1984 was the most special year of my childhood, just 11 years old, the first time I went to the provincial capital Nanchang, the first time I saw a train, the first time I took a train, the first time I saw the sea, and I had the first trip in the true sense.

This year, when the chaos came to an end, my father and his college classmates began their final efforts, and in October, they gathered in Nanchang again to ask for the implementation of policies and work arrangements in the province.

My father has rich experience in schooling, and he is in love with the hot era, but he is up and down in the wind and waves, such an experience has not created earth-shattering achievements, and in the end, he is in a corner of the mountains and wilderness, with some resignation gestures, and steals his life.

The world is hard, born in a peasant family, suppressed or even persecuted, frequent movements, going deep into the bottom, following the times, chasing the trend, the future is unclear, the understanding is unclear, it is indeed difficult to fight, who can fight, it is not easy to survive.

Young people are the most high-spirited, everyone has earth-shattering ambitions, my father must have also worked, and he must have worked hard for this, but he certainly did not achieve it, perhaps it is precisely because of such efforts that he has brought about unwarranted disasters.

Don't say that in that era, even now, there were a few people who could realize their life ambitions, but most of them worked hard to achieve results, and their lives were dull from then on.

No effort has no result, no effort is not achieved after the effort, the process of hard work is not a result, life is therefore colorful, the past is therefore worth recalling, time is not wasted, a few years later, I will feel that my youth is worthy of being called young Shaohua.

Father's experience of young people accumulated middle-aged precipitation, broad horizons, good realm, when the bicycle was still a rare thing in the countryside, he taught the fifth uncle to repair the bicycle, when the bicycle just appeared in the countryside, the fifth uncle with this skill, the first on the side of the road to set up a car repair stall, knocked on the door to get rich.

Father's love is like steel, and he may never have thought that he wanted us to get ahead, achieve an extraordinary career, and even have no harsh requirements for our learning, but father's love can be seen everywhere, and when I graduated from high school and stepped into society, I felt deeply and was moved to tears.

When I was still an ignorant teenager, my father had far-reaching considerations, which was that as long as there was an opportunity, he would bring us into contact with the outside world, enrich our experience, increase our courage, and open our horizons.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this consideration that my father brought me to Nanchang this time, and I saw the city for the first time and was exposed to urban life, which was indeed greatly affected, and also laid the foundation for me to develop a character of not being cowardly and not stage frightened in the future.

At that time, the traffic was just a little smoother, and the passenger car was no longer a monotonous county bus station, often one or two flights a day, the time was fixed, once missed, you had to wait for the next one, maybe a few hours, maybe the next day.

In this case, some economically minded private individuals have purchased medium-sized buses and are engaged in individual passenger transport. Borrowing the pronunciation of English buses, medium-sized buses are relatively large buses, one is called a minibus and the other is a bus.

The bus is less frequent, and the number of buses is not very much, but it effectively solves the problem of not waiting for a car for a few hours, or not waiting for a car at the end of a day, and the bus has been running back and forth on the road, every one or two hours, there is always one.

Although it was a lot smoother, because the number was too small, each ride was extremely crowded, for example, there was only one at the beginning of the bath, and then two or three cars were added one after another, and these people quickly formed a group, relatively monopolized, and no longer allowed others to join.

If you force you to join, they will use the method of two cars to follow, one in front and one behind, so that you can't pull a single guest. Later, the county bus station turned into a business, and they used the same method to compete with the county bus station. The county bus station is full of large buses, and there are often two medium buses with a large bus in between.

In addition to the bus, some people also bought a three-wheeled car with a canopy, the brand name is Longma three-wheeled car, which is referred to as Ryoma. Ryoma is comparatively cheaper, lighter and more flexible, becoming another effective addition to easing traffic, especially in the countryside, or one or two, becoming the only means of transportation to go out.

No matter which one, because of the small number, and particularly crowded, the impression of the sharp corner brigade under the bath also has a dragon horse, driving between the bath and the sharp corner, sometimes will come to our side, this time to the provincial capital, take this dragon horse, bumpy to the main road leading to the county under the bath.

Wait for the bus on the side of the road, crowd all the way to the county seat, and then transfer to the bus, which is still crowded to the provincial capital.

Such crowding often hopes that the driver will start early, but they always wait until the crowd can no longer fit one more person, and then push and shove the door shut and start the car to set off. Sometimes when it's time to set off, people haven't loaded enough, and after starting the vehicle, they move forward slowly, hoping to install one more.

Money into private pockets, even if a few are relatively constrained and the departure time is fixed, it will be rubbed all the way after the start. The conductor was either his own family member or a partner overseer, shouting all the way, "Go to the county seat, leave immediately." ”

The bus to the provincial capital, there is also a private purchase and operation, and to the county seat, after the start, all the way to the grind, all the way shouting, "go to Nanchang, go to Nanchang, go immediately, leave immediately."

Because of the crowded, unpretentious country people, they value the relationship with the driver and conductor, and they often decide whether you have a seat or not, and even decide whether to let you ride. The driver is more popular, and his cab position has a hood that covers the engine, which can be used for riding.

The front end of the hood is the handle of the gear, and the mountain road is rough, up and down, steep and uneven, and the speed and power must be changed frequently by changing gears. Because it may affect the gear shift, only he can decide whether he can ride or not.

The driver also decides where to park, whether to stop next to you when you get in the car, or to let you run a certain distance, to stop in front of your house or at a junction when you get out, or to drag a heavy object up to a few hundred meters.

The conductor generally obeys the driver, but there are also advantages, reminding whether to get off at the station, whether to open the door or close the door to refuse to board, when the relationship is good, even if you can't squeeze in, you will try to make a place for you to stay.

When people go to the county seat, they often bring a lot of things, and when they come back, they often purchase a lot of luggage or heavy objects, whether they want to add money, let them not go, and the driver does not intervene, all in the mouth of the conductor.

Those who can sit on the hood of the engine generally take out a box of cigarettes and distribute them all the way to the driver, enthusiastically helping them, spitting smoke while looking for some words to cover it.

At that time, the management of bamboo and wood in the mountainous area was very strict, and the forestry department set up a bamboo and wood checkpoint at the throat of the road, once investigated, not only confiscated but also heavily punished, the crowded bus can be covered, and the narrow passage on the car can often see a few bamboo trees hidden by the drivers.

This kind of crowding was the same until he graduated from the military academy and was assigned to the army to go home to visit relatives. It was not until the popularization of public transportation in urban and rural areas and the emergence of private cars that they began to change.

Up to now, there is a bus in urban and rural areas every half an hour, especially in remote places, there are also a few cars that depart and arrive at a fixed time, and the bus is no longer crowded, and in most cases it cannot be full, and even sometimes a trip down, there is not a passenger.

And now the traffic management is particularly strict, can not overcrowd driving, otherwise will face serious penalties, it is hard to imagine, at that time, a car crowded to the foot of passengers, carrying how much danger.

Especially in the mountainous area of the road walking, the road is narrow, often only one car passes, the stream next to it is often dozens of zhang cliffs, the gravel road is often uneven, bumpy and walking, the body rises and falls, when the speed is fast, and even the whole vehicle is upside down, I am really afraid of an accidental, bumpy under the boulder through the bottom of the cliff.

When encountering a car, sometimes have to retreat to an open place to give way, bold and experienced drivers, often take the risk of squeezing through, the wheels almost hang on the cliff, and the ride is terrifying, like a life and death adventure.

Worry is not superfluous, during the ride, you can often see the shape of the vehicle at the bottom of the cliff, often a black empty shell, apparently the fuel tank was burned after the fall, lying on the stream rocks, looking at it is afraid, I don't know what kind of tragic situation has happened.

Riding a bicycle is too hard, and it is convenient to have a minibus, even if it is so thrilling, and then go to my aunt's house, I would rather choose to take a minibus. Fortunately, it has been safe, only frightened and not in danger.

There have been too many stories on the cramped and crowded private minibus, and when I met those old drivers, I was able to tell a basket, and every time I talked about the hood of the engine, my eyebrows always danced, and this is their treasure place to attract beautiful women, and every bit of it can be recalled by them.

During that time, the social side was relatively chaotic, some young people in society, relying on their fists to dominate, rampant on the bus, the driver and the conductor were giving three points, not only did not give the ticket money, but also often forcibly occupied the position, fights and brawls often occurred.

After arriving in Nanchang, my father's classmates stayed in an executive center, and I had the impression that they might have stayed for two or three days, my father got married late, and several of his classmates brought their own children, all of whom were already big girls.

One of my father's classmates, the daughter has been living in Nanchang, maybe she is studying, maybe she is married, I don't remember very clearly, I only remember that she was dressed fashionably, behaved generously, talked well, and the elegance and calmness of the city people.
