I'm going to say that the brothers around the village, in fact, refers to the narrowest sense of the irrigation village - irrigation village around. The surrounding village a **** subdivided into five teams (respectively, Shihai Village irrigation team to irrigation team), combined into a large community, about a thousand people, accounting for about one-third of the total population of the administrative village of Shihai Village. The village is located in the north of the village, backed by the S355 Provincial Highway, Shihai Industrial Road (Shihai Industrial Zone, Shihai Comprehensive Market, and Shihai Primary School); in the west of the village, it is adjacent to Shihai Village's Xindong Society and Fongdong Society; in the south of the village, it is separated from Fengyuan Village's Dapi Society by Shuikou Ridge, and from Gaofeng Village's Liutian Society by Breaking Stone Hill; and in the east of the village, it is linked with the mountains and waters of Shinan Village, and it is blessed with the Zhaogai Water, a tributary of the Xiaohai River.
It's a good thing that I'm not a big fan of this.
My relationship with my brothers in Goucun begins with Chaogai Shui and Shuikou Ling. The Chaogai water stream is about 15 kilometers long, and flows downstream for several kilometers through Gumcunwei, and finally joins the main stream of the Xiaohai River at the foot of Shukouling Mountain. My hometown, Dapi She in Fengyuan Village, is about 300 meters downstream of the confluence of the two streams. The irrigation village brothers live in the upper reaches of the river, and my folks and I live right next to each other in the lower reaches of the river, each other is really drinking the same water, only separated by a mountain. Even some of the paddy fields of the two villages are still enjoying the same irrigation canal, the Donggan Irrigation Canal, for decades.
What's more, we are not only connected to the mountains and the water, the lifeblood of the same, we also *** with the operation of a countryside slang called "LuJianDu" fertile small basin! This little basin, unheard of, consists of only about forty acres of paddy fields, and is surrounded by low hills on all sides. The flat fertile land at the foot of the mountain belonged to the village brothers, and the surrounding barren hills were left to us, the villagers of Dapi She, to reclaim.
? So, the two villagers to and from the planting, they often meet in this small basin. We are on the mountain "facing the yellow soil back to the sky", they are on the mountain "sweat drops under the soil". Whose brother is thirsty, a greeting can be an excuse to drink water; see who is addicted to smoking, and can playfully hand a cigarette, lend a fire, a look will understand. Meet more often, naturally more a few points of cordiality. Even in the wilderness, slowly cultivated "you pick the burden, I hold the horse, ushered in the sunrise, send away the evening sun" that kind of comrades plus brotherhood.
Year after year, each other in the field interaction, care, even if it is not the same **** ancestors, even if there is no three relatives with the same family name, but also the formation of emotional "three pro". This emotional understanding and recognition of the "brothers around the village" is much more than the geographical sense of the "neighboring villages" concept.
Of course, the concept of "neighboring villages" has accelerated the formation of this "brothers around the village" emotional identity. The fact that there is a water gap and a mountain obstacle is nothing to be afraid of! I often hiked along the 1000 meters of the mountain road, the pleasure of coming, once the mountain, will step into the irrigation village brothers "territory". Even if you walk slowly, but can savor, slowly understand and like the "brothers around the village" here people and things.
I was surprised at the desolate and lonely irrigation village gate tower and Shun You Li Gongzhi, although the age of repair but the momentum has not been reduced. I am even more amazed at the more than two hundred years of history of the Bisong Lai Ancestral Hall, after some restoration, more gorgeous and magnificent. Over the centuries, there have been countless examples of brothers in the village drinking water and being self-reliant.
As I walk along the plowed paths here, I see the brothers of the irrigation village sticking to their farmland and orchards. Behind them, many more of them are rushing to work in factories, working in the city, and learning knowledge and skills on campuses and in training courses. They can be found on Yonghe Road and Yongfeng Road in the Shihai Industrial Zone at their doorstep, on the middle road of Guancun, and on countless roads further afield. All roads lead to Rome, all kinds of agriculture and business, irrigation village brothers are in the pursuit of the dream of the road without forgetting the original intention, and always strive to move forward.
The irrigation village around, just from the Huanhua 221 administrative village of one of the components of the village of Shihai. It is not a tourist area, but just an ordinary natural village - a Le settlement. But there is an abundance of vegetables and fruits, grounding square dances, and a bright and spacious Bixong Gongzhi. People can take a walk, walk their dogs, sunbathe in the sun, pick fruits and enjoy flowers, as well as sing, dance, fish, play chess and drink tea here.
Guncunwei, is about 5 kilometers away from National Highway 105, about 8 kilometers away from Conghua downtown and about 75 kilometers away from Guangzhou downtown. If you come to the small town, you may want to come here as a guest.
The Guncun brothers are also known for their hospitality!
