Childhood Memories 1

Hometown on the banks of the Han River, there are rivers, beaches, woods, levees, the most favorite ferry dock.

In the early 1980s, our family was a very ordinary farmhouse, our parents were frugal, and our sisters and brothers grew up without snacks and toys. Uncle's family is the ten thousand yuan household at that time, the uncle's children are my cousins a variety of snacks and toys a lot, remember to go to his house to play always see their adults and children each a bottle of soda, small I saw a special shock, because our family only has a particularly hot time mother will buy a bottle of soda, this bottle of soda my family five people to drink, each person can only drink two sips.

The material conditions are limited, all three of us sisters and brothers are particularly sensible and obedient, and our father (who we call grandpa as daddy) likes us very much and always praises us for being sensible.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, My Father took my uncle's three children and my three siblings to the ferry dock to play, where balloons were sold. My cousin was two years older than me, and when he saw the balloon, he immediately said to Daddy, "Daddy, I want balloons", Daddy bought him one, and Daddy said, "Buy one and you can play together!" ”。 My cousin was the same age as me but in the little month, my cousin and sister were generally older, two years younger than me. My brother was only two years old. My cousin and cousin immediately burst into tears: "I want balloons, I want balloons!" ”。 Daddy said, "You guys are so disobedient, the three of them are so good!" ”。 Seeing that daddy didn't buy it, my cousin and cousin lay on the ground and cried. Helplessly, Daddy bought one of them a balloon, and because my brother also bought one for the youngest, the six-year-old me and the four-year-old sister did not. Daddy said to me, "**, you're the most obedient, you're not going to buy balloons, are you?" ”。 I actually wanted balloons, but I nodded, didn't cry or make a fuss, and watched them play with balloons. That feeling of longing for that envy is still unforgettable, obviously I want balloons so much but I don't say a word that I want balloons.

The uncle's family has good conditions, their children have something they like and know how to get it; my family is generally well-off, my parents are particularly frugal, and my sisters and brothers don't know anything to ask for, and this personality has been affecting the present. Although it is said to be sensible, it is actually a kind of honesty that should not be there. Your happiness, your happiness is often not obtained because you don't fight for it.
