happy looking back

Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him with shining eyes: bosom friend!There is no need for abalone and shark's fin, we country people, the rarity is this delicious gift of nature.

"There is a Da Da River at the west end of the village. Every summer is hot, it is the season for water chestnuts to mature. Pick some old shells and dry them in the sun. In winter, braise and stew pig's trotters. It is the best delicacy in the world~~~" Rolling up his tongue, licking The corners of the mouth are flooded with saliva, and I deeply understand the fragrant, sticky, fat and fat hometown food a year ago, hey!I was homesick, and I missed my young dad.

"We rowed a boat to pick red water chestnuts, we picked red water chestnuts, we got a man with a heart, and a girl with a heart, just like two water chestnuts, never separated, we are of one heart." The old man sang this 60s song vaguely Almost all the young and old sang folk ditties in China, and for a moment I completely forgot that this is the international port "Pearl of the Orient".It seems to be returning to the warm scenery and the sparkling embankment of the Dahe River, watching the young girls rowing boats, picking red silk in the depths of the green weeping willows.

"We rowed a boat to pick red water chestnuts, and we picked red water chestnuts. We got sisters to be affectionate, and men got hearts. It's like two water chestnuts, born on the same day. My two hearts are connected." Nuo Nuo's soft and childlike voice sang With the poetic feelings of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, the shy expression on her small face made the cool old man on the opposite bed smile.

I also followed the beat and echoed, a male voice and a female voice, who were surprised to be sung by us two young people of the same sex who are more than half a century apart.I feel silly and cute, and I am indulgent and carefree.They looked at each other and saw the silly look in each other's eyes, so they couldn't help laughing "haha".

"This Da Dahe River is a treasure of our Xiaohe Village. Do you know why Xiaohe Village is not called Niutou Village?" After we, the old and the young, had laughed enough, we wiped away the tears from the corners of our eyes, and I happily continued the unfinished topic just now.The old man shook his head very seriously, and stared at me without blinking his eyes, which satisfied my little self-esteem unprecedentedly.Proudly raised his head and said, "Because there is a Da Da River at the west end of Xiaohe Village, haha~~~" Thumbling his shoulders, he raised his head and burst out laughing unscrupulously.

"In winter, when the river bed is dug to fill the fields with sludge, the Da Da River will be drained, and every household will send out a strong man to go fishing at the bottom of the river. Do you know what kind of fish soup is the most nutritious and the most milky?" I squinted my eyes mysteriously. Laughing, the old man raised his sparse eyebrows and looked at me curiously, "What fish?"

"Heiyu!" The thief snickered, and gave the grandfather a "just know, no need to experiment" look.Although my mother ate the black fish distributed by the whole family back then and failed to produce milk, which caused me to drink milk essence since I was a child, and now I feel the smell of milk dolls all over my body when I get hot.

"Sauerkraut black fish stew, a delicacy in the world." The old man has endless aftertaste and ordered a dish that almost every colleague and classmate must order when they treat guests in the 21st century.bosom friend!I was moved and nodded repeatedly. Those black fish raised artificially in the 21st century, how can there be wild wild black fish that tastes delicious and smooth.

Knock broad beans and get a dung beetle

"Behind Xiaohe Village is the famous Niutou Mountain. The origin of the black bear essence in Journey to the West is Niutou Mountain—" Seeing that the old man didn't know much about this black bear essence, his big watery eyes rolled his eyes. He has read the four ancient classics. Why didn’t I know there was a black bear spirit, “It was the idiot who was later arrested by Guanyin to take care of the Zizhu Forest.” You said that the Niutou Mountain in Xiaohe Village is sparsely populated and rich in vegetation, and life here is so exciting, but why do you run around in those four seasons? Going in the corners surrounded by clouds and mists, it is really blind to see gold inlaid with jade.

"That black bear spirit originally lived on Heifeng Mountain, and conspired with the abbot of Guanyin Temple to take the Tang monk's cassock, and was enlightened by Master Guanyin to practice in the purple bamboo forest, and the Bull Demon King and Princess Tieshan lived on Niutou Mountain." Grandpa He looked at me suspiciously, with a serious expression on his face.

I racked my brains and thought: Didn’t the “Black Mountain Old Demon” live on Heifeng Mountain break up Ning Caichen and the dead ghost Xiaoqian? When did the black bear spirit move there to join in the fun? Wasn’t Yan Chixia the one who was neither male nor female when she was fighting?” Black Mountain Old Demon", but a black bear spirit with big arms and thick waist.

Besides, the Bull Demon King, the Iron Fan Princess, and the little three "fox spirits" all live on the Flame Mountain, and they will live in Niutou Mountain at some point.With dizzy brains in his arms, he desperately wanted to remake the messy TV plot in the 21st century, and found out that Chen Shimei married the princess because of his own will, and his loyalty is commendable.Quickly shaking his head violently, the aversion to cold threw all the miscellaneous things out of his forehead.

"Have you ever eaten river snails with cut buttocks, and put some red pepper in it, the taste is definitely a good dish! My grandfather and father like this dish the most. Every summer, Uncle You Jianjun goes to Moon Bay in the east of the village to pick it up. Snails, and small clams.” Think of small clams stuffed with minced meat in sauce and steamed in a small cage for an hour or two. The rich aroma of minced meat is mixed with the umami taste of clams. Bodily fluid flooding.

"Gudong!" He couldn't help swallowing, and wiped the overflowing saliva from the corner of his mouth with the hem of his sleeve, and also saw the old man's protruding Adam's apple wriggling up and down.The feeling of sympathy with a confidant arises spontaneously, and it is a shameless act to mention eating in my hometown.Although everyone was sallow and emaciated from hunger, Zhongren paid attention to reserved style, respected etiquette and avoided taboos in every word and deed, and had to hold back when he was very hungry.

But one has to be honest, if one is hungry, one is hungry, and if one is gluttonous, one should admit it openly.Looking at the frank and sincere performance of this old man, I am afraid that when he was young, he was also a person who was "inclusive of all rivers and seas".

"I have eaten it! When I was young, I even ate beans, meat, insects, grasshoppers, not to mention river mussels and snails." The old man was quite proud and puffed up his chest. His eyes passed me quietly in the memory of the time, and he looked out of the hospital bed. Where the breeze floats, the leaves rustle, and the green grass is full of vitality.

I excitedly clasped my hands into fists and acted like a shy little daughter, staring at the old man with big wet eyes adoringly and worshiping: What is a majestic character, this is it!Self-proclaimed "one mouth in the world", I almost spit out the overnight meal when I saw that green and oily wriggling thing back then, but I didn't expect this expert to be able to eat it.It is estimated that the poisonous scorpion, civet cat and Sudan red in the 21st century are all no problem.

"Is the baby ready?" My eyes twitched as I watched Li's mother push a small wheelchair and walked into the ward with a smile.As for, it made me look like a disabled person.Although I resisted in my heart, I also understood.I'm such a big baby, and I can't bear it on my face, not to mention that I'm troublesome when I go shopping with my arms.

"En! I'm ready." Mother Li picked me up from the bed and carefully put me into the wheelchair.Not daring to use his left leg hard, he supported the armrest and moved his buttocks. He felt a thick layer of softness behind the chair, and a warm current flowed from his heart to his whole body.Mother Li bent down and carefully rolled up my trousers and straightened them.

"I'll see you later, old man. I'll go to Taotao to see what's delicious and interesting in Hong Kong. When we come back, let's continue to discuss the food in our hometown." Sitting on the chair, turning back to the hospital bed and closing eyes again, no one paid any attention to the old man. Say hello with a wave.With a faint smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, he stretched out his trembling right hand and waved goodbye, watching me disappear by the door of the hospital bed little by little.

When I came here, I was lying in Li Xiqing's arms, feeling Papa Li's amazing racing skills, and I couldn't take a closer look at the surrounding environment.As Li's mother pushed the wheelchair out of the gate of the hospital, she saw high-rise buildings plunging into the sky one after another in front of her, and the ground was full of traffic and crowds.

As far as the eye can see, there are a variety of shop signs everywhere, and the signs in Chinese, English and French are full of exotic flavors.Walking around and selling small carts are cheap and delicious snacks, as well as some common daily necessities.Being in it, it feels like returning to the emerging metropolis I once lived in in the 21st century.

Along the crowded pedestrian street, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bright lights inside, and the decoration is extremely luxurious.At first glance, there are branded luxury goods counters, where a button for a piece of clothing is enough for our family's living expenses for a year or two.The slight jealousy made me curl my lips in disdain, and secretly made up my mind to help my father get rid of poverty and become rich and become well-off.

"Welcome!" Push the door and walk into a jeweler's store. The six revolving glass doors are full of luxury.As soon as I stepped in, I was deeply shocked by the hidden cave in front of me.The beautiful Miss Yingbin has a dignified and elegant temperament, each of them is dressed in a cheongsam, with high buns, like clouds and black temples dotted with bright ancient crystal hairpins.Seeing the guests welcome the door, smiling like a flower and wishing all blessings, it immediately makes people feel at home, kind and enthusiastic.

Each counter has its own scenery, and the jewels and treasures are fully revealed in each scenery.However, no matter how wide one pair of eyes is, it is impossible to see all the treasures.I was so jealous that I secretly slandered: If this jewelry store is robbed, the whole family will be happy for a lifetime.But when I saw the black suit and black tie hiding behind the counter, some evil thoughts had just emerged, and my heart was chilled by a plate of cold water.The gun control system is loose and full of loopholes. It is estimated that in this era, security guards have a black hole pistol in their arms.

"Does the baby like it?" Mother Li pushed me down in front of a counter, looking at the big piece of gold gleaming in the glass cabinet, my heart was beating violently. In the 70s, the price of gold was 11 yuan per gram, and my grandfather’s grassroots cadres only paid 21 yuan and [-] cents per centimeter per centimeter. It is conceivable that compared with the crazy price of gold in the [-]st century, it is not cheap to go there.But the problem is that in Hong Kong now, the exchange rate mechanism between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi has not yet been perfected.
