Preface: Write from my hobbies

When I was a teenager, I read the title of Pu Yi's book "The First Half of My Life", and I always felt that time was very far away for me.

Although when I was writing my essays, words and phrases such as the sun and the moon were like arrows, the flick of a finger, and the passage of time often flowed out of my pen and piled up between the lines of the diary, I did not understand the meaning of the words at all.

At that time, I think there were two farthest times, one was the realization of the four modernizations of industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology at the end of this century (2000), and the other was the beautiful melody written in 1980, "In another twenty years, we will meet".

It's just 20 years!

Why did it change from a small field to an old field in a blink of an eye?

I recalled that when I was twenty-nine years old, I planned my life and benefited a lot, so at the age of forty-nine, I came up with the idea of wanting to summarize my first fifty years, and included this in the plans of "Plan My 2019", "Plan My 2020", "Plan My 2021" and "Plan My 2022" for four consecutive years.

The reason why I listed it for four years is because the plan is beautiful, but every time I pick up the pen, I can't find inspiration, and every time I want to write, I basically stare at the computer screen in a daze, and every time I put down the pen, I sigh for more than three years.

What supported me not to give up was always thinking that Lu Yao was also trapped at the beginning when he wrote "Ordinary World".

Even such people are so distressed, let alone nobodies like us.

Determined to continue my search for inspiration!

On a whim the other day, I decided to start with my hobby.

So I ranked my hobbies over the years according to my liking, from the first to the last (now it is ninth, and as I write deeper, it will only increase, not decrease), and during this period, I naturally have to join the past learning process and the interaction of family and friends, all as a summary of more than 50 years.

And taking "Two Out of Fifty" as the upper part of my memoir means that it also lays the groundwork for the future writing of the next part, and I hope everyone can see "My Memoirs (II) - Four Out of a Hundred".

It's hard to get started.

At the beginning, it is estimated that it will be out of control! After roughly calculating, it is possible to write at least more than 100,000 words, and it is possible to write 200,000 words.

Remember!

Cheer for yourself!

Volume 1 Game

Chinese people pay more attention to ranking.

Almost no matter what you do, as long as there are more than two people, two or more things, or two or more choices, etc., this problem is unavoidable.

Therefore, for my many hobbies, it is inevitable to divide into three, six, nine and so on.

Remember that there is a chicken soup for the soul that tortures your soul, assuming that you have achieved financial and health freedom, what do you like to do the most?

Thinking about it, there is no more.

I still think the game is fun in comparison, although choosing others may make you taller, but following your heart, I have to rank it first.

By gaming, I mean games in a broad sense, including, but not limited to, games on consoles, computers, or mobile phones.

In November 2017, I wrote in the article "Thoughts of Morning Reading ~ Reading < to Keep Homesickness, Instead of Thinking of My Hometown and Worrying > Feelings", when I was young, there was no cram school, almost no homework, and no evening self-study, so in the spare time without TV, mobile phone, and network, we only had crazy fun. The daily games are in the kite flying, playing yo-yo, fan piaji (I don't know how these two words are written), playing, smoking ice, playing skate, hiding cats, catching spies, wooden people and other pediatric projects in turn, sometimes I also go to the girls' side to play their games, kicking pockets, jumping rubber bands, kicking shuttlecock (I can now kick more than 20 in a row at a time), 欻 (chua on the sound) Galaha, etc., these games for me without wifi (the first time written as wife, Later, a colleague pointed out that the word was changed to the correct one, which meant that the word was changed to the correct wifi - my English has always been bad) and my childhood was full of happy memories!

I feel that the reason why I am full of happiness is due to my birth and my character.

1. The birth of the environment

Let's start with birth.

Some people say that all roads lead to Rome, but it is undeniable that some people were born in Rome.

I wasn't born in Rome, I wasn't born in a city with an airport to fly directly to Rome, or even a city with a concrete road.

But it's always the county seat.

The main road of the county is also a three-way dirt road made of sand and gravel mixed with white ash and loess, the road is usually very smooth, if the rain is not heavy, it is not muddy to walk on it.

There are bookstores, cinemas, and good education that made me know what to do and how to get to Rome.

Although it is not enough to be compared with the above, it is definitely more than the bottom.

A person's childhood experiences can definitely have a profound impact on his life.

I was born in Helen on November 18, 1969 (I later learned that people born on this day belong to Scorpio, and I am a typical Scorpio).

Helen is the Manchu word for "otter".

It is a small northern city located in the central part of HLJ province, north of SH city, 210 km south of HEB city and 370 km north of HH city, with a city area of 4,667 square kilometers. It was established in 1898, renamed Hailun County in 1913, and withdrawn from the county in 1989 to establish a city. There are 23 townships, 243 administrative villages, 1,291 natural tuns, 7 sub-district offices and 25 communities. It enjoys the reputation of China's high-quality soybean, China's high-starch corn, China's sweet mushroom girl, and China's folk art. The place where the railway worker Li Yuhe fought in the model drama "Red Lantern" is here.

When I was born, it was not a city, but called Hailun County, which is a well-known grain-producing county in the country, and in 1958, it provided a pound of grain per capita for 600 million people in the country, and was awarded a certificate of merit; In 1978, it was identified as a county of the National Agricultural Modernization Comprehensive Scientific Experimental Base and a National Commercial Grain Base County.

My parents are both teachers in the county, and my father was originally a chemistry teacher in the first middle school, and then he was transferred to the teacher training school, and then he was prepared to build and work in the workstation of the university.

My mother was first transferred to the second middle school and then to the fifth middle school, both of which taught mathematics. Later, he was transferred to Helen Normal School.

Although the county seat is not large, it is still very busy every morning to bring in the stove, make breakfast, and then ride a bicycle to work. At that time, we only knew crazy and couldn't help at all, and more often than not, we still added to the chaos.

At that time, the salary of two teachers was enough to make the family worry about food and clothing (I am the boss, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister behind, because my younger brother has been sick since he was a child, they don't have this treatment), plus it is very close to my grandmother's house, as a smart and clever person, every time I go back to my grandmother's house, I am five aunts and three uncles who are crazy to rob (the children born behind me basically do not have this treatment), at that time the decision is in my hands, if I let whoever hug that person will definitely be happy for a long time, Today I want to say no thank you for the happiness that I was able to bring them because I let them rob it, you can imagine that kind of extremely favored scene. It's a pity that it is too far away from the grandparents' house in Shandong, and the grandmother died early, so there is almost no impression, and there is a lot less love from the grandmother, and I can only know from my father's memories that I was once favored......

At that time, my grandmother's house was very close to the food factory at the north gate.

It is a large compound with a row of mud and straw houses in the middle of the courtyard.

I still remember that on the left side of the house was an open utility room, and at the back of the barn was the outdoor toilet that everyone who lived in the bungalows at the time.

Climbing up from this barn is a boxy window with a small door, and the entrance is the roof of the main house.

I can't remember how many times I climbed in from the small window to play, and if I ran too fast inside, the ashes would fall from the roof below, and when the adults came back and found the dust on the kang, they would know that I must have run to the roof to play again.

I don't know if I've been scolded or not.

Anyway, next time.

It can be seen that parents should not beat and scold their children, because it is ineffective.

Another memorable thing is that the house is surrounded by cherry trees.

Every fruiting season, the cherry trees are full of red and red, and they stand under the tree and eat them as they pluck and eat.

My fourth aunt once said that I was too naughty when I was a child, and I often broke branches and ate them when adults were not paying attention.

I absolutely admit it.

But what I remember is that I definitely didn't break it a few times.

Because I didn't know that I couldn't break off the branches, I asked why I couldn't after being trained, and the answer I got from the adults was that after breaking off the branches, the cherries would not be able to continue to grow on the branches.

There will be no cherries to eat in the future.

I haven't eaten like this since.

The cherries of the year were sweet.

That sweetness is engraved in the soul, and it is still evocative, killing all the same kind today.

Two days ago, I went to the fruit store to buy a car ion for my wife that she was willing to eat, she washed it and let me eat it together, I politely refused and said that this thing is dozens of dollars a pound, or you can eat it.

I don't know if she was moved when she heard it.

In fact, I really can't look down on this cloud of Wushan.

Every time the cherries were ripe, my grandfather would take his rod scale (of course, this kind of scale has long been eliminated now, but it is still sold in the morning market as an old object, and every time I see it, I always think of the past), carrying baskets of cherries to the watch company to sell.

I still remember that the cherries in the basket are covered with some fallen leaves, and the red, green, and green colors are very attractive.

It can be seen that the grandfather had a natural intuition for the promotion of goods.

At that time, it didn't seem to be expensive anything.

Cherries are only a few pennies a pound.

It is the accumulation of these pennies and pennies, coupled with the thin body and hard work to feed a large family, plus the same hard work of aunts and uncles, so that such a large family can survive, and even some children still have books to read - the fourth aunt told me that my grandfather once said that the children in the family, whether boys or girls, as long as they want to read, read as long as they want.

This was extremely rare in that patriarchal era.

Because of hard work, even in the most difficult years, the family had surplus food, and the children were well fed, never borrowed money or goods outside, and would give us children some New Year's money every Chinese New Year.

In the era when you can buy a pound of cherries for a few cents, you can buy a popsicle for five cents, and you can buy a villain book for a dime or two, those two yuan and five yuan New Year's money are very valuable.

The grandfather, who had been industrious and simple all his life, was supposed to have a job, but when he found out that he couldn't support a large family with his salary alone, he gave up his stable job and joined the vegetable club.

In his opinion, at least he can make the family eat with his own hard work in the vegetable club.

Facts have proved that his hard work has indeed fed the whole family.

When I was a child, I hardly saw my grandfather sleep, he was busy when I slept, and he was already working in the fields when I got up.

In his memory, he has always been like this, getting up early and returning late, working non-stop.

This kind of thrift accompanies the elderly throughout their lives.

I remember one time, he came to Daqing, I accompanied him to buy vegetables, there were two piles of potatoes, one side was broken for 1 yuan 1 pile, and the other side was good for 2 yuan 1 pile.

Grandpa told me directly, how to click bad potatoes - it should be these two words - and click (that is, to peel off) can not go down half, or 1 yuan 1 pile that is cost-effective, so we bought that pile of 1 yuan - a few days ago when I went underground with my wife to buy potatoes I also told her this trick, but unfortunately she didn't pay attention to me.

My grandfather went to a private school when he was young, which was almost extremely rare in those days.

He has a wide range of knowledge and likes to read, and I have read the books he reads, which are thread-bound, and I can't remember the titles.

He once told me about the upper ninth stream, the middle ninth stream and the lower ninth stream, I only remember that the upper ninth stream is a first-class Buddha, a second-rate immortal, a third-rate emperor and a fourth-rate official, and the others have forgotten - I have been Baidu many times and have not found this version that my grandfather told me. Among the other nine streams, there is a pedicure in front of the shaved head, I was extremely puzzled at the time, according to my understanding, the head shaving should be a little higher than the pedicure ranking, after all, the feet smell. My grandfather told me that the pedicure was sitting, so it was ranked high, and the shaved head was standing, so it was ranked lower, and I talked a lot at the time, but unfortunately I don't remember most of them.

And now, my grandfather's three uncles, two aunts and five aunts have passed away for many years, may they no longer work hard, no longer tired, and be happy in heaven.

In the movie "Dream Travel", it is said that "when a person is forgotten by the world, he really disappears from the world", and I hope they will not be forgotten by us.

At least live in my words.

At least!

I was also very impressed by my second uncle, who had been gone for many years in the blink of an eye.

I still remember when I was a child, once he came to the house to see me steaming sticky bean buns at home, when he entered the house, the stewed pot - now it's called a steamer - just steamed, I opened it and was ready to eat, he quickly stopped, told me that the raw sticky bean buns had to be steamed for at least 20 minutes, and then steamed for about half an hour before eating, because he said that I had opened the lid once just now, so I had to steam it for a while.

Once I saw Jiashu, the second uncle's daughter, missing her in the circle of friends, and stayed quietly for a long time......

I thought about it a lot, I remembered the kite he helped me paste, I remembered that he rode my bicycle to carry me around, and I remembered the dumplings that I took back from Harbin when I was away from home and brought me back from renting out the villain book at the train station......

It's like yesterday......

Unlike my childhood when I grew up with my classmates and friends, my childhood was happy.

This sense of happiness isn't just because I'm naturally optimistic.

It also stems from living conditions.

For childhood, my memories are:

Canned luncheon meat!

Biscuits in a travel bag brought back from Tianjin!

Shanghai's White Rabbit Milk Candy!

Fluffy long white cake!

Rice flower candy cut into cubes!

Sweet canned oranges (two days ago, when I ate canned oranges with my wife, I said that the current ones are not as delicious as the pure white sugar I ate when I was a child)!

I remember the green tweed coat I wore as a toddler!

The first submachine gun in the county that can be fired with flint (according to my father, this gun was bought from Shanghai, it cost 10 yuan at the time, he said that the price of pork at that time was 0.78 yuan 1 catty, noodles 0.16 yuan 1 catty, in that era of eating dumplings even if it was the New Year, this gun is definitely a luxury, every night, I took the gun out, the gun body flashed with red electric light and the barrel sprayed sparks, vibrating the streets)!

The first big petal yo-yo bought from Shanghai on the whole street (maybe the county) (this yo-yo is still there, and my parents were afraid that I would lose it, so they kindly helped me put it away)!

A large, enlarged color photograph of me when I was eight months old hanging in the window of the Helen County Photo Studio!

Hundreds of villain books that are being borrowed by neighbors!

As for the red and blue pencils and pencil sharpeners that made my friends envious in preschool (the reason why I remember it is because my friends have never seen these two things, everyone sharpened the pencil with a pencil sharpener, but the pen was cut into a pencil head by more than a dozen children and beaten by their parents before it was used), the erhu that was pulled for a few days, the brand-new red double happiness table tennis racket with red face, the pocket chess brought back from Shanghai, the basketball I owned alone, etc., these small things are not worth mentioning, plus hundreds of childhood photos record my carefree childhood.

I have a big photo of me when I am eight months old hanging in the window of the photo studio in Hailun County - I don't have color, the photo studio has, the color photos of the year are all hand-painted by the master of the photo studio, this technology is still significantly stronger in Shanghai, and the color photos that my father painted for our brothers and sisters have been bright for so many years, just like the beginning. At least that big photo was there when I moved to Daqing, but unfortunately I didn't go back or remake it. According to his father, the photo studio had called him and said that a children's digestive medicine factory named Fat Desheng had taken a fancy to the photo and wanted to print it on the product packaging. came to ask for opinions, there must have been no child star Internet celebrity and property rights consciousness at that time, and my father naturally agreed, saying that he didn't consider whether he wanted money or not. I joked at the time that my father liked to show off his personality - this character was also inherited to me, and I was afraid that he would agree to ask him for 10 yuan. It's a pity that information communication in those days was not as convenient as it is now, and I didn't see the final product. Otherwise, with my father's character, it would have been saved for me.
