Contemporary Prose｜Laughter in the Mountain

Wen/Jia Wen

In September of that golden fall, the rice was fragrant, the fruit was abundant, and the harvest was in sight. We chose a good day, and the weather was particularly sunny and breezy. So, we are on the way, in the green mountains and water, birds and flowers, accompanied by a work of the village, winding a mountain range in the "send", came to a long admired a Phoenix Mountain forest.

When I stood in a corner of the forest far away, here really let me open up, relaxed and happy. Because of the environment here, it is really mountains and water, green and fragrant, pleasant scenery. What's more, there is a brook gurgling; jumping and singing, spring water ding dong! The water is gushing continuously. And everywhere you can see the willows, swaying. It is really a scene of unlimited scenery, beautiful scenery.

The forest in the mountain pass is located here, nearly three hundred families. And the surrounding residential area here, that is surrounded by mountains, green trees, winding paths, the environment is very elegant. More blue water and blue sky. It is really a natural oxygen bar. When I was there, in the forest residential area; look around, really let me have a very cozy feeling arise. Because the benevolent man enjoys the mountains and the wise man enjoys the water. You see, by the unified design of the forest field, unified capital construction of residential areas, are particularly beautiful and chic. From afar, that trip trip white wall red color steel tile houses, in the mountains under the backdrop of emerald green, reflected in the red and green, is enchanting beautiful, charming and delicate. This residential area, is more staggered. The flat and straight concrete streets are crisscrossed. This situation, really let me unexpected.

During this period, I went to look for one as soon as possible, as early as in the woodland residence of the old literary friend Zhang Zhen. I passed by the street several times; I saw a lot of courtyard, all parked all kinds of agricultural vehicles, motorcycles, cars. I thought they were guests from the city. In fact, my literary friend Zhang Zhen's family has three motorcycles, two four-wheelers, and a brand-name black car. Besides, they spent millions of dollars just to buy buildings and cars. At that time really let me unexpected, more let me envy! At that time I thought, this forest area is really richer than my county civil servant ah! I really did not think that this big mountain, can still have so many cars. It's a good idea to have a good time, but it's a good idea to have a good time!

So, when I met with my friend, Zhang Zhen, he said that because of the party's good policies over the years, people in the forest area are rich. Therefore, his family not only has a variety of vehicles and so on, he also bought a building of nearly 100 square meters in the county, actually spend more than 400,000 yuan, but live a migratory bird life. In this regard, again let me thumbs up. I remembered that he also said that there were many other households in our forest farm that had bought buildings in the county. And forestry households have a variety of mechanized all kinds of vehicles, used to planting to engage in sideline business, the light has a car of the family has a number of households, really make them joyful!

In the meantime, they often consistently say, our forestry families, can have such a rich today, really thanks to the Party Central Committee, thanks to the reform and opening up to bring us happiness ah! You look at our wages in the mountains, every month a person have opened more than four thousand yuan, a family of two open eight or nine thousand yuan, in the past we also go to work; wages only thirty or forty dollars. Nowadays, the wages are so high, and the Party has given us forestry workers such a high treatment, which we have never thought of in our dreams. We are really grateful to the Party from the bottom of our hearts! So we must work well to return the favor of the Party. Actively nurture the forest, maintain order in the forest area, control the mountains, do not cut down indiscriminately. Do a good job of fire prevention in the mountains, manage soil erosion, and return farmland to forests. We must be able to afford the wages the Party sends us. To our conscience ah!

In fact, more than 40 years ago, we have come to several forest farms to engage in the work of the whole party, the several neighboring forest farms, the largest number of households, there are only thirty households. And all live in thatched houses, not to mention a variety of vehicles, even bicycles, the whole field is only one or two, and then again, the forest field transportation is also very inconvenient, the whole field has a Dongfanghong chain track tractor. A trip to the county to go, go a round trip, get up early in the morning, have to go more than a day's time, but the sun is not seen at both ends. At that time, there was a hand-cranked telephone in the forest. Besides, if you want to call the county town, it is considered long distance. This situation, the impact of the constraints on the economic development of the time, the people's life to get rich, have brought considerable obstacles. Various economic information, what all kinds of news, and all kinds of news, transportation, etc., are very closed. The mountainous areas of the forest at that time, really sparsely populated, rare, especially silent.

Then today can be good, here and the town and county have opened a passenger bus. The most unexpected is from the county and the town, the road to the various forests, one by one are repaired, flat and clean cement road, and winding through the streets to the various forests, the highway clean meandering, as if a gray ribbon, extending to the various forests, as well as households. The road is clean and winding, like a gray belt, stretching to the forests and households. It is really a cozy and happy road. But every day there is a large amount of cars, all kinds of cars you come and go shuttle constantly. Now this mountainous area sedan, cab, to the county to do business, a hundred miles of road, a day can run several round trip. You say that the state has to come up with how much money to build roads ah? In the past, this is really not dare to think ah! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new car, and you'll be able to get it back.

Besides, here communication phone, Internet, microblogging, WeChat, computer, TV, cell phone, all have excellent signal. And a little bit more than the county and city, say the department concerned. In order to have a better signal there, on the side of the mountain peaks near the various forest farms, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, are installed on the dissemination of a variety of signals towering over the large iron frame. From now on let here the joy of cultural life sound, "ticking da da da" all kinds of vehicle horn sound, loud radio sound, really people and horses, laughter sound! Constantly meandering around the mountain in the sky. Indeed broke the quiet of the mountains. More and more feel, day and night for a new day; blessed full of Qiankun ah! In this regard, now the city people want to transfer into the forest can not come.

Then now here, in the reform of the spring breeze blowing slowly, it is really a heavenly change. The people here not only eat and wear carefree, not worry about food and clothing. And the amateur cultural life here is more colorful. Usually in order to combine work and rest, you see, usually they consistently organize people in the field of the Ministry of the square, either "啌chu-chu-chu, 啌chu-chu-chu" song and dance, or do the posture of the beautiful fitness exercises. Dance a graceful square dance. In fact, the songs and laughter here. Can be said to be no less than life in the city.

Normally, they are in order to get rich. In addition to normal work, the rest of the spare time, in the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons, they have a lot of come money Road. The basic family can not be idle. Every spring, or in the enchanting summer season, some families were busy cultivating the land given to them by the forest, planting corn, squash, soybeans, and so on. You waited until the fall and began to harvest all kinds of hope. They put the white squash seeds in rows to dry in the longitudinal streets. When I raise my eyes to look at, that rows of drying white melon seeds of the platform, as if this trip trip, rows of platforms like that white bright jade belt, in the bright sunlight, is so snow white beautiful, very glittering, very eye-catching. People envy! As if that piece of RMB placed on that platform.

In addition, they in order to constantly increase the family income. Every year in the spring planted the hope of harvest outside, every time to the hot summer, when the rain cleared, each family, all can walk can put the men and women, all to go out. They go to the mountains to collect fungus, matsutake mushrooms, dig ginseng, pick mountain pears, and pick all kinds of wild vegetables that can be sold. During the rainy season in the fall, people from all their families would go out to the mountains to pick mushrooms, monkey heads, and pears. Picking prickly pear, schizandra, mountain grapes, and so on. When you wait for the fall harvest, they also go to collect corn and soybeans. Gathering firewood from the pole and branch. It can be said that can check, can use, can make money; they have to pick. In addition, there are most of the people: there are beekeeping; there are pigs; cattle, horses and sheep; chickens, ducks and geese; there are also fish; planting a variety of fruit trees; planting a variety of vegetables ......

This season, you and other city came to the literature friends and relatives, so sex cook some of the mountain raised chickens, ducks and geese eggs, to do the chickens and children Vermicelli ton mushrooms, to do the chickens and children The first thing you need to do is to make some chicken, ducks and geese eggs. Do mixed with five flowers three layers of stupid pork ton of oil bean curd, ton of now fishing up the nature of fish, eat without chemical fertilizers, cook in small quantities of fragrant, sweet, yellow, sticky buds, these and so on pure green food, ah, you just make it, quite quite fragrant ah! It is indeed memorable. Really mouth-watering; in the past, city people could not eat. Therefore, the people there can not: full of "heh heh" laughter?

In fact, as far as I know in the forest stayed in the forest, the families in the forest, than our miners, and the city working-class people's families are much richer. It can be said that every family has tens of thousands of dollars in savings. You don't look at live is brick and mortar bungalow, but each family's decoration, all special colorful. A family race a family. Than the building decorated all high-grade. These are the things that I could not have imagined.

In fact, in the mountains of the forest, as long as you have the economic mind, as long as you are willing to contribute, willing to work hard, your family will be rich. Really. In fact, the chicken, fish, eggs, meat, all kinds of food and fruits eaten in the city, and the pure green food eaten in the mountains all year round, are simply unrivaled! Plus, they eat clear and sweet mountain spring tap water all year round. Besides, the air here is very clear and warm, so here people's bodies are particularly healthy, and do not take medicine for many years without injections, life expectancy under the average than the city people's much longer. It is not less than the longevity townships such as Bama in Guangxi. This also contributes to the country's saving a lot of hospital fees, drug costs and other costs.

Indeed, the mountain has always been for the health of people in the mountainous areas of survival, spring, summer, fall and winter release of a variety of give, and constantly weaving a healthy longevity for the people; all the time without using a very high level of negative ions nourishing the people in the mountainous areas. Care for the people. So the people living in the mountains, in constant gratitude to the party, taste the Party Central Committee to bring the sweet as syrup at the same time, so let this mountain, every day, curls drifted to the mountains to get rich in the sound of laughter.
