Shan ju shan hang zhi

About eight years ago, one day in late autumn, I took the shuttle bus to Great Peace because I missed my son, and my wife went to work. In the world of singing and dancing, taking a bus has always been a terrible thing for me. In the worst case, I will vomit and diarrhea, and I have to get off and walk. Once I went to Huaihua from Yuanling, and this happened when the car passed Maxipu. Finally I returned halfway and walked home for 5 hours. Although it wasn't that serious this time, I still chose to get off and walk when there were still more than ten miles from my destination. Green mountains and green waters, chickens crow and dogs crow. Autumn is crisp and sunny. The breeze is refreshing. For me, as soon as I get off the bus, I'll go directly from the eighteen layers of hell to the celestial world. Picture description

The place where I got off is called Shuijiaping, and the highway is next to the big stream. Listening to the cock crow, my heart is full of joy. Following the crow, there are several families in under the greenwood tree across the stream. The best food in the country is the pheasant raised in this sparsely populated place. This kind of chicken eats insects and eats grass, and the soup is the most delicious in the world, with unparalleled nutritional value. I have eaten all kinds of delicacies, and no one can surpass this chicken soup. This is my favorite. So I went to the countryside to buy everywhere, to be exact! Because of the serious urbanization, fewer and fewer farmers go to work in cities, and it is naturally more and more difficult to buy this kind of chicken. Picture description

There is a path down the river by the roadside, and few people seem to walk. The river is very clear and shallow, and many small fish swim in the air. These little creatures are very lovely and enviable. They are carefree and free all day. Groups of mandarin ducks are playing in the water. Away from the noise of the city, away from the troubles of fame and fortune. There is no confusion, and there is no complicated form. Not like I'm waiting to live. A small wooden bridge was built on the river with stones, which was very close to the water surface, almost close to the water surface, and only one person was allowed to cross. The wood is tied to the stone with wire to prevent it from being washed away by the rising water. When the water rises, you can't cross it. The beach is wider than the water and there are clean pebbles everywhere. On the shore is a row of unknown trees, which play a role in protecting the river bank. There are several hill-like paddy fields on the shore, and I met a woman on the stalk. He looked at me curiously, perhaps because few outsiders came here. I asked him if he had any chickens or eggs to sell at home. She didn't answer me, but asked me if I was a bad person and said that she had never seen me. It makes me laugh and cry. If I am a bad person, will I tell you that I am a bad person? I said I am a teacher at school, but my wife is a teacher. I want to buy some chickens or eggs. She said that chickens are not grown up and will be sold at the end of the year, but there are a few ducks to sell. I asked several other families and there was no chicken to sell, so I had to buy a duck. Her ducks grew up in rice fields, and the quality is definitely not bad, not as good as the ducks in the city, but much worse than the pheasants. This woman is pure and kind, and her business is fair. When catching ducks, she doesn't like some people to sprinkle some food before catching them. But directly grasp, when weighing, I don't like some people to press the scale very low. She is the only one at home, her daughter is married, and her son is not satisfied with working outside. Sometimes he asks for money from home. Talking about her son makes her a little sad, and her daughter is very sensible. The two old people all depend on her filial piety, and the mobile phone was bought by her daughter, and the telephone bill was also paid by her daughter. Instead of farming, the two old people planted a little corn and sweet potatoes. I don't understand why we don't grow some rice. It turned out that her man was in poor health for many years and could not do heavy work. I used to work in the purchasing station in the town, but later I went home after I closed down. There is no source of income at home, and the family is surrounded. She was embarrassed to say that her house was broken and rotten, so she sat outside. This situation in her family also makes me a little sad. I said I've covered all your chickens and ducks. You can send them to school to find a teacher, or I can do it myself. I asked for her phone number and told her to call her first in case she was not at home next time. Because she can't change money, there are still dozens of dollars left. I said keep the change, but she was in no hurry. I have to say that next time I pay for the chicken, she will agree. When she left, she said I was a good person and was wrong about me.

I put a rope around the duck's leg and drove the duck to school along the road with a rope in my hand. Ducks are very uncooperative and always look at the grass on the roadside. This is really called driving ducks to the shelves. Maybe it knows that this is a road of no return. But what can we do? This is its fate. When you grow up and gain weight, it will become a delicious food in people's mouths, and your own destiny is in the hands of others. If you are a self-reliant wild duck, your fate will naturally be different. You can fly freely in the sky and despise everything. Just like those big bosses in today's society: Ren, Ma, Ma Yun, Liu and so on.

In a blink of an eye, winter has arrived. I originally opened a design institute in the city, because the nanny broke her leg when I came back from playing mahjong at night, so I tore down the store of the design institute, made designs in my own home, and looked after my son by the way. After breakfast, I took my son for a walk on the highway. Suddenly I met the woman who bought chicken last time and the man who came home from the market. I didn't notice. She greeted me first and asked me why I didn't buy a chicken, saying that the chicken had grown up. Watch your son talk big, be good. I said I would go there, and she said I would take it to the next market. Ask her how many? She said two. I said, then, then take two tablets.

Five days later, in the early morning, we didn't get up. Someone called Mr. Pan downstairs. It turns out that this lady came to the market. She came early and was inseparable from her wife and husband and wife. Carrying two chickens, saying that they are two black-bone chickens, a few pounds and two pounds, told me to calculate for myself, saying that she would not settle accounts. As soon as I worked it out, he said that you scholars worked it out. What's the problem? An outspoken lady.

Killing two chickens is very pleasant. Fat, it's already laying eggs. Black skin, black bones. Very authentic black-bone chicken. This is my first time to buy black-bone chicken in the mountains. Its nutritional value is better than that of other pheasants, and it is comparable to that of thousand-year-old ginseng. There is not much food in the stomach pouch, which shows that this lady has a good personality. Because this lady is so simple and kind, it causes me a little sadness. I remembered a Tang poem: I entered the market yesterday and came back with tears in my eyes. All over Luo Qi are not silkworm farmers. Silkworms can't afford silk clothes, and pheasants can't afford pheasants. However, the lady came back from the market with a smile instead of tears. Although her man is in poor health and can't afford to treat her man, every time I see her, she is all smiles, and I haven't seen her complain much about life. Her family situation can also be seen from the clothes worn by her husband. She wore an old yellow uniform similar to a military uniform, but it didn't rot. It should be more than ten years. It seems that every time I see them, they are wearing this dress. This optimistic and strong attitude towards life can't help but make me respect. What is happiness? Isn't that the couple? Isn't it this kind of caring for each other, sharing weal and woe, holding hands with * * * through thick and thin, and growing old together? Those people who sleep in easy virtue, which is fickle on Jinshan and Yinshan? The answer is of course no, they will never know what happiness is. Because happiness and money are not necessarily related.

At that time, my mother starved to death. I can't bear to eat or wear when I am alive. I got stomach cancer before I died, but I couldn't eat it. In my dream, I said I was eating and there was no salt in the cabbage. Although I am not rich now, I have delicious food, which is unambiguous. Just buy it, and I don't feel bad. I couldn't buy a local pig last year, so I bought a cow directly in my hometown and killed it. Fried Chili with beef jerky is also a classic food. As for other expenses, I don't care about any famous cars, watches and mobile phone coats. As long as the mobile phone can make calls. As long as the clothes are not rotten, I can wear them./kloc-clothes above 0/8 degrees are poor, whether they are hot or cold. On the one hand, sweating is uncomfortable, on the other hand, it is difficult to wash clothes. On the other hand, I have a very strong body because I often exercise. With my strong physique, I can objectively lead people to exercise, enhance people's physique, improve people's quality of life and reduce the medical burden of the country and people. I pay attention to pragmatism and hate formalism. A considerable number of people in the world are what Liu Bowen said: gold is on the outside, but gold is on the inside. Some people can't afford to buy a car when they see others buying it, so they have to borrow money to buy it. I bought it for no practical purpose, just to keep up with the joneses and satisfy my vanity. Let yourself bear great pressure, face up to death and suffer! Another example is American imperialism, which flaunts how rich, strong, democratic and perfect it is all day! Actually, I'm BiaoZⅰ, and the thief shouted to catch the thief! I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, just export arms and profit from it. Diligence, courtesy, loyalty and filial piety. It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. It is also the foundation for the survival, development and growth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it should continue to be carried forward.

Because this pheasant grows slowly, the growth cycle is almost one year, and it is not easy to survive. A nest of more than a dozen chickens, only three or four when they grow up. So I only buy three or four chickens from him every year. Although chickens are expensive to sell, chicken farmers have no profit. Fortunately, those who are safe are reluctant to eat, and whoever sells chicken will give it to me. I also looked for chickens and eggs everywhere. Even so, it is still far from meeting the needs of my family. It's good to buy two or three a month. Chickens are not satisfied, and eggs are naturally not enough. Where did you get eggs without chickens? But you can still buy dozens occasionally. Now, my wife has been admitted to the county seat, and a pheasant can't buy an egg. I don't know whether working in the city is a good thing or a bad thing. It's hard to decide.

A year later, my son was two and a half years old. Another late autumn, I took my son and walked to her to buy chickens. The son came to the small wooden bridge on the river and looked at the small fish in the water. He is too happy to go. If I say you don't leave, the chicken will be taken away by others, and you won't be able to eat chicken legs. Son, come with me. Walking into the field, I suddenly saw two big cocks fighting for a small snake as big as a chopstick in the newly harvested late rice field. Two big cocks are extremely strong, and the little snake is as poor as a bug. The first time I saw a rooster eating a snake, the scene shocked me very much. No wonder pheasants have such high nutritional value. So they all eat these things. I immediately picked up my son for fear that a snake would emerge from the grass. At the same time, I am full of deep respect and love for these two big cocks. I must find a way to buy them. Small harvesters are harvesting late rice in the hilly land ahead. This woman happened to be on the edge of the field. She is picking up the ears of rice leaked from the harvester. Just like when we were young, she picked up these ears of rice and fed them to chickens. When she saw my son and me, she greeted me warmly and said, "Good baby, you are here." . At the same time, she was a little embarrassed, saying that she was old and useless, so she could only pick up some ears of rice and feed them to the chickens. I said it was good, but it was a pity to waste it. Picture description

The rooster ate the snake.

Son who grew up eating pheasants. Awesome!

She took us home on the ridge, and we didn't pick up the ears of rice. After greeting the chicken, I began to catch the chicken with a chicken cover. The cock that caught the snake also caught a hen. Leaving four hens laying eggs and another rooster to sow seeds for next year's breeding, she will kill one herself during the New Year. His daughter won't come back years ago, and she can sell me one during the Spring Festival. Because if my daughter came back years ago, she would definitely kill the chicken to entertain her daughter. What a simple lady. Although I bought it with money, I am still grateful. Of course, I packed her eggs and told her to eat more of these mountain eggs, which have good nutritional value. She took out her treasured chestnuts and entertained my son and me. Chestnuts are dry and sweet, but my son ate one and vomited another inexplicably. The lady laughed at her son and said that the chestnuts she had worked so hard to find in the thorn cage were really unfair. I bought chicken, too. I urged my son to go home. But he refused to leave. Madame joked that it was her grandson, okay? The son actually said, "You just have a son in your belly." We all burst into laughter.

In the twelfth month of winter vacation, our family also went back to their hometown in the county for the New Year. Two days before the Chinese New Year, I received a phone call from her, saying that her daughter would not come back and she could give me a chicken. I'm glad there are pheasants to eat during the Spring Festival. The next day, she put the chicken on the bus to the county seat. This woman is like her own family, but I can't help her. Later, the government engaged in precise poverty alleviation, so I entrusted a classmate who worked in the government to take care of this family. Although I won't say it, the government will naturally take care of her family.

Another year has passed, and it is another late autumn. My son and I went to her house to catch two black-bone chickens that laid eggs. The son who grew up eating pheasants is handsome, healthy and smart. This time he remembered the lady and called his grandparents. Called the two old people laughed, full of good baby barked. I think these two old people have long wanted to have grandchildren, but their son didn't meet expectations. Maybe you can't blame his son for his incompetence, because sometimes people's fate is not in their own hands, as if it had been predestined. No matter how hard you try, it is always difficult to get what you want. Just as Wang Bo, a gifted scholar in the Tang Dynasty, said: Fate is doomed. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a master; It's time to escape to the corner of Honglianghai. Everything is timely, lucky and fateful. Before 20 10, I went to work every year and worked for ten years, but I still couldn't afford a house. 20 10 turned around this year. /kloc-structural engineer in September of 0/8. /kloc-in September of 0/9, my son took root and sprouted. From then on, I stayed at home and made more money every day. I can earn as much money as others earn a month. I got married at the age of 33, raised my son at the age of 36 and raised my daughter at the age of 44. Take one's own daughter for example. Others think she is a father and grandson. Neither my parents nor my relatives have seen their grandson. I have an old cousin, my aunt's son, who lives in the Zongta Formation in Shanziya, a neighboring village. We have been in frequent contact since childhood and have a good relationship. 1998 When I was working in the county seat, I had a strange dream that he and his wife had an accident riding a motorcycle, and his wife died on the spot. I feel very strange, how can I have such a dream? He is as poor as me and can't even find a girlfriend. I didn't take it seriously and didn't tell anyone. Is it not just a dream? However, ten years later, it happened miraculously. After hearing the news, I suddenly remembered this dream ten years ago and was amazed. This year, two old people raised a pig, and she said she could sell me half of it. I am naturally very happy. However, by the end of the year, things had changed. When I called this woman to buy meat, she said meat was not for sale. Listening to her voice is not the same as usual, a little sad, as if she had encountered something difficult, but I can't ask more. Finally, she said, I have to come. I hung up with a lot of doubts and had to give up. I didn't know the truth until many years later. One of my neighbors in the county is from the same village as her, and once I talked about this family. He said that he knew her. Her man was in poor health and the conditions at home were not so good. As the Spring Festival approached that year, he passed away. It turns out that she didn't sell me meat in those days, but wanted to give her man a funeral. When I called her at that time, her man was dying. After all, I am an outsider, and she can't tell me such a sad thing.

Another year passed and her phone was disconnected. I have never seen her at the town fair. I didn't go to her either. Yuan Haowen has a famous saying: Ask how the world is, and call it a commitment to life and death. This is a true story told by Yuan Haowen, a gifted scholar in the Yuan Dynasty. On his way to Beijing to catch the exam, he saw a lonely swallow. Because the hunter caught its companion, the swallow lost her companion and died. Deeply moved, Yuan Haowen bought the two geese and buried them together, and built a grave and a monument. A wife without a partner is like a lonely goose. In the dead of night, she can only sleep with a lonely lamp.

A few years later. My wife passed the public examination and entered the county seat. Our family also lived in the county seat, and we have never been to Taiping again, and we have never heard from her. I wonder how she is now. I hope she is safe and healthy, as optimistic and strong as before.
