All along, in downtown Beijing, the Second Ring Road is close to the place where there is a river source, and the night traffic still occasionally encounters weasels, and the weasels with yellow bodies quickly cross the road. You will see it look around at the small head slender neck, torso, long tail, four small short legs, arching the long back and rapidly stretching out, this bow archery action makes it run fast, the car has headlights, you can see in the distance, the car is approaching, the weasel has long been unknown, its size is obviously different from that of the stray wild cat. I sometimes wonder if the surrounding environment has been so clean, under harsh conditions, what are these wild little guys eating in the city? Rats, small fish, insects, or leftover meat on the kitchen board in the canteen or restaurant next to the unit? Its long belly should be able to put a lot of food.
The weasel gives the chicken a new year's greeting
My family used to live near the intersection of the Northeast Third Ring Road and Airport Road and Jingmi Road, where there were two traffic lights and two police booths, there was no Sanyuan Bridge (Niuwangmiao Overpass), a four-story small red building built in 75 years, there was no house higher than one floor around at that time, and because it was built according to the Third Ring Road, it was not facing south, compared with the surrounding traditional houses, it seemed out of tune, always felt crooked, and was once a landmark building in this area. Before it was also a bungalow with a yard, the bungalow is especially suitable for the elderly and children to come out for a walk, the fence yard wall is crawling with lentil seedlings, you can eat with picking, the courtyard can build a grape rack against the wall, but there are always neighbor children into my yard to secretly grab a sour grape to taste the ripe, and finally there are not a few bunches of ripe grapes left. It is also difficult to plant a few sunflowers until the end, only as flowers, and every day there are bees flying around to collect honey. At that time, the state encouraged more children, and there were too many children in a gang, always nicknamed, and it was inevitable to fight.
My family moved into this building in 75 years, and then left in 1990, which is a photo taken by passing by now
At that time, there were very few cars on the Third Ring Road at night, and in the summer, everyone often went to the Third Ring Road to cool off, and some of them laid mats to sleep, because the road was cleaned by sweepers, and other places were full of mud. At that time, the third ring road was a cement washboard road, both sides were very deep road ditches, and my friends and I often went to the ditch in the spring to dig peach trees and apricot saplings that had just sprouted with shells to go home, because there were fruit stalls at that intersection all year round, but I don't know why it is so difficult to survive? But because there are many seedlings, they are often happy, because their hearts are always full of hope, what if they can plant and live, and produce peaches or sweet apricots? Willow trees and shrubs are planted along the third ring road, and the branches can be basketed, and children are woven into traps on their heads to make camouflage and play war games. At night, weasels are often seen running from one side of the Third Ring Road to the other, not knowing what the little one is busy with. There are a lot of flying bugs under the street lamp, the big ones have caddisflies, oil gourds, they actually fly, but they are more clumsy and easy to catch, many people living in the present do not know, but also often people catch to feed chickens, feed birds.
When I was in elementary school, I participated in the school of farming, and helped to move the cabbage cut from the field to the side of the road to be stacked neatly, because it was too heavy and too heavy, it was often not neatly stacked very high
Two or three miles west along the Third Ring Road, the fourth production team of the Sun Palace Commune in the Third Ring Road has a pig farm, and a few bold black pigs will also come out to find food and food, across a small road, there is a river pond on the west side of the road, and on the other side of the river are several dormitory buildings of Shuguang Electric Factory. These residents are close by, and they smell pig droppings from afar, but they are all used to it.
There are too many dirt roads, don't imagine being full of cement and asphalt pavement, walking and picking dry places to step on
Inside the pig farm are more than a dozen rows of pigsty in the open air, all of which are made of masonry and stone, and the pigsty doors made of thick wooden boards are not guardrails made of iron pipes now. Most of them are black pigs, some have two black pigs in the pen, some have a group of semi-large pigs in the pen, some have only one particularly fat black pig in the pen, and some have an old sow in the pen with a group of small pigs sucking milk, and the black flowers are like a zoo. I went to the pig farm alone or with my friends, and I seemed to be naturally curious about the pigs, and went in and out one foot deep and one foot shallow. Sometimes I still recall the smell of the past, the pig members live in the far south, and the walls of the dormitories are always hung with weasel skins. I've forgotten if I'd greeted them at the time, I don't know them anyway, they know whose child I am. To add, there was no foreign population at that time, and all the people who met in the circle of life would slowly become mature. If a stranger suddenly comes to these places, he can tell at a glance.
In the past, pig farms were black pigs
On the east side of the next wall is the team headquarters of the production team, in addition to the office, the conference room, that is, agricultural machinery, there are also a lot of empty carriages that are set up, and there are many horses, mules and donkeys in the inner and outer courtyards, which also have a special taste, but the habit is good.
Such donkey carts are generally used by rural families now, and it is difficult for individuals to have donkey carts during the period of the people's communes
Driven by a horse or mule, several donkeys pulling the cart in front of the car is a common production team to catch the big car, and the scene of the horse and mule driving at the same time in the picture has not been seen
Most of them are separated in the stables, and the food troughs in the shed are relatively high shelves, and there is bean and hay in them. I usually look at it from a distance, afraid that they will stick out their necks and bite me, and that they will suddenly scream for no reason and startle me. The donkey was not tall, but it was loud and long, gasping for breath and snorting, and the male donkey usually behaved with a strong desire, which caused us children to laugh. The horses in the stables were grumpy and didn't dare to come closer, I understood the reason why they were agitated, haha, I thought I had come to feed them, but unfortunately I didn't.
Call a donkey, look at the background is southern
Most of the production teams use animal power vehicles and have a large number of horses, mules and donkeys
I once went to the wild with my mother to take a sickle and cut the grass and dried it and sold it to the production team, and I didn't have a penny for a pound, and said that my hay was a little wet and made very little money, so I didn't get it later. At that time, my family was poor, there were many brothers and sisters, and the children always had to do something, probably if I made more money by cutting the grass, I would have to finish my homework and cut the grass every day.
A path in the woods
