For us today, due to the improvement of living standards, there are more and more diseases of wealth caused by overnutrition, and eating whole grains has become a fashion. But, in my memory, the last century.
In the sixties and seventies, it was only a luxury to be able to fill your stomach and not starve.
When I first entered middle school, my tablemate Zhao, saw that I came to school with steamed sweet potatoes every day, and was very sympathetic to my family situation, so he took the initiative to give me the coarse grain noodles that only people in the city have grain capital, which made me like a treasure, and immediately gave it to my family, my father is a village cadre, and he has a little knowledge, so he said: Only senior cadres are not short of face tickets, what are the parents of your classmates?I said by the way that it was an eleventh level cadre, and he was controlled by criticism every day, so he almost didn't go to prison. My father smiled and said: "The universities here from Beijing are only the old Eighth Road, and now the capitalist roaders are being defeated everywhere." Then, I was very excited to send the eggs that were used as medicinal eggs at home, so that people would not feel that rural people were greedy for cheapness. Because I once saw that in the scorching heat, my father was sick and his throat was on fire, so he was willing to eat it raw to cure the disease, and it had a miraculous effect. We can only boil an egg to replenish our body when we are sick, and when we have no money to buy medicine, eggs have become the best medicine primer. Now it is normal for people to be willing to give away eggs in exchange for face tickets. In this way, the coarse grains that my classmates didn't want to eat every month basically alleviated my family's food and clothing problem. In that era when public grain was paid according to tasks every year, it was a common phenomenon that grain growers had no food to eat, and vegetable growers had no food to eat, and there was a huge difference in urban and rural life, and there was an abnormal phenomenon that people would rather be dogs in the city than be countrymen.
When I took politics classes in middle school, I learned that New China took the three major differences between class, urban and rural areas, and mental and physical labor as its goal of struggle, which showed that the difficulties faced by the country at that time were indeed great. I have the impression that the teacher of the political class was a rebel who started to break into the party, and when he talked about the dialectical principles in philosophy, I raised my hand and asked the teacher: Since the class has been eliminated, where are the class enemies and struggles?The teacher replied that philosophy is for politics, and then he warned me: You are one of the first batch of students of the Cultural Revolution, a member of the Communist Youth League, a child of a poor peasant, you must take a firm stand, the struggle still exists without class, and philosophically do not drill the horns of the bull, and it is a matter of principle to prefer the seedlings of socialism to the grass of capitalism. But at that time, I only felt that the society was too unfair, people in the city could eat a certain amount of fine grains with a ticket, that is, flour and rice, and people in the countryside wanted to eat some flour or rice, so they could only think of the law in exchange for improving their lives. Now, how many years have passed, I can't forget the harm caused to the whole country by that absurd era that would rather be the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism, and reflect on the past history, I believe even more: Only the wisdom of the party and the great of the country and the people who have experienced twists and turns can embark on the broad road of happiness and the good days brought to the people by today's reform and opening up.
