Life in the countryside is comfortable and relaxed, although in the 70s there was a relatively boring life in the countryside and there was no entertainment, but the people at that time had a good heart.
However, it is precisely because of the lack of some modern products that most families have a very full life, basically from morning to night, although the days are repeated, but they feel comfortable and happy.
In the summer, after dinner, three or five friends sit together, blowing the cool breeze, listening to the croaking of frogs and insects, the women sit together to mend clothes, collect the soles of shoes, and often gossip, and the children look forward to the movie every day.
The night in the countryside is like an ink painting, and now we who are born in the city will often miss the dream-like leisurely years?
Reading at night was the norm for rural children at that time, because of the scarcity of resources and the lack of materials, not every village had a school at that time, and some children had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to reach their schools.
When I was a child, I often heard my grandfather say that because I had no money to study, I could only set off at four or five o'clock in the evening, bring a small book, and go to eight or nine o'clock to get to school.
But at that time, it was not their own playfulness that restricted the children's learning, but the poverty of the family and the inability to pay the tuition, so every child who was able to study at that time was riveted to study, because this was probably the biggest expense in the family, and if they didn't work hard, they would be sorry for their parents.
It is precisely because of the barrenness of rural life that most children think that reading good books can lead to a good life in the mountains, and reading is the only way out, which was definitely not the empty words of parents at that time.
Do you remember the open-air movies when you were a child, when you would quickly move a small stool after eating, bring a tea jar and quickly go to occupy a place.
At that time, after a busy day's farm work, everyone would take this opportunity to relax, and sometimes if it was a screening in a neighboring village, many children would meet to see it together, and when they came back, it was almost midnight.
At that time, when the weather was particularly hot, I would spread the mat at home under the shade of the trees in the square, watch a movie while shaking the fan to enjoy the cool, and listen to the insects to fall asleep, which was the best lullaby
At that time, there were no electric mosquito coils and electric mosquito swatters, all of which were made by my mother, poured into the palm of my hand, smeared on the limbs, and the faint aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of yellow horn orchid, which was the most natural mosquito repellent, but now it is very rare to see homemade yellow horn wine.
In the 70s, the nights were not all idle, because at that time, there were many people who had to go out to work at night, in order to change their living habits in order to live, just to be able to earn more money to supplement the family, so that the children in the family could afford to go to school, and not to do the same work as themselves in the future, which was the common idea of parents at that time.
In the photo, it is the scene of sheep raising professionals, bringing sheep that need to be slaughtered to the slaughterhouse, because there are many people during the day, and the sheep are easy to run around, so they can only choose the night, when everyone is asleep, they will put on their clothes and pick up long whips and sticks to appear in the market, spring, summer, autumn and winter, no exception.
At that time, everyone in the countryside loved each other, which truly reflected the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
Because the daily labor time is very long, so basically will be in the dark in the field of crops can not be seen before returning home to prepare food, sometimes if too busy, too late to prepare meals, will bring a big pot of rice, go to someone else's house, you give him rice, he will return your dishes, not to mention more harmony and happiness.
And sometimes if the adults in the family are too busy in the fields, or encounter an emergency, the surrounding neighbors will also take care of the children for them, a ceramic bowl, and eat hundreds of meals.
In addition, at that time, children will also share with each other, holding a bowl with vegetables and several children sitting around to eat, you eat a bite of the potatoes in my bowl, I eat a bite of the cabbage in his bowl, it is the most sincere sharing between children at that time.
Some children who are not yet in elementary school have long evenings and can't watch movies every day, so they also find a different kind of fun activity in the rest of their leisure time.
At that time, girls loved to play with skipping rope, and the first rope was a relatively simple rubber band, which was usually found in every family, and mothers would use it to put the children's trouser waistbands, and the excess would be tied together by the children to become an elastic rubber band.
Do you still remember the popular skipping rope at that time? Ma Lan blossomed twenty-one, two-five-six, two-five-seven.
At that time, there will be a variety of rope skipping movements, and you can also score points, and some little girls have to jump over in order to be able to win, and once you get to this time, you will harvest the exclamations of a group of children, both to play and to satisfy your little vanity.
Although the night was long, there was still a lot of work to be done in the mother's world, just like cooking when you came home after farming, washing pots and dishes after eating, and sometimes washing children's dirty clothes and shoes.
And the real leisure time for them may be a few female friends meeting at home, sitting on the hot kang to discuss the life of the children and some needlework.
At that time, because of the shortage of materials and the general low standard of living, all the clothes and shoes at home were made by the mothers at home, who would cut the purchased cloth and sew it into new clothes.
The shoes of the husband and the children are made by them with a stitch and a thread, and some mothers spoil their children, and they will embroider some flowers or simple patterns on the shoes, and these will become the capital for the children to show off, everyone likes to be able to wear the shoes sewn by the mother, because the mother's love is all hidden in that stitch and thread.
In the late 70s, black and white TV began to appear in the public's field of vision, everyone is very curious about such a novelty, especially in the countryside, if anyone can have such a black and white TV, then his home must be more lively than when he got married, and at that time it was definitely not a loss to buy a black and white TV.
Because there may only be one or two families in the village who can afford it, in order to be able to watch TV, everyone will bring firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. every time, so that the family can also save a lot of money.
At that time, because electricity was not particularly developed in the countryside, there were often power outages and power outages, so kerosene lamps and flashlights were still common at home at that time.
Especially in winter, when it is cold, and when everyone is reluctant to go out at night, they will sit in front of a kerosene lamp, a needle, an iron pair of scissors, and a piece of shoe sole cloth, and just like that, sitting for several hours.
When the children are asleep, the mother will walk up to them lightly to check whether they have covered the quilt, and finally blow out the kerosene lamp, so the grandmother will often say that at that time, the mother is the last to sleep in the family but the earliest to get up, because the life of the family is under her care can be happy.
In the 70s, almost all the furniture and daily necessities were made by people, and the source of these raw materials was wood, bamboo, and the like that can often be touched in daily life.
At that time, there were no strollers, and the children who couldn't walk were placed in a wooden fence made by themselves, with a pulley underneath, so that mothers could easily push their children to the shade of the trees in the village during the summer cool, and take the children out for a walk to eat, which also became the daily life of rural mothers in the 70s.
Several mothers sat together and talked about the concept of parenting, so even if they brought several children at that time, they would not be in a hurry, because everyone would help watch, and when the child cried, the mothers would stand up and walk around with the child.
At that time, it was not uncommon for neighbors' mothers to have a very good relationship with their children, because the people at that time were very sincere and treated their children with sincerity, even if they were young.
In the 70s, there was no air conditioning, and there were only hot kang and bonfires in the countryside, while in some southern areas, there were no kangs, so they would not go to bed too early in winter, but would sit around the campfire with a family, and occasionally throw a small sweet potato in the bonfire.
Families with grandparents would listen to their grandmothers talk about their lives, and children at that time would be very curious when they heard what had happened, just as we are now curious about how our parents spent their lives in the days when there were no electronic communication and entertainment facilities.
In addition to watching movies, there is also an entertainment project in the countryside that does not have a fixed time, that is, listening to and talking about storytelling, at that time, storytellers traveled all over the world with one mouth, and after a long time, they also practiced a profession to make a living.
Because the storyteller often travels outside and will see many interesting things, if you meet a storyteller in the countryside, every household will give some supplies, such as rice, steamed buns, etc., and ask the storyteller to tell the world outside the mountains with affection.
With the development of modern science and technology, many young people who once lived in the countryside have chosen to go out to work, and all of them have chosen to buy houses in the city for the sake of their children's studies.
There are also some old people who will choose to return to the countryside, renovate their homes, and plant something casually on a piece of land, not because the city is not good, but because they still have a love for the land in their bones, and they like the smoke in the countryside.
