But what makes me more proud is that Xiaohong, like me, has a deep burning feeling of loving her hometown.
I remember in the past, I often told Xiaohong at home that Teru Shimada Tou Village in Nansan is our hometown and our root. Although my grandfather's generation was forced by life a long time ago, they came to live in Guangzhou Bay West Cinema from the rural areas of Nansan Island and settled here, but we will eventually go back to Tiantou Village. Xiaohong pondered for a long time, and then said to me, Dad, I feel strange about Tiantou Village, but I will go back with you one day. From then on, hometown, such a meaningful word, was deeply remembered in Xiaohong's heart. Sometimes, Xiaohong calls me Tian Tou guy, and I call him Tian Tou boy. That's what we are. You smiled at each other and gave a happy and carefree laugh.
Xiaohong is still in junior high school. I once told him that I wanted to go back to Tiantou Village with you another day. Xiaohong listened, stared at me with bright eyes and said, OK, let me know about Tiantou Village, let me know about it. So, I chose a weekend and took Xiaohong back to Tiantou Village.
Speaking of it, although I am from Tiantou Village, I was not born in the village, and I have never lived here, let alone studied here. So I know very little about Tiantou Village, and I don't even know the general direction and trend of Tiantou Village. Taking this opportunity to go back to the village, I also want to make up lessons and take my son around Tiantou Village to increase some sensory knowledge. Under the guidance of an elder in the village, Xiaohong and I entered from the entrance of the village and walked all the way from the south to the north of the village, almost a kilometer away. I didn't expect Tiantou village to be distributed in strips, running north and south, nearly one kilometer long. There are really many rules and regulations in the village. No wonder it is the largest village in the South Three Islands. In fact, we came to the north of the village, not the end of Tiantou Village. Further north of the village, there is a small village called Shamutong, which also moved from the North House of Tiantou Village. There is the end of Tiantou Village. At that time, Wen Xizu moved from Techeng Island to Nansan Island and settled here. He just divided his six sons into three rooms, living in the south, middle and north of Tiantou Village, and each room was divided into two branches, called the upper branch and lower branch of the south room, the upper branch and lower branch of the middle room and the upper branch and lower branch of the north room, so that they could have children and develop freely. Wen Xizu never imagined that there would be such a large-scale village in Tiantou Village today, and descendants would thrive. This is how our father and son wandered around the village, listening to the elders in the village telling the history of Tiantou Village and feeling the changes and development of Tiantou Village in the past 600 years. It still sounds delicious. This time I returned to Tiantou Village and left a deep impression on Xiaohong's mind.
Later, with the passage of time, whenever there is an opportunity, even when I want to go back to sweep the mountains, I often take Xiaohong back to Tiantou Village to have a look. Although there has been no ancestral home in the village for a long time, we still have a deep nostalgia for our hometown and can't forget it. In Xiao Hong's view, although the ups and downs of history have ruthlessly beaten our ancestors' past years and let us fall from a well-off family, the vicissitudes and early death of our ancestors made me almost ignorant of the old things of that year. However, after all, all these have passed and become our helpless memories.
At this point, my feelings are profound, and there is always a faint sadness in my heart. But what I didn't expect was that this incident left a deep imprint on Xiaohong's mind.
On September 5th, Chen Geng, a grand ceremony was held in Tiantou Village. Nearly 5,000 guests from the cultural departments of the city, district and town, as well as villagers from four towns and eight neighborhoods, gathered here to attend the completion ceremony of the renovation of Chen Xiaozong in Tiantou Village, a cultural relic protection unit of Zhanjiang Municipal People's Government. On this day, I took Chuanchuan and Xiaohong back to Tiantou Village with my parents to participate in this activity, which gave Xiaohong a deeper understanding of the history of Tiantou Village. As the main planner of the event, I made an impromptu speech at this celebration ceremony with the trust and entrustment of the villagers. Starting with the history of Chen Xiaozong, I tell the heroic history of the ancestors of Tiantou Village who struggled hard for more than 300 years to defend their country, especially highlighting the heroic feat of my seventeenth ancestor, Chen Shangchuan, the general manager of Gao, Lei and Lian in the Ming Dynasty, who fought against the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, emigrated overseas and made important contributions to the diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam. My eloquent impromptu speech won warm applause from all the villagers. Xiaohong listened clearly in the audience, and he memorized many of my speeches.
After coming back, my father and son sometimes chat, and Xiao Hong often makes me happy by casually saying a few words of my speech with the accent of Nansan dialect. Finally, he asked Chuanchuan's mother to comment and see if what he said was true. Seeing Xiaohong's naughty and innocent appearance, I feel Xiaohong is really cute. Xiao Hong, in fact, he has been deeply influenced by me, and this influence is reflected in the subtle influence. I am really happy with Xiaohong's understanding. Some people say that if a person wants to make a difference, he must first start with love. If he doesn't even have love, how can he work hard and struggle? This statement should be reasonable. Yes, a person should cultivate a kind of love from an early age, and this kind of love means loving the motherland, the people, the hometown, relatives and friends, working hard for the prosperity of the motherland and making unremitting efforts for the revitalization of the hometown! I think if a person cultivates this noble feeling from an early age, it will certainly be more beneficial to his future growth. From Xiaohong's dragon hometown, I saw his fiery love. Love is infinite, love is priceless!
Xiaohong lives in a happy environment every day, immersed in the care of our fists and growing up happily. Although there are occasional naughty things or actions, they always converge quickly and stop. He is growing not only in figure, but also in wisdom and thought, which always makes Chuanchuan and I feel gratified and proud.
Xiaohong's tense high school life is finally over. What followed was what people called Black June-he had to fight for the college entrance examination that decided his life. Fortunately, after some efforts, Xiaohong finally got the results of the college entrance examination. He was admitted to a university in Guangzhou, majoring in applied English. After the college entrance examination, in order to relax her nervous scalp, Xiao Hong will take her brother Zhong Yaoqing and her good classmate Liang Xiaozhe back to Nansantou Village, saying that she would go to the countryside to work and fertilize and weed the flowers and plants in his 700-square-meter garden. I think it's a good proposal, so I called my cousin Xin Ge and my cousin Chen De in Abel Tamata Head Market to ask them to make proper arrangements.
Xiaohong took her brother Yao Qing and her classmate Xiaozhe all the way across the sea the next day, and then transferred to a taxi. In less than half an hour, she soon returned to Tiantou Village. Back to his house and garden, Xiaohong took Yao Qing and Xiaozhe out of our only sundry room and took out hoes and iron poles. Soon, he devoted himself to happy work, weeding, fertilizing and watering occasionally. In his spare time, Yao Qing did not forget to take photos with his digital camera and record the real scenes of their work and play here. Finally, they came to the small clan of Chen in the village, paid tribute to the statues of Chen Shangchuan and other ancestors, lingered in the ancestral hall for a long time, immersed in deep meditation. They feel the ups and downs of this 300-year history. In addition, Xiao Hong also took Yao Qing and Xiaozhe to the Bihai Yinsha Beach on the east coast of Nansan Island to enjoy themselves, releasing the youthful and passionate soul. Between the sea and the blue sky, in the agitation of the waves and the deep call of Lin Tao, they chase and play in the sea, happy, carefree and unrestrained, and their youthful smiles are scattered between the blue sky and the blue sea. Oh, what a wonderful and moving chart it is.
There is a cloud floating gently in the blue sky. On the undulating coastline of Lin Tao, three young teenagers wrote down their youthful feelings in today's storm in Nansan Island, between the blue sky and the earth. Oh, Mishima, you wrote down this wonderful moment, but now you are reading their wordless words.
Homesickness is long and love is infinite; A child's feelings can be known from heaven and earth. What is love in the world? Ask heaven and earth, where is love? Today's Xiao Hong, Yao Qing and Xiao Zhe, their stirring hearts, love Nansan, love Nansan!
