Wenyuan 丨 Recalling "Changgui River"

Liu Congmei

Some people say that travel is a place where others are tired of being tired. I thought that when I went home, I left the place where I lived in the place where I lived in childhood. My hometown is beside the Weihe River. There are many Weihe River in my childhood life, and the memories of their hometown after adulthood can not turn around the Weihe River -the "long and wide river" in my son's eyes.

In the mid -1990s, the section of the Luanhe City area of ​​Weinan was like intermittent streams. You can pick a place from the river to the river from the side of the river. This scene is far from the scenery of the Weihe Beach of his hometown. So every time I go back, I always go to the river beach to play. The most impressive thing was that the family of three went home to the Weihe River, and I was still excited to think of it.

It was a weekend, and I went home after half a year. After lunch, we sent away the neighbors, and we went straight to the north gate of the village to go straight to the river. The village has one kilometer away from the Weihe River, turning over the dam, and a way to produce the road directly to the Weihe River. On both sides of the road are green crops, corn, soybeans and elevated vegetables, and the large blockbusters are dotted with sunflowers. The green and the fresh atmosphere of their eyes and the fresh atmosphere of them instantly activated our excitement. The spirit was inspiring and refreshing.

Walking all the way, gradually, the desirable Wei River came into view. It was like a wide and shiny silk ribbon, shaking in the sun, sparkling.

"River!" The son pointed at the long silk and brought us to the long silk, and at the same time pulled us to run towards the river.

At this time, the river level was slowly flowing. We strolled and played on the river beach and enjoyed the magnificence of nature.

Suddenly, I found that there was a boat on the river not far away, and we immediately ran over. It turned out that there was a ferry. In the past, most of the places where there were villages in the Weihe River had ferries, and they all crossed the river. It was a large wooden ship. The ferry did not see a sting or a paddle. I saw a steel wire rope across the river.

The boat was on the shore, and people said with a smile and greeted each other to get off the boat. We went forward curiously to ask, and the boatman enthusiastically asked us to go on the boat experience. Looking at the wide surface, I was a little timid, afraid of the Hexin dizziness. But the father and son couldn't hold back, eager to try, and encouraged me to board the ship with the boatman. Faced with enthusiastic invitations, it was difficult to resist the charm of the ferry, and I also gladly boarded the ship to "find the feeling."

After the boatman greeted us, the boat was anchored. At this time, it was found that there was a wooden stake standing at the bow, and a iron wheel with a groove was fixed by the upper part, and the wire rope was stuck in the slot.

Starting the ferry, the boatman picked up a wooden block, packed the wire on one side of the gap, pulled it towards the arms, and then stretched out to change the place to continue pulling. With the friction between the wire and the wooden block, the boat slowly moved to the opposite bank.
