When I was happily in elementary school, a lot changed in my family!

My father earned some money a few years ago, so he invested in the development of a real estate development company. Because of the rupture of the capital chain, the project was forced to stop, and the suspension was two years. Fang Kai couldn't stand it anymore and declared bankruptcy. All the money my father had invested was lost.

In the summer of 1997, our family was destitute, and every day there was an endless stream of people who came to my house to ask for money, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people who came to my house to ask for money blocked up my yard! I let go of school and saw my father squatting in the corner of the door with his head down and smoking a smoking. The fourth uncle was calculating the accounts over and over again on the small table beside him.

At that time, the entire construction industry was in a recession, and my father was forced to sell some of the steel building materials he had purchased. Leave the construction industry completely. But the money my family lost was real, and the workers who had worked for a year without getting paid could not find their heads, so they had to find my father, who went to work for them.

When you are rich, many people revolve around you, and when you are poor, you can really see some of the sinister aspects of human nature.

My father's newly bought bicycle was pushed away by my aunt's husband, the two televisions in the house were also taken away by the people he brought with him, even the table that my father bought for me in my house for studying was pulled away by him with someone driving a tractor, and the three pigs in the pigsty that had been raised for a year were also dragged away.

Something of value they look at and take it. My mother took me and my younger siblings to my grandmother's house for a few days, and when we got home, it was empty.

Back then, he begged my father to take him to work on the construction site. Human nature is really sinister, even for relatives!

The family owes a lot of money to outsiders, and our family only has more than two acres of land. My father went to my aunt's house to borrow a few hundred yuan and came back to pay the public grain. In many cases, the family's food rations are provided by the grandmother's family.

My father slept at home all day! The whole person lost a lot of weight, and he became more and more depressed! My brother and sister were already in school, and every time we came home, we saw that my father was sleeping at home, and I didn't feel good.

For a period of time, the family had no money to buy vegetables, and the vegetables in the field had not yet grown, so every day they used a net to fish out a lot of river mussels in the small river and supply them with small shrimp. My mother borrowed my uncle's bicycle and went to Gaohuang early every morning to pick up vegetables and leaves, and kept the better ones for the family to eat, and the bad ones to feed the pigs.

After the three big pigs raised by the family at that time were taken away, my mother went to my grandmother's house and bought seven or eight little piglets, ready to raise them and sell them to my father to pay off the debts in the coming year.

Speaking of Gaohuang, to the east of our Pingwei town, there is only one dam away from my house! 5 kilometers to the east, there is close to the bank of the Huai River, and there are abundant water resources. Gaohuang Town in the nineties of the implementation of greenhouse planting technology, Huainan City a lot of fresh vegetables are supplied by Gaohuang Town, I sometimes in front of the village than two years older than me a big brother on Saturday and Sunday to drive his tractor to Gaohuang Bay in the field to pick up vegetable leaves,

They have more than a dozen pigs and hundreds of chickens, and they have to pick up vegetable leaves every day.

I'm 13 years old, he's 15 years old, he drives a tractor and I sit in the tractor compartment. Every time I bring some square noodles and a little water, I always pick up vegetable leaves in other people's fields. until the boxes filled with his modified and lengthened tractors. When I came back, the head of the tractor would be very heavy, and we would need to be able to handle it together

I love to pick up lettuce leaves, because the vegetable growers will peel all the lettuce leaves, every time I just sit on the ground to help the owner of the greenhouse peel together, their leaves will give us, and by the way, they will also give me a few ugly-looking lettuce. Ordinary people will feel bitter when they eat leaves, but the tender leaves in the middle can be eaten, and they are delicious when scalded with boiling water.

My father was depressed for a long time, and most of the pressure in the family was supported by my mother. My uncle would come to my house every once in a while and bring taro and rice, and sometimes my family really couldn't see my daughter suffering outside. At that time, my brother and sister often didn't have enough to eat in the morning, and sometimes we went to school without eating in the morning.

I was hungry every day at noon, and several times when I came home from school, my grandmother would call me from a long distance to come to her house, sometimes give me a bowl of noodles, sometimes give me an apple or two to eat.

I don't like to eat at my grandmother's house, and after my father's investment failed, my mother has always been holding on, gritting her teeth and not begging my grandparents. They were still haunted by my father's refusal to give us a house, so they didn't help our family. I only go when I'm very hungry.

My mother ate a lot of potatoes that year, I ate a lot in one summer, and the starch will increase if I eat too many potatoes, and the accumulation of a long time will induce stomach problems. This went on for a long time.

In the 98th Chinese New Year, my mother insisted on asking my father to buy a larger firecracker, my younger brother and I climbed to the plane tree in front of my house, at this time the small sapling has already become a towering tree, a large number of branches, my mother said that after the end of the New Year, find someone, these branches are all cut down as firewood.

There were a lot of firecrackers hanging on the branches of the plane tree, and my brother and I lit the firecrackers, which crackled and crackled for a long time. This year's New Year was very poor, and my mother gave us 10 yuan each, and I quietly stuffed it back into my mother's bag for groceries.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my father called my mother to us and said that there was something to discuss with us:

"the kid, it's been a year of hard work for your mother, and I'll discuss something with you"!

The mother burst into tears. It can be seen that the mother is very pleased.

"After the eighth year of junior high school, Hermione and his fourth uncle and I went to buy a tractor!

"The pigs at home, Hermione, you're going to feed them next year!"

I nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I'm 14 years old, and I'm the pillar of the family."

Dad touched my head and smiled with relief. Then he said:

"the kids, let's go after fifteen, the kids are all older."

Mother nodded...

At that time, every household in our village had a tractor, and when the farm was busy, we would use the tractor to do farm work, and when the farm was not working, we would go to other villages to harvest rice. Pull it back, process it into rice, and sell it. Several wealthy families in our village have opened several rice mills in the south.

That's the way it is in the village, for a period of time what makes money is popular. Every day at the fifth watch, there will be the sound of a tractor coming out of the car, and then slowly the sound of a tractor. Families, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, etc., will drive tractors out to harvest rice.

After the Chinese New Year, the husband and wife and their mother went to the south of the little father's house to borrow 5,000 yuan from the interest rate increase and bought a 28-horsepower tractor. From then on, my father and mother started a rice exchange business.

I live at home with my younger siblings, and on weekends when there is no pig feed at home, I will run to Gaohuang to pick up vegetable leaves. In the past two years, I have become familiar with the road, and I know exactly which family has good vegetable leaves and which family is difficult to speak. After my parents went to trade in rice exchange, they were often away from home for a week or two, and often the three of us were at home for our lives.

I have also practiced good cooking skills, I am working on many things at home, and my younger siblings have always been very obedient, and I also know that the family conditions are not good, and they are very sensible.

Every time I chatted with Zhang Mengxin between classes, she said that she especially admired me for being able to cook, take care of housework, and take care of my younger siblings!

I feel like she will sigh from time to time since she came back from illness! I will be very sad every time this time! I feel that she also has a lot of troubles!
