Sanya, a beach at sunset
I. Shan
After dinner and a stroll by the sea, it is the most relaxing time of the day.
At this time, in the direction of the western bay, the sky and the earth were red. The sun was going down, burning for a whole day, but still unfinished, and at the moment of falling into the mountain, a dazzling light suddenly burst out - a blazing mushroom auspicious cloud rose from the top of the mountain, and the water surface in the bay also reflected two jumping white balls. After a while, the white mushroom clouds and orbs disappeared, and the clouds in the sky conjured up dazzling gold, one by one, thick or lightly sprinkled on the dark blue sky; The beach has also turned bronze, shimmering in the silence of dusk, luxurious and understated; However, the rolling valley in the distance has darkened, the faint houses in the coconut grove have gradually darkened, and the tourists on the beach are also like silhouetted images, frozen together on the resplendent and colorful picture in front of them.
Beach at sunset, peaceful and beautiful. The waves from the distant sky, layer by layer, rush ashore, dragging arcs on the beach, as if recording a mysterious text. The waves receded, and little white or colorful things moved on the fine sand in the shallow water, bent down and looked down, oh, it's a little conch! Round and conical, conch has feet, and the two small antennae that walk fast are their feet.

At this time, collecting shellfish on the beach is very rewarding: in addition to small conch, the most is the fan-shaped small shell, although small, but different colors and shapes. On the surface of the shell, there are markings, which are the marks of time! I don't know, how many years will this beautiful marking, the waves and sand wash? I don't understand, what kind of mind will be contained in the empty shell of each shell? Let's take it home and string it up! Hanging around the neck, gently moving the footsteps, the sound of rustling, is it not the eyewitnesses of these seas telling their stories?
There are 2 strong men dragging fishing nets, slowly walking towards the depths of the sea, the sunset reflecting their bronzed skin, this is the legendary man who chased the sea, right? It is not only men who work, on the beach, from time to time they will encounter some women in black turbans, some with shovels and plastic barrels, bending down in search of conch shells hidden in sand holes; Yes, fruit and pearl necklaces are peddled by the sea. They are generally not tall, with a tall figure and delicate facial features. It is said that these are the Hui people of Sanya, their ancestors, Persians, Arabs, and Vietnamese Cham residents who converted to Islam, as early as five or six hundred years ago, drifted from the sea to the coast of Hainan Island, most of them settled in Sanya, in this beautiful and rich seaside life, work, nature, but also become a beautiful scenery of this golden beach.
The sea is never calm. Even in the evening after a sunny day, the waves will still lap on the beach, making a "boom-boom" sound, but this voice is soft and calm, like a warm man, singing a lingering love song to his lover.

I walked tiredly, randomly found a beach chair under a mushroom umbrella, brushed off the sand grains on it, lay down gently, squinted, listened to the shallow singing of the sea and whispered, sleepy, sneaked up...
The charcoal aroma of barbecue wafted in the air, stimulating my taste buds, and when I opened my eyes, only the last red glow remained - the sky was dark. By the sea, one light after another is lit, and there are many pink plastic chairs on the beach; Flowing karaoke speakers, playing rhythmic and bright music; The beach bar of the roadside cottage has gradually increased the number of guests.
- The night market has begun!

Chapter 18: Pan Yumei returns
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the instructor's wife Pan Yumei returned from her hometown in Shandong, and the first to visit was company commander Yang Tietou.
As soon as he entered the house, Yang Fan, the eldest daughter of instructor Yang Yanchao, quickly ran to the arms of company commander Yang Tietou and cried out sweetly: "Uncle is good." ”
Company commander Yang Tietou bent down to pick up Xiao Yang Fan and asked, "Do you miss your uncle?" "Think!" Yang Fan replied sweetly.
"Where do you miss Uncle?" "Here." Yang Fan patted his small chest
"Okay, I want uncle, uncle will send you ten yuan to press the year." Company commander Yang Tietou said, taking out ten yuan from his pocket.
"The year is over, and what money is still paid." The instructor's wife, Pan Yumei, said on the side.
"After the New Year, I have to make up for the money, does Yang Li miss uncle?" Saying that, the company commander Yang Tietou pulled Yang Li into his arms.
"Think!" Yang Li's speech was still a little unclear.
"Where do you miss Uncle?"
"Here." Yang Li said, pointing to her mouth.
"Mouth miss uncle? Sister is thinking uncle, you are thinking uncle with your mouth, well, thinking about uncle with your mouth, and your uncle also sends you ten yuan in crushing money. Is hometown good? Company commander Yang Tietou then asked. It's not good, let my sister go back to my hometown in the future, I will never go back. ”
"Why?" Company commander Yang Tietou asked puzzled.
"Frozen like a turtle grandson."
"Does Grandpa like you?"
"Like, we went back, grandpa killed a chicken for us, ate food, grandpa took me and my sister to the street to buy a piece of cloth and make a new dress."
"Grandma likes you guys or not."
"I don't like it, grandpa said to buy clothes for me and my sister, grandma said to give her mother a hand, grandpa said, rip, you have money you pull, grandma said that you lack virtue light called you old Yang family to give birth to a girl, you see, isn't this clearly dislike me and my sister?"
"Does Grandpa like you?"
"Don't like it!"
"Why don't you like it?"

"We went to my grandfather's house with my mother, and my grandmother asked my mother, when did you get home?" Mom said morning. Grandma asked if she went back to your house, and when Grandma asked, my mother burst into tears. At this time, grandpa lost his temper, yelled at his mother loudly, and cried! Cry! What are you crying about, something that doesn't come out!
Grandma said: "The girl's big way back, just arrived home, what are you talking about, my granddaughter is so old, and said that Chen Sesame is indiscriminate, what is the use?" "My grandfather lost his temper with my grandmother again, they are all good daughters you raised. Grandma retorted: "The girl I raised, it's not good to send you pocket money every month, you raise a good son, how much pocket money do you give you all year round?" Then, my grandmother ordered my grandfather: "Go!" Go cut a piece of meat in the street! After my grandfather left, my grandmother asked my mother: "Where to work, my mother said, in Xinjiang, the victory in the twelve points of the twelve consecutive games." Grandma asked what to do? Mom said that he worked as an instructor in the 12th Company, and I was a doctor in the Company.
After hearing this, my grandmother said, "You are still in the middle of school, you have become officials, are you angry?" Mom said, not angry, the two of us have never blushed. Grandma said, it's not easy for a family to live, don't be angry, in a few days you still have to go back to the old Yang family, you are from the old Yang family, you can't be wrong to listen to your mother's words. In the evening, my grandmother gave us steamed bread and stewed a pot of vermicelli, cabbage, tofu, and meat. The sister and brother of my uncle's family and the sister and brother of my aunt's family came to my grandmother's house, and when they saw the oil buns, they rushed to take them one by one like bandits. Grandma slapped them on the head and said, "This is for your sister, you can't eat it, you eat sweet potatoes." It is not easy for them to come back from thousands of miles and hundreds of miles. The sisters and brothers did not listen to their grandmother's set at all, and they robbed the oil bun by dividing it by two. They all like to eat oil buns, in fact, I think sweet potatoes are better than oil buns. ”
"Grandma likes you guys or not."
"I don't seem to like it either"
"Why?"
"It's almost the New Year, my grandmother has to ask my mother to go to my grandfather's house, and my mother just won't go." Grandpa said that if he didn't want to go back, forget it, then let's celebrate the New Year here. Grandma said, that's not a mile, are you willing to let your daughter celebrate the New Year here, is the old Yang family willing? Besides, there are girls who go out to celebrate the New Year at their mother's house. In the end, it was my aunt who made a round and said, let my sister be with me, the two sisters have not seen each other for several years, and they have a good spray together.

While sleeping, my aunt asked my mother if Xinjiang was okay. My mother said that there are few people in Xinjiang, from all over the world, and there are people from all over the country, and the most are Henan people. The aunt asked her mother again, did your brother-in-law treat you well? Mom said it was nice. The aunt asked my mother if my brother-in-law was angry with you, and my mother said that she had never been angry. The aunt asked again, which of you two is in charge? Mom said that your brother-in-law doesn't even know how much he pays a month. The aunt said, sister, you are really blessed.
Then, the aunt asked her mother mysteriously: "Sister, did my brother-in-law fancy you, or did you fancy my brother-in-law?" Mom said: "If both parties like it, it is called love, if one party likes it and the other party does not like it, can it be called love?" Can you live well? To be honest, the main thing is that I like your brother-in-law, haven't you heard people say, women chase men, a layer of yarn, men chase women, a layer of mountains. "My aunt asked my mother again, why do you like my brother-in-law?" My mother said: It was when I was in high school, because your brother-in-law's village is close to our village, every time we came back from school and went to school, your brother-in-law called me. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I also want him to call me, and I want him to call me. Because, I feel with him, I have a sense of security. Moreover, I found that your brother-in-law is very solid and has no bad intentions. My aunt asked my mother: How did you find out that my sister and wife are real? Good heart?
My mother said, "Once, your brother-in-law and I went to school and walked halfway there, and at that time, before dawn, I wanted to relieve my hands, so I told your brother-in-law that if you go ahead, I will relieve my hands." Who knew that your brother-in-law really walked forward stupidly, I called him, what are you doing so fast? Your brother-in-law said, didn't you tell me to go? I said, I told you to go, you will go, wow, you just stand in front of me and don't look at me! You said your brother-in-law was really untrue. My aunt asked my mother again, if my brother-in-law had treated you at that time, would you resist or not? Mom said, if it was really your brother-in-law who wanted to do that to me, I would not resist because I liked your brother-in-law.
At this time, the aunt and mother discussed and said, thinking of coming here, the mother said, Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from here, unlike the hometown, it is only three or five miles to walk a relative, you should consider it. My mother asked my aunt again: What is the relationship between our family and my father-in-law's family now? My aunt said to my mother: Don't mention it, after you and your brother-in-law left, my cousin ran to our village and made a big fuss, saying that you abducted my brother-in-law. He also said a lot of ugly things, and the people in our village saw that he was old and did not see him in general. A few elderly people also persuaded my cousin to say, go back, you make trouble like this, why will you leave your relatives in the future. Cousin Li said, who gave you a relative, your surname is Pan, and you are also worthy of being related to the family surnamed Yang? The people in our village really couldn't stand it, so they beat my cousin. After the cousin returned, their Yang family came with hundreds of people, all with iron bodies and shovels. Fortunately, the people in the village came in time, otherwise something big would have happened.

After this happened, when the township commissioner Xu came to ask what the reason was, my cousin had to ask my uncle to hand over my brother-in-law. Commissioner Xu said: Old man, you are unreasonable, people did not ask you for a girl, but you beat a rake and asked people to raise grandchildren. Besides, two big living people can still evaporate on the earth, and there will always be a time when water falls out, so go back. The Yang family knew their own loss and went back. Since then, the two have heard each other and have not interacted with each other.
I heard that when my cousin was seriously ill, my cousin proposed to let my brother-in-law come back once, and my cousin was silent for a while, and asked my cousin: Do you want Yanchao to come back to see your old man? My cousin listened: Bah! A mouthful of phlegm was spat on the face of the cousin. No descendants! You have sons like that, I don't have grandchildren like that. It may be that the condition is serious, or it may be that my cousin is still worried about the beating, too angry, not long after, my cousin passed away, and my mother sighed softly after hearing this.
"Uncle, I have a new discovery in my hometown."
"What did you find?" Company Commander Yang Tietou asked in surprise.
"I found that my grandfather and grandpa had a common hobby, which was when we ate, we sat on a stool and smoked with a dry tobacco bag. Wait until we have eaten before eating. ”
"That's your grandfather who is reluctant to eat, so let's eat it first." Company commander Yang Tietou said with a sigh.
"Uncle, I have another discovery." Yang Fan said to company commander Yang Tietou again.
"What's new for you?"
"I found my grandfather and grandfather like enemies."
"What evidence do you have?"
Once, when it was about to celebrate the New Year, my grandfather sent us the finished clothes, and my grandfather saw my grandfather and said, "Oh! The in-laws are here, sit on the stool. Grandpa didn't even look at Grandpa. Grandpa said, the clothes are ready, come over, put them on and try them on to see if they fit. Saying that, Grandpa pulled me up and put the clothes on me, saying that it fits. After putting my sister's clothes on, I hugged my sister and then pulled me up and said, "Go, go home with grandpa." "My mother dragged me over at once, and Grandpa put my sister down and walked away in an imposing manner. Grandma chased after her and told her grandfather, the girl is not sensible, you should not be familiar with her, let her grandfather lead their mother back in two days.

After my grandmother came back, she complained to my grandfather: "My in-laws are here, why don't you say hello?" "What's the greeting, the Pan family is not five feet shorter than their Yang family, why give him the surname Yang three and four?" Grandpa righteously replied. Grandma said, people often say that relatives are not more than five volts, and enemies are not more than three generations, you are good, hundreds of years of hatred still remember. At this time, I only listened to the instructor's wife Pan Yumei said: "Don't talk nonsense with your uncle, I'll talk to your uncle about business." Iron head, you are also in your twenties, and the boss is not small, it is time to start a family. ”
"What a family, isn't this quite good, one person is full and the family is not hungry." Company commander Yang Tietou said disdainfully.
"Men should marry, women should marry, are there so many female Shanghai young women in our company, and none of them you fancy?" The instructor's wife, Pan Yumei, asked in a tentative tone.
"Young women in Shanghai are from big cities, and there are cultural people, I can't read a liter of words, do you think my water can afford to raise such a big fish as others?" Company commander Yang Tietou replied with inferiority.
"It's still iron-headed and assertive, and my sister-in-law also feels that those Shanghai youths are unreliable, and there is a chance that my sister-in-law will find one for you." The instructor's wife, Pan Yumei, said confidently.
At this time, Pan Yumei now had a mind to introduce her sister Pan Yuqin to Yang Tietou, intending to test his reaction again.

Father's hard years
The second generation of military reclamation
Chapter Seven, I went to school
On September 1, 1976, under my father's strict management, I became a first-grade student at Company Elementary School. My father gave me a simple goal, first place, all 100 points. Finish the third grade in the first grade. One less point per exam, 10 strokes, and so on. When I touched the palm of my hand and looked at him, I found that there was no smile on my father's serious face. I remember when I went back to Shanghai not long ago to see my grandparents, my grandfather was always smiling, smiling so kindly. And the father's face is like a grandmother...
After his parents left Shanghai for Xinjiang in 64, they never returned to Shanghai until the policy allowed it in 76 to visit their relatives. I remember my father's excited look when he took the visit approval form, which I couldn't understand at that time. When our family of four returned to our hometown in Shanghai after a week's long journey, my father knelt in front of my grandfather and cried. Grandpa pulled us up one by one and said with a grin: Just come back! Just come back! And grandma stood by with an expressionless face. That time back to Shanghai, there was not much impression, I only remember that my father took us to the City God Temple, and Xiaohei's brother, we went to Hangzhou Sixth Uncle's house to play together, and met my sister-in-law and uncle who had fled back to Shanghai.
But one thing will never forget: one day, my father gave me a dime to buy my favorite snacks at the small shop in Nongtangkou, and I only spent 2 cents to buy a pack of plums. When I went back and gave him the remaining 8 cents, he slapped him. Listen to him say angrily: what is the use, the money will not be spent. Then, with tears in my eyes, I ordered to spend the rest of the money.
This is my first memory of Shanghai, very bad, but the delicacy made by my grandmother is engraved in my heart.
After I went to elementary school, the former cultural education of the company was transferred to the regiment middle school as a teacher. On his recommendation, his father took over the cultural and educational work. My father touched my head and said, "Son, you have to go to school well, so you won't have to farm in the future."

Every day after school, I was still locked up at home by my father to study, but my heart flew in the beautiful fields outside...
My mother saw me pitiful and asked my neighbor's puppy brother to bring me a dove cub. My little dog brother taught me to feed the little thing that didn't have a few hard hairs and was black and not slippery with soaked wheat. Every morning, before and after school, I would feed it, open its mouth with my hands, and feed it mouth to mouth, until its bulging little belly rose before stopping. Under my careful feeding, the little one quickly grew a feather, which was very beautiful. Gray-red feathers with a ring of glitter glowing green on the neck and white and black highlights. As soon as I walked into the house where it was staying, the little one came to me with his wings flashing, jumped on my hands and shoulders, and gently pecked my hands and ears with its pointy little mouth. When the father saw this scene, he showed a rare smile and said: This child has love, and a turtledove can be raised like this, it is not easy.
But the good times did not last long. One day when he came back from school, the little one suddenly flared his wings. Inciting and instigating, it flew. It flew first onto the beam of the shed and then out of the door. I immediately chased it out and found it flying on the roof. I thought, is this little guy leaving me? I burst into tears. The brother Xuejun next door saw me crying, so he said to help me get it back, and then climbed from the back of the house to the roof. However, when we got on the roof, the little one once again spread his wings and flew high, flying very high, leaving only a small point... I came down from the roof and stood in front of my house and cried looking at the sky.
After a while, my mother came back, saw me crying, and asked me to go back to my homework. But I don't want to go back, I don't want my little one. I don't know who told my mother on the side that I climbed on the roof to catch the turtledove, and my mother became angry and began to scold me for not being dead and not understanding. At this moment, a familiar figure landed beside me, and the little one flew back. Just as I was happy to take it in my arms, my mother rushed over and grabbed the little one and threw it the ground. The little one flipped twice on the ground and stopped moving. I cried again, lay down next to the little one, and touched it, hoping that it would come back to life. But it would never move again, and before he died, he looked at me, and his black eyes were full of indescribable regret...
When my father came back, he told his mother, and his mother argued: You beat him hard! My father replied to her: I hit him for his own good, and you hurt him by doing that.
(Author's Heart: For children's education, scolding is not the greatest harm. Unjustifiably taking a child's favorite is the real harm. ）
1976 was a terrible year. Several great people in their hearts passed away one after another, and the atmosphere of the farm suddenly became tense. I remember very well that at the memorial service of the chairman, many uncles and aunts cried bitterly, and some passed out at that time.
(Image: Source Network)
In front of the chairman's hall, two heavily armed militia fighters, armed with submachine guns, stood straight there. Everyone from adults to children went in one by one to mourn the chairman and his old man's home. At that time, people were all saddened by the death of the president. Because in their hearts, the most important person in their heart is lost, the loss of the spiritual pillar, is more terrible than the loss of their own life ...
The structure of the corps is very special, and the staff of the corps can carry a gun at any time to become a soldier. In those days, every company had an arsenal, and during that time, my father carried guns to duty, patrolled, and sometimes, did not return home at night.
In the middle of the night, my father was carried back. His father had a high fever and his mother asked him what was going on? My father was silent, and I could probably feel the pain of the death of the chairman because they hadn't seen them play cards or drink for a long time. All the adults did not laugh, and the children were not allowed to laugh ...
I still go to school and leave school every day, go back again and again with a 100-point paper to pay the bill, and be beaten into bread again and again because I didn't get a full score. The head teacher, Teacher Yuqing, went to his father more than once to quarrel because of this. I don't care about that, and sometimes I cry when I think of the little dove. My mother said to me: Son, when it's hot, grab one for me ...

A camp plate with fragrant date flowers
Liu Gebin
A river, between the Tian Shan Valley
Gather and head to Taklamakan
A place called the "Sea of Death"
It turns its gaze when it gazes
Stubbornly looked at the riverbed and sighed
A unit will be numbered with the flag
Insert here - Aral
Get up the horn and wake up the dawn
The camp where the medal was laid
The dinner plate is full of wind and sand
This is the most cruel natural ecological environment
However, the soldiers here can not only carry guns
It can also turn a flooded land into an oasis of life
(Image: Source Network)
Pioneering, in order to survive
When the ploughshares are embedded in the sand
Dreams begin to sprout and grow
Only the towering poplars
Shielded a group of military reclamation men
An unbearable past
Praise is a spirit
Character is the unyielding faith of pioneers
The genes of the 359 brigade
It is the wind bone of this hot land

Love is born from the heart
(Outer one)
Li Yonghong
Look at the small fish swimming in the fish tank
Feed them a spoonful of fish
The fish are scrambling
Make water ripples
How many fish there are
I haven't counted
I just want them to live well
Instead of dying in despair in ice
I remember passing by the big pool when I went to work in the summer
See schools of colorful fish
Swim around freely
I can't help but move with the fish
Stop and watch
That loving young civil servant
When you are careful, leave the bun for breakfast
What is sprinkled is their favorite food
You rob me and eat with great pleasure
The autumn breeze is chilling
The wind blows the surface of the water and waves on the surface
When the fish swim slowly in the water
I hope for the wisp of noon
Warm sunshine
(Image: Source Network)
When winter came quietly overnight
I suddenly noticed that the koi in the pool was missing
They were fished out of a fish pond in a greenhouse for the winter
Leave a school of small fish
Hiding alone in the corner by the wall
In the early morning, the fish pond is covered with a thin layer of ice
When the afternoon sun passes, it melts
But such a time is short
Fish will face the harsh onset of ice
Save them, my heart
I moved, holding the small fishing net
Fished them into the kegs one by one
Bring it back to my warm home
Let them also have a warm winter

April wind
April is the season to sow hope
When the warm sun shines on the earth
A gentle breeze blows the willows
The trees were dressed in green
Peach blossoms blushed the girl's beautiful face
The frequent visitor in April in Xinjiang is the wind
Eccentric temperament, moody
When the frenzied wind swept the yellow sand
When it rained long
Whistling roar
It was a maniacal laugh of fear
Whenever this weather comes
The trees meet the challenge of the wind
The birds hide in their nests in horror
But busy people are in the fields
Use soil to suppress the mulch film that has been lifted by the strong wind
The heart silently and constantly protested against the wind
(Image: Source Network)
When strong winds sweep
A phenomenon that scares you
All around, there was a yellow mist
The mulch film that had just been sown in the cotton field turned up in white waves
Cotton seedlings under the raging wind
Moaning in despair
The appearance of moist eye sockets
At that time, the mood of the disaster fell into a low ebb
This is the real Xinjiang season
In April, it is the home of the windy performance
Only poplar colonies, firmly entrenched
Blocking the wind with all his might
Even if it is cut off
The hope of guarding the farmhouse will never change
(Image: Source Network)
I admire the upright poplar
No fear of rain, snow, wind and frost, flying sand and stones
Planting trees and taking responsibility with actions
Cohesion to protect the home of the oasis
