? After the census these days, I came to the grasshopper pond. After dinner, everyone likes to put white, some are too vulgar, some are yellow, and it is always difficult to write it down. Only a "good news" story told by the central school teacher interested me, and I recorded it as follows.
It is said that more than 40 years ago, there was a young man named Gu Shan in Gujiacun, aged 20. On the opposite mountain, he met Gao Mei, a 18-year-old girl from Gaojia Dapingzi. After a period of communication, the two young people hit it off and began to talk about marriage. First we got engaged, and then we spent some time together. The two families changed their words, saw an auspicious day, and put on a big banquet. Gao Mei married from Gaojia Dapingzi Formation in Madutang to Gujiacun Formation in Liujiashan Village opposite Shanliang, and became Gu Shan's daughter-in-law.
At the beginning of their marriage, the young couple were filial to their parents-in-law, respected and loved each other, and lived a very loving life. Soon, Gao Mei became pregnant, conceived in October and gave birth to a daughter smoothly.
? According to the custom, Gu Shan will go to the old father-in-law's house to report good news. The woman will take a rooster and the man will take a hen. The father-in-law's family will also match a pair as a gift, so that the son-in-law can take it back to Geely and prepare the full moon wine.
? Gaos thought Dapingzi and Gujiacun said it was not far, but it was not. The village is located face to face halfway up the mountain, separated by a ditch, with rivers and fields, and a narrow road to grow crops and visit relatives to connect the two groups. From here to there, it is a shortcut to go down from the village to the ditch, wade across a small river and climb to the opposite half of the mountain. 40 years ago, there was little land reclamation, deep forests and grass, and thorns everywhere. The mountain road is really difficult to walk, and the other roads are too circuitous and unfeasible.
The living and production conditions at that time were extremely simple. These two villages have no electricity or access, and there are no telephones or mobile phones. As the saying goes, "communication depends on yelling, and traffic depends on walking." The linear distance between the two villages is only one or two kilometers. The roar was inaudible, so they had to walk to announce the good news.
It is a happy event that rural people pay attention to etiquette and add more people, which can not be ignored. Gu Shan's young man has great strength. The joy of giving birth to a daughter made him hug a big rooster, carry boiled red eggs, and quickly walk down the hill to the opposite Gaojia Dapingzi.
? This is the season when autumn tigers are raging, and the temperature is too high. At first, Gu Shan was as fast as flying, but soon he was sweating and panting, and his steps became slower and slower, making it difficult to walk to the opposite foot.
? As the saying goes, "it's easier to go down than up." Seeing that there are still hundreds of meters to climb the mountain road, Gu Shan, who is hot and tired, can only find a shady place and put down the rooster to have a rest. ? I didn't expect to be too tired. I just took a nap as soon as I sat down, which was only three or five minutes. When I opened my eyes, the rooster had disappeared. It turned out that I don't know when the red rope tied to the chicken's feet was loose and the rooster ran into the forest. Gu Shan glance left and right, but always disappeared, so he had to come to his father's in-laws empty-handed and dejectedly.
The old father-in-law complained about others and taught him to be frustrated. Fortunately, the old woman is still sensible and bitter. Although her heart is not flashy, she caught a hen laying eggs according to etiquette, tied her feet with red ropes and told him to bring them back.
? While walking, Gu Shan regretted it and unconsciously came to the place where he had just rested. Suddenly, he had a brainwave and thought of an indigenous method, which is also a dead horse!
He tied the hen to the tree with a red rope so that it could walk freely and not run away. He hides in the forest, slaps the chicken's back with branches, and the opposite sex attracts each other, hoping to lure the rooster fleeing in the forest with the hen's cry.
Gu Shan is very patient. He patted the branch slowly and beat it tightly. The hen's "cough-cough-cough" voice is also high and low, floating among the trees. Soon, there was movement in the forest. The lost rooster walked out of the forest with measured steps and kissed me with a hen. At this point, Gu Shan was very excited. He approached the rooster carefully, blocked left and right, and finally caught the rooster again.
The feeling of getting it back made Gu Shan very excited, and his steps were as light as flying. After returning home, he chatted with his family cheerfully, and his family was surprised. After the story spread, it quickly became the talk of people around it and lasted for a long time.
? Except that Gu Shan and Gao Mei's names are pseudonyms, it is true and there is no exaggeration. At that time, Gao Meisheng's daughter was over 40 years old. She was both surprised and proud to talk about the fact that her father Gu Shan went to grandpa's house to "report good news" when she was born.
? In the afternoon 10: 30, foguliangzi recorded.
