Chapter 807: Self-improvement Family Affairs
readx; Chen Ziqiang was a hard-working child when he was a child, and he was an authentic Huhai person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He was born at the end of '58, exactly three years of natural disasters. Because his parents were rough people who were uneducated, his father was engaged in the work of transporting and dressing the emperor, and in order to save some rations for him and his mother, he often endured hunger to go to work. How can someone like him work so vigorously and sweatily so often go hungry? In 59 years, he got edema and died of starvation at work. My mother was a housewife without a job, so she had to work as a nanny and do odd jobs, and she had to endure all kinds of hardships in order to survive.
Chen Ziqiang's father was a child who was abducted from the countryside into the city before the liberation, and not long after entering the city, he encountered a battle to liberate Huhai, and the traffickers abandoned him and ran away. Chen's father was only eight years old at the time, and after seeing the traffickers run away, he was also very clever when he arrived, and saw a very old rickshaw driver, who was struggling to pull people, so he helped push the cart behind. Later, he was adopted as an adopted son by the rickshaw driver and lived with the rickshaw driver for six years. The rickshaw driver died after falling ill because he was too old. He was only 15 years old that year, buried his adoptive father, and became a rickshaw driver, supporting himself by himself.
Fortunately, his adoptive father still had a house, which became his home. At that time, night schools were running everywhere, and the streets made him have to learn literacy every day. However, he had to pull a rickshaw to earn money to support himself, and he studied intermittently for some days. After learning about his situation, the instructor worked with the street officials to help him find a job as a stevedore. Coupled with the fact that private people were not allowed to pull rickshaws at that time, he had a job and did not have to worry about supporting himself. Commuting to and from work on time every day, paying his salary every month, and having less worries about food and clothing, he will consider his own housing. It's good to live in public housing, but if you have to pay the rent every month, he can't bear it.
The house he lived in at that time was a house built by him and his adoptive father. In the past, this area was full of grotto gate houses, and their house was a thatched house built against the grotto gate house, and the place not far in front was Suzhou Creek. They go to the river every day to get water, and it is more convenient to get there. Soon after the liberation of Shanghai, the grass house they lived in and the adjacent houses were razed to the ground due to the bombing of the Kuomintang reactionary planes. In the two adjacent grotto houses, more than half of the family were killed and injured, and all five members of the family died.
Even though it's just a grass house, it's impossible to live without a place to live. The father and son started to build a simple house against the ruins of the neighbor's house. Because there were many places that were bombed by planes at that time, the father and son picked up bricks everywhere, built the house on the foundation of the adjacent grotto, which was no longer ownerless, and surrounded the open space next to the original grass house of their own family, according to his adoptive father, to grow a little vegetable for himself in the future. At that time, the father and son only had one room, only more than ten square meters, and they treated the rickshaw as a treasure every day, and they were put into the house every day, and the father and son slept on the bed, and the rickshaw was placed in front of the bed.
Chen Ziqiang's father inadvertently occupied more than 100 square meters of land. Now that no one is in charge of this, he just asked some co-workers to help, and with the money he has saved over the years, he bought some old house materials, built three bungalows, and surrounded a small courtyard in front and back. When you have a house, you also have a place to live. The workers saw that he was diligent and honest, and enthusiastically helped him introduce an object in the effect area, and the two had known each other for half a year, and they did not have any weddings. He was 17 years old at the time, and Chen's mother was 16 years old. A year later, Chen Ziqiang was born.
Who knows, before Chen Ziqiang was half a year old, his father unfortunately passed away. At that time, his mother had just sorted out the front and back yards of the house and made vegetable plots, and planted some sweet potatoes and vegetables. As a result, Chen Ziqiang's mother often said later that if they had opened the vegetable patch earlier, Chen's father would not have starved to death. It was this year that the old middle school behind their house was expanded, and the newly built fence of the school was only less than two meters away from the fence in the backyard of their house. His mother would take the sweet potatoes and vegetables she grew to the middle school across the wall from his house and sell them for some money to buy oil, salt, firewood and rice.
After a long time, Chen Ziqiang's mother also became acquainted with the teachers at school, and often helped them wash their laundry and quilts, or help them do some housework, and collect a few odd and mediums. There was a capitalist son in the school, named Yu Zishan, who was a young male teacher who taught Russian. Because when Huhai was liberated, he was still studying at the university, and when he received a letter from his parents who asked the domestic servant to bring him, he hurried home, and his parents and family had fled Huhai. So, he stayed in Huhai. Later, after graduating from school, he became a teacher in a middle school, mingled with the workers and peasants, and joined the ranks of the working people.
At that time, the state also had some good regulations on the protection of national capital. Therefore, he still lives in his family's small bungalow, and his family's factory has joined the public-private partnership and is under the management of the political axe. After he joined the work, he fell in love freely, married a female teacher at the school, formed a small family, and had two children after marriage, a boy and a girl, his daughter was one year older than Chen Ziqiang, and his son was one year younger than Chen Ziqiang. Since they couldn't hire a nanny at that time, they had to go to work and live far away from the school. In private, he discussed with Chen Ziqiang's mother and rented her house.
Mr. Chen's family has three bungalows and a kitchen, one of which he and his mother live in, and the other two are rented to them. After the couple moved in, the man was born as a young master and couldn't do any housework, and his wife was also a child of an ordinary clerk's family, so she married him to live in a bungalow. Although he is not a lazy person, he is not a diligent person. At that time, the memories were bittersweet and the political and ideological work was very tight, so that the couple did not dare to live in a bungalow anymore. Only then did they rent the Chen family, which was far away from home and very close to the work unit, but every weekend, the couple quietly went home.
When they moved into Chen's house, Chen Ziqiang was already three years old. Their housework is basically all taken care of by Chen Ziqiang's mother, but they teach their children to read, and Chen Ziqiang also learns together. These two families live together, so there is also a complementary effect. And this teacher Yu told Chen Ziqiang's mother that his wife was more selfish and stingy. Let her not say how much money she usually gives her, just say that she just collected the rent. But the money he gave to Chen's mother privately was 40 to 50 yuan a month. At that time, this was quite a considerable income, which freed the lives of the Chen family mother and son.
