A college student in the fifties was not only highly educated, but also politically conscious, which is the most intuitive impression I have of my father. If we say that space is widespread, then giving up the opportunity to work, live and develop in Beijing, the place that the world yearns for, and returning to our hometown in the west to make a contribution is a kind of realm in itself. For this reason, he also wore the big hat of "rightist" and the high hat of "stinky old nine", and the high hat was worn for the longest time. Because my father was a highly talented student studying civil engineering, he was able to recite the four famous works, and even the "Historical Records" could be memorized backwards, so he was fortunate to be sent to most of the primary schools in the county, or for a year or half a year. Everything should start with the baby, which in itself is a noble and far-reaching cause.

Since 1974, the country has been committed to the development of secondary and higher education, and my father has encountered new opportunities, how can he not work hard. Of course, during this period, there were thousands of people like my father, and my father was really nothing, in his own words, "just doing something that felt normal and worthy of his heart." ”

Staying at home alone, the first few days felt quite free, and there was a sense of comfort that I was in charge of my own affairs. But as time goes by, people's inner world will be occupied by an inseparable concern and attachment, especially when they come home from school, they will seem to hear their father from the kitchen with a very concerned voice, "Are you hungry?" Right away! Sometimes it feels as if my father is standing behind me, but when I turn my head and smile for three minutes and a second, I suddenly feel an inexplicable fear.

My father was not at home, and although it was not as serious as the sky had fallen, there were indeed many inconveniences and difficulties. For a child who is close to seven years old and lives in a rural area, as long as he does not have too much physical disability, even if he is extremely malnourished, he can do it hard. However, I have to go to school nearly three miles away every day, running back and forth four times a day, and the time is too tight, and two of the three meals a day are boiled water and rice. Of course, in the era when food is a blessing, this is already lucky.

Making rice mixed with corn paste and rice is not only a complicated process, but also time-consuming and laborious. In order not to delay going to school every day, I only do it first night. Boiling water can't blanch through the corn grains that have hardened, although they are cooked, but when swallowed, the throat hurts uncomfortably like being scraped by a knife; The meal is as simple as roasting two red peppers over the fire, and one small bite can lead to two large mouthfuls of coarse rice.

That's not all, the point is that the time for homework and homework is severely squeezed. I have developed a habit for a long time, go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening and get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, I never thought about it and didn't want to change, and now in order to be busy with miscellaneous things, I have to reduce my sleep time by one and a half hours every day. Especially when you encounter problems in learning, you have to encounter problems that you don't understand, and your father's knowledge base is not at home, even if you want to break your head, the problem is still unknown.

The interlude should not be too long. The moment I removed the key from my neck, I noticed that the large padlock on the door had been opened, and I blurted out "Daddy!" So he pushed the door and rushed into the house.

Two dishes and one soup were placed on the table in the hall, and the dishes and chopsticks were arranged. My father was sitting at the table with a brand new comic book flipping through it, and when he heard my voice, he raised his head and said gently, "Look at you, frizzy, what is the hurry to enter the door." I put my schoolbag away, and went to the kitchen to pour hot water from a thermostat and wash my face and start eating, starving, right? ”

"It's okay not to mention it." I approached the dining table and took a look, and then went about doing things as I spoke: "Daddy, when did you come back?" The meal was ready so quickly. ”

"An hour ahead of you. Pour the thermometer over the water, being careful not to get burned. ”

"No, it won't. Daddy, what kind of meat are you frying today? This aroma ...... I can't tell, it's different from the past anyway. ”

"Yes, then you can serve in the army."

"Why do you have to go to the army? Didn't you say you needed vision to enlist...... But military dogs are still very majestic. ”

"Isn't it more than majesty? If you have made meritorious service, you will also be awarded a medal, like a hero! ”

I thought to myself that my father might not have been able to become a soldier, and that my eyesight was destined to fail his long-cherished wish, so I did not continue to answer; After washing my hands, I went directly to the dining table to put two small porcelain bowls of rice, and as soon as I sat down, my father spoke happily: "Today's '5?1' festival is a special reward for the new strength of the workers!" ”

"Daddy," I said from the bottom of my heart, as I diligently put vegetables in my father's bowl, "you need to eat more, and see that you have lost weight again." ”

"Oh, isn't it more slim and energetic to be thinner? What does this meat taste like? ”

"It's a little creamier than pork, but it's chewier and has a longer flavor."

"Heh, even the word 'long' can be used, and there is progress. This is yellow beef, with less moisture and tender meat, and buffalo meat is far worse. ”

When I heard this, I thought my father was teasing me, so I asked in disbelief, "Is this really beef?" Doesn't it say that it is forbidden to slaughter cattle, how can there be beef to sell? ”

"Alas," the father sighed, and made people feel that the food was really unbearable, and then he told him: "Slaughtering a ploughing ox is the same crime as destroying spring ploughing production, and no one will do it." It's a pity to say that yesterday, when the members of the Wujiaba production team were driving the cattle across the railway, they happened to encounter a train passing by, and two big rhubarb were hit and died. The railway department is not responsible for this kind of accident, but out of humanitarian considerations, the railway department also issued a subsidy of 100 yuan to the Wujiaba production team. It's just that the two cows are worth 700 yuan, which is still a bit bigger......"

"What about the bad ones? Cattle are indispensable for ploughing the land. ”

"What else can I do, the members of the cattle herding are difficult to eat, and they can't afford to pay if they want to. The team had no choice but to peel the cowhide, and got about 300 catties of meat, which was dragged to the streets of the commune today for sale at 1 yuan per catty. I met when I passed by at 10 o'clock, and I bought 2 catties for love. ”

"The cow is so big, how can there be 300 catties of meat at the two ends? They are so stupid that 2 yuan per catty is enough to buy two cows! ”

"The reason why cattle are called cows is that cows have big shelves, but in addition to thick skin and hard bones, there are not many catties of meat. Of course, either they are too stupid, or you are too smart, 1 yuan a catty or begging someone to buy it with tears in your eyes, because each catty is more expensive than the normal price of a dime and a half cents. ”

"Heh, I understand, why Daddy said that he was giving love, paying more triangular money, enough for me to buy two comic books, and I still have eight points left. But it's not enough for them to sell with tears in their eyes, for one more cow to plow the land, selling on their knees is also very valuable! ”

"It sounds reasonable, but I don't know if it's going to be what you want."

"I want to ...... Anything should be tried before you know if it works or not. Daddy, we don't have classes in the afternoon, aren't you going back today? ”

"Well, not going back. What do you want? Let's hear it. ”

"Hehe, Daddy is worthy of being a leader and can penetrate people's hearts. I want to go to the production team's barn to play spinning tops after eating, and if the wind is ideal, I will fly a kite for a while, and then I will hurry up and write my homework when I come back, and I will have a lot of questions to ask you in the evening. ”

"Remember, to get the kite to fly higher, you should tighten the string in your hand."

"Ah, that looks right, thank you, Daddy."

This is the truth, not the appearance. Well, the comic book you've always wanted, it's gone. ”

""Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and "Chicken Feather Letter", Daddy is so good and great!"
