What was it like to wear rotten socks in the countryside when I was a child?

First, when I was a child, I wore rotten socks in the countryside. I really hope to have a pair of beautiful nylon stockings one day.

Second, I am born after 80. My mother died when my brother was three and a half and I was one and a half. My father went out to earn money, and my 80-year-old grandmother led us. Sometimes my aunt brings back new socks from the provincial capital, and I am reluctant to wear them.

Thirdly, I didn't take off the old socks my grandmother gave us until my brother took me to pick honeysuckle and sold it to earn money to buy new socks.

Fourth, rotten socks often have toes exposed, and some have broken soles. Even if the strongest socks are unified, the virtuous and capable grandmother will mend them as soon as she sees them. Although some feet are rubbed, it can prevent cold and freeze, and it is also the warmth of the soul.

I was born in 1962. At that time, socks were all long cotton socks, all the way to the knees, and cotton soles were under the soles, which were sewn into the thickness of insoles with dense needles and threads. Because the family is poor and there are many brothers and sisters, everyone has only one pair of socks in winter. I didn't change my socks, and I didn't have good hygiene habits. I wore my stockings for ten and a half months in a row until a thick layer of black dirt formed at the bottom of the socks, covering the jutting hemp thread at the bottom of the socks. Wash and dry at night, and then put on your feet to keep out the cold the next day.

If the socks are worn out, with toes exposed in the front or heels exposed in the back, you have to tell adults to mend those rotten holes with needle and thread, otherwise it will be more troublesome to mend them without mending an inch or tearing a foot and a half.

In the dead of winter, when it is freezing, shoes and socks are necessary to keep out the cold. But the family is poor and the children love to run. Shoes and socks that have been mended several times show toes or feet when put on. To make matters worse, the exposed place is painful and itchy quickly and unbearable. It turned out that there was frostbite there. Frostbite can't be cured in time, and there is no condition to cure it. Soon it will be red, swollen, festering and even bleeding. Purulent blood and rotten socks stick together tightly, and it is uncomfortable to take off your socks and sleep at night. Often the festering flesh is torn off together with socks, and the mouth is full of tears.

This is the feeling of wearing rotten socks when I was a child!

I was born in the countryside in the 1950s. New China has just been established. The country is poor, the people are poor, and the farmers in rural areas are even poorer.

In the past, socks worn by some old people were mainly made of cloth. In the coldest time, they wore leggings on their feet like soldiers. There were no cotton socks to wear at that time, not to mention all kinds of beautiful socks that people wear now.

When I was a child, I wore cotton socks, but because my family was a little poor, I could only buy a new pair of socks during the Spring Festival. Usually when it's not cold, it's barefoot, and in winter, it's old shoes and socks. Socks are only worn in the coldest weather. In general, only shoes are worn without socks. Sometimes, if you want to wear a new pair of socks, you have to wait for the person who picked oranges from the river on the road to eat the discarded shells on the road, go home to dry them, and go to the drugstore to change them into a few cents before you can buy a pair of socks. In order to make socks last for a long time, mother will sew the soles of socks with cotton thread.

Think about it, children only wear a pair of socks a year, and then they run around. Naturally, socks will soon be trampled. First, the mother with big feet pointed out that it was said that her big aunt came out, and then the second mother pointed out that it was said that her second aunt also came out. What can we do? I have to borrow my mother's skillful hands for sewing and mending. It's hopeless. I have to throw it away.

With the development of the times, the growth of age and the improvement of economic conditions, it is okay to wear socks at home. If you go outside, you will be laughed at and feel humiliated, so you must buy a new one.

No matter how poor people are now, they can't find a pair of broken socks. Even if it is a little old, it will not hesitate to throw it away. Therefore, it is necessary to drink water and think of the source, and understand that today's happy life is hard-won. We must cherish it and never forget our roots.

I didn't wear socks when I was a child, and my feet were frozen stiff. It's hard to remember now. I really can't live like that anymore. You can only realize it if you have experienced it.

When I was a child, I could wear out my socks, which was very warm. Imagine that in the early 1960s, I didn't even have enough to eat, let alone clothes, let alone shoes. I still remember them clearly, and my feet left a deep mark. In early winter, when the weather is not cold and the ground is not frozen, my feet and ears will bear eggplant.

As long as I can remember, I haven't worn socks since I was a child, and my feet are often red and swollen with cold. After the red pimples get bigger, they are most afraid of rising temperature. When the temperature is high, the itching in the frozen block can drive people crazy! I don't know what elements are missing. Sometimes the heel is frozen and cracked. Once the crack gets bigger, I can only walk with my heels, for fear that the crack will hurt when it hits the sole!

Until I was a teenager, my grandmother made me a pair of socks with part of my worn-out pants. Due to intense study and cold weather, my socks never left my feet all winter. In spring, socks take off, because there is too much sweat and dust, you can stand up, almost like a pair of boots.

People who have never experienced suffering don't know how hard it is! Recalling the past and comparing with today's happy life, we should cherish today more! Cherish the great changes brought about by reform and opening up, and cherish the chief architect of reform and opening up who let us embark on the road of prosperity. Water is active and trees have roots. Don't forget to dig wells when drinking water, and don't forget to bring passers-by when you get rich!

I am over 70 years old this year, and I have worn old clothes and worn socks. How does it feel? When I was a child, the country was just established, and the people had a hard time! Only work hard and live simply, no matter what is new, old or bad, you can't throw it away! Today, the glorious tradition of hard work, simplicity, diligence and thrift has taken root in my heart and often educated my future generations!

It's not right to say that socks are "rotten" It's more like saying that socks are "broken". If young people don't know what it's like to wear out socks, then go home and ask your parents who came from that era and came from the countryside. If your parents have not experienced that era, ask your grandparents. They will tell you how they feel!

In the rural areas in the south, in the past years, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, some people in the rural generation may never wear socks, because they don't need to wear socks, while rural people living in the north, including rural people in the northeast of China, generally don't wear socks in spring, summer and autumn, because they can't afford to wear socks at that time, and it is impossible not to wear socks in winter, because they will freeze their feet without socks. But you should also wear your own wool, or use thick wool socks made of domestic dog hair. Even if you wear such thick socks, you can't resist the cold weather of MINUS 30 degrees in winter, and basically your feet will be frozen!

Even if you wear thick socks, you will freeze your shoes and socks in cold winter. In this way, even if you wear the best socks for a few days, they will wear out. In order to make your feet not so cold, you should mend worn socks in time at any time. As for what kind of feeling, you'd better wear it for a few days in the cold winter and feel it yourself.

Thank you for your concern and support for the answers to the questions concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers, and welcome your comments!

Thank you for your platform problem:

In the rural areas of 1950s and 1960s, the country suffered from natural disasters that didn't exist in the past, and was overwhelmed by grandiose people who liked their jobs, making fakes, which led to people's lack of food and clothing.

Don't say wearing socks, you don't even know what socks are. Only the village women who know how to be the masters make cloth socks by hand, and the small market stalls are filled with all kinds of hand-made shoes, and there are few domestic ones. Since there is, there is no money to buy it.

On snowy and rainy days, children wear hats, hemp fibers, clogs and sticks, and some children without adults walk barefoot on snowy days.

Our generation is afraid of cold and hunger, so we know what happiness is. Now that the country is rich, there is nothing that is not made by hardworking and kind China. People born now are really happy.
