I have been receiving Teacher Wen Tao's "Golden Moonlight" for some time, and it is said that I should have written some texts such as after reading the feeling, but I did not write for a long time, laziness is on the one hand, and not daring to write is the main reason.
To tell the truth, I retrieved "Golden Moonlight" from the station, opened the outer package, looked at the cover, glanced at the catalog, and put the book away, not daring to look at it. I am too familiar with Teacher Wen, almost all of the articles in this article I have read before, or I know the ins and outs of a certain article, do not want to touch those good memories, poke to the pain point.
Among the articles collected by Golden Moonlight, there is one that moves my heart the most, that is, "Ten Years". This is written by Teacher Wen to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his father's death. Before writing, Teacher Wen had told me to write a little commemoration of the ten years of my father's death. Although I have been working in journalism for more than twenty years, it is difficult to write about my father, and I don't know where to start. I encouraged him to write, saying that writing it out was also an explanation to himself. Teacher Wen said that it was good, and he did not dare to touch this aspect in the future.
After Teacher Wen finished writing this article, I dare not say that I was the first reader, and it was also relatively early. Some things are so magical, and my father also walked in 2010. At that time, Teacher Wen also encouraged me, so let's write together.
However, in the end, I did not write an article for my father with the theme of ten years, but only selected two fragments and wrote "Father Loves to Plant Trees" and "Father is the Cow". Speaking of cattle, Teacher Wen also wrote an article "The Cow of the Lü Family After the Temple". We both belong to the same peasant family, know the importance of a cow to the family, many scenes, say that he is also OK, say that I can do it, say that it is his father, say that it is my father. It is indeed such a thing, but I can't write it, teacher Wen wrote out what I wanted to say.
In particular, Teacher Wen wrote in the last paragraph of the article, "In the impression, Black Bull and father are very strong, very silent, the same hard work, and it is not clear who is more like whom." "It's a stroke of genius, I just took it and quoted it."
Sometimes I think that the old man has worked hard all his life for his children and daughters. Even the day of death is for the sake of children. Teacher Wen and I belong to the same Jiaodong area, and the customs and traditions are in the same vein. When new wheat comes down in the hometown, new wheat is offered, commonly known as the new wheat grave. It is a ritual of grinding new wheat into noodles, steaming them into steamed buns, graveizing deceased relatives, telling them that this year is another harvest year, letting them taste new steamed buns, and blessing the safety of the whole family. Teacher Wen's father died in the wheat season, and I think Father Wen just wants his son who has lived in the city for a long time to eat a big steamed bun with wheat aroma on the day of going home to the grave. Teacher Wen once told me personally that his mother steamed steamed with firewood, and he could eat both of them without using pickles.
My father died on April 11. There is a folk proverb in my hometown that reads "April 8 Cherry pinch." "Meaning, by the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the cherries can be picked." My hometown is a small cherry growing area. Since I entered the city, it is difficult to eat the small cherries of my hometown. Every cherry season, I want small cherries, but I can't always take leave with the unit in order to eat this bite. However, the year of my father's death, it was the ripening period of the cherries, and my father and fellow villagers not only came to the house to help, but when they returned to the city, they also let me carry a lot, saying that they were going back to the city to share the food. This is also the year I have been in the city for more than thirty years, eating the most cherries from my hometown. This also made me more convinced that the old man even considered the date of death for his children.
On the third anniversary of my father's death, I went home to the grave for three years, and then Caught the ripening period of cherries, and returned to Jinan to carry a little yellow cherry for Teacher Wen. Teacher Wen said that Yantai is full of big cherries and red cherries, and small yellow cherries are rare. He put it in his mouth and tasted it, and even said that the taste was good and the taste was very positive. We also talked about educating children. He said: "Educating children does not have to go to the counseling class and the first place in the examination, just educate the children to be a good person, the character is good, everything is there, just so-called, the government is out of the right, the wealth comes from the beginning." That's what he said and that's what he did. At the end of his life, he also instructed Xiao Wen to be a good person and a grateful person.
Reading through "Golden Moonlight", Teacher Wen spent a lot of space to promote Yantai apples, and shouted two voices for Yantai apples when he had the opportunity, and he was the spokesperson for Yantai apples. Teacher Wen also used a lot of ink to write the village history of the Lü family after the temple, the land temple, the father and fellow villagers, etc., and was a good son of the Lü family after the temple. Teacher Wen also wrote about Yubo in Yunnan, Yulin in Hong Kong, friends in the same window, etc., and is a close friend of relatives and friends. Teacher Wen also spent a lot of time writing about Lao Cui's noodle shop. On September 9, 2017, qilu evening news with the title of "Old Cui's Noodle Restaurant", said that Lao Cui was in the demolition of illegal demolition of the road twists and turns, attracted the attention of the main leaders of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee, and held an on-site meeting in the old Cui Daming Lake store, to do a good job in follow-up services for the business owners, is a good reporter.
Reading "Golden Moonlight" is not willing to look at it quickly, afraid that after reading it, there is no next volume, reading and reading, tears will flow down...
