Grandma gave birth to children for the Liu family. In Liu Lang's previous life, she had great merit. Even if she was not enshrined, she would still be treated like a queen at home. However, in that era, it was only natural for a daughter-in-law to have children.
, is a woman
You can do it, so this is not capital at all. In addition, you have to cook, wash, take care of your husband and take care of the children. The most important thing is to take good care of your parents-in-law, especially the mother-in-law who is the head of the family. Even if you take good care of it, you will not be able to do it.
I will be insulted and stared at from time to time.
This is how my grandma has lived for more than 20 years after she married into the Liu family.
When she got too old and could no longer walk, and she no longer had the strength to curse, the day came when grandma took charge of the family. But just three years ago, grandma suddenly got a strange disease and lay in bed unconscious for seven days.
For seven nights, his family could barely survive by pouring gruel into his mouth bit by bit.
When I was sent to the hospital, the doctors couldn't see any problems, because in this era there were no CT or X-ray equipment. In the end, the doctors came to the conclusion that you should go back and prepare for the funeral!
Well, this conclusion plunged the family into extreme pain. According to my father’s later recollection, he actually bought grandma’s shroud and waited for her to die.
But the doctors' conclusions are ultimately unreliable and have not changed for decades. Just when the family fell into despair, grandma miraculously revived. Although she could not go to the ground, she could still cook food, open her mouth and clothe herself.
After a month, my grandma finally recovered. Even though she had trouble walking and her consciousness was sometimes unclear, she still survived and had tenacious vitality.
According to my father's recollection, ten years later, a doctor who had treated my grandma knew that she was still living in the hospital. He was very surprised at that time: the attending doctor had died, and the patient whom he had concluded would die was still there.
It's a miracle to be alive tenaciously
But the miracle continues. Even after more than thirty years, grandma has been bedridden for more than ten years. Liu Lang's father, uncles and aunts take good care of her every day. The tenacious grandma actually lives longer than herself. Oh
, yes, that was myself in the previous life.
Liu Lang often sees his grandma these days. She is leaning on a cane. She giggles when she sees him, and then reaches out to hug him, but the grandma sitting on the kang head makes a cold snort.
Grandma immediately retracted her hand, but soon she would reach out and touch her face, making a squeaking sound, and Liu Lang would giggle at grandma. At this time, grandma would
showed a smile,
"Ring ring ring..."
There was a crisp ringing outside the house, and then a "bang!"
The iron door of the house was knocked open.
Liu Lang didn't need to look to know that his father was back.
My father leaned his "permanent" car against the wall and pushed open the door. This door was very "characteristic" and made a "zilla" sound when pushed, which was the sound of the friction between wood and the ground.
Liu Lang was very impressed by this voice in his previous life. After all, he lived here before he was ten years old and listened to this voice every day.
After pushing open the door with its own "sound effect", you have to pass through a passage about five meters long and less than three meters wide. This passage is called the "outer room", and the corresponding "inner room".
There is a door between the two rooms. The "back room" behind the door is where the family eats and sleeps.
It feels like a two-bedroom house, but in fact, twenty years later, such houses were collectively called shantytowns.
The outhouse is not really a house. It is built with a stove and a place for cooking. There is also a tap. Half of the time within a month, water will not flow out, but there is no problem with drinking water, because the tap is
There are two large tanks standing next to it. Clean water is always stored in one tank and can be used whenever the water is cut off.
The other jar is usually empty. Only in autumn, when the autumn vegetables come down, will it be filled with cabbage. Then add large grains of salt and press it with a heavy stone. After closing the lid, it will take a month to overwinter the sauerkraut.
You can eat it.
Also, there is a brick stove inside the outhouse. This stove is not only used to light a fire for cooking, it is also connected to the earthen kang in the inner room, and there is also an iron pipe.
The other side of this iron pipe is connected to a pig iron heater. Every winter, the lowest temperature in the north is close to minus 30 degrees. At this time, the fire in the stove will not go out, and the coal slime and chopped wood will be thrown away.
When I entered the stove, the hot flames made the earthen bed sizzling hot.
It will boil the water in the radiator, and the socks that have just been washed will be completely dry after being placed on it for an hour. However, be sure not to put your cold hands on it, because it is almost boiling inside.
If you put your hands on the hot water, you will be burned within a minute.
However, even if the radiator is burning hot, the temperature in the room is not enough to make people feel warm in the coldest time. Over time, your face and hands will become numb from the cold. After all, there is only
A heater and the wooden windows of the house are full of gaps. Even if the gaps are completely blocked by newspapers, they only prevent the cold wind from blowing in. They still cannot stop the cold air from outside from penetrating.
The best way to keep warm at this time is to get into bed. The warm Tukang will drive away all the coldness. Even if there is heavy snow outside, you will fall asleep peacefully, but when you wake up the next day, your throat will feel extremely dry.
The feeling of being roasted on the earthen kang all night is actually quite unpleasant.
Liu Lang spent ten years in this room, and many things were firmly imprinted in his mind, but in his memory, many memories were beautiful, and in this life, this room
He saw all the details in his eyes, and unexpectedly found that this and his wonderful memories
There is a huge difference in my memories. It is hard to imagine that my childhood was spent in such conditions. But after all, it is now 1980, and the country has only implemented the policy of reform and opening up for two years. In a small northern city like my hometown
I still can’t feel the spring breeze of reform at all.
"Hi!" With a sound, my father pushed open the wooden door in the outer room, making a sound of its own, and at the same time, my father's voice came over.
"Let me look at my son!"
His father pushed open the door of the back room and walked in. Liu Lang's half-open eyes watched the door open and then slowly close by itself, showing the appearance of an automatic door. Of course, what could be done in his own home?
There is no such high-end furniture. The reason why the door can close by itself is because there is a spring hanging on the door and connected to the door frame. When the door is pushed open, the spring will be stretched. Once the door is released, the spring will shrink and close again.
His father picked up Liu Lang from the kang, and then gently pressed his face against Liu Lang's. Liu Lang was scratched so hard by his father's stubble that he bared his teeth.
