Xinxia is an administrative village under the jurisdiction of Meixian Town, Pingjiang County, and is the lovely hometown that gave birth to me and raised me.
Whenever I mention Xinxia, I feel that the name is very beautiful: fresh and handsome, bright and moving, radiant and thriving. It always gives people a lot of beautiful reverie and yearning.
I often ponder the meaning of "Xia", which should usually be the expression of "circle": for example, the fiery red morning glow, the warm sunset, the glow in the sky and other splendid natural phenomena are all wonderful scenery formed by "circle" under the action of the sun's brilliance. "The clouds reflect the sun and become the sunset, and the springs overflow into waterfalls."
If you have a heart, just circle around the 6.2 square kilometers of Xinxia, and a circular area will be formed in your mind, and you will magically feel that the original name of Xinxia is due to the terrain. "Xia" is preceded by a coherent phrase of "new", which gives "new" beauty and "Xia" fullness.
Of course, this is just a joke, and the origin of Xinxia's name is no longer verifiable. It's just that the people who have lived in Xinxia for generations have lived up to the beautiful vision of Xinxia and developed a heroic and enthusiastic character and a confident sense of home and country.
Xinxia has the advantage of generating geographical transportation, only five kilometers away from the county seat of Pingjiang, and the terminal of the three-way bus from the county seat is Xinxia Village.
Xinxia is also a crisscrossing transportation hub, with the north-south National Highway 106 and the Beijing-Guangzhou-Macao Expressway double line, and the east-west Menghua Railway, passing through Xinxia. Whether people pass through Meixian or to the high-speed entrance at the north and south ends of the county, it is only a few kilometers away from Xinxia, which is unique, convenient and fast, full of the atmosphere of the times.
Xinxia people contain a strong traditional village style, and the villagers adhere to a positive and open-minded lifestyle. The family affection between ethics in the family and the friendship between people have been polished by generations of ups and downs, and have penetrated into the bones. No matter how the social atmosphere changes and how the standard of living fluctuates, Xinxia people stick to their own rules of life and meet the sunset and moonrise every day ordinarily.
Xinxia Village is full of vivid examples of filial piety and filial piety, and respecting the elderly and obeying parents has become a common fashion in the whole village. Deeply moving, moving tear ducts. Ordinary people who ascend to fight can use their own actions to fully interpret the culture of filial piety.
Qiu Ticheng's mother, my neighbor, is now a 94-year-old man (died two days ago). For more than ten years, whenever he talked about the filial piety of the tenth ranked youngest son to his mother, the old man always had a happy and proud smile on his face.
The care and filial piety of the commission for his mother is reflected in every moment of every day, more than ten spring and autumn seasons as always.
The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to lift my mother out of bed, help put on clothes, shoes and socks, help me out of bed, then fold the quilt, squeeze toothpaste and pour the wash.
Then the breakfast prepared in advance was placed in front of my mother, and before the breakfast was finished, the tea was brought to the table. The old man has some pain in his feet and legs, and there are not a few teeth left, and he is a little picky in terms of diet, so he can only be mainly thin, but also has to take into account the combination of nutrients and constantly change the taste.
The diet of myself and my children's three meals a day slowly changed according to the mother's living habits.
In addition to the careful and thoughtful diet, there is also the coolness of the fan on a hot day, the warmth of the fire in winter, and the care of all aspects of waiting for the mother.
The commission never cares about the responsibility of supporting and caring for the mother with other siblings, and it is true that the other children of the elderly are also very filial to him, but fully respect the mother's choice. It is precisely because of her thoughtfulness and sensitivity that the mother always chooses to live in the same room with her younger son, which is difficult to leave.
Strictly speaking, the commission is not 100% responsible for the mother's filial piety, but the mother's life is difficult to violate, and obedience is filial piety. The word "filial piety" is inseparable.
People who have a commission of nearly 60, there are still many things to take care of at home, sometimes, they will inevitably be sick and tired, but in front of the old people they have to pretend to be nothing, standing in front of their mother is a strong and happy self.
At present, empty nesters in rural areas are a common social phenomenon. A popular saying on the Internet: "There is no farthest distance in the world than when parents are in bed, but children are in the address book." So that many times it appears, the old man is booed by the scammer, feels that it is a kind of comfort, and voluntarily gives money to the scammer such a sad thing. For such old people, "filial piety" has become an expensive luxury.
This is true for mothers, and the same is true for mothers-in-law.
Before caring for his mother, his mother-in-law fell ill first.
As a son-in-law, he took the initiative to take his mother-in-law to his home, took the responsibility of being a child, poured feces and urine, and bathed and wiped himself. Make delicious meals to serve. The mother-in-law was incontinent, often splashed the stool on the floor and four walls of the toilet, and Ticheng tirelessly washed and scrubbed, sometimes helping the mother-in-law take a bath three or four times a day and change clothes several times. He never complained, and sometimes even criticized his wife's inappropriate language. For six years, he took on the responsibility of special care for his mother-in-law until her death.
Caring for a sick and elderly person who is completely unable to take care of himself is sometimes more physically and mentally exhausting than caring for a baby.
For nearly twenty years, the commission was spent in the time of filial piety and respect for the elderly, and before he knew it, he was almost sixty years old, and he slowly began to enter the ranks of old age.
Children grow up like arrows in time, and parents grow old from the sun and the moon. Eternal laws of nature.
Qiu Ticheng is just an ordinary farmer, not as elegant as a reader, without any dazzling talent, unable to say more beautiful words, but with a loyal and kind filial piety and a safe and reliable arm. Eternal selflessness and persistent perseverance, single-mindedness, never discounting, this is all he has to his elders.
In ancient times, there were filial virtues such as "lying on ice for carp" and "cutting stocks and eating mothers". There is also the persuasion of Bo's parents not to be an adult son, and the cautionary saying that "sheep have the grace of kneeling and milking, and crows have the righteousness to feed back". It can be said that money is easy to get, but family affection is hard to find.
Filial piety is a necessary prerequisite for dealing with interpersonal relationships.
A few years ago, a villager surnamed Liu in his 50s died suddenly one night, leaving behind a mother in his eighties and a sick son who was discordant. After the villagers learned the news, they spontaneously paid for the timely door-to-door help with the aftermath, and were solemnly buried in the soil according to local customs.
For three consecutive years, his mother and grandson passed away one after another, and it was the villagers who broke the silence and extended their warm arms to help arrange the aftermath, without adding any trouble to the government.
In ordinary life, the interaction and mutual assistance of the villagers without utilitarianism and regardless of previous suspicions always shows the purity and cleanliness in them.
As Cai Kang once said: "Human favor is not jewelry, locked in a safe, it will not produce the so-called human favor. "Indeed, the relationship between people needs mutual help, needs to move, and more importantly, need to be practiced.
"Love" is a big pocket, and carrying it inside is satisfaction, and taking it out is happiness. This is based on the nourishment of traditional culture, and it is also a responsibility that I slowly weighed in the journey of life.
Xinxia people emphasize filial piety and etiquette, creating good rural customs and folk customs.
Following the rules and being diligent and assiduous are the kindness and loyalty essence of Xinxia people, and create their own unique labor results.
Let's take a look at Xinxia's tobacco tea and noodles. Tobacco tea is a specialty of Pingjiang, and the tobacco tea in Xianyuan Cave is the best in Pingjiang tobacco tea.
Xianyuan Cave, surrounded by mountains, has achieved a natural advantage for the growth of tea seedlings. Traditional varieties watered with spring water, pollution-free, pure green plants, original taste.
The leaves are oily and shiny, shiny and full-bodied. Natural mellow, the production is skillful, the kneading is fine, and the baking is good. The freshness is high, soaked in the bowl, and the tea leaves are gently beating, and the whole tea room is filled with the strong aroma of tea leaves for a long time.
The tobacco tea processed by Xinxia is soft and sticky in the mouth, elastic to chew, broken and sound. If you add a few tea peppers, the aftertaste is endless, and the teeth are fragrant.
Pingjiang's tea industry has a long history of more than 2,000 years, and has now become one of the top 100 tea tourism counties in China, and has built a Wanli Tea Ceremony Museum.
Tobacco tea not only has a delicious taste and quenches thirst, but also has a wide range of anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects.
Using tea leaves that are available for one to two years, taking the blisters and letting the heat and sweat the eyes, can effectively treat conjunctivitis and keratitis.
Noodles are another specialty of Pingjiang, enjoying the reputation of Pingjiang noodles as the first in the country.
During 2000, Guo Zhenbin, then secretary of the Pingjiang County CPC Committee, asked me where the noodles were best in Pingjiang, and I said that the noodles processed in the countryside should be better than those in Chengguan.
The guests went back to eat the noodles taken from Xinxia, and many of Xu Li's colleagues at CCTV were full of praise, and they repeatedly asked Guo to buy a trustee to bring to Beijing.
One side of the landscape, one side of the landscape, one side of the folklore, one side of the story.
The young grassroots cadres of the Xinxia Village Branch Committee do not follow the trend in their work, do not look like their methods, and do not do virtual prosperity on the side of a thousand villages. Instead, he is close to the villagers, stepping on the fertile soil, sweating, refining his thinking, and striving to be the protagonist of the great changes in the mountain countryside in the field of unregretted youth.
The clean air of Xinxia, the positive progress of the people, the mutual help and friendship between neighbors, the respect and love for the elderly who pay attention to filial piety, and the harmonious and harmonious relationship between the party and the masses and the cadres and the masses are all full of vitality in the land of Xinxia.
As a village-level grassroots cadre, in his work, it is not as simple as opening his mouth, moving his legs, and waving his hand; in many cases, there are also difficult and dangerous tasks, and it is also necessary to have the wisdom to break through natural dangers, a warm and smiling face, and more importantly, it is necessary to have ideological and moral loyalty and generosity to the people, and be willing to give charity, in order to convince the masses, otherwise, the mouths of the people are a ruthless monument.
The enthusiasm for work arouses the feelings of the whole village, which is the common mood of every villager.
Xinxia people have inner family affection and externalized friendship, and dress up to become the pure beauty of Xinxia.
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the mountains are green, and the water is blue.
Beauty, in the feelings of 2,700 people in Xinxia Village, in the mountains and forests swayed by the breeze, in the never-ending rivers, in the rice fragrance of the fertile land.
This is our Xinxia Village!
