College Students Even Chronicle 32
35 kilometers long from east to west and 12 kilometers wide from north to south, Mengding Dam is a narrow dam, divided into three parts from east to west. Our station is on the westmost part of the dam on the banks of the Little Black River, which is for the lower dam, Mengding Town is in the widest place, it is for the middle dam, where the fields are picturesque, the villages are dotted, the people are thick, people live by the water, most of them are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are streams flowing around the village.
As the saying goes, mountains are green with water, and water is beautiful with mountains. The environment creates people, people have aura because of the beauty of the mountains and rivers, Dai family women also have a natural and original fresh and simple beauty, most of them are facing the sky, there is no need to deliberately modify the dress, that is, the dress is also casual and simple, 12 words can be summarized: "no collar, shoes without help, arms without sleeves, pants without crotch." ”
"Collarless", this is very blunt, that is, their clothes have no collar, one by one to expose the bare neck outside, the original picture is a cool, but inadvertently make the figure appear more and more tall.
As for "arms without sleeves", the picture is the convenience of labor. For this reason, many people wear only short sleeves and vests all year round. This short sleeve and vest are more abstract than today's T-shirts.
"Shoes have no help", this saying is more specific. Men and women and children in the village wear herringbone slippers from Myanmar all year round, all due to the hot climate.
Speaking of "pants without crotch", it means that the Dai family, whether men or women, wear tube skirts, and in order to cool and breathe, many people also have the custom of not wearing bottom pants. This is simply a matter of bad customs in the eyes of those who hold the way of Confucius and Mencius, but on the border, especially on the Burmese side, it is not strange and habitual, as long as it is convenient, who cares about that much.
The women in the village are the top of the sky inside and outside, they often need to cross the river to work, and most of the rivers have no bridges, wading through the water is a common thing, when crossing the river, with the depth of the water, the tube skirt can be raised or lowered. It is hot all year round, and it is common for Dai women to clean themselves in the river. Go down to Hanoi, just follow the water depth and gradually roll up the skirt, take it off from the top of your head, and put it on the stone... Usually, even when it is convenient, there is no need to take off the pants, as long as the tube skirt is thrown around, and everything will be fine quickly squatting.
After dinner that day, we went to the "May Seventh" cadre school located in the northeast direction of Mengding to run errands, and saw that the red sun was still hanging high on the West Mountain, and the time was still early, so we took a detour to a village called Manku. When the breeze blows, the green shade is fragile, and there is a clear stream around the village as usual, and there is something by the creek that is called "lazy" by the locals.
It is said that this laziness is still purely automated. At the foot pedal, it is a groove that stores water, when the rod is still in the groove, only to see the flowing water slowly injected into the groove, when the water in the groove is full of overflow, the head of the groove will be raised high, and in the blink of an eye, the water in the groove will "rush" and quickly flow out, and the head of the tank will fall violently.
The Dai family has a simple diet, but there is a custom of not eating or eating less overnight rice, and they believe that eating it now does not lose its original color and fragrance. So the villagers poured the grain into the nest before going out, and when they came back, the grain was already scooped, and they only needed to raise the chaff to wash it a little and they could get off the pot, the rice was cooked, the rice still had the fragrance of rice, and without many dishes, a meal could be easily sent.
Sparrows are regulars on the edge of the sloth, and they wait in groups around the sloth. My brother Dingjia immediately used "Lazy Diao" as the title to occupy a Poem of Qing Pingle, and the words are as follows;
The village side creek is small, and the green bamboo is surrounded by layers.
A plate of lazy cover thatch, no Dai family Weng Mi.
No hurry, no hustle and bustle, wait for the water to fill the wooden trough.
Suddenly there was a popping sound, startling a flock of birds.
Everyone wrote well and had a sense of meaning.
Some of us have never seen the lazy thing, so we look at it and talk about it. Gu Youfu, the leader of the first class, said, "What is the biggest difference between humans and animals?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he asked himself and continued: "It is the invention and use of tools." Animals are always animals because they don't invent tools. You see how wise this is, with this lazy rice, you can blow the chaff rice without contributing. I see that the leader of the grain house is simply a rice bucket, do not know how to use a tractor or can not afford to buy a tractor, should always know the trolley to save effort, if you buy three or five trolleys to transport grain, transport rice, which needs us to carry so much effort to carry around, this matter is so simple. This guy really doesn't see us as human beings. Seeing that he was right, everyone nodded and said yes. Such a big grain station, even a trolley is not willing to buy, year after year to call the soldiers to work hard, really heartless!
Lao Guo and Lao Gu, who were standing on the sidelines, were originally a pair of natural enemies and a pair of living treasures in the Political Department of Yunda University. Where lao Gu opposes, Lao Guo prefers to support; in the same way, where Lao Guo supports, Lao Gu also opposes in a different way, and at first glance it can still be said to be reasonable.
Only to see that old Gu's voice had just fallen, and old Guo Xiaoshi, who was standing on the side, came to his senses, he said: "It is best to shut up your stinky mouth and let you read the books that you have been reading for so many years in vain." Do you know that everything is divided into two? If the leader of the grain institute knows how to use a tractor or a trolley, he still needs to call you to beat rice? Can you still see what a lazy man looks like? You can still stand next to this lazy man and talk about this nonsense, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to come here and walk around the village in your lifetime..." The words are ugly and reasonable, and everyone nods their heads and say yes.
Old Gu was about to turn his lips to ridicule, when he suddenly saw a group of Dai family whistles wearing emerald green short tops, coming from the field in a graceful manner. This group of youthful and energetic sentries that seemed to fall from the sky suddenly made people shine, and all of them stared at them with their eyes straight, marveling at the wonderful pictures of Zhai Manku here.
Just when I was surprised, two of these Dai family sentries laughed and came straight to us, and said generously that they knew us and must go to their bamboo building to sit down.
"One side of the water and soil to raise one person", most of the Dai women are thin, their face contours are similar to Myanmar and Thailand, the front look, the brain door is slightly convex, the eyes are slightly concave, are thin yellow and yellow a sick Xishi appearance. But at the moment, this group of Dai family whistles may have come in a hurry, or they may be too excited, and their cheeks are actually rosy, like the first bloom of a wild peach blossom in the mountains, and they are even more chuchu and moving, holy and pure, only in this way can you let your heart in addition to the sigh of divine purity, there will be no more non-division of thoughts, and it is not allowed to desecrate her for half a minute.
Looking at Mian Shan, I finally remembered that two of them had gone to the grain house that night to pay for the grain and learned to play on the court.
Since we were already acquaintances with them, we simply sat down and talked to them in the big green tree in the village. In the meantime, several half-old Xu Niang came, and on their chests hung upright a frame of the chairman's portrait of about ten centimeters long and about six or seven centimeters wide, just like the goggles on the robes of ancient soldiers.
One of us is human: You are hanging on to your mobility like this, "It is not better to wear a medallion." "The speakers were unintentional, the listeners were intentional, and they caused trouble with these words, and they went so far as to ask us for the chairman's medal. This portrait chapter is not a rare thing for those of us who have come from a special era, who does not have twenty or thirty pieces in the box, when someone even removes the medallion on the chest, the young Whistle eye is fast, the action is sharp, and the early one has taken it. Yi Xu Niang's movements were half a beat slower, and she didn't get the xiangzhang, and she was so annoyed that she said in a surprising way: "You only love them and don't love me!" ”
Xu Niang's words are idiomatic words, at most it means "you only give them and don't give me", there is no meaning of loving who does not love whom. But I thought that the three platoon commanders were inexplicably taken down by the troops because of similar rumors, and if tonight's incident was added to the oil and vinegar by the ill-intentioned people, and then spread false rumors, the upper line was passed on to the ears of the company commander, and they were recalled to ask about the crime, so that the brothers and sisters in the company mistakenly thought that my motives were impure, and there was a sense of taking materials on the spot, that would be a shameful thing. "The land of right and wrong, can not live for a long time", we all laughed and fled.
Halfway through the escape, they found that old Dong was missing, and everyone was worried that he was in trouble, so they immediately turned back to look for him and walked to the vicinity of the village, only to see that old Dong was with a slender sentry, and something was still lingering in the pinetail bamboo in the moonlight.
The old Dong, a native of Luoyang, Henan, was born in the xiangmendi family of a book, and the Tao is "loyal to the family for a long time, and the poetry book is long-lived". For a long time, there is also a bit of bookishness in Old Dong. His mother died early, and Lao Dong and his stepmother were incompatible, and since he was in middle school, he took the school as his home, and his food and accommodation were in school. At that time, it was precisely during the active period when the excellent works of the military writers under Feng Mu, deputy director of the Ministry of Culture of the Kunming Military Region, frequently shined, and the major newspapers and periodicals rushed to publish their works continuously, and the movie theaters were also busy broadcasting their screenwriting films, which became a good story in the literary world for a while. During this period, Gong Liu et al. sorted out "Ashima", based on Bai Birch's novel, "Mountain Bell Ringing Horse GangLai" and "Mysterious Traveling Companion", Peng Jingfeng and Chen Xiwu's "Lusheng Love Song", Lin Yu, Yao Leng, Peng Jingfeng's "Border Village Beacon", Zhao Jikang, Wang Gongpu's "Five Golden Flowers" and "Moya Dai", Luo Shui's "Mengyasha", Yang Su, Li Jianyao, Wang Jiayi's "Jingpo Girl" and other works with national characteristics are even more popular and purple to bring readers a new ear to the border style. Our old Dong did not fall every time, straight to see like a mesmerizing, Yunnan lake and mountain color, ethnic customs made him fascinated, in 1963 when he graduated from high school, old Dong only filled in a Yunnan University on the volunteer form.
His father knew that Yunda was also ranked high in the country, and famous masters such as Wu Han, Fei Xiaotong, Hua Luogeng, Liu Wendian and other masters had stayed there. At that time, the head of Yun Da was Li Guangtian, and "Ashima" was later sorted out and prefaced by Mr. Li. It is not a good thing to let his son go to such a university for further study, and it is better to let him bump into his stepmother at home and destroy the stability and unity of the family, so it is better to let him go far away and fly high, not to see the heart is not bothered, but also to save trouble.
When Old Dong came to Kunming, he was busy going to Dengxi Mountain. He stood at the dragon gate under the Sleeping Buddha Mountain, and saw "Five Hundred Miles of Dianchi Lake, Rushing to the Bottom of the Eye", which was really very spectacular, and in addition to admiration, he could not help but be impressed by the simplicity and low-key of the Yunnan people. In other places, a palm-sized puddle of water is often called "lake" and "sea", and the unpretentious Yunnan people simply call a five-hundred-mile Dianchi Lake that is "happy and vast and empty" simply called "pool", as if it is just a small family jasper that is not praised by outsiders.
Our old Dong saw the high temperature of 30 or 40 degrees Celsius in Kunming, the 30 or 40 degrees Celsius in Luoyang, the whistling cold wind of Winter Wufeng, where the winter melted, the warmth contained coolness, and the brightness was full of charm. He felt that Mr. Zhu Ziqing was wearing a kind of felt that was often worn by local horse brothers in the vegetable market on the streets of Kunming to avoid the cold, and the temperature in Kunming in winter was not so low, and it was a casual coat to pass the winter. Since then, Old Dong has fallen in love with this place more and more. It is precisely because "I am happy here, I don't think about Shu", and Old Dong believes that his hometown is his hometown, and even his hometown in Henan has rarely returned since then.
Since coming to this Mengding, we all feel that this Mengding people are pure and thick, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the fields are vast and lush, which is really a beautiful place, but although Liang Garden is not a long-term love home. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before they leave Meng Ding, and few people think that they will take root, blossom and bear fruit here. Only Lao Dong was not impressed by this, in his eyes this Meng Ding is simply a place where human nature emits a warm glow, as if it is a paradise, he often sighed: "To be able to settle down here, it is not a beautiful thing in life." Then there was also a crepe crepe sentence " I love the landscape dreams here often come." According to this, Old Dong had already had the ambition of Ling Yun, and it should not be surprising that he was so entangled with na Bu Wei tonight.
The next day, the sentry suddenly came to the grain station, and the pavilion stood under the banyan tree on the side of the gate, and the manners were magnificent, and everyone was amazed, and sure enough, a Peugeot woman was also there. Old Dong immediately greeted him, and the two disappeared in an instant. Since then, there has been no old Dong in the procession we walked. Everyone has the beauty of adulthood and wishes that there will be lovers in the world who will eventually become dependents, so they simply turn a blind eye, and an old Dong is flying in the air and going alone.
