In that small town on the northeastern border, people live a slow and comfortable life. Except for the busy farming hours and the time when they go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables in May and June, the rest of the days are very leisurely.

This may be the so-called backing on the mountain. Some people are able to enter the primeval forest, relying on the annual search for wild ginseng, and it is said that if you meet a ginseng doll, there must be a good wild ginseng nearby.

Some people go up to the mountains every year to collect a kind of collection called

The wild vegetable of "micro vegetables" has not been carefully studied in that word, and this kind of vegetable has a whole month from the end of April until the end of May, and it can complete the life of many people for a year.

In addition to picking vegetables, this kind of vegetables also needs to be processed manually, called kneading vegetables, which is the process of drying and kneading vegetables into a good-looking bend.

At this time of the year, I will also follow my mother to help, kneading vegetables can earn more than a dozen yuan a day, there are not many people who catch up with the busy farm kneading vegetables, and the price can be doubled.

As a result, these inconspicuous mountain goods in the town have become the livelihood of most people in the town.

Of course, there is another group of people who make a living from logging, and are the most powerful people in the town, with timber processing factories and legal logging rights.

But in any case, their factory is also the livelihood of many people in the town. Things in the mountains are not valuable, but for outsiders and even international friends from Japan and South Korea are definitely good things, every year there are many outsiders to buy, the price is also with the market, higher and higher year by year, the highest annual pound of micro vegetables sold to 60 yuan, in that town with a monthly salary of only a few hundred yuan, this is a sky-high price, so that year many people put down their jobs, and even left the farmland into the mountain (of course, this mountain is not everyone can enter, there is a reptile in the mountain, the soil is called grass crawler, the toxicity is very great, If you get bitten nine times out of ten, it's fatal.

Here we have to take the forest encephalitis vaccination every year, in fact, it is to prevent it from biting, it is said that this insect is very vicious, the head is small, the bite does not let go, and it can not be pulled out, it can only be roasted with fire, otherwise its mouth will fall into the flesh and the toxicity will slowly disperse).

For me, a person who loves to eat, my memory is full of delicious food, especially the local local honey, which is now called black bee snow honey on the market.

Beekeepers live in the secluded part of the forest, and try to let the bees collect the sweetest taste, really while drinking mountain spring water, while collecting nectar from the original forest.

The mellow taste is simply wonderful. I still remember the pollen sold on the roadside back then, the grains are full and the taste is simple, and the price is even more affordable.

But as the number of outlanders increased, many things began to change. The opening of the market has changed the lives of people in small towns, and more and more people have gone out to big cities and want to change the lives of small towns, but they can't even remember how to write the simplest word natural.

Since then, if you want to buy good local honey, you have to find an acquaintance to have it, and most of the products sold outside are processed, that is, blended.

At that time, adults said that people's hearts had become bad. The people outside are too fancy, and the people of our Gada are honest, but honest people are also the easiest to learn badly.

It is said that because of this incident, the town also lost the opportunity to become a production base for a certain honey brand.

While most people are still good, only a few have learned to be opportunistic. But it also ruined the reputation of the town and the simple atmosphere here.

I remember spending a wonderful junior high school in a small town, when every day was a step-by-step routine, and occasionally I deserted and got up in the morning to climb the North Mountain.

North Hill is the closest mountain to the town, and the town's only TV tower is also there. Standing on the north hill, the scenery of the town is in full view.

My mother always said that Chang Wangyuan is good for my eyes, so I went to climb the mountain every day for a while, and later I learned that it was my mother's trick to let me get up early to exercise.

Later, the town planned to rebuild Beishan Park, which can be regarded as the back garden of the town, but after all, it is also a corner of the primeval forest, and there are also a lot of various elf-like animals hidden in it.

Common ones include squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, super spiders, and so on. If you're not careful, you'll hit the nail on the head.

However, they usually run away when they hear a human voice. Although the people who come here are not malicious, for them, people are always dangerous.

One rainy morning, I almost stepped on a small green snake on a wet path, and the moment he quickly crawled under my feet, I was about to faint.

This snake does not look big, but it is quite venomous. Fortunately, I was able to settle my feet in time.

Despite this false alarm, it didn't change my love for this place, because there are many interesting plants here, some of which have grown for hundreds of years.

I still remember that at the entrance to the observation deck, there was a large conjoined tree, and it took three or five people to surround it.

Here it is ordinary but unusual, here the mountains are ordinary but the trees are extraordinary, here the people are ordinary, but the sun is unusual.

Locals are proud to say that my home is where the sun first rises. So for a while, I wanted to see the sun when I was born.

But every time I open my eyes, they are already bright. At that time, my parents made a breakfast stall, and I also got up early for a while, but have you ever seen the weather that has already glowed white at 3 o'clock in the morning, it is said that the sun is ready to come out at 2 o'clock in the morning, and even if it is five or six o'clock in the cold winter, it has already climbed the skyline.

The sun is early, the people are early, and even we students have a much earlier time for morning classes.

So I'll admit that I'm a pleasure seeker and haven't been able to see the sunrise over town. This is the northeast town where the sun first rose, it is called Dongfanghong, it is said that General Wang Zhen gave it this beautiful name because of this characteristic here.

Many years later, when I was introduced to each other in a university class, no one knew the name.

At that time, it was really embarrassing, and in the face of laughter, I had to subconsciously casually say a nearby big city, which was considered to be mixed, but in fact, I hope everyone can remember this small town called Dongfanghong.

There's a fairly well-preserved primeval forest, the last remaining Siberian tiger, it's only two or three hours' drive from Zhenbao Island, and it's the end of the railway in the northeast.

Admittedly, it is really small, with thousands of households, not as prosperous as the big city, but it has a more down-to-earth life than the big city.

I have lived in the big city for many years, and I still remember the slow and trouble-free days there.

Nowadays, we have all grown up and left there, things are not people, but Dongfanghong is still there, has not changed, the verdant poplars in the school are still tall, and the TV tower on the north mountain is still watching over the lights of thousands of homes.

People's lives are still in order, although there are many more parents in the trivial matter, but it is still warm.
