In the place where the peach blossoms bloomed, Zhang Baotong 2017.9.21

The village I went to the countryside is called Zhushan, and there are not many bamboos here, but there are dozens of acres of peach trees planted in the river bay area at the head of the village. Every spring in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies in the season, the peach red is full of rain, the willow green is more with spring smoke, and the peach forest by the river presents a grand scene of "the weather is new in March in the spring, and the beauties in the lake shine in spring". The spring breeze blows the peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms exude bursts of fragrance; the delicate petals, the graceful flower shape, and the tender yellow stamens make each peach blossom so red and so bright. These pink, crimson, and light purple peach blossoms look so bright and beautiful against the backdrop of verdant green leaves. If you look at it from a distance, those peach blossoms are all pink, a sea of pink flowers, and the wind smells a burst of fragrance.

Our village is located on the edge of the Luo River, which is a tributary of the Miluo River. The Miluo River is beautiful, and the Luo River is more beautiful than the Miluo River. The northern Hunan region is a hilly area, and the Luojiang River comes from countless hills and valleys all the way, flows slowly in front of our village, and merges with the Mijiang River 20 miles away to form the Miluo River.

The commune where we are located is a place where beautiful women are produced, and if you walk down Miluo Street and see beautiful women, there is a good chance that they will marry from here. And our sister in Zhushan is famous for the whole commune. Therefore, I often compare the beautiful girls in the team with the peach blossoms in front of the village, and use the poem "The peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red" to explain the relationship between them.

There is a very beautiful girl in the village, and I can still remember her name, Xu Yunxiu. At that time, she was only seventeen years old, and she was very delicate and beautiful, even more vivid and beautiful than the whole peach blossom beauty at the head of the village. She's the most beautiful and innocent girl I've ever seen. Originally, her parents asked someone to find her a young man who worked in the county seat. However, she fell in love with a young man from Changsha.

I haven't seen that Changsha educated youth, and when I left the team, he had already recruited workers and returned to the city. But I've seen Xu Yunxiu, she's in our team, and the two teams are actually close together, also called Zhushan. Even so, I rarely saw her. I heard that she was seriously stimulated and had a very bad reputation, so her parents generally did not let her go out or participate in the team's labor. I've heard her story many times because everyone on the team tells her story.

The general plot of the story goes like this. Changsha educated youth called Shi Wenjie, at the age of sixteen went to the countryside to Zhushan, and in the fourth year, that is, at the age of twenty, there was still no sign of recruitment. We have paddy fields over there, and we go to the fields every day before dawn and don't finish until it gets dark at night, and the work is very hard. Therefore, Shi Wenjie, who is a little lonely and pessimistic, often sits by the peach forest at night and plays the harmonica. The harmonica sound is very euphemistic and sad, so it touched Xu Yunxiu's heartstrings. At that time, Xu Yunxiu was still a broadcaster at the brigade headquarters, and he often went to Taolin after dinner to watch the scenery and take a walk. So, the two young hearts slowly leaned together.

I am also an educated youth, so I can naturally understand Shi Wenjie's feelings. He must know that as an educated youth, he can't fall in love with a country girl. This is a matter of principle. Because you have to leave for a long time, and you can't take other people's girls away, so you can't fall in love with other people's girls. Maybe he's already pessimistic, maybe he can't bear it anymore, maybe that girl is too delicate and beautiful, so he can't give up. Moreover, as Xu Yunxiu also made the same mistake, she should know that the educated youth will return to the city sooner or later, and it is impossible for her to return to the city with others. However, knowing that it was a fire, she had to jump into it.

Hearing that Xu Yunxiu and Shi Wenjie were in love, her parents, relatives and villagers tried their best to dissuade her from contacting Shi Wenjie, and her father even locked her in the house, and her mother stayed by her side all day long. However, it still can't stop the two young people from loving each other. In order to show her deep affection and love for Shi Wenjie, in order to stay with Shi Wenjie, and in order to resist the brutal obstruction of her parents, she drank pesticides and was carried to the commune health center to rescue her. This frightened her parents and others no longer dared to stop her. So, she and Shi Wenjie stayed together all day and had two abortions for this.

Just when the two of them loved each other to death and never gave up, a year later, Shi Wenjie's father's unit came to recruit workers and took him away. The two lovers hugged and cried before leaving, like life and death. Shi Wenjie swore to Xu Yunxiu that he would live and die with her and love her for the rest of his life. And Xu Yunxiu and Shi Wenjie said goodbye with tears and sent each other for ten miles. The tragic scene made many people cry emotionally. However, after Shi Wenjie left, he never came back. Xu Yunxiu is looking forward to it day and night, haggard alone, miserable and miserable.

When I met Xu Yunxiu, that Shi Wenjie had been gone for more than two years. Xu Yunxiu is no longer in the team headquarters. One evening after the rain, at dusk and twilight, the remnant sun was like blood, I was watching the peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest, a familiar girl came from the forest, she was wearing a half-worn red shirt, blue pants, white plastic shoes, and two long braids. The outfit is simple and refreshing, but the appearance is very landmark and beautiful. Although I didn't know her very well, from her sad and melancholy eyes, I could guess that she was Xu Yunxiu. Despite this tragedy, she is still the most beautiful girl in Zhushan.

She walked up to me and said to me, "Are you a new educated young man?" I nodded, and said that you are the most delicate Yun girl in Zhushan? She smiled indifferently and said, "What is the use of being beautiful, you can only have a thin life." Just like the peach blossoms on this tree, it looks good, but when it rains, it falls red all over the ground.

Listening to her words, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: this country girl could say such a thing. She said that I graduated from high school and usually likes to read. However, it was the things in the book that made me fall into evil and betray the world. Speaking of this, she sighed deeply.

I knew that she was here to relive the old dream and look for the lost memories, so I said to her, Xiu girl, you are too simple, as simple as a peach blossom in the rain. She asked me, is it stupid to be a simple person? I said I don't mean that, but to say that people who are too simple will be fooled. But she said that I was not deceived, and I was willing to do some of it. Hearing this, I was very surprised, and felt that this girl was really a little unbelievably innocent, no wonder she would suffer such a tragedy. However, I also admit that such a girl is really cute, and if I were that Shi Wenjie, I would marry her as a wife anyway.

Although Xu Yunxiu had this kind of thing and had two abortions, she was still the most beautiful girl in the commune, and there were still many people who came to ask for relatives and matchmakers, and there were even cadres of the commune and employees in the county. However, she refused to marry and rejected all matchmakers. People say that she is too stupid, too stupid, and she is still thinking about the Changsha educated youth in her heart. Therefore, everyone said that she was unreasonable, and some people said that her nerves were stimulated and her mind was a little abnormal.

After spring, the peach blossoms are gone, and they begin to bear many small fruits. I still often take a walk in the peach grove after dinner to watch the scenery. However, every time I come here, I think of that beautiful Yun girl, and I feel that this girl is really a pity and a pity. Thinking like this, I can't help but think of the poem by Cui Hu of the Tang Dynasty: "In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the human face were red; "Yes, the wind and rain are merciless, not only destroying peach blossoms, but also destroying people's hearts.

Five years after I left the countryside, I am now a secondary school teacher. In March, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, I went to Guangzhou for a training session, and when I returned to Xi'an, I stayed in Miluo for two days to ride a bicycle to see the peach blossoms. While watching the peach blossoms, I asked my friend who was already the village chief about Xu Yunxiu. He said that the year before last, that Shi Wenjie graduated from college and came here to visit Xu Yunxiu, he originally thought that Xu Yunxiu must be married and started a family, but when he saw that Xu Yunxiu was still waiting for him, he was so moved that he cried on the spot. He stayed in the team for one day, and the next day he took Cui Wenxiu to Shenzhen, because Shenzhen had already implemented reform and opening up at that time, and Xu Yunxiu was also assigned a job in Shenzhen. During the Chinese New Year this year, Xu Yunxiu came back with her child. People not only look lively and foreign, but also look more beautiful. Therefore, the people in the village said that she was so blessed.

Listening to this story, and then watching the peach blossom scene, I feel that the peach blossoms in front of me are like a thousand trees in spring, with thousands of pink clouds, charming and charming, and infinitely gorgeous. The beauty of peach blossoms is often described as an amorous woman, and the scarlet of peach blossoms is often described as a beautiful love story. And Xu Yunxiu's love story adds a lot of color to the beauty of the peach blossoms after the rain, I thought like this, and I couldn't help reciting the song "Peach Blossom Order": "The spring outside the peach blossom window is warm, and the morning makeup is lazy inside the peach blossom curtain." The peach blossom curtain outside the window is inside, and people are not far from the peach blossoms. The peach blossom curtain is still open, and the people in the curtain are more beautiful than the peach blossoms. The flowers are clear and soft, and the wind blows through the broken branches of the curtains. ”
