Shed a lot of tears. My mother only gave birth to me, and I deeply feel that the only child is not good: there is no one to share the sorrow. In order to divert your thoughts as much as possible, please feel free to record something in the thread-bound book.

When biologist Su was in Tomb-Sweeping Day last year, she personally sent cypress and osmanthus saplings and planted them in my mother's grave. Brother Su looked up and down, looked left and right, and said, "Brother, there should be more than 4,000 kinds of creatures in a square kilometer." Think about it. How many can I name? The ancients said that if you want to learn, you have to travel and study. In fact, the knowledge at home has reached the edge.
The two cypress trees in front of the grave are lifeless, which makes sense: one is at the back door of the house, and the other is in the direction of the road-two trees can't "get in the way".
Sue is the stationmaster of the provincial plant protection station. He also served as deputy county magistrate during my temporary appointment in Hanyin. As soon as we talked, he turned out to be an alumnus of Northwest University, majoring in biology, nearly ten grades lower than me. His postgraduate degree was studied at Northwest Agricultural University. People are sunny and handsome. He asked me to talk about literature, and I dragged him to the fields and Woods and asked him the secrets of nature. Play chess in your spare time. Back in Xi 'an, we met occasionally and often exchanged information. At one time, I seldom stewed radish myself. After cutting the radish, I sent a letter asking Brother Su, "Is the radish a vegetable or a fruit?" He replied: "if you eat it as a vegetable, it is a vegetable;" If you eat it as a fruit, it is a fruit. "

There is a big tarpaulin at the door, which can cover four square tables. Chef Ying Songdi, like Fan Wei, has a round head and a round brain. When there are few people, the meals are cooked by Sun Junfeng and Xie's two sisters-in-law. Brother Ying comes to help every day. He is a retired headmaster, enthusiastic about public welfare and quick to speak, so he was promoted to the "Fang clan leader" in Xikou Town, Zhen 'an County. Clean up electrical appliances, handle disputes, preside over weddings and funerals, and be good at everything.
Our place is called Cheng Jiachuan, and there are only two in our ancestors. One is our Anlingzi Fang Jia, and the other is Fang Jia in Lizigou, Shangchuan. Both families are from Hubei, and their blood relationship is said to be not far. Because they are two miles apart, they have been close relatives of each other. Fang Ying brothers in Lizigou helped me a lot. He is four years older than me, and I played with him when I was a child. He has been teaching nearby, and I work in other places. As long as there is something at home, what medicine does mom buy when she is sick, the house leaks and needs to be renovated, and the telephone and TV are broken ... My mom sends him a message or calls him, and he always arrives immediately and implements it quickly. He has never been so filial to his mother!
The Fang clansmen who came to pay homage mainly included Yingdai, Yinggang Yingfeng, Yinghu, Yingcheng and Yingping Yingquan. Most of them have jobs and their time is not on weekends, so they all take vacations.
Liu Mingde, the second brother-in-law, complained that his son was fooling around at home in the United States, and his son was admitted to Xi 'an University of Science and Technology in the college entrance examination. She said that her major had no future, so she had to resign and retake the exam next year. "At that time, the family was like a dead man!" Everyone criticized the British Rightists with one voice. The college entrance examination is like taking a bus. Who can guarantee that you can get on the bus and get on a better bus after re-reading?

I breastfed for three years. Grandparents, parents and people nearby all criticized the mother: Look what you spoil your son! Mom said: There is no milk again. Let him play if he wants. Half a month before my mother died, in my study "Cainantai", she leaned on the sofa and was accidentally photographed by me. It turned out to be the last photo of my mother. This photo shows her white hair, kindness and softness, and shows the true nature of her mother! Because my mother is a woman, she is tough all her life, and her voice is not high but she can speak eloquently. Of course, every word makes sense, and no one can beat her.
It's the third anniversary, time has passed, and there are tears in the grass.

Mother's third anniversary ceremony was presided over by her closest relatives and brother-in-law. From then on, Yin and Yang were completely separated. I used to sleep late when I came back, and I was called several times by my mother before I got up. Now, I must take care of myself. Get up early to clean the yard. Garbage is a problem, especially plastic bags. Chemists certainly contribute to human beings, but the pollution they cause can be said to be offset by merits and demerits, so it is better not to.

The moonlit night in my hometown makes people's five senses strangely resurrected, sensitive as a baby. The cuckoo's cry is a syllable of four words, "My son is wrong" and "My son is wrong". A stepmother killed her parents by mistake, and she repented and mourned the legend. The smell of vegetation, such as sake brewed by hermits. The breeze blows over the cheeks, and corn and reeds whisper eternal topics of usefulness and uselessness. The breeze in the moonlight is an excellent translator, which enables people, ghosts and gods to communicate without obstacles.

There are at least seven kinds of birds that sing in the morning, which sound different in personality. Except for a hoarse guy who seems to be scrambling to make trouble, it is crisp and beautiful, like dew hanging on the tip of Hollyleaf. Holly leaves are bigger than others, and it is the top grade of China pig grass. Picking, chopping and drying to mix coarse grains and concentrated feed in winter. The rope made from the skin of Chinese holly is strong and durable.
The sun is shining, the fog is light and the birds are singing sparsely. The prologue of the day began.

After my grandfather died, especially after I started working, I took my mother to the city every Spring Festival. But the locked door was still pasted with bright red couplets by my cousins. Only a few days later, the wind died down, and it was ugly. Now, I soak the rag in water and clean the lintel and door frame. Tell my cousins not to post Spring Festival couplets after the Spring Festival.
I am not afraid of big scenes, and I have dealt with them several times; But in my bones, I'm really tired of the noise.

If you think about my hometown, everyone who lives next to an ancient tree has an unspeakable upbringing in dealing with people, even if he can't read. It turns out that the ancient tree itself is a different kind of library. This big tree in my house, the big chestnut tree, has three times as big fruit as wild chestnuts, but twice as small as chestnuts. If it rains on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, grandma gets up early in the morning and picks up chestnuts that fall off naturally and are moist as jade under the tree. Lift a corner of the kang mat under the pillow and stuff it into the soft wheat straw. After a few days, the sweetness faded and the taste was extremely flexible and mellow. After walking five miles, its fragrance is still swirling between the lips and teeth.
Grandma prepared snacks for me as a child, which have been nutritious since then. My grandmother fasted all her life, but how sympathetic is my grandson? I was eight years old when she died, and my happy life ended.

The red cover of Shaanxi Junior High School Trial Textbook and Basic Knowledge of Agriculture is marked "printed in early September, 1972" on the copyright page, which should be the textbook of my second year. That is to say, after the Spring Festival, I read the textbook when I was a junior high school student. At that time, all the students enrolled in the spring were students, and there was no need to cross the year. Probably for peace of mind.
Basic knowledge of agriculture is a sub-course based on the geographical characteristics of Shaanxi and how to grow crops and raise corresponding poultry and livestock. The substitute teacher surnamed Jie, from the book, foaming at the mouth. He knows that I study well and I am excellent in Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry. I always insinuate in class. "Some students should not be cocky, and don't think that' if you learn math and physics well, you won't be afraid to travel all over the world!' ""When he said this, his eyes didn't look at me, but at other students. In a word, it is a sin for me to study hard, and he has the responsibility to warn and correct this sin. I still don't understand why. At that time, if the trouser leg, a muddy leg, was full of shit, or life was often embarrassing, there was a sense of pride. Even if he didn't study hard, he was still cocky and daunting.
Later, I heard that Mr. Xie switched to administration and became a township head. When grasping family planning, he went to his home to uncover tiles and died in his fifties.
"Basic Knowledge of Agriculture" was sealed into two volumes, with quotations from Chairman Mao as lace. There are four articles in it:
Our educational policy should enable the educated to develop morally, intellectually and physically and become educated workers with socialist consciousness.
The same is true of students, who focus on their studies and learn something else at the same time, that is, not only literature, but also industry, agriculture, the army and criticizing the bourgeoisie. The educational system should be shortened, education should be revolutionized, and the phenomenon of bourgeois intellectuals ruling our school can no longer continue.
Take grain as the key link and develop in an all-round way.
Agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry are interdependent and indispensable, and should be placed in the same position.
How to evaluate the education policy of * * *? Is there anything worth inheriting? When I retire, I will revisit this book when I come back. Tao Yuanming often asks for food, which may be related to his lack of professional knowledge in planting crops.

Fang's grandfather, the word lang ran, was poor. Although he studied in a private school for less than three years, he eventually became a famous doctor squire because of his love of learning. Therefore, I buy books as soon as I see them. There are many books at home. Most of them were burned during the Cultural Revolution. These five books were found in the sundries upstairs. One is "Ophthalmology Dragon Wood Theory", which contains prescription pages and grandpa's handwriting; The Book of Songs has three volumes and five volumes; One is the detailed explanation of The Analects of Confucius; The book that his father Fang had read was bitten by a mouse, so that he couldn't read the title clearly. Retired brother-in-law took a nap at home and read widely all his life. Wake him up and confirm his identity. He turned over two pages and immediately came to the conclusion: "Study in Qionglin".
My uncle Fang, a junior before the Cultural Revolution, traveled to the motherland in series and fell in love with a Sichuan woman once. He was well informed and read by countless people. He has a wild personality, many friends and a strange writing style. When my mother and my second uncle Jin were alive, my brother-in-law often watched The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although they are trivial matters, they are like class struggle. Faced with this situation, we British always don't help anyone and try our best to achieve peace.
But the second uncle came first and then went. After his mother died, his brother-in-law was completely different, and he was extremely "filial" to his brother and sister-in-law, which greatly moved his nephews.

The earliest impression in my memory is that grandpa's handwriting is very good. I also often hear people praise me. Of course, he wrote me a framework. But the lasting impression is that my grandfather writes prescriptions for patients with pens. Grandpa's dose is very small, and the medicine bag is the size of a fist. Just like the saying in calligraphy and painting reviews, "If you don't motivate yourself, the rules will be far away", so patients come from all directions.
Grandpa keeps reference news and anthologies on his desk all the year round. Once there were no patients, he began to study them carefully. The purpose of studying Mao Xuan is to find sentences that are conducive to defending himself, because he temporarily represented Guo Changbao for a period of time during the Republic of China. And there are more than 200 acres of land, with many long-term and short-term workers. But he knew the time and learned that the new society would divide the land, so he waved his sleeves in advance and abandoned them all.
Grandfather likes playing chess. One of my grandfather's chess friends is a barber in the street and a national worker who eats commodity grain. In order to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the barber came to play chess with grandpa with a dirty chess bag. The barber always said that grandpa was careless in playing chess, so the car could take a detour to eat his horse. Grandfather insisted that this was a straight road rather than a detour. So the barber lifted the chess list, put all the money in the dirty bag and left swearing. Grandpa kept smiling and didn't discourage him. Every other day, the barber came with a chess bag and a smile.
The weather is fine, and June 6 is another book-drying festival. Brother-in-law took the opportunity to print books and showed me Grandpa's handwriting: A Brief History of China Medicine and Anatomy and Physiology. Both books were carefully packaged by grandpa and then signed by himself on the cover. European characters are very handsome.

Grandparents gave birth to ten children and three died young. Boys line up for "weeks"; Girls "step on the word generation", that is, put the word last. Therefore, the elder sister Fang Songzhou, the second sister Fang America, the third sister Fang Jinzhou and the younger sister Fang Xuanzhou. My father, the eldest son, began to teach private schools at the age of fifteen (1947). Brothers and sisters are free; Foreign students pay for their tuition with food. They have tea, fire paper (used to absorb water smoke), candles and other teachers' supplies. When my father was sixteen years old, he wrote a picture to his third aunt, which was elegant and refreshing and very determined. However, several typos have not been corrected by the red circle. As for my handwriting, it's getting worse from generation to generation. It's pure calligraphy.

Nowadays, in rural areas, the ecological restoration is very good, and the land is barren and serious. The front door used to be a rice field, but later it was changed into a fish pond. Young and middle-aged people have gone to work in cities, and the fish pond has finally become a wetland, covered with reeds and bamboo poles. Zoysia japonica is also called Zoysia japonica, Zoysia japonica and brush pot grass. "Herbal Prescription" says that it can "ventilate and improve eyesight, benefit nine orifices, treat traumatic injuries, relieve cough and resolve phlegm". Sticky grass is a miniature version of bamboo, just like ducks miniature geese, cats miniature tigers, townships miniature governors-of course, it doesn't mean size.
Of course, there are many great things in the era of * * *, but there are also many puzzling places. For example, 80% of people get up early to see the dark, but everyone is hungry. Now, the people who farm the land have become a "minority", but there has been a scene of rice to open their mouths and rice to open their mouths.

After returning to my hometown for three years, the biggest surprise was to find the textbooks and extracurricular books that my father had read, as well as the paintings he wrote for his third aunt. I've never seen my father write calligraphy, that is, after graduating from high school, my father asked me to be a performance teacher beside him through contacts. During that one and a half years, I never saw him write in Chinese brush. Nothing!
I have some doubts. As long as I can remember, my father who taught in other places has divorced his mother. Neither my mother nor my uncle and aunt said anything about my father's calligraphy. Now, there may be two reasons. One is that they are not interested in calligraphy, and the other is that hard pen is popular. The revolutionary atmosphere and traditional culture at that time were denounced as decadent. Anyone who can hold a brush "two brushes" is either "smelly Laojiu" or "filial son and grandson of the exploiting class"-don't say brush, it is better not to mention it! Illiteracy, lout, that's a fashionable number.
Brother-in-law said, "Your uncle (father) likes to sleep late every time he comes back. Your father (grandfather) shouted: Zhou Yan! Zhou Yan, get up, get up and write a picture for your two brothers and Zhou Jin Zhou Long. Pay attention to being a teacher! "
It can be inferred that this grandfather in his forties thinks that his eldest son in his twenties has surpassed him and can be a model.
Brother-in-law casually said, "Your uncle wrote a calligraphy book and brought it back. Your mother often uses it to build a pickle jar with a stone on it."
My mother can read, and her pen is exquisite and neat, so she is particularly distressed by that paper. Every time she sees a newspaper mat, she will criticize and stop it on the spot. How can she cover the jar with calligraphy books? She is the only farmer in Fangjia. Is this to show her contempt for her husband's family?
