happy looking back

Most beloved Chairman Mao! "Grandma's soft voice was full of passionate enthusiasm.

"Bitter root! What a good name!" The aunt thought about it carefully and exclaimed in admiration.

Nearly 40 years of time gap, the gap is almost immeasurable.For me who was born in the early 80s, the early 70s was a time and gap that I could never understand.But now I look forward to such an era of extreme material scarcity and fully closed society to bring me a different kind of feeling.

The baby's body is delicate, and it is my bounden duty to sleep when I am full, and to eat when I wake up, so I fell asleep thinking about it.

Early the next morning, the yard was busy.The young mother was wearing a big red jacket, with two pigtails tied on her chest with a red headband, and a fluffy liberation hat on her head. She looked very festive.

"Sister-in-law, are my parents here?" The mother craned her neck to look out from time to time.

"Don't worry, drink the soup first." The aunt handed a steaming bowl of red sweet jujube soup to the mother, "Your natal family is the seventh group of Xiaohe Village, and we are the eighth group. The distance is only a hundred and ten meters. It’s not a blink of an eye.”

"What about my father and father-in-law~~~" The mother said a little embarrassedly, taking a sip of the jujube tea.

"The whole of Xiaohe Village knows that the two of them are not on the right track, and the rift has been going on for almost 30 years." The aunt seemed to think of something that had originally high emotions suddenly fell to the bottom, and her frowning brows were stained with unresolved sadness.

"Sister-in-law—" the mother hesitated and didn't know how to persuade her.

I lay on the bed and listened to the lively laughter outside the house. I wanted to join in the fun, but I couldn't even turn over.The thick, patched padded jacket and the small cotton trousers with shoes bound me tightly like a zongzi.

"Aying, parents are here!" Ge Heping, who opened the door and entered the room, was full of joy.

"Baby is going to meet your face-saving grandpa soon, baby, please behave well~~~" My mother picked me up, picked up the tiger-head hat that was warmed under the quilt, and put it on my dangling head.

"I learned it there, my dear! If my parents find out, it will be another reprimand!" My aunt helped me tie the upper of my panties gently with a piece of cloth rope.I kicked my two short legs vigorously to protest: my waist was tied and my legs were tied too, it was too uncomfortable!

"But the root of bitterness is too ugly~~~" The young mother muttered, but her hands grabbed my kicking legs.

"Fame is easy to raise!" The aunt hit the nail on the head.Although my mother still minded the nickname, she didn't refute it.

4. Planning...

"Dad! Mom!" My mother walked out of the room holding me.The whole yard was full of people standing or squatting, some simply lying on the ground, all of them were dressed plainly and covered in patches, all in gray, black and navy blue. I felt as if I was in a TV drama shooting scene in the 21st century.

Seeing my mother and I walking out of the room, the men cheerfully made fun of the shy father beside them, and also flattered the grandpa who pretended to be authoritative.The women surrounded me chirping, pinching my face, pinching my ears, shaking my little hands, and even a bold woman pulled the diaper under me.

"Ah~~~ah~~~" Pay attention to civilization!Men and women can't kiss each other!The diapers sewn with rags and scraps were already very frustrating, but it’s not enough to use them, but now it’s basically incontinence.

"Okay! Don't bully my good grandson. Come! Come to grandma, look at this fat and cute little appearance, very much like when our family Ah Ying was young!" Grandma's voice is very unique, very soft and delicate It is estimated that the spring water ding-dong described by the ancients is this sound.

"Ah——" Saved!After escaping from the embrace of the wolf-like woman, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Hey! I still recognize grandma!" Grandma exclaimed, and gave me a hard wet kiss.I moved my head away desperately: I don't seem to be okay.

"Baby! I'm your auntie, come and call me auntie!" The girl who put her head up was very beautiful, with a pair of big almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and a playful smile. She was a lovely girl.

"Ah! Mother! The baby likes me! Look! Look! He smiled, he smiled at me." The beautiful girl pulled my long sleeves and shook them vigorously, the braids on both sides of her temples swaying I'm dizzy.

"What's it like! Crazy all day long! Let grandpa see my grandson!" The voice was thick, and the sight in front of him flickered, and the image of a typical Chinese farmer came into view.His short, neat hair was a little grizzled, and his thin body was wearing a dark cotton-padded jacket. The white button-down jacket lining was washed white, and a bag of dry cigarettes hung around his neck. His wrinkled face showed joy.

A big chapped and rough hand gently squeezed my small face, and nodded in satisfaction, "Ge Baojin didn't treat my grandson badly!"

"Hmph!" Grandpa snorted disdainfully, then he picked up a cigarette without a holder and handed it to his mouth.

"Ge Jinbao is stingy about everything, but he is never stingy when he buys cigarettes. Look at Pugang. It's [-] cents." Grandpa took out a pinch of golden shredded tobacco from the cigarette pouch and stuffed it into the ashtray of the dry pipe. Inside, pick up the match to light a cigarette.

"The bad old man doesn't even look at the child in his hand!" Grandma snatched the matchbox from Grandpa's hand, pretending to be angry.I took a deep breath, it smells so good!Authentic Yunnan white silk, after 40 years, there is nowhere to buy it if you have money.Staring at the golden shredded tobacco in the ashtray, saliva dripped down.

"Hey! As expected of the blood of my old Huang's family, it's all good." Said grandpa put the ashtray in front of my nose.

"Ah~~~" authentic!Pure enough!Excited, I jumped up and down and wanted to reach out.

"Damn old man! You're still in good spirits!" Grandma snatched grandpa's dry pipe, and didn't forget to hit grandpa on the head with the pipe, which made the big ladies and young daughters-in-law all around burst into laughter.

"Crazy old man! Don't be careful in front of the juniors." The grandma who was pushing the stone mill with the sister-in-law at the side couldn't help scolding with a reddish face when she saw her carefree way of taming her husband.

"Old Jintou! I'm going to work in the county in two days, let Heping follow me to be a craftsman." Grandpa's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the grandfather at the stone table with a serious expression.The young father, who was helping to serve tea and water in the yard, suddenly stopped his hands and feet when he heard the conversation here, and looked here expectantly.

"Huang Guigui! I told you! My son will only be a farmer in his life, not a craftsman!" Grandpa blushed suddenly, stood up with a "swish", slammed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and turned around Go out to the yard.The father behind him showed disappointment on his resolute and immature face.

"Old feudalism! Old stubborn!" Grandpa watched his grandpa walk away with an ugly expression on his face.After entrusting me to my mother, I became more irritable and stubbornly went home for dinner.The people who ended up in the yard were a little dumbfounded.

"Don't pay attention to those two bad old men! After 30 years of arguing, you are still fighting, and now you have grandchildren and grandchildren, and you can't stop!" Grandma picked out the "three-point" ceremony covered with a red cloth. A large handful of peanuts were placed on the table, and the children playing with mud at the side saw the rare snacks swarming over and swallowed around the small table.

"Eat it! Eat it! Have fun!" Grandma grabbed another two handfuls of peanuts and gave them to the chattering young and old.Everyone was a little embarrassed at first, but couldn't stand the grandma's kind invitation, so they all happily ate.

"It's my old sister's ability!" Grandma put the ground corn flour into the flat purse, looked at the long-sleeved grandma in the field and nodded slightly.

"Mom! Why doesn't dad let Jianguo Heping and the others learn the craft?" the aunt asked after hesitating for a long time.I quickly pricked up my ears to know why.

"It's like this when you read a lot." Grandma said in a low voice.The eldest aunt still can't understand the relationship between reading too much and learning crafts.It dawned on me: Scholars in China have always been superior to others since ancient times. Even in the 21st century, it is still a society where mental workers rule people.

"Old sister, please help me out." Grandma greeted grandma apologetically, holding corn flour.

"I don't like to hear these polite words from the family!" Grandma laughed and cursed, then turned to the father who was wandering around and said, "Peace doesn't come into the kitchen to help!"

"Ah, uh! Okay!" After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen in a daze.The mother watched his father lose his mind, and watched him slowly disappearing at the kitchen door with great distress. People in their 20s are full of imagination about the outside world. It is no wonder that grandpa is so disappointed when he abruptly cut off all the dreams of the young father.

"Auntie, this is baked from the jujube in our yard. It's so sweet." Xiaofu, who ran over, put a dried red jujube in his mother's hand and watched expectantly. Hongzao held his mouth in a mouthful and exclaimed, "It's so sweet!" Xiaofu smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Siblings!" A rough and loud voice shouted at the gate of the courtyard.You Jianjun walked in carrying a small wet fish basket, followed by a boy covered in dirt, with a thick head and a thick head, and two lines of pus and snot.It seems that this is the baby named Bold, I squinted my eyes, feeling very happy in my heart.

"Brother You! You're here right now, why are you still bringing things!" My mother hugged me and walked forward, her tone full of joy that couldn't be concealed.

"The seedlings grown in the Yangtze River are worthless! Besides, this thing is for my eldest nephew!" He said, taking the fish basket into the kitchen.The little slug behind him looked at me curiously with his black eyes.

"Bold, come here, ah
