As a child, I grew up in a mine.
Although I was born in the 80s of the last century, I have different memories of my childhood than many of my peers.
In the late eighties, it was when I was a child. Every household has electric lights, but the electricity is not as stable as it is now, there will be sudden power outages, and even I remember one year during the Chinese New Year, there was a sudden power outage in the mine, and the neighbors were chatting on the road, waiting for the call, which became the only one in countless New Year's memories!
The only main road in the mining area was dimly lit at that time.
There are public kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools and technical schools in the mine.
There is a direct shuttle bus to the provincial capital in the mine, which departs every hour.
When the economy of the mine was good, workers came from all over the world, and in the northernmost part, there were even workers from Heilongjiang who came to dig coal. Therefore, many school-age girls near the mining area want to marry miners, hoping that they can live a relatively prosperous life.
It was against this backdrop that when I was a child, there were always people who secretly dumped babies on the streets of the mines before dawn.
When I was a child, there were many large cement pipes on the roadside of the main road in the mining area. That should be what is left of the buried sewage pipe. The pipe is one meter in diameter, so my friends and I often play in those layers of cement pipes.
Most of the abandoned babies were wrapped in clothes by their parents and the child's birth date was clearly written. Before dawn, there was no one around, and it was quietly placed in the big cement pipe. Therefore, people know through the crying of abandoned babies that there are abandoned babies again today!The workers who go to the morning shift and the classmates they meet on the road will spread the word of mouth, and everyone will go to watch the abandoned baby, and we are children, and we will also go around to see the abandoned baby. Most of the abandoned babies have no physical problems, but they must be a gender majority, and you can guess according to your national conditions.
Many years ago, I didn't even think about why these babies were in the mine, but they didn't always cry in the cold cement pipes, they lay in the pipes in the morning and disappeared when I got out of school.
When I was younger, I didn't wonder if they all went.
When I was 12 years old, there was an abandoned baby in our family...
That kid cries a lot!
She had a ruddy complexion, as if she knew that she had been abandoned by her biological parents, and had been crying loudly.
I came home from school and saw the little guy in the swaddling clothes, unrelated by blood. I couldn't help but ask my mother, "Mom!."Why is there an extra child in the family?Whose child is this?”
Mom said impatiently, "Little kid!".Don't ask if you shouldn't know!”
She's always like that!didn't explain the problem clearly to me, and prevaricated me with big reasons.
On that day, although I was only 12 years old, I could feel that the atmosphere in the house was very strange!
Because there are a lot of people in the family who don't know each other, they are constantly discussing problems with my father, they seem to be very mysterious, and their voices are very low, as if they are afraid that the secret will be known, and I can't hear what they say at all.
After the mother fed the baby powder, the irritable child fell asleep peacefully.
I asked my mother, "Mom, why did you cover the child's face?"What if she suffocated?”
My mother was so angry that she gave me an angry look: "Don't talk nonsense!".”
However, the mother gently opened the baby's package and put a breathable hole for the child.
The next day, I woke up and never saw the baby again!
After another year, I happened to know that one of my classmates turned out to be an abandoned baby. However, she is very beautiful!Moreover, a few years after she came to that childless family, her adoptive parents gave birth to a younger brother to her. However, she was lucky!The adoptive parents did not abandon her again!Always been good to her. She has all the qualities that all girls want to have: beautiful, smart, and cheerful!I sometimes wonder if her biological parents would regret abandoning her if they knew that their child was so good
It was a memory of a special era.
In today's society, it is no longer easy to find abandoned babies. Every family has a child!Both men and women, everyone loves it equally!Some people even feel that they can not work so hard for the rest of their lives because they gave birth to a daughter, and they are even happier!So, I prefer to have a daughter!
It's only thirty years!People's conception of fertility has undergone earth-shaking changes!Everyone will not have children casually, let alone dislike baby girls!That's how society is progressing!
