A good neighbor is a relative from a previous life.

During the Qingming period, I went home to pay homage to my ancestors, took advantage of the April day on earth, and thoroughly experienced the feeling of being suppressed by city life for a long time in the cool breeze on the hills, and thus enjoyed the colorful spring scenery.

When staying in Shan Ye, people are always easily moved by the scenery. A grass, a wild flower or even a ray of sunshine can evoke childhood memories, and then linger in simple happiness to chew the beauty of time.

Especially when I went to the grave of Mao, I found a large area of wormwood under the tea tree. I couldn't help but bow my head and cut it off one by one, as if to capture the past years.

I remembered the fun of doing youth league with my mother and sister when I was a child, and the fragments of life in which the neighbors lived in harmony around the Qingshiban alley in my hometown.

It's true that good neighbors are relatives who have been repaired in previous lives.

At that time, my hometown was a very large village, with the mountain on one side and the sea on the other. It had a real artistic conception of facing the sea and blooming in spring. The people in the village were very simple, both farming and fishing in the sea.

In the alley where we live, there are more than a dozen families, whose parents are similar in age and their children are similar in age.

Xu got married at about the same age, gave birth to a child, and lived together for many years. In my impression, their relationship is like that of brothers and sisters. They respect and love each other and help each other.

So this is a loving alley. The relationship between neighbors is particularly good, and the friendship between children is particularly pure. It is the kind of love that is hard to meet again when traveling through the urban reinforced concrete jungle.

At that time, although there were few materials and little money, the world was very rich, and there might be few icing on the cake, but there would never be a lack of warmth.

People here, whether young or old, always greet each other warmly and greet each other politely. They always stand up without saying anything when someone needs help. When night falls, they always sit in the alley and have a good chat together. They will talk about the growth of vegetables in the field and the harvest of fish, shrimp and shells in the sea.

Sometimes, when there are no children present, we will play a few jokes about husband and wife, and then talk about who has done the most bear things among our children.

people who live here have a feeling that no matter how cold it is in winter, it is as warm as spring in March when everyone gets together, so the alley is also called warm alley.

I think it's also such a season. In the Qingming rain, the hostess of each family will take her children to the nearby fields to pick all kinds of wild vegetables, and she is also most keen on picking some wormwood home, or drying it in the sun to make medicine or steaming it in the kitchen fire to make snacks.

At that time, the alley will be filled with the aroma of mugwort leaves and the smell of fragrant rice flour steamed in a hot pot, and then someone will move out a few tables and chairs and put them in an open space for everyone to sit down in pairs, grab a handful of Huang Cancan pine flowers in their hands, sprinkle them on the table, and make steaming green balls with their skillful hands.

Grandmothers and grandfathers nearby will also hear the sound, leaning on crutches and laughing at children's frolicking.

In the evening, smoke rises from the chimneys, and soon all kinds of dishes, including seafood and crops, will be put on the table.

Our young children are always sent by their mothers to send the extra cooked food to the nearby neighborhood, and every time they send it, they will bring back some delicious food accordingly.

This time is very similar to the scene in the Korean drama Please Answer 1988, and the friendly relationship between several neighbors living in Shuangmendong Alley.

like deshan family, good at home, Zhenghuan family, Aze family and giant salamander family, the interpretation of loving each other is as warm as the years.

it's not relatives who win, but relatives.

When I came back from the grave-sweeping, my aunts and I also picked a lot of wormwood, and then called my aunt and asked her to make a youth league together.

During the production process, all the neighbors came to help, some helped to watch the heat, some made green balls in a stone mortar, some sat around the table and rubbed shapes, and some pressed semi-finished products into round green balls on the table covered with pine flowers.

In the mottled sunshine of the bluestone wall, the softest time in my memory is hidden.

During this period, my sister asked me: Sister, why did so many neighbors come to help us when we were doing the Youth League?

Besides, we are my aunt's nieces, and they are my aunt's neighbors, and we are not familiar with them. The one who plays youth league in the stone mortar does all the manual work of hammering, but why do you want to help? It's really simple enthusiasm.

I say this is mutual affection. No one has nothing to do but rush to do things after eating. It is nothing more than the accumulated neighborhood relationship and love me, love my dog and help me.

It is the integration of years after living together, and it is also the true meaning of the sentence that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is more like the tacit understanding after decades of companionship, and the gestures are far better than the feelings of many close relatives.

I have lived in the city for more than ten years, and my relatives in my hometown have asked me many times: How do you get along with your neighbors?

Is it possible to live in a whole building for several years as others say, and I don't know who lives across the hall?

To tell the truth, there was a time when I just graduated and rented an internship in a residential building for more than two years. Indeed, people upstairs and downstairs couldn't tell what they looked like, let alone love each other. Sometimes when I saw someone in the aisle, I just smiled politely at each other, and more often passed by.

being strange and far away, like a cold winter day, makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

But then I moved to another place, got married and had children. Fortunately, I met my childhood neighbor again.

especially my opposite, Sister Qin's family. We are similar in age and personality, and there are always endless topics.

In the past few years, I have never had a red face or a small friction, but I have cared for each other and helped my neighbors, which made me relive all the good memories of the word "neighbor" at the beginning of my childhood.

Sister Qin's husband loves to raise orchids, and his balcony is full of them. He loves them as much as his life, but he sends his favorite pot to my house. Every time I come back from my mother's house, I always like to bring some little seafood for them to taste.

The children of the two families also get along very well. Nowadays, children have very few playmates. After closing the door, they become friends with TV flat screens everywhere, unlike when we were young, we have more horizon and groups of playmates.

For this reason, we have a good relationship with our neighbors, and inadvertently found a partner for our children to play with whenever they want, adding a lot of happiness to their childhood.

Some time ago, I was chatting with my friend Xiaomi, and she said that there was something that had been stuck in my heart for a long time.

Before, she and her neighbor M had a little friction because of putting things in the public domain. Later, when two cars met unpleasantly in the parking lot, they had a little opinion. Finally, they became strangers who didn't like to say hello when they met.

Xiaomi said: At that time, I really didn't want to meet this neighbor's hostess, as if I owed her tens of millions, and I always had a bad face.

and I'm upset about a few small things.

Until one day, when Xiaomi came back from working overtime at work, there was a heavy rain on the road, and she was soaked to the skin without an umbrella.

shivering with cold, I got on the elevator. When I opened the door, I found that I had left my key at work. After knocking hard, I remembered that there was no one at home that night.

A whole person sat at the door and called her husband. At this moment, it was M across the hall. The woman who looked at her coldly handed her a cup of hot ginger tea and a dry towel to let Xiaomi wipe her hair. Finally, when she saw Xiaomi shivering with cold, she simply pulled her into the house to take a shower and put on her clothes.

Xiaomi said: I didn't expect that the neighbor's help was the most considerate at the critical moment, which saved her from catching a cold and getting sick, but it was a bit embarrassing to think of her mind before.

these days, I've always wanted to pay a formal visit to thank her and buy her a bunch of flowers by the way, but when I think of those awkward frictions, I'm afraid others will be ungrateful.

ask my opinion, should I?

I said, go ahead. When she gave you a hot towel of ginger tea and told you to take a shower and put on her clothes, it was already over. After all, you are still neighbors, the easiest people to see after opening the door, and the most accessible warmth when something happens.

I'll call Xiaomi later. She said that she was learning to arrange flowers and bake at her neighbor's house. Call me back later if you have nothing to do.

I mean, what contradiction can't be resolved, just a concession.

She said that she had heard your story about Liuchi Lane.

In fact, the story tells that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying, the prime minister of the dynasty, and an assistant minister named Ye, both of whom lived next to each other, had a dispute over land.

At that time, Mrs. Zhang wrote a book in Beijing and asked Zhang Ying to intervene.

after all, the prime minister is knowledgeable. After reading the letter, he immediately wrote a poem to persuade the old lady: "A letter from a thousand miles away is just a wall. Why not let him be three feet?" The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, and I don't see Qin Shihuang. "

when Zhang mu saw the book, she immediately took the initiative to back off the wall by three feet. Ye Jia was deeply ashamed when he saw this scene, and immediately gave the wall back three feet.

In this way, a six-foot-wide roadway was formed between the courtyard walls of Zhang Ye's house and became a famous "six-foot alley".

yes, it is inevitable that there will be some small frictions between neighbors, so that one step can make the sea empty and the sky empty, and the next step can make friendship last forever. Sometimes it is really the predestination that can make neighbors in this life.

Later, every time I recall this story, I will feel a lot: it's really a struggle, it won't work; Excuse me, Liuchi Lane.

Xiaomi is going to Chiang Mai, Thailand on the eve of Qingming Festival. Originally, she was with her cousin, but later she changed to M. She said that M was better for chatting and playing together.

In this way, a good neighbor is a kinship forged in a previous life, and the closest friend in a lifetime.

Proverbs say: Without wood, you can't afford a house, and you can't live without neighbors.

as far as I'm concerned, in those years, if I didn't grow up with the warm hearts of my neighbors in the alley, maybe I don't have such good warmth hidden in my heart now.

but Xiaomi wouldn't suddenly understand that the nearest friend relationship is the neighborhood relationship if he hadn't experienced the cold outside the door in the rain, and after the warmth given by M.

A good neighbor in this world is like spreading a layer of silky honey on baked bread, which is sweet and nourishing the stomach.

Perhaps only those who have infiltrated the daily necessities can deeply understand the truth.

Like a spring breeze, it blows the earth, bathes the strange and lonely heart in the warm spring sunshine, and nourishes the joy of life.

like evergreen vines winding for a long time, it builds a bridge between people's hearts and unites lonely strength and strength, and subtly gives birth to something lively and fragrant in seemingly ordinary days.

Later, in the relationship that relatives are not better than family ties, flowers bloom and bear fruit, which is a heart full of flowers after the years are quiet.

In the end, it's the blessings gained in previous lives that make the neighborhood relationship, and there's also mutual affection from generation to generation.
