When I was very young, I vaguely remembered that my parents were free to love, and there should not be many people in their eighties who were now in their eighties in free love and marriage and family in that era! Yesterday, I had dinner and drink with my parents and uncle and talked about the topic of "reminiscing about the past".
My father and mother lived in two tuns separated by a small mountain beam, and later I went to see that my grandmother and grandfather often walked that path, maybe it was the basis for me to walk outdoors now! When I ate the big canteen, my parents were still less than twenty or so! Now many people do not know the concept of this "big canteen", that is, the family does not cook, uniformly arrange the canteen in the tun to do, and then each family has the time to go to the canteen to eat and eat, but it is only corn porridge, not even a stew, go home to get some pickles or other coarse vegetables with corn porridge is a meal. My mother would be responsible for cooking and cooking in the canteen, because of the relationship between my parents, my uncle could successfully beat the meal every time, and often gave more. They will smile when they talk about this experience, and I will be a little moved.
What a poor time! My grandfather is still the captain, the family is often unable to open the pot, grandma six daughters, grandparents five sons, are everyone can eat, at that time, people's goal is to survive, and what life to speak of? I can remember when I was a captain, every day with everyone to get up early and night to do the farm work that can never be finished, the era of the work system, an adult male "laborer" can earn a job a day, seven or eight points for women, our children sometimes help to do some work can also help parents earn three or four points, (one work is equal to ten points), each production team according to the income situation, the equivalent value of each worker is not the same, can reach one yuan / one worker very few, my family's production team average to reach the octagon / a job is a very good result, for this reason Dad was once rated as the advanced captain of Dalian and went to Dalian for a meeting to receive the award. In fact, at the end of the year, after deducting the family expenses advanced in the team for one year, the money that can get the family is also minimal, and even some families have to hang (owe) the production team for a special reason.
At that time, there was a scene that I still remember vividly, and it felt quite interesting to think about. The central authorities have ordered the whole country to "agricultural villages", and the construction of terraced fields in various places is in full swing. We also actively participated when we came home from school, and the electric lights pulled up on the mountain at night were bright, pushing carts, carrying burdens... The radio loudspeaker plays scrappy revolutionary songs, and occasionally there are documentary advanced and typical radio drafts read aloud on the spot, and the more you listen, the more motivated you are, and there is no era that can be as united as the whole people were at that time!
The elders are getting older, we have white sideburns, the younger generations do not know this bitter history at all, sometimes think of it and write it down in bits and pieces, but also to leave a memory!
By the way, is the furniture in the picture very contemporary?
