To the south of Changzhi City, along the south of Qiugu Mountain Range, there is a scenic spot in Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort that was once written into the eight scenic spots of Lu 'an in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Behind the ridge of Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort Scenic Area is the Queen of Dongling, which is commonly known by city people. There are seven villages here like the Big Dipper. They are Donggu County Village, Xigu County Village, Pengjia Village, Langjia Village, Hetou Village, Zhuangzeshang Village and Yu Jia Village.
According to historical records, in these villages, Donggu County was the county seat of Shangdang (also known as Huguan) in Han Dynasty. In ancient times, the location of the county government was repeatedly selected by many Feng Shui teachers and finally submitted to the official for confirmation. There is no doubt that this place should be an excellent place for feng shui. With this history, the people are proud of the village, which has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. These villages have a long history and simple folk customs. Surrounded by other villages around Guxianzhi, it is as enjoyable as the suburbs of Gyeonggi Province.
In the east of this ancient county, there is a village called Jia Peng. Pengjia Village was originally built on both sides of a river ditch from north to south. Peng Zu is the ancestor of Pengjia Village. Legend has it that at the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang coveted immortality and sent someone to steal the secret of Peng Zu's immortality. In order to monopolize this technology, he plotted to kill Peng Zu. In order to avoid disaster, Peng Zu traveled all over the world. Look at Pengjia Village, which is close to Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort Scenic Area. Fairy clouds linger all the year round. Also close to Shangdang county, the environment is elegant, partial but not eccentric, so I settled in the east of Donggu county. There have been two limerick poems in the local area: Peng's family has no king, and Lang's family has no Yang. This is probably mostly because of its homophonic and historical origin. Peng Xie basin, king crab bowl, basin cover bowl. Xie Yangyang, wolves are the natural enemies of sheep. Peng escaped the chase and drifted away from him. Peng surname and the royal family are not adjacent in the village, and they are diametrically opposite. In real life, Pengjia Village has a large population of Peng surname, while Wang Xing has a small population.
My wife was born in the Wang family in Pengjiacun. Her grandfather died earlier, and her grandmother was widowed at the age of 36. Grandma raised her father-in-law, his brother and two sisters. A woman dragged her four children and lived a hard life in a remote place far from the village. In order to get close to the villagers in the village, we put a stone mill and a plate of stone mill in a small earth kiln. We hope that through this method of helping others, the villagers in the village will come here to crush corn, millet and other food crops, gather popularity, and let them also get the favor and help of those big families in the village. Father-in-law and eldest brother are very helpless, because they have lost their father since childhood. The children of the poor took over early. They encouraged each other and left their hometown by joining the army and going to school respectively.
After many ups and downs in life, in the ninth year of marriage, the husband and wife helped each other with a pole and carried all their belongings on their shoulders, leading their children out of their hometown and into the city.
According to the life experience of his father-in-law's family, the villagers nearby briefly summarized their family history: relying on others to string eaves under the fence, enduring humiliation and running around. Save money to raise children, build houses after three repairs and five moves. He tried his best to be filial and coaxed Jingjiro. Huifeng is friendly and respectful to her neighbors and has won the popularity of her hometown.
After 50 years of hard work, the three daughters and one son under my father-in-law can be described as successful. Today, the eldest daughter and the second daughter work in the financial and industrial departments of Changzhi City respectively. After graduating from college, the youngest daughter and son worked in a listed company and Tongren Hospital in the capital Beijing. Nephews and nieces, nieces and nephews, law-abiding, loyal. It runs in the family, happiness.
I came to Pengjiaxin Village, where my village has been relocated. Under the guidance of my people and villagers, I stopped and wandered in front of the three-hole earthen kiln where my father-in-law, grandmother, uncle and aunt once lived.
The earthen kiln was built under the 20-meter-high east cliff. Three holes are manually drilled along the cliff bank. Usually sit in the east-west direction. The largest and most luxurious cave is only 3 meters long, and at best it is only 12 square meters. There are only some bricks on the stove of the whole cave, which can be described as an earthen kiln with few bricks and few tiles. The two-hole earthen kilns add up to only 22 square meters. The smallest cave has only about 6 square meters of space, a stone mill and a plate of stone mills, which are the most luxurious assets of my father-in-law's family. The courtyard under the earth cliff has no walls and gates, and its shape is quite irregular, which can be regarded as a long crescent moon. The widest part of the yard is 5 meters at most, and under the yard is a big ditch with a depth of 6-7 meters. There used to be five big apricot trees with different tastes in the yard. On the east cliff where the cave is located, there are many jujube branches on the ditch bank next to the yard. Whenever the sun crosses the East Cliff, under the red sun, apricot trees are fragrant, and their shadows are swaying, emitting thousands of rays of sunshine. The couple took Qi Mei as an example, and they were very happy. Xinger was drunk by the branches of apricot trees. When the magpie climbed the branches and the stone mill sang, his face turned red. For decades, chorus has been like a drum and rhyme like a piano. Piano and sound, conjugal love.
My father-in-law used to be the director of two bureaus in the county for many years, and he was a "big official" in the impression of the people in Shiliba Village in this area. During his tenure, whenever villagers asked him for help, he always gave them whatever they wanted, tried his best, and tried his best to relieve their worries. For decades, it has won the reputation of the people.
For a long time, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been taking care of each other, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is better than that of mother. She teaches her husband and children, and her husband sings with her. Be kind and tolerant to children and neighbors. The villagers and workmates who worked with her all gave thumbs up and praised her when talking about her.
I remember that my wife and I had problems after we got married. I thought my parents-in-law would punish me severely. But the two elders did not severely criticize me, but severely criticized and punished my weak wife. This incident touched me a lot when I was young and frivolous. Now, I am no longer confused and want to know my destiny. Engaged in personnel management for a long time, learning personnel, doing personnel, managing personnel and knowing personnel. Parents-in-law, as our respected elders, undoubtedly set a banner in the marriage life of our younger generation. It is the realm we should pursue and an example for us to learn.
This is the golden wedding of two old people. I will present a humble song to congratulate them on their golden wedding and cherish this family celebration day forever:
Chibi reflects the sunshine and emits the summer light.
Earth kiln stone grinds apricot yellow,
Tianchi, a mountainous town,
Harp, harp and singing.
