1985 Volume 1: Zhu Xianjin wants to go home and see
On 2 November, the "People's Daily" reported: It has been learned from the Ministry of Public Security that the nation's work of removing the hats of the last batch of 780,000 "land, rich, anti, and bad elements" has been successfully completed. So far, China's historical task of educating and transforming more than 20 million "four types of elements" since the founding of the People's Republic of China has been accomplished.
The father took off his hat, and Zhu Xianjin breathed a sigh of relief. His waist seemed to have hardened a little overnight. For the first time, he thought about going home to see his parents.
But after thinking about it, Zhu Xianjin had a contradiction in his heart, why did he always stand at a crossroads, he was right in the past, but now he said it wrong and corrected it, isn't this a trick? He was really happy, surprised and scared about the word hat.
He broke with his parents, and in this way, he seemed to be a speculative revolutionary, an opportunist, and a person who violated morality, and he really didn't dare to think about it. The revolutionary action of that time is obviously ridiculous today. It's easy to take off your hat, it's easy to rehabilitate, and for this reason, there are a few more people who have to bear the infamy.
He was thinking about going home for the New Year. But there has been a subtle change in his heart, and now the organization has admitted that he is wrong, this is not his own face, where will he put this face when he goes home?
At that time, although I was better, the food and clothing of my parents at home was not a problem, and I didn't dare to go back to see it, for fear of being picked up. Now I can go home openly, but I am wandering.
At that time, I wanted to ask someone to bring some money home, but there was no reliable person to trust. Even if you bring a message, you don't dare to report safety.
Today the class no longer exists, but my heart is not ready.
Although his mother doesn't care about his betrayal, he believes in his parents 100%, otherwise can his parents come out?
Zhu Xianjian's wandering and worrying are all justified. The revolution is a test for oneself.
It's really coming to an end, but Zhu Xianjin really doesn't have the kind of surprise that he can't say
It's spring, and the shadow of spring hasn't been seen yet, but I feel warmer in my heart. In fact, the sky is still so freezing, and there is no change. People just try to take off some of their clothes based on their feelings.
At this time, the role of the mind is particularly important, as if spring is tomorrow, and people are much more energetic. Careful people will find that people who love beauty, some take off the underpants under the stockings, in fact, many people like to wear cotton wool underpants under the stockings, and they themselves understand that the underpants are like excess fat, which makes people look a little disappointed.
Before Zhu Xianjin went home, he held a party committee meeting, mainly asking all units to make production arrangements and not to affect production because of rain.
Before leaving, he also found Li Changsheng alone and explained the emergency plan.
Zhu Xianjian's hometown is just a small mountain village with dozens of people on the shore of Poyang Lake.
The history of the village has been out of the list, the waves, there are more businessmen, the cultural atmosphere is better, you see the granite path even the alley through the household, the house is mostly in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the typical Hui-style frame structure, the ceiling, the well algae are colorful, the eaves and the arches, the shape and god are different, the gilt is vague, the door and window flower version is mainly openworked, the content is mostly the peasant life cultivated at four o'clock, the unicorn sends the child, the mythical story of the dragon and the phoenix is auspicious, and the flowers, grasses, insects and fish, etc., contain hope and pursuit, let people see as if they have seen the auspicious light. The openwork knife is delicate and bold, flexible and ingenious, and the stele is simple and natural, containing the spirit and aura of the southerners.
The courtyard of the Zhu family is still the courtyard of three in and three out, the back of the mountain and the water, a nameless river with a width of less than thirty or forty meters flows from the east of the village to the west of the village, there is a stone bridge on the southeast and west of the river, the three-hole granite bridge in the south, the diamond-shaped pier, the bridge deck is also five meters wide and thirty meters long, the boat can be crossed under the bridge, there are some red stone pillars at the head of the bridge, the dragon and the phoenix are carved, like the southerners are as delicate as the southerners, it is said that it is convenient for people to rest their feet and tie the boat and tie the cattle, this bridge people all call it "Liujia Bridge". There is a "stool foot bridge" in the east and west 500 meters, because the bridge pier is made of two pieces of granite obliquely standing into a figure-eight shape, like the foot of the farmer's bench and is named. The bridge deck is about two meters wide and twenty meters long. The east side is called the "East Stool Foot Bridge", and the west side is called the "West Stool Foot Bridge". Because of these three bridges in the hometown, people call it "Qiaotou Zhu Family".
The great maple tree on the dragon's spine is famous, and can be seen from miles away, and its roots are thicker than a man, and children like to ride as horses. Watching over the maple trees are patches of pine trees, most of which are nearly 100 years old, chestnut trees, camphor trees, neem trees are all over the mountains, and crows, squirrels, eagles, owls, and weasels can be seen at any time.
There is a large and a small pond in front of the village, there are streams connected, the moon bud-shaped one is called the crescent pond, the lotus pond is full, the sound of pounding clothes, the lotus shadow trembles. The bronze mirror is smaller, called the full moon pond, raised the jellyfish lotus, the village has to feed the pigs, and someone comes to fish every day, and it will not become a disaster. There are three maple trees with thick grain baskets by the stream, you can see three kinds of maple leaves in red, yellow and green at the same time in autumn, there is a stone mill house under the tree, it is the place where the people in the village use to grind grain or feed rice, and it is also the paradise of childhood, the stimulation of sitting on the mill and shouting the cow is not inferior to the roller coaster now.
Accompanied by the old Geng Lei Gong, Zhu Xianjin took his children and grandchildren to the village to go around, the willow tree pier on the river surface between the "East Stool Foot Bridge" and "Liujia Bridge" is still there, the pier is not big, round, only 30 to be square, there is an old willow tree on the pier that is half lying and half asleep and half awake in the center of the pier, the surrounding of the pier is the lotus leaf is elegant, the water bird is leisurely, mysterious and poetic. Sitting on the willow stump and watching the passing boats really brought my heart to the end of the world and gave me some inexplicable conjectures.
Perhaps because of the warm winter, the river beach at the head of the bridge became green, scattered wildflowers, tender green willow branches, bees humming a little song, butterflies came, and sunny flies also appeared. The cress and artemisia in the river also appeared, which was a paradise in Zhu Xinjian's memory.
They flew kites on the fluffy grass barefoot and sang "Clap your hands, a hundred flowers bloom." The wind blows the swallows across the river, the toads sit on the mounds, and the bees pick flowers. People dance by the lake, and flowers bloom in the moon. "Frolic by the river with small flowers and reeds swaying. The sun is about to go down, we sing "you come to sing, I come to dance, the boat comes and goes, the boat comes and goes, I don't want to look, the fish listen, the fish listen, the birds dance, the fish listen, the birds dance together, the sky is getting dark, I don't leave, I can't stand it when I go home" from the bridge.
Rape flowers yellow all over the two sides of the bridge, in the bridgehead to pull the fish is the scenery of the village, people use the bamboo pole to stretch up the net to make the fish, the size of the fish is different, the big side of the dragon is long in the zhang, the small few feet are also there, this net is mostly woven with twine, the hole on the edge of the net is big, the hole in the middle is small, the square or prismatic mesh, the small fish will be released. The lotus root has new leaves, the river is much plump, and it is even more interesting to put yellow girls in the river. The yellow girl is also the yellow bone fish. In the middle of the night, people bring homemade tools, in fact, it is to tie a thread on the tip of a small bamboo, and the other end of the line is tied with a fish hook, the fish hook is set on the earthworm, preferably a complete live earthworm is the best, so that the yellow girl can find the target. Along the riverbank, a small bamboo pole loaded with earthworms is inserted into the waterside at the head of the bridge, and it has to be collected before dawn, otherwise it is afraid that passers-by will take it away.
The water chestnut is fragrant, and the girls who sit on the wooden basin to pick the water chestnut are dressed in colorful clothes, like swallows, butterflies and flies. Water chestnut has two horns of four horns, they can't eat it, most of them are given to relatives or neighbors, few people go to sell, one or two cents a liter, the price splashes very much, the sale of water chestnut itself is intriguing, there are two benefits of selling with liters, use liters to grab water chestnuts with hands, not easy to hurt hands. It is more cost-effective to use such angular things as liters than to weigh them with scales.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, after lunch, my father took off the calamus and wormwood hanging on the door in the morning, tied it into a small boat, inserted the lit incense, and made a wish for my brothers and sisters to put it into the river at the head of the "East Stool Foot Bridge", and then go to the "West Stool Foot Bridge" to wait for the Chinese Ai boat that he put down. If you don't wait, then you have to be careful in everything, and life may have some twists and turns or bumps.
Looking at the dragon boat in the afternoon, it is almost pouring out of the nest, there is nothing fun in the countryside, only the traditional festival, there is a little folk behavior to make the crowd excited. The dragon boat is to see, not to mention that there are a lot of things to sell, and it is also a good place to go on a blind date, for Zhu Xianjian, he didn't know anything at that time, like most people, just to see the excitement, now that he thinks about it, only the familiar "Dragon Boat Tune" allows him to return to that lively atmosphere.
There are crowds of people on both sides of the riverbank, and "Dragon Boat Tune" rises and falls:
The first drum of the Overlord of the First World War began,
World War II Zhou Cang was noisy,
Three battles of the tiger captured Lu Bu,
The four wars of the Southern Dynasties are good to raise troops,
Five battles, five passes, six generals,
Six battles and six Lang guard three levels,
Seven battles Meng won Zhang Shigui,
Eight Battles and Eight Immortals Lu Dongbin,
Nine after the war, Tang Li Cunxiao,
Ten battles and ten lang are white robes.
Summer always makes people crazy to think about the naked season, the "West Bench Foot Bridge" bridgehead has become a natural bathing place, the terraces on both sides of the bridgehead are partially submerged in the river, the shallow water area surrounded by the lotus nature, the most suitable for children to learn to swim, in the evening, the children in the flooded terraces "dog crawl", the timid row on the shore, the bold jump down on the bridge, and touch a fish from the water, sometimes people in order to bet on the fastest speed to touch the fish, even if it is a few cents a pack of "seabird" brand cigarettes, that is you fight with me, do not let each other. I love to look up on the water, listen to the breath of the developed aquatic plants, and the summer bridge seems to be forever only laughter and applause. They splashed freely and heard their cheerful laughter as if it were just yesterday.
Autumn is coming, there are geese flying overhead, the river is thin, quiet, there is no summer liveliness, I like to put the small rice on the side of the bridge in the morning or before the sun goes down, and sometimes you can pull the loach, yellow eel, small shrimp or something that has gone the wrong way, the lotus leaf bends down the body of Tingting, and the turquoise is like the clouds in the sky quietly slipping away.
In winter, the river dries up, and the canopy boat is moored, but the bridgehead is lively again, and winter is also a harvest season for the water town. I went to high school, on the weekend, I was also the same as adults, wearing a torn cotton jacket on the upper body, a pair of shorts on the lower body, walking barefoot into the cold wind ditch, just into the water, the whole foot was like ten thousand needles through, I jumped ashore, slowly the feet were almost unconscious, after a few shivers, and then went into the water, as if a hot current surged to the whole body, I used the "sleeping net" to fish in the water, catfish, carp, mullet, yellow bone fish, everything, when I was lucky, I could also get a mandarin fish, never returned empty-handed. When they came ashore, the partners took advantage of the bridge to shelter from the wind, lit a bonfire with straw, and roasted some fresh fish and shrimp to eat, which was not cold at all, no wonder people often said that "there is a fire on the head of the fish".
A heavy snow carried the prophecy to come, the river froze solid, it was a children's paradise, playing eagles to catch chickens, pushing hoops, jumping the emperor, climbing bridge piers, the river was full of life. The most fun is to play the "Lake Dragon" competition, a person sits in the "foreign basin", let people push hard, whistling and sliding over hundreds of meters, whoever slides the farthest, who will win the reputation of "Lake Dragon". Play is to have fun, "foreign basin" can be the skin of the flesh blooming, my mother also beat me for this, later I learned that a "foreign basin" to half a load of grain money, and at that time the general home did not have a "foreign basin", are ...... with wooden basins.
This time when he went home, Zhu Xianjin was intoxicated many times.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when I opened the door in the morning, it was a crystalline and white world.
The world has really changed. The unexpected snow fell heavily, and the fields and shores were covered overnight. I didn't see the weather getting cold yesterday, so why did I close the door with heavy snow overnight? The weather is really hard to figure out, and the snow doesn't follow the rules. Let's just talk about it, extreme weather is really a bit extreme.
On the first day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Xianjian's family made a New Year's greeting to the elders in the village.
Zhu Xianjin went from house to house to pay his respects for a year, he was pious, and he was grateful to his father and fellow villagers from the bottom of his heart for letting his parents survive the struggle of the Great Revolution at night.
Early in the morning, Zhu Xianjian's first thing was to pay New Year's greetings to the old village chief.
"Mao, eat something and have tea. Don't be polite. ”
"Yes. What is laid out is food, you're welcome! "Zhu Xianjin deserves to be fast.
"The village chief said that my village has been in the village for more than 800 years, and there will be a prefect and a governor from generation to generation.
Zhu Xianjin just haha, the village chief talked about the history of the rise of the village: "When my ancestor saw a land fairy on this land, this was a wasteland at that time, the ancestor lost his father in his early years, and lived with his mother by giving a rich man surnamed Gui, that day he was grazing cattle here, it was the season when the persimmon was ripe, my ancestor was eating happily, the earth fairy came, he asked the earth fairy if he ate it, the earth fairy was also tired, so he sat down, ate a persimmon, relieved the drink, and also cushioned the belly.
This earth immortal said that it was not far away, and it was not close to it, and the surrounding land was invited to him, and he did not talk about the price, but it was all up to the master to take what he wanted, and he took as much as he wanted.
When he left, he stuck his staff and stick in the place where he was sitting, and told my ancestor, "This stick will sprout in three days."
At that time, my ancestor did not believe it at first, but three days later, he saw that the cane and hand stick had really sprouted, so he opened a wasteland by the tree, and saved a heart, so that his mother was buried in this place after her death. It must be a good place to make a village.
Within a few years, my ancestor's parents died, and less than a year after the burial, his grandson Han Xian was admitted to the Jinshi, and within three years, Han Xian built a good Jinshi on this land.
Since then, the family has prospered for 800 years, and it has developed into a large village of more than 5,000 people, half of whom went to Jingdezhen, and one-fifth of whom went to Bishan Village in Poyang County.
My ancestor is called Bangrui, so the river bay in front of the door is called Bangrui Bay, the backing mountain is called Bangrui Mountain, the ridge on the left is called Bangrui Ridge, and the river on the right is called Bangrui River. ”
Zhu Xianjin and the old village chief chatted about the personnel changes in the village, and talked about the current situation and future of the village.
The village chief said that he wanted to repair the ancestral hall, and asked him if he had any good suggestions, after all, Zhu Xianjin was a person who had seen the world, and he also knew that the village chief's suggestion was false, and he wanted him to take some money to sponsor it was true, in fact, he had also gone to see it, there were traces of mud and sandslip on the walls on both sides of the ancestral hall, which had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and the tiles were broken a lot, and they also looked sparse, so it was time to repair, but he didn't say it first, for fear of putting pressure on the countryside and villages.
Today, since the village chief opened his mouth, he is also a straight person, saying that if you take 2,000 yuan, everyone who is willing to contribute will contribute, and those who have more money will put new gongs and drums, dragon lanterns, and dragon boats.
The village chief's eyes were as happy as a cat, and he said: "The ancestors are virtuous, out of your dragon species, our Zhu family also has a head, a face and a hope near and far, and there is so much money enough to repair the ancestral hall, and set up dragon lanterns, dragon boats, gongs and drums." ”
At that time, 2,000 yuan was a large amount, and he also saved half of his life. He also has a reason for doing this, mainly to repay the villagers and make his parents happy.
The parents are very happy that their son is doing this today, they are not simply trying to save face, they are happy that their son has not forgotten this hometown. They eat less and use less, and their hearts are comfortable.
Zhu Xianjin began to get lucky, and his previously thin body began to be rounded. When the people in the village saw him, they all said that he was lucky and was going to have good luck.
He also had a hunch in his heart that he was going to have good luck.
When the villagers returned to worship, they all said that he was the pride of Zhujia Village, and his parents heard as if they were young.
His parents always had smiles on their faces, and the people in the village came to sit at home, making this long-dormant courtyard vibrant and prosperous again.
