The mother gave birth to a child, the father and grandfather did not mention how busy they were, they had to go to the production team to do farm work during the day, and they had to come back to burn some eggs and loose seeds to make up for their mothers during the morning break.
At noon, the father and grandfather stopped a stove to burn the fire, one prepared on the stove, the grandfather put the wooden bellows hula hula, the dish is the vegetable in front of his house, if there is no dish, go to a large vat to catch a few water flooded vegetables to cut it, put two eggs as vegetables at noon. After eating a good meal, the adults have to go to work, and the eldest in the family takes the second, and the second pulls the third. Due to the limitations of the economic conditions at that time, the mother often took a plate of scattered sons to the brothers to share the hey, as long as they saw the scattered children, everyone gathered around the boss, dancing happily, and sometimes screaming.
In order to increase nutrition for mothers, it is also a more fashionable practice for our local rural women to sit confinement, get dozens of pounds of oil and loose seeds, make a vat of sweet rice wine, and the better ones in the family often kill their own hens, feed for a few hours, and give women who give birth to children to supplement their bodies, enhance nutrition, and restore physical strength.
Our family occasionally kills a chicken, all sent by relatives, so that the father will also personally steam the chicken to improve the diet, we children hear about the killing of chickens, always have to share with the children of the same age, the mother from time to time called this called which to go to her to taste a fresh.
But each family has their own way, our father is a fish to touch the shrimp Gao Ping, often carry a small flower cage plus a lock woven with bamboo shells to use the morning noon and rest time to touch some small fish and shrimp snails yellow eel and so on to improve the family's food, by the way to add a little nutrition to a few children, in the autumn and the yellow plum season often put up a large net, go to a dry river with a net to engage in crabs, sometimes with a sweeping stupid basket, put a little grass and wood ash in it to fish for shrew fish, At that time, there was such a fish in the middle of a dry river. The trowel you catch, put it on the stupid grass and wood ash and it will not go.
When we were young, we remember that there was often a round-mouthed sand tank more than one meter high at home, with some rice roots in it, and my grandfather and father often went to our local Zhongxing Town and Hexing Town to exchange some additional money to come back to supplement the family.
When the cotton came on the field, his father would have to go with Jiang Zhengcai of Lilai Town, and the sand dog would wait until the flower collection station managed by Zhuang Jin to step on the cotton, carry the bag off the boat Tiandou, and sometimes the mother also went to help.
