Light a cigarette at the electric light

Go to the light bulb to smoke against the fire, what broken lights, so bright how can not even a cigarette to fire

The first call was in the early 1970s, when electricity was first connected to the workshops of the production teams. The mood of excited people cannot be expressed in words, and the crowd is much more concentrated than when the meeting is concentrated.

The production team originally lit a glass lamp in the house, which could only be illuminated on a table for two or three clerks to sit there, and to record the work of each member who went to work in the field that day. When it came time to listen to the meeting, the table was full of people watching the lights for three weeks, and that week was the week when the table was next to the wall. The rest of the people had to sit in a dark place, where someone would fall asleep and wouldn't listen as long as you didn't snore to make sure no one noticed.

The notebook is a book the size of the current A5 paper, which has names, years, months, days and details, and the details column mainly writes what you do in the morning, what you do in the morning, and what farm work you do in the afternoon. The whole day is divided into ten divisions, two minutes in the morning, four minutes in the morning, and four points in the afternoon. Change a notebook after the january is full, and at the end of the year, look at these twelve notebooks to set your rations and dividends.

Men and women, young and old in notebooks. Every six months, a strong laborer is a worker a day, and the women's strong labor force is seven percent, and who can earn how many work points can be evaluated in turn. Men and women have long advocated equal pay for equal work and more work, but in fact, it was not at that time. For example, in the field, the man's hoe is hoeed and the woman's hoe is still a line, and at night, both men and women are recorded as a worker. However, a man's day is ten, and a woman's nature is still seven points.

Every day you go to the field to work and come back to the workshop to keep track of work, this is a compulsory course for everyone, that day you forget to go, you can also go the next day to make up. Not going to the record for three days and five days is questioned by the record keeper, and you have to find witnesses to testify for you.

I remember that the day of the call had just begun to work, the kerosene lamp in the glass cover had just been lit, and the light bulb that had been hanging on the head for several days suddenly lit up. The face that was originally in the dark to speak to became clear in front of his eyes. The whole house was shouting and shouting, and the excitement of happiness had not yet passed, and the lights were suddenly extinguished and the room was back in darkness, fortunately, the lights in the glass cover had not yet been blown out.

After a short pause, the lights came on again. Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to nibble and was so quiet that it was as if the lights would go out when they spoke with one mouth. After a while, everyone saw that the lights were no longer off, and then they returned to being more lively than before. It was so lively that almost all three grass huts were overturned, and no matter how long the men and women refused to disperse.

At this time, I saw an old man holding a cigarette bag and pot, going to the light bulb to smoke against the fire. He is left to right, and someone asks him to stay still for a long time. He sucked desperately against the light bulb and did not dare to move, and still did not light a cigarette for a while.

He "choked" a mouthful of smoke oil into his mouth and scolded: "What is this broken lamp, so bright how can not even a cigarette fire!" ”

Everyone also wondered how it could not smoke? Everyone is talking about it. At that time, there were also people who had worked in the city or visited relatives in the city, and naturally knew why lighting a light bulb could not light a cigarette. They were talking indistinctly, and someone was asking strangely.

On this day, the young people and the children refused to leave, and they churned in the workshop until the light bulb slowly and leisurely, and the filament in the light bulb was so red that it was like a thread and never lit up again, and everyone reluctantly left.
