Come back home 

February 01 2019    Cloudy     Huxi,Gao’an County 

Planning accompanies my sister from Nanchang to my hometown Gao ‘an County by taking bus. Intel-city bus station(long-distance bus station长途汽车站)  is old and the attitude towards customers from the bus officer is very poor. Waiting for a while to get on the bus, also the condition of the bus is not very good. By the way, we can enjoy the scenery along the way by taking it. The Gan Jiang River was a little wider than I thought,but in the winter season, you can still see the water is flowing in the river. Great changes have taken place in my hometown, many buildings were built along the road. On the bus, I am watching news on my smartphone. 

When we arrived at Gao ‘an bus station, it was a little bit later than expected. I want to take a taxi to my house in the country, but my sister doesn’t want to take taxi because she wants to save money. After making a call to my father, ask him to pick us by electric bike. Because of taking too many luggage, you can’t take two people and all the luggage all together, so my father takes my sister with electric bike first. And then I drag my suitcase along the country road. The country road is full of cars and light are everywhere. 🐸 

My emotion is different with my sister. Those make my emotion change very quickly. After thinks for a moment, my father returned to pick me up. The electric bike is lack of electricity and run very slowly. After a while, I get off the bike and walk by myself to the country house. In another way, sit on this little bike is a little uncomfortable. Get off this bike, I think is a good way to practice my body. 🐧

 About my hometown village

September 10 2024.              Sunny.           Nanshan, Shenzhen 

My hometown village (Huxi Village) is located in southeast of Gao’an county which lies in southwest of Nanchang of Jiangxi provincial capital. About one hundred to two hundred people live there. There are two kinds of family name Nieh(聂) and Cheung(张). 

Around the village, there are many acres of rice paddy fields and land. There are many ponds that were used to irrigate the rice paddy fields and land when in the rush-harvesting and rush planting season when is usually short of water. Once upon a time, in the autumn-winter season, villages often seed rape, so when in the spring season, you can see many rape flowers are full in the fields and land. There are two seasons of planting those are spring and summer. In autumn, when the rice in the fields were harvested, villagers usually seed rape or leave the field dry by itself until next spring to plough. When one family is busy and has lots of work to do, you also get help from neighbors and relatives. 

When in the slack season, villagers often plant some broad beans (蚕豆)， soybeans(黄豆),cotton(棉花),peanuts and some vegetables such as celery(大蒜), celery(芹菜),chilis(辣椒) and so on.In free time, villagers often get together to play cards and Mahjong, they get funs and relax from those games. When I was a boy, joining those games, you can get undescribled feeling from it.
