Carved impression of childhood
My childhood impression is very vague, vaguely remember some.
At that time, the Sanming City, which is now called Sanyuan District. At that time is mainly wooden boarding house, very few brick structure. Only the government, the authorities school is a brick structure of small high-rise, the highest only 4 ~ 5-story buildings.
Zhongshan Road (National Highway 205), the main street in Chengguan, was lined with wooden houses.
On September 25, 1955, the tenth day of the eighth lunar month. The Great Wall was born in Sanming Xinkou.
Both of my parents are illiterate, can't read a word, honest, and ate all the sweet and sour of the world. From Minqing Baizhang Xinzhuang Yang village, came to Sanming Xinkou to support the boat for a living, in Xinkou wooden sail station, in the Shaxi River boat a few years, and then to the city of Guan Shuilushe, Sanming City, the second transport company, the rickshaw all over the Sanyuan District of the road street, is the most bitter generation of people.
Xinkou is a small natural village, there is a stone arch bridge, is the ancient legacy of the stone bridge. Under the bridge, the creek flows into the Shaxi River, here, every time you catch the dike, a sea of people, stalls along the street on both sides of the bustling. There is a magnetic bar that I like to eat.
This place reminds me of the old days when I was a child, and my parents lived here, I remember that in front of the house there is a fast stone plate, summer can be cool. ...When I was in junior high school, I took a 20-cent bus to Xinkou to catch the market, and I bought chickens and raised them in the hill opposite to the Chengguan Woodenware Factory.
At that time, the bus ticket from Chengguan to Xinkou was 20 cents, and I took the bus to Xinkou to buy rice bran and chickens and ducklings.
I remember when I was a child, (around 1961) I followed my father's back and walked from Chengguan to Xinkou, where my father earned his living as a boatman in the Sanming Xinkou land and water community. My father was a boatman in Xinhuan, and my mother was a boatman in Sanming Chengguan. In the past, only Yao Aijiao remembers.
Second, my home.
When I was very young, with vague memories, Xinhuan was born, Sanming Chengguan live in Zhongshan Road, Shaxi River downstream of the roadside wooden houses, and then Fenggang Road, a private house by the road (now the location of the Chengguan police station), the two places is the earliest impression.
The earliest memory, living in a wooden house, remember a bowl is hanging from the beam with a basket, in the bowl fell to the ground, breaking a lot of bowls. This was in the area of what is now Victory Road against National Highway 205.
The second time I lived in the middle of Yangxiang private house, there is across the seed station, there are nightmares, I remember Minqing hometown sister in the middle of the night from Minqing to Sanming, I fell asleep, she put candy in my mouth.
The third time, on the side of Taibao Temple {there crossroads), one end of the Rehabilitation Road until the Third Hospital, one end of the pier steps to the Shaxi River. Also up and down for Zhongshan Road.
Impression of the story of sericulture, and the house of the big old snake. Attend a banquet with my mother in the old township, and was dealt with by the neighborhood committee to clean up the street's stinky ditch.
The fourth time, is living on the side of the road; father in Xinkou propped up the boat, pulling some of the countryside demolition of the old materials. On the opposite side of the road built about 4~50 square meters of wooden boarding house, built did not live into, because of the next door Minqing old folks bullying, did not live into.
The fifth time, parents in the old residence of the train station now river beach to build a second house also did not succeed. That year (1962), the second bank of the Shaxi River is a sandy beach, gray, gray-yellow sand left children bathing in the river footprints.
Finally in the wood factory opposite the mountain side is to cover the earth wall house, I was in the fourth grade to graduate from junior high school. (1966 ~ 1972)
Sixth live in a self-built earth house, there are Yao Jinguang born earth house, sister Aijiao married. Mother worked as a laborer in the sandstone company.
Finally, because and neighbors do not get along, this house sublet, my family moved to 129 Qianjin Road (according to the cuttings team files). Roughly, it was a private house at the mouth of a lane down Yang Lane.
In the lower lane and Zhongshan Road by the fork, there is a wooden boarding house. There are compartments, very low, people can not stretch. The first kitchen, the middle room is a single woman to live, the back against Zhongshan Road, a mere 12 square meters. Do housing, it is really pathetic, there are ai Xian, ai Yu, into the light and I, plus parents and relatives 6 people crowded together. There is no furniture, wooden orange, wooden box and a cart. That's all that's left of the house. I left my home here and went to the countryside to join the army.
March 25, 1972, the memory of the day with the countryside with the youth, to the Jikou farm to the countryside.
During the time I was in the countryside, I went home from time to time. My parents often moved, just on this Zhongshan Road, in order to save a few dollars, moved around, have lived in the Yangxiang Xiang side of Zhongshan Road, two private houses, and Taibao Temple up a small alley, two places.
In November 76, when the selection, is to live in the Temple of Taibao to go to a small alley to live inside. When I went to the coal school, I also lived there, and when I went to work in Jiangle, I played half a set of furniture is also there.
At the end of 82, when I was growing my daughter yl, my family was living in a boarded-up house at the mouth of Yangxiang by the wharf.
By 1983, parents moved to the city's second transportation company in the train station building, the building just built, began to rush to move in, when people to the room conditions were too poor, only then lived in the 203 room. Room about 60 square meters, crowded parents, love jade, into the light. My family. There were 7 people. Aiyu was married from here, I can not remember the exact time.
The train station has been living until the parents passed away, Yao Jinguang live until the replacement of the new house. 2017, I have to go to see the old residence of Sanming - train station house, has become a dangerous building. Qianjiu for the old folks and other private houses built all demolished. Only this building left crying in the wind and rain. See this old residence, many stories are far away with the time. It is Room 203, where both parents, Aiyu, Jinguang, the Great Wall, Changjiang and their children spent good times. "Great Wall" and "Go with the flow" went to Longyan Coal School from here. "Linzi" went to finance school from here and went to work in a plastic factory.
Second, the story of the earth room.
The house on the side of the mountain opposite the wood factory.
Location in Sanming City, opposite the wood factory hillside, there were a few outsiders along the hillside dug out of a vacant lot, with the direction of the mountain side to cover up the earth wall or brick house. The first floor of the mountain side is a row of brick bungalows of a unit. We had to pass by this place every day, and then go up the dirt steps to the second floor of the house.
I went to Shingon Elementary School, and lived in an earthen house on the side of the hill, just a few minutes from the school, and now the school building is left with an empty lot, which has been made into a parking lot.
At that time, the main entrance of the elementary school to a row of brick houses, the left is a pigsty. On the right is a wooden structure on Chang'an Road, where Liu Wanjuan lived.
In front of the right side of the school door is the Chinese Hospital.
Recalling the experience of elementary school, I remember that the school was a three-story building. A platform in the center was used for assembly speeches. The door to the school is a classroom for physical education classes. The school building is opposite a sand pit, some sports ground. In short, the campus was very small, and when I graduated from elementary school in August 1969, I didn't take any pictures of my graduating class. Only individuals gave each other one-inch photos. The photos of Liu Fengjun, Liu Wanjuan, Deng Yanqing, Deng Yanyao, Pan Wenjie and others are still kept in the album.
At that time, my father pulled a cart, my mother did housework, and my mother also worked in a sandstone company. 1966, Yao Aijiao got married, and 1967, Yao Jinguang was born. The family of seven spent the hard years in a very simple house with earth walls. There was also the carefree life of our childhood. We are very small, too ignorant, remember 1964~1965 years, with loess and half of the red bricks (brick factory inspection), playing the earth wall, Aijiao shoulder and pick earth, father with a wooden equipment, hand-played bungalow partitioned into four small rooms, against the south or with some picked up half of the red bricks built up the wall. To the north was the kitchen. Behind the kitchen is the hill, there is a piece of sycamore tree. On the top of the sycamore tree, my parents planted vegetables, long beans, string beans and other crops. I also helped to carry water to water the vegetables. On weekends, I helped my father push the wagon.
During the Cultural Revolution, there were gunshots, and my parents built a crib in the back of the earth house for us to hide from the turmoil of the year. The era of the Cultural Revolution, the big-character newspaper covered the sky, affecting the elementary school, the upper grades of the school, the upper grades to participate in the crosstalk, the lower grades to join the red soldiers, all kinds of various types of mass organizations covered the whole society, the three loyal to the four unlimited into our minds. Saw the municipal office in a mess, the school could not attend classes. The entire social order was in chaos, and there were armed fights on the path from Chengguan to Xiayang, with casualties. Now the department store (Youth Road), a naked body, was soaked in medicine, swollen city people went to the spectators, this street on both sides of the wall was covered with large-character posters.
The Cultural Revolution Sanming mainly 128 and 624 two major mass organizations. All these mass organizations with the political color of the Cultural Revolution, seriously affecting the progress of society, interfere with the normal life of the people. In that out-of-control scene, there was constant news of martial arts fighting.
Behind the kitchen dug up tunnels, and do not know the support. The digging was 2-3m, and then in a downpour, the rain penetrated the earth and collapsed, and washed down the earth wall of the kitchen, but it was not a big deal.
On the left side of the house, there is a small vegetable garden dug and planted some small vegetables. The garden is watered manually in times of drought. The tap water has to be picked from a wooden bucket in front of 200 meters to the door of other people, and the water used is very economical. There is no electric light, but kerosene lamps, and when you do your homework under the lamps, your nose will be blackened.
Behind the house is a small hill, the weeds thatched grass, a few sycamore trees, spring is a big leafy green scene, white flowers, ball-shaped fruits, to the winter, the leaves fell bare, bare tree trunk in the cold winter air.
The earth house spent my joyful childhood, some things in the past, are flying in the mind, think of the past life experience, sighing parents and parents of the difficult.
The earth house, down to the highway, the steps slippery soil, the mother home on the steps to close work slipped.
The family raised two hens, soon to lay eggs, the night the chicken coop forgot to move into the room, the next day, found that the whole cage of chickens were stolen by thieves, the mother of the sad tears.
The earth house, our siblings a few people, I will bully Aijiao them, sometimes quarrel. Aijiao married at a young age, mother 42 years old (1967) born into the light when the sister also gave birth to a child, her child got chondromalacia, did not raise a few years away.
In those days, the parents had many children at home, and life was very hard, and my sister's marriage was a desperate move on the part of my parents.
When I was in the earth house, I went to my classmate's house at night to play until 9~10 o'clock, when the street la ba sounded the Internationale, I walked on the main road to go home. At that time, there was no opera house, no TV, not to mention no cell phone, as soon as it gets dark, go to bed, the conditions are not good is the kerosene lamp lighting.
At that time, the plywood factory was at the top of the slope of the road, the wood factory to the plywood factory there is a section for the local farmers' vegetable fields. (Wood factory to the direction of the lower ocean, uphill is the plywood factory). Back then, life was bitter, to the farmers' fields to pick up leaves to eat. My father went to check the vegetable leaves and vegetable farmers have disputes.
In order to build the road from the wood factory to the plywood factory, Chengguan Shuilushe arranged for workers to repair the road at night to the highway. I top father to do it.
At that time, my father was in the plywood factory to do the unloading of wood, rolling head saw table roll plywood. The pine bark is peeled off and sold to the public by the boarder. Qianjiu for the hometown, his family lives in the red flag movie theater on the side of the alley, I used to have to pull a crate of bark to sell Qianjiu for the hometown, a crate of bark only 2 yuan.
Sanming City Plywood Factory is a foreign move to Sanming, in the early 60s, Sanming big construction, textile mills, printing and dyeing factories, etc., are that era into Sanming. My father also worked in the factory for a period of time, when I also went to the factory bathhouse bath, some of my classmates parents work in this factory.
The factory area is larger, my mother fishing shrimp (raw shrimp) to the plywood factory dormitory to sell. Raw shrimp 30 cents per pound. It is the middle of the village around the field to fish, let me remember that era, my mother took me and Aijiao to the Fu Xingbao plastic factory mountain streams in the back of the trail, over the mountains to a ridge field, with a net tool, in the edge of the paddy field, fishing up shrimp and other plankton in the water, when the farmland did not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, to maintain a primitive ecological environment.
From early in the morning, take dry food, take the road, to the hills behind the Fu Xing Bao plastic factory, climb the mountain, go up the steep slopes along the halfway up the mountainside, walk a flat mountain road, down to the bottom of the mountain there is a natural village, the village side of the ridge fields and small streams, in March to April and July to August spring plowing, summer harvest and summer planting seasons, there are shrimp and other plankton in the field, with shrimp nets, go to the countryside to fish for shrimp in the field, until the evening darkness. Until dark in the evening before arriving home, adults can fish 6 to 8 pounds of fresh shrimp, equivalent to 1,8 yuan to 2,4 yuan of income. In those days, it was a very good income.
Shrimp sold the next day. The seller can't finish making shrimp paste. When I was a kid, I ate too much shrimp paste, which was one of the reasons why I had bad skin.
Local only Minqing people have fishing shrimp. I remember once and my sister went to fish shrimp, on the way home, on the way to the big flat road, knocked over her shrimp tube, shrimp on the ground alive ...
In the back of the plastic factory mountain fire, my mother and I, and Ai Jiao went to check the fire mountain left black and unattractive tree branches. The tree poles. Moved home to do firewood, I remember checking too much, desperately back and forth to carry firewood, it was dark before moving finished.
My childhood and junior high school is spent in this earth wall house, to September 1969, directly to Sanming First Middle School to read the first year. It was 2~3 kilometers from home to school. It was a ten-kilometer walk two times a day. Past the long steps of the forestry light court, past the aluminum factory.
The Forestry Lighting Stadium is on a high hillside, and the steep and long continuous steps from the Experimental Primary School side road were a must for me to go to middle school.
In junior high school, the era of politics, learning agriculture, school farms and factories. In the summer, we have to go to the countryside to support agriculture. Every year also to the school farm to participate in labor.
I remember a school, it was a dark, stormy weather, a high-voltage power lines to the ground, students ran forward in the rain, did not pay attention to the front of the high-voltage power to the ground, all of a sudden two students electrocuted.
Remember there is another thing, 1970, the students in the church class, suddenly outside the window rang up a cacophony of noise, we rushed out to see the morning light direction of the smoke rolling. There was a fire, we all coincided, immediately rushed to the scene, ran out of the school, through the Aluminum Products Factory to the steps of the light court, high up to see the scene of the fire of the residential houses on Zhongshan Road, Chengguan. Students along the steps of the forestry lighting stadium, straight down, to the scene to help put out the fire, a chaos. People couldn't tell whose belongings they were, and one passed one to another. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, all wooden boarding houses, and finally in the Zhongshan Road fork with explosives to extinguish the fire source.
This two-year junior high school life on the hazy past, junior high school graduation with the climax of the mountains, came to the Jikou farm to accept the re-education of poor peasants.
At that time, parents and next-door neighbors are not united, disagreements, did not live for a few years, roughly in 1972 before I was inserted into the countryside, the family moved to the lower lane of Zhongshan Road, the archives write Qianjin Road, No. 129.
The earth house on the hill is rented to others, as if the rent problem also made to the court to deal with. I was too small to help with this.
Finally, because of the above reasons, the earth house was sold. I rented a local house for a long time, and I was very poor.
Third, Shaxi River
Shaxi River, one of the waterways of the Minjiang River, the source from the territory of Mingxi Hanxian, Huangshaxi, Shaxi Village, Chetoukou, Jikou, Iwaki, Huangshazhou village into the Shaxi River.
Another tributary headwaters from Ninghua Hexikou, Xixi, Chahu River, Jiulong River, over the Qingliu County Job Creek, into Yongan.
Another tributary source from Liancheng Beituan town creek into Yongan.
The three tributaries merge into Yongan Creek River to Xinkou and merge into Shaxi River, forming Shaxi River.
The river bisects Sanyuan District, with Chengguan to the east as the seat of the Sanming City government in the 1960s, and Eagle Xiamen Railway Sanming Railway Station to the west, as well as chemical machines and factories.
Chengguan to the train station, passers-by walk pontoon bridge, vehicles by ferry (with two wooden boats connected. Suspended on a wire rope pulley, by the force of the water over to the other side).
When we were young, in the summer, diving and swimming in the pontoon bridge, home parents do not allow me to go to the river to bathe, called Aijiao watch, but I still sneak to the river to swim. Once in the pontoon diving, the second thumb of the right foot was sharp glass cut a mouth, and still have scars.
At that time, the river bank by the train station was a sandy beach with no buildings, and the pontoon bridge to the shore had to pass through hundreds of meters of gravel road before reaching the road to the train station.
Against the side of the city, there are several piers down to the Shaxi River, from top to bottom, respectively; Rehabilitation Road, Yangxiang, Youth Road, opposite the Wujiaochem store. Bamboo ware society side of the big camphor tree. Chengguan pontoon bridge, ferry port road (Guo Shangbin home mouth).
Shaxi River Dragon Boat Festival, that time the local people from the temple to lift out the dragon boat, down the river to hold the annual dragon boat race. The scene is spectacular. Local songs are used to express the joy of the festival.
hair big water, surging river water, yellow, sand, with the upstream rushed down the wooden board fast, rapids, there are individuals holding up the bamboo row, paddle over to pick up wood.
I remember a big flood directly to the passenger loaded ferry overturned, drowned a lot of people. In the second three years, the Sanming Chengguan Bridge was built.
Fourth, the experience of living in Zhongshan Road.
Zhongshan Road is along the Shaxi River north-south, is one of the main streets of the year. Both sides of the wooden structure of the boarding house, and a small number of brick houses. In 1992, the old city was remodeled and constructed as National Highway 205. The old buildings are all gone.
On Zhongshan Road, at about the location of Yiyuan Road by the river, there is a thousand-year-old tree, the banyan tree. Next to the tree are steps down to the Shaxi River. Nearby are small stores, bamboo ware clubs, the Chengguan police station....
The Bamboo Ware Society, I read in elementary school about 5th grade, in the Bamboo Ware Society to worship a master as an apprentice, 8 yuan per month, a haircut, lunch at Fenggang Road, my sister's home to eat lunch. Once I followed the workers of the Bamboo Ware Society to the Fuxingbao Plastic Factory to make baskets out of gabions, wrap the plastic buckets, and load them onto trucks for shipment out of the factory. Lunch in the plastic factory cafeteria to eat, I remember eating really good. At that time I was eleven years old.
The streetscape of Zhongshan Road, I still do not forget every place, every store location, memory worry really can not erase the memory.
Zhongshan Road and Jiefang Road fork, by the river there is a photo studio, Pan Wenjie students are living there, across from the Mulan store.
Jiefang Road, there is a street in the collection of waste recycling store, I once went to the water plant with students to check the waste sold, the hand was cut by the glass bleeding. And to the opposite side of the factory to check the copper and aluminum sold 1 1 2 dollars, then is really happy.
The street on Liberation Road sells drinks for 5 cents a cup, and I was thirsty and used my change to buy a cup for 5 cents.
On March 25, 1972, I went to Jikou Farm. At that time, my parents moved around to save the few dollars for rent.
From the lower lane entrance, to the lower 50 meters of the Yang Lane entrance of the local plank house, inside and outside the two houses.
I remember that once the Changjiang sister came to my house, then lived in the factory on Zhongshan Road along the side of the street. 50 meters below the mouth of Yang Lane. My father ate my mother's fried rice in oil at 3:00 in the morning, pulling a crate, to the quarry under the mountain now called Hongru to pull the stone. It was a 15-kilometer round trip from the mountain to Fuxingbao. It was a 15-kilometer round trip. A crate of stone 2~3 yuan. I pulled 2-3 carts a day. I sometimes go to help my father behind the cart to push the cart.
Early in the morning to the quarry, first pull 1~2 car stone, unloaded to the roadside, and then up the hill, pulling a car of stone down, through the plywood factory of the small slope, to the city gate under the long slope, through the soy sauce factory brick factory, and then take the road to the FuXingBo factory. There were glass factories and plastic factories under construction. At that time there was no automobile transportation all rely on the board truck pull stone, brick.
The board trucks go more often, more than a dozen, empty car to return, each board car frame together, down a long slope, that's very scenic, a scenic line.
When life was hard, a penny for two quarts of water, bathing to burn their own cauldron, wash their bodies with a large wooden bucket. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that. So read the middle school weekend to go up the mountain with classmates to cut wood fire. When we went down the mountain in Jikou, we had to check the firewood with the car to the lumberyard and transported it to our home in Sanming to burn the firewood. I remember one time, with the car with firewood unloaded in the crossroads of the Customs side, and later and my father with a crate pulled to the Zhongshan Road residential.
I was in Jikou, and my family moved to a private house by the pier on Yangxiang, and two private houses on the alley on Rehabilitation Road.
75 years, talked to a friend, when the family lived in the Yangxiang mouth under the location of Zhongshan Road.
To the selection of the transfer, take the transfer order, in the Leidong Yi Jian dormitory over night, Yi Jian is a Fuzhou people and my mother is familiar with. (One year the Spring Festival and Yangtze River went to his home).
The next morning to the Leidong bus station, take the bus to Dada construction, transfer to other cars to Yongan Samuel South "Sanming City coal mine".
From the coal mine, recommended to the coal school, March 77, the family was living in the alley under the rehabilitation road. Mother went to the rotten house on the steps of the Rehabilitation Dock to cut the bag of foreign ash.
In February 79, went to Jiangle, wedding furniture is processed in the above housing, with the coal mine to pull cement cars to bring to Jiangle
80 years the family moved back to the plank house by the pier in Yangxiang, four sides of the wind. Aixian in the shoe factory, she and her parents have a poor relationship.
On December 18, 80, the eldest daughter, Linzi, was born here. As Changjiang's maternity was pushed back, I used two years of family leave. Come to accompany the Yangtze River to give birth, in the back side of the river boarding house permeable, and winter cold wind blowing cold, the bed is not padded quilt, with books spread all over the bottom of the bed. Sitting on the moon in winter. Really bitter.
On the day of the full moon, I remember inviting Liu Wanjuan students to eat full moon wine at home. The family was too poor at that time.
In the 80s, the policy was liberalized, and Zhongshan Road was prosperous. The tobacco and rice were liberalized.
Fifth, recall the story of junior high school
Sanming a middle school, the school's scope is relatively large, the main door from the Red Indian Hill fork up a few hundred meters is a middle school's main gate, the back door is by the aluminum factory, earth fence apart, half of the students are to the back door into the campus, remember the school a dry ditch, this ditch, in addition to the Cultural Revolution deep digging holes, wide accumulation of food left behind by the air raid holes, and there is also a place with the bones of the tired white The first time I saw this, it was a very good idea.
There is a temple-like building. Shi can resist the factory where teachers take students to make medicine. We students went to pick wild chrysanthemums to make loquat syrup.
Remember a playground, next to the school building. The impression is too fuzzy, how to think, can not recall the appearance of the alma mater. Some things, with regret forever disappeared in the memory.
Impression of Zheng Xuehai, in the school farm on New Year's Day 72, he asked a question, New Year's Day editorial article name is what? I also remember that it was in the farm simple hut to play the unity store meeting to ask. The years are like a song, the years are like a shuttle, a flash of time has passed more than 40 years. I can no longer recall what it looked like at the beginning.
Jikou days
Time passed without notice, today can do down to recall the past, is also a spiritual enjoyment. I turned pages and pages from the 7~80 diaries I left behind and saw the Great Wall of that year. It was as if the fire had passed through yesterday.
I pull back in time to March 25, 1972, I just graduated from Sanming First High School, I was 16 years old, I signed up to go to the countryside, after the city's four geared towards the office approval. Fresh graduates of the school were uniformly assigned to three farms such as Huirao, Xikou and Jikou. The conditions are better in Jikou farm.
March 25, 1972, is an unforgettable day, came to Jikou farm. Arranged in the Chetoukeng agricultural second team, together with Pan Wenjie and others.
Sanming City, Jikou Farm is located in the junction of Sanming and Mingxi, 30 kilometers from the 306 Provincial Road. The farm consists of Dajixi, Chetoukeng and the field department. It is engaged in tea team, fruit team, pig farm, fish pond, agricultural team, machine brick factory, chicken farm, tractor station and other economic entities. In the 70s ~ 90s, the farm is very prosperous.
The first batch of youths went to the countryside in 71. I was in the second batch, along with Pan Wenjie, Li Xianghua, Min Mingxing, Xiao Yinni, Zhang Zhendong, Du Heming, and so on, and then there were many more batch of young people came from time to time.
The first year in the Chetukeng Che 2 team, Chetukeng is a small natural village on the border of Mingxi County. It is a small stream with two mountain peaks on both sides. The local people are basically surnamed Deng, there are Deng Shengxin captain, Deng Shui Zhu, Deng Bicheng, Deng Shuisheng, Deng Biyang, Deng Shengkuan, Qiu Jinchao, Wu Wenyi and other local people.
Chetoukeng had a unit of Jikou Breeding Farm as early as 58 years ago, which was later merged into Jikou Farm.
At that time, the farm than to go to the production brigade conditions are better, the farm once a month to pay wages, once a month to kill a pig, one person to share a pound of pork, there is a canteen, there is a medical room, these treatments in the countryside brigade does not have.
The first year, Pan Wenjie and I were assigned to the farm's Chetoukeng agricultural second team. The main planting of rice, rice planting in the ridge field, the location remember called Luo pit. Captain called Deng Shengxin, passed away two years ago, to the agricultural team to follow the old farmers out of labor, the highest work score is 10 points of labor, we know the youth rated 5 points of labor, a work score is 10 cents. The first year, the state subsidized youths 8 yuan per person per month, the second year there is no subsidy, then a month of more than ten yuan per month, every month with the exhaustion. I remember the first month, will buy the meal ticket, the remaining 4 yuan to take to the parents, is the second time to take money to the family. The first time is in Zhongshan Road, the riverside bamboo ware society as an apprentice 8 yuan a month. ...
The first point has done rice-planting, chopping tower (with a flat and curved knife will be the grass of the field embankment split by the roots) pulling rice seedlings, picking rice seedlings, the field under the fertilizer, weeding, and sometimes use their hands in the water to pull grass, at that time, my feet were mosquito bites itchy skin, scratching the skin, the blood are seeping out, with the field's mud cover, ...
Every day Early in the morning to meet the sunrise, take a hoe to walk across a small bridge to the opposite side of the river to do farm work in the field, the bridge under the stream called Jikouxi, the river water is pure to the bottom, light naked eye visible and small shrimp, small fish and other plankton, visible in the 70's the environmental purity of the...
I have a good understanding of the environment.
I passed by this stream every day at the end of the day, and in the summer season, I went directly to the river to swim and bathe. When I first went there, I was planting double-season rice in March, and in the early spring, at the end of February, I went into the preparation for spring plowing, from rice planting to the end of March, when I finished transplanting rice. The first thing you need to do is to get into the raking stage and apply fertilizer and pesticides.
At that time, the water in the field is still very cold, I learned from them to roll up the legs of the pants high, biting teeth bare feet, stepped into the paddy field. I felt the pain of the bone-chilling cold water. Stepping in the soft mud, bare skin, contact with cold water, with wood loaded iron crawler, in the field in the middle of the seedlings back and forth up and down, left and right pumping, soil long grass was turned floating on the surface of the water, the original clear water, all of a sudden was 挍 yellow ..., after some days, the rice paddy rice seedlings grow much taller, pulling, tasseling, and opened up the yellowish rice flowers. And then some days after the flowers into a rice spike, from green gradually turned yellow, formed a heavy rice.
Summer is coming into the double shot. That time is called summer harvest and summer planting, because the rice here is planted double shot, early rice harvest, immediately followed by plowing, transplanting rice seedlings, planting late season rice. I have cut grain, transplanted rice seedlings, and sun-dried grain. I remember that in those days, we ate rice in a big pot and made steamed buns in a uniform way. The steamed buns were delivered according to the head of each team, snacks were made to the fields, and even tea was made to the fields.
Selection of Sanming City coal mine
Selection, back to the city is the desire of all young people. We are all looking for a way to make the transition to the countryside as a stronghold. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good deal on this. As soon as the farm had a transfer quota, it was taken away by the other youths. In November 1976, the Sanming City coal mine recruited, and the youths suspected that the coal mine was hard and dangerous, with the influence of "men do not go into the mine, women do not go into the spinning", no one signed up to go to the coal mine, and I saw that it was also an opportunity to be transferred. I signed up, filled out the form, and got a transfer order. The first time I saw this, I was able to get the money to pay for it.
I remember when I went to the Sanming City coal mine to report, to Leidong coach station to take the Sanming to the construction of the shuttle bus, in order to catch an early train, also a day early, to the mother of a carpenter I know, Fuzhou people, called Yi Jian. In Leidong by the Second Middle School that area to engage in construction. In his place to stay overnight, early the next morning walking to the station, take 6:00 to Dada car, along the old highway, from Dongxia into the Fu Xing Fort, the mountain highway to the construction of the station, get off, and then transfer to the Yongan Huainan Commune. Construction to Samuel South is all the way downhill highway.
When I got to Huinan, I found the coal mine, which was still in the preparatory stage, and the coal mine house was still under construction. All the houses, offices and warehouses were rented from local people.
There were a few people who were recruited from all over the world, and I can't remember their names.
