first shock
sequence
When we were very young, everyone had a fairy-tale castle in their hearts. In that castle, we enjoyed all kinds of care and care care care without worries... Slowly as we mature and grow up, we learned to work hard to care for others, and to build a castle that shades the sun and shelters the rain for our lovers and relatives; in order to make our family and relatives live a better life, we, who are sitting in the castle, continue to work hard to have a better and bigger castle, yearning for another better, bigger and more advanced city, a castle belonging to ourselves and our relatives... Perhaps this is people's longing for a better life, and it is precisely because of it that we have our positive and upward momentum, the motivation and source of our efforts to work hard... It is the positive motivation and source of each of us that constitutes the foundation of the Chinese dream and lays the foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The first time I came to "shake"
In the mid-1970s, the countryside of Jiangsu was still a period of serious preference for boys over girls. Although the family planning policy had already begun, many families still secretly did the "super-born guerrillas" to give birth to a son. Our family belongs to this type, and I am the descendant of the guerrilla team who was almost "planned". At that time, there was a catchphrase in the small county of Jintan, Changzhou at that time, "The daughter queued up to the power station, and did not raise a son and would not stop" (meaning that she would have to give birth to a son no matter what). Although my father was an intellectual who graduated from a technical secondary school in 1968 (he studied animal husbandry and veterinary medicine major), he was still an intellectual.
There is no shortage of this idea of favoring boys over girls. Mom and dad grew up in the same village since childhood, and grandma and grandma's family were only 100 meters away. It is said that my grandmother looked down on my father, a poor son-in-law who "had nothing" except a little poor culture. In the future, she would not even have the chance to go to the family. Instead, grandfather felt that this child was honest, hardworking, and educated, and should not be bad in the future. In this way, under the strong and tough manner of grandfather, he betrothed his eldest daughter to this poor boy who had only 15 square meters of marriage house and had to squeeze with his mother and brother.
How courage and courage does this require? It is almost impossible to look at modern people! It is said that grandma and grandpa often quarrel, which is basically a big quarrel every three days, a small quarrel every two days, and a small quarrel every two days, and a quarrel is basically common, and the marriage for their eldest daughter is even more fierce... The facts prove that grandpa and mother's vision is correct: after three years of working, my father built four tiled houses, and divided two for his younger brother and mother to live with. The third sister was still born in that tiled house.
In that era, material resources were indeed extremely scarce and lacking, so starting from scratch was basically a common phenomenon in that era. Although my grandmother always complained and opposed it, my grandfather and my mother liked him, so after he graduated from school, he married my mother in that 15 square meters thatched hut. The second year after marriage, at around 9 pm on November 29, 1969, my mother gave birth to my eldest sister Zhao Juqin at home. Two years later, at 10 pm on August 6, 1971, my mother gave birth to my second sister Zhao Jufang at home. Because my father is the kind of "poor and white", but fortunately, he is not the type of "sloppy and careless". He studied
, an educated intellectual, soon received heavy use from the unit, skilled and hardworking, and was promoted to deputy leader by exception (not long ago, a cousin from the next town came to my city to meet. When he drove to pick him up, he got in the car and said: I just met Wu Manghai, the old veterinarian station manager of our town about half a month ago. When he met, he pulled me and said, "Your uncle is amazing, his business ability and business level are quite strong. He has been the first in our Jintan city for many years. No one can surpass him. He is the first webmaster in our system to allocate a house for each employee. He is indeed quite capable and capable!" Another year later
At around 10 pm on December 5, 1972, they gave birth to my third sister, Zhao Juhong. Chunfeng's pride in career did not make him feel complacent and stopped, but worked harder. At the same time, he used his own learning and expertise to secretly start a side job at home - raising pigs and raising chickens (ducks) to grow mushrooms (in that era, this was not allowed, this was a crime of speculation, but fortunately he had a position to cover up), so the conditions at home became better and better. The arrival of the three daughters increased the expenses at home, the pressure of work at the career, and the hard work of side jobs at home did not dispel his desire to have a son to pass on the family line.
