Regardless of whether they are poor, rich, or free-range, parents always want their children to be safe, healthy, and happy. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

When it comes to everyone's childhood, I ended up sitting in the restaurant all afternoon and reminiscing about that year.

Vera and Vikala quickly cleaned up the table, served tea, and after washing the dishes and chopsticks, they also sat down and listened to the old people talk about the ancients.

Grandma smiled, "How can we have any childhood!" At that time, everyone was thinking about how to eat a full meal, and I dreamed that if I could eat a bowl of noodles mixed with chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt water, I would drool just thinking about it. ”

"Oops! You're the same as I thought! At that time, I thought it was a delicacy in the world! Grandma Liang stretched out her hand, and the two old men shook hands. I don't dare to think about dumplings. ”

"Oh! So what did you eat in those days! Lin Jiaxiang asked curiously.

"Oh! At that time, wild vegetables and chaff were the staple food, and steamed buns were already a luxury for ordinary people, and dumplings were a rare 'feast' of the year. Grandma mentioned the events of that year, but she didn't expect it to be fresh in her memory, and she thought that she would like to forget those years.

"What the old sister said is right, at that time, sweet potato noodles and cornmeal were the staple food, meat was almost not edible, and clothes were mainly coarse linen clothes." Grandma Liang said. "As for having fun like you, don't think about it, there are many sisters, and the older ones start to work in the fields, and the rest of the big ones take the small ones, and they don't know what to play with."

Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, like the children now, we are also looking forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Spring Festival, which is what all children are looking forward to the most." Because that night, we can eat food that we can't usually eat, and more importantly, they can wear clean clothes to spend a beautiful reunion night. But we are satisfied. ”

"I've done it!" Lin Jiajia raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I turned it in the next day." Fang Monan said with a smile, her New Year's money was also in her hands, she looked at the others, looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that everyone was the same.

"Mom, it's your turn." Fang Menan looked at Fang's mother and said.

"What do I have to say, I don't know the situation in our family." Fang's mother deliberately sold Guan Zidao.

Fang Menan scratched his ears and cheeks. Laughed. "Mom, you deliberately embarrassed me!"

Fang's mother looked at her appearance and smiled, "Okay, don't embarrass you, we have four brothers and sisters, a family of six." It's all on your grandfather's salary. The staple food is tortillas and dried sweet potatoes. This is still your grandfather's job in the county, and the work is not bad, much better than others. Some of them are considered good. This is often the last meal but not the next meal, and sometimes the tofu residue is fried to satisfy hunger. It's rare to eat steamed buns - that's what rich people eat. The foods that make us the most happy are the purslane cakes that your grandmother bakes every spring and the gnocchi soup that you can eat once every few months.

In the past, the family did not have much money, even a little money, and it was difficult to buy things, and almost everything was not a voucher with a ticket: food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, cotton stamps, cigarette stamps, watch stamps, sewing stitch tickets, bicycle stamps, everything was in short supply, and everything was based on tickets. If you want to eat steamed white rice, it is not easy, not only do you have to use fine grain stamps, but a person can only supply half a catty of rice a month, and you can only eat one meal per capita, and one meal is not enough. ”

"Half a pound is not enough for one person?" Lin Jiashang asked.

"The food is not oily and watery, of course it is not enough." Liang Zi said, "Especially the half-grown kid. ”

Fang's mother said, "As for the wearing of most of the working class, as well as the intellectuals, they all use the same work clothes as their basic clothing. And our clothes are all wearing the clothes eliminated by our ancestors, and at that time, we really verified the living state of the sentence 'three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending'. ”

"We heard that the educated youth went to the mountains and the countryside at that time, why are you still going to school?" Lin Jiaqi asked. "We've heard it's a mess."

"Mess! It's only been suspended for a while, and then the half-grown children can't work, so after the school resumes, I entered the school again, and your mother and I still graduated from high school! Fang's mother smiled, "What your father is proud of is that when he was in junior high school, due to Deng Gong's comeback, he had to take an exam, and only a dozen or so people in the school were admitted to high school."

Your father often smells beautiful in front of me, and my high Chinese is mixed with that, but other people's are really talented. ”

Old Man Lin said, "I remember that year was the only college entrance examination in ten years, and there was a white roll hero. ”

"White rolls are still heroes?" Lin Jiajia asked.

"This godfather will answer you! He knows best. Fang's mother smiled and made a gesture of please.

"The universities that were half paralyzed in those years could only accept workers, peasants and soldiers who were recommended, and I remember that year, the heroes of the white rolls were recommended to take the university exams. It is recorded that in the last physical and chemical exam, he would only do 3 small questions, and the rest was blank, but he wrote a 'letter to the respected leader' on the back of the test paper.

In the letter, he complained that he could not bear to give up the collective production and hide in the hut to revise his homework, which led to his unsatisfactory results in the cultural examination. This letter made him take it seriously, and he was eventually accepted, and he was dubbed the "White Roll Hero". The appearance of the 'White Paper Hero' also affected the route of college admissions that year, resulting in the higher the test score, the more no school dared to ask for it, and most of the admitted students were mediocre or even middle and lower. ”

"And he's also set up as an anti-trend hero." Mr. Lin added, "But later, in 83, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and deprived of political rights for 3 years on charges of counterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement and conspiracy to subvert the government. It seems to have been released, and no one knows what to do now. ”

Although it is only a brief introduction, everyone is embarrassed. It's really life like a play, and drama is like life.

"Your mother, if I were born two years early, just in time for the big tandem, I can still take the train to the capital!" Fang's mother said regretfully.

"It's not good, if you were born early, you can still marry my father, how can there be me!" Fang Menan said with a smile.

"Huh...... Silly girl. Fang's mother rubbed her head and said.

"By the way, that's what you all learned!" Grandma Lin asked curiously.

"The school building is poor, the teachers have a limited level of education, and the foreign language subject is mainly Russian. Of course, the most basic ideological and moral courses are also indispensable, and in that era, ideological education is still the top priority of education. The schoolbag we carried when we went to school was sewn by your grandmother with cloth, and the cloth shoes we wore were also the uppers and soles of the shoes that your grandmother sewed with stitches and threads. Fang's mother said with her grandmother in her arms. I still remember going to school with a small school bag on my back.

Grandma recalled, "I remember that at that time, the children of the neighbor's family, the family was poor, and they couldn't afford to pay the tuition, so in order to pay the tuition for school, during the winter and summer vacations, they would go to the road outside with an uphill slope to pull the side rope for the manpower to arrange the car, 'pull the sleeve', and pull an uphill to earn five cents. ”

"Mom reminded me of it, and later after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the first batch of people were admitted to the university, we! Strictly speaking, it can only be said that he is not illiterate. Fang's mother smiled, "We! It's not reading material. ”

"Poof...... It's not reading material, why did my mother go back to the furnace and reinvent it! Fang Menan joked with a smile.

"It's not that you and your dad are urging behind, so I have to bite the bullet." Fang's mother smiled helplessly.

"O you! Now I have fallen into a blessed nest, and I have the conditions to go to school, but I am not good at it. Grandma smiled, "Of course, except for our family, you are all good children." ”

"Yufeng, it's time to take the college entrance examination this year!" Grandma looked at him and asked.

"Hmm!"

"Yikes! Yu Feng is going to take the college entrance examination so soon. Uncle Lian was both relieved and disappointed, and he would definitely not be able to come back for his son's college entrance examination.

Lian Yufeng grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, don't worry!" I will definitely be able to get into Jingjing University. ”

"You kid, why are you putting so much pressure on yourself?" The husband and wife of the family said in unison.

"Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and Grandpa Lin can teach them poorly." Lian Yufeng raised his head and said arrogantly.

"You kid." Old Man Lin scolded with a smile. "Don't disgrace me then!"

"Of course."

"Old man, Yufeng is really fine." Uncle Lian asked with some excitement.

"It's not a big problem, let's talk about it! Needless to say, we have several speakers of English, so it's definitely not dumb English. As for science, boys are better at science! Rest assured! Yufeng: I've been watching it! Old Man Lin said with a smile.

"Thank you!" The couple stood up, bowed and thanked them.

"That's it! own people, this is an outsider. Old Man Lin waved his hand and said.

Uncle Lian pulled Aunt Lian to sit down, "We are so happy, we don't know how to express the excitement and gratitude in our hearts." Uncle Lian smiled honestly, with tears in his eyes.

When you put together the childhood of three generations, you have to believe in the rapid development of society, and you have to marvel at the rate at which the human mind has evolved.

Childhood is something that everyone can never forget, it records the development and continuation of life in different periods, and it is a brief microcosm of life. But it is the most beautiful, carefree, everyone has childhood memories, bitterness, joy, happiness, sadness, all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, children of different eras have different childhood times, slightly different, so that their current world view, outlook on life, values also have a fundamental gap.

The living conditions of the grandparents, fathers and Fang Menan are really different by a century, and in this century, we can see the changes in life and carry a better hope for the future.

"Come on, it's time to eat." Vera said.

Dinner is a porridge side dish, after eating a few days of big fish and meat, the porridge side dish is the most refreshing. (To be continued......)
