After I finished writing, I couldn't get enough of it, listening to the small bamboo forest behind the house, Xiaoxiao and sassy, and wrote a few sentences on the paper.

Miscellaneous poems

Xiao Zhai wants to conceive, and has a few lines of poetry. Untitled, looking at Mr. Ding'an's meaning, is a miscellaneous poem, here two hundred years old.

For 20 years, I have been a fool of the way, and I have hesitated and doubted a little.

In front of the court, Xiao Xiao bamboo was planted, and the old death was especially left to sweep the cloud branches.

……

Yes, in order to continue to learn from the saints, although tens of millions of people have gone to it, just like Li Dongfei said, it is something that you are firm, and you have to be firm all the time.

Keep your own way and go on, so why bother asking the rest.

Someone has to do stupid things.

The Chinese civilization has been passed down from generation to generation, relying on those foolish people.

is like Lu Xiufu, carrying the little emperor on his back and taking 100,000 people to the sea.

Just like Huang Daozhou, a scholar, with his family carrying a flat burden, rushed to those copper coins and rat-tailed animals.

But that's about it.

……

It's been another morning.

Grandma got up early in the morning, cleaned herself up, neatly arranged her silver hair, and then tied it with a brown curved hairpin, looking very energetic.

This is the case with many strong people, the lower and weaker the heart, the more you want to make yourself look radiant.

Today is the day she went to Jianning.

Grandma didn't have many things, and Chang Xian didn't want to bring anything, so she wanted to buy a new one for the old man after Jianning.

However, my grandmother insisted on packing some changes of clothes and miscellaneous items into her two boxes and putting them in the trunk of the crown.

Two old chests that went unnoticed were grandmother's dowry boxes.

According to her, the pair of boxes came to her, and I don't know how many generations they have been.

In the past, after giving birth to a daughter, a camphor tree would be planted in the courtyard, and when the camphor tree grew up, they would know that there was a woman in the family to marry, so they would come to the door to propose.

When it was time to get married, the camphor tree was cut down and made into a pair of wooden boxes.

Put in two boxes of silk, take the meaning of "two boxes (silk) guard".

Not only does it have a good meaning, but it also has a very strong practical significance.

You must know that the silk of that era was a valuable thing, hard currency.

With these two boxes of silk, my daughter can also stand tall and live in her in-law's house.

Grandma's dowry box was not made of ordinary camphor wood, but huanghuali.

At a glance, the texture of the two boxes and four panels is relatively almost the same, and it is made of the same wood and the same material.

There is no carving on the box, only the top of the box adopts the style of an official hat, and the three-layer tower-like staircase has the meaning of rising step by step.

The light of the copper lock has dimmed, but the two characters engraved on it are still clearly visible.

Chang Xian himself estimated that although the true value of this pair of boxes was not as good as the pair of four-headed official hats and chairs in the Ming Dynasty that he shot before, two million would definitely not be able to hold it.

However, this pair of boxes is considered a grandmother's heirloom, and the meaning is different, and it is not for sale.

Helping my grandmother into the car, the eldest uncle looked relaxed, but the younger uncle wanted to speak and stopped, with a little shame on his face, but he didn't say anything after all.

I just said something about paying attention to my body and the like.

Grandma looked at this small mountain village where she had lived all her life, and this old house that she and her grandfather had run by themselves, and her face was as calm as a peaceful lake.

However, her slightly trembling eyelids let Chang Xian, who had been paying attention to her, read the ups and downs of her heart.

The old man took a deep look, as if to seam it all into his mind.

She herself knows that she doesn't know when she will come back when she leaves.

Even, maybe the last look.

Although, this is the maiden servant, which is stronger than now.

But uprooting is uprooting.

Leaving home when others want the leaves to return to their roots.

has two sons, but he has to go to his daughter's aunt and leave his hometown.

Grandma waved at the crowd of people who were sending her, closed her eyes and said, "Let's go!" ”

Chang Xian knew that she was in a bad mood, so he put Qingming in the arms of the old man, and the little milk dog was meaty, which could bring her some comfort.

After meeting Shi Laohan at the bank in the town to transfer money, he gave him a phone number, and Chang Xian took his grandmother to Jianning.

In Chang Xian's memory, there is only one grandmother among the old people who are always parents and mothers, and the relationship between grandmother and family is very close.

Chang's father was alone back then, and his marriage was fully supported by his grandmother, and his relationship with his grandmother has always been very good.

Especially my sister Chang Xiaoyu, who lived in her grandmother's house for two years when she was a child, and she was very close to her grandmother.

So Chang's mother has long had this heart, but her grandmother's health is not very good, and she has motion sickness, and the travel conditions do not allow it, so it has been difficult to make the trip.

This time, Chang Xian drove by himself, not only was he well prepared for food and drink, but he also prepared a little bit of motion sickness medicine and commonly used first-aid medicine.

Armed to the teeth.

Along the way, I often took out the spirit of driving a donkey cart and drove slowly and leisurely, like a special trip for sightseeing.

When I saw the place I was interested in, I felt a little uncomfortable and walked around, and after thirty or forty minutes, I also came down for a stroll regularly.

Grandma has never been out of such a far door in her life, and along the way, she has seen places she had heard of before, such as Taojiang, Yiyang, and Changsha.

In this way, the old man not only did not get motion sickness, but his spirit was still much stronger.

Before I knew it, I was in Jianning.

The cost is to run more than 200 kilometers, leaving at 9 in the morning and arriving home at nearly 4 in the afternoon.

Then my grandmother was welcomed like a hero, and Chang's father cooked for herself, and asked Chang's mother to chat with the old man.

Well, Chang Xian, the coachman, was also unanimously commended by his family.

The reward was to go to the supermarket and buy toiletries for my grandmother.

……

Beijing Xicheng Million Village.

Before liberation, it was a cemetery, full of desolation, called "Million Graves".

Later, the construction of the residential area felt that the feng shui was not good, and the Bagua formation layout of the twelve earthly branches was used to crack it, and it was named "Million Village".

Designed in 1953 by the famous designer Zhang Kaiji, completed in 1956, it is the first batch of civil servant dormitories in the country, and is known as "the first residential area in New China".

It is mainly a large dormitory of eight ministries and commissions, and there are also foreign language bureaus and geological sciences in the south.

This quiet old neighborhood is full of three-story spired red brick buildings, square and thick.

Zheng Mang walked briskly through the armed police booth and walked in the community, there was no noisy traffic, everything was very quiet, and the old people went in and out comfortably and peacefully.

The autumn sun shines on the red buildings, and the branches of the tall poplar trees are intertwined, and when you walk inside, time seems to slow down.

If you ignore those crowded cars, you must be in a trance and think that you are in the capital 50 years ago.

Most of the houses here are 60 square meters of two-bedroom apartments, with large windows made of Northeast red pine, and the furniture was uniformly rationed by the state at that time.

Such housing conditions, in an era when the living area is less than five square meters, it is indeed enviable to be able to live in a house of such a level.

Zheng Mang continued to walk north, crossing the road lined with two rows of locust trees, and several two-story townhouses were guarded by guards, which was unusually quiet.

This is the Minister's Building.
