Young people live in joy and ideals. Middle-aged people live in struggle and harvest. Older people live in reality and memories. This year's New Year, I spent the New Year at my son's house, there was no happiness and New Year's taste at all, almost as usual, the children took a few days off. I was born in the late 1950s, born in the countryside, when I was a child, my family was very poor, we had six sisters, and there were a total of eight people in the family. At that time, no one laughed at the poor people, everyone was the same poor, and even the poorer the more glorious, there was such a saying called "poor think of change, to do, to revolution." Whoever wants to have a variety of yellow smoke, raise more than one sow, this is all capitalism, to cut the tail of capitalism, so when I was a child, there were very few pigs killed in the New Year, and the pigs were also very small, one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds is a big pig, but also to sell the triangle, the memory of a year if the family kills pigs, at most eat three good meat, eat a meal of meat on the day of killing pigs, eat a meal of meat on the evening of the 30th of the year, and eat a meal of pig head meat on February 2. If the year is not good, if the new year does not kill pigs, the New Year will not eat pork, can only eat a chicken or a big goose, it is very good. Every year until May and June, there is no grain at home, almost every day corn batter, vegetables are very few cabbage, radish, potatoes. If the pickles and sauces at home are eaten all year round, it is a good life. In the early 80s of reform and opening up, divided into fields to households, when I was in my 20s just married, although I can eat enough, but not a penny, I even bought farm tools and fertilizer money to high interest loans, then called "raising money", basically three points of profit, two people after more than 20 years of struggle, the family finally has agricultural tools and pocket money, then the child to go to college and need a sum of money, can only send the family's money to the child every month, and even have to "raise money" outside to the child to go to college, after a few years, the child after graduating from college married and had children At this time, I finally didn't worry too much about money, and I also bought some rural utensils, but my son let us go to see my grandson, otherwise they couldn't go to work, what to do? For the sake of my son, I can only listen to my children, go to the city to live with my son, and when I see my grandson as older, I am more than 70 years old. Living with my son and daughter-in-law is very inconvenient, very uncomfortable, even to find a place to fart. Alas, when I see my grandson, I am more than 70 years old, and our old couple will not be able to go back to the countryside and can only go to a nursing home. Looking back on my life's experiences and changes, there is not much happiness in terms of it. My story is probably the experience of all our generations in the late '50s, early '60s. Now is a few money in the pocket, can not eat into what, waiting for us is the disease and children's "filial piety", now a year older, I wish netizens good health, happy every day, good fortune, which netizens and my experience is not the same hope to share with me in the comment area.
