When it comes to eating, at that time, in the Corps, employees, family members and children all had rations supply standards, mainly coarse grains, that is, corn flour, as well as flour and rice, that is, white flour was less. If we only rely on the supply of rations, it is definitely not enough. Then if you want to eat enough, you must find a way by yourself.
The children in the Corps are not hungry. A company has seven or eight hundred people and has planted nearly ten thousand mu of land. At that time, with grain as the key link, corn and wheat were planted in large quantities, and vegetables and melons were also planted in large areas. It is common for children to steal fruits and vegetables, and no one takes them seriously.
Want to eat meat, the company's shelter forest is everywhere, and the bird's nest on the tree is all from bottom to top. Climbing a tree and digging a bird's nest is a necessary skill for every boy, and many girls are also masters. Sparrows that don't migrate in winter live in the company's sheepfold, cowshed, and horse building, and they can catch a lot at a time with a flashlight at night. Take it home and you will have meat to eat.
Adults can't make do like this, but there are ways. The harvester harvests wheat. If the harvest is not clean, women will take their children to pick up the fallen ears of wheat in the harvested wheat field. The corn is harvested artificially and is not clean. Adults and children will turn over the pole to find the missing corn cob. Hard-working families can harvest a lot of food in the fields after the autumn harvest.
At that time, the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by the company were planted in a large area. The harvest is also average. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will still gain something in the harvested land. You can also wait until you turn over the ground and follow the tractor to pick up the potatoes and sweet potatoes that have leaked in the field.
As long as you get something to eat before it freezes in autumn, you don't have to dig through a lot of corn stalks to find corn cobs in winter. In winter, it is mainly chopping wood.
The company supplies one ton of coal every year, free of charge, as long as the freight is paid. If there is no money at home and the freight can't be paid, we will burn firewood. My father took my brother and me to dig roots. If dad doesn't have time to go, my brother and I will cut down trees. We cut down seven or eight meters of poplars all morning, cut them into several sections and pulled them home with a sledge. Learning is very thick in winter, so it is much more convenient to use sledge.
I remember that it was not until I went to college that my father became a doctor. When I was old, I began to burn coal, so I didn't have to cut wood every day in winter.
Spring is green and yellow, and there is no shortage of food in Xinjiang. Elms are everywhere in the company, and money grows in spring. Climbing trees to collect money is something that adults and children have to do. Every family eats money these days. This meal is so delicious that everyone likes it.
Solved the problem of eating and heating, and everyone lived happily, without so much anxiety and pressure now.
It's still bitter to think about it now, but I don't think it's too difficult to remember. Maybe everyone has it.
At that time, people were poor but happy. People nowadays are rich but worried. I want to know why.
I am a timid soldier, and I am telling stories around me. Welcome to the comments.
What do you think of the relationship between poverty, wealth, happiness and sadness? Welcome to discuss.
I was really poor when I was a child. Although I didn't eat bark, I was full and hungry. Eat sweet potatoes, cassava and even meat in the New Year, and make up new clothes for another year. Until now, because my mother has little land, no education and no economic mind, I still live on an acre of land. Agricultural products yield better when it rains. Drought has no income at all.
How poor was your family when you were a child? Let me answer this question.
When I mentioned how poor my family was when I was a child, it was really, three days and three nights, which was endless bitterness.
When I was a child, sweet potato was the staple food. Sweet potato shreds are cooked under the pot, sweet potato noodles are Baba, and a pot of beans is steamed. This is the rice that we often eat.
When I was at school, I used slate, which was made of my own basin bottom. Slate eraser is rolled up with rags and tied with thread, which is an eraser.
I remember buying an iron slate for only ten cents, but my father couldn't take it out. I cried and begged my father to buy one, and my father borrowed a dime to buy one. I am very happy and smile through tears.
Needless to say, when I went out to visit, my neighbor aunt asked me, did your mother prepare clothes for you for the New Year? I said, maybe not. I went home crying again. Mom can't help it. She went to ask her neighbor's aunt and borrowed a piece of flower cloth to avoid sewing new clothes.
August 15th is the day when we go to the fair. Dad picked a basket of kidney beans from the garden and spent the whole morning squatting in the market for fifty cents. Dad was very happy.
When meat is particularly cheap, it costs a few cents a catty, but it can't be eaten once a year. It is only cut during the New Year, and sometimes it is not bought. Kill a chicken and it will be the New Year.
I remember when I was a child, I dug a lot of wild vegetables. After school, I put a basket and shovel on it and went to the field. When I was digging vegetables, almost every household ate them.
Nowadays, our life is so beautiful that we must cherish it. A happy life is hard-won, and we thank the Party and Chairman Mao.
When I was a child, the country started from scratch. Chairman Mao led the people to struggle hard, starting from scratch, tightening their belts, and gradually establishing a system based on agriculture, led by industry, and complete in commerce, science, education, culture and health. From literacy to high school, medical conditions have improved. Every village has barefoot doctors, two bombs and a satellite, which consolidates national defense. The country has our family, the country is poor, and our family is also poor. Everyone is the same, fate and * * *, an equal life. There is no private nanny occupation, only public waiters, such as canteens, restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, service agencies and so on. At that time, everyone lived by working, and no one could get something for nothing. If they enjoy not working, they will be criticized. The bad guys took power and handed it over to the working people. Therefore, at that time, everyone was willing to be an activist, unwilling to fall behind, and backwardness would be criticized. The eyes of the masses are discerning, and no bad people are afraid of good people, so everyone is scrambling and motivated.
People suffer not from poverty, but from inequality. In the era of laying the foundation, if you are poor, you will change your mind, be full of enthusiasm, and have a goal in your heart, and life will be like sesame blossoms. Every day is getting better and better. People are in high spirits and high spirits, and they follow Chairman Mao all the way up the slope, and the more they walk, the brighter their hearts are.
Poverty and wealth are relative, zero to negative is wealth, and poverty in hours is much richer than that in the past. Of course, wealth now is not as rich as in the future. We should respect historical reality and compare objectively. This is a materialistic attitude, and we must not be led astray by people with ulterior motives.
When I was very young, I couldn't see money all the year round. In order to buy a pencil, I have to take the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell. When I grow up, I go to high school and go to school in a town more than ten miles away from home. Every day, my mother buys a dime lunch. Lunch is different every day. Go to the state-run hotel to buy a bowl of corn and hawthorn with 80 cents, pour some soy sauce and you can have a meal. Take care of the remaining twenty cents. If you accumulate more, you can buy pens, tablets and exercise books. Not much to say. Are you poor?
At that time, it caught up with natural disasters. Don't say poor, it's good to have enough to eat.
At that time, in the countryside. I just started kindergarten. There are few teachers, and the children take turns to attend classes in the afternoon. Teachers have no rest time except eating. Go to that class after this class.
Get up in the morning and drink a bowl of big slag that can see the rice grains clearly. Run outside and put on your pants. Mom shouted! Ha ha! You're still naked when you bow your head!
It's over. The only underwear. Yesterday I was naughty, buried and washed. How about this!
Hand, just reached the third brother's bed and took the third brother's underpants. Fuck off. Don't take my underwear.
You have a class in the afternoon, so lend me your clothes for the afternoon. No, it's not negotiable. I'm going to cut pig grass later.
I can't help it Let me borrow my sister's pants. Take it! Don't bury the whole thing, I have a class this afternoon. All right! My sister's trousers have just been washed.
My sister is ten years older than me. I rolled up my trouser legs and tied a small rope. The trouser legs are also rolled up. Listen, it's okay. Went to school.
The children are crawling on the playground, writing and counting. Whoever finishes writing first can go to the bathroom first.
Teacher, I finished writing, and I stood up. I only drank a bowl of thin soup this morning, son! Fast digestion. When I stood up, my stomach choked and my pants fell off. I just snuck out and stood in front of everyone.
The female teacher covered her mouth and didn't laugh. Students, burst into laughter. I blushed to my ears and felt numb, so I lifted my pants.
Go now! Go now! As soon as the teacher said, I ran away
Poverty, I don't know how to define it. If we are poor without food, drink or clothes, it seems that my family was not that poor when I was a child. It seems that my family is really poor if they want to live a life of eating, drinking and having fun.
Although I was born in a small town, my parents have jobs, food and drink, and I don't look poor, but I'm not very rich.
My parents' generation, they should be very poor when they were young! I heard from my mother that there are many brothers and sisters in my family, and I often can't eat, and I live on wild vegetables in the field, and my clothes are worn out. I just listened and felt the same way. Never experienced it. It seems that the previous days were very difficult.
In my life, I have never met anyone who has no food because of money. Although you can't eat big fish and meat every day, you can basically eat and wear. As long as you are not lazy, every household here can still do it.
Perhaps because of the different living environment, it is hard to believe that many people can't afford to eat and live in poverty when they watch TV. Although I am not rich, I have never suffered from hunger and cold since I was a child. I was raised by my parents and married my husband. It seems that I have never worried about eating and drinking.
In my opinion, poverty is divided into environment and times. Although I am not too poor, I can understand the pain of having no money to eat.
i am living out in the country. I was often hungry and cold when I was a child. Every winter, my feet crack into a big hole, I limp and walk hard, and I am so hungry that I roll on the road. The family only lives on their father 30 yuan's salary.
To tell the truth, my grandfather and father moved from Dezhou, Shandong Province to Henan to practice medicine. So, at that time, their families were fine, and friends and neighbors often came to eat at home. According to the old man, I often carry white flour steamed bread to help people, and my ancestors also received money for practicing medicine. When encountering villagers with difficulties, they often see people waiting in line for medical treatment, and some people come to visit with local products to thank them. At that time, there was a deep affection and pure nostalgia. In our small county, there is only one dentist's office in Fiona Fang. Moreover, my relatives in my hometown of Shandong often mail red dates and apples, and my parents arranged all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, so my childhood was happy. Fishing, shrimping, swimming, climbing trees and picking fruits, reading comic books at school, eating dad's books and reading Four Great Classical Novels and other classical Chinese books. My father asked me if I could understand them. I said, yes. In fact, some can understand and some can't, just want to see it anyway.
When I was a child, I had nicknames: mung bean eyes, hollow face and black people. Because I am black, thin and ugly, and I registered late, when I grew up, everyone praised me for being from Shuai Shuai, and my ears were covered with cocoons. I can look at myself in the mirror and feel ordinary, dull and numb. I always feel that if a man doesn't make a career, what's the use of being handsome or not? It doesn't matter. When I was young, I also had a nickname: get to the bottom of the casserole. I am always curious about everything. Adults make me tired of asking, for example, how tall can a person grow? Adults answer: the sky is so high. I moved a small stool and sat in front of my house. I watched the people on the road from morning till night to see if they were all about the same height. Then I went to ask, and the adults said, "Tall people don't come out at home ... I don't know whether it's precocious psychology or spiritual consciousness after I understand the marriage, funeral and the centenary deadline." Now I still remember that my heart suddenly cooled down: ah, what's the point of making achievements in this life? At that time, it was only four or five years old ... that is to say, the twenty-eighth birthday of a lunar man took up eight, eighteen and twenty-eight days of the month. I don't know where the old saying came from, but it has its own reasons.
I have a soft spot for poetry, poetry and pen and ink since I was a child, and it seems that I have an indissoluble bond. I feel sorry for the swallows who fell into the water, cry for the flowers buried by Daiyu, make noise for the bird hunters, and cry for the pursuit of green snakes ... I wrote a poem in elementary school, and Yaner fell into the water in winter and did not move south. It took many years to realize that the bird's nest might be destroyed, and the bird's nest was repeatedly built, which made her miss the shelling season. She is fledgling, winter has come, and Ivylinna Lee has not moved. Also determined to be admitted to Peking University, Tsinghua, Fudan University and Nankai University. When I was in middle school, I wrote: Why are the branches of wheat hanging? The fruits of labor come from this. Standing with Bai Yu, reading to Qingyun, etc. Now, I have become a worker who has been wandering for many years. Fortunately, I am aware that I am close to Buddhist scriptures, understand Buddhism, be knowledgeable, practice love, be compassionate and altruistic, be content and grateful, and purify my heart. Mei Zhu Lan Julian, Avenue Bodhi Zen.
At the age of four or five, I learned to be in a daze. I remember thinking at that time: since people came to this world, they have the dignity of life, and there must be an answer to explain the true meaning of life. It is impossible to live for decades, but there should be spiritual pursuit and extension ... I thought for a while, but no one taught me at that time, maybe it was Buddhist karma, or I realized incomprehensible wisdom from a few words in the book, and I immediately thought. But adults say it's not like before. I don't want you to be a young monk sweeping the floor, but I want to graduate from college ... I really believe it, so I have to give up and think I must be admitted to college.
There is an old folk saying: Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi. Poor but not three generations, rich but not three generations. There is no need to argue about the old saying. From a certain angle or a certain era, it may have its own truth and statement. Family-run dentists have not been handed down for various reasons. Relatives and neighbors said it was a pity: the cornucopia of gold and silver rice bowls was lost ... when the family had money, it grew poorer when they grew up. However, when I was a teenager, I knew I would take the initiative to find bitter food and exercise. I have worked as a loader, builder, seller of fruits and vegetables, marketer, soldier, laid-off worker, failed in running a factory, had to work and so on. Happily, my relatives and friends are getting richer and their lives are full of joy.
I am honest and quiet now, going to and from work, reading and writing, and getting close to Buddhism. Be content, donate occasionally, and keep loving. "If you are poor, you will be immune to it, and if you are rich, you will help the world." Every man is his own worst enemy. Overcome shortcomings, improve yourself, be self-disciplined, introspect and strengthen yourself, and material civilization and spiritual wealth go hand in hand. With the change of mentality, words and deeds, the positive energy magnetic field will naturally attract beautiful women, and the lotus will naturally open in the season. Reading and studying will also benefit the soul, and the nourishment and growth of quality and morality will make words and deeds sincere and simple. Heaven will nurture a grateful and awe-inspiring body and mind, and will naturally produce jade articles.
In fact, the rich and the poor are just a secular concept. Spiritual pursuit and consciousness are the direction and goal of vitality and spirituality. Fiona Fang is worthy of his heart, sticks to the correct consciousness, and pitches the avenue of heaven and earth. Breaking through and accommodating oneself, China's 5000-year gale and history books all point to the same truth: seeking happiness for others. This is the source and way of real happiness in life. The core of Daewoo is precisely: true love exists, and all good things exist. Forever and ever, as if motionless. When you think about all the laws, you are full of sorrow. You are a person, loving and grateful.

When I was a child, my family was poor and eating was a problem. If you have nothing to eat and wear, in your parents' words, your eyes are blue with sadness. Eat wild vegetables and porridge, take sweet potatoes as the staple food, boil them dry, and stick sweet potato cakes on the side of the pot. Dig wild vegetables to eat. Sweet potato bread, shredded radish buns, and sweet potato porridge. Steamed sweet potato cake, bean ball. Rub the sweet potato noodles into noodles and make a soup with vegetables.
Wear clothes, as long as they don't show meat. The boss wore it and handed it down. Changing colors every year means new clothes. If the coat is too small, hold it up; if the trousers are too short, hold it up at the hem. A year later.
If you can't eat a bite of meat in a month, drop a drop or two of oil when cooking, and then drop it into the pot when the dish is cooked. Wear new clothes, eat white flour steamed bread and stewed cabbage vermicelli with pork every Spring Festival.
Visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year uses a wicker box with a red envelope outside. It is filled with steamed bread made of white flour. Two large steamed buns were cut into pomegranate shapes with scissors, and the chain flowers were stuck in the mold. There are usually four flowers and two pomegranates, which are gifts for visiting relatives and friends.
Living conditions are also very poor. There are no electric lights, kerosene lamps and heatable adobe sleeping platform. The whole family slept in a big pit, and the two sisters covered a quilt.
Without TV, you can watch movies once a year. There are two professional projectionists in each town, pushing wooden carts and pushing projection equipment to show movies next to the village. Adults and children set up benches early, stand in good places and enjoy watching movies after dark. Everyone in ...................................................................................................................................................... laughs when they see happy things. I cried when I saw the sad place. ..............
It is true that my family was poor when I was a child, and people born in 1960 s and 1970 s feel the same way?
