Resignation of Erniu (Series 3)

Erniu's childhood was still relatively happy, although the family was poor, television had not been bought, and the clothes they ate and wore were not good, but in that era, people were poor, and the economy was at least no foreign debt. Erniu's father has a mild temper and does not get angry with his children much, of course, when he is idle, he plays chess and cards and does not pay much attention to his children. Rural life has its own pleasures and pains, farm work is heavy, the whole summer has to be busy until the beginning of winter, after the winter people have nothing to do idle. Erniu's mother and grandmother have been spinning cotton thread weaving fabrics in winter, of course, not for their own use, at that time there were few ways to earn money, and basically eat and wear to be self-sufficient.

Cotton is first elastic and then rolled into strips with a spinning wheel spun into thread, and then dyed and then woven into cotton on a loom, of course, this cloth comes out relatively coarse, but it is a pure cotton knot practical for ten years no problem. In the winter, in the living room of the Erniu family, there will be a loom grandma and mother who take turns weaving. The cloth is woven to make sheets or added to the bounced cotton and sewn into a quilt. Although Erniu's mother is not literate, she has learned to cut shoe patterns from others, can make cotton jackets, and can also take soles, which is an essential skill for many rural women to survive, in addition to selling crops, there is no money to save money and reduce expenses.

Erniu's father also worked odd jobs in the winter at that time, he grew bold and cautious in the eyes of others' discrimination, and his brain was also smart enough to go to school, but for historical reasons, the school stopped making a revolution after going to high school (primary school senior grade) and did not go to school, but the habit of reading books and newspapers has been retained, and affected his three children. The only place where rural odd jobs come from is to help people build houses as a small worker, and Erniu's father is not skilled enough to be a big worker and can only do manual work. Before dawn, he rode a broken bicycle for an hour or so to the place, often returning after dark, and the reward for a day was 5 yuan a pack of cigarettes + lunch. You don't want to steal and slip, because the people who work together are not fools, and naturally no one shouts to work after you are lazy. But still earn too little money, the family's three children went to school, until the second cow sister was admitted to the best high school in the county, the father of the second cow finally could not withstand the economic pressure to go to the city to work, no skills can only do physical work, pull the car. When the farmer is idle, the scooter is idle, walking dozens of kilometers to the city, of course, the work of pulling the scooter is also introduced by the villagers, and he himself has no original courage. The first winter took back 800 yuan in 3 months, and the New Year was very happy. He has not yet touched the way to make money, he can only do the fixed work there, he will not go to take private work to help people move, and the money earned later as he becomes more familiar with the door also increases. Erniu's two sisters are very good at studying, of course, they are very famous in the village, and Erniu himself is not bad. Erniu and his two sisters became the children of other people in the village's parents. But in the primary school era, everyone did not know the effort, in fact, the three brothers and sisters were very talented, and finally they were admitted to undergraduate colleges and universities, jumping out of the farm door to live in the city.

Erniu Primary School's childhood is still quite happy, although Erniu is one or two years younger than the children in the same class, thin and small, but by learning good teachers, no one to bully him. Erniu has been a timid and thin-skinned person since he was a child, he is easy to be nervous and dare not speak, and it is easy to stutter, when he was a child, he shouted five hundred because of nervousness and became a five turtle, which became a joke among everyone. When I grew up, I still saw teachers and leaders nervous, and I also stuttered, until I changed it after I was in my 30s.
