On the winter morning, on the edge of the biting cold Yangtze River , a bucket of water was pressed on a pair of thin and tender shoulders. Because I really couldn't carry a full load of water, the water was swinging around, so wet my trouser legs. When the bitter river wind blew, I felt that my little neck was even harder. I stepped on the cobblestone road all the way, and the water in the bucket seemed to be swaying even more. When I picked it to the door, the water was five or six minutes full. The parents did not blame them at all, but instead praised them in an extremely exaggerated manner, saying that you can play with them by choosing them again. The young child has a high mouth and is unwilling to go to the river to carry water. My father said, "I can't bear this little bit of hardship, what should I do when I grow up?" Don’t suffer now, but you will suffer a lot in the future! The child's eyes were circling, he picked up the bucket, and walked towards the river beach that had not yet been brightened.
This is the era of carrying water and eating, the experience that remains deep in my memory.
As the college entrance examination approaches, mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, history and philosophy textbooks, various review materials, tutoring materials, plus extracurricular reading materials, stuffed desks and pillows, reading and memorizing evilly all day long, and I really have to forget to eat and sleep. He memorizes molecular formulas, formulas, classical Chinese, etc., and he murmured all day long like a nervous patient. My father wanted his son to be successful, and he also asked someone to collect the magazine "Handle 3 Half Month Talk about " in government agencies, so that I could memorize the current affairs and politics on the ground, which made me very annoyed and somewhat obviously resistant. My father whispered a little Lao Baigan and murmured to himself, studying is a hard job, it is a bit harder now, but it will be sweet in the future. I don’t know.
Although I feel so miserable, I think about my father's words. Therefore, in the pumpkin and vegetable field in Xiaoximenheba, there is often a young man sitting on a small stool holding " Yueyang Tower Notes ", " Thatched Hut Broken Songs by the Autumn Wind" and " Red Cliff Fu " in his hands, reciting classical Chinese in Yili. Neighbors still praised their children in front of their children, looking at them, studying hard and studying hard, and learning from others is good.
After suffering a college entrance examination Waterloo, he lost face and hid in a construction area called Xiaogou in Sifangshan. He carried charcoal to the neighboring Guizhou. He had to walk about ten kilometers of real rugged mountain roads. When it rained, it was called "it was difficult to walk, it was more difficult than climbing the mountains in the forest area." After one day, my back hurts so much that I feel sore and I feel so sleepy when I see the bed. The seventeenth boy really couldn't stand the hard work of carrying charcoal. Seeing this, my brother joked that he would definitely not be angry when he went back to resume the exam. I didn't do it, so I turned my brother to find some work for me. The new job is to print the boards that have been changed from a log saw to an boat board . The work is easy, but it is to accompany the workers to and from get off work. They have to go deep into the mountains and forests where logs are harvested. They have to get up before dawn to eat a full meal, bring the lunch "big steamed buns" for lunch, and roast them on fire at noon and choke them dry. That's really a matter of asking for trouble.
Returning from the deep mountains and old forests to the county town, he is in an unemployed state, so he has to find something to do. At that time, it was difficult to find a odd job. Every household had many children, so there were naturally many young people unemployed. Only when people asked someone to "find relationships and go through the back door" did they find the physical work of packing bags at the grain station. They filled the sacks that were automatically released with their hands every day, and they needed to sew a full sack of grain at the specified time after filling them with a twine needle. The way to live depends on the strength of strong labor. I am so naughty that I can’t bear this hardship! My father’s friend Uncle Zeng told me that “only one can become the best person if one ends hardships.” I didn't understand the meaning at that time, but I only knew that after finishing all the work, I would get 5 yuan in pocket money to buy the books I wanted to read.
Later, an ignorant child who grew up carrying water by the Yangtze River gradually grew up and understood that the place where people were born and raised is the place where they could not be forgotten. At the age when you shouldn't have endured hardship, the bitterness you have experienced becomes sweet after fermentation.
After growing up, I finally realized that all the enviable successes in the world are not coincidentals. They are based on facing difficulties and challenges and making efforts beyond ordinary people, so that they can temper their will and character.In other words, enduring hardships is not only a ancestral teaching, but also a kind of upward, hard work, and a spirit of laughter while crying...
This bitterness is very meaningful, just like the nutrients of life!
