I haven't returned to my hometown for 15 years, and it is a blind date ...... close to the Yangtze River, mountains, water, rich land, and simplicity and kindness, people are in the field, and their hearts are still concerned about the place where the teenager lives! From time to time, there is information about the changes in the hometown and countryside, but it is only information, and the memory is still stuck in 15 years ago! My hometown is a village close to the countryside, next to the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and the Yangtze River flows through the ...... doorstep.
The child has a winter vacation, and the parents go back in advance to prepare, and the agreed hometown for the New Year this year.
The train started, the children cheered, but my heart was apprehensive, uneasy, expectant and timid, is the village I familiar with still like that?
Get off at the high-speed rail station near the county, there are 40 miles of road to reach the hometown, this is the fastest distance, although there are 400 kilometers, the actual time is only about 2 hours, the online car-hailing sister keeps introducing 4-6 roads, 2 high-speed, 3-4 national highways, and there is only one pothole old road in memory!
The 3-hour drive in my memory only took 50 minutes, and the scene outside the window along the way, the once dilapidated countryside has been renewed!
The villagers are timid, and there is a trace of panic, I am afraid that I will not recognize the villagers, and I wonder if the villagers will be as enthusiastic and simple as before? I didn't find a familiar intersection, so I didn't stop until I exceeded 200 meters! As soon as I got out of the car, an old man on the road tentatively called out my nickname, stunned for a few seconds, vaguely recognized the former neighbor, tried to ask and got affirmation, a sense of familiarity, a nostalgia let me enter the touch, or a familiar taste!
The old father appeared on the side of the road, and his heart gradually regained his calm, that is my mountain! The drop-off point is only 300 meters away from the way home, but my family and I walked for an hour, my father gently reminded me who the person I met was, the previous clear memory and the existing changes in the comparison, gradually identified one by one, one by one, handed cigarettes, emotion, these are the neighbors who watched me grow up, and the nostalgia was even stronger in an instant!
After returning home for a while, I was so anxious that under the leadership of my old father, I began to walk to every piece of land in the family, every road in the village, the Yangtze River in my memory, the front and back of the house, the creek culvert, the changes in every house in the village, and the once familiar people who worked hard in the field!
The muddy paths have turned into large roads or stone paths, quiet and far-reaching; The Yangtze River has been closed to fishing for 20 years, and groups of dozens of catties of big fish are visible to the naked eye; There are fewer and fewer people working in agriculture, and most of the land was turned into orchards 10 years ago; In the distance, the once-bare mountains are now lush and green; With the reduction of personnel cultivation and the protection of the ecology of the Yangtze River, there are more bamboo forests, taller trees, and dense ...... of river grass along the Yangtze RiverFoxes, monkeys, water birds, and all kinds of birds, which I had never seen since I was a child, also came to ......, there are fewer people but full of life!
Every house is already a building, natural gas, running water, and solar street lamps cover the whole village, and there is no cooking smoke! The children are all reading, and there is only one child studying in the local primary school, and there is no children's frolic and reading sound, only quiet old people! Except for the occasional bird and dog call, there is hardly any sound here, a kind of natural tranquility!
The countryside at night is no longer like before working until dark, the rest are old people, physically exhausted, basically eat at 5 o'clock, and then go from house to house to chat, go home at 7 o'clock to wash and sleep! Many familiar old people have passed away, and they can only regret and sigh, and the next time they come back, I don't know which old man will return! The winter sky is still full of stars, and I haven't seen it in years!
I haven't come back for 15 years, my choice is to chat from house to house, chat a few during the day, string a few doors at night, and some of them get together to chat, you can chat together, you can also be in the hall, you can also be dam, you can also be under the eaves, there is no taboo here, as if there is no distance, no rustiness, very casual and casual, everything is according to the heart, very cordial, as if back to the past!
The countryside is quiet and simple, and you will naturally blend in here! The heart is naturally ethereal, the brain is also ethereal, reluctant to think of any troubles, and unwilling to touch some of the mobile phone, for fear of losing this peaceful beauty! How I wish I could keep this beauty all the time, but life needs to be rushed, and the children have to start school ......!
15 days later, the train started, and the beautiful countryside slowly went away, so I could only choose to give up and wait for the next thought to return home!
The countryside is very beautiful, and what is even more beautiful is the expectation, the tranquility, and the nostalgia!
