Shi Xuesen prose works: one night in the countryside

"The city has a long time, and the countryside is wide. Night to hear dog barking, fire to comfort your body."

Unconsciously, since his parents have gone to Beijing to help their younger brothers take their children for more than ten years, they have almost no longer slept on their hometown. This parent took the little nephew back to his hometown to live, and he finally had the opportunity to reside in his former residence.

After returning to my hometown on this day, I took a four -and -a -half -year -old nephew to the beach and told him: "I won't go back today, play with you for a day at home!" : "Didn't you lie? Don't you go back?" After getting a positive answer, he was so happy that he smiled and stuck to my side. Occasionally, I went to the yard to go to the toilet, and called me loudly on the puppet. I'm afraid I will go secretly.

At night, the little nephew who had played was to confirm that I was with me, and finally fell asleep with peace of mind. Looking at the small figure beside him, listening to the barking from the time outside the window, it was difficult to fall asleep for a while. The soft bed that is not used to sleep, maybe it is the emotion of returning to this hometown that has grown up since childhood, or there may be some small excitement. In short, you can't fall asleep safely.

Gently get up and come to the yard, find a horse to sit down, take a pair of Pu fans gently, look up at the bright half moon in the night sky and the cloud color, the four Gu Gu are already the courtyard of the cement. Flying on the bright moon ...

At the age of seven or eight, the yard in the home was made of pure stone barriers. On the east of the door, there was a grape, and the vines were covered with a shelf. Granules are sweet and juicy after bite; there is a locust tree in the hutong outside the door, which is born closely by the wall, stabbing the sky obliquely, straight and sharp.

Every summer, dinner is eaten in the yard. When the meal is opened, my brother and I will move the small dining table made by my father to the yard, and then put on the small bench around. After the mother puts the rice out, the family eats around the table. At that time, there was no electric lamp, and at the beginning of the day, it was not dark, and it was a bit unclear to eat it. At this time, there will be some gourd moths, which are very large, flying around the gourd flowers around the yard, and the sound of the winged wings is clearly heard. At this time, if you want to catch it, you only need to pick one gourd flower in your hand, and then lift your arms to the air, and the moth will be attracted. When it extends the long beard into the gourd flowers and pick up honey, your five fingers suddenly gather and hurry up, and the moth will be locked by you in the flower and capture it ...

At that time, there was no mosquito harassment. I remember that there are many mosquitoes than now, but the variety seems to be very single, and the bite is not as poisonous as the current mosquito. Unlike now, when I write this mood in the room with the air conditioner, I occasionally do not know where to get from a half of the mosquitoes from coming in, I have already bite me to mess around, I can't wait to fly a mosquito to the flames. Go! After dinner, after packing the tableware table bench, everyone will take the bench to the Hutong to cool down. At this time, the hutong was almost full of people, and everyone basically came to the streets after eating. In the age of no electricity, let alone TV and mobile phone. The children's fun is all in the wild, or the story of adults. Most of the small children snuggle beside the mother, while enjoying the coolness brought by the mother's shaking fan, they widened their eyes and immersed in the ancient legends and rural history of grandpa or grandfather; Children generally can't sit still. They rushed to the woods outside the village in groups, and searched the monkey who was arched from the soil and climbed up the trunk. Then get up in the middle of the night to see the transformation of Jin Chan's shelling, listen to the bright and high -pitched cicada sounds from the early morning; or give it to the mother, or cook or fry, and become a high -protein deliciousness on the table.

At that time, there was a flashlight at home, even if it was a big piece, adults would not give it to the little fart to hold it out; occasionally who brought it out of the house, and immediately became the leader of the children. The forest showed the king's style, and the flashlight patrolled back and forth like a visiting light, and directed the little friends to clean up the torrential products found. If there is no flashlight, in addition to using the weak moonlight star light under the shade of the tree, the basic operation will be touched by hand -with their own memories of the terrain, the hands are explored along the root of the tree, and the income income that is not lucky is in the pocket. Essence Of course, the gains of groping often have "unexpected joy". What is more in my hand is toads, and even lucky can touch the thin, long, and cold things. At that time, it may be that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and occasionally there was no big response, at the earliest screaming: "I touch something!" Then I threw it away. what.

At that time, the village was not as big as it is now, and there are too many trees in the middle of the village. Behind my house, there is a large pit left in the sand left by the villagers. There are about sixty or seventy meters in the north and south, and the deepest part can be five or six meters. When they are drought, everyone digs the sand from the inside, transports home to the pigs, and then becomes an indispensable soil fertilizer in the crop field through the hard work of fat pigs, which will be repeated. A pig is an organic fertilizer processing machine. It feeds the simple farmhouses, worked hard, and gives up their righteousness.

In the rainy season, the big pit will be filled with water, and the water that cannot be filled will bring disasters to the village. After a heavy rain in the memory, when I got up in the morning, I found that the water in the house had not passed the knee. A more spectacular phenomenon appeared -the water flowing into the yard from the threshold of the house, and the family seemed to become a mountain spring! Then follow the parents to emergency flood relief. After suffering the suffering of the water for many years, when the house was renovated to refurbish the house at home, the parents first added the house to nearly one meter to the house. Since then, it has never been threatened by water. The big pit behind, as the conditions changed, gradually no one went to collect soil, but turned into a natural garbage dump. After years of unremitting efforts, we finally recovered back to the horizon. Without water, the frog sounds of the frog at night will no longer appear again, and there is no symphony of the toad frog in his sleep. Quiet is quiet, but what does it seem to be a little bit lacking? The thought seemed to be a little far away with the Yueyue, and quickly pulled the kite's line to let the soul return to the body. Only then did the villages seem to be more quiet in the barking sound of the dogs. Jingying had to get into her heart. At this moment, it was the relaxation of the whole body and mind. I was reluctant. I could sit down like this and look up at Mingyue and listen to the village sounds. Isn't it good?

Are you willing to sleep like this?
