(1) Learn to ride a bicycle

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the sun and the moon blow people, and people grow old. In the blink of an eye, it has reached the prime of life. Many good memories have long been gone and gone. Many fond memories of childhood can only be seen in dreams.

Learning to ride a bike has become something I will never forget. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to find a good memory of my childhood and share my childhood memories with readers and friends.

I remember when I first learned to ride a bicycle in the spring of 1979, when I was still in the second grade in the elementary school in my village.

At that time, the countryside was still eating a big pot of rice. All the people rely on their work to support their families. In the countryside at any time, there were hardly any modern tools. It's almost hard to see a car. (Actually, there were cars at that time, but because of my young age at the time, I didn't go far away.) That's why when I saw a car, I was very curious. Once mischievous, turned off the gas pedal of a car fuel tank. Take pleasure in it. )

On the eve of the Spring Festival that year, my eldest brother actually bought a 'Hongqi' brand bicycle from Weinan and returned home.

In rural China at that time, there were very few means of transportation. A family with a few bicycles in a village is considered to be a wealthy family. So, ever since my family bought a bicycle, our house has been filled with crowds. Learning to ride a bicycle has become a hobby for many people.

For such a hard-won item, the eldest brother naturally regards it as a treasure. So, in peacetime, he locked his bicycle in his home.

After seeing that everyone else was learning to ride a bicycle, my heart was ready to move, so I pestered my eldest brother to learn how to ride a bicycle.

I was not yet ten years old. Not as tall as a bicycle. Therefore, my eldest brother refused to let me learn to drive, and locked the bicycle in front of me.

After seeing that my eldest brother had locked the car, I secretly looked at him and hid the bicycle keys somewhere. However, helplessly, the eldest brother hid the car keys very tightly, and he succeeded for a while.

Hard work pays off. Finally, one day, I took advantage of my eldest brother's absence. Secretly found the key to the bicycle from a box. He secretly pushed the bicycle out.

Since I learned to ride a bike for the first time, and the bike at home is an old-fashioned weighted bike. So, I pushed my bike down the road and learned how to get up on it.

Just as I was learning to ride a bicycle, a pedestrian suddenly came up from the main road. After seeing a pedestrian coming in front of the bike. I panicked. Since it was my first time learning to ride, I didn't know how to use the brakes. So he looked at the bicycle and rushed straight towards the comer.

When they saw my bicycle and rushed straight towards me, passers-by were taken aback and hurriedly avoided me.

At the same time, when I saw a pedestrian coming in front of me, I immediately panicked and immediately twisted the front of the car to avoid the pedestrian.

In this way, the two of us met together when we avoided each other. Seeing that the bicycle was heading towards the comer, it rushed straight towards the comer.

When I saw that the bike was about to hit someone, I couldn't help but panic even more. Then he slammed Fang and asked. The bicycle turned into a tree ditch on the side of the road. The man also fell into the ditch by the roadside.

Later, when I got up and lifted the bicycle, I realized that the pedals of the bicycle had been broken. When I turned the pedals a few times with my hands, I realized that the pedals were no longer flexible.

After seeing this, I knew that I was in trouble, and I had to be scolded by my eldest brother. To avoid this mishap, I quietly pushed the bike back home and put it back in its place. Then, after locking the bike, the key was quietly put back in its place. And then. pretended to be casual, waiting to be reprimanded by the eldest brother.

However, it was like that, day by day. The eldest brother didn't seem to notice about it. Still busy with his work all day.

Seeing the matter, a long time has passed, and after the eldest brother still did not pursue the matter, I was relieved. So, I was ready to sneak up learning the bicycle again.

In this way, I finally learned to ride a bicycle after many times of secretly learning to drive.

The past is vivid, and now that I think about it, the childhood time is really fun.

Remembering loved ones

The 24th day of April in the year of Gengzi (2020) is the third anniversary of my father's death. In order to remember my father and my old mother who died before his old family, I write this article to remember the two old people. May my parents rest in peace in heaven!

(The following article is the author's first article)

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the sun and the moon blow people, and people grow old. In the blink of an eye, it has reached the prime of life. Many good memories have long been gone and gone. Many fond memories of childhood can only be dreamed of in dreams. The voices and smiles of the parents can only be seen in dreams.

My parents, they are ordinary people. None of them have had a glorious history. But the two of them, in the minds of our brothers, are the greatest parents in the world.

The two of them have gone through a lot of hardships to support our brothers. For a few of us, it has set a glorious example.

My father was an ordinary man. In his life, he has never had any brilliant achievements, just an unknown ordinary person, but in the weight of my memory, my father is a very diligent person. Whenever he returned home, he was never idle. Carrying water, laundry, cooking, sewing, these housework that only housewives have to do, but he is alone, competing for it. (My mother may have been the reason for leaving my father at an early age, and she acted as the head of the family since she was a child.) For the daily affairs of the family, not very interested. )

My mother was a simple and capable person. In my memory, in the production team at that time, some men could not do the work, but my mother competed. When I was in the production team, my grandmother was very old, my father was working outside the home, and several of us were in school. At that time, almost every family in a situation like ours was in debt. At that time, our family was not only not in debt, but also had some surplus. It's all about my mother's hard work, hard work.

I remember that there were 7 people in our family at that time. At that time, except for my father, who was working as a cook in Chongning Commune (later changed to Chongning Township**), the rest of the people were farming at home. At that time, my grandmother was already eighty years old. However, people are very diligent, washing and cooking, weaving and spinning, all of which are fine. In my childhood memories, the four of us brothers ate and wore clothes thanks to the hard work of my grandmother. (My mother, who is also the women's director of our village, is busy earning work and supporting the family all day.) As a result, less has been done in this regard. )

At that time, there were four brothers in my family (there were only three brothers above me), except for the eldest brother, who had already completed junior high school at that time, entered the production team, and participated in labor. My two other brothers and I were both studying. The situation in our family at that time was: the old and the young. The degree of difficulty at home can be imagined, it should be very difficult and difficult.

My father was a very honest and diligent man. When he was working as a cook in Chongning Township, his monthly salary was only more than 30 yuan. And the place where he works is about eight kilometers away from our home. At that time, there were very few shuttles on the road. At that time, there were very few bicycles in the countryside. Even later, after I got a bicycle. Due to historical reasons, his father (mainly not being able to ride a bicycle) has always walked back and forth, running between units)

Moreover, every time he went to work, because he had to arrive at the unit on time, he often had to start at 5 o'clock every morning (every time he walked from home, it took about two hours to reach the unit), and then, after a long journey of more than two hours, he could arrive at the unit on time.

In order to provide for our brothers and study, my parents and grandmothers have gone through a lot of hardships. Several of them have worked hard all their lives for the lives of their children. Looking at the happy life now, think about the kindness of your parents. Those of us who are sons and daughters will not be able to repay it in our lifetime.

I remember when I was younger, I was very naughty and very playful. Once, when I saw my second uncle going down to the Red Cellar to get the red heat, I thought it was very funny. So, when my family was not at home, I secretly went down to the cellar of the Red Office to play.

At that time, due to my relatively young age, and the Red Summer Cellar at that time, because at the time of design, in order to store potatoes and other substances, my second uncle dug a hole in the upper part of the Red Cellar.

After this change, the original tunnel was changed with some changes. As a result, when I was going down to the Red Cellar, I accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the Red Cellar.

At that time, my family was still working in the production team. I cried for a long time, and my voice was hoarse all the time. Still no one can hear me. It wasn't until late in the day, after my family had finished working, that my eldest brother rescued me from the Red Summer Cellar.
