一后庄的西面,挨着村口的是一条河,从前头的拱桥那儿一直淌过来。河岸边长着密密的芦苇,其间还有一个河埠头,石板铺搭的,常有妇女在埠头淘米、洗衣物,棒槌一下下地抡着,打到衣物上,发出一声声沉闷的回响。小晰也到河埠头洗衣服,她只在傍晚时去,一个小塑料面盆用手夹挟在一侧的腰上。 On the west side of Houzhuang, there is a river next to the entrance of the village where it flows from the arch bridge. Along the banks of the river are dense reeds, and there is also a riverhead with paving slates. Women often wash rice in the quay and wash clothes, sticking under the mallet and hitting clothes, making a dull echo. Small clear to the river port washing clothes, she only go in the evening, a small plastic basin with hand on the side of the waist.
