he didn't have any strength, he couldn't say a word, and the old man's next words were not clearly heard.

Big Peach pushed on the bicycle, how to get on the car, how to turn, no impression, confused and stared back home, a head into the house to lie down, covered head and sleep.

The heart of the big peach was frozen, just thawed, and sealed again.

In 1984, the flooding of the Yi River receded relatively early, and after some sun barbecue, the fields of the Yi River revealed a layer of fertile silt. The silt that settled out of the flood was soaked with lufeng and Anhui charm, replenishing the floating soil washed away by the flood and bringing strong fertility to the fields of the Yihe people.

It's autumn planting season again, when every household is busy ploughing the fields and planting wheat. Except for a small number of people who use walking tractors to cultivate, most farmers still use water cattle and cattle to cultivate the fields, and sometimes supplemented by manpower. I don't wait for anyone when I am a solar term farmer! Every household came out early and returned late, wearing stars and wearing the moon, the fields were full of people, the heat was in full swing, and the cows shouted and hissed. Until nightfall, there are still a little sparks in the fields, and in the cool night wind, the songs rise and fall. The song is the song of the farmer when he ploughs the field, and the song is also called "beating the beating".

The cattle are driving in front, the crop handles the plough in the back, and while swinging more than two inches long— a hemp rope whip that can reach the neck of the cow, knotted with a knot of rope, from time to time "snapping" a whip in the air; while singing a roaring song, the song controls the rhythm of the livestock's walking, mixed with various signal commands. Songs, whips, and insects converge into an idyllic symphony.

The old crop handle style, generally also a master of singing, singing is also a singing of three sighs, that one singing out: "vomit - alas - oh - oh come ..." in the field with the wind, a hundred turns a thousand times, the first time I heard the amorous "dresser", and then listened to the humor of "Eight Duan Jin", and the final note, there was the lament of "Meng Jiang Girl".

The songs of Yin Laocheng and Wang Si's father cannot be separated from the charm of Huaihai opera: "Seven Sons Rhyme", "Cross Rhyme", "Five Character Seizure", "Full Stage Cavity", "More Inner Tone". Yin Laocheng was high-pitched and bright, and his voice was like Danjiao; Wang Fourth Father was hoarse and vicissitudes, and his voice was like an old student. Not only did the old buffalo listen to it and walk happily, but the people next to him did not sleepy and have spirits when they listened.

Some of the old-fashioned farmers who sing songs together in their spare time play different "beatings" in their respective fields, and these "beatings" sound push and pull each other in the night sky of the field, greet and send, undertake, avoid, set off, supplement, pad leak, hook, far and near, one after another, sounds like a play. This original "Yihe Opera Aria" will be lost if it is not inherited by young people.

Those young descendants, such as the big pole of Xizhuang, the second nerd of Qianzhuang, and the small son of Dongzhuang, play "wrestling", lack of kung fu, and are completely a copy of mahjong songs.

Li Dasheng does not beat when ploughing the field, but silently supports the plough and follows behind the cattle, sometimes swinging a whip and gently hitting the cow's ass, only when turning and changing the mound does he shout: "That stomp!" ”

This afternoon, Da Sheng was plowing the ground in front of her, and Cui Feng was mixing fertilizer and sowing wheat seeds in the back, and she was already a good assistant to the family. In the evening, Da Sheng closed the work early, Cui Feng was a bit picky these days, go home early to cook, but can not lose Cui Feng's body.

Da Sheng led the cattle and carried the plow rake, and Cui Feng pushed the bicycle to walk behind. Just as Peach was pushing a bag of wheat seeds north on his bicycle, they met on the road.

The sun was about to set on the horizon, and the fields were covered with a layer of light, and the flowers of the big peach, the big life, the green phoenix, the cultivating cattle, and the wild artemisia wild chrysanthemums on the roadside were blooming, all bathed in the golden red sunset afterglow, and their heads, faces, eyebrows, and foreheads were all covered with a bright color, and the faces hanging reddish looked even redder.

They all stopped, and the married students no longer shyed away from talking to The Peach in public, he held the faucet of the Peach in one hand, and said: "Is there any obstacle in the world that cannot be passed?" There was encouragement and concern in his eyes. Big Peach pursed her lips and nodded vigorously. Cui Feng did not look away, looking into the distance, the clear and bright Xinyi River in the distance was quietly and slowly flowing eastward.

CuiFeng returned home, took a few pieces of clothing to the side of the square pond to wash, for a long time did not go home, the day is gradually getting dark, Da Sheng's heart is worried, can not rest assured, hurried to the edge of the pond to find, far away to see Cui Feng standing on the edge of the pond under a plane tree, holding a group of mirror frames, motionless, silently looking. Cui Feng waited until Da Sheng approached to find out, his face was red, and he hurriedly put it away. Da Sheng had already glimpsed it, it was a photo, and the avatar on the photo was very similar to himself, and Da Sheng understood in his heart.

Da Sheng smiled and said, "Miss him? Cui Feng looked even more shy. Da Sheng sighed, "Stay in that green space in your heart!" Alas, everyone has an emotional place in their hearts! Cui Feng whispered, "I didn't think about him either, I just pulled it out of my laundry suit pocket." ”

Da Sheng touched Cui Feng's slightly convex belly and changed the subject: "The little guy was born, if it is a boy, it is also named Da Long, okay?" Let you hurt, let you fight, let you scold. ”

Cui Feng smiled heartily, stretched out his fist, and gently hit Da Sheng's shoulder.

Peach's marriage

As the saying goes: "Heroes are afraid to see the old neighborhood", "The local does not shake the drums".

The girls in Chaonan County along the Yi River like to marry to Chaobei County, one by one, as if it is closer to Huaguoshan City, and it seems that the conditions are better than their hometown. But in fact, farming life is hard, marrying the past, eating the same food, suffering the same suffering, suffering the same sin, and of course, enjoying the same blessings.

Since they feel that life is going to a high place, even if it is an illusion, then, when they return to their mother's home, they must deliberately dress up in a beautiful scenery, prefer to pour the sauce jar, rather than pour the sauce rack, the shelf is high, the gifts brought to the mother's family are rich, the greeting of acquaintances is high-profile, the small couple with the child, the family shows love and harmony all the way to prove that their original choice and vision are correct.

The Yihe River flows north and south, like the roots and whiskers of a big tree, weaving a large net, and the combination of Chaonan County and Chaobei County has formed an inextricable relationship of kinship.

There is one situation that is special. Some girls whose love on the south bank of the Yi River has been frustrated choose to marry to Chaobei County, and marry farther away, the farther away the better. It is a paradise where they bid farewell to past love, closed the hearts of young girls, and healed the wounds of their hearts. This choice, at first, there was a hint of helplessness, a hint of bitterness. However, most of these talented and proud red faces are capable characters, losing the east corner and harvesting the mulberry, and after many years, they will often shine in a foreign land, vigorously, and harvest many unexpected successes and happiness.

Big peach girl, after two failed loves, even if she is guarded like a jade, there will inevitably be someone behind her to point out, a girl who chooses one out of a hundred, in the rural marriage market, the price has dropped, high, low. In this case, marrying chaobei county far away is her best choice and the fate of her marriage.

Tao Laowang started a distant relationship and asked them to pay more attention to Da Tao's marriage.

Tao Da Tao, marriage really should be in the northeast, fifty miles away, more than a hundred miles away.

Through the introduction of an aunt from afar, Da Tao married Zhu Dayong, the principal of the village primary school in Haibin Village, Northeast Township, Chaobei County.

Zhu Dayong, 28 years old this year, graduated from Chaobei County Middle School and high school, failed the college entrance examination many times, and was admitted to the village primary school contract teacher two years ago. His father is the secretary of the brigade in the village for many years, the qualification is old, the family is large, the social relations are familiar, and the upper and lower levels of the northeast township give the old secretary three points of face.

Zhu Dayong is hard at work and can speak the Tao. His many years of college entrance examination experience, the biggest gain is that the primary and secondary school knowledge system is familiar, the cultural foundation is good, the basic skills are solid, the standing position is high, the vision is far, coupled with his insight into the psychology of poor students, sympathy for the situation of poor students, and understanding the shortcomings of poor students, so Dayong soon became an expert in making up for the difference in teaching.

In rural teaching with a weak foundation, whoever grasps the poor students will grasp the quality. At that time in the county high school, Dayong also regarded himself as a poor student, although the relationship between classmates was good, but many times fell off the list, Dayong's many years of inferiority and humiliation of the mental process, let him unforgettable. He has a strong empathy with poor students.

In fact, Zhu Dayong's level of knowledge has reached the level of university admission, but he was afraid of the stage when he encountered the big exam, played abnormally, and repeatedly failed the list, which made him lose confidence. Therefore, in his teaching, he pays special attention to the cultivation of students' self-confidence. When he encounters students going to the township primary school to compete, he must appear to speak, do psychological counseling for students, and cheer for students. He also personally cooked, wrapped the rice dumplings for the students in advance, spread the shallot oil cakes, and encouraged the students to say: "We must have answered correctly in this exam, we have passed the exam (zongzi), and the ranking can also be rushed up (onion)!" ”

The power of the spirit is infinite, and for two consecutive years, Zhu Dayong taught well and tested well. The work was affirmed by the leadership. The old secretary once again moved, and Zhu Dayong was appointed as the principal of the village primary school.

Zhu Dayong, who came out of the study hall, worked conscientiously for two years, and his age was staggering to 28 years old, and he had no object. In the past, I was bent on jumping the agricultural door of the college entrance examination and could not implement the object. After two years as a primary school teacher, it is not easy to find a partner.

Why? Because the genetic characteristics of the Zhu Dayong family are: short, short legs, black and fat, several generations of daughters-in-law are not easy to find. The old secretary swore that in this life, there is a little power and a little power, and he wants to exchange this favorable condition for the appearance of his daughter-in-law, as the saying goes, "one generation has no good wife, three generations have no good son", and the son's generation must "change seeds"! I was bent on finding a beautiful daughter-in-law to improve her genes. The daughter-in-law's condition is: beautiful, tall, white skin, slim, and strive to hold a big grandson with thick eyebrows and big eyes, white and fat.

Although Zhu Dayong is not proud of his appearance, but full of splendid embroidery, in the view of finding an object and his father is "slightly the same as what the hero sees": since ancient times, the talented son is a beautiful person, the beautiful woman loves the hero, I am also a personal figure in the countryside, why can't I love beautiful women?

Who knew that the beautiful women in their eighteens and nineteens and in their early twenties nearby looked down on him. Beauty is a scarce resource, they climb a tall branch as easy as a palm, why marry a twenty-eight-year-old man? The average looking woman, Zhu Dayong's father and son could not see it, and just like that, the marriage also stumbled.

Thousands of miles of marriage are tied, and fate is coming.

Da Tao's second aunt lives in Haibin Village, Northeast Township, Chaobei County.

Big Peach went to the second aunt's house, one was to relax, and the other was to help. She picked up cotton in the cotton fields for two days, which caused a sensation. Such a fairy-looking woman descended, and the cotton land became noisy. Many young men are no longer lazy, some pick up faster than before, some carry more than usual, they do not lose their demeanor, to the greatest extent to show the strength and skill of their labor, like a peacock opening the screen, looking forward to attracting the attention of foreign beauties. The bolder young man used the excuse to visit the second aunt of the big peach, and some of the big aunts and aunts took needlework and also went to the second aunt of the big peach to ask this and that. At a glance, the big peach is tall and tall, the curves are exquisite, the eyebrows are like spring mountains, the eyes are like autumn water, the skin is like gelatin, the appearance is like hibiscus, the waist is whisked willow, the jade step is windy; the white shirt is indeed good, the collar is hooked with red lace, and the pants iron out two trouser lines, which are both generous and foreign, and look unique. That temperament and appearance compared the flower beauties of the first and second villages of the seaside village. The second aunt said: "I also went to college for two years, but I didn't get admitted, and this year I came to my house to recognize the door." ”

Someone had already reported the news to Secretary Zhu, and the old Secretary Zhu would be suspicious of the letter, and it would be better to see it than to see it, and when he came to the door, it would be a hundred times stronger than he expected in his heart! Happy in his heart, the opportunity must not be missed, quickly invited the matchmaker to the door, and then informed Principal Dayong, your marriage problem, Dad is already working hard.

Principal Dayong was a little disbelieving that pie had fallen from the sky, and said to his father suspiciously, "Is there any defect?" Or is it a merry woman? Old Secretary Zhu educated his son and said: "I am afraid of the big sleeve cage (fox smell), this is assured, her second aunt is not, and then visit The South of Yihe will know." ”

Old Zhu then said, "The body doesn't look like a defective person, you see her bouncing around in the cotton field." I have been a production captain for many years, and I know this, whether the woman's health is good or not, I can see it at a glance. ”

Old Secretary Zhu was very emotional and said a little excitedly: "Merry woman? You think a woman is not a good person? Do you think that the average person wants to have a good time? Which of the merry women is not a first-class talent? Which is mortal? Which one has no ability? I think back then..." Old Secretary Zhu stopped for a moment and said to his son: "Go all out, after this village, there will be no shop!" ”

The matchmaker of the Zhu family went to the second aunt's house to explain his intentions, and the second aunt said: "There are also many people in the hometown who have proposed relatives, and they have not been optimistic for the time being." I also don't have a home for my aunt and niece's marriage, and Principal Zhu can take a look at it first, and the final opinion is still her parents. The matchmaker said, "Let's take a look." ”

When the two met, Principal Zhu Dayong used his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, sitting on a high chair and trying not to stand up. Although his appearance is not proud, he has a poetic and bookish atmosphere in his belly, and he has recently become a principal, cultivating a trace of official frame, and the aura has also been. During this period of blind date, President Zhu was humble and courteous, talked extraordinary, and successively talked about ancient and modern China and foreign countries, astronomical geography, Tang poetry and Song Ci, and also talked about life and ideals. Hearing that Da Tao was also a high school student, Principal Zhu Dayong blurted out the text fragments of "Yueyang LouJi", "Cao Jie Controversy", and "Peacock Southeast Flying", showing a solid foundation in the college entrance examination, and Da Tao only kept bowing his head to show his affirmation. The texts of Da Tao High School only have a vague impression, and the high school students who concentrate on studying in Zhangdian for two years can't help but be in awe of the high school students who have graduated from chaobei county middle school in front of them.

The standard for the big peach to find the object has been looked down upon by the appearance. Li Dasheng is handsome, Yang accountant is handsome, but what is the use? In the end, it is difficult to have a lover to become a family. Big Peach has a psychological shadow on her boyfriend's appearance. People can't just look at their appearance, no matter how good they look, they can't eat it as a meal. Marrying a man, dressing and eating, I identified this Principal Zhu. Men lack a little appearance, take care of the family, duty, honesty, can not be regarded as a disadvantage. Even, the opposite Principal Zhu brought her a sense of security. In the world, where is there anything perfect?

Peach went home to tell the situation, and her parents readily agreed. The girl is older, hurry up and get married.

Then the parents of both sides met, passed on the Cambodia, betrothed, and paid tribute, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner according to the process.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the New Year, the big peach is married. Da Sheng let his sister go out of the five yuan gift, the five yuan gift standard, which was the standard of gift gold between classmates and good friends in the rural areas of northern Jiangsu in 1985. Cui Feng's pregnancy needed to be recuperated, and Da Sheng came to the Yi River to sprinkle fertilizer in the wheat field.

It snowed years ago, and the snow in the fields has not yet melted years ago, and the roads in the mud fields are still a little muddy. Pedestrians must take advantage of the freezing of the road in the morning and evening. The Zhu family's welcoming party came early, with a hand-held tractor and twelve bicycles, with safflower balls on them. At that time, the wedding custom in Chaonan County was that the bride arrived home at noon or in the afternoon. But the customs of Chaobei County have always been different and different. For example, children have their ninth birthdays, newborns have twelve dynasties and full moon wine, and young people do their twentieth birthdays... They all rose up over there and then spread to Chaonan County. Now the marriage custom in Chaobei County is that the bride must not be more than noon when she arrives at the in-laws' house, and the VIPs must wait for the bride to arrive home before opening the table. The wedding wine in Chaonan County can start at ten o'clock in the morning and flow until the evening.

The welcoming team hastily ate a wine feast and hurried to leave, and the big peach put on his father's shoes and walked out the door, a big red umbrella covering his head, and the bridesmaid was a primary school teacher at The Seaside Elementary School and also a village flower. Two people, dressed in red and red umbrellas and red leather shoes, reflected the ground three feet around a red. The relatives and friends who were watching were amazed. The Tao family did not have much parting sadness up and down, but breathed a sigh of relief: Big Peach Girl, finally married!

The dowry of the big peach is very rich, and since it has been prepared a few years ago, there are ten sets of new quilts.

Principal Zhu smiled and closed his mouth, riding a bicycle carrying the bride, a long string of firecrackers exploded, the welcoming team turned to the north, along the two small bridges along the road, both released whips, scattered smoke.

On the Embankment of the Yi River, the relatives of the woman who sent the relatives turned around, and the hand tractor that welcomed the relatives turned to the west, and took a detour to take the Provincial Highway of the West Avenue. The bicycle team should cut a short path and take the Yi River back. They descended a large pile of slopes, crossed the Yihe River production bridge, turned east, turned north, and went straight to the port of the Cen Chi River.

Cen Chi River to see the flower pier ferry, different from the foreign ferry, a large cement boat, no machine power, no oar boat, only a penny, the power is to rely on a cable to drag back and forth. On the north and south banks, two locust stumps are nailed more than a meter deep, and a thick nylon cable is tied to the upper end, spanning both sides of the river. When the ferry departs, the boat is propped on the shore by a bamboo penny, and then stands on the bow of the boat, relying on the alternating two hands to pull the cable, dragging the ferry forward, and when it is close to the opposite shore, the boat is brought to the shore with a penny to let pedestrians come ashore.

In the spring festival these days, there are many pedestrians coming from the south to the north, under normal circumstances, pedestrians can't wait for the ferry to come, they get on the boat and drag themselves, and it is also very convenient to come and go.

The bicycle marriage team came to the ferry, but at this time the ferry was empty, and the boat boss was not there. Principal Zhu couldn't wait, he had to get home before noon, and he couldn't delay! The people on the big seashore don't care about the general river and look at it like a small ravine. In fact, Principal Zhu, these young people, who grew up in the school since they were young, did not have the opportunity to get off the sea several times. He stood along the river and looked out, knowing the principle of the ferry movement, so he beckoned his companions (mostly high school junior high school classmates, young school colleagues) to board the boat, and Principal Zhu wanted to show his hands in front of the beautiful people today. He volunteered, stood at the bow of the ship, and shouted to Peach and the bridesmaids: "Brothers stand and squat!" Sail on! He tugged at the cable and confidently headed for the north shore.

The northwest wind in the wilderness, the wind is strong, there is also a flow of water in the river to the east, the boat just ashore, it shakes east and west, the bow of the boat can not fall, across the river straight and swinging around, Principal Zhu is busy with his hands and feet, he is panicking, grasping the cable, leaning forward, and seeing that he is about to fall into the water. Peach was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Say it's late, it's fast. A muscular figure rushed to the side of the ship like a bolt of lightning. It turned out to be Li Dasheng, who had no time to take off his shoes, stood in the water and stopped the boat, pushed it under the cable, and then jumped on the boat, grabbed the cable, and dragged it freely.

It turns out that dragging the ferry also has a technique: the drager stands at the bow of the boat, as long as he stands up straight and steady, drags his hand, whether the hull is originally vertical or horizontal, the bow will naturally adjust in the middle of the way, first lean on the opposite shore.

Da Tao saw that he was a big student, his heart was full of mixed feelings, his eyes were red again, and he looked to the west, not far from the South River Cliff, where two years ago, two people used to wash their faces, talk and laugh, and rest. Ten miles upstream to the west, it is the legendary "Five Mile Locust", Dasheng, in this life, I will not send you to the "Five Mile Locust"!

Da Sheng glanced at Da Tao, silent, trying to concentrate on dragging the boat.

When the boat docked, Principal Zhu gave Da Sheng two packs of cigarettes and said gratefully, "Brother, you are a good person!" Thank you today! ”

The procession of marrying relatives went up to the North Shore and went away in a lively and lively way.

The red umbrella looked back nostalgically in the direction of his hometown: "Dasheng, go back!" Hurry back! Don't freeze! ”

Under the cloudy sky, snowflakes drifted down and sprinkled on Dasheng's head, mouth, and shoulders.

At the mouth of the ferry, next to the hut, the great life stood for a long time, motionless like a stake, allowing the north wind to blow the hair on his forehead. The heart said, "O sweetheart! In this life I can only send you to the Peach Blossom Ferry, goodbye! From now on, you will have to go with others to attest to another three lives. On the three stones of life, you and I have no names for each other in this life. Big peach, we have no chance in this life! If there is an afterlife, Big Peach, you and I don't drink that bowl of Meng Po soup, remember each other, see each other early, and continue the frontier! ”

At some point, the black dog of the Big Peach family came to Da Sheng's side and stared at all this blankly, the only thing he could do was to cling to Da Sheng's leg and give him warmth.

Under the vast canopy, in the endless fields, the marriage procession turned into a black line and disappeared at the end of the River Road where the Yi River flowed. Da Sheng and the black dog, the eyesight under the red umbrella has not reached, and it has become two black dots...

In this lofty heaven and earth, the emotions of the children of Xinyi River are the winds of the four seasons. There are strong and weak, cold and hot; some gentle, some fierce; some short, some long.

In this boundless field, the children of Xinyi River are tenacious horse chestnuts, reeds, bitter wood moss, bargen grass... Grows tough in the sand and brews sweetness in bitterness.
