Chapter 34 Weizi River

Yang Lei's wife is Hu Jing, she is very sweet, 1.6 meters tall, with a melon-shaped face, she looks very young, she is almost 30 years old, but she looks like she is only 21 years old, Hu Jing is not too beautiful, But it is very delicate like a southern woman.

Chen Ziyang always called her Hu Tutu, because once when Hu Jing went to the mountain to visit the grave during Chinese New Year, her ears froze when she came back.The temperature in Big Walnut Town in winter is generally minus 20 degrees, coupled with the cold wind on the mountain, Hu Jing didn't wear a hat, and her ears were swollen from the cold.After Hu Jing touched the green frostbite ointment on her ears, her two big green ears dripped down under the action of the medicine. No matter how you look at it, Hu Jing's image looks like the monster Shrek...It just so happens that Hu Jing's surname is Hu, So Chen Ziyang was inspired by the cartoon, and since then she has been called Big Ear Tutu.

In Chen Ziyang's words, Hu Tutu is a heroine-level character. Although he is very thin, his temper is very hot, and Yang Lei's temper is not good. The two have known each other since they met. From the beginning of time, the tip of the needle is always facing the wheat, and there is a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days.When it was light, the two scolded each other, and when it was serious, they used their hands directly, and if they couldn't solve it with their mouths, they used their hands directly.The two talked about divorce all day long. At the beginning, when the two of them quarreled, Chen Ziyang tried to persuade him. Later, they fought so frequently that Chen Ziyang didn't bother to care about it, as long as he couldn't beat him to death.

At the beginning, Chen Ziyang was worried about whether they would get divorced if they fought so hard, but later he found that his worry was a little unnecessary.After the quarrel on the first day, the two of them were able to go out to eat holding hands on the second day, Chen Ziyang was also speechless.Yang Lei's mother found a fortune teller to tell the two of them a fortune, saying that the two of them were enemies in the previous life and enemies in the present life, and they had to fight every day.So Yang Lei's friends were calm... No matter how hard they beat Chen Ziyang, they didn't even hear him.

Yang Lei and his wife are also very competitive. Although they beat each other a few times from time to time, and sometimes even Hu Tutu scratched Yang Lei out of potatoes, the two of them are still as good as one.In fact, this is the case with couples. Some couples are usually sweet, but if they disagree with each other, they get divorced.How can the couple not quarrel, they are all stumbling and living together.It's not that husband and wife don't quarrel all their lives, but they quarrel for a lifetime.

16 kilometers downstream along the Yalu River from Big Walnut Town, there is a small town called Weizihe, which is smaller than Big Walnut Town.It got its name because the river flows through here, the current is fast, the sand and stone are rolled up, and the banks of the river are covered with reeds.Weizihe also belongs to Linhai City. Before the road along the river was built, Weizihe was a small isolated village.Back then, the old Taoist took Chen Ziyang to travel all over the mountains and rivers around Linhai City, but there was only one place he didn't go, and that was the Weizi River.Because the traffic here is really inconvenient.

The upper reaches of the Yalu River through the Weizi River are turbulent, while the lower reaches are gentle.The perennial river erosion has washed the upper and lower banks of the Weizi River into cliffs, and above the cliffs are steep stone mountains.Because of this cliff, Weizi River had no road before the road along the river was built.Chen Ziyang remembers that the only way he wanted to go to the Weizi River when he was young was to wait for the Yalu River to freeze in winter and then walk across the Yalu River.

The temperature in the mountainous areas of Jilin Province is very low in winter, and a thick layer of ice forms on the surface of the Yalu River in winter.In the deep winter, the ice layer on the river is very thick and solid, even if you drive a truck with cargo on the river, there is no problem. The locals call the river at this time Jiangdao, which used to be the town of Weizihe. The most important cargo transportation channel, but the river road can only last about one or two months a year, and the rest of the time because the ice layer is not thick enough, it will be very unsafe to drive.Heavy trucks could crush the river, causing vehicle crashes and fatalities.

When the Yalu River is not frozen or the ice layer is not thick enough, the only way to get to the Weizi River is to climb over the side of the cliff.It is precisely because of the unique traffic conditions of Weizi River that a national model worker once appeared here.The official record is this:

Gong Mouyu, whose ancestral home is in Shandong, is a descendant of Shandong people who broke through the Guandong, and took root in Weizihe.He has been engaged in postal work in Weizihe Town for more than 20 years, with a journey of more than 30 kilometers, which is equivalent to seven times around the earth, and delivered more than 7 million pieces of mail. , and have done countless good deeds for the local people.He not only collects remittances and parcels for the masses, but also often brings salt, matches, rubber shoes, buckets, medicines, etc. for the masses along the way. .

Gong Mouyu went to BJ in 1969 to participate in the National Day Ceremony celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was received by party and state leaders such as the chairman and prime minister; in September 1979, he was named a national model worker.The local people even spontaneously raised funds to erect a tall statue for him.

In fact, Chen Ziyang believes that this description does not describe the real reason why Gong Mouyu was awarded a national model worker.The real reason is precisely because of the topography of Weizi River.Gong Mouyu has to go back and forth once a day on a mountain road dozens of miles away. The mountain road is cut off by cliffs from time to time. The total length of the cliffs on this road adds up to several hundred meters. At that time, the only means of transportation in Gong Mouyu's hands was the postal system. A green postal bicycle is uniformly distributed.

The usual mountain roads are fine, riding a bicycle in easy places to walk, Gong Mouyu pushes the bicycle in difficult places and uphill places, but when she reaches the cliff, Gong Mouyu clamps the bicycle with her legs, Climbing the cliff slowly with both hands.When encountering a protruding rock, he can step on it temporarily, jam the bicycle, and rest his feet.

In this way, for more than 20 years, Gong Mouyu crawled here and there nearly [-] times.Chen Ziyang had heard about Gong Mouyu's deeds since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything admirable about it at the time. Later, when Chen Ziyang saw those cliffs from the highway along the river, he felt deeply shocked. This is simply sending letters with life.

Today's Weizihe Town has changed from shot to shot, and it is no longer the poor mountain village that was isolated from the world and a few poor families wore a pair of trousers.The current Weizihe Town has convenient transportation, and four kilometers downstream is Jinyin Gorge, the most beautiful scenery along the Yalu River.There are cliffs on both sides of Jinyin Gorge, and the green Yalu River runs through the mountains.Here, the river is wide and the water is stable, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, the peaks are dangerous and the mountains are strange, and it is rich in various famous fish such as Aohua and heavy lip.It not only has a good natural ecological environment, but also has a unique cultural landscape. It is a tourist attraction with no mountains, no water, no beauty, and no scenery without surprises.The mountain stream in the Jinyinxia tourist area is quiet and beautiful, the stream is charming and colorful, and the strange rocks stand tall.

Taking advantage of the convenient location next to Jinyinxia, ​​Weizihe has developed into a tourist town integrating food, accommodation and entertainment.Here you can taste the most authentic Northeast farm food, eat the freshest Yalu River fish, and see the most beautiful scenery of the Yalu River. Rows of single-family villas are built on the hillside, and the faces of all local residents are full of joy. Proud and happy smile.
