"Catch up, catch up, if you can't afford the bed, your dad will beat you when he comes back~"
"Hurry up and help Xiao Ning put on her clothes. It's time to eat soon!"
A voice that had absolutely nothing to do with kindness came from the outer room. It was not that parents at that time didn't love their children.
The main reason is that there are indeed a lot of children. Each family must have at least three or four children. In addition, they are exhausted from the torment of life. How can they find the time to speak kindly to the children? If they dare to disobey, they will be combed. son.
"Well, I'll get up right now~"
The speaker was Sun Qianchao, who had traveled through time for three days. He didn't mean to stay in bed, but he really didn't want to accept the fact.
The first few times I traveled were in big cities, and they were basically well-off or above. Even Su Mingzhe, the last person, was a top student who graduated from Stanford University.
I have offended some god this time. I actually went back to the late 1960s. No matter how talented I am these days, I have nowhere to put it to use. There is no place to invest in the first place.
Even if there is a place to catch up, Sun would not dare to go there. Now there is a term called "speculation". This is no joke. It is easy to eat "peanuts" if you get involved in it.
Sun Qianchao was getting dressed while frowning. After all, this life was too hard. In the memory of the "original body", at least the Sun family had not eaten meat for more than two months.
Now the whole family relies on Sun's father's salary alone. The last time they ate meat was when they made some meat dumplings during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they also had to add sauerkraut or cabbage.
Because the family doesn’t have enough food to eat. As the saying goes, a grown man will eat me to death. If the two brothers open their mouths and eat, a hundred dumplings won’t be able to stop them.
Thinking of this, Sun Qianchao felt a little melancholy for a while. He had to think of ways to improve the situation at home. He got dressed and got off the kang, put on his big cotton shoes, and went directly to the big house where his parents lived.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning, if you don't get up, the second brother will eat all the food-"
When Sun Qianchao saw his sister sleeping on the kang, he liked it more and more. At the same time, he secretly vowed that he would not let her live as miserable as in the play.
"Second brother, stop teasing me, I'm no longer a three-year-old kid~"
Although Sun Xiaoning woke up, she was still wrapped tightly in the quilt, with only her little head exposed. Although it was just winter, it was still a little cold.
Sun Qianchao leaned over and pinched his sister's little nose, and coaxed gently: "Oh, our Xiao Ning is indeed not a three-year-old child anymore~"
"Now that he is five years old, he cannot stay in bed~"
In fact, the "original body" is not so good-tempered. The Northeastern people of this era are a bit chauvinistic. They usually just yell and scream at their younger sister.
"Second brother, I'm telling you quietly, don't tell your parents~" Sun Xiaoning said with some fear as she wrapped herself in the quilt.
When Sun Qianchao saw his sister like this, he knew without her having to say that it was definitely the little girl who peed on the bed:
"Did you dream about going to the toilet again last night, and you couldn't help it?"
"Hmm~" Sun Xiaoning nodded shyly.
"Then you have to get up quickly. Second brother will help you secretly put the mattress on the kang in the back room. It will probably be done in a while, so mom won't know~" Sun Ganchao said in a low voice.
After saying that, he went to the cabinet at the edge of the kang to find some dry spring pants for his sister and handed them over.
"Thank you, second brother~" After Sun Xiaoning said this, he didn't need his brother's help and put on his clothes by himself.
In fact, there was something strange in her little head. She didn't know why her second brother had changed so much. If she had peed on the bed by herself before, she would have called her mother over immediately.
Here, Sun Qianchao spread his sister's wet mattress and spring pants on the hot kang in the back room. After all, the hard-working mother still felt sorry for her child and had already helped burn the kang after getting up in the morning.
After that, I was not idle. I folded all the quilts in the big house and set up the kang table. This was the dining table where the family would have dinner. Then I went to the outhouse to bring in the dishes and chopsticks.
After everything was done, Sun Qianchao leaned on the kang, holding his sister Sun Xiaoning in his arms, and slowly fell into memories.
Now the Sun family has a total of two and a half houses. The layout is such that as soon as you enter the door, there is an outhouse, which is the kitchen and utility room, with water tanks, bowl racks, etc.
Walking inside is the outhouse, which can also be called the big house. This is the residence of the grandson's father, grandma, mother, 20-year-old sister Sun Xiaoli, and four-year-old sister Sun Xiaoning.
As for the smaller back room, Sun Qianchao himself and his 22-year-old brother Sun Qianwei live there. Although it is inconspicuous, the overall living standard of the two and a half rooms in the Sun family is at the upper level of the photon film.
Because some families may have bigger houses than the Sun family, but they also have a larger population. More than a dozen people from three generations of grandparents are crowded into a three-room house, which is quite common.
At the end of 1968, in the northern Jiangliao Province, Jichun City, the capital of the province, was the economic and cultural center of the province and was famous throughout the country for its No. 1 Automobile Manufacturing Plant. However, every city had its pockets of poverty.
Jichun City is no exception. Due to famine and war, a large number of refugees came from Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi.
They also settled in a lower area here. Since they are all poor farmers, most of them have no money to build fancy houses, except of course the Zhou family.
Zhou Zhigang was bolder and luckier. He wanted to build a big house and bring his parents back home in Shandong, so he took out a loan shark. Unexpectedly, after liberation, loan sharks were suppressed and he didn't have to pay back.
Except for the Zhou family, many people do not plan to put down roots for a long time. They still want to return to their hometown one day, so they use local materials, dig out the soil and build mud houses with mud walls and thatched roofs, because they only want to live temporarily. , many of them didn’t even lay the foundation.
Later, it experienced the Japanese occupation, the Soviet Red Army sent troops to the Northeast and the Anti-Japanese Forces took over. It was not until the founding of New China that it officially became a new administrative district, Gongle District, Jichun City.
Later, the narrow dirt roads in this adobe house community finally got street names, and they were all very sunny and traditional names. Guangren Street, Guangyi Street, Guangli Street, Guangzhi Street, and Guangxin Street. These five blocks were It forms a light letter piece.
Because this place is famously poor in the city, and most of them are at the bottom of society, most of them have little education, so there is a popular proverb, "Do not marry a good man on Taoyuan Road, and do not marry a good woman with a bare face."
The reason for the optical film is well known. As for Taoyuan Road, it is because before liberation, it was one of the "eight major alleys" in Jichun City. Many prostitutes took root there and gave birth to girls, so it was recommended that good men not marry women there.
"Catch up, don't sit there dumbfounded, hurry up and serve the food, your dad and your brother are back~"
It was that familiar voice that interrupted Sun Qunchao's memories.
"Here we come~" After saying that, he put his sister on the kang, put on his shoes and walked to the outhouse.
Sun Qianchao doesn't need to look at it to know that today's cuisine is either sauerkraut or cabbage. In fact, it would be delicious if some meat is added.
The key is to think about something beautiful. There is no meat. Basically, some potato chips and vermicelli are added. Moreover, everyone is not rich, and they rarely use oil for cooking.
There is no peanut oil or soybean oil at all, and even if there is, ordinary people like the Sun family cannot afford to eat it all year round. Most of the food they eat is meat oil, which is the source of fat.
After the food was served on the table, I heard my mother washing pots in the outer room shouting:
"Catch up, go out and help~"
