There is also a pair of clogs in the house, but this antique is the favorite of our boss. This broken thing, walking up and down, rattled and died. I wanted to throw it away when the boss was not at home, but I didn't know if I would be beaten by him. After all, this clogs are also his feelings.
I remember when I was very young, Grandpa liked to wear clogs. He always made his own clogs as slippers, and the rest of the scraps would make a pair of small clogs for each of us. The discarded bicycle tires, two small nails, and a piece of wood soon became a pair of clogs under Grandpa's hands. Among them, the wood of the fire refining tree is the lightest and is most suitable for making clogs. I remember that at that time, everyone in the family had a pair of clogs, which was suitable for bathing and wearing, and also suitable for rainy days. It can also be used as a small stool when chatting, and when Mei's core can no longer find something to smash after eating, the adult's clogs are the best weapon.
When I was a child, there were fiery trees everywhere, and now it is difficult to find such trees. Grandpa is a skilled craftsman, the vegetable baskets, bamboo stools, dustpans, etc. used in the family are all woven by Grandpa with bamboo; large and small benches, flat weights, ladders, clogs, etc. are also made by Grandpa using his own wood. In my impression, Grandpa was a god man, and he could conjure up a pair of beautiful clogs from a piece of waste wood.
It's just that I don't like to wear clogs, and in the end he won't make it for me. On the contrary, the brothers like this thing very much, it is easy to wear and take off, and it is durable. It's just that the sound of this clogs walking makes me really unable to like it. But in the era of no high heels, it was a joy I couldn't let go. I will also secretly take my father's clogs to wear, wow, I feel like I have grown a lot taller in an instant.
Now there are some small stalls in the town where you can still see the shadow of the clogs, but they are already covered with dust and no one cares. I think there are even fewer people who can make clogs, and now that all kinds of shoes can't be seen, who can pay attention to such simple and ugly clogs? Usually only elderly people will go out of their way to find it and wear it, just like my boss. He said he was prone to foot odor in other shoes, but not in this one. Is that why he has a crush on clogs?
Deliberately went to a certain treasure and a certain search, there are actually similar shoes, and more are improved. But I still think that the traditional clogs that are thicker than bricks are better. Most of the kind of clogs on the Internet are produced by machines, and only that kind of old man will use his heart to do clogs.
Sometimes when visiting the market, I occasionally find that the old man who sets up a stall of wooden sandals looks a little sad, and I don't know whether it is because no one buys it, or because this kind of shoes are disliked and no one cares. Handmade clogs are very comfortable to wear, especially in the summer will not be hot, but the current young people do not like this kind of antique shoes.
There are also the kind of old people who sell bamboo utensils, basically all of them are full of wrinkles. Don't say that our generation, like our father's generation, rarely knows this kind of bamboo weaving. But in our grandfather's generation, it was a breeze for them. When their group of old people gradually left, those crafts were estimated to be lost. In a society of convenience, no one has the patience to do one more thing. Instead, large machines were mass-produced, and traditional craftsmanship gradually lost its original status.
There is a kind of thing that is always hidden in our memories, and the simpler it is, the more precious it feels. Just like that pair of clogs, it is the boss's baby. This is not just a pair of shoes, it carries the memories and time from childhood to adulthood.
Some likes, others can not be deprived. Some memories, years are indelible. Just like this pair of clogs!
