My hometown is an ordinary small village, the people in the village are very affectionate, and the neighbors are like a family. Everyone cares about each other and helps each other when they are in trouble. I grew up in this village and am familiar with everything here.
My name is Zhang Xiaoming and I am 25 years old. Since my family's financial conditions were not very good, I went out to work after graduating from high school. Although life in other places has been hard in the past few years, I have been working hard to earn money in the hope of improving the living conditions of my family.
I haven't been back for about five years, but this time I can finally return to my familiar hometown. As soon as the train came into the station, I couldn't wait to get out of the train and take a deep breath of the country air. Ah, the smell is so familiar! I carried my suitcase and walked down the path to my home.
On the way, some neighbors greeted me happily when they saw me: "Hey, Xiao Ming, you're back!" Xiao Ming, if you're back, your family must be very happy, right?" I smiled and nodded, my heart warm.
As I walked, I saw a familiar figure walking across from me. It's Grandma Li, she's from our village, and it's only a path away from my house. Grandma Li was holding a bag in her hand and greeted me when she saw me.
"Hey, Xiao Ming, it's back!" Grandma Li greeted warmly.
"Hello grandma, yes, I'm glad to be back. I laughed.
I looked at Grandma Li with some doubts, she is in her seventies this year, her health is not very good, and her son usually takes care of her. I don't know what she's going to ask for this time.
"What's the matter, grandma. I asked politely.
I looked at Grandma Li's kind face, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth in my heart. Grandma Li has been a hardworking and kind person since she was a child, and when she was young, her family was poor, and she supported her family with her own hands. At that time, the conditions were so poor that she often couldn't even eat a full meal. Even so, she never complains and remains optimistic.
Later, Grandma Li married my uncle, and they worked hard together to finally live a well-off life. But the good times didn't last long, my uncle died of illness, and Grandma Li was alone in charge of the family. She never asks for money from others, preferring to work on her own to earn money rather than be a burden to others.
When I was a child, Grandma Li always cared for and cared for me. Every time I go to her house, she carefully prepares a variety of snacks to entertain me. Although her family was not well-off, she never spared in her love for me. Perhaps, in her heart, I am like her own grandson.
Hometown is like a warm haven for me, and no matter how far I go, I will eventually come back here. My parents are very old and I hope to see them again in my lifetime. And elders like Grandma Li also made me feel the warmth of home.
I have always been a very filial child, and I was taught from a young age to respect my elders and care for others. My ability is limited right now, but I'm willing to do my part to help the people around me. Seeing an old man like Grandma Li having to work on his own, my heart was very unbearable.
I took a deep breath and said to Grandma Li, "Grandma, it's nothing, I'll help you take it back." "
Grandma Li looked very happy and nodded again and again: "That's great, thank you so much Xiao Ming!"
I smiled and took the bag, it was heavy and stuffed with vegetables and fruits. I said to my family, "Mom and Dad, I'll go and help Grandma Li with one thing first, and I'll be back in a while." "
When my parents saw that I was so filial, they didn't say much, and nodded and motioned for me to go. I picked up the bag and walked along the path with Grandma Li.
"Thank you Xiao Ming, this bag is really not light. Grandma Li said as she walked, her face full of apologies.
I smiled and shook my head: "What's this, I'm young and strong, grandma, you don't have to worry." "
I was deeply moved by my grandmother's words, and my eyes moistened. I patted her on the back and comforted her gently: "Grandma, don't worry, if there is anything in the future, I will do my best." "
Grandma burst into tears and smiled, and a kind look reappeared on her face. We continued on our way, without saying a word. I could feel the joy in my grandmother's heart, she was like a child, and she was gradually unable to keep up with me.
In this way, we quickly walked to the door of Grandma Li's house. I put the heavy bag down and patted my aching arm for a long sigh of relief.
"Xiao Ming, you can rest here first, grandma go and open the door. Grandma Li said, walking to the door.
"Grandma, are you alright?" I was terrified and hurried to check on her. I saw Grandma Li lying there, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be in terrible pain.
I was so anxious that I quickly picked up Grandma Li and asked her to sit down against the wall. At this time, several nearby neighbors had noticed the movement here and rushed over one after another.
"What's going on? Grandma Li, are you okay?"
"Quick, get out of the way, I'll call an ambulance!"
"Don't worry, let's see where grandma is injured first. "
For a while, everyone was talking about it. I quickly calmed everyone down and asked one of the young men to call an ambulance first.
I quickly crouched down and carefully examined her leg, and sure enough, there was a red and swollen bulge, which looked like a fracture. My heart sank all at once, and if I did break my bones, it would be troublesome.
At this moment, a neighbor suddenly said: "I have a pair of crutches at home, Grandma Li, you hold on first, and then go to the hospital for examination when the ambulance comes." "
"Yes, we're here to help!" Others have also expressed their willingness to help.
With the presence of these warm-hearted neighbors, my heart is finally much more at ease. Everyone, you and I said a word, and quickly helped Grandma Li up, helped her back home, and bandaged her injuries briefly.
After seeing Grandma Li settle down, my mood finally calmed down. I deeply felt the warmth and simplicity unique to this countryside.
Although the conditions are difficult, the love of the villagers is so strong. In the face of neighbors in difficulty, everyone is always so enthusiastic and helpful. This spirit of mutual help is the most valuable aspect of rural culture.
I sat silently on the sidelines, feeling mixed feelings in my heart. As a young person who goes out to work, I have also seen the indifference and alienation between people in the city. But in this village, the relationship between people is so close, like a family. Without the presence of these enthusiastic neighbors, I am afraid that I would not have been able to cope with the unexpected situation just now.
Soon after, an ambulance arrived. After careful examination by several medical staff, it was confirmed that Grandma Li's leg was fractured and she needed to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible.
Watching Grandma Li being lifted into the ambulance, my heart was mixed. If it weren't for my request, she wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. I felt so guilty that tears rolled in my eyes.
At this moment, Grandma Li suddenly stopped me, she looked at me, and said kindly: "Xiao Ming, it's not your fault, it's grandma herself who is too old and has inconvenient legs and feet." I'm so content that you can be so considerate of your grandmother. Don't blame yourself, be filial to your parents. "
Hearing my grandmother's words, my heart was filled with a warm current. Yes, all I do is to do a filial piety, which is my duty. Although Grandma Li suffered this catastrophe, she did not blame me, but comforted and encouraged me. I admire this generosity.
In this way, Grandma Li was sent to the county hospital for treatment. Although the fracture is not too serious, she is old after all, and I am afraid that she will have to recuperate for a long time.
After the operation, Grandma Li specially asked me to come to the hospital to see her. When I walked into the room, she was sitting on the bed looking at me with a smile.
"Xiao Ming, come and sit. She said, motioning for me to sit down in a chair beside the bed.
I hurriedly stepped forward and sat down cautiously, for fear that one would accidentally hurt her again. Seeing this, Grandma Li couldn't help laughing.
"You, like a child, what are you doing so carefully?" She said gently, "Grandma has something to say to you. "
I held my breath and waited for her command. I saw Grandma Li take out a delicate box from the pillow and carefully open it, and inside was an embroidered scarf woven of brocade.
"This was hand-embroidered by my grandmother when she was young, and it has always been treasured as an ancestral treasure. Grandma Li said, "You are filial and kind, you are a good child, grandma will give it to you." I wish you all the best in the future and a bright future!"
I was so surprised that I waved my hand again and again: "I don't dare to ask for such a valuable thing!"
"Take it, just take it as grandma's blessing to you. "Grandma Li insisted on letting me take it.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to solemnly take the brocade embroidered scarf. Looking at the exquisite embroidery pattern, my heart is extremely grateful.
Out of the hospital, I walked alone on the country road. With the sun shining brightly and the breeze gentle, this familiar rural landscape makes me feel extremely calm.
I am reminded of the time I left my hometown many years ago, with the desire to change my fate. But after this experience, I found that my attachment to this land came back to me.
Here are my dear parents, villagers who care about me, and kind and amiable elders like Grandma Li. I used to pursue money and status outside, but now that I think about it, these are not as good as the warmth and happiness that my hometown has given me.
Yes, I decided, I want to stay here, be filial to my parents, and repay the land that raised me. When I told my parents and friends in the village about this decision, they were all relieved.
And just like that, I started a new life. During the day, he worked in the fields, and at night he chatted with his parents. Occasionally, on weekends, I would visit Grandma Li and chat with her to relieve her boredom.
Whenever I rub that embroidered brocade scarf, I think of Grandma Li's words of blessing. Yes, I want to take root in this land and repay everything here with filial piety and kindness.
More than five years have passed since I left the city, and I am fully immersed in the life of the countryside. At first, I was a little uncomfortable, but gradually I realized that this was my true home.
When I work in the fields, I am always fascinated by the scenery of the countryside. The waves of golden wheat rise and fall in the wind, and the fresh vegetables bloom in the sun. In the distance are rolling hills, verdant. Between heaven and earth, the fragrance of earth fills the air.
At noon, the three of us would return home, and my mother would prepare authentic farmhouse dishes for us. The fragrant rice, with fresh seasonal vegetables and a few drops of sesame oil, is so pure and delicious, it makes people have an endless aftertaste.
After lunch, we'll take a nap. Mom and Dad are old and always nap quickly. I, on the other hand, would walk around the village alone, chatting with a few old fellows once in a while.
In the evening, the sun slowly sinks in the west, and the beautiful sunset on the horizon colors the whole village is dyed in warm colors. At this time, my father would lead us to the small river at the entrance of the village to fish. The pool of turquoise water is like a mirror, reflecting the thousands of waves in the sky.
We just sat quietly on the shore, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves will float on the surface of the river, hover on the surface of the water for a while, and then be swept away by the slight ripples. At this point, my heart will become very calm, and all my worries will be swept away.
And just like that, year after year. My life is simple, but it's also very fulfilling. And Grandma Li's embroidered brocade scarf has always been cherished by me as her blessing and expectation.
Whenever I wear that scarf, I am reminded of what my grandmother said to me: "May you have all the best in the future!" Yes, I want to spend my life fulfilling this expectation of my grandmother.
Not long ago, I received the exciting news that a new primary school was going to be built in the village, and I was recommended by the village committee to be the principal of this school.
For me, a rural boy with a high school education, it was an unexpected thing to be able to take on the position of principal. However, the leaders of the village committee gave me very high praise and expectations.
"Xiao Ming, you are a good young man who is filial and kind, and you also have a lot of experience in education. Our whole village is counting on you to set a good example for our next generation. "
In the face of such a heavy trust, although I feel pressure, it is more of a sense of mission and responsibility. Yes, I want to create a good environment for the children in my hometown to grow up and receive a high-quality education here.
In this way, with the support and expectations of the whole village, I officially embarked on the road of teaching and educating people. Although I was a little scrambling at first, I never gave up my passion for this career.
I often think of the teachers in the village when I was a child, and they passed on their knowledge to us with patience and love. And now, like them, I want to pass on all my wisdom and kindness to these children.
The days passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, I had been teaching at this primary school for more than five years. In the past five years, my hometown has also undergone tremendous changes.
The government has strongly supported rural development, and the roads in our village have become smoother and wider, and the houses have been renovated. Many young people have also returned to their hometowns to contribute to the construction of their hometowns.
Now, the campus is full of laughter. Children frolic on the playground and concentrate on learning in the classroom. And I, like a kind elder, always watch their every move and guide them to grow with my own wisdom.
Grandma Li often said that children are the hope of their hometown. Yes, these children are the future of our hometown. As long as we water them with love, we will be able to let them thrive and bring new vitality to their hometown in the future.
When night falls, I stand on campus, gazing at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight is like a mother's hand, caressing the earth gently. In this tranquility, my heart will be filled with anticipation for the future.
Yes, I want to work hard with my whole life to pass on this love for my hometown to every child. Only in this way can our hometown develop sustainably and move towards a better tomorrow.
Let me continue to move forward on this road of the child, hold up the hope of my hometown with my own hands, and add more shade and vitality to her!
