There was no air conditioning in the countryside in the 1980 s. How did you spend the summer?

In the 1980s, having home appliances was a good family. At that time, if there was an electric fan at home, whether it was a ceiling fan or a floor fan, it was a conditional family, which was more obvious in rural areas. At that time, most people simply couldn't imagine using air conditioning. It can be said that many people don't know that there is such an electrical appliance as air conditioning, and they have never seen what air conditioning looks like, let alone use it. Moreover, at that time, TV was not popular, and neither were ordinary people. Therefore, from the heart of many people, they don't know that there is air conditioning, so they don't say that air conditioning is used for summer vacation.

In the 1980s, everyone with good family conditions could use electric fans. In summer, they rely entirely on electric fans to escape the heat. At that time, there was no refrigerator to make ice, that is, they could not blow air conditioning through electric fans, so they had to rely on natural wind. But in those days, people were content to use electric fans to cool down and escape the heat, because everyone thought that the electric appliance that could be lowered was electric fans.

For families without electric fans, they can only take a fan in their hands and fan themselves for the summer. At that time, we didn't have any nightlife We ate dinner early, then took a bath to make ourselves comfortable, and then took a cool bed (that is, a summer bed made of bamboo) to sleep indoors or in the most ventilated place at home, using natural wind and fans in our hands to escape the heat.

By the 1980s, despite the lack of material resources and limited conditions, the contract responsibility system for joint production had been implemented, and the reform and opening up had begun. People's minds were gradually liberated and the lives of ordinary people were getting better and better. I remember 1983 eating steamed bread with white flour all year round. Of course, that will not be compared with now. However, ordinary people are easily satisfied and still very happy.

For rural people, because of the high height of the building, the temperature drops rapidly. In the evening, they enjoy the cool outside and wait until they want to sleep before going back to the house. This is such a simple way to escape the summer, but everyone is full of happy smiles, because everyone is very happy!
