Built with an earthen hearth. The stove was connected to the kang to keep the kang warm in winter. That's why kang masters were especially in demand at that time. They had to make kangs for new houses, and they also had to make kangs for old kangs that had collapsed after a long time of sleeping. Who could afford bricks at that time? Instead of using bricks in key places, they made their own mud, the main building material, and worked hard to make adobe using molds. Rows of neat and smooth adobe lay on the ground, and when the weather was sunny and dry, they were picked up and placed in stacks at the base of the wall. The adobe was very heavy and would break if carried wet. Life was hard, and the poor people's children were the first to be born, so we helped make and carry the adobe at a very young age, and we seemed to be having fun and working hard at the time.
The production team is a large collective, the captain is still very authoritative, every day under the big acacia tree ringing up the bell to call people to work, assign tasks and so on. In those days, they used their own fertilizers on the ground, used manual labor to catch bugs on the crops, used scythes to cut the wheat, used animal carts to pull the grain and fertilizer, and were pleasantly surprised by the sight of a walk-behind tractor. The children ran after the tractor and said that the gasoline smelled really good.
There were a lot of livestock in the production team's yard at that time, and they waved their tails to drive away the buzzing flies and ate hay slowly and methodically. The yard smelled strongly of animal manure. The keeper serves the animals with care and gives them bean cakes. Bean cakes are so delicious that when a small child with no snacks goes to visit the animals, he is often gifted with a few bean cakes by the keeper. A piece of hard fragrant bean cake, enough to grind our teeth for half a day.
Then the package production to the household, single dry, as if the magic wand in the hands of the fairy a wave, soon ate the first improved, corn flour cake when the days of the family gradually far away, white bread on ordinary days also want to eat. And meat, eggs and milk, the market supply is gradually sufficient, clothing, shoes and socks and other daily necessities, but also do not need food stamps to buy.
Restoration of the college entrance examination in 79 years, ten years of agricultural work of my parents, through unremitting efforts to get into the public hospital, jumped out of the door of the farm, and from now on said goodbye to the face of the soil back to the sky of the years, but also to bring the children's account are out of the house.
After another 20 years, which is the 20 years of rapid development, our family renovated three houses, all brick houses, bright and transparent tall and spacious. Ceiling, installed lamp pool, walls scraped imitation porcelain, tiled floors, home heating. The kang was removed a long time ago, cooking with liquefied petroleum gas. Eat is chicken, duck, fish and meat, wear is silk, according to my mom's saying: you are now living the landlord's days ah!
Not only our family, the whole village has undergone radical changes, many people have built brick houses, red brick to the roof, there are sophisticated people with the same city, installed a whole kitchen. In addition to farming also engage in sideline business, go out to work, hand are rich, the village almost no adobe houses. The streets and alleys, which used to be muddy when it rained, have been hardened. The village to engage in a new socialist countryside, everywhere on the walls are painted to publicize the respect for the elderly and love children to stop gambling and drug posters, the village hygiene is also very good, everywhere is refreshing.
Now the mechanization of agriculture is progressing gradually, and people are not so tired of farming. The most tiring days of harvesting wheat and autumn are now easy. People have more time to do other things.
With the acceleration of urbanization, many people in the village have gone to the city to buy buildings, and in the winter they live in houses with underfloor heating, and a thin blanket, they can spend the harsh winter, and the happiness index has risen ah!
Since the implementation of the New Farmers' Cooperative Program, people are no longer afraid of getting sick, and the phenomenon of poverty due to illness is gradually decreasing. Every year, there are free medical checkups, especially for the elderly, who want to live two more years in the good old days.
Our family also bought a commercial house, every family dinner, my father faced a table of chicken, duck, fish and meat, often say one thing is: before living in a small broken house, dream never thought there will be today ah! I'd like to thank the ****producing party and Deng Xiaoping!
Forty years of flick of the finger, the sun and the moon have changed. In another forty years, we must still have unimaginable changes, I look forward to .......
Part II
The countryside aunt called, the words are full of joy, she said she moved, moved into the building, and the whole village as a whole relocation, also like the city people cooking on the natural gas, the house in winter has floor heating, so that I take the time to go home to see go.
To be honest, I have not been back to my hometown for a long time, not that I do not love my hometown, just because of the barrenness and backwardness of my hometown has left a very deep imprint on me, in my mind, my hometown is a muddy dirt road, dust and garbage full of flies flying around.
Ten years ago, I went back to my hometown of Mizuno town to attend a cousin's wedding, the wedding let me shocked, the countryside to get married must find someone to look at the day to find an auspicious day, the big aunt looked for a Taoist man who is said to be very accurate, he chose the 19th of June, a good day, the Guan Laozi's birthday, do not want to be the day from five in the morning on the rain pouring down all day rain on the stream, but the pain of these welcoming the marriage of the team, the day of the wedding, the wedding is a good time to see the family, the family's family is very happy. The big aunt's home is adjacent to the Ma Cheek River, a small village Dongjiahe, to the village of more than ten miles of dirt road, the bride's car miserable, most of them are stuck in the mud, had to ask the village tractor one by one dragged out of the mud, the dowry car dowry has been drenched in soaking wet, the more tragic is the bride, into the soup, the scene of the woeful.
With that unforgettable memory, I seldom went back to my hometown until I received a call from my great aunt and suddenly remembered that I had not been back to my hometown for 10 years.
The old mother is also eager to go home, the next day on the yelling back, can not argue with the mother, I took a leave of absence to drive the family to the great aunt's home, on the way to the mother's endless chatter, said she left home for several years, in the city just can not catch up with the comfort of the home, I know that the mother that is unforgettable hometown of the native soil.
Five children, finally arrived at the old home, but everything in front of me, I feel like the wrong way, how is this the big aunt's home?
Coming to the Mizuno community in front of the big aunt said she lived, only to see the road is wide and flat, both sides of the buildings in rows, cars, traffic, the flow of people, the newly built Mizuno community buildings, squares, green areas, street lights and other infrastructure, people's faces are overflowing with happy smiles.
The auspicious community gate towards the west, the most notable is the auspicious community plaque. It is three doors and four columns, columns under the eight elephants, the side facing west, the center of the four words is "auspicious Mizun", the couplet is "a thousand years of Pingchang County wide awareness of the world, ten thousand families peaceful new home blessing on earth", the east side of the center is "Mizun Jixiang", the first couplet is "magnificent Mu Party grace gathered people here today for the auspicious city", the second couplet is "Mei Xi Chuan Han law Xing Tang rhyme Shi place was originally the town of elk".
When I was surprised, my aunt and uncle ran all the way over, and my aunt was quite excited and said to the neighbors that my nephew from the city came to see me!
The aunt greeted me and drove the car directly to the garage downstairs, and then the family joyfully led us into her new home.
Da Aunt's home is a large 120 square meter house on the 2nd floor, with a large living room and a chic video wall in front of the door. Inside the house, the windows are clear, air conditioning, TV, sofa, water dispenser, hanging flowers on the wall, the vase on the table with silk flowers, and a large fish tank, a few goldfish in the fish tank swimming around in style.
Walking into the kitchen, it was nothing less than the whole kitchen of the city people. The walls are white tiles, the countertop is black marble, range hoods and gas stoves are fully equipped. The kitchen is fully equipped with fluorescent lamps for overhead lighting, and a glass enclosure with a good meal, cleaned up immaculately. Aunt: "In the past, the village burned firewood cooking, home smoke, a meal choked tears, now good, cooking with natural gas."
The lover was full of praise, smiled and said to the great aunt, great aunt, we do not go, stay here for a few days okay?
The first time I saw this, I was able to see that I had a three-bedroom apartment, so I could live here for half a year, not to mention a couple of days!
The most eye-catching part of the community is the 8.3-acre central plaza and central park.
The square and park are arranged in an east-west line, with flowers, trees, water and pavilions, and this is a place for people to have fun, relax and exercise.
Walking in the wide plaza, the surrounding flowers decorate the square extraordinarily beautiful, 24 flat electronic screen playing the cloud water scrupulous heart of the "Morning Glory" song, so you step into the fairy scene in general; letter step park, the beautiful pond lotus, was wisps of wind awakening, to you revealed the pink smile, the poolside willow leaves fluttering in the wind, like a beautiful and moving young girl's hair, so that you are relaxed and happy! The first time I've seen this is when I'm in the middle of the night.
Today is the weekend, the children are out of the house to play, some sliding scooter, some riding the pendulum, some flying flash ball, there are playing badminton. The square is full of children's happy noise, slowly, twilight blurred up, the square lights bright, lights on the grass, lights on the trees, lights on the columns, the whole square has become a sea of lights. The square at night, like the wings of the fire phoenix, illuminated thousands of households.
The great aunt called to say that dinner has been done, I realized, unknowingly and aunt in the community around two hours, walked to the entrance of the building, look at the electric three-wheeled just placed, I said to push the garage to go, my aunt shook his hand, said no, you see, along with my aunt's hand, in the front of the building on the wall I saw a monitoring, my aunt said that the front of the building after the building are installed with an electronic eye, open the door! I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it, but I'm going to be able to get a good look at it!
Only a few years, that time every household is scared at night, that time theft is the trend, not the east of the sheep in the middle of the day to let people hold away, that is, at night so-and-so's home was hollowed out, a pair of big yellow oxen were taken ......
Auntie saw my doubts and said that it is the old days, the past Poor, the poorer the more inviting thieves, now people's days are better, those thieves and small habits have no market, now we all turn over the land, not far from the community in the industrial park to work, a year there are 50,000 to 60,000 yuan of income, our days are really sesame blossom and high ah!
Part III
"Sister Kang, hurry up and go ah, we go to catch the big market."
"Okay." I packed up my things, put my bag on my back and hurried downstairs with Meng Meng.
North of the unit not far away from a small market, is the dawn textile bazaar, every afternoon vendors will be as promised. So, every now and then, the partners will call together to catch a big market, buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, living supplies. It has become a happy food basket for everyone. And I, inwardly, is disdainful of this, a corner of the small market, can have much charm and energy? But could not withstand the small ally of the pestering, had to promise to accompany her to walk through, just to explore its "Lushan true face".
After the traffic light, two or three minutes of driving will arrive. Turned the intersection, far from the big set will be reflected in the eyes. The summer has arrived quietly, the sun at five o'clock in the afternoon is still shining brightly on the earth, shining on people's happy and peaceful face. The sky is blue, like water washed general clean, a few white clouds floating leisurely, wide road on both sides of the green tree like clouds like cover, green shade full of selling a variety of goods on the board, from east to west, a glance at the end. Grandparents and grandmothers leisurely swinging bushels of fans pacing the square, apparently while skating Taobao; grandparents leading just after school small grandchildren, children weaving in and out of the crowd, looking for their favorite things: "Grandma, I want ice cream." "Grandpa, buy a big watermelon." The young man in work uniform dashingly put a big motorcycle, want to half a catty of "soy sauce beef"; handsome big girls and small daughters-in-law while selecting the goods of choice, while exchanging tips on dressing up and beauty ...... The vendors are warmly entertaining their customers, bargaining, exchanging pleasantries and laughing, steaming like a pot of boiling water......
My heart couldn't help but be shaken by this wonderful bazaar. Thinking about it is really emotional, this is the development zone, in addition to the intersection south of this street is a few schools, surrounded by factories. A few years ago here or chimneys, the air is turbid, not long after the haze once. Now the city's significant effect of health, gurgling black smoke chimneys have long been unknown, the factory environmental management to meet the hard indicators, or will be ordered to stop work. Slowly, the sky is blue, the water is clear, the air is fresh, people took off the masks, smiles revealed, it is not, the lively market also rushed up!
The goods on the set of a wide range, our eyes are about to look over, look at this side, eggplant, beans, kidney beans, cucumber, olive tomatoes; look at that side, lychee grapes, watermelon melon, cantaloupe, peach, green, tender, red, yellow, colorful and colorful temptation in your eyes. Our taste buds have also been unprecedented attack, fried chicken fried meat skewers, roast duck baked egg tarts, scallion pancakes, soy sauce cake, five spice cake, fried doughnuts, fried sugar cookies, fried sesame flowers, and a variety of small snacks, small cookies, candies, peach cobbler ...... A string of aroma with an attractive gloss straight to the nostrils drilling, hooked up the belly of the greedy grumble grumble grumble! Blue sky and blue trees, sunshine and breeze, colorful costumes, colorful fruit and vegetable goods, pleasant pace, bright face, fragrant air ...... My heart is going to melt in this flowing, colorful bazaar ......
"I bought a piece of pumpkin yesterday, but it's really sweet, let's go buy a whole one today." Mengmeng said, then pulled the y intoxicated me, through the bushes straight to the pumpkin stall. Picked a pumpkin and handed it to the pumpkin seller's uncle, who skillfully weighed it for us, we opened our cell phones, and the uncle took a look at it and hurriedly brought a small card with a QR code printed on it and said, "Sweep the WeChat ah." We laughed, now sell vegetables uncle aunt will also use the two-dimensional code collection. I said, "Uncle, you are quite fashionable, you can also use WeChat to receive money." Uncle laughed: "Must keep up with the new era ah, otherwise it will be outdated."
Sweeping WeChat, by the way, scanned the group of friends, a small friend has a set of housing, a set of market buildings, the unit moved to this side, and want to buy a small apartment here, in order to prepare for the children to go to school. I whispered to Mengmeng said: "Xia want to buy that two-bedroom 66 square feet." Before Mengmeng talk, uncle said: "66 square feet is too small, the elderly can still live, young people three people live, the child can not play, how to get a large apartment, 120 square feet or more." We all laughed, the uncle said is so reasonable ah. The uncle then said: "This year, my shantytown renovation, I can get two sets of 120 square feet of big house." "Wow, you're a rich man, uncle!" We all gave the uncle a thumbs up, and the uncle smiled proudly.
After buying the pumpkins, we continued to stroll on. "Xiaokang, you've come to the fair too." Walking head on came my middle school classmate now a high school teacher. He was smiling and holding a little tiger-headed doll in his arms! I said in surprise: "Aiya, is this your second son? He's grown so big!" Classmates cracked a smile: "Yes." After the liberalization of the two-child policy, those of us after the 70s finally caught the last train, have to be on the second baby, and as a baby daddy and mommy. At this time, the little one pointed to the kebabs across the street, and his classmates hurriedly held the child and walked over. How happy ah, I looked at the big set of these children, grandparents led, mom and dad holding, well-dressed, flamboyant, to what adults will not hesitate to pay out of pocket.
I can't help but think of my childhood when I was with my parents at the fair. When I was a child, my father especially liked to take me to the market, not to let me go to see the world, but because I can help his old man look at the car, can save 20 cents to look at the car fee it! Think about that material is not rich in the era, not afraid of children are afraid of car theft, children are not as valuable as the car! Every time we arrived at the market, my father put the car, told me to stand next to the car and do not go anywhere, and then hurried into the crowd disappeared. I guarded my family's "big golden deer", bored, looking at the dust on the street and the crowd is not dense head of the market, tracing the figure of my father, eagerly waiting for him to come back soon, I feel that the time has been so long! Finally, my father came back, but the shopping bag in my hand did not bulge much, which are all the necessities of the family, I was looking forward to a popsicle or a meat bun also always fall through. The children of poor families know what to do early, the little me will never cry with my father for this reason, only obediently with my father to go home. I remember my father only bought me a popsicle once, on the way home, I sat on the beam of my family's "Big Golden Deer", my father rode fast, driving a gust of cool wind, I sucked on the cool sweet popsicle, from time to time handed to my father to suck on, and I felt an immense sense of joy inside, and even the big sun did not feel the heat! Think of it as the best and most memorable popsicle I've ever eaten.
When I went to the market with my mother, it seemed to be a better scene, because she would ask me in front of the colorful candy stalls or the hot and fragrant meat buns, "Niel, do you want to eat?" I looked at those tantalizing treats with bated breath and secretly gulped, but my head shook like a rattle drum, saying I would not allow my mother to buy them because subconsciously I felt that buying those things was spending money recklessly and not living a life of luxury! In fact, deep down inside how longing to eat them ah!
Only one thing is that my mother did not have to go through me to buy for me directly, that is, in the highest building on the big fair in the supply house to pull a piece of cloth for me to look good, and then return home to my mother will be busy, for me to tailor-made new clothes. Home sewing machine click click click sang a happy song, not a few days, the new clothes will be on the body, mother dexterous, fashionable new styles to see a few eyes will be, meticulous workmanship is exquisite, novel style, so my new clothes always attracted the envious eyes of the little ones, my heart is also beautiful!
"What's the matter, Kang, you can't move your legs! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new one." Meng Meng's jokes pulled me back from the memories, which remembered that Meng Meng children's grandfather to grandchildren to buy a big bag of chicken wings, back home Meng Meng also want to talk to my sister cell phone video, learning to do cola chicken wings it!
We picked enough, reluctantly embarked on the road home. The setting sun's afterglow shines on us, driving in the broad and flat boulevard, my heart is not only touched or touched, like this bazaar, in our vast motherland should be universally available. Reform and opening up forty years, I personally feel that people's standard of living has improved, the money bag bulging, food basket rich, home environment improved, the spirit of the new face, happiness written on the face, melting in the laughter, into the heart of the heart ......
Unforgettable, this lively and peaceful market, this colorful flow of the hustle and bustle, next time I will come ......
Part IV
"Green hills, people are not old, *** wish, the motherland is good ...... "Recently, the author weekend leisure at home, watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program highlights. The melody of "Unforgettable Tonight" was sung once again, not only echoed in the room, but also stirred in the heart. Once again, I can not help but recall the scenes of the Spring Festival Gala in previous years, vivid in my mind, a thousand feelings. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, the wind, rain and snow for decades, sweet and sour, a mixture of flavors.
The first time I watched the Spring Festival Gala was 34 years ago, and it was the 1984 Spring Festival Gala - the second on CCTV, but the first for me. At that time, the spring breeze of reform and opening up was blowing, the economy was recovering, and the problem of food and clothing had been basically solved; the melodious and popular songs such as "Young Friends Come to Meet Us" and "On the Fields of Hope" had become popular, and the spiritual life was becoming richer and richer, but there was no way to compare it with the present.
At that time, I was in my junior year at Laiyang Agricultural College, which is nearly a thousand miles away from my hometown. The first thing I did was to take a look at the newest version of this article, which is the one that I've been working on for a while now, and I think it's a good one. At that time, we lived in a cottage, bedding with their own, unlike the current student apartments, all the facilities. The so-called "school guard" is the students' bedding, textbooks and other living and learning supplies concentrated in a large house. The students who stayed in the school will take care of it. The three of us are responsible for looking after the belongings of 60 students from two classes in the 81st grade of the Department of Pastoral Medicine, all of which are concentrated in the classroom on the east end of the second floor of the complex building facing the south gate of the school. The items were neatly placed on desks side by side on both the east and west sides, leaving a row of windows on the south side for a panoramic view of the campus. On the podium on the east side of the north wall door, a black and white television set, the only one in the department at that time, was placed. In this way, one can save more than 20 yuan in round-trip traveling expenses, and the second can get 1 yuan per day *** counting more than 20 yuan of "school fee", both add up to nearly 50 yuan, which is undoubtedly a great help to the remote rural family of seven! At that time, free school, according to the family situation and teachers and students, I enjoy the highest living expenses of 14.50 yuan per month, has been basically guaranteed to eat "eat well". In view of this, can not be reunited with relatives over the holidays of melancholy slowly faded, and the next thing is very warm. Lunar New Year's Eve was February 1, 1984, in the evening, the hospital security section leaders in the canteen "feast" condolences to nursing school students, after the meal with your hands to wrap the next morning potluck dumplings. Afterwards, came to the fountain in front of the building next to the rockery, and teachers *** with fireworks, the old and welcome the new.
Returning to the classroom, the TV was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. The stage was not as colorful as it is now, but the jubilant fountains, blooming lotus flowers, leaping carp and the ever-changing variety of programs were absolutely breathtaking to us who had not seen the TV program several times! Zhao Zhongxiang, Lu Jing, Huang Ah Yuan, Jiang Kun and Jiang Lili co-hosted. Ma Ji's witty and humorous one-liner "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes", Zhu Shimao and Chen Pesi's exquisite sketch "Eating Noodles", and Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua's righteous comic "Boast of the Hometown" won the applause of the audience. Yin Xiumei's "Where is Happiness", Shen Xiaozen's sweet "Please Come to the Ends of the Earth", Zhu Mingying's "The Sea, My Hometown", Yu Shuzhen's melodious and soothing "Our Life is Full of Sunshine", and Jiang Dawei's passionate "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom" are still familiar and dear to our hearts. That year also started the precedent of inviting Hong Kong singers to participate in the Spring Festival Gala: Xi Xiulan's "The Girl from Alishan", "My Motherland", and Zhang Mingmin's "Walking on the Ridge", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and "Country Road", all of which brought a spring breeze to people's faces. Zhang Mingmin sang "My Chinese Heart" is even more popular, quickly sung north and south of the Yangtze River. It is worth mentioning that Li Guyi sang the theme song "Unforgettable Tonight", which was so popular and memorable that it almost became a must-sing at the end of the Spring Festival Gala. Accompanied by the sound of laughter, ushered in the opening year of the 60th year of the Year of the Rat, the Year of the Rat.
After that, watching the Spring Festival Gala every year became my obsession. The first time I saw the show, I was in my hometown, and it was a very difficult time to realize it. The village had just been connected to a high voltage power supply. It was a novelty for people, and it felt like a door was suddenly opened in a dark room and bright sunlight poured in. My parents told me that before my grandmother went to sleep, she would always point to the electric lamp and tell her to "blow it out to save oil" (before that, she relied on kerosene lamps for lighting). For fear of interfering with the final exams, the family didn't send me a telegram when my grandmother died, leaving me with a great deal of regret! In that year, there was no TV set in the village, so naturally I had no connection with the Spring Festival Gala; and even if there was, I couldn't go to see it under those circumstances.
1987, graduated and returned to Ling County Vocational College to work for nearly two years in the spring of this year, I entered the school at the same time to work in the "six brothers" in the first to get married, in the "stinky old nine," the remaining sound of the young teachers became the object of a lot of people to talk about. The first of the six brothers to get married. What was even more enviable was that my father-in-law gave my daughter an 18-inch "Peony" color TV! At that time, there was no TV set in my hometown, so from the Spring Festival of 1988 onwards, I used the "Baishan" brand 28 bicycles near the Spring Festival every year to carry the TV set fixed on the bottom of a cutting board, and shakily ran more than 20 miles back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year together with my wife. The whole family crowded in the then still relatively "fashionable" "four corners of the hard (walls of adobe, four corners of the periphery of the brick)" tiled room with the viewing of the Spring Festival dinner. 1989 Spring Festival began, the daughter also joined the ranks until the Spring Festival of 1992, the old family to add a The daughter also joined in the program until 1992, when the family bought a television set. However, at that time, the father has died, the eldest sister has been married, watching the Spring Festival gala is no longer the previous "whole family" ......
2014 Spring Festival, the old family moved into the village and the neighboring five villages overall demolition of the new community built. 150 square meters of two-story villa building lined up, the real realization of several generations of people, "upstairs and downstairs, lights and phones," the dream. Spring Festival, outdoor red lights hanging high, spring couplets, indoor warmth like spring, spring festival is in full swing ......
This year's Spring Festival Gala, 107 cm high-definition LCD TV extraordinarily powerful, the Spring Festival Gala program is more colorful, beautiful, it can be said that: a new era, a new journey, a new work, pleasing to the eye; big scene, a big stroke, a big vision, stirring; ideological, artistic, ornamental, the pearl is a combination. Five places linkage, the four seas rejoice, brightened up China's "cultural confidence" - not only China's Spring Festival Gala, but also the world's Spring Festival Gala. In addition to the main venue was built on the soil stove. The stove and the kang were connected to each other, and the kang was burned in winter to keep warm. That's why kang masters were especially in demand at that time. They had to make kangs when they built new houses, and they also had to make kangs when the old kangs collapsed after a long time of sleeping. Who could afford bricks at that time? Instead of using bricks in key places, they made their own mud, the main building material, and worked hard to make adobe with molds. Rows of neat and smooth adobe lay on the ground, and when the weather was sunny and dry, they were picked up and placed in stacks at the base of the wall. The adobe was very heavy and would break if carried wet. Life was hard, and the poor people's children were the first to be born, so we helped make and carry the adobe at a very young age, and we seemed to be having fun and working hard at the time.
The production team is a large collective, the captain is still very authoritative, every day under the big acacia tree ringing up the bell to call people to work, assign tasks and so on. In those days, they used their own fertilizers on the ground, used manual labor to catch bugs on the crops, used scythes to cut the wheat, used animal carts to pull the grain and fertilizer, and were pleasantly surprised by the sight of a walk-behind tractor. The children ran after the tractor and said that the gasoline smelled really good.
There were a lot of livestock in the production team's yard at that time, and they waved their tails to drive away the buzzing flies and ate hay slowly and methodically. The yard smelled strongly of animal manure. The keeper serves the animals with care and gives them bean cakes. Bean cakes are so delicious that when a small child with no snacks goes to visit the animals, he is often gifted with a few bean cakes by the keeper. A piece of hard fragrant bean cake, enough to grind our teeth for half a day.
Then the package production to the household, single dry, as if the magic wand in the hands of the fairy a wave, soon ate the first improved, corn flour cake when the days of the family gradually far away, white bread on ordinary days also want to eat. And meat, eggs and milk, the market supply is gradually sufficient, clothing, shoes and socks and other daily necessities, but also do not need food stamps to buy.
Restoration of the college entrance examination in 79 years, ten years of agricultural work of my parents, through unremitting efforts to get into the public hospital, jumped out of the door of the farm, and from now on said goodbye to the face of the soil back to the sky of the years, but also to bring the children's account are out of the house.
After another 20 years, which is the 20 years of rapid development, our family renovated three houses, all brick houses, bright and transparent tall and spacious. Ceiling, installed lamp pool, walls scraped imitation porcelain, tiled floors, home heating. The kang was removed a long time ago, cooking with liquefied petroleum gas. Eat is chicken, duck, fish and meat, wear is silk, according to my mom's saying: you are now living the landlord's days ah!
Not only our family, the whole village has undergone radical changes, many people have built brick houses, red brick to the roof, there are sophisticated people with the same city, installed a whole kitchen. In addition to farming also engage in sideline business, go out to work, hand are rich, the village almost no adobe houses. The streets and alleys, which used to be muddy when it rained, have been hardened. The village to engage in a new socialist countryside, everywhere on the walls are painted to publicize the respect for the elderly and love children to stop gambling and drug posters, the village hygiene is also very good, everywhere is refreshing.
Now the mechanization of agriculture is progressing gradually, and people are not so tired of farming. The most tiring days of harvesting wheat and autumn are now easy. People have more time to do other things.
With the acceleration of urbanization, many people in the village have gone to the city to buy buildings, and in the winter they live in houses with underfloor heating, and a thin blanket, they can spend the harsh winter, and the happiness index has risen ah!
Since the implementation of the New Farmers' Cooperative Program, people are no longer afraid of getting sick, and the phenomenon of poverty due to illness is gradually decreasing.

Our family also bought a commercial house, every family dinner, my father faced a table of chicken, duck, fish and meat, often said one sentence is: before living in a small broken house, dreaming never thought there will be today ah! I'd like to thank the ****producing party and Deng Xiaoping!
Forty years of flick of the finger, the sun and the moon have changed. In another forty years, we must still have unimaginable changes, I look forward to .......
Part II
The countryside aunt called, the words are full of joy, she said she moved, moved into the building, and the whole village as a whole relocation, also like the city people cooking on the natural gas, the house in winter has floor heating, so that I take the time to go home to see go.
To be honest, I have not been back to my hometown for a long time, not that I do not love my hometown, just because of the barrenness and backwardness of my hometown has left a very deep imprint on me, in my mind, my hometown is a muddy dirt road, dust and garbage full of flies flying around.
Ten years ago, I went back to my hometown of Mizuno town to attend a cousin's wedding, the wedding let me shocked, the countryside to get married must find someone to look at the day to find an auspicious day, the big aunt looked for a Taoist man who is said to be very accurate, he chose the 19th of June, a good day, the Guan Laozi's birthday, do not want to be the day from five in the morning on the rain pouring down all day rain on the stream, but the pain of these welcoming the marriage of the team, the day of the wedding, the wedding is a good time to see the family, the family's family is very happy. The big aunt's home is adjacent to the Maheche River, a small village Dongjiahe, to the village of more than ten miles of dirt road, the bride's car miserable, most of them are stuck in the mud, had to ask the village tractor one by one dragged out of the mud, the dowry car dowry has been drenched in soaking wet, the more tragic is the bride, into the soup, the scene of the woeful.
With that unforgettable memory, I seldom went back to my hometown until I received a phone call from my great aunt and suddenly remembered that I had not been back to my hometown for 10 years.
The old mother is also eager to go home, the next day on the yelling back, can not argue with the mother, I took a leave of absence to drive the family to the great aunt's home, on the way to the mother's endless chatter, said she left home for several years, in the city just can not catch up with the comfort of the home, I know that the mother that is unforgettable hometown of the native soil.
Five children, finally arrived at the old home, but everything in front of me, I feel like the wrong way, how is this the big aunt's home?
Coming to the Mizuno community in front of the big aunt said she lived, only to see the road is wide and flat, both sides of the buildings in rows, cars, traffic, the flow of people, the newly built Mizuno community buildings, squares, green areas, street lights and other infrastructure, people's faces are overflowing with happy smiles.
