I remember the Xinglong Middle School in the glory days, that is, the Third Middle School of Yanjin County at that time, and the influence of junior high schools in the whole county was first-class. Students in the county who have the conditions to travel far away to study junior high schools in other places are eager to choose the school of Shiojin No. 3 Middle School.
But in the early eighties, when reading was very difficult, and even more so at the bottom of the countryside, although the cold door out of the noble son seemed to be a common tendency in that era, but the gross enrollment rate of rural students in junior high school was very low. Literacy projects, night schools, have not really flourished, and intellectuals at the bottom of the rural areas are rare and very expensive. If there are students who can afford junior high school, this family is in the eyes of the neighbors, which is also a precursor to the shining lintel.
A year or two into the 1980s, my remote rural areas, land contracts to households for just one or two years, even the road of reform and opening up has not been completely straightened out. Digging up mountains and ploughing soil to serve crops is the main owner's class as a farmer's son. At that time, my situation was theory, after graduating from a five-year primary school, I should consider getting married and starting a family to support myself independently. Although the graduation results are first-class, there is little hope of going to school again, and it is good that the neighbors advise their parents to reluctantly support the school with the strength of the whole family, and the original junior high school in Hongxiang is an affiliated school with the center, called the attached middle school. That is the product of the special period of school running model, why is the junior high school attached to the primary school, rather than the primary school attached to the junior high school?
The three years of junior high school are divided into two parts
But I all thought that when we graduated from this primary school, the attached middle school was actually gone, according to the division of the school district at the higher level, the junior high school had to go to Xinglong Middle School, seventy or eighty miles away from home. Inconvenient transportation, few vehicles, even if there is a car, the whole body is deflated, there is no condition to enjoy the blessing of sitting in the car. After going to Xinglong Middle School to read the autumn semester of the first year of junior high school, the students in the county who considered Niuzhai were studying in Xinglong Middle School, which was really difficult, so a very humane decision was made: Niuzhai junior high school students, since the spring semester of the second year, in principle, returned to Niuzhai to continue their studies, and the address was chosen in the current Niuzhai Middle School. Spring registration time. A total of about 60 students came, and Teacher Wang Zhongyuan returned to Niuzhai to continue to be our class teacher, the class named Yanjin No. 3 Middle School Niuzhai Class (that is, Yanjin No. 3 Middle School Class 16). After reading the second grade of junior high school, the climate has changed again - the Niuzhai class of Yanjin No. 3 Middle School still returns to the headquarters of Xinglong Middle School, and once again personally practices the journey of reading in the distant mountains and rivers. After the class returned to the main department, it was again divided into two graduating classes and continued to study.
The family made me a rectangular wooden box with a fir board, brushed it with red lacquer grass, and a classmate who was admitted to Xinglong Middle School at the same time in the team, accompanied by his parents, went to Xinglong Middle School in his hometown to go to school, and finally achieved his wish to go to junior high school, of course, it was a kind of premature sneaking joy.
"One loose, two tight and three desperate", at the opening ceremony, the principal clearly warned the teachers and students of the school, but for the tension and desperation of the second and third grades of the junior high school, in the first period of the junior high school, it must not be easily spent, that is, once you enter the junior high school, you must take out the courage and action of the desperate sanlang to fight for yourself to fight a way to live.
The class teacher is also Wang Zhongyuan, who went down from hongo attached middle school that semester, and he is very conscientious in his work, letting us algebra, and teaching is easy to understand.
On campus, there are only three main buildings, the main teaching building has four floors, and the secondary teaching building is two floors, all of which are mixed stone structures and wooden floors are divided into floors. The secondary teaching building is divided into two floors with floor slabs, with a male dormitory on the upper floor and a classroom on the lower floor. There is a teacher's dormitory building, a pure wooden string house, also two floors, separated by wooden floors. The canteen is a one-story building, two large rooms, stone mixed structure, each open two windows, that is, the window for students to queue up for meals, early 7:30 in the morning, lunch at 12:00, dinner at 5:30 in the afternoon.
I don't know what the situation is in the girls' dormitory, and I never dare to cross the thunder pool. The boys' dormitory has no beds, which is no more solid and exquisite than the steel frame beds on the upper and lower floors of the boarding primary school dormitory. A chase hall, how big the classroom is below, how big is the upstairs dormitory, and one room sleeps more than ten or twenty students.
The floor slab is swept clean, the lamp and grass mats brought with it are directly spread on the floor slab, the five or six pounds of cotton wool is covered, the chaff or the grain ash is the pillow of the inner gourd (it can contain wild cotton, that is a high-class goods and luxury goods), a simple set of clothes packed in a wooden box, and a face wash worth two or two cents and a basin shared by one or two yuan for washing face and feet, and the items for living and living are "complete".
The study schedule and rest time is similar to that of the current middle school, which is morning self-study plus four main classes, three full classes in the afternoon, and two to three evening self-study sessions in the evening.
Dietary deprivation
Although it is the early stage of reform and opening up, there is still a shortage of materials at the grass-roots level, and economic development is slowly moving forward. There are almost no snacks under the stomach throughout the day, and the oil and meat are extremely weak, resulting in a large increase in food intake for middle and high school students who are at the peak of physical growth, and many students are in a semi-hungry state every day in school.
School breakfast is mainly porridge, now the porridge in the early morning is mainly thin, is more rice soup, that is our porridge is mainly rice, thick, sticky, not able to see the shadow of people, five cents to play a bowl of dry will also be able to maintain the energy of all the courses in the morning. There is rice in the lunch, there are also baogu noodle rice, of course, can not be compared with the current baogu noodle rice, the current baogu noodles are very exquisite, is faded thick shell. That is our countryside with stone grinding (Leizi) to push fine, through a sieve, the law to go to the rough, but the fine coarse skin is still there, eat dry and hard and prickly, but even so, as long as the rice is not beaten off the number of meals, not hungry rice is considered a happy day. In school must also have a hard life, crazy long body can not suppress the appetite of the upward rush, we manly students generally eat at least half a pound, dishes, the best choice to eat less, one is that there are not a few dishes in the canteen itself, and the other is relatively expensive to eat vegetables. Every Monday and Tuesday, I simply stopped cooking, returned to the dormitory with rice, took out the fried beans and mixed sea peppers in the glass bottle brought home on the weekend, took it out of the wooden box, took some bowls and hot rice to eat, I could eat enough, if I felt that the rice was dry, I could wait for the students who were lined up in several columns to eat, and I went to ask my grandmother uncle in the canteen to scoop some vegetable soup to drink, and occasionally the surface of the vegetable soup was still floating with a few shiny oil stars. For me, who had been hungry before, this was a very happy thing at the time.
After all, the number of trips home is very limited, there is no fried bean paste sea pepper or salt vegetables to eat, then there is only a hard scalp to beat five cents to eat, if you play a dime, it is a luxury behavior.
After a few evening self-study sessions, the empty stomach of the revolution revolted, dragging the students to the supper market outside the school gate, saying that it was not too much to say that it was a market, and thirty or forty people from the surrounding zhuang households, pinching the time node of the evening self-study class, gathered outside the school gate, and pulled out a long queue of supper stalls. Thick porridge (also mixed with a little salt vegetables) five points per bowl, dry and delicious red amaranth per bowl of five points, hot salt bun a corner, noodles, cold noodles a corner of a bowl, bao gu rice five points steamed bun five points, as well as scribbles, hemp sugar, gouache and other categories, we poor children are really hungry can not stay up, will go to the supper market, generally buy two or three stages of red amaranth to coax the stomach. It was not blown, and at that time, the thriving red amaranth was particularly delicious, and it was estimated that it could at least be named in the whole county. Dry and crispy, soft and soft, pink, at this time, I also feel a long aftertaste.
Once a classmate brought a small piece of bacon from home to the school, ready to fight with a few good classmates to fight tooth sacrifice, but there are many people and less meat, the big guys took advantage of the wind and dark moon, sneaked into the vegetable field of the farmhouse, plucked five or six lettuce, the leaves boiled broth, the stems fried bacon, especially crispy, now the aftertaste, still full of flavor.
Quality to the grades
In the first semester of the first year of the first year of junior high school in Xinglong, every time I went home, I always went back and forth to the deep bays between the school and the home, and the mountains were long, especially on Sundays to rush back to school. It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon after class on Saturday, and I didn't dare to think about the shuttle bus in my pocket, not to mention that the vehicles were extremely limited - if you were lucky enough to catch a tractor pulling coal or firewood to save a section of the road measured with footsteps, how happy we were, but we chased the carriage, our misdeeds were often found by the driver from the mirror, stopped, the fierce god roared, only almost dropped his fist and legs on us, got out of the car, apologized, and ensured that there was no next time. Gray did not slip autumn with a tender face, and the big guys continued to hurry like deflated leather balls. There are also benevolent masters who pity the hardships of our student dolls, pretend not to see them, and take us for a ride.
There are not a few students who are shy like me, walking together on the same road, waist and legs, painful stomach and empty to rush home, often when the stars wear the moon. To fill your stomach, you wash pickles and soak beans under a bean kerosene lamp, and stir-fry the vegetables and beans with bad sea peppers, put them in glass jars, and prepare to take them to school the next day. With a pitiful amount of money given by the parents, I dragged my tired steps to the school, and it was already time for the evening self-study. Exhausted, he fell asleep on his desk and had no energy to attend class.
Although, in Niuzhai middle school, my reading career almost died, but after all, I tried my best, and finally pulled and pulled to persevere, seven delays in Niuzhai to finish the second grade of junior high school, the grades are always hovering around the top ten.
In the third year of junior high school, perhaps the superiors considered that the Niuzhai class did not have enough teachers to send us to graduate from this class, so we would return to the headquarters of Xinglong Middle School again. In the desperate stage of the third year of junior high school, the students who can see a glimmer of light have opened their lives and are racing against the clock to forge ahead. Hunger, but also at any time to be forgotten, hunger to some of my classmates including me the biggest and most obvious reward is a deep stomach disease, so that many years later stomach disease is still repeatedly disturbing the tranquility of life.
The single clothes and pants in the cold winter months tried to resist the winter that seemed to be particularly cold in those years, and although the clothes inside were distributed with thick patches, the pervasive cold was still in the muscles, and the heart was painful. Frostbite puffed up the toes and heels of the feet, cracked and painful, earlobes, ear edges purple and purple, swelling, cracks.
Pink and white, the spring semester is here again, and the rush to the door is coming, but for me, the pain of that semester is something I can't forget for the rest of my life.
In the year of the day, the elderly and sick father walked through 80 cold and summer festivals, but finally he could not smoothly "get up" and put a rest on his life. The pillar of heaven in my heart collapsed, and my soul seemed to float in the vast wilderness, with no place to return.
Classmates from wealthier families have long been full of ambition, and when they filled out the volunteer program, they did not hesitate to choose high school and continue to fulfill their college dreams. What about my dreams? Borrowed and cobbled together that last semester. Perhaps I should really thank God, I was admitted to the middle school normal that most rural junior high school students dreamed of at that time, jumped out of the farm gate, and in the words of the villagers, escaped the poisonous sun bag in the sky and the storm, and washed the mud legs.
However, the Niuzhai class really did not lose the bottom of The Yanjin No. 3 Middle School, in the 1985 middle school examination, there were more than 15 people who were promoted to secondary school and middle division, and it should be known that in that era, these people were the top performers, and the iron rice bowl was stable. My sloppy grades can also enter the school of the secondary professional normal school, and I can serve an iron rice bowl, which is simply a gift from the ancestors.
In the third graduating class, every student seems to be competing with time to fill the campus with the smell of gun smoke, and under the leadership of the class teacher Hu Mingcui, the 100-meter sprint is launched. She is in the chemistry course of the graduating class, and her lectures are clear and thorough, simple and simple, logical and logical. The class style is positive, united and lively, and orderly.
English teacher Chen Yinhui is very eloquent, and there is a thunderous homework in the first five minutes of each lesson: three inches of uncorrupted tongue is like a hanging river to give a lecture on the philosophy of life for our whole class, treat people and things, and full of positive energy infiltrates everyone's heart. English scores are also gradually improving, in that era, the shortage of english teachers in secondary schools, the quality of English teaching in the county and even the city is almost all pulled back (in fact, so far the province's results in English compared with other provinces, but also can not look up), although I only scored 28:5 in the middle school entrance examination, but in the county's english test scores, at least entered within 30%. English learner is Fan Ermei, famous Ying, English score has been strong to occupy the throne of the school's graduating class champion, and later entered the High School into Yun Normal University, and his brother said that he is now teaching at Dianchi Middle School in Chuncheng.
Geometric geometry, forks and corners, teachers are difficult to teach, students are difficult to learn. Under the influence of this mantra, most students are really afraid of the discipline of geometry. In the face of the initial stage of geometry - plane geometry, there are students with very meticulous logical thinking, often getting high scores, such as Tang Zhongjun, a fellow student of Xinhua Village who was admitted to ZhaoYi Middle School, Chen Xing of the Artemisia Ba ren clan, Luo Wenhui of the Wanhe ren clan...
Ge Zuzhong, a table with excellent sports results, did not enter the physical education normal school later, and I have not been able to understand and let go of my feelings so far.
After graduating from junior high school, most of the students went their separate ways. Some students teach, some are engaged in politics, and some are working in agriculture or part-time, whether they are happy or not, their lives will always be passed. Most of the students were not able to enter the system in the end, but everyone always left a bright and beautiful music on their own life trajectory.
Watch movies
In the new wind of reform in the mountains and canyons, the speed of blowing is often slightly slower, and the cultural and recreational life in backward places is still boring. In memory, the school does not seem to organize literary evenings and performances. But recreational activities are always not lagging behind.
The school attaches great importance to the combination of work and leisure, and occasionally on Saturday nights, students go to see movies, as if it is a unified invoice for the school. At that time, the cinema on Xinglong Street was newly built, and in the era of extremely boring cultural and entertainment life, the cinema was a good place to gather popularity, and even the major events to be notified and publicized in the neighborhood were often carried out before the cinema screening.
There are more students on the street, you can be close to the water tower, occupy a good position, and appreciate the plot in the best position. At that time, martial arts were popular throughout the country, and I don't know whether it was driven by movies, or whether the film industry had found the market and specialized in martial arts films. Anyway, people are enough to like to watch the Wuda Kung Fu movie, the streets, alleys, offices, the most discussed topic is also the plot of Wuda Kung Fu.
The most sensational is the first "Shaolin Temple", the late Sui general Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Ren, while supervising the construction of the river fortifications, killed the tyrannical god Leg Zhang, and his son Xiaohuzi jumped into the river to escape from the tiger's mouth. After Xiao Huzi was rescued by Shaolin monks and put into the temple, he resolutely cut his hair to become a monk in order to avenge his father, and his legal name was "Jueyuan". Wang Renze's chief bodyguard coveted the shepherd girl Bai Wufeng after encountering her beauty, forcibly snatched her back to the palace and wanted to be drunk and violent, and happened to be discovered by Jue Yuan, who came alone to take revenge. In the process of saving Bai Flawless and escaping, Jueyuan was stabbed by Wang Renze for his poor martial arts, prompting him to practice more diligently after returning to the Shaolin Temple. Later, because Jueyuan rescued Li Shimin, who was chased by Wang Renze, the Shaolin Temple suffered a disaster, and Jueyuan's responsibility was even heavier. Later, Jueyuan finally took revenge on his father, and in order to defend Shaolin, Jueyuan finally refused Bai Wufeng's love and was officially ordained as a monk. This plot is full of positive energy, sought after by people, justice in the world, and comfortable in people's hearts.
"Wulin Zhi", a non-wu da kung fu film, is also very appealing and evokes patriotic feelings: the story takes place in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Min Dynasty, where the Nine Rivers descend to Tianjin Wei, where Haojie masters from all directions gather. The martial arts master Dongfang Xuda sold his skills, during which he met with He Haiyi, the head of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Gym, and became acquainted with Li Zhongshen, a foot-walking lang who had a unique learning. After the guidance and teaching of the divine palm Li, Dongfang Xu, who was already highly skilled in martial arts, advanced by leaps and bounds, and practiced the Bagua palm to a pure fire. At this moment, the Russian Hercules Dadlov came to Tianjin Wei with great might, and his brute force and undefeated record were on his toes, and there was no one in sight. He Dahai, who had a fiery temper, came out, who knew that he had been plotted by the adulterers. And Dongfang Xu went to war with great enthusiasm, to earn a breath for the Yanhuang masters, and was not willing to be bullied and ridiculed by foreigners. Dongfang Xu and the martial artists thus staged a widely spread martial arts legend.
In the memory, it seems that there are also "Kapok Robes", "Shaolin Temple Disciples", "Shaolin Boys", "Wudang", "Heroes from Ancient Times", "Life and Death Decision", "Golden Dart Huang Tianba", "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs", "Shaolin Boy Gong", "Shaolin Lay Disciples", "Eight Hundred Arhats", "New Fang Shiyu", "Shen Qi", "Southern Fist King", "North and South Shaolin", etc., all of which involve martial arts and martial arts, some of which are seen by the students themselves, and the school organization is after all a minority.
Perhaps due to the great influence of social atmosphere and movies, among the students, more and more people practice martial arts and practice kung fu, and there is no shortage of female students. Male students, it seems that everyone can do a few tricks, and some even hide a deadly kung fu. When running morning exercises, many students often have to practice martial arts alone, why practice kung fu? Strengthen the body, self-defense and protect life. A few of our strong friends "like-minded", have a special love for exercise and kung fu, no home weekends or leisure time, feet at any time tied to more than ten pounds of sandbag leggings, outside the school to run roads, climb mountains, compared to make the brute force of the foreign fist, "hands are two doors, all rely on the legs to beat people", press the legs, pull the ribs, stand piles, regular compulsory courses. Of course, books are also a must-have, and they are also the main point of attack. The cost of revolution is the body, the strong body is for learning, and the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine.
I feel that entering junior high school, male students, especially physically strong male students, like to invite to break their hands, and they are placed in recess. For a long time do not enter the crop field, everyone's palms have the suspicion of fine skin and tender flesh, physics courses everyone has learned well, when breaking the hand, everyone is very concerned about the power arm and the resistance arm, both sides must be fair and open at this key point, absolutely on a starting line to compete, active visible atmosphere, winter can also resist the cold, but also enhance the physique, relax the muscles and bones to relieve tension, why not enjoy it. There were many Hercules in the class, more than the right hand, and I used to swim between the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up in the class; if I had the left hand, I was ashamed and fell behind five. In order to improve quality and efficiency, some students put stone locks in the dormitory, stone locks, which are a folk tool that enhances wrist strength, arm strength, and abdominal and back psoas muscle strength, which has been used in the Tang Dynasty army in ancient times. Playing stone locks pays attention to one throw, two twists, three throws, we often only dare to practice the first two, the third kind of danger factor is high, not easy to try.
Basketball game
At that time, the strength of xinglong to play basketball was not weak, and it was also well-known throughout the county. Almost every week there are ball games, either the township and foreign organ units, the completion of the small team, the school challenge teacher team, or the school class to class friendly game (mainly high school class), of course, after school in the afternoon, but where there is a heavyweight basketball game, often the audience gathers, the mountain shouts tsunami, and the sound waves rush to the ninth sky. Especially in the ball game between the boys in the high school on the school, the cheerleaders and even the players on the field are excited, especially for those students who are good at absorbing powder and have good looks, every move absorbs hundreds of pairs of moving eyes.
At that time, we people with almost zero basketball knowledge could only "watch the hilarity" outside the court, and did not know the roles and responsibilities of the five players on each side. You can only see this charge with the ball, a few arrows on a beautiful three-step basket; the card man is strong, several successful blocks in a row to suppress the opponent's flag; this three-point basket is not swinging from a distance, looking for opportunities to sneak out of the circle, lightly catch the ball, calmly shoot, sudden cheers and praises, the referee's middle three fingers are held high...
Later, I learned that the basketball court should be divided into roles, the point guard, should be the most opportunities to take the ball, the most frequent passing, to help other players find scoring opportunities; the scoring guard, to score as the main task, the outside line accuracy and stability should be very good; small forwards, the most important scorers in the team, the important responsibility is to score, score, and score again; big forwards, do hard work, grab the board, defend, card position, shooting and scoring is not his key task; center, mainly stay in the box to sell labor, sell stature, attack and defense, It's all the pivot buttons of the team.
Tooth Sacrifice
I remember that in the spring of the third year of junior high school, once a good classmate brought a small piece of bacon from home to the school, ready to fight with five or six good classmates to fight tooth sacrifices, there were well-off people in the dormitory who secretly bought a kerosene stove, there was this advanced machine-type stove, and some students could privately cook dishes within their reach to improve and improve the school's miserable life. But there are more people and less meat, so what to do? When the moon was rare, the big guys sneaked into the vegetable field of a nearby farmer, pulled out five or six lettuce shoots, pulled a handful of garlic leaves, and took two cabbages by the way. The bacon has been cooked, let our knife master brothers cut it thinly, stir-fry the oil and water in the pot, add garlic leaves, lettuce stalk thin slices, and add bad sea peppers, the taste, you can go downwind for ten miles. Lettuce leaves boiled broth, especially crispy, wash two cabbage boiled white water, make a simple dipping bowl, rice, has been called from the canteen. That meal, now reminiscing, is still fragrant in the heart.
We always have to find a way to make five or six of the buddies adjust their tastes on the weekend to suppress the crazy growth of our physiques. At night, yellow eels and loach are naturally preferred.
Yellow eels, wild ones, are particularly popular. The yellow eels in the fields were absolutely unpolluted in that era. The dam field opposite the school river is fertile and wide. We saw that it was filled with water after the dragon looked up, and then we saw that its slab field was rakeed, and later we saw that it was flattened by the rake, until we saw that each of its fields was as horizontal as a mirror, and it was expected that it would soon have to plant seedlings. At this time, we know that the little nine nine in the hearts of some students has already played very accurately, "little summer yellow eel race ginseng".
Raw bamboo knots are filled with kerosene, the opening end is plugged with burning paper, so that the kerosene is fully infiltrated, and the vulgar night lighting tools are ready; plastic buckets are filled with a little water, and even each person brings a basin, each person has an oil cylinder, lit up, everyone comes to the edge of the field, ties up the trouser pipe, steps into the fat field through the yellow eel, the yellow eel in this season, follows the nightfall to drill out of the hole to swim in the water, the back is brown with golden dots, the color on the belly is golden. Years later, I saw captive yellow eels, and the color on their bellies was much darker and the luster was gone.
Field loach, this is known as the water ginseng prey, we will not let go, the field is often full of loach eyes, eel holes, we can distinguish at a glance. Catching yellow eels and catching loaches are all fast and accurate. Catch the loach, the strength should be just right, do other things, may be a miracle, the loach and the yellow eel, the body is slippery, the force is large, it will instead use force to escape. The thumb, index finger and middle finger are cleverly matched into a pair of meat pliers, pinching the loach head and neck slightly lower, it can not move, pinch its waist and tail, it can easily escape. The eel hole has two openings, one is the inlet, the other is the exit, of course, it can also be interchanged, catch the yellow eel, lying in the water, the method of catching is similar to that of catching the loach in the field, if it is hidden in the hole, you must block the exit with one hand, and follow the hole from the entrance with the other hand, so that it is difficult to escape. Yellow eel is not stupid, it usually makes the exit very hidden, the hole is also small, so inexperienced people often can only find a hole, even if they are decisive, they will find nothing. The basin should also be placed closer, and before the yellow eel and loach slip off, they will enter the basin.
The rhubarb eel will bite its fingers in a hurry, it will hurt the heart, if you do not force it to be anxious, it will not open its mouth to bite people, even if you want to catch them, you must leave room appropriately, look at the timing, and use the "three-finger tongs" to tighten its neck.
Now, the pleasure of catching yellow eels lies in the enjoyment of catching, and improving the food is the greatest need at that time. One eel can only cook a soup, and three eels can make a bowl of dishes. Everyone spent a full hour, four or five pounds of yellow eel was taken away by us, and then there will be students who are skilled in cutting yellow eels in the knife, although there is not much lard available for fried eels, but the taste is also delicious and fragrant, and hungry students can also feast.
Zhinong digs red amaranth
In October, it is time for the countryside to dig up red amaranth. In the first half of the first half of the first year of the first year, there was a family surnamed Liang behind the school, one Sunday, the sun was lazy, and by referral, I helped dig the amaranth in his house, his family's land was very suitable for the growth of red amaranth, a large area of sloping crops, the plot was hooked with ridge boxes, sweet potato vines were green. His family's red amaranth belongs to the majority of white heart sweet potatoes, and it is also a large category of colored sweet potatoes. Nutritional value, the book says grandly - contains a variety of nutrients. Freshly dug out sweet potatoes, washed, crisp red, bite on, inner urn white raw, crisp, slightly sweet. If you dig up the Beijing amaranth, it will be even sweeter.
First, use a sand sickle (sickle) to cut off the amaranth vine into a handle, put it in the soft sun, and when it is sunburned, it will be carried home with a back, slaughtered and stored in the earthen cellar of the earthen kiln, which is a good feed for the farmer's pigs to spend the winter. Almost throw up the digging hoe, dig a box of excavation, break the soil and turn over the ridge, lift a bunch of sweet potatoes, put aside to dry the water vapor, try not to dig up the amaranth, dig up the groove of the amaranth can not go to the amaranth cellar, not only the damaged will rot, but also form a nest rot, contiguous strong it. The staple food for lunch and dinner is rice mixed with red amaranth, vegetables, and the garden is planted with greens, cabbage, spinach, and lotus white, which is convenient. At the end of the day, about three or four hundred pounds of look, all back home, and according to the good and secondary three grades of good and secondary classification, the big and undamaged left as amaranth seeds, back upstairs to spread on the floor bamboo fire floor, close to winter to go up to the amaranth cellar, no amaranth cellar also have to be sealed with bean grass ash or grain ash, beware of cold and frozen amaranth, the next year's mother and child amaranth are gone, you need to buy, the next year Yang Spring and March will be planted mother and child, planting land needs to be full of fertility, enough nutrition to let them root, sprout, run vines After the rain in April and May, it is a good time to plant, "mango seeds are not planted, planting is useless" (of course, for planting grain), do not miss the season. If you have enough time, you have to turn the sweet potato vines once or twice and weed them. I remember when I was a child, sweet potatoes went to the cellar, and as soon as the sweet potatoes sweated, they began to become sweet, raw and boiled, and they were delicious. However, according to the season, it is generally necessary to wait until after the frost. I dare say there is nothing more delicious than the sweet potatoes of this time, especially when they are roasted or burned in the ashes of grass and trees. We almost developed a habit at that time, when cooking rice, we always did not forget to bury a few sweaty sweet potatoes in the ashes of the fire, soft, sweet, adults and children like to eat.
Now, the people in the city regarded the red amaranth as a rarity, but at that time, it was the pain of a generation. The staple food is not enough to make up, and the children who grow up in the countryside have absolute mixed feelings for sweet potatoes, and children sometimes hate it to the point of gritting their teeth. At that time, three sweet potatoes a day, sweet potato porridge in the morning, steamed sweet potatoes at noon, and sweet potato pulp in the afternoon. But people want to live, and no matter how tired they are, they still have to eat. Spring famine is the most difficult time in the countryside, green and yellow, the only thing that can be put on the stomach is the dried sweet potato chips, according to the words of the big mouth, eating sad and lung-lunging.
Red amaranth is originally edible raw, children and even adults hungry, will take advantage of people are not prepared in the roadside field secretly buckled has not yet grown red amaranth, then will certainly be scolded, by people white eyes, raw melons and pear dates, these things, are to be ripe to eat, otherwise, it is a waste of grain. No way, the people take food as heaven,
I haven't done this job, it's the most lively thing in the village where I can produce noodles...
Amaranth Fujiko also went back, finished dinner, returned to school, and went to class.
During the internship days at Daejeon Elementary School
Thirty-two years ago, in May, it was our internship season. Leaving the land of prosperity that I set foot on again after three years, my state of mind is very different, without the discouragement and depression of a few years ago, and some are full of joy and hope for the future and destiny. More than 20 students came to Xinglong Primary School for internship. After the end of the primary school is definitely not enough to absorb, we two men, three women and five classmates went to Daejeon Elementary School. There is a canteen and accommodation, which is already very convenient.
Since the name is "Datian", there are still many paddy fields in the territory of the country. Every year before planting seedlings, at a glance, the Daejeon Valley, full of rivers and water, midsummer, a faction of greenery, green cross-currents, blue waves spreading, autumn arrived, Daejeon mountains and rivers golden spikes fluttering incense, auspicious Rui a harvest of splendid embroidery.
There is a forest of trees behind the elementary school, which is still evergreen, and it is the paradise of the white crane. The cluster of quaint trees is lush and lush, evergreen all year round. Ascending to the far horizon, it is clearly a beautiful and lovely green umbrella. Walking in the forest, warm, quaint, deep and quiet. In the spring of the sun and the flowers of the mountains, in this thicket of leafy and leafy nan forest, there are hundreds of white cranes like women standing in the sky, this spirit of nature is white and flawless, and the whole child is small, exquisite, bright, alert and cute.
On a sunny morning, you can enjoy the beauty of the cranes "dancing to clear the shadows", as well as the wonderful scenery of the "three turns around the trees" and the joy of the group. On the treetops of these trees, it is simply their dashing and elegant dance floor. Flocks of cranes dance like trees spewing silver flowers, and when they stand still, they resemble strings of magnolia lampposts, adding a magnificent and unique scenery to this land.
Daejeon Elementary School, the school system is from the first grade to the fifth grade, a total of five classes, the principal is the village's teacher Deng Lihai, young and powerful. We were a group of five intern teacher training students, each divided into a class, by the class teacher (at that time, almost all subjects were done by one person), to guide us in all aspects of teaching and educating people in all aspects of the technical skills, let us as soon as possible familiar with the future into the workplace, how to take students, how to teach, how to correct homework, how to lead students with their own words and deeds.
I was placed in the first grade led by Wang Huarong, who was our sister of the teacher, the tenth class, who debuted two years before us and had mastered a lot of practical teaching ability in primary schools.
This is the spring semester, the first grade students into the school to enlighten a lot of knowledge and behavior habits, as soon as I arrived at the class, I felt that this has been guided by Teacher Wang very perfectly, it is worth learning to master too many things.
As far as the hardware facilities of the village-level primary school are concerned, Daejeon Elementary School has been very good in that era, and the main building of Daejeon Primary School is two buildings, the main building is a teaching building, and the right side of it is an auxiliary building, which is a teacher's dormitory, canteen, office and other places. The teaching building is a two-storey building with three large rooms, earth and stone structure, and wooden floor slabs. The classroom can accommodate 40 or 50 students, with windows on the left and right sides, a blackboard on the front and back walls, and a board in the back. The front piece is used for teaching, which is the main position for the teacher to guide the students to appreciate the infinite scenery of the ocean of knowledge.
In the late 1980s, there were absolutely a few kindergartens in townships and towns, and even fewer at the village level. Children's hair (the so-called "enlightenment" is also) reading directly to the first grade, which can be described as completely zero foundation.
The teachers of the primary school are each serving food. The school provides a canteen for the five of us, five of our classmates partner to open a meal, the new potato has been listed, you can buy around the school, the five people after class partner or take turns to cook, it is a pleasure. On weekends, teachers whose families are in the nearby countryside need our help when the farmers are busy, and they are happy to go, all of them are from the countryside, and they can do all kinds of farm work very skillfully.
More than a month of internship life, short and fulfilling, I have been climbing and wading in the sea of school books for eleven years, after years of accumulation, a part of the shallow knowledge has finally been connected to the ground at the grass-roots level, and many practical experiences that cannot be learned in books have been accumulated and precipitated. In order to quickly integrate into society later, take over reality, interpret the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty of life, and appreciate the thousand tastes of reality, I made an indispensable warm-up.
