【Popular Characters】Veteran Old Play boy | essay Wang Ether

Sweep the tomb, carry the warmth of your relatives, with the aroma of the earth, return to the flat road next to the tomb, and prepare to open the way back home. Suddenly, an electric wheelchair car slowly approached. Who is this? A closer look, the car is an old man, under the duck tongue hat, a pair of long white eyebrows, appear exaggerated and spirited, bronze face with a smile, jaw white beard, revealing a shallow stubble, obviously just shaved, is an old man who loves beauty! Wearing a light gray turtleneck down jacket, under the eye-catching floral cotton pants, the feet of the brown cotton shoes fell on the pedals, and the hands gently supported the handlebars; looking ahead, calmly, like a general who commanded Ruoding. If he held the gourd in his arms and held the dragon's head crutch, wouldn't the pig be a living Penglai immortal? Curious, I asked: Who is this? Nephew replied: Old play boy Sun Maojun. He also got to know me after being introduced, and he didn't know which generation of relatives were related, and he affectionately called me a cousin. To be precise, we are elementary school classmates. Just liberated inches, the age of the students is uneven, the whole school is a duplex class, the difference of ten years and twenty years old is not surprising. As the dean of the university at that time, many of his interesting things were hilarious. Nowadays, people in the village call him an old playboy, and I am not at all surprised. I heard that he became a soldier after school and served for many years. You can see his demeanor in an electric wheelchair, which still shows a military temperament.

Because we are old classmates, also known as old watches, we suddenly narrowed the distance, the conversation was relaxed and casual, remembered many of his past events, interesting things, and returned to the old Wangzhuang Village Primary School...

In school, he was a good student with a wide range of interests and diverse hobbies. The best at feeding the birds and blowing mud is very talented. The birds he feeds are not expensive, they are sparrows, magpies, doves and even crows that have just come out of their eggshells from trees and eaves... The "fluffy dough" of the red tongtong, commonly known as the "meat stick", chirped with his small mouth open, and he got black mulberry trees, grasshoppers, and small caterpillars to feed. You see him skillfully "booing" and whistling softly, and the birds dance with it and open their mouths, and he feeds him. Growing a little larger, in order to be convenient and fast, he simply took the grain in his mouth, held the bird in his hand, and let the bird's mouth take food and forage for water in his mouth, so that he could eat and drink enough water. He puffed his cheeks and closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying something. From the "meat stick" all the way to the hair out of the flight, he served meticulously, cold, warm, hungry, full, all grasped just right, never lost. The bird also has spirituality, seems to have feelings for him, does not abandon, a whistle, it smells and flies...

Blowing mud is more knowledgeable, and the important thing is that he will also make mud noises and blow himself. First select the mud at the edge of the Wang Tang, throw out a lump of sticky pond mud, grab a piece in the hand and knead it into a ball, and then pinch it into a villain shape a few times, pierce the eye through the middle hole, the upper head is a small horn shape, try to blow a few times, and then slightly tidy up, it will whine into a tune, we admire the onlookers, can't help but praise. His hands and lips were stained with mud, and he didn't care, and no one was around to pinch his mud. We see that our hearts are itchy, and we also want to try to blow it, and we want to have it even more. To these fans who spoil him, they seem to be dismissive: "Not yet, don't be busy." Then he got up and left. In fact, no one knows whether he got it right or not, only that in his school bag, there is often a sultry mud sound.

Later, I heard that he went as a soldier, and was the first conscript of the country, glorious that! Moreover, it is going to the metropolis of Shanghai, and it is also an enviable anti-chemical warfare soldier, that kind of military with technical content, wearing a gas mask, "knives and guns can not enter", which is fascinating.

As the saying goes, "The tiger will be at the door", and there are no weak soldiers under the strong general. It must be known that his father was an old revolutionary, who was a traffic officer of my underground party and the secretary of the underground party branch of Wangzhuang Village, who sent arms wisely, passed customs by trickery, was not afraid of sacrifice, made meritorious achievements, and became the mayor of Bahu Township in Tongshan County, but because he was not good at speaking at the mass meeting, he temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet and pulled the man to deal with it, and the good story has been passed down to this day. When the state once implemented the compulsory military service system, he actively signed up for the army, embarked on the front line of defending his family and the country, and sacrificed his precious youth for the people.

Good steel is used on the blade, after retiring, the state did not forget him, arranged for him to enter the mine factory, rushed to the first line of industrial construction on the hot tide, worked in the Hanqiao Mine for many years, and then supported xinkun to Mazhuangyuan, contributing to the mining of Ujin coal urgently needed by the industry. At the same time, I also learned the welding process, electric welding, steam welding, oxygen welding, and mastered everything; spot welding, running welding, back welding, flat welding, vertical welding and other processes are fully alive. He is the famous "welding king" in the mine, and the master that people respect.

After the closure of the coal mine, he also retired, and it was time for the mussels to be raised, but he was disarmed but did not return to the field, and still had to exert his residual heat. With a welding gun, go south and north, and make meritorious achievements again. Water conservancy projects, construction sites, sprinkled with hard sweat everywhere, leaving a reputation for being capable. It wasn't until I couldn't move that I told the old man to return home.

When I got old, I became an old playboy again. Unable to stay idle, he did not forget his old habits and picked up the old fun again - feeding the birds. At this time, the feeding of birds is no longer the grass-roots sparrows and spotted doves that I dug myself up in my childhood, but Bought tiger parrots, Southern quails, golden silk birds, painted grebes, brothers, pigeons and other precious bird species, and they are no longer carried by hand, but each is packed into eight bird cages. Grain into the jar, drinking water into the cage, regular feeding, morning stomping, cleaning bird droppings, tidying up the bird cage, serving properly, singing with the birds in the morning, following the birds during the day, sleeping with the birds at night, becoming a well-known "bird king"...

"Three-foot sword in the wind and clouds, a bed of books for flowers and birds". Wu can fight the sword in all directions to defend the country; Wen Ze is pleasant and optimistic about the world. Today, although Sun Maojun's old watch is eighty and eight, and he is old every year, he is still in good spirits, and he is an old playing child. Eat and wear, three meals a day, free two sons take turns to take care of, there are thousands of pensions in the waist. Every family for half a month, eat and drink without worry. Drive a wheelchair and travel around the village. The little days are full of taste, more immortal than the gods. You see his wheelchair and electric car, walking on the edge of Wangzhuang Village in Liu'an Huaming.

In the clear wind, there seems to be a faint sound of beautiful tunes, can it be the mud sound of old playing children?
