Chapter 8 Big Rooster Grandpa

The old man got up early, Hong Tao couldn't sleep, just don't sleep, in the future he has the habit of going to the park in the morning to run, just don't change it in this life, keep running. Grandpa was surprised that Hong Tao, a little kid, planned to go to the park with him to exercise, but the old man didn't stop him, and happily took his grandson on the way to Ditan Park.

In 76, there was no subway on the Second Ring Road, and Hong Tao couldn't remember the specific subway line 2 that year, but he knew that it must have been after he went to elementary school, because when the subway was repaired, the side of the Second Ring Road was completely planed open and turned into a big ditch.

At that time, the Second Ring Road was not as wide as in later generations, let alone viaducts and overpasses, it was just an ordinary road, on both sides of which were electric poles made of wood, and they were painted with black asphalt oil to prevent corrosion. After the second ring road is the moat, and the second ring road, the moat at that time did not have a cement embankment, it was a broken river ditch, less than 1 meter deep, both sides are two people surrounded by big willow trees, a few meters apart is one, along the river bank has been continued, at a glance can not see the edge.

This kind of willow old people are called Guanliu, at first Hong Tao also followed the call, and then when he grew up, he inadvertently remembered this name, and deliberately ran to the Internet to check, and then realized that Guanliu is not the type or name of the willow tree at all, but a common name for the willow planted by the government, or planted in batches, it is said that the origin of this name can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty.

Ditan Park is a little outside the second ring road, it was not called a park at that time, it was called the Temple of Earth, this is the place where the Qing Dynasty royal worship the land god, after liberation it was changed to a park, but it is not like Beihai, Zhongshan Park, Summer Palace is a park recognized by Beijing citizens, basically no one comes here, and there is no ticket sale, it is a big wilderness garden, surrounded by high brick walls on all sides, who wants to enter who enters. Outside the south gate of the park is a vacant lot, with military camps on the left and right, and a small iron bridge is built here, facing the south gate of Ditan Park.

At that time, people did not have the habit of morning exercise, and most people had to get up early to go to work, and those who stayed at home were either old men or old ladies or children. And at that time, everyone was just able to eat enough, there was no oil and water in the stomach, and no one was worried about diabetes, gout, hyperlipidemia and other rich diseases, and there were even few fat people.

As for getting up in the morning to run, box, dance, or whatever, it's not that one person doesn't have it, but it's very, very rare. Because there are more activities, the stomach will be hungry fast, and there are no snacks to eat at home, the average family is three meals a day, and the meal is exhausted, and there is nothing to eat if it is not in time for the New Year, so few people will run in the park to exercise.

This is not to say that people were not physically active, on the contrary, they were more active in sports than they are now. As long as it is a regular unit, whether it is an institution, a factory or a school, the first thing you do after going to work every day is to stand in the playground or open space to do radio gymnastics, as long as it is about 8 o'clock every day, you can listen to it, and there is radio gymnastics music on the radio everywhere.

And at that time, the trade unions were not just movie tickets and women's products, they would organize all kinds of sports competitions, including within the system, between the streets, between the police and the people, between the military and the people, table tennis, badminton, basketball, volleyball, football, and other sports teams, every unit had them, and the level was not low. In the 8o years, many players in the national team were transferred from various units and mines, and they were the national team when they were kneaded together, which was called national fitness at that time.

This year's Ditan Park is very lively, and before you reach the main gate, you can see people coming in and out at the entrance of the park, all kinds of people, all ages. These people don't come to the park to exercise, their home lives in the park, to be precise, their temporary home, or earthquake shelter.

The name of the earthquake shelter will be clearly remembered by Beijingers born in the 70s, because it was a feature of Beijing at that time. It is because the Tangshan earthquake in '76 also affected Beijing, and although there were very few cases of houses collapsing and killing people, many old houses had cracks. The city government was afraid of another aftershock, so it allocated a lot of building materials such as wood and linoleum, arranged by the streets, and brought them to the people in the open space to build temporary shelters, so that everyone could move to temporary shelters and endure for some time until the aftermath of the earthquake had completely passed.

Since the earthquake was born in July, it is summer, so the earthquake shed does not need to be so complicated, a few wooden squares or fir pennies are erected, a rain cloth is put on it, and a large brick is tied with a rope to press it OK, mainly to prevent rain, not cold.

At that time, there were basically no high-rise buildings in the urban area of Beijing, and there were many vacant land, and each street was chosen to build an earthquake shed nearby, Hong Tao's house was close to Ditan Park, and it was so empty that it could no longer be empty, so the earthquake shed of their street was set up in Ditan Park. Hong Tao still remembers that when he was a child, he liked to live in the earthquake shed, because Ditan Park was fun, there were big trees everywhere, and it was not hot to hide under the shade during the day, and there were all kinds of children's toys here, such as dragonflies flying all over the sky, Zhili who called from morning to night, magpies and eagles that built their nests on trees, crickets in the cracks of the walls, grasshoppers in the grass, and so on.

But Hong Tao remembered that he only lived in the earthquake shed for 2 days, and then he was dragged home by his father, because the courtyard of his grandmother's house used to be a temple, and the house was built very strong, with large bricks and tiles, and was not affected by the earthquake at all, at most a little soil was dropped. Hong Tao's family lives in a three-story building, this building is the barracks of the engineering corps in the first two years, and it is also very strong, in addition to feeling shaken during the earthquake, even the soil has not fallen, so Hong Tao's family and grandmother's family do not have to live in the earthquake shed, and Hong Tao will not be able to enjoy this kind of fun, which has always been a big regret for him.

Now from the Ditan Park, in and out of the neighborhood, they are the neighbors, some of them are not very good quality houses, there are cracks and dare not live at home, some of the houses are not in trouble, but there are psychological problems, too afraid of death, so they would rather suffer a few more days in the earthquake shed than dare to go home to live. But that soon will change, as the weather gets colder and harder to live in an earthquake shelter in the fall, and the aftershocks are unlikely to shake for months, and the rest of the park will soon have to go home.

"Lao Hu, whose child is this!" There are neighbors who know grandpa, and it is strange to see grandpa running to the park with a child in the morning, so he said hello at a loud voice.

"My second daughter's son, my eldest grandson, is called Grandpa Liu!" Grandpa replied as he asked Hong Tao to call someone.

"Good morning Grandpa Liu!" Hong Tao looked at the person who spoke, he was less than 5o old, and he was more than 4o, and he had to call him grandpa, where could he be reasonable! But Beijing people pay attention to a face, or politeness, no matter whether the two do not deal with each other or not, as long as they know each other, in front of outsiders, they must say hello when they meet, and they have to be called according to their seniority, and those who should be called grandpa cannot be called uncle, this is scolding!

As for how to talk about this generation, there is no unified standard, it is generally a single theory, and it is rarely compared with each other, unless everyone gets together, which will be ranked down according to the parents or grandparents.

"Hey, good boy, polite, how old are you!" When people talk to you, you can't go any further, so it's rude, Hong Tao's grandfather also stopped with Hong Tao, planning to chat a few words before leaving.

"4 years old!"

"I've grown so tall at the age of 4, I thought I was in elementary school! Why are you running in the park with your grandfather so early in the morning?" This old man is a broken mouth, there is too much nonsense, grab Hong Tao and ask endlessly.

"Exercise and defend yourself! Grandpa Liu, it's time for your belly to practice, you're about to catch up with the grasshopper! Look at my grandfather, he is covered in tendon meat!" Hong Tao said and began to deviate as he spoke, and the problem of teasing people in later generations will not be changed for a while.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......" As soon as Hong Tao's words came out, the people next to him were all happy.

"Old Hu, who taught this grandson of your family! It's okay to dare to make fun of his Grandpa Liu!" Old man Liu is not angry, who is serious with a child, just idle and playing.

"Don't say it, it's time for you to practice your body, let's go, good grandson, don't tease your Grandpa Liu, let's train our muscles!" Hong Tao's grandfather saw that his grandson was good at everything, including scolding and squeezing people, not only did not criticize, but also helped to say together.

"You just protect the calf!" Old Man Li scolded with a smile behind him.

"Nonsense! I don't protect our grandson! See you later!" Hong Tao's grandfather didn't take the derogatory term calf protection as a derogatory term, he felt that this was an affirmation of his work as the head of the family, and the big rooster also knew how to keep the chicks under the wings when the eagle came, let alone people.

At this time, the Ditan Park was very desolate and empty, except for those few dilapidated halls, all that was left was woods and barren grassland, and there were no asphalt roads and cement roads, all of which were dirt roads that people had walked through. Hong Tao didn't dare to run, because he was still wearing plastic sandals, and if he couldn't run 2oo meters on this kind of road, the shoes would be finished. If you can't run, you can't exercise, Hong Tao decided to learn to play Tai Chi with his grandfather, as for whether it is authentic or not, the purpose is not to move the body, and he doesn't want to be a martial arts master.
