Wang Qiming was born in 1931 in Wangji, Heze, and his grandfather was a scholar and a tribute instructor of the Qing Dynasty. When it came to the land reform, my grandfather was a rich peasant and my father was a middle peasant.

When Tian Qiming was in the year, there was a cow and a horse in the family. A fortune teller told his grandmother, "You have the life of a cow and a horse, and if you have two horses and a cow, you won't survive." ”

A few years later, life at home got better and better, and I forgot about it.

In 1935, my grandfather bought another horse. It was this year that my grandmother gave birth to a third uncle and had postpartum stroke.

At that time, when Mr. was a cow, he had to use a sedan chair to invite him, and when he came to eat egg noodles, he had to prepare smoke bubbles to wait. That's it, it's also one by one, and I don't look at my grandmother's illness.

I heard that Mr. Cao in the south of the city is the most famous, and my grandfather asked my father to catch the car to invite him. This Mr. Cao said more, he asked for a new basin, a new towel, and a basin shelf. Washbasin towels are easy to do, and there is nowhere to buy basin shelves.

Fortunately, there is a family in front of him, and his son is the commander of the Kuomintang division outside, and he heard that there is a basin shelf in his house, and his father borrowed it from him. This Mr. Cao also did not cure his grandmother's illness, and his grandmother was only thirty-seven or eighteen years old when she died.

In June of the lunar calendar of 1937, when the millet had just come out of the ears and the weather was hot, the men went outside to find a windy place to sleep, and the women and children spread a foil on the ground and spread a mat on it to sleep in the yard. There are many mosquitoes at night, and there are few people with mosquito nets, and wherever they sleep, they are called mosquitoes biting and can't sleep. It rained in the middle of the night, and everyone in the village went back to the house. slept until the fifth watch, and the earth shook, shaking more and more fiercely for a while.

Someone shouted: "It's not good, the sky is falling!" Let's get out there! ”

It was raining, the ground was wading in water, and adults and children ran out and ran under the big tree in the village.

Qiming had diarrhea that day, afraid of rain, so his mother stayed with him in the Westinghouse and didn't run out. The ground shook, the house shook, and things slammed. The ground shook for a long time, but fortunately the house did not fall.

Later, I heard that this was a five-magnitude earthquake, and the houses covered with leather on the village (note: the inside is adobe, and the outside is a brick house) collapsed, and a horse and four people were killed in front of it.

There was a husband in the Wang family who was deaf, and when the earthquake occurred, the daughter-in-law ran out, and when she saw that her husband did not come out, she went back to look for it. The house collapsed, the daughter-in-law was stoned to death inside, and the husband was fine.

Qiming's big house is fine, there is a crooked hut, there is a jar of pickles in the house, and two jars of wine are more than 300 catties, all of which are destroyed. There is a second door in the family (note: the second door of the rich family, generally a wooden pillar, tile roof, looks like a gazebo from a distance), grandpa came back from outside this day, just stepped over the second door, the second door fell, almost did not hit grandpa.

When the sun shone on the treetops, the eldest mother gave birth to a child, named Guangdong, who was Qiming's cousin. Now, Guangdong is also seventy-nine years old.

At that time, everyone didn't know what the earthquake was about, and they talked about everything. Some say that this is the fish turned over, some say that this is Wang Xiang lying fish, and some say that Jiang Ziya fished Ruyi and took the bait.

After the earthquake, my grandfather was afraid of another earthquake, so he went to sleep in the car house with Qiming every night. The car house is not high, and it is dedicated to putting cars. The big cart of the family has four wooden wheels, and the outer wheels are wrapped around iron, and they are used to deliver dung, pull crops, go to relatives, and marry daughters-in-law. The carriage is flat, just enough to lie flat for two people. Once, it rained at night, and the rain stopped before it reached the bottom of the carriage. Grandpa said, this is called a Taiping car.

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the plague came to Wangji. Many people have malaria, saying that they are shivering with cold, saying that they can't stand the heat, and they are like good people in the past. There were no fewer deaths in this plague.

After the Japanese arrived in Shandong, my father joined the 19th Army.

It didn't take long for the 19th Army to let the Japanese break up.

In his twenties, my father came home, wearing a woman's big padded jacket, gray and dirty, and tattered.

In 1938, the Japanese went to Wangji to sweep up, and all the people in Wangji ran out. There was a single-plank bridge over the river, and they all ran over it.

When I heard that the Japanese were gone, Wang Ji's people went home, and when they walked to the river, no one dared to cross the single-plank bridge, so they all turned to other bridges to go home.

Qiming went to school in Zhaotang, and the school teachers included the Communist Party, the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang Three Youth League. The Japanese asked the school to have Japanese language classes, and the teacher taught them Mencius in Japanese classes. The teacher and the students divided into several groups, and some people tried to pull him in, but other students said, "He is too small." "He didn't get in anywhere. Some of these teachers later became the Eighth Route Army, some became the head of the Kuomintang township, and some were traitors.

In 1942, when Qiming was about to graduate, he caught up with cholera, vomited and diarrhea, and more than a dozen people died in a village. I don't know whose idea it was, so let's write two words on the egg, one side is "catch", and the other side is "take advantage", both of which mean to drive away. Wrap the eggs with red thread, put the paper on the outer bread and wet it in water, then enlarge the bottom of the pot and bury it with a fire, cook it and eat it, saying that it works. Qiming ate the roasted egg and slowly got better; Others also eat good and some eat for free.

When the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army were in a tug-of-war, the Kuomintang was in the city and the Communists were outside the city. Qiming carried a ladder for the Eighth Route Army, one for two people. When it was time to eat, he ate as if he were at home, and the man who carried the ladder with him said, "The gun doesn't have long eyes, and if you say it's not alive, you're dead, and you can still eat?" ”

Qiming said: "I'm hungry, so I'll eat when I'm hungry." ”

After eating a full meal, Qiming also carried a ladder. I called it the night before, and the next day the sun went down and called home.

A few years after the death of my grandmother, my grandfather followed my grandmother, who was twelve years older than Qiming and was a kind village girl, younger than my father and mother. Grandpa hired someone to steam wine, rice wine, millet wine were all obtained, lost money, and the family sold a lot of land in those two years.

When Qiming was seven or eight years old, his family still had 100 acres of land, and the Wang family was separated, and his grandfather left more than 70 acres. At the time of the land reform, it was divided into two parts, one rich peasant and one middle peasant. Dad has planted land in Wangji all his life.

In 1950, Qiming was admitted to the Pingyuan Cadre School, and after graduation, he was first assigned to Shanxian Huxi Bank, and later transferred to Juye, where he worked in the county pharmaceutical company until his retirement.

In the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of the Wang family moved from Shanxi and settled in Heze. That place was originally called Yangji, and there was a Yangjiajing. In the future, there were many Wang families, and when the village was built, it was called Wang Ji. Their branch is Ding Wang, Grandpa Qiming's generation has five brothers, Dad's branch is still five brothers, and his two brothers. Later, there were many members of the Kong family, the Liu family, and the Shao family, and Wang Ji changed his name to Kong Lou.
