Chapter 1: My Family
When the post-80s generation left the university campus and began to start a family and gradually moved towards the age of establishment, many people gradually developed nostalgia. They count the games they played in their childhood, miss the snacks they ate in their childhood, and maybe they will rummage through their boxes and drawers to find the toys they played with in their childhood, watch the cartoons they liked when they were children again, relive the movies and TV series of their childhood, listen to their favorite songs from their childhood, or maybe go back to their alma mater to take a walk and have a look...... The nostalgia of the post-80s generation gradually resonated, and some collective nostalgia phenomena were generated on the Internet, such as the memories of Li Lei and Han Meimei by post-80s netizens.

They are watched and despised at the same time.
They are spoiled and condemned at the same time.
They let their parents, grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents silently protect them, and they secretly grew up with their boyfriends, girlfriends, classmates, and children.
They are called "post-80s" who were born after 80 years, and most of them are nicknamed only children.
They spent their childhood without computers and variety shows, and are experiencing adulthood without war and hunger.
Most of my childhood without the company of computer games was spent with many, many classic cartoons and film and television dramas. I've watched Journey to the West and Hulu Baby many times, Six Gods Combined Transformers, Alalei, Robot Cat, Saint Seiya, Beidou God Fist, Black Cat Sheriff, Football Player, Slam Dunk Master, Little Alien, Little Dragon Man... It's too much and too classic (attached: screenshots of some cartoons). We can still remember the plots and theme songs of many cartoons, and it is these things that have accompanied us to grow up, so many post-80s generations are infinitely nostalgic for these beautiful things. Actually, I really miss my childhood, sometimes I dream of starting all over again, but I know it's impossible, but I really hope that we don't forget the joy of our childhood, even if we are already parents....... Nostalgia Actually, we post-80s generations still have a lot to remember.
The above excerpt is an encyclopedia explanation of "Post-80s".
I was born in the late 80's and was a rabbit. Born in an old house in a fourth- or fifth-tier M town, my mother recalled that when I was about to give birth, she entrusted others to chase my father back and forth on the shuttle bus.
I came to earth four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and four days later it was my father's 54th birthday, and my mother was 20 years old. After I was born, a wasp happened to enter the house, and my name was simply set as Huang Gufeng, and my father was called Huang Gu, "for fear that others would not know that I was his son", these are my sister's exact words.
My father was born in '33, experienced the war, and after being discharged from the army, he became a shuttle bus driver in a car company. I have five older sisters, but they are half-sisters. My father's original partner passed away as early as 3 years before I was born, and I have always called her "Auntie". Through the introduction of the matchmaker in my father's village, I don't know how to introduce my mother, who is 30 kilometers away, to get in touch with my father.
My mother was born in '66, and her siblings were very fat, and most of my obesity was inherited from her. My mother had a good relationship with a man in her village at that time when she was young, and gave birth to a boy without a certificate, and then because of the discord between the two, she left the child with that man, and she was introduced to my father through a matchmaker. My mother often said, "It was my father who lied to her and lied that she was less than 40 years old, but when she got the certificate, she realized that she was already over the age of six, maybe she was desperate, or maybe she accepted her fate, and she was about to do it." ”
Seeing this, some people will question and sigh, author, you wrote this for the sake of the storyline, right? You have a half-sister, and you also have a half-brother?
It's not really designed for the storyline, but it's really my birth background. At that time, when young wives and husbands were rare, my eldest sister was older than my mother. However, I am fortunate that I am a man, and if it were a girl, I would have sent it to my mother-in-law to give birth to me. Perhaps the greatest good deed in my life is not to let my own flesh and blood be separated from my parents.
My sisters, the fourth sister went missing when my mother was pregnant, and she has never been found, and she has not been heard from at all. After my father brought my mother back, my sisters didn't want to accept it, and my mother and sisters didn't like each other, and there would be quarrels and fights.
With my arrival, there was a slight relief from the situation. My mother was also gentle about my eldest sister's occasional dumping of my baby clothes on the floor, but on the whole, the family gradually became harmonious, because my father no longer borrowed alcohol after work to kill his sorrows, nor did he make angry and fuss at his sisters at every turn. The succession was finally fulfilled in the father's expectation.
Of course, with the reforms of the times and the continued growth of the population, my birth was fined. The father's salary was also reduced, and one person worked for seven people to eat, which undoubtedly added to the situation for this somewhat deformed family. My eldest sister and second sister have been taking care of the housework at home, and at the same time, they also pick up some paper and other things to make money to help make up for the family's tuition and food expenses. And when I was born, the eldest sister and the second sister were already working, subsidizing the tuition fees of the third and fifth sisters.
I grew up like this every day, except for my eldest sister, the other sisters liked to come and play with me after work and class, and when they saw my mother or eldest sister coming back, they would scatter in a hurry. My father still drove the shuttle bus back and forth between the two small cities, sometimes bringing back two buckets of seafood, including hairy crabs, shrimp and mushrooms. At that time, the seafood was natural and inexpensive, although I had never tasted it when I was younger.
In a blink of an eye, the eldest sister talked about her boyfriend to the age of talking about marriage, and there was no ceremony and wedding, so she directly got the certificate and moved out of this house. I was one year old that year, and I walked back and forth every day in the streets and alleys of Hexi in M City to play with my friends around me.
After the eldest sister got married, she returned to the door, and the neighbor's uncle said, "Brother, you see that your eldest sister is back, don't you ask her to hug you." ”
I timidly stretched out my hands to my eldest sister, who hesitated for a moment and picked me up. This is the first time that the eldest sister has hugged me for so long, of course, I have forgotten these fragments, they are all from my mother's mouth, I think, for so long, the eldest sister is really accepting me from the heart.
Dormitories were allocated to my father's unit, and we moved from Hexi to Hedong. The old house in Hexi was given to my father's younger brother, my uncle. According to my grandmother, she went to my grandfather's house as a child bride at the age of 9 and had a total of nine children, but my father, uncle and aunt were the only survivors of the war. My uncle was different from my father, my father went to high school at that time, and my uncle didn't finish elementary school, and he couldn't write a few words, so he was picking dung and growing vegetables. Or the feng shui problem of the ancestral tomb at home, my uncle is also a continuation, and my aunt is also with a son and a daughter, but the family situation is not as complicated as my family.
Moving into a new dormitory also means the beginning of a new life.
