An earth stove is built. The stove is connected to the earthen kang, and the kang is burned in the picture for warmth in winter. Therefore, at that time, kang masters were particularly in demand. When a new house was built, a kang was required, and when the old kang collapsed after being slept on for a long time, a kang was required. Who could afford bricks at that time? Some bricks are used in key places, and the main building materials are mixed with mud, and the adobe is made with molds. Rows of neat and smooth adobes were lying on the ground. Taking advantage of the nice weather to dry, they were picked up and placed in piles under the wall for later use. Adobe is heavy and will crumble if moved while wet. Life was difficult, and the children of poor people were already in charge. We helped make and carry adobe bricks at a young age. It seemed that we were very happy and worked hard at that time.

The production team is a large collective, and the captain is still very authoritative. He rings the bell under the big locust tree every day to call people to work, assign tasks and so on. At that time, people used their own fertilizer to farm the fields, caught bugs on the crops manually, used sickles to cut wheat, and used animal carts to pull grain and fertilizer. People would be surprised when they saw a walking tractor. The children all ran behind the tractor and said the smell of gasoline was so good.

At that time, there were many livestock in the yard of the production team. They swung their tails to drive away the buzzing flies and ate hay slowly. There was a strong smell of livestock manure in the yard. The keepers take good care of these animals and feed them bean cakes. Bean cakes are so delicious that when children who don’t have much snacks go to see the livestock, they are often given a few bean cakes by the breeders as gifts. A piece of hard and fragrant bean cake is enough to grind our teeth for a long time.

Later, the household responsibility system was implemented and I started to work alone. As if with a wave of a magic wand in the hand of a little fairy, my food soon improved. The days of being the boss of cornmeal pancakes gradually faded away, and I could no longer bear to eat white-flour steamed buns on ordinary days. . There is also meat, eggs, and milk, and the market supply is gradually sufficient. Daily necessities such as clothing, shoes, and socks can be purchased without food stamps.

The college entrance examination was resumed in 1979, and my parents, who had been working in the farm for ten years, were admitted to a public hospital through unremitting efforts and jumped out of the farm. They said goodbye to the years when they faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, and also raised their children. Their household registrations were all taken away.

In the blink of an eye, another 20 years have passed. These are 20 years of rapid development. Our family has rebuilt three houses. They are all brick houses, bright, transparent, tall and spacious. The suspended ceiling is equipped with a light pool, the walls are painted with imitation porcelain, the floor is paved with ceramic tiles, and the home is equipped with heating. The earthen kang has been dismantled a long time ago, and liquefied gas is used for cooking. What you eat is chicken, duck and fish, and what you wear is silk and satin. According to my mother, you are living like a landlord now!

Not only our family, but also the entire village has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many families have renovated brick houses with red bricks to the top, and some have installed integral kitchens just like those in the city. In addition to farming, he also engaged in side business and went out to work, which made him rich. There were almost no adobe houses left in the village. The streets that used to be muddy when it rained are now hardened. The village is building a new socialist countryside, and posters promoting respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and eliminating pornography, gambling, and drugs are painted on walls everywhere. The village's sanitation is also very good, which is refreshing everywhere.

Now that agricultural mechanization is gradually advancing, people are less tired from farming. Harvesting wheat and harvesting autumn, the most tiring days in the past are now very relaxed. People have more time to do other things.

With the acceleration of urbanization, many villagers have moved to the city to buy buildings. In winter, they live in a house with floor heating and a thin quilt, and they can survive the harsh winter, and their happiness index is high. Rise!

Since the implementation of the New Rural Cooperative Medical System, people are no longer afraid of serious illness, and the incidence of poverty due to illness has gradually decreased. There are free physical examinations every year, especially the elderly are very enthusiastic. Life is so good and they want to live for two more years.

Our family has also bought a commercial house. Every time we have a family dinner, my father faces a table of chicken, duck and fish. One thing he often says is: When I lived in a small dilapidated house, I never dreamed of it. I thought it would be today! Thank you Communist Party, thank Deng Xiaoping!

In forty years, with the flick of a finger, the sun and the moon have taken on a new look.

In forty years, we will definitely have changes beyond imagination. I look forward to it...

Part 2

The country aunt called , her words were full of joy. She said that she had moved, moved into a building, and the whole village had moved. She also used natural gas for cooking like city people. In winter, there was floor heating in the house, which made me smoke. It's time to go home and take a look.

To be honest, I haven’t returned to my hometown for a long time. It’s not that I don’t love my hometown, it’s just that the poverty and backwardness of my hometown have left a deep mark on me. In my mind, my hometown Just muddy dirt roads, raised dust and garbage with flies flying everywhere.

More than ten years ago, I went back to my hometown of Mi Town to attend my cousin’s wedding. That wedding shocked me. To get married in the countryside, you have to find someone to check the date and find an auspicious day. My aunt found one who is said to be very accurate. Taoist priest, he chose June 19th, a good day, Mr. Guan’s birthday. I didn’t expect that it would rain heavily from 5 o’clock in the morning, and the rain would not stop all day long, but it would be a hardship for us, the wedding team, Auntie. My home is Dongjiahe, a small village next to the Majia River. There is a dirt road of more than ten miles to the village. The cars welcoming the bride were miserable and most of them got stuck in the quagmire. As a last resort, I hired a tractor from the village to pull out the quagmire one by one. The dowry car was The dowry was soaked to the skin, and what was even worse was that the bride was drowned. The scene was extremely embarrassing.

With that unforgettable memory, I seldom went back to my hometown in the future. It was not until I answered the call from my aunt that I suddenly remembered that I had not returned to my hometown for 10 years.

My old mother was also eager to go home, so she shouted to go back the next day, but she couldn't resist her. I took leave of absence and drove the whole family to my aunt's house. On the way, my mother kept talking, saying that she had been away from home for a few days. I've been here for 20 years, but I just can't keep up with the comfort of home in the city. I know that my mother's hometown is an unforgettable hometown.

After five hours, I finally arrived at my hometown, but everything in front of me made me feel like I was on the wrong track. How could this be my aunt’s home?

When I came to Jixiang Community in Mi Town, where my aunt said she lived, I saw a wide and flat road with rows of buildings on both sides. Cars came and went, and there was a constant flow of people. The newly built Jixiang Community was lined with buildings and squares. , green spaces, street lights and other infrastructure are readily available, and people’s faces are filled with happy smiles.

The gate of Jixiang Community faces west, and the most eye-catching thing is the Jixiang Community Archway. It has three gates and four pillars, and there are eight elephants under the pillars. On the west side, the four characters in the middle are "Jixiang Mi Town", and the couplet is "Pingchang's old county for thousands of years, Guangjue Tianxia, ??thousands of families' peaceful new home, Fuze World". , in the middle of the east side is "Mi Town Auspiciousness", the upper line is "Zhuangzai, Mu Party's grace gathers the people's hearts, this is now an auspicious city", and the second line is "Mei Xi Chuan Han Lu Xing Tang Yun Si Di was originally Milu Town".

While I was surprised, my aunt and uncle came running all the way. My aunt was very excited. As she ran, she told the neighbor that my nephew from the city came to see me!

My uncle asked me to drive the car directly to the garage downstairs, and then the family happily led us into her new home.

My aunt’s home is a large 120-square-meter house on the second floor. There is a large living room at the entrance, facing a unique video wall. The windows in the room are bright and clean, and there are air conditioners, TVs, sofas, and water dispensers. There are flowers hanging on the walls, silk flowers in vases on the table, and a huge fish tank in which several goldfish swim freely.

When you walk into the kitchen, it is no less impressive than the overall kitchens of people in the city. The walls are white tiles, the countertops are black marble, and the range hood and gas stove are fully equipped. In the kitchen, a fluorescent lamp serves as a ceiling light, and the prepared meals are placed in a glass cover, which is kept spotless. Aunt: "In the past, when firewood was burned for cooking in the village, every house would smoke, and I would choke on the meal and cry. But now it is better, and natural gas is used for cooking."

My lover was full of praise and laughed. Then he said to his aunt, "Aunt, we are not leaving. Can we stay here for a few days?" Auntie smiled, niece-in-law, look at the three bedrooms and one living room here, let alone a few days, you can live for half a year!

My aunt chatted with my lover and mother, and my uncle took me out for a walk.

Entering the community, the most eye-catching thing is the central square and central park covering an area of ??8.3 acres.

Squares and parks are arranged from east to west, with flowers, grass, trees, water, and pavilions. They are places for people to entertain, relax, and exercise.

Walking in the wide square, the surrounding flowers decorate the square particularly beautifully. The 24-square-meter electronic screen plays the song "Morning Light" by Yun Shuixin, letting you step into a fairyland. Generally; in Xinbu Park, the beautiful lotus flowers in the pond are awakened by the breeze and show you a pink smile. The leaves of the willows by the pond flutter in the wind, like the long hair of beautiful girls, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Today is the weekend, and the children have all come out from home to play. Some are skating on scooters, some are riding for fun, some are flying flash balls, and some are playing badminton. The square was filled with the cheerful noise of children. Slowly, the dusk became blurred, and the lights in the square became brighter. The lights on the grass, the lights on the trees, and the lights on the pillars made the whole square become a sea of ??lights. The square at night is like a soaring phoenix, illuminating thousands of households.

My aunt called and said that dinner was ready. I realized that I had been wandering around the community with my uncle for two hours before I knew it. When I walked to the corridor, I took a look at the electric tricycle that had just been placed. , I said push it into the garage. My uncle shook his hand and said no. Look, following my uncle’s hand, I saw surveillance cameras one by one on the wall in front of the building. My uncle said that electronic eyes are installed in the front and back of the building. It's okay to sleep with the door open, it's safe!

In just a few years, every household was frightened at night. Theft was common at that time. Either the owner’s sheep were taken away in broad daylight, or a hole was dug into someone’s house at night. Regarding the big scalper being taken away...

My uncle saw my doubts and said that it was all because of the old calendar. In the past, people were poor, and the poorer they were, the more thieves they attracted. Now that people's lives are better, those thieves and thieves There is no market for our bad habits. Now we have all transferred our land and are working in an industrial park not far from the community. We earn an income of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. Our lives are really blooming!

Part 3

"Sister Kang, hurry up and go, we are going to the market."

"Okay." I packed my things, I put my bag on my back and hurried downstairs with Mengmeng.

There is a small market not far to the north of the unit. It is the Liming Textile Market. Every afternoon, vendors will come as scheduled. So, every now and then, my friends would go to a big market with their friends to buy some fresh fruits, vegetables and daily necessities. There, it seems that it has become a food basket for everyone's happiness. But I, in my heart, disdain this. How much charm and energy can a small corner market have? But she couldn't stand the pestering of her little ally, so she had to agree to accompany her for a walk, just in time to find out its "true face of Mount Lu".

After passing the traffic light, it takes two or three minutes to drive there. After turning the intersection, the large market in the distance came into view. Summer is coming quietly, and the sun at five o'clock in the afternoon is still shining brightly on the earth and on people's happy and peaceful faces. The sky is blue and blue, as clean as if it had been washed with water. A few white clouds are floating leisurely. The broad road is lined with green trees like clouds. Under the green shade are full of chopping boards selling various goods. From east to west, you can't see at a glance. The end. Grandpas and aunts leisurely walked around swinging cattail leaf fans, obviously looking for treasures while strolling; grandparents led the grandchildren who had just finished school, and the children shuttled among the crowd, looking for things they liked: "Grandma, I "I want ice cream." "Grandpa, buy a big watermelon." The young man in work uniform showed off his big motorcycle and asked for half a catty of "sauce beef" while the handsome girl and daughter-in-law were picking out their favorite goods. , while exchanging tips on dressing up and making up... The vendors enthusiastically entertained customers, bargaining, chatting and laughing one after another, as hot as a pot of boiling water...

My heart can't help but be shocked by this wonderful market. I feel really emotional when I think about it. This is a development zone. Except for several schools on this street south of the intersection, it is surrounded by factories. A few years ago, there were many chimneys here, the air was turbid, and there would be smog every now and then. Nowadays, the city's environmental protection efforts have been remarkable, and the chimneys that emitted black smoke have long since disappeared. Factories must meet hard targets for environmental protection, otherwise they will be ordered to stop work. Slowly, the sky turned blue, the water became clear, the air became fresh, people took off their masks, and their smiles appeared. No, the lively market was also here!

The goods on the market are so dazzling that our eyes can hardly see them. Look here, eggplants, beans, kidney beans, cucumbers, olives and tomatoes; look over there, lychees, grapes, watermelons, cantaloupes, cantaloupes, peaches, green and tender. , the dazzling red, the clear yellow, the colorful colors tempt your eyes.

Our taste buds were also attacked like never before, with fried chicken skewers, roast duck and roasted egg tarts, chopped green onion pancakes, soy sauce pancakes, five-spice pancakes, fried dough sticks, fried sugar pancakes, fried twists, and all kinds of snacks and snacks. Biscuits, candies, peach cakes... A string of scents with an alluring luster penetrates directly into the nostrils, arousing the gluttons in the belly to grunt! Blue sky and green trees, sunshine and breeze, colorful clothes, colorful fruits and vegetables, pleasant pace, bright faces, fragrant air...my heart will melt in this flowing, colorful market Here...

"I bought a piece of pumpkin yesterday. It's so sweet. Let's buy a whole one today." Mengmeng said as she pulled the deeply intoxicated girl. I walked through the crowd and went straight to the pumpkin stall. We picked out the pumpkins and handed them to the uncle who sold them. The uncle weighed them for us skillfully. We turned on our phones. When the uncle saw it, he quickly brought out a small card with a QR code printed on it and said, "Scan WeChat." We laughed. Now The uncles and aunties who sell vegetables also use QR codes to collect payments. I said: "Uncle, you are very fashionable. You can also use WeChat to collect money." The uncle smiled: "You must keep up with the new era, otherwise you will fall behind."

After scanning WeChat, by the way I glanced at my friend group and saw that a friend had a house and a retail store. His unit had been moved here, and he wanted to buy a small apartment here for his children to go to school. I whispered to Mengmeng: "The two-bedroom apartment Xia wants to buy is 66 square meters." Before Mengmeng could talk to her, the uncle said: "66 square meters is too small. It is okay for the elderly to live in, but the young people can live with three people and the children cannot play. Come on, you have to get a big room, more than 120 square meters." We all laughed, what the uncle said was true. The uncle then said: "This year when my shanty town is renovated, I can get two large houses of 120 square meters." "Wow, uncle, you are a nouveau riche!" We all gave him a thumbs up, and the uncle smiled proudly. .

After buying pumpkins, we continued shopping. "Xiaokang, you're here to go to the market too." My junior high school classmate who is now a high school teacher walked towards me. He was smiling and holding a little baby in his arms! I said in surprise: "Oh, is this your second son? He's grown so big!" My classmate smiled broadly: "Yes." After the two-child policy was relaxed, those of us born in the 1970s finally caught up with each other. On the last train, one after another got married to the second child and became a nanny again. At this time, the little guy pointed to the kebab opposite, and the classmate quickly walked over with the child in his arms. How happy I am, looking at these children in the big market, led by their grandparents, held by their parents, neatly dressed and gorgeous, and adults will pay for anything they want without hesitation.

I couldn’t help but think of the scene when I went to the market with my parents when I was a child. When I was a child, my father loved taking me to the market, not so much so that I could see the bustling scene, but because I could help him look after his car and save 20 cents on the fare! Think about that era when supplies were not abundant. We were not afraid of our children being stolen or our cars being stolen. Children were not as valuable as cars! Every time we arrived at the market, my father put the car away and told me to stand beside the car and not go anywhere. Then he hurriedly got into the crowd and disappeared. I guarded my family's "big golden deer" and was bored, looking at the dust on the street and the crowds that were not dense, chasing my father's figure, eagerly looking forward to his coming back soon, and it felt like time passed so long! I finally looked forward to my father's return, but the shopping bag in my hand didn't bulge much. It was filled with necessities for the family. The popsicle or meat buns I was looking forward to always came to nothing. Children from poor families become sensible early. As a young child, I never cried or fussed with my father because of this. I would just go home with my father obediently. In my memory, my father only bought me popsicles once. On the way home, I sat on the beam of my "Big Golden Deer". My father rode very fast, blowing up the cool breeze, and I sucked the cool and sweet popsicles beautifully. I would give the popsicle to my father to suck on from time to time. I felt extremely happy inside, and even the big sun no longer felt hot! Think about it, this is the most delicious and unforgettable popsicle I have ever tasted.

When I go to the market with my mother, the situation seems to be better, because my mother will ask me next to the colorful candy stalls or in front of the steaming and fragrant meat bun shop: "Nier, do you want to eat?" I looked longingly at those tempting delicacies, secretly swallowing my saliva, but shaking my head like a rattle, saying that I would not let my mother buy it, because subconsciously I felt that buying those things was a waste of money, and I was not living! In fact, deep down in my heart I long to eat them!

There was only one thing that my mother decided to buy for me without asking me to go through it. That was to pull a nice piece of cloth for me in the supply and marketing cooperative, the tallest building in the market. When I got home, my mother got busy with it. Get up and make new clothes for me. The sewing machine at home clicked and sang a happy song, and within a few days, new clothes appeared on my body. My mother was clever and handy, and she knew fashionable new styles at a few glances. The workmanship was meticulous and exquisite, and the styles were novel, so my new clothes were always beautiful. I feel very happy to be able to attract the envious looks of my friends!

"What's wrong, Sister Kang? I can't pull my legs out! Let's go quickly. We have to go home after shopping." Mengmeng's joking brought me back from my memories, and then I remembered Mengmeng. The child’s grandfather bought a big bag of chicken wings for his grandson. When he got home, Mengmeng had to video chat with his sister on his cell phone and learn how to make Coke chicken wings!

We had enough selection and reluctantly embarked on the way home. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us as we drove on the wide and flat boulevard. I was moved and touched. Markets like this should be common in our vast motherland. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, I have personally felt that people's living standards have improved, their money bags are bulging, their food baskets are diversified, their home environment has improved, and their mental outlook has also taken on a new look. Happiness is written on their faces and melted into laughter. It melts in my heart...

I will never forget this lively and peaceful market, this bustling colorful flow, I will come again next time...

Part 4

"The green hills are here, and people are not old. I wish you a happy motherland..." Recently, the author was at home during the weekends, watching CCTV Spring Festival Gala program highlights. The melody of "Unforgettable Tonight" was sung again, not only echoing in the room, but also stirring in the heart. Once again, I couldn’t help but recall the scene of watching the Spring Festival Gala in previous years. It was vivid in my mind and full of emotions. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, there have been decades of wind, frost, rain and snow, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, with mixed flavors.

The first time I watched the Spring Festival Gala was 34 years ago. It was the 1984 Spring Festival Gala - although it was the second CCTV gala, it was 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; songs with melodious melodies and popular songs such as "Young Friends Come to Meet" and "On the Field of Hope" were already popular, and spiritual life was becoming increasingly enriched. However, unlike now Still incomparable.

At that time, I was a junior at Laiyang Agricultural College, nearly a thousand miles away from my hometown. As the winter vacation approached, I thought twice and decided to "imitate" the practices of "poor students" in previous years and stay in "nursing school" with two classmates from Heze and Weifang. At that time, we lived in a bungalow and brought our own bedding. Unlike student apartments today, which have all the facilities. The so-called "nursing school" is to gather students' beddings, textbooks and other living and learning supplies into a large house. They are cared for by students who stay in school. The three of us are responsible for taking care of the belongings of 60 students from the two classes of 81 in the Department of Animal Husbandry and Medicine. They are all concentrated in the east hall classroom on the second floor of the comprehensive building opposite the south gate of the school. Objects are neatly placed on desks lined up on the east and west sides, with a row of windows on the south side offering a panoramic view of the campus scenery. On the east podium of the north wall gate, there was a black and white TV set, the only one in the department at that time. In this way, on the one hand, you can save more than 20 yuan in round-trip travel expenses, and on the other hand, you can get "nursing school fees" of 1 yuan per day, totaling more than 20 yuan. The two add up to nearly 50 yuan, which is great for a family of 7 in remote rural areas. It definitely helps a lot! At that time, I went to school for free. Based on my family situation and the opinions of teachers and students, I enjoyed a maximum monthly living allowance of 14.50 yuan, which basically guaranteed that I would have enough to eat. In view of this, the melancholy of not being able to reunite with loved ones for the holidays gradually faded away, and what happened next was even more heartwarming. That year, the 30th day of the Lunar New Year was February 1, 1984. In the evening, the leaders of the security department of the hospital held a "banquet" in the main room to express condolences to the nursing school students. After the meal, they worked with everyone to make dumplings for the next morning's dinner. After that, we went to the fountain rockery in front of the complex building and set off fireworks and firecrackers with the teachers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Back in the Dahetang classroom, the Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live on TV.

Although the stage is not as colorful as it is now, the jubilant fountains, blooming lotus flowers, leaping carp and various constantly changing programs are absolutely breathtaking for those of us who have never watched TV programs several times! Zhao Zhongxiang, Lu Jing, Huang Ayuan, Jiang Kun, Jiang Lili and others co-hosted the event. Ma Ji's humorous stand-up comedy "Universe Brand Cigarettes", Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's vivid sketch "Eating Noodles", and Jiang Kun and Li Wenhua's upright cross talk "Praising Hometown" won applause from the whole house. Yin Xiumei's well-written "Where is Happiness", Shen Xiaocen's sweet and melodious "Come to the Ends of the World", Zhu Mingying's passionate "Ocean, My Hometown", Yu Shuzhen's melodious and comfortable "Our Life is Full of Sunshine", Jiang Dawei's The passionate "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom" is still familiar and extremely intimate. That year also became the first to invite Hong Kong singers to participate in the Spring Festival Gala: Xi Xiulan's "Girls from Alishan" and "My Motherland", Zhang Mingmin's "Walking on the Ridge", "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and "Country Road", all made people feel the spring breeze. . Zhang Mingmin's soulful rendition of "My Chinese Heart" became even more popular and quickly spread throughout the country. It is worth mentioning that the theme song "Unforgettable Tonight" sung by Li Guyi was a blockbuster and unforgettable, and has almost become a must-sing at the end of all subsequent Spring Festival Galas. Accompanied by singing and laughter, we ushered in the first year of the Sixty Years - the Year of the Rat.

After that, watching the Spring Festival Gala every year became my concern. Small things that seem easy now were difficult to achieve at the time. I spent the Spring Festival of 1985 in my hometown. At that time, high-voltage electricity had just been connected to the village. People are very strange, it feels like a door suddenly opens in a dark room, and bright sunlight pours in. I heard from my parents that before her dying grandmother went to bed, she would always point to the lamp and tell her, "Blow it out quickly to save some oil" (she used to rely on kerosene lamps for lighting). For fear of affecting the final exam, my family did not send a telegram to tell me when my grandmother passed away, which left me with great regret! This year there was not even a television set in the village, so naturally there was no opportunity for the Spring Festival Gala; even if there was one, it would not be possible to watch it under those circumstances.

In the spring of 1987, when I graduated and returned to my hometown to work in Lingxian Vocational High School for nearly two years, I was the first of the "six brothers" who joined the school to work at the same time to get married. The young teacher whose voice still lingers has become the object of praise from many people. What is even more enviable is that the father-in-law gave his daughter an 18-inch "Peony" brand color TV! There was no television in my hometown at that time, so starting from the Spring Festival in 1988, I would use my "Baishan" brand 28 bicycle every year near the Spring Festival, carrying the television fixed with a cutting board on the bottom, and wobbling with my wife. Traveled more than 20 miles to return to my hometown for the New Year. The whole family crowded into the "four-corner hard (the walls are made of adobe and bricks are laid around the four corners)" tile-roofed house, which was relatively "fashionable" at the time, to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Starting from the Spring Festival of 1989, my daughter also joined the ranks. It was not until the Spring Festival of 1992 that my hometown bought a TV. However, at that time, my father had passed away and my eldest sister had gotten married. Those who watched the Spring Festival Gala were no longer the "whole family" in the past...

Before the Spring Festival in 2014, my hometown moved into the village and adjacent areas. A new community built after the complete demolition of 5 villages. The two-story villas with an area of ??more than 150 square meters are lined up row after row, truly realizing the dream of generations of people to have "lights and phones upstairs and downstairs". During the Spring Festival, red lights are hung outdoors, Spring couplets fill the door, the indoors are as warm as spring, and the Spring Festival Gala is in full swing...

Watching the Spring Festival Gala this year, the 107cm high-definition LCD color TV is particularly powerful, and the Spring Festival Gala program is even more impressive Rich, colorful and beautiful, it can be said that: a new era, a new journey, and new works are pleasing to the eye; large scenes, generous works, and broad vision are soul-stirring; ideological, artistic, and ornamental, all in perfect harmony. The five places are linked and the whole world is celebrating, showing 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, there is an earthen stove. The stove is connected to the earthen kang, and the kang is burned in the picture for warmth in winter. So at that time, kang masters were particularly in demand. They had to make kangs when building a new house, and they also had to make kangs when the old ones collapsed after being slept on for a long time. Who could afford bricks at that time? Some bricks are used in key places, and the main building materials are mixed with mud, and the adobe is made with molds. Rows of neat and smooth adobes were lying on the ground. They were picked up to dry in the sun when the weather was nice, and stacked in piles under the wall for later use. Adobe is heavy and will crumble if moved while wet. Life was difficult, and the children of poor people were already in charge. We helped make and carry adobe bricks at a young age. It seemed that we were very happy and worked hard at that time.

The production team is a large collective, and the captain is still very authoritative. He rings the bell under the big locust tree every day to call people to work, assign tasks and so on.

At that time, people used their own fertilizer to farm the fields, caught bugs on the crops manually, used sickles to cut wheat, and used animal carts to pull grain and fertilizer. People would be surprised when they saw a walking tractor. The children all ran behind the tractor and said the smell of gasoline was so good.

At that time, there were many livestock in the yard of the production team. They swung their tails to drive away the buzzing flies and ate hay slowly. There was a strong smell of livestock manure in the yard. The keepers take good care of these animals and feed them bean cakes. Bean cakes are so delicious that when children who don’t have much snacks go to see the livestock, they are often given a few bean cakes by the breeders as gifts. A piece of hard and fragrant bean cake is enough to grind our teeth for a long time.

Later, the household responsibility system was implemented and I started to work alone. As if with a wave of a magic wand in the hand of a little fairy, my food soon improved. The days of being the boss of cornmeal pancakes gradually faded away, and I could no longer bear to eat white-flour steamed buns on ordinary days. . There is also meat, eggs, and milk, and the market supply is gradually sufficient. Daily necessities such as clothing, shoes, and socks can be purchased without food stamps.

The college entrance examination was resumed in 1979, and my parents, who had been working in the farm for ten years, were admitted to a public hospital through unremitting efforts and jumped out of the farm. They said goodbye to the years when they faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, and also raised their children. Their household registrations were all taken away.

In the blink of an eye, another 20 years have passed. These are 20 years of rapid development. Our family has rebuilt three houses. They are all brick houses, bright, transparent, tall and spacious. The suspended ceiling is equipped with a light pool, the walls are painted with imitation porcelain, the floor is paved with ceramic tiles, and the home is equipped with heating. The earthen kang has been dismantled a long time ago, and liquefied gas is used for cooking. What you eat is chicken, duck and fish, and what you wear is silk and satin. According to my mother, you are living like a landlord now!

Not only our family, but also the entire village has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many families have renovated brick houses with red bricks to the top, and some have installed integral kitchens just like those in the city. In addition to farming, he also engaged in side business and went out to work, which made him rich. There were almost no adobe houses left in the village. The streets that used to be muddy when it rained are now hardened. The village is building a new socialist countryside, and posters promoting respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and eliminating pornography, gambling, and drugs are painted on walls everywhere. The village's sanitation is also very good, which is refreshing everywhere.

Now that agricultural mechanization is gradually advancing, people are less tired from farming. Harvesting wheat and harvesting autumn, the most tiring days in the past are now very relaxed. People have more time to do other things.

With the acceleration of urbanization, many villagers have moved to the city to buy buildings. In winter, they live in a house with floor heating and a thin quilt, and they can survive the harsh winter, and their happiness index is high. Rise!

Since the implementation of the New Rural Cooperative Medical System, people are no longer afraid of serious illness, and the incidence of poverty due to illness has gradually decreased. There are free physical examinations every year, especially the elderly are very enthusiastic. Life is so good and they want to live for two more years.

Our family has also bought a commercial house. Every time we have a family dinner, my father faces a table of chicken, duck and fish. One thing he often says is: When I lived in a small dilapidated house, I never dreamed of it. I thought it would be today! Thank you Communist Party, thank Deng Xiaoping!

Forty years passed with the flick of a finger, and the sun and the moon changed their appearance. In forty years, we will definitely have changes beyond imagination. I look forward to it...

Part 2

The country aunt called , her words were full of joy. She said that she had moved, moved into a building, and the whole village had moved. She also used natural gas for cooking like city people. In winter, there was floor heating in the house, which made me smoke. It's time to go home and take a look.

To be honest, I haven’t returned to my hometown for a long time. It’s not that I don’t love my hometown, it’s just that the poverty and backwardness of my hometown have left a deep mark on me. In my mind, my hometown Just muddy dirt roads, raised dust and garbage with flies flying all over the ground.

More than ten years ago, I went back to my hometown of Mi Town to attend my cousin’s wedding. That wedding shocked me. To get married in the countryside, you have to find someone to check the date and find an auspicious day. My aunt found one who is said to be very accurate. Taoist priest, he chose June 19th, a good day, Mr. Guan’s birthday. I didn’t expect that it would rain heavily from 5 o’clock in the morning, and the rain would not stop all day long, but it would be a hardship for us, the wedding team, Auntie. My home is Dongjiahe, a small village next to the Majia River. There is a dirt road of more than ten miles to the village. The cars welcoming the bride were miserable and most of them got stuck in the quagmire. As a last resort, I hired a tractor from the village to pull out the quagmire one by one. The dowry car was The dowry she wore had already been soaked to the skin, and what was even worse was that the bride was drowned. The scene was extremely embarrassing.

With that unforgettable memory, I seldom went back to my hometown in the future. It was not until I answered the call from my aunt that I suddenly remembered that I had not returned to my hometown for 10 years.

My old mother was also eager to go home, so she shouted to go back the next day, but she couldn't resist her. I took leave of absence and drove the whole family to my aunt's house. On the way, my mother kept talking, saying that she had been away from home for a few days. I've been here for 20 years, but I just can't keep up with the comfort of home in the city. I know that my mother's hometown is an unforgettable hometown.

After five hours, I finally arrived at my hometown, but everything in front of me made me feel like I was on the wrong track. How could this be my aunt’s home?

When I came to Jixiang Community in Mi Town, where my aunt said she lived, I saw a wide and flat road with rows of buildings on both sides. Cars came and went, and there was a constant flow of people. The newly built Jixiang Community was lined with buildings and squares. , green spaces, street lights and other infrastructure are readily available, and people's faces are filled with happy smiles.

The gate of Jixiang Community faces west, and the most eye-catching thing is the Jixiang Community Archway. It has three gates and four pillars, and there are eight elephants under the pillars. On the west side, the four characters in the middle are "Jixiang Mi Town", and the couplet is "Pingchang's old county for thousands of years, Guangjue Tianxia, ??thousands of families' peaceful new home, Fuze World". , in the middle of the east side is "Mi Town Auspiciousness", the upper line is "Zhuangzai, Mu Party's grace gathers the people's hearts, this is now an auspicious city", and the second line is "Mei Xi Chuan Han Lu Xing Tang Yun Si Di was originally Milu Town".
