We are in the north of the county, a family surnamed Xu, rented a house as a "new house" to live, the owner is a Langzhong, is also a neighbor of my original hometown, Mrs. Xu is also very good, when my mother is at home, the two old people often come and go, only about 50 meters apart. When Mrs. Xu saw me, she was very enthusiastic and provided all convenience. The mother-in-law sent some pots, spoons, bowls, chopsticks, and bought firewood, rice, oil and salt with the ticket, and the life of the Zou family began.

I wanted to invite the Zhang family, relatives and friends to have a meal, but unfortunately there was nothing to buy in the market at that time, and the restaurant did not hold a banquet, so there was no way, so we only invited everyone to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles, which was counted as our newlywed "banquet".

The simple luggage for the recruiter was the new makeup of our "cave room", and the blanket I brought with me became the cover for our first wedding night.

We have finally found a common destination - to love each other for a hundred years. I'm thirty years old this year, and she's twenty-two years old.

Every day after breakfast, the two of us came to the second old man's house to get together, and soon, brought her sister and son to take advantage of the Chinese New Year, everyone gathered lively and lively, sharing the joy of family. I used the new camera I bought to take a lot of photos of my relatives, which will be remembered forever.

Because there were many guests, there was no place to sleep, so my mother and sister lived in our new house, so I slept with my father-in-law, and talked with the old people every night, which was very happy. During the day, the whole family gathered around a large brazier, a pot of hot tea, and a tray of refreshments, chatting while eating, and they asked me about my experience and work in the army, and I answered them one by one, talked very speculatively with the old man, and chatted with the second old man until late at night. The mother-in-law urged from time to time: "Sleep, sleep." My father-in-law was lying on the old chaise longue with his eyes narrowed, and I thought he wanted to sleep, so I stopped talking, but he said, "You speak, and I'm still listening." "I realized that the old man was closing his eyes and recuperating.

I introduced to him the customs, living customs, products and climate of the ethnic minorities in the border areas, and he had never heard these anecdotes, and the old man seemed to be listening to the "Arabian Nights" with relish. I lay down with the old man and talked for a few nights, so that the old man understood the outside world and me, and it seemed that they were still very satisfied with my son-in-law.

Because it is the first month of the Spring Festival, everyone celebrates the Spring Festival, I took the enrollment to the third sister's house in Xikeng, Liqiao Township to pay New Year's greetings, and then went to her Zou family and my own family to walk, complete the mission, and return to my parents-in-law.

said that after the Lantern Festival, he would return to Nanzhao Province, and the second elder was busy packing for us, and my brother and sister-in-law prepared our luggage on the road. The day of departure is approaching, and the old man thinks of marrying his daughter to Nanzhao Province, thousands of kilometers away, when will they be able to meet? I was so sad that I shed tears, a thousand blessings, ten thousand wishes, I hope we can love each other, have children, everything is safe, the more family words are spoken, if there is nothing to say, I will eat melon seeds and fruit points, and cherish them around the stove.

I took a family photo for the second elder family as a souvenir. At that time, Xiaolan was still young, running before and after, so cute. My mother was busy with three meals, and took special care of us, and repeatedly said to me: "The student is just out of the house, and she needs to take care of her." After a pause, he said: "The enrollment has a bad temper, let her more, don't be like her, there are few relatives around, you must respect and love each other, and bring your son and daughter back to visit relatives in the future." "It's really affectionate, and I can't give up.

We are about to travel far away, and we can't help but feel a little melancholy. "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless." How much courage and determination does it take to entrust me with my life, marry away from home, and completely lose the protection of my parents! We will have to face all the hardships and hardships in the future! After going thousands of miles, when will I be able to return to my hometown to visit my parents? The admissions couldn't help but burst into tears...... I had to patiently comfort her and encourage her courage to leave the country.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month in 1959, we set off to return to Nanzhao Province. I said, "Take care of the second elder, five years at most, three years at the least, and we will come back to visit you." "Who knew that this parting was 11 years, and we didn't see each other until 1970, when my father-in-law had passed away, and we didn't fulfill our filial piety for a day, which is really a lifelong regret.

We took a camphor wooden box full of things and a box of crispy meat and other food to eat on the road sent by her sister, said goodbye to the old man, brother and sister-in-law, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, and walked to Zhushanqiao Station.

The enrollment mood is heavy, keep looking back at the distant hometown, thinking of going away, when can I come back to visit my father, she cried emotionally, this is thousands of miles away from the frontier of Nanzhao Province, far away from the love of parents and relatives, this is gambling with her life! Who can guarantee that this choice is the right one?

I whispered, "I understand your feelings, you can cry if you want to." She thought that there were other people in the car, and slowly stopped crying.

It was the first time to go out for admission, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to take her to Jiushi and Wushi for a "tour", and she readily agreed, how much she wanted to go out and open her eyes. This is the earliest "tourist marriage".

I took the car to Hongdu, played for most of the day, and took the train to Jiucheng that night. There was a colleague Tan Yibin who came back to get married, and it was easy to find his house, Xiao Tan happened to be busy getting married at home, and stayed at Xiao Tan's house that night.

On the second day, accompanied by Xiao Tan, we toured the appearance of Jiucheng City and went to Ganjiatang Park and Yanjiang Road to have a look. Yanjiang Road is a street built along the riverside, more beautiful than the old city, only to see the wide river on the giant ship shuttle, a busy scene, Xiao Tan played with us all morning.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Tan took his new daughter-in-law and boarded the "Minsheng No. 5" passenger ferry to Wucheng, and Xiao Tan's mother and others sent us on the ship. We had a fourth-class cabin with four beds and a total of eight people. The room was spacious and tidy, and as soon as the whistle blew, he left Jiucheng. Since then, I have never been to Nine Cities again. The admissions has Xiao Tan's lover as a companion to chat, and the mood is much better.

"Minsheng No. 5" passenger ferry, more luxurious, sailing on the choppy river, the hull is stable, the speed is fast, the ship has a total of five floors (except the bilge), each floor has a restaurant, bathroom. While the sky is still bright, we go up to the fifth floor to enjoy the scenery of the river.

The afterglow of the setting sun, reflected on the surface of the river, is full of golden waves, colorful, and fascinating. The river surface is open, the smoke is vast, the fishing fire is lit in the distance, and the giant ship shuttles back and forth, which is very spectacular. It was the first time for the admissions to see such a magnificent scene, and they were very happy. The wind was too strong and the cold prompted us back to the cabin. Due to fatigue, everyone slept in clothes, and they could only be half-asleep.

At dawn, the whistle sounded for a long time, and the voices were boiling, saying that Wushi had arrived. We quickly washed our faces, carried our luggage, and followed the flow of people, leaving the giant ship and going ashore, planning to spend a day in Wushi and take the train south to Guishi in the evening.

After buying train tickets and storing luggage, the four of them went to see the Wushi Bridge.

The Wushi Bridge is the first bridge in the new 50s, which was designed and built with the help of foreign big brothers. From a distance, the bridge looks like a long rainbow lying across the river. The bridge is divided into two floors, the upper floor is connected to cars and the lower level is connected to trains. The highway and railway approach bridges are very long, the bridge deck can be parallel to two cars, on both sides is the sidewalk plus guardrails, standing on the bridge and looking down, the giant wheel in the river is like a spoon, drifting and drifting.

This reminds me of Fan Zhongyan's "Fish on the River": "People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass." Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil. "Looking down at the railing, it's a little dizzy. I took a lot of photos with my camera. When the train passes underneath, there is a lot of vibration. There is an elevator at the head of the bridge to go down to the ground, and the railway bridge does not allow visitors to pass, and only the armed police patrol back and forth.

When I got to the ground, I took a look at Wucheng, and the approach bridge of this bridge passed through the city, which was convenient for the people of the three towns on both sides of the strait to travel.
