My family history (9) is faced with difficulties
In the face of food shortages, the life of county leaders is equally tight. The county party secretary was six years younger than my grandfather, and his seniority was far inferior to that of his grandfather, so he had great respect for his grandfather, and the two had a very good relationship. His hometown is from the rural area of Feicheng, and his wife and children have not been in the city for a few years. When there was a famine, the secretary's hometown had many brothers and often came. When he came to manage food and drink, when he left, the secretary also had to give some money and take some food. For this old two mouths no less mixed mouth. Once, my wife couldn't help it, and said, you took all the food, let's eat it? Do kids eat it? The secretary could not get off the stage on his face, and he fought with his wife in front of his relatives. As soon as his wife cried, people outside came to persuade him. My wife cried and said, I am so old, he slapped me in the face. The secretary argued, where I slap your face, stomp your stomach. It later became a joke. This also shows from one side that in that era, cadres and peasants were equally poor.
There were two deputy county magistrates living in neighbors, and the family of Wang County's governor always watched the noodles in their own noodle jars fall quickly, and they suspected that someone was taking their own noodles. When she went out of work, she made a mark, came back and found that there were traces of face on the ground, and when she went down to look for it, she thought that it was done by the neighboring county elderly companion, and she pointed to Sang And said that mulberry was scolding. After the neighbor county magistrate learned of the situation, he felt great humiliation, indiscriminately beat his little-footed wife. It was later revealed that it was the children outside the courtyard who did it. But the county magistrate's wife has been in good spirits ever since, often talking to himself alone, not knowing what to say. He didn't wake up until he was ninety years old. This old lady was the mother of my brother who had been a student of mine. Whenever the old lady was talked about, the student brother would burst into tears and choke up.
My father once talked about his life at Shandong University of Finance and Economics at that time, when students had more than 20 pounds of rations per month and could not eat enough. I said, now I can't eat twenty pounds of steamed buns every month? He said that now there are all kinds of meat, eggs and milk, accounting for 80% of the food, of course, can not eat 20 pounds of steamed bread. At that time, more than twenty rations, including corn sorghum millet sweet potatoes, wheat counted fine grains, really ate far less than twenty catties in the stomach; besides, in addition, except for twenty catties of grain, there were basically no vegetables, which, like the current wine mountain meat sea, did not need to eat staple food at all. The father also told a real joke: Uncle Li Quanfen (a relative) who was a buyer passed through Jinan to see him and brought him two packs of peach crisps. This was a premium food at the time. He was afraid to say that he was special during the day, and he did not dare to eat, and at night he slept on the bunk, and when he was hungry, he quietly ate two tablets, and did not dare to ask others to hear the noise, and he ate for ten days.
In our courtyard, in the west room, there lived the director of the county party committee' house. At night, the children in the courtyard played together, and some good children said that they drank noodles at home! So everyone rushed up to the door of his house and looked through the crack in the door, and it was true. Since then, I have remembered that "the legend of starving relatives (earthworms), starving cooks", "big heads and thick necks, either the chief secretary or the husband", is a truth.
