十年前,我带着寻根究底好奇的心情,偕亲友三人,回到久别五十多年的老家——殷家湾,看“三挑谷子”祖业。那是个常年缺水,土地贫瘠的穷山沟。我就生在这片贫瘠的土地上,而现在,这里的年轻人大都外出打工,只剩些老爷爷、老太婆。我向老辈们打听“三挑谷子”祖业的旧址,都说不晓得,再也找不到了。 Ten years ago, I took a curious mood and searched for my three relatives and friends. I returned to Yinjiawan, a hometown of more than 50 years ago, and read “Three Taps of Millet”. It is a poor ravine that is often waterlogged and barren. I was born in this barren land, but now, most of the young people here go out to work, leaving only the grandfather, the old woman. I asked the elders “three pick the millet,” the ancestral site, do not know, never found again.
