At the end of the 1970s, Zhou Zhigang wanted to go to Guizhou to visit his daughter who had gone to the countryside, and the apprentice asked him what he was bringing? He replied: 20 pounds of noodles, 5 pieces of meat, 3 pairs of shoes, and 6 bars of soap. As a post-70s generation, I was instantly touched by this sentence.
People who have not experienced suffering do not know the value of these items! In that era of lack of materials, ordinary people had to gather the above 4 things, to be honest, it was really not easy!
Let's first take a look at how Zhou Zhigang, an ordinary worker in the TV series, got these things:
1, 20 pounds of flour, is to find the superior leadership special approval (at that time, each person monthly grain ration, flour is a fine grain, in general, the general situation is really unable to buy), Zhou Zhigang's salary is reluctant to spend, to the factory canteen to buy.
Why did he bring 20 pounds of white noodles to his daughter, because Zhou Zhigang heard that guizhou did not produce white noodles. My daughter has a bad stomach since she was a child, and eating some white-noodle steamed buns is better than eating rice.
2, 5 pieces of meat, to be made into bacon, or not too far away to take the past stinky. To buy meat, you need to buy it with a meat ticket, and each family can only eat delicious meat during the New Year's Festival. Think about it, how long do you have to hold these 5 pieces of meat?
At that time, the price of meat was still very expensive relative to individual wages. Even if there are meat tickets, some people are reluctant to buy them.
3, 3 pairs of rubber shoes, many state-owned factories are issued to employees when labor protection supplies. Some factories issue a pair a year, and a pair of people with better welfare or special types of work may be issued in half a year.
Zhou Zhigang's 3 pairs of new rubber shoes have been held for 3 years! He usually "lives a life" and weaves his own straw shoes to wear, so he saves 3 new pairs of shoes and prepares to bring them to his daughter as a gift.
4, 6 bars of soap, Zhou Zhigang's unit only gives individuals a piece of soap every 3 months (1 bar of soap is 2 pieces), but he saved 6 bars of soap in 3 years.
What concept? In other words, the soap given to him by the unit, he did not want to use it at all!
Some people will ask, what does Zhou Zhigang usually wash his hands, bathe, and wash his hands? Is it to borrow someone else's, so as to save your own? This kind of thing, Zhou Zhigang couldn't do it!
To this end, every time he cleaned the unit bathhouse, he collected the small tails of soap the size of fingernails discarded by the young people, and when there were more, he grabbed the small tails into soap balls for his own use.
Zhou Zhigang's actions made people cry, and from a deeper depth, I felt the warmth of home and family affection.
In the TV series "The World", there are many such plots.
Zheng Juan has children out of wedlock and a blind brother to support. In order to supplement the family, she makes rock sugar gourds in the winter.
At this time, a very strange scene appeared: Zheng Juan was bare-legged, wearing no cotton pants, and was working.
It turned out that it was almost the New Year, and her mother asked her to wash her cotton pants and wear them cleaner on the New Year's day. Hidden behind the scenes, because the family is poor, Zheng Juan only has a pair of cotton pants. Therefore, after washing, there is no replacement cotton pants to wear.
In that era, there were many brothers and sisters in the family of the parents' generation, and many children wore their brothers and sisters to wear the rest of the clothes, and they could wear them for more than 10 years. Now that I think about it, it's incredible!
I am a post-70s, and many of the storylines of "The World" have also happened to my parents. In that era of poverty, they developed the good habit of frugality from an early age.
Even though they are now rich, they still maintain their simple nature. So, when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but be deeply moved.
Just like Li Zongsheng's "Mortal Song" sang, "You and I are mortal, born in the world, running and suffering all day..." The road of life will always be smooth, and ups and downs are inevitable.
The background span of the TV series "In the World" spans from the early 70s to the present, revolving around the 5 members of the old Zhou family in the northeast "light character film" area, telling 50 years of ups and downs in life.
The characters cover different strata of society, including officials, teachers, workers, and businessmen... Everyone's story is imprinted by the times.
Although it is not easy to live, everyone is positive, full of family, friendship, love, and people watching out for each other is the most touching tone of "The World".
Travel through the years of cold and warm, and feel the thickness of life. I have cried, laughed, loved, and hated, so that I do not regret coming to the world.
