In my childhood, popsicles were not really a high-grade snack, but after all, they were an industrialized product, unlike the agricultural products in front of and behind my own house, so they were still rather
This is the first time I've ever seen a popsicle.
He saw other kids eating popsicles, and his mom would sometimes trade eggs for them, sometimes buy them with money, but she gave them to me and my big brother to eat, and she didn't want to eat them herself. Sometimes when we were not at home at the time, she would put the popsicles in a warmer and wait for us to come back to eat them. My brother and I have eaten a penny popsicle, and occasionally two cents, but never eaten five cents a milk popsicle, to see other children eat, always look at the eye, envious.
Finally, one day, my brother and I gathered enough money to buy a milk popsicle to taste. We thought of our mother had not eaten, so we ran home happily, wanting her to eat the first bite before we eat. The result can be good, mom saw my brother and sister spent "huge sums of money" to buy a popsicle, with the words now belong to the typical "hedonism and extravagance", immediately fire, she did not eat a mouthful of, first of all, the popsicle thrown to the roof of my house, and then picked up a hand The fire stick to, even beat and scolded that we are losers, solid to me and my big brother to do a "stick stew meat" dish, especially my big brother was hit harder, because the blame by him to lead, in fact, really blame my big brother, that time it was my idea.
This incident, we married many times and mom mentioned, she always smiled and did not say. We felt that she might have realized that she had not handled the situation properly, and she regretted it.
Mom, we don't blame you, the memories are sweet and funny.
The second most important thing ----- bicycle
In the eighties, to ride a bicycle of Phoenix, permanent, Flying Pigeon, Golden Deer and other big brands, is equivalent to today's Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
At that time, Dad had a worn-out Golden Deer bicycle. When I was five years old, my dad rode the bike, carrying me on the front beam, from the rear defense base to the East Chicken Village to see the circus show. I watched the bears and monkeys perform, and was so happy that I danced and danced, and my excitement was hard to express. Unfortunately, the joy of it all gave birth to sorrow, and when I came back, my right foot was rubbed by the front wheel, and a big piece of skin fell off, which hurt me so much that I cried straight away.
After our family moved to the town of Holtz, my father bought a permanent bicycle for my brother in junior high school, and my brother loved it so much that he couldn't wait to go to bed at night without wrapping his arms around it. In order to solve the problem of the new car is afraid to wear off the paint, my brother's approach and many children at that time to treat the new bike the same: with colorful plastic strips of the bike triangle frame are wrapped, and in the spokes of the rim of the car on the stick on some good-looking rooster feathers, riding on the top of the look especially beautiful, especially wind, especially strong, I want to borrow to ride a little bit also do not allow.
At that time, I was using my dad's old car, tied a big stick to the back of the car (to prevent falls), practicing "out of gear" riding. One day, I took advantage of the big brother did not lock the car, stealing his "ride" to ride to our school, in front of the students with my "out of gear" riding skills is very fooled to ride a few laps, although stumbling, but the feeling of the time the beauty of the flip, but the consequences of the return home, that is! The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it!
The third big thing ----- radio
In the rear defense base, Dad in the whole of Tun first bought back a radio, can be regarded as the whole family in addition to flashlights, the second high-grade household appliances
In the beginning, our own family used to listen to the news, listen to opera, listen to commentary, listen to children's programs. At that time, one of my favorite columns was "Grandpa Sun Jingxiu Storytelling", every time before the storytelling, a child's voice always said "the trumpet began to broadcast it", after which Grandpa Sun told us the Monkey King, Nezha, the story of the Little Red Army and so on, so that I listened to it again and again, I was fascinated. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.
Later, people from Tunzhong came to visit my house and realized that this "foreign electric box" was really a good thing. So, after dinner, we are very accustomed to come to my house, especially the elderly, children and women, some women and aunts with shoe soles, knitting and so on some of the hand need to do some work, to the kang a sit, while chatting with the mother and work, and then listen to the opera, commentary, but also do not miss the hands of the work, can be regarded as a more enjoyable spare time leisure at that time. As far as I can remember, my mother never minded too many people or too much noise, and even in summer, when the house was hot and there were not too many people sitting on the bed, my mother came up with the idea of letting my brother set up a pole in the yard and hang the radio on it, with the volume turned up to the maximum, so as to make it easier for more people to listen to the radio. Turn on the radio, when the "commentary broadcast" program time, by Liu Lanfang broadcast "Yue Fei biography", will immediately let the noisy crowd quiet down, no matter the adults and children will be with Liu Lanfang explained the plot of the conversion, the expression constantly changing, or happy or anxious, or angry or sad; mouth from time to time issued a "Aiyo", "alas" and other exclamations, and supplemented by the hand patting the head or foot stomping on the ground and other body language. I remember once, half an hour of commentary, the old Mrs. Bai Wang You daughter-in-law's thighs are shot red.
From this, we can see that the amateur cultural life at that time was still quite poor. After everyone dispersed, leaving a ground of melon rinds, sugar paper, cigarette butts and other garbage, mom was always tired of, go out of her way to clean up for a while. She also advised me and my elder brother not to be dissatisfied with the visitors, Tuulitun relatives who do not bother anyone ah, people come to show that our family goodwill. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you can get your hands on some of the most popular ones.
And then, the civilian electricity in Tuen Mun, the brigade gave each family a cable radio, by the person who regularly broadcast news and all kinds of notices. As long as you pull the rope on the wall, the radio will broadcast "News and Newspaper Digest" and other voices in standard Mandarin. The number of people coming to my house gradually decreased, and the scene of listening to commentaries in a courtyard became a fond memory.
