People nowadays feel that they are not as happy as before. I remember when I was a teenager, my family was actually very poor and had no money. The clothes I wore were basically made by my mother using my father and my own clothes. I remember that at that time, there was a large cabinet at home with doors on both sides. The door lock on one side had already broken, and there were only some less important things like clothes inside.
The door lock on the other side is good. Remember to put some sugar, red dates and some old brick tea in it. At that time, when an important guest came to the house, my mother would open the cabinet to make tea with sugar and red dates for the guests.
I remember that at that time, I knew that before I went to junior high school, there were 200 yuan between the few bricks in the cabinet, and it would never be much or less. That was all the foundation of our family at that time.
At that time, my family was still farming. My father worked in a mosque in the city at that time, but it seemed that he could earn very little money because he could never see the two hundred yuan in the cabinet change.
In this way, my mother became the only person in the family who can do farm work, and my sister and I can sometimes go to the field to help. I remember that during the busy farming season, my mother basically spent the whole day every day, went out early and came back late, and had to cook for us when she came back at night. At that time, she would always roll noodles in water, and the side dishes would always be radish leaves. But now it still tastes so delicious.
has never had such delicious meals since she grew up. The happiest thing at that time was that every time my father came back from the city, he would bring a bottle of drink or two packs of instant noodles.
At that time, the instant noodles tasted like a delicious food on earth, but they could only be eaten once a month or several months. Moreover, my sister and I shared a pack of instant noodles, and basically there was no more than a few bites per person.
But for some reason, people at that time, both adults and children, lived a happy life, without comparing and not having too much desire. As long as they had enough food every day, adults would chat and do farm work, and the second children would play with sandbags, fly kites, and roll iron rings.
Maybe we will never go back to that era, because this material world has changed everything, even our children nowadays no longer have the childhood we were as young as.
Now children nowadays have no longer the joy of being with the soil when we were young.
This may be a need for social progress, but it may be a sorrow for each of us.
