#Witness of the Times #An old photo from 30 years ago

This photo was taken in 1992, when my mother was 27 years old.

That year, the National People's Congress passed the resolution to build the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Yugoslavia disintegrated, the first bowl of Master Kang's braised beef noodles went on the market, Zhou Xingchi's "Happy Family" made people laugh off their teeth, Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" is still the leader of science fiction films, Dawn sang "I am from Beijing" affectionately, the streets and alleys repeatedly played "Dashing Walk Again", I have a yellow hula hoop, but I still can't shake.

My mother's daily job is to sell groceries in a simple stall in a busy area.

She sells a lot of stuff, and I especially like the gadgets she sells.

Wearing series: beaded hairpins, combs, head strings, pearl necklaces (fake), crystal bracelets (also fake) worn on the head. Toy series: bullet gun, car, bear doll, quicksand mirror. Only those she can't sell can play with me.

Entertainment series: old books, old magazines, the old books she sells have become my extracurricular books, every time she comes back from a pile of old books, I have to check it first, I read it and then sell it to her, but unfortunately she doesn't sell books often. There is also a word newspaper, which is a product of the times, in the era of underdeveloped information receiving, everyone can be described as a variety of sources of information, my mother will use a lot of white paper every night to write some fascinating information headlines, placed on the side of the road, people are interested, they will spend a dollar to buy a homemade newspaper. Now this scenario can no longer occur.

She also sold cigarettes, fruit, etc., but I wasn't interested because I was always forced to eat fruit she couldn't sell, but my dad was happy because he smoked.

One of the characteristics of her stall is that it is easy to put away, which my father made for her, and as soon as the city manager comes, she can put it away in a second. Of course, there were also times when I was arrested, and in my memory, more than once my father took me to the chengguan brigade to retrieve my mother's goods.

The necklace she wears in this photo is the "pearl necklace" that she herself did not sell, which we jokingly call the fake bead necklace.

At that time, the days were hard and happy, and every time I remembered it, it was like ice cream in the summer and rib soup in the winter, which was ironed and unforgettable.
