It is said that parents are their children's first teachers. That's right.

My in-laws don't talk about eating without dressing, and my father-in-law said: "Province, province, hole, etc.; Fee, fee, come back. He also said, "His body is badly clothed, and his mouth is oily." They also have a set of snorts: "If you dress well on your body and eat badly in your belly, that's called 'poor foreskin'!" ”

My in-laws live a life, and they have to eat hard, but they can't bear it.

My husband is also in that habit.

When I first came to the Northeast, I mailed money to his house every month. In 1960, his hometown had starved to death, and he was afraid that his father and younger brother would starve to death.

The Northeast people said: "There is no seat on the kang, and there is no skin on the face." "I don't even have a kang mat on the kang at home, so I sleep on the earthen kang. The padded jacket my husband was wearing was rotten, and I wanted to sew and mend it, but I didn't have any needle and thread. After I dismantled and washed the quilt, I dismantled and washed a white glove, kneaded it into thread, borrowed a neighbor's needle, and made the quilt.

When he was so poor, he bought two chickens and asked the young Li Bingsuo in the factory to send them back. I'm angry, why do you buy chickens every year? I told Li Bing: "You see that I am so poor that I can't afford to eat, so tell him to retreat." ”

When he came back from work, I asked, "Did the two chickens return?" ”

He said, "Retreat." ”

I said, "We have the money to buy chickens, you can buy a dress to wear." In this place where people live on earth and earth, you are dressed in tatters, and people look down on you. ”

He said, "Got it." ”

Later, I heard that he didn't return the chicken, but used a porcelain basin to wash his face and cook it on the kiln. He couldn't eat the two chickens, so he asked someone else to help him eat them.

At that time, there was a high-end hotel on Anda Sidao Street, which was public.

In 1961, my husband ran out of alkali and went to a high-end restaurant. He wore a dirty and torn padded jacket, with cotton leaking from the cuffs and bottom, a dogskin hat on his head, rubber indigo on his feet, and a wooden shelf on his back, and a sack containing alkali mounds in the shelf. This wooden shelf was made by my third brother, and it is convenient to carry things on my shoulder, and I can carry more of it.

As soon as he went, the waiters saw it. When he saw that there was no one at the table, he set up the wooden shelves and sat down. He shouted "waiter" three or four times in a row, but no one came.

He was in a hurry, walked up to the waiters, and said, "Do you think I'm ugly, or do you think I'm wearing torn?" I'm not here to find someone, I'm here to eat. ”

One of the waiters said he was talking badly, and the two of them got into an argument.

A man came out of the back room, called the front office manager, as it is now called, and he came up and said, "Comrade, comrade, don't be angry, please take a seat." ”

The man brought the recipe to the table: "Whatever you want to eat, you can order it." ”

The husband asked for a fish, a fried pork slices, and two taels of wine.

Not long after, even the wine and vegetables came up, all of which were sent by this person, along with wine glasses, teacups, and a pot of tea.

The husband said, "It's pretty much the same, I'm here to buy food, not to ask for food." ”

The man said, "They are not sensible, don't be like them." ”

It was the first time my husband went to a high-end restaurant, and it was also the first time he drank alcohol, a pot of wine and two taels, it was so spicy that he didn't even drink half of it. He also asked for half a pound of rice and ate it all.

When it came time to check out, he pulled out all the money. At that time, the 10-yuan ticket was called Da Baibian, and he had eight tickets for Dabaibian alone, and there was a lot of change. The meal cost a total of two dollars and nine cents.

When he got home, he asked me, "Have you ever drunk?" ”

I said: "When I was a child, my father came back from the county town to drink, and I never tasted it. Over the years, a foot of intestines has been hungry for eight inches, how can there be money to buy wine? ”

He said: "I went to a high-end hotel today and asked for a pot of wine. ”

"You don't know how to drink, what do you want to drink?"

"I'm not eating twist flowers today, I'm eating that energy." He said, "I carried 73 catties of alkali mound on my back today and walked more than 10 miles. There are still two miles to the market, there is no food in the stomach, and I can't walk to the end. If you don't want to go, you have to go, and you have to go to the market with a strong fighting spirit. It's okay, just arrived at the Sidao Street market, and the alkali dealer came, and he bought it all for a dollar and a catty. I was happy and went to a high-end hotel. ”

He told me what had happened, and I said: "In high-end restaurants, the people who go to eat are high-level people. The waiter ignores you, thinking that you are asking for food, or you are not able to read and go to the wrong door, or you are insane. In the future, let's not go to restaurants that look down on the poor, just go to restaurants with two guises. ”

Nowadays, the hotel is not in the guise of hanging, at that time, there were not many hotels, and they were all hanging. I've heard people say that one is a snack shop, two are medium-sized restaurants, and four are very decent restaurants - the chef is good and the dishes are delicious. The guise of the snack shop, most of them are made by themselves with broken buckets, and the outside is pasted with red paper that is not afraid of rain, and the bottom is a golden paper edge, and some of them are cut on the gold word paste, and some are cut on the cloud word hook paste.

The husband said, "When I went, I didn't have any energy, but when I came back, I was full of energy." Eating in a high-end restaurant is exciting. ”

In 1964, when my second son was three years old, I made him a new pair of pants, which made him very happy. He said to me: "When I wear new clothes and go to a high-end hotel, people pull them upstairs, and I can't go up in torn clothes." ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

He said: "People push down. ”

I asked, "If you go to a high-end restaurant, what will you order?" ”

The son said, "Here's a carrot, here's a hairy squir." ”
