Elm bay comprehensive building

You have just come from our hometown, and we must understand the world.

A poem "Jujube Tree" reminds me of my hometown: the jujube tree in my hometown/the old house I lived with/how many childhood memories I have/the road I walked/when I left home/ ..................................................................................................................

Whenever I listen to these songs about my hometown full of childhood memories, I can't help but feel attached and yearning for home.

Starting from Yuzhong County, the 3 12 National Road goes southeast, passes through villages and towns, passes through Triangle City, Qingshui Station and Gancaodian, and goes straight to Gaoya. In Gaoya Town, there are vast and continuous mountains ahead, which is the gateway to remote mountainous areas. The fork in the road in front of Gaoya Cement Plant is divided into two parts: one is westward, passing Xinying Town along s309 Provincial Highway to Lintao County; On the other hand, it goes southwest along x 125 County Road, crosses Shuijiapo Street and crosses two gaps (Shuijiapo Gap and Shuiquanwan Gap) to reach Longquan Township Government.

Luozitan Village, bordering Yinchuan Village in the north, Yangwan Village (anding district, Dingxi City) in the south, Huazhaizi Village in the east and Lijiacha Village in the west, is one of the twelve villages in Longquan Township. Located at the southern end of Longquan Township, the terrain is dominated by mountains and gullies. Typical two mountains are sandwiched by a ditch. The road connecting the village and the countryside is a gravel road that stretches for ten miles. Go down the slope in front of the convenience market in Longquan Township (formerly Longquan Nursing Home) and go south along Shashi Road. The first fork in the road is the Sizui Society in Yinchuan Village, and Yinchuan Primary School is located in the open space in Potou. Go ahead and you will reach the fork of Dawannao and Pigeon Fork. This is the boundary of Yinchuan village. The landmark building of the boundary is Pigeon Bifa Dam, which is located beside the river. This is an open-air dam. Go further and you will reach the border of Mule Beach, and there is a fork in the road ahead. There are seven production teams in the village, among which elm bay is one.

I still remember the jingle that I often remembered when I was a child: elm bay has mountains and there is a Ma Fuhan sitting in the middle. Eat all the stars at night (reading the show, the locals call the stars for the night). The eaves are lined with water and there are gaskets on the back. The person who made up this jingle is now in his twilight years, and many past events have become dust. Few people can remember it unless it is specifically mentioned.

At that time, there was no developed mechanical labor, and it was entirely manual labor of human and animal power. In our young memory, the hawker bear is the only person in the village who can bring joy. Every time a peddler walks into our small mountain village carrying goods, it will immediately render a lively atmosphere. It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, but it's cool to talk and laugh.

At that time, there was a lack of TV at home, and I always followed my mother to the neighbor's house with TV to watch TV every night. At that time, people were simple and kind, and their hosts greeted them every night. A small room that is not spacious is crowded with people who are all staring at the TV. When you see an emotional place, you will laugh happily or exchange a few words in a low voice, for fear that loud voices will affect others.

There were no ready-made toys at that time. Every weekend, friends get together and play wildly, and often forget to go home. I didn't know it was time to go home until the adults shouted or scolded.

…………

In recent years, I have been working hard outside for a long time, and the number of times I go home is counted as a handful. Every time I get close to my hometown, I feel indescribable excitement and joy. It used to be like this, but now it is more like this, and I think it will be more like this in the future. I have more urgent expectations for this small mountain village where I once lived. I don't know whether it's emotion or nostalgia for my hometown, but my blood is full of longing for my hometown day and night. I know going back is only temporary.

My home is here, my roots are here, on the Loess Plateau.

Nowadays, in this barren mountain village, the first batch of new villages in Luozitan Village have taken root here, and brand-new houses have sprung up neatly and regularly. The desolate scene of the past no longer exists. Walking in this new rural model, I am both happy and sad. Undoubtedly, this is the beginning of an era and the luck of an era. Over the years, we have really felt the ardent concern of the party and the government. We have to admit that we have indeed become the lucky ones in life and lived a life that our ancestors and parents never expected. And our grandparents, throughout their lives, have never enjoyed such a convenient life today.
