20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 484

Chen Hui said: "It's not necessarily true. It may be that the water level has dropped to dryness. This side may have been a big tributary. It turns out that the Taizi River was a big river in history. It is not much smaller than the Yangtze River, but it is not as deep and long as the Yangtze River. "

Xiaowei said: "I don't understand the difference between a river and a river. The Yellow River is big enough. Why is it called a river?"

Chen Hui thought for a while and said: "It seems to be divided according to the mouth of the sea. Those that enter the outer sea are called rivers, and those that flow into the inner sea or large lakes are called rivers. There is no strict difference. It is the customary name since ancient times. It is said that the current of the river is bigger than the river."

Xiaowei said: "Not necessarily. The Hun River is larger than many rivers in China, and the Yellow River is smaller than the Yangtze River? The Wusuli River is about the same as the Taizi River, and it is not as big as the Liao River."

Chen Hui said, "Whatever you call your love, who knows how it was called in the first place, someday you can go back to ancient times and ask, and just tell me when you come back."

The three girls behind laughed, and Xiaohong said: "You two are really fun. There is nothing worth talking about about this. It's just a name. Anyway, it's just flowing fresh water. In many places, rivers and rivers bark casually. Qinghai Lake It’s also called the sea. What’s the difference? It’s just a matter of geographical dialect habits. Like Datong River, it’s called Jiang, right? But the songs that sing about it all refer to Dahe, who said it wrong?”

Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Which river is the Datong River? I've never heard of it. What song?"

Xiaohong cleared her throat and sang: "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both banks. My family lives on the bank."

Chen Xiao said: "Oh, this song, where is it sung? Datong River? Where is it? Don't tell me, I have never thought about where this song is sung."

Xiaohong said: "The Daedong River, the mother river of the North Korean people, passes through the urban area of ​​Pyongyang."

Chen Hui said: "Isn't it? I remember seeing some interviews. Mr. Qiao who wrote this song said it was the Yangtze River, but he said that it is better to use a river. Every Chinese has a river in his heart."

Xiaohong said: "First, when the reporter asked a question, Mr. Qiao just said that when he wrote the lyrics, he saw the Yangtze River for the first time and was touched. Second, this song was a Korean song during the Korean Aid War. Also, azalea and bitter cauliflower are very famous, which is equivalent to our "my home is on the Songhua River in the northeast, I just took it and adapted it and changed the lyrics into Chinese, and the translation is basically the original meaning."

Chen Xiao opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Really? Isn't it our country's song?"

Xiaohong said: "It's just for publicity, political correctness was required in that period. In fact, many of our songs were taken from other people at that time, and the Soviet Union had the most songs. Anyway, there were no patents and copyrights at that time. Everyone was socialist. The countries in the camp, communism and mutual benefit.”

Xiaowei said: "Don't talk nonsense, nonsense."

Xiao Hong pouted and snorted, but fell silent.

The car drove around the mountain for 10 minutes, and finally saw a village in the distance. Xiaohong said, "It's here, it's here."

Xiaowei looked at the village Guoshe which was getting closer and closer, took a deep breath and said with a smile, "This is our village."

The car was parked on the barren dam at the gate of Xiaowei's house.

When everyone got out of the car, Xiaowei looked around and said, "Brother and his wife are really hardworking people. They have opened up a lot of land. I remember that this piece of land was much bigger than it is now, and they were all planted in it." .”

Xiaohong looked around with wide eyes and said, "I don't know, I remember that there is no vegetable field in front of your house."

Xiaowei glanced at her and said, "You remember when we were ten years old, right?"

Xiao Hong pouted and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be. Then blame me? I don't go to school."

Chen Xiao pulled Xiaohong and asked, "Where is your home?"

Xiaohong pointed to the front and said: "That's the house, it has become someone else's house long ago, the house was given to my uncle, and my uncle sold it after it's over, this old thing, use my house to sell it for money." Laughed first.

Xiaowei said with a smile: "You have the ability to speak to our uncle. They built a new house and the old one can't be sold?"

Xiaohong glanced over there, took a breath and said: "But that is my childhood memory, I can't even look at it now, do you think the hole we dug when we were young is still there now?"

Xiaowei frowned and said, "I don't know where to go, what hole did I dig? I forgot."

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Haha, I heard that you two were quite good at shopping when you were young."

Xiaohong smiled and said: "I have no one to play with, so I have to drag him every day. His elder brother won't play with us when he grows up. At that time, Xiaobing was too young. I ordered him to do it for both of us. The wall of the kang was opened, haha."

Xiaowei thought for a while and said, "Ah, if this happened, I even asked my dad to chop it up. You really ran away."

A man wearing a straw hat and looking for a hoe came from a distance: "Who are you looking for?"

Xiaowei turned his head to look over, and said with a smile, "Brother, it's time to go to the field."

Xiaohong put her hands around her mouth and called: "Wow, woof woof." It was Xiaowei's elder brother Zhang Wang who came and scolded with a smile: "Damn girl, you're still so naughty. I thought who came from somewhere, These two big sedan chairs. Enter the house, when did you arrive?"

Xiaowei introduced: "This is my brother, Zhang Wang, this is Xia Maosheng, and this is his wife Geng Hui. This is Chen Hui, and this is his wife Chen Xiao. We have just arrived, and I am going back to the county. Do something, come back and have a look, everything is fine at home now?"

Zhang Wang went to open the gate of the courtyard and said, "It's good. The land has been planted, and there's nothing else to do. I usually just wait and see. Will you come back and stay for a few days?"

Xiaowei said: "No, I just came back to take a look. I haven't been back for a long time. After I finished, I went to see Xiaohong and her grandma and then went back. There is still something to do over there."

Several people entered the yard, a big dog ran over to sniff one by one, chickens were walking in the yard, pigs were humming in the pen, big geese stretched their necks to patrol the site, ducks were usually invisible, and they didn’t know where to run. The water has gone, and it will come back at night.

Xiaowei looked at the yard and asked: "You have turned a lot of land, can the two of you plant it? Don't be too tired."

Zhang Wang put the hoe away, took off his clothes and hung them under the eaves, patted the ashes on his body and said, "Where can I be tired? It's a matter of a few hoes. What's so tiring about growing vegetables? My second uncle is tired of cutting rice." Yes, our family doesn’t grow that kind of thing now, and we don’t have any paddy fields.” There are not many paddy fields here. It used to be a collective field when the river was quite big, but there were few acres of paddy fields when the production was distributed to households.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Wang's daughter-in-law poked her head out to look. Zhang Wang said, "Xiaowei and Xiaohong are back, have you got some food?"

Xiaowei and the others called sister-in-law, and Zhang Wang's daughter-in-law agreed shyly, and said to Zhang Wang, "Why don't you tell me in advance, there is no more meat at home."
