The ferry is owned by the government, so the transition people do not have to pay. Someone was uneasy, and when he grabbed a handful of money and threw it on the board of the boat, the person in charge of the ferry would pick it up one by one, and still stuff it into the palm of the man's hand, as if he was serious when he was arguing: "I have a mouth, three buckets of rice, seven hundred yuan, enough."

Who wants this! ”

3. Character appreciation:

The above episode is a conversation between the old man and the guest after the ferry. Through nuanced language descriptions, action descriptions, and demeanor descriptions, such as "pick them up one by one", "still stuffed", "serious spirit", etc., the clip vividly portrays the old ferryman, that is, Cuicui's grandfather, who is not greedy for money, not calculating, kind and enthusiastic, simple and honest, helpful, loves life, and is cheerful and open-minded.

A "must" also reflects the firmness of the elderly; In the mutual humility between the elderly and the guests, such as the guests' "uneasy hearts", "grabbing", "throwing" and other actions and the happy words of the old people, they unconsciously lead the readers into the life picture of the people of Xiangxi who are free of quarrels, help each other, and are leisurely and leisurely, so that we can truly feel the praise, moving, and yearning for the simple and simple people's customs.

In the small town of Xiangxi, Cuicui and her grandfather lived, and at a Dragon Boat Festival, Cuicui met the second elder and fell in love with him ever since. I don't want to be in the next year, the second elder brother also fell in love with Cuicui, the third year. The two brothers decide to confess to Cuicui.

The eldest elder chose to propose to Cuicui, and the second elder sang a mountain song to Cuicui all night in accordance with local customs. But what Cuicui likes is the second elder. The elder knew that he could not compare to his younger brother, so he ran away and died in an accident.

The second elder was shadowed by his brother's death, and at the same time favored by the young lady of the Tuan Zong's family, and wanted to marry him with a mill as a dowry, he didn't know how to choose, so he ran away after a quarrel with his father, and Cuicui's grandfather eventually died, leaving Cuicui to ferry on the river, waiting for the second elder.

And the brothers also have their own characteristics: the eldest is open-minded, and the second is handsome and careful. The description of the scenery in the text is also very outstanding, like a paradise.
