Me and my hometown

My hometown is a small mountain village in Nanyue Hengshan, and as a representative of the five mountains, our village is also beautiful and picturesque.

Our village is called Wenqiao Village, the tributaries of the Xiang River meander through the village, like a broad arm guarding the mountain village, the river near the farmland position planted a large lotus root, the lotus blossom season the whole village can smell the fragrance of lotus; in the middle is a large area of farmland of different heights, in the spring there are full of golden rape flowers of different shapes, from a distance it looks like Tetris, houses are built on the mountain, staggered, but to say the landmark, or the stone bridge connecting the two villages.

I don't know the age of the stone bridge, only that the bridge has been repaired for many years as soon as I was born, it is a five-hole stone bridge, the bridge is not very high to link the two villages of the dike, several times when the water was flooded, but after the tide is still standing, this bridge is our only way to go to elementary school, junior high school, but also the road to study for generations.

In the spring, many people like to fish under the bridge hole, there is no sun under the bridge, sometimes they are tired of playing, they will also lie down on this side for a while; at dusk we like to look at the scenery on the bridge; the sunset of the burning clouds is like a blushing face, hitting the sparkling river, the lotus leaves in early spring are like turquoise jade plates, the spring breeze blows from the river, the warmth carries the fragrance of rape flowers, the peach blossoms on the mountain, the plum blossoms have just bloomed pink and white, just like landscape paintings, but at that time, mobile phones, cameras are not yet popular, There's no way to keep that beautiful picture.

In the summer, the small bridge is our swimming base, the summer river is clear to the bottom, the fine sand at the bottom of the river and the small fish and crabs are cleaned and visible, the bridge deck is about 2 meters high from the river surface, at that time our favorite time is to imitate, the divers in the Olympic Games jumped down from the bridge, happy, every time we go to the river to swim we can spend a few hours at night, and then the adults repeatedly urged to go home reluctantly.

......

Now the stone bridge is too short to prevent floods, and the age is too long, has been built on the side of the new bridge, the stone bridge pier is covered with green moss left by the blisters, from time to time there will still be children to play on it, but it is no longer as prosperous as it was then.
