我的老家在河南项城市一个偏僻乡村,我们那里称父母为爹娘。前不久回老家,不经意间看到爹在世时使牲口用的鞭子,让我想起过去他老人家常讲的那句话:做人要守信誉。爹1940年生于农民家庭。上世纪60年代,为了能在大集体拿工分,爹10多岁时就开始学习使牲口,20来岁成了生产队里最年轻的老把式,农活样样精通。 My hometown is in a remote village in Xiangcheng City, Henan Province, where we call parents parents. Not long ago to return home, inadvertently see his father alive whip animals used to remind me of the past, he often said that old man: a man to keep credibility. Dad was born in 1940 in the peasant family. In the 1960s, in order to get work points in large groups, his father began studying at the age of 10 to make the animals and in his twenties become the youngest old-style in the production team.
