Rural wilderness prose

When you come back from a walk in the field, you always pass a "Xanadu" not far from the village.

A field next to the road is full of peach trees. There are two rows of dense pepper trees planted all around, which are connected by branches with needles to form a hedge wall with appropriate density. Three small north rooms with red bricks and tiles, with grape racks in front of them. Both shade and fruit. There is a square bluestone table under the grape trellis. There are small flat stones on all sides to make stone benches. The sloping kitchen built in accordance with Fangshan is strewn at random and elegant, which is particularly simple and elegant. Dozens of shiny black cocks, leading a large group of black hens, pecked and played among the fruit trees. The bright red crown with black feathers flashing blue light, like clouds of dark green jade, rolled around in the green shade, adding a lot of splendor to the quiet orchard. Every time the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the faint peach blossoms covered with tree powder are layered and clustered, just like a fragrant sea of flowers. Hard-working bees flutter their wings and shuttle between the flowers, and happy and elegant songs blend into the flowers, forming a refreshing and warm concerto, which makes people relaxed and happy. When peaches are ripe, pink and green peaches are full of fragrance and branches. After passing through this place, I couldn't help but slow down and appreciate the fairy fruits like beauty face. The little dog tied to the door lies leisurely in its nest on weekdays. Whenever someone walks by, he barks politely to inform the host that someone is coming. Its conscientious and responsible professionalism is really touching.

The owner of the garden is an old couple in their fifties. They live a quiet and leisurely pastoral life, which is made at sunrise and rested at sunset. Every time I pass by, I see them both working hard. Occasionally, when I see that they are free, I stop to gossip for a while. At this time, I can't help but think of Li She's poem "If I meet a monk in a bamboo yard, I'll have to live for half a day."

through long-term communication, I have suddenly increased my knowledge. Let's not talk about the others. Take the dozens of chickens that are dark and free-range in the garden, and the secrets are hidden inside. These chickens have not only contributed to the elimination of pests and the increase of fertility in the garden, but also are a lot of financial resources. At first, I was a little dismissive: Isn't it just dozens of chickens? It is true that the financial resources are not fake. Where do you start with "many"? But listening to them pull their fingers together, it was unexpected.

It turns out that in rural areas, almost every household will give a "chicken and fish tribute" every Spring Festival. Worship heaven and earth first, then worship ancestors. There are many stresses here: live carp should be used for fish, but no other fish can. Use a "Quan Huan" (dialect: meaning complete) rooster without a white hair. All-black black cock is the noblest, followed by red, and other colors are the second. In recent years, before the Spring Festival, the most expensive price of such cocks rose to 7 to 8 yuan per catty. If calculated at this price, each chicken will cost several hundred yuan! The high price immediately caused the fever of raising "all-rejuvenating chickens", and many people came here to "find" (dialect: looking for) "black eggs". Black eggs are nutritious and high, and they are bought as gifts. The price of black eggs driven by it has also gone up all the way, and the old couple made a big "windfall" selling chickens and eggs in this whirlwind. The extra high-income happy old couple were in high spirits for a long time like winning the first prize. Although it fell to less than 2 yuan per catty of chicken in the next few years, the glory it once had, like a bright lamp, always flashed in their hearts. Every time I mention it, I can't help dancing and flying. Accompanied by the endless narration with relish, I can't help falling into infinite beautiful memories.

Of course, if the income of several thousand yuan is put in the hands of those with deep pockets, it is simply not as good as nine Niu Yi cents. They will sneer and say, "It's not enough for a table!" It's true. I heard that a director's child got married, and a table of banquets cost seven or eight thousand yuan, and dozens of tables were set! This kind of thing is a dime a dozen in cities, and it is getting worse in rural areas. The disparity between the rich and the poor today is staggering. But then again, the rich live, and the poor live. Happy-go-lucky farmers in China are already satisfied with the modern life that has ensured adequate food and clothing. This old couple, in particular, have long been accustomed to primitive farming with their backs to the loess. The two men took care of this orchard, used electric tricycles to sell fruits and used backpack sprayers to fight pesticides. The rapid process of family modernization has brought spiritual freedom, no less than the fairy. Besides, it is really enjoyable to work under the shade of trees and avoid the sun. After a year's hard work, 8, yuan is credited to the account, even if it is a family astronomical figure. Raising black chickens, a "big pie" that fell from the sky for several thousand yuan, caused no less shock in the heart than winning the first prize in the lottery.

The elegant environment and quiet life have aroused the envy and yearning of many people. Every time we talk under the grape trellis, there is always a kind of Meng Haoran's "preparing me chicken and rice, old friend, you entertain me at your farm". We watch the green trees that circle your village, and the pale blue of outlying mountains ". Leisurely produces a yearning for Tao Yuanming "falling into the dust net by mistake, for thirty years." ..... Open up wasteland in the south, and return to the garden ".

With the frequent exchanges and the deepening of the topic, I am quite surprised by the melancholy and sadness on the old couple's faces. Only after euphemistic inquiry did I understand the truth. I can't help sighing and lamenting for it.

It turns out that the old couple had a boy and a girl. Daughter gets married, son gets married. It was already the time to end the big event and support one's life. Who knows that the sky is not beautiful, and the beautiful family that was originally calm was unexpectedly caught in the predicament of "three feet without wind". The newly married daughter-in-law says she wants nothing from her parents-in-law. Don't let her young couple support, just live at home! The speaker tried his best to persuade him earnestly, and it didn't matter at all. In desperation, the old couple rolled up their bedding and went to "Liangshan" and camped in the land closest to the village. Fortunately, I left some savings and took it out to build three brick houses. Peach trees were planted in the field and pepper trees were planted on all sides. A "Xanadu" envied by people who don't know the inside story was born in this helplessness.

Nowadays, in rural China, the younger generation who have married their daughters-in-law seems to regard it as a fashion not to support their parents. There used to be a saying in the countryside: "A wolf with a long tail has a long tail. I married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother. " Now all these words have come true. Those poor parents are like workhorses; After struggling and panting to pull the "family car" to the top of the cliff, the "eye-catching" people who rode in the car and their daughters-in-law immediately became "long-tailed wolves" as soon as they got married. Take the old man as an "obstacle" in life, lift his foot and kick him out of the house. If you have a little conscience, help them build a nest. If you are old, you will be fine; As long as there is a "nest" lying down, you will be satisfied. But those who have no "conscience" at all will be miserable for the old people. After "sweeping the old man out of the house", I don't care if I ask. Those who have a little "success" in their hands, just like the old couple in "Xanadu", can still ensure food and clothing at that time. However, after being "knocked on the bone to suck the marrow", there are many people with empty hands. Although the government now gives farmers old-age pensions, the monthly pension of 8 yuan is just enough to make ends meet. If there is a long illness and disaster, the conceited part of cooperative medical care is also a big expense. I have to pay one or two hundred yuan for cooperative medical care. Some "wolf pups" don't even let go of this pension, and often do everything possible to "grab it by surprise." The rest of their lives are really worrying. This ugly phenomenon, which is normal, has become a very discordant note in the contemporary harmonious society concerto.

Now, in the government planning, a beautiful and grand blueprint has been made for the elderly. The plan is well organized, which is quite gratifying. However, for the disobedient descendants who do not honor the elderly, that kind of general condemnation is extremely pale and powerless. Filial piety is neither illegal nor criminal. So what kind of articles of association should this extremely immoral behavior without humanity be listed in to be deterrent? It is expected that those who hold this power will pay due attention to this extremely inconspicuous corner and effectively punish these "wolves, tigers and leopards" with legal weapons. In ancient times, there was a saying of "raising filial piety", not to mention our people-oriented era today. It is very worrying if there is no such condition as promotion of officials and examination of civil servants at all levels. Letting these animals and animals be public servants is tantamount to entrusting evil wolves to look after sheep. They don't even want their biological parents. Can they serve the people wholeheartedly? I hope our government can do something in this forgotten corner. Because we all have parents and children.

the crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels and suckles. Animals can still do this, let alone people who are the spirits of all things. The virtues handed down by our ancestors should not be lost in the hands of our generation. Only the harmony of small families can form the harmony of big families. Let these wolves, who have no father or mother in their hearts and are covered with human skin, shout and beat like rats crossing the street, and have no place to stand. Let these discordant notes disappear completely. Our Chinese nation, with a history of 5, years of ancient civilization, can truly enter the peaceful and prosperous life of song and dance.
