Baishuihe prose

Baishui River is more than an hour away from Pengzhou, and further down is Yinchanggou. The 5 12 earthquake destroyed Yinchanggou, while Baishui River was being rebuilt, and the village was still surrounded by mountains. In hot summer, it's like a paradise with a pleasant climate.

Our family came here for the summer vacation, and the days here were dull and regular.

Most people wake up naturally in the morning. Occasionally crows disturb people's dreams, wake us up in the dark, then wrap themselves in the quilt and go back to sleep. Parents always get up early, and breakfast at the farmhouse is served at 7: 30 on time. My parents left us porridge, steamed bread or steamed bread, a plate of side dishes and two eggs, so that my classmates and I could have a hearty breakfast when we woke up naturally.

The Baishui River is always bright in the morning, and the medicinal material Chuanxiong planted downstairs is green and fragrant. But the surrounding mountains are foggy, either floating in the valley or flying at the top of the mountain. One day, I was driving aimlessly on the road and a mountain peak stood in front of me. Clouds of white clouds stopped quietly among the mountains. The mountain peak in front of us is like a mirage, but it is so far away. When you take a step forward, the mountain retreats and just looks at you quietly, silently, humbly and dignified. The mountain peak is not high, extending to the left and right, which looks so wide and makes people feel small.

When the sun came out, it pierced a hole in the sky through thick clouds, shining with mysterious golden light. The clouds in the mountains are still around the mountains, but they have dissipated slightly, and the dense forests on the mountains are beginning to be seen clearly. The green color of trees and shade soothes the eyes that wake up in the morning.

The built path is very clean, with two lanes, and then a bicycle lane is divided on the right. On the roadside is a field with a large area of Chuanxiong. Now is the harvest season, and piles of Chuanxiong can be seen everywhere. People pick the thin leaves, leaving branches with thick fingers, and then tie the sorted Chuanxiong into bundles, waiting for a big price.

In addition to Chuanxiong, there are purple ear cornfields. That day, the owner of our farmhouse led Rui and me to break corn and cook it for everyone at night. We shuttled through the corn forest taller than people. We broke off the full corn and put it in the laundry basket. Our arms were stained with blood by corn stalks and leaves, but we didn't know it when we first broke the corn. That dinner, we didn't even eat rice, so we chewed a few sweet and waxy corn and were satisfied.

Green beans are hung on the vine in a herringbone shape. Eggplants blossom and bear fruit in low places along the road. Pumpkin, cucumber and bitter gourd have big yellow flowers and their fruits are hidden under wide leaves. Some newly sprouted melons are like little fingers, and we watch them grow around every day.

There are also free-growing flowers at the door of every household. The most striking thing is the huge peony, which is colorful and round. Each petal unfolds around the flower heart in turn to the extreme. I always think of the round and big flowers pinned on the flag of Gege in the Qing Dynasty. The flowers are so full and huge that they hang their heads. When I lifted them, I felt as if I had lifted a beautiful face. When you face to face, that kind of surprise is not the elegance of a lady, not the shyness of a girl, but a kind of elegance that should be.

Fighting with peony, there are gardenias, white and pink; Canna is yellow or red, standing proudly; Clusters of pink roses are small flowers hugging each other; Small sunflowers are lively and active, and melon seeds are full. The most interesting thing is the wild flower named "Ye Kaimei". The yellow flower is like a trumpet, it will bloom at night, close its petals during the day and not compete with others.

In the summer of Baishui River, it is also comfortable to sleep under a quilt without air conditioning. If there is bright sunshine during the day, it will be accompanied by a gentle breeze. It rained almost every day, and it floated for a while at three or four in the afternoon, which made the ground wet. Or you can have a good time at night. There is also a thunderstorm, lightning and thunder, and thunder bursts, and lightning seems to split the surrounding peaks. But the next day, after the rain cleared, a big rainbow crossed from one end of the mountain to the other, showing the free will of nature to the fullest. If you get up early and take a walk after the rain, you can see that the spider web hanging on the melon and fruit rack has become a crystal bead chain overnight.

Baishuihe people speak a dialect similar to Chengdu dialect, with a mild tone and an end to every sentence. If yes, it is "horse". If it is in doubt, add "wow". The words before the end float up, euphemistically, and immediately make the conversation friendly. Ray is crazy about pumpkin pie made by a fat aunt. Every night, she goes to buy two, and she keeps talking to the fat aunt in front of the stall. Aunt said, "Sister, my pumpkin pie is delicious."

"Do you need two more today?"

Rui's classmates and the children in the nearby farmhouse get together every day, and they go to the ditch to have a water fight, catch cicadas through the forest, chase flower fields and vegetable fields during the day and explore wild huts at night, all of which are tanned, and Zhang Jun looks defeated. In this way, I learned Baishuihe dialect. "I'm here", a word "this", dragged back and forth for 1000 times, "I found my watch" and a word "found" were thrown up and then fell down, and a strong rustic smell came to my face.

Dogs are also an indispensable member of rural families. Dogs roam the fields during the day. When you meet your own guests walking in the village, accompany them for a walk and tell them to stop following and go home. They stopped and watched people leave. While eating, she shuttled under the table. Rui always picks up some ribs and feeds them to her. At night, the dogs go back to the nest to look after the house, and all strangers will bark when they come near.

Days flow slowly in Baishui River. Good mountains, good water and good weather, I hope to cherish this time and not think about the future.
