Like all the naive children in the village, I look forward to the Chinese New Year every day. My parents have been living on corn, sorghum and tomatoes, and only in the New Year can they eat delicious food, so they are lucky to be "Kaiyang meat", but adults are afraid of the New Year.
Overlooking Chun Lv, overlooking Xiahe River, looking through autumn water and melting winter snow. The annual Spring Festival comes like a shy girl. Every household is busy killing chickens and geese.
"My family has a chicken bite on New Year's Eve!" Mao Mao, a neighbor, drooled as he spoke.
"I have fish and meat to fill the mouth of the greedy cat." Right-handed people talk with saliva in winter and winter.
"My dad bought a big white goose ..." I'm not willing to be outdone and compete with my partners.
The next day, people were immersed in the joy of the festival, and the children made a fuss and couldn't wait to "import" delicious food.
You can't eat "machine" when you are born at the wrong time. The notice out of tune with the festival came from the tweeter:
"All members, men, women and children, immediately went to the production brigade to have a meal of' recalling the bitter experience'."
My mouth mumbled like a pig, and I followed the adults reluctantly and helplessly, only to see several barrels of rice bran leaves mixed with mushy liquid pig food. I don't know who played a song, and everyone immediately threw themselves into emotion and sang "The stars are all over the sky, the production team has a meeting to complain, and the poor people in the old society hate blood and tears ...".
After singing, the captain ordered everyone to hold a bowl ... I took a bite and poured out the "overnight meal" My mother was very distressed and secretly took me home. When the captain found out, he immediately stopped him. A great man quoted a lesson: "Forgetting the past means betraying …" At that time, my dad owed us an apology, otherwise he would be "online" and might become a descendant of "traitors, spies and thieves" and parade in the streets wearing a high hat.
Long years, long years, the past is gone forever. Now I may have fulfilled my grandfather's words. I rose from the predicament and became an excellent gardener. But when my eight-year-old son usually eats, when he is picky about rich dishes, I can't help but say: worthless child!
Then I had an idea. Should I tell my son this old story? Does it make sense? Is it necessary? Can he accept the traditional education with such a generation gap? What did you say?/Sorry?
I remember that in the sixties and seventies of last century, the village often engaged in recalling bitter thoughts and sweetness. As the name implies, it is to recall the bitterness of the old society and miss the sweetness of the new society. At that time, the brigade also recalled bitter experience, the production team also recalled bitter experience, and the school also recalled bitter experience. Because every time I think of bitterness and sweetness, I cry. At first, I understood remembering bitterness and sweetness as "remembering crying and thinking of sweetness". Later, as I grew older, I corrected it. After reading so many memories, what I feel most is the memory of being in the second production team when I was a child.
At that time, it was almost a model to remember the bitter experience from top to bottom, that is, to hold a meeting to remember the bitter experience. Although the production team sparrows are small and complete, they also follow the mode of commune and brigade, but because the production team has to participate in production labor during the day, most of them are held in the three offices of the village hutong production team until dinner. There were dozens of people in the two meetings I attended, most of whom were women members. This is probably because women love to cry and cry, followed by male members, mostly production captains, vice captains, poor peasant captains, accountants, warehouse keepers, militia platoon leaders, clerks and so on. There are also several members who are usually active, and then there are children who follow adults like me.
Even the meeting in the production team was grand, which may be decided by the situation at that time. First of all, I asked the old poor peasants to talk about "family history" and the bitter days of the old society. When I was a child, I asked Jing, the leader of the poor peasant, and Joe, the old poor peasant, to talk about their family history. Their parents are both long-term laborers of the landlords, who have been brutally exploited and oppressed by them. However, at the meeting to recall their painful experiences, their expressions are different. As soon as the poor peasant leader came up, he burst into tears, crying and talking about the unfortunate experiences of the old society. The members were very painful at first, but with the deepening of the plot, they became disgusted with the evil old society. Listening again, I felt sad, and I cried along with it, as if I cried according to actual needs. In fact, I couldn't restrain my inner pain and cried involuntarily. The old poor peasant began to speak a few words, but he couldn't. When he knew that he was crying, the female members couldn't stand it, and they cried, and the male members also wiped their tears. Only the puzzled children looked straight and waited for a while.
After the old poor peasants had finished their bitter days, they began to sing the most classic sweet song "Don't forget the class bitterness": "The stars are all over the sky, the crescent moon shines, and the production team meets to complain and avenge. In the evil old society, the blood and tears of the poor flooded into my heart ... "At that time, my friends and I sometimes sang this song in the room and sometimes in the patio. Most of them are sung by women, and the more they sing, the more emotional they become. Finally, they cried and cried, really like crying. Now every time I recall the scene at that time, I feel that people at that time were really emotional, sang really hard, and showed their true feelings without affectation. They sang the bitterness in the hearts of all adults and children, and after singing sweet songs, their feelings were triggered by sad songs. They couldn't help crying for a while, and some cried until the tears of some female members still lingered in their eyes for a long time.
Singing and crying, the production team leader and the female team leader led us to eat a "bitter meal". I remember that I only had a bitter meal with my mother once, and I don't want to eat any more. At that time, the bitter rice was cooked by the female captain with several older female players, probably around the goal of bad taste, probably wild vegetables, corn flour, sweet potato noodles and the like mixed together, without oil and salt, it was dry to eat, difficult to swallow and terrible to eat. Now that I think about it, eating a "bitter meal" should be like this, and it should be terrible. Eating a bitter meal is not for anything else, but for education. Eat such a meal, think about how the old society came in the past, and look at the present. Even if you live a happy and beautiful new life, you can't forget your roots. Today, I always remember the experience of eating "recalling bitter thoughts and sweet rice" in the production team of Datong, and I will never forget it, which has become a valuable spiritual wealth in my life.
Nowadays, young people don't know how to remember those bitter foods, let alone the sufferings of the old society, so they can't feel the sweetness of the new society. Facing the severe international and domestic situation, similar education is imperative. Only by using national education can we cope with the increasingly complicated international and domestic situation, even the war. Remembering the painful experience and comparing the old with the new is to make people not forget the past, face up to the present and face the future. It is necessary to have feelings of home and country, love between people and realize the dream of * * *. Do not forget your initiative mind, roll up your sleeves and work hard to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
Eating a bitter meal is a special experience in the past, which has left a deep impression on the history of social development, unforgettable and worth remembering!
