This year, during the Qingming Festival, I tore away the indelible pain and returned to my hometown.
The small mountain village of his hometown has been swallowed up by the coal mine with an annual output of 10 million tons, and a thick round coal pipe winds horizontally on the opposite beam, like a giant reckless sucking the milk of his hometown day and night. The villagers have moved to Shenmu New Village, which is full of high-rise buildings, and the black eyes of the abandoned hometown are innocently looking at the sun and the moon.
I waded through waist-deep dead grass, from the head of the village to the end of the village, going from house to house to trace the memories of my childhood.
When Yang Po passed through the fence and shone into the chicken coop of the old aunt's house, there was a proud and loud coo, so that the old girl who had never seen the light could be accurately relieved that the first egg of the day was laid by her white breasted hooded henIn order to forgive the dried cranberry pieces in my uncle's granary, I have to pay the price of running N legs in the upper and lower courtyards.
The neatness of the neighbor's grandmother's house, just as she dipped her mouth into oily black hair, the silk is tied, and the ornaments on the table are a row of neat jars sawn from the kvass bottles of the pasture with hemp rope, inserted with colorful plastic fake flowers, bright and clean loess courtyard wall roots, pumpkin vines are leisurely, grow as long as they want, and the pumpkin lying between the green melon vines has left many nail marks that have tested its ripeness.
After the first rain in early spring, the land is soft, the mountain beams are happy, the grass sprouts sharp buds, the peach blossoms are pink all over the mountains, the grandfather takes a vigorous step, in order to avoid the whole village of this group of gluttonous kittens, from the small dun to the bean land bay, from the apricot tree stone bank to the abbot Fangqitai, investigate all the ravines and ravines, looking for an absolutely secret feng shui treasure land to plant watermelons, but when his melon vines first bloom the first flower and leaf to distinguish that it is a watermelon seedling, the friends will keep the open secret, thankfully see the grandfather go to the camp his melon field, the largest watermelon in the melon field is still white gray, has been quietly buried in the ground by the friends to mature。 Grandpa never had a chance to taste his first watermelon with red sand.
On the first day of school, I came back from school, and I didn't even know what the surname of the only teacher in the school's compound class was, and I happened to meet the majestic brother who had been in junior high school in other places, and he was a symbol of "learning" in my mindI blurted out: 5!He slapped the door of my brain, which was so wide that I could run a horse, and said, "It's smart!."Without waiting for his "Ming" word to come out, I ran away, I was afraid that he would take the test again, because this 5 was obtained by me.
Because I left my hometown when I was a teenager, I only vaguely remember that every house was behind the door of a square radio, a wire connected to the ground, watered, every dinner time can hear "Xianmuxian radio station now start broadcasting", later after going to school, it should be "Shenmu County radio station now start broadcasting", Lu Chengshu's radio signal is the best, I listened to the children's FM for the first time in his house "tick tick, small speaker began to broadcast......”
The land-buying uncle drove him to the smallest mule after the dissolution of the agricultural cooperative, sat on the wheels like a soft mat, and pursued his famous saying: "I am bright and bright, I wear badly, walk slowly, and eat eggs and cook at home."
Grandpa Zongtian is a celebrity in the village, will plan to plate, his hair is full of stories, in the off-season, his family is surrounded by friends who come to learn abacus, during the break, his story will always start from "Fox Spirit": "The door is tied to the door post, the pot brush is full of ......, you open the door to your mother.""Ending with "Half a Cimiculum Seed Falling into the Country".
Aunt Erying's big water apricot now makes me salivate, no matter which basket she uses as a mark, she can't stop her friends from chasing apricots.
When he was young, he went to Inner Mongolia to work as a shepherd, he was the only person in the village who could speak Mongolian, everyone called him "Old Mongolian", he was as kind and kind as the Mongols, and he had never seen him angry.
Kuanyunlao is the first batch of young people in the village to make money, in the early month of the year, when the white vapor of every household carries the aroma of steamed buns, tofu, steamed cakes, and croquettes to the window, the outflow of Kuanyunlao wears a yellow jacket similar to a military uniform with four pockets, and walks into the village with a majestic spirit, and the twenty "black sand felts" in the pocket of the heart's coat on the left are about to come out, and the envious gaze of the whole village makes his nose wrinkled and his smile is more bright and amiable.
Cui Wagu's hard-working and hard-working village is invincible, when there is only a faint light in the eastern sky, the rooster flutters its wings in the chicken coop, pulls its throat suddenly, and makes the first loud dawn sound, she has a piece of "Marshal Huang", carrying a can of rice soup appeared in the field, sighing the strength of genes, her hardships and diligence are all inherited to her cousin Fennan, and no one in the village wants to chop grass and find vegetables with her, because it is only her company.
Uncle Guosheng is a well-known righteous person in the village, like the current moral model, who has a deviation in behavior, the older generation will say, look at the Guosheng!
My uncle-in-law and father are the only two families in the village, and they are also the two brightest families in the village, I always feel that our two families are living in a competition, my watch, car, sewing machine, semiconductor radio, black and white TV, artificial leather spring sofa, large dressing mirror cabinet with a full moon, rice and white noodles in the urn, as well as the polyester, polyester card, elastic nil on my body, will soon show up in his house one by one.
Grandpa Jimai's house has always been a neighbor of my house, and every time I think of him, there is always a warm current passing through my heart. Chicken buy grandpa is tall, wide body, big face, straight nose bridge, nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose and wrinkles at the corners of the mouth are connected, and the signs of aging have been removed.
The green tendons on his neck snaked to his jaw, and his ears were crowded with dark folds. He always exudes the kindness and harmony of his elders, he has no culture, but he has sincere feelings, open-mindedness, and his image in my mind will always be tall and solemn!
The last family at the end of the village is the party secretary, the party secretary is our ten miles and eight towns to talk about the ability of the grandfather Yongchang, he often loosely draped a sheepskin coat, never put his arms into the sleeve tube, from time to time shrug his shoulders to send, his coat is upside down, Suddenly appeared on important occasions in the village: the rostrum of the venue, the main post of the red and white affairs, his authority not only comes from his refined language, shrewd mind, but also from his eyes and breathing, he is the first leader image in my childhood memory.
From the head of the village to the end of the village, in my deep and shallow memory, my hometown should be the warmth on the backs of my grandparents, the gathering on the Yanglu after dinner, the sunset of the relatives returning from labor in Heitutai, the big red couplet on both sides of the double door for the New Year and the warm wine in front of the red clay stove, and the sour jujube ...... that has just touched a touch of sweetness between the lips and teeth of the brain
But my hometown is empty, only the coal cart, the wind, the wild grass, and my footprints.
