Willow on the River

Wasted Name

Father Chen has always been the liveliest person. He talks about everything from Pangu to the present when meeting people. However, in the past six months, he has always Squatting at the foot of the willow tree and looking towards the green hills opposite, I felt like a boatman checking the weather. Ask him, "Dad, are you feeling well?" He nods quickly and greets you with a smile. The reason is easy to understand, that is, the ban at the Yamen Gate also prohibits wooden opera. His father no longer has a way to make money to buy wine, and the credit debt in the hotel is being paid day by day. When you get up early in the morning, the sun seems to be a red light, shining on a willow tree that cannot be surrounded by the bridge. At the same time, what you see is the faded color of "Dongfangshuo②The sun is warm" and "Liuxiahui③The wind is harmonious". Ten big characters on the red paper - this is the hut where Mr. Chen lives. This red paper is naturally changed every year; and Wang Maocai, who lost money to the couplet that year, specially selected it for his father - his father was so proud that he paid forty cash as usual and added it to a rope. In addition, there is also the "Huixian Pavilion" as above. At the banquet, Maocai Gong talked about "the wise men in ancient times". Father Chen also thought of pawning off all his colorful clothes and gongs and drums to prevent the little guy from the hotel from causing trouble. However, the world will eventually have peace - Father Chen walked out of the hut with a groan again. "Real change! Even wooden tricks--" The sun is shining directly on the roof, and the willow shades on the water are rippling with the waves. It was early summer, and the river was clear and shallow. Dad looked straight into the sand, but couldn't see anything. However, he heard the crows and magpies making noise, and the branches reflected each other, making the layers extraordinarily dense. Dad raised his head and sang in his usual tone: "Hey, I--" The force was so great that he fell down while he was squatting. The crow was looking straight at the green leaves and blue sky, and the sunlight made his eyebrows wrinkle uncontrollably. He gradually became impatient, arched his waist, and held his knees with his hands. "Without wine for three days, I'm going to cut down my willows -" At this point, the father raised his head again: "No, you and I will live to ninety-nine, and I still have wood in the box." Then came the following: The ordinary summer afternoon, except for the gurgling water, was all lost in Dad's closed eyes. Gradually, willows began to grow in my father's heart again, but it was not the willows that stood silently and fluffyly to shade my father. They have been there for many, many years now.

In the dark night, my father came back with gongs and drums on his back, singing as he walked: "Mother hunchback won't wait for me to die. There is a lantern on the bridge, and mother hunchback illuminated it for me." The lantern was hung on the willow tree. , because my father almost fell under the bridge once, so the hunchback mother made a candle, thought about the time, lit it and hung it on the branch. From then on, Dad drank as much as he could, and the willows planted by Mother Hunchback were no longer just complaints - before, there was business twice a month, and there was no shortage, otherwise the black old bird shouldn't have called out in the early morning, "It's not your willow, Old Bird." Where will it come from? "The willows will grow more and more year after year - that lantern, didn't my father often say, but my poor mother also asked me to take it away and remember to order it back?" During the Qingming Festival, every family plants willows, and those who live in the town come to pick and break them in the evening. Dad sits on the doorstep and says: "Dense leaves are good, don't hurt the big ones--" It's a quiet night, so Dad himself breaks a branch. Come down, get up early tomorrow, wipe the table clean, split a branch into two parts, and put them next to the hunchback mother's funeral room. Of course, there are always old birds, but the business is very smooth, but the door lock has been stolen several times - needless to say, it is late to return home. What made Dad sad the most was the flood. The plum rain continued, and the river was about to flatten. My father was burning firewood in the stove, and the beach collapsed in the distance. He raised his head and listened carefully. He only heard the roar of water, but he suspected that his ears were playing tricks on him. When the rain stopped, I stepped on my wooden clogs and looked around the hut - the sand was knotted tightly by the rain, and the willow roots protruded very clearly, all the way to the cracks in the shore rocks. "It's what hunchback mother wants-" Dad stretched out his waist and crossed his arms, and his eyes, like the green hills below the sky, were immersed in mist. It was harder to fall asleep soundly than usual this night. As it got closer to midnight, I became more and more awake, so awake that I was scared! --The alarm gong sounded above the gate--Footsteps behind the house--"Dad Chen! Hurry! Hurry!" The land security guard knocked on the door. The next day, Dad stayed at the ancestral hall. Looking out from the slope, there is a vast ocean, as green and furry as a clump of reeds. Dad knows it is a willow leaf:? "My--" "Dad!--Have you slept well?--What about today?--The boss scolded I said I was just having fun!" In the afternoon, my father brought a carpenter back from the town. There was a thunderbolt, and the willow fell down. Dad looked straight into the sky, as if he had never seen such a spacious and clear sky. And the faded red paper suddenly became much brighter.
