Wipe the winter sweat by the Wusuli River.

Winter on the Chahanwusu River

plum

Last time I mentioned the Dulan construction site, in fact, the concept of time in this paper is limited to the early winter from the construction site to 1 1 month.

It has just entered the early winter, and it is almost 1 1 5th of the month. The Chahanwusu River Bridge we built has finally completed the substructure, and the beam hollow slab has been hoisted. The workers have worked hard for a year, so it's time to call it a day and go home to rest. Several leaders of the project department decided to take care of me and stay on duty at the construction site for a short time. The guards on duty are actually ordering extra materials and machines.

The workers finally withdrew from the field and went home, and the quiet on both sides of the once lively Wusu River was restored. In fact, there is nothing serious about guarding the construction site. As long as there are no strangers in and out of the construction site and the property of the unit is not lost, it is safe.

As in the past, the Wusuli River is still flowing from east to west. The cold river is sparkling and crystal clear, and the stones at the bottom of the river are refracted by sunlight. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple are all particularly attractive and beautiful. My cousin and I used to look for a strange and beautiful stone by the river, but unfortunately we didn't meet a material that I couldn't put down.

Later, I heard a close literary friend say that stones, like people, pay attention to fate and opportunity. If there is a fate, it is futile to force them. That sounds Zen. Yes, there is a saying in "Clouds in Beijing": "If you hit it, you will definitely have it. Don't be forced if you don't fight. What is yours is yours, not what you insist. " It's not a trivial matter. It may hurt feelings. In fact, after careful understanding, everything in life does not follow this principle

There is nothing important to do at the construction site during the winter vacation, so you can have a good rest. Sitting in a house (actually a canvas tent), reading books, listening to a small radio, watching the sunset in the morning and evening, listening to the sound of the river flowing, and walking around the river in the afterglow of the sunset are also quite romantic and poetic.

Nothing, just wipe the sweat from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of Wusuli River. In winter, water crops, clear straws, pile ridges, and put cattle and sheep with straws. Although it is winter, farmers in Dulan are still busy. Han people once told me that I believe that ethnic minorities can't grow crops. Today, the situation in Dulan cropland suddenly changed my mind.

In fact, 1 1 month, ordinary people are not idle at all, and they are not as lonely and boring as they thought. I thought it was quite poetic at that time.

I was deeply impressed by the productive labor of the farmers in Dulan, which was very leisurely, romantic and picturesque. Tibetan compatriots are still grazing where there are no crops in the fields, and four-wheeled tractors have begun to plow the fields. Although their working methods are still primitive and their tools are still crude, they are still hardworking.

I don't mean to laugh at them here, because I used to be a good hand in the farmer's field, but now I have abandoned my farming skills for many years because of working. I feel sorry for a pair of farming hands. In addition, I feel that people who farm have always been so special and kind to themselves, and they have never been surprised.

There is a large area of Yang Shulin in front of the project department, which can be regarded as a windbreak belt on the edge of Dulan City. Poplar leaves have been blown away by the north wind, but the great image of representing the northwest people remains unchanged, and the positive spirit remains unchanged. There are two farmers living in Xitai Village. Their owner's name is Tashi They planted more than 30 acres of potatoes, more than 20 acres of wheat, and seven or eight acres of rapeseed. They also graze a flock of sheep and more than 20 cows. When they were too busy to give their wives a drink, they also hired two shepherds to help them. Tashi is a Tibetan who is good at life and has brains. He doesn't like the kung fu of herding sheep in the Woods. Sheep dung can be used as fertilizer, and cow dung can be used as fire in winter. Some Han people told me that the stoves burned by Tibetans are all cow dung, which is too dirty and smells bad. If you live on the grassland for half a year, you will understand the hardships of shepherds, and you will know why they use animal waste to burn stoves. The grassland is short of water, and I want to plant a tree every time. That's something that can't be done for decades or even years, so there aren't many branches in the forest for you to burn. Buy hundreds of kilometers of coal and carbon, and the fuel burned on the way back and forth is not even as good as a sheep. Do you still want to buy? Therefore, Tibetan compatriots are the people who can live best!

When I woke up, it finally snowed heavily in Dulan, from Chaka to Xiaha, from Xiaha to Dulan County, from Xiangride to Yingde Sheep Farm, from Dulan to Nomuhong, along the 109 National Road, Xitai Village in Dongtai Village, both ends of Mohan Wusu River Bridge and both sides of the river, but the snow covered all crops and farmland, covering the whole grassland, and cattle and sheep had entered. Everyone went back to the house, boiled milk tea by the fire, played cards, sang songs and chatted for the winter.

At the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, a lot of snow fell along the Erhan Wusuli River, and the weather was very cold. The ice layer under the Erhan Wusuli River Bridge we built is almost one and a half meters high at the highest time, and the temperature can reach about MINUS 30 degrees at the lowest time. That winter, there was a snowstorm in the south. Every day, there was news in the walkie-talkie that Chenzhou, Hunan Province was in an emergency and many heroes died because of deicing high-voltage power lines. I was listening. I was on the Erhanwusu River. The whole Erhan Wusuli River is covered with heavy snow, like a black line, dancing and winding, full of poetry. Looking at Erhan Wusuli River, I think of the Yangtze River and Yellow River on the map of China and the Jinghe River in our hometown of Binzhou!

It was a beautiful snowy day. I cook by myself every day, learn calligraphy after dinner, go to Internet cafes to learn online typing, and learn text editing. Go to dulan county City to watch farmers get together in winter and watch county calligraphers perform couplets. I also learned from monks, looking for Mei's Zen in the snow. ...

In my spare time, I wiped my sweat by the Wusuli River, watching the vehicles transporting iron ore from the depths of the mountains. I look at the herdsmen who go to Dulan County to purchase daily necessities every day. If the bridge is not built, how can they cross the river by motorcycle in winter and how can pedestrians cross the river? One day, Tibetans rode a motorcycle of Happiness 125, followed by their wives and children. Their motorcycle overturned and fell into the Wusuli River, and the weather was soaked with cotton-padded clothes. Adults and children are very cold, as we can imagine.

One day, I went to bed in the middle of the night on a snowy night. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and I lit the diesel light. It turned out to be a drunken herder. Because you were drunk and couldn't find your way home, he ran into my tent and met me. There is nothing else to do. I only have a hot stove to accompany him. I found him a black cotton quilt used to cover concrete on the construction site. Although it is black cotton, it can come in handy to keep warm at this time, so I will accompany him.

The snow is still falling, and the whole Shehan Wusuli River beach is frozen. Even the water you eat should be thawed in advance, otherwise you can't cook. My hometown called, and my country road has been snowed by loaders and bulldozers several times. The freezing rain, snow and freezing weather in the south hit 19 provinces and cities, and Chenzhou City has been continuously blacked out for 10 days, with water cut for 9 days. The fine tradition of "one side is in trouble and all sides support" has not been forgotten. Facing the rare rain, snow and freezing disaster, heart to heart. The national spirit of voluntary donation, voluntary participation in emergency rescue, self-improvement and unity has been carried forward again. The fine tradition of the Chinese nation's hard work and fearlessness has been inherited and carried forward again. Think about them. What have I done?

I think national cohesion and soft power are the ideological guarantee for building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.

It's still raining in Leng Xue, and it's snowing everywhere in the floodplain, farmland and highway, which brings a lot of inconvenience to travel. You can imagine how difficult it is to be a shepherd in the deep mountains!

The ice in the box girder prefabrication yard is more than 60 centimeters thick, and even this ice has attracted people's attention. Herdsmen drive walking tractors to pull ice cubes in the box girder prefabrication yard every day, and use ice cubes to send water to cattle and sheep in the mountains for the winter.

One afternoon, two men and women came to the prefabricated beam yard and drove four-wheeled tractors to pull the ice. From the chat, I know they are father and daughter. My father is farming and herding sheep at home, and my daughter is a student majoring in dance art at Xianyang University for Nationalities. A Tibetan female college student can help her parents do such dirty work when she comes home on holiday. In fact, her heart is more admirable and impressed than her appearance!

My father is simple and honest. Looking through the mask, the little girl is particularly beautiful. She is cheerful and polite. I guess she is the most beautiful Tibetan girl I have ever seen. They came to ask me to borrow a shovel to dig snow. I never want to chat with the local communist party. It is natural that the little girl can speak Tibetan, but her fluent Mandarin surprised me a little.

I learned from the chat that I am from Xianyang. When digging ice, the little girl suddenly turned around, stood up straight and said, "Ah Da, have a bubble gum." The little girl's sudden behavior made me feel a little embarrassed as a stranger digging ice outside the ice cave. So I was a little excited, like how much a bubble gum owed others, and I felt very uneasy inside, so I quickly helped others dig ice and load the car.

In a short time, the ice of a tractor finally helped to load the car. At five o'clock, it is not early to wipe the sweat by the Wusuli River. I smiled at the Tibetan girl father and daughter who waved away. It turns out that there is not much difference between the nation and the people, so there is no need to be too vigilant!

The weather is really cold this winter, but in my lovely inner world, I don't feel cold at all!
