(Continued from above)

When I was rescued from the cellar, I broke my foot and neck. My mother, in order to heal me. So I and a villager in our village used a frame car (due to my young age, I can't remember very clearly, whether it was the reason that there was no shuttle bus at that time, or the reason why my mother insisted on using a frame car to run back and forth for more than 50 miles of slopes to see a doctor for me) with a villager in our village, and went to Weinan Shuangwang Orthopedic Hospital for me three times.

As far as I can remember, my mother was a very frugal person. At that time, on the way to the hospital, a bowl of rice in Weinan at that time did not exceed one yuan. A bowl of tea is about 2 cents. However, in such a difficult environment, my mother, in order to save more than one yuan for food, brought a few cornmeal steamed buns from home and drank boiled water, which saved me from the line of death.

Later, when I was a little older, I started to help my family with some household chores. I remember one of the autumn harvests, I saw my father using a pickaxe to open the corn stalks, and he was very energetic. So he pestered his father, and he also wanted to use a pickaxe to open the corn stalks. Later, when my father couldn't resist me, he gave me a small pickaxe and let me learn to open a corn stalk too. As a result, in the process of opening the corn stalk, I accidentally opened the head on my leg, and blood flowed into my stool at that time.

After seeing my blood flowing in, my father put down what he was holding and carried me to the hospital to bandage my wounds.

Later, my parents, for the marriage of several of our brothers, asked people to be matchmakers everywhere, and pooled money everywhere to marry a few of us. A lifetime of effort.

As for our parents, we brothers are kind to us. And many more. For the sake of time, I will not list them all.

In a word, the kindness of parents is as great as a mountain, and those of us who are children will never be able to repay the kindness of our parents in our lives. For this reason, I wish all parents in the world eternal health! As children, we can never forget the kindness of our parents. The world is big, and there is no great kindness from parents!

Once again, may the parents of heaven rest in peace, and your children will always miss you!

Essay (3) Theater play

When people reach middle age, they have a sense of nostalgia. I miss my childhood life more and more. Especially when I am lonely, I miss my childhood life even more.

When it comes to my childhood life, the happiest thing is that when I was a child, I watched a theater performance in the open-air theater in our Chongning Town.

In my memory, the theater should have been built around 1978 AD. At that time, I was in the second grade of primary school in my village. At this time, my father was working as a cook in Chongning Township. And the theater is facing the gate of the township.

After hearing that the theater was acting, I pestered my father and followed him to Chongning Township**.

At that time, the Chongning Theater was said to be an open-air theater. However, in the theater, there are no chairs. And every time you enter the hospital, you also need a dime for a ticket.

See the theater after the opera, both will begin. I pestered my father and asked him to take me to the theater. Since my father was at work at the time (it was about 12 a.m.), he couldn't spare time for a while. So, he told me to go to the theater after the evening.

When I heard that my father didn't take me to the play, I cried and made a fuss. After seeing me crying, my father had no choice but to put down his work and take me to the township radio station (opposite the township ** canteen), and found the township broadcaster Isaihong (the broadcaster is familiar with the theater janitor), and begged him to take me to the theater to watch a play.

After hearing his father's pleading, the announcer happily agreed to his father's request. However, because the announcer had something to do at the time. So, he asked me to wait for him in front of the radio station for a while.

After listening to the announcer, I had to wait patiently.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I found that there were several children about my age at the door of the radio station. Not only that, but a few other adults also came to the door of the radio station with benches.

After seeing that there were more and more people at the door, the announcer finally finished his words. Then, he led a group of more than a dozen of us with benches. Then he came to the door of the theater. After he brought a dozen of us to the door of the theater, he told a few of us to wait at the door for a while. With that, he turned and walked towards the ticket office.

After about four or five minutes, I saw him lead a scrutineer to the front of several of us.

"Xihong, how many of them are?" I saw that someone came to us, and after looking at us, he said to the announcer Ishihong.

"That's just a few people!" said Isaihong with a smile after listening to the visitor's question.

"Xihong, why do you bring so many people all of a sudden? This makes me give other leaders how to deal with them!" After seeing our group of seven or eight people, the scrutineer said in deep embarrassment:

"Brother Anti-Japanese War, these six or seven people are all children! There are only two adults! You can let these children in!" After listening to the scrutineer's words, Isaihong said to him again.

"Alright! Just this time, not the next time. Come with me, a few of you!" After listening to Isaihong's words, the scrutineer led a few of us to the ticket gate.

In this way, with the help of Isaihon, several of us finally came to the theater without any problems.

When those of us came to the theater, we found that there were already a lot of people sitting in the theater.

After seeing that the opera had not yet started, several of us sat on chairs and waited for the opera to begin.

Not long after, as the start of the opera approached, the audience in the theater increased.

After about half an hour, with the sound of a rapid electric bell, the opera finally began.

Since I was only nine years old at the time, I didn't know anything about Qin opera. Entering the theater to watch a play is just to watch a lively, and I am not in the mood to watch a play. Therefore, not long after the opera started, it began to be a little restless. So, after handing over the bench to a man slightly older than me, I went around alone in the back of the theater.

I remember that the theater at that time was an open-air theater. At that time, the theater was very large. At the back of the theater, there are many sellers of snacks and many of them selling fruits.

When I went to the backyard to sell snacks, I stopped in front of a stall selling twist flowers and was reluctant to leave.

"Children, do you want twist flowers?" saw that after I looked directly at the twist flowers, the old lady who sold twist flowers asked with a smile.

"Auntie, how much money is a twist?" After listening to the old lady's words, I asked timidly.

"A dime, little friend, how many do you want?" After hearing my question, the aunt who sold twist flowers said with a smile.

After listening to the words of the aunt who sells twist flowers. I dug through the money in my pocket and looked at it carefully. I found that I only had Wu Jiao in my pocket (one yuan at that time, almost equivalent to Wu ten yuan now), and this is still the money my father gave me to watch the show.

"Little friend, if you buy two, my aunt will give you a dime. What do you think?" After seeing that I took out the money and was unwilling to buy twist flowers back and forth, the aunt who sold twist flowers said to me with a smile.

"Well, okay!" Under the repeated encouragement of the aunt who sells twist flowers, I can no longer resist the temptation. So, I bought two twist flowers.

In this way, after I bought the twist flowers, I wandered around the theater. Faced with the temptation of these dazzling food items, I had to swallow my saliva. Then he went around the country around the theater and began to wander around. For the opera staged on the stage, it is as if it were not seen. It's like listening to a dream. (Actually, at that time, I didn't know much about opera, and I was just familiar with watching the excitement.) )

In this way, I walked around the back of the theater for a while, and then I was off the stage again. When I came to the audience, I found that the audience was already crowded with people watching the excitement. Due to my young age and short stature at the time, I walked around in the crowd and after watching for a long time, I couldn't see the actors on stage.

After seeing that I couldn't see the actors' performances, I had to squeeze out of the crowd again and came to a corner of the stage.

When I came to a corner of the stage, I finally saw the performance of the actors on stage. However, due to their small size, they can only see some of the actors' performances.

After seeing that I had been walking around the stage for a long time, but still couldn't see the performance of the actors on stage, I was so anxious that I walked around.

So, after a lot of flipped around, I finally came to the bottom of the stage. When I came to the stage, I found that there were a lot of children crowded on the stage.

When I saw this, I climbed up to the stage with a few other children.

"What are you kids doing? This is a stage, not a theater, go down!" Seeing our children, after getting on the stage, a male staff member in his thirties on the stage hurriedly stopped a few of us from coming.

After seeing the staff blocking it, several of us avoided the staff on the one hand, and fled on the other hand, scurrying towards the corner of the stage.

"You are not allowed to go on stage, why are you still on stage? "After seeing a few of us running around the stage, the staff on the stage grabbed the arms of the taller children on the stage and pushed him down the stage.

After seeing the staff pushing him incessantly, the child clashed with the staff on the stage.

While the two of them were clashing, the rest of us finally squeezed into a corner of the stage, next to a band.

"Stand inside, a few of you. Don't interfere with our playing. "When he saw a few of us and gathered around us, a young man with a flute in his hand gave orders to us.

After hearing his instructions, we children finally came to a corner of the stage according to his instructions.

In this way, I was in the theater and finally finished watching this opera performance in a daze.

The sun and the moon are like edges, and the past is like a dream. Now that I think about it, my childhood life is really fun and intriguing.
