我的故乡在浙江湖州市安吉县梅溪镇。那是一个早在东汉时期就建制的县属镇,曾经是安吉县水陆交通繁忙、经济繁荣的一个镇。从我记事起,西苕溪水河的溪水就是澄清碧透的。清早,我和弟弟去溪边抬水是每天的必修课。“两个和尚抬水吃”这句话是那时常听母亲对隔壁邻居讲的,她说这句话时带有夸奖的口气。年幼的兄弟俩,抬着水桶,扁担在稚嫩的肩头上磨擦,水桶在“晃荡”声中摇摆着,走到家里只剩大半桶水了。这样,每天都要抬八次水,才能把家里的大水缸倒满。抬水是我俩体验生活的启蒙教育,也培养了我吃苦耐劳的品质。 My hometown is in Meixi Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It was a county town which was established as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty and was once a town with heavy water and land transportation and economic prosperity in Anji County. From my memoir, the water of the Xitiaoxi River is to clarify the Bitai. Early in the morning, my brother and I went to the stream to carry water every day. The phrase “two monks carry water to eat” often tells his mother to speak to his neighbors next door, she said with a compliment. The young brothers, carrying a bucket, pole in friction on the immature shoulders, buckets swinging in the “sloshing ” sound, went to the home only half a bucket of water. In this way, water must be raised eight times a day to fill the large water tank at home. Water lift is the enlightenment education for both of us to experience life, and also cultivate my hard-working quality.
