The worldliness in life
Huaxu heating / Guo Yanshan
It is fortunate to be a part of the fruits of reform and opening up, and the national policy of family planning is deeply imprinted on him. Born in 1980, I am a standard post-80s generation. I have avoided 10 years of turbulence and 3 years of natural disasters. What we are facing is the starting point of the rise of new China. While you can still feel the smoke of the past life, leave something. In the future, when you are half awake and half confused, the Yellow pupil will appear a moment of high light. People of the same age may find familiar pictures in their memories.
In the first few years, there was no memory. The things I knew were accumulated from the nagging of the elders. For example, because of the implementation of the "household contract responsibility system", the rural grandmother's family has lost all the food in the big pot, and the extra labor force has started to run the ship, supply and marketing. As a result, the cash income has increased, and the spending has become less stingy. When you are older, I have some memories. Although it is not as high as the table foot, I still remember that gambling is particularly popular in rural areas during the Spring Festival. The winning and losing amounts to tens of thousands of yuan, and the children's lucky money can also be given 10 yuan. In the eyes of rural people, 10000 yuan households are very common.
My parents are both employees of state-owned factories. Although they work in the front line, their economic situation is better than that of many people. That year, unemployed young people wanted to enter the enterprise. They had to rely on many levels of relations and spend a lot of money. It was hard to say whether they could become a formal establishment. The staff and workers of state-owned factories not only enjoy urban hukou, but also enjoy the grain and oil plan in the planned economy. Although the planned economy has been gradually transformed into a market economy, the price difference is still very alarming when it is running in parallel. When you see the red book that the old man brings back every year, you can see how prosperous the state-owned enterprises are. Moreover, there are many opportunities to earn money in the city. As long as you are willing to work, you can sometimes earn 5-10 yuan a day, while your parents' salary is only 30 yuan a month.
Treasury bonds were discovered when they were rummaging. Sometimes they can be converted to 15 yuan in the black market at the door of the bank. I used to cash it secretly. When "big money" was given a fish skin peanut bean, a bunch of dolls would follow behind their buttocks.
At that time, it was not so easy to go to the city or the countryside. In addition to taking buses, motor tricycles, weighing boats and other means of transportation, you could also borrow a bicycle. When I was a child, I liked to take a pound boat. Although it took a long time, it was cheap. I could get off the boat at the gate in front of the village, and I could get to my grandmother's house in a few steps. If it's a bus or a motor tricycle, you'll have to walk more than ten miles after getting off the bus.
I still remember that the summer vacation was spent in my grandmother's house. The river, which is more than ten meters wide, is a good place to play. When they saw some people killing ducks and geese, they went to make floats with a few wings and feathers; they used toothpaste tubes and bad sandals to exchange a little maltose and fishhook line; and then they cut a thin bamboo from the back of the house to make fishing rods, so it's OK to eat fish whenever you want. The river is also a good place for us to relieve the heat. A group of children of the same age often fight water wars on the wide river.
Every time it was at noon, a bicycle with two or eight bars was walking around the village. There is a big wooden box in the back seat of the car. The boss's small wooden block will knock all the way along the ride. At this time, the adults took a nap, and the children followed the car, greedy to see who bought the popsicle. Finally, I bought a red bean popsicle. I always wanted to lick it for hours. In the end, it was not licked, but melted by the sun. In order not to waste, I had to use my tongue to follow it. If you buy cream ice cream, the nourishing milk flavor can be greedy to death of a few dolls. Later, when I was older, some people in the countryside bought refrigerators. When they met the popsicle peddler, they bought several more "Hualian ice cream" at one time and put them in the refrigerator. They could eat them whenever they wanted.
My grandfather raised hundreds of ducks on the water in front of his house. The ducks came out in the morning and entered the bars in the evening. My grandfather not only played a duck boat flexibly, but also kept it steady. He counted the ducks when he was out of the hurdle, and he had to count them again when he entered the hurdle. These ducklings never listen to their orders, let alone line up. With a penny and flexible eyeball, grandfather can always be a good one. A few playful ducks can be found in some reeds. These hundreds of ducks are full outside during the day, and when they come out the next day, there will be 100 eggs left in the pens. The number of duck eggs is large or small, and a large number of them should be collected. After counting the time to rest, the ducks also have a way out. In the coming year, another batch will be introduced.
When I was a child, my family lived on the old street in the south of the city. The straight road was built along the Bank of Dayun River. From south to north, it included: fruit warehouse of supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned waste purchasing station, bamboo ware shop, blacksmith shop, agricultural materials department, barber shop, pickle shop, kutongpu, daily necessities department, tea stove, flour mill, Chengnan canteen and stewed vegetable shop. How prosperous! At dawn, the toilets of each family had already gone out. They emptied them as early as possible. After washing them off by the river not far away, they leaned against the corner of the wall. The fish and vegetable peddlers who came to the city in the early morning were Hawking back and forth; some people were standing at the door to make a fire when the stove door was not closed properly at night; people who got up one after another stood on the edge of the road, fighting and brushing their teeth. Not far away, the dining hall in the south of the city has opened. There are fried dough sticks, noodles, soybean milk, porridge, salted duck eggs, vegetable bags, meat bags, oil cakes, and flower rolls. When my parents are in a good mood, they have to pay five cents to eat a bowl of wonton. When the day breaks, the doors of each family are opened and ready to do business. At this time, the business of tea stove is the best.
The road was busy all day, and in the evening, the shops were closed, and it turned into another scene. Along the road, each family took out two 3-inch-wide benches, put on a bamboo bed, and found a broken Pu fan, where to go at night. The third father next door set up a small iron pan to stir fry broad beans. The noise attracted several children. Taking advantage of the heat, one person scattered two pieces, which made people touch their ears. When you don't have money, boil a small bowl of broad beans, cut two turnips, and serve two liang of wine. Unless it's a big customer at home, they assign their children to the marinade shop to cut some pork head.
In summer, the street lights are on early. The men cool themselves with tap water. They sit by the bamboo bed and drive away mosquitoes with a leaf fan. The children lean on the edge of the bed and close their eyes. After midnight, it was cold outside, and the adults took the baby home to sleep in the bed.
Adults are busy making money, and children are responsible for school. Homework not to write is not common, more skin is skipping classes, cheating in exams, fighting, damaging students and so on. At that time, books were not used to read, but flat and whole cigarette paper was sandwiched page by page; lunch boxes were not used for eating, boxes filled with foreign paintings; schoolbags were used to hold books and lunch boxes. Find a space to play, it is not dark, do not go home. After dinner, symbolically took out the textbook and drew two strokes, touching East and West. The time was almost the same, and then he washed up and went to sleep. At the end of the final exam, you must have two pens, one red and one blue. The blue color is to change the score report to pass and show it to the parents. The red color is to restore the score of the report sheet and return it to the teacher.
Wearing coir raincoat, barefoot, holding a thin bamboo pole with red plastic cloth at the end, driving a group of small white geese on the muddy road These have the fireworks flavor life, is my life precious wealth. Perhaps such a day will never go back, but the experience of life indicates that we can find that happy time and feel the life of fireworks.
