Chen Hui said: "Not necessarily, maybe the water level has dropped and dried up, and this side may be a big tributary." It turns out that in history, the Taizi River is a serious river, not smaller than the Yangtze River, but not as deep and long as the Yangtze River. ”

Xiaowei said: "I don't understand the difference between a river and a river, and the Yellow River is big enough, why is it called a river?"

Chen Hui thought for a while and said: "It seems to be divided according to the estuary, the one that enters the open sea and ocean is called a river, and the one that flows into the inland sea or a large lake is called a river, and there is no strict difference, that is, it is customary to call it since ancient times, but generally speaking, the water flow of the river is larger than that of the river." ”

Xiao Wei said: "Not necessarily, the Hunhe River is bigger than many rivers in China, and the Yellow River is smaller than the Yangtze River? The Ussuri River and the Taizi River are about the same, but they are not as big as the Liao River." ”

Chen Hui patted his lips and said: "What do you call it if you love it, who knows how it was called in the first place, when you find a chance to go back to ancient times and ask, just come back and tell me." ”

The three girls in the back laughed, and Xiaohong said: "You two are so funny, there is nothing worth saying about this, it's just a name, anyway, it's flowing fresh water, and the rivers in many places are called casually, Qinghai Lake is also called the sea, what's the difference, that is, the habit of geographical dialects." It's like the Datong River, it's called the River, right? But the songs that sing it are all about the Great River, who said it was wrong?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Which river is the Datong River?

Xiaohong cleared her throat and sang: "A big river has wide waves, the wind blows the rice and flowers on both banks, and my family lives on the shore." ”

Chen Xiao said: "Oh, this song, where is it sung? Where is Datong River? Hey, don't say it, I never thought about where this song is." ”

Xiaohong said: "The Taedong River, the mother river of the Korean people, passes through the city of Pyongyang. ”

Chen Hui said: "Isn't it? I remember that I seem to have seen some interviews, and the old man Qiao who wrote this song said that it was the Yangtze River, but he said that it was better to use the river, and every Chinese had a river in their hearts." ”

Xiaohong said: "First, the reporter asked, Qiao Lao just said that when he wrote this lyrics, he saw the Yangtze River for the first time and was touched. Second, this song is a Korean song during the Korean War, as well as Yingshan Red and Bitter Cauliflower are very famous, equivalent to our home on the Songhua River in Northeast China, it was adapted and changed the lyrics into Chinese, and the translation is basically the original meaning. ”

Chen Xiao opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Is it? not the song of our country?"

Xiaohong said: "Propaganda is needed, and political correctness must be made in that period." In fact, it turned out that many of our songs at that time were taken from others, and the Soviet Union had the most, anyway, there were no patents and copyrights at that time, everyone was a country of the socialist camp, and communism was mutually beneficial. ”

Xiaowei said: "Don't talk nonsense, nonsense. ”

Xiaohong snorted and stopped squeaking.

The car circled around the mountains for dozens of minutes, and finally saw a village in the distance, Xiaohong said: "It's here, it's here." ”

Xiao Wei looked at the village that was getting closer and closer, Guo She took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "This is our village. ”

The car was parked on the barren dam in front of Xiaowei's yard.

Everyone got out of the car, Xiaowei looked left and right and said: "The eldest brother and his family are really diligent people, this is a lot of land, I remember that this piece is much bigger than now, and it is sandwiched into it and planted." ”

Xiaohong looked around with wide eyes and said, "I don't know, I remember that there is no vegetable field in front of your house." ”

Xiaowei glanced at her and said, "You remember when we were ten years old, right?"

Xiaohong pouted and thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be." I don't go to school. ”

Chen Xiao pulled Xiaohong and asked, "Where is your home?"

Xiaohong pointed to the front and said: "That's it, it's already someone else's house, the house is for my uncle, and my uncle will sell it when it's over, this old thing, take my family's things and sell them for money." After saying that, he laughed first.

Xiaowei smiled and said, "You have the ability to say it in front of our uncle." People have built new houses, and the old ones can't be sold?"

Xiaohong glanced over there, took a breath and said, "But that's my childhood memory, I can't even look at it now, do you think the hole we picked when we were children is still there?"

Xiaowei twitched his face and said, "How do I know where to go, what hole I picked up?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Haha, I heard that you two were enough when you were young." ”

Xiaohong smiled and said: "I have no one to play, so I have to drag him every day, his eldest brother is too old to play with us, and the little soldier is too small at that time." I instructed him to do both of us, and I tore out the kang wall of my house that day, haha. ”

Xiaowei thought for a while and said, "Ah, there is this, I also asked my dad to cut it, you ran away." ”

A man in the distance wearing a straw hat and looking for a hoe came over: "Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Wei turned his head to look over, and said with a smile: "Big brother, go to the ground." ”

Xiaohong clasped her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Wang, Wang." It was Xiaowei's eldest brother Zhang Wang, who scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, still so naughty." I thought it was someone from somewhere, these two big sedan chairs. Come into the house, why did you get there?"

Xiaowei introduced: "This is my brother, Zhang Wang, this is Xia Maosheng, and this is his daughter-in-law Geng Hui." This is Chen Hui, this is his daughter-in-law Chen Xiao, we have just arrived, I will go back to the county to do some errands, and come back by the way to see, now the family is very good?"

Zhang Wang went over to open the courtyard door and said, "It's good, the land has been planted, and there's nothing to do.

Xiaowei said: "No, I just came back to see, I haven't been back for a long time." After finishing to see Xiaohong, her grandmother went back, there is still something to do over there. ”

A few people entered the yard, a big dog ran over and sniffed one by one, the chickens walked in the yard, the pigs hummed in the pen, the goose craned its neck to patrol the territory, the ducks generally can't see, they don't know where to run to play in the water, and they will come back at night.

Xiao Wei looked at the yard and asked, "You have turned over a lot of land, can you two plant it?" Don't be too tired. ”

Zhang Wang put the hoe away, took off the clothes on his body and hung them under the eaves, patted the ashes on his body and said: "Where can I be tired, a few hoes, what is tiring about growing vegetables, my second uncle is tired of cutting rice, our family doesn't plant that kind of play now, there is no paddy field." "There are not many paddy fields here, and when the river was quite large, it was a collective field, and then when the production was distributed to the households, there were no more acres of paddy fields.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Wang's daughter-in-law poked her head out to look, Zhang Wang said, "Xiaowei and Xiaohong are back, have you made dinner?"

Xiaowei called his sister-in-law a few times, and Zhang Wang's daughter-in-law shyly agreed, and said to Zhang Wang: "Why don't you say it in advance, there is no meat at home." ”
