How cold was it in the countryside of the Northeast in the sixties and seventies? How did the peasants at that time protect themselves from the cold?
When I was a child, icicles could grow up to one meter, my hands were frozen and cracked, and I could see that my bones were so cold in winter that I was looking forward to spring all day long. At that time, it was more than ten or twenty degrees below zero at every turn, the ice on the river was thick and the stones could not be broken, the snow was so deep that it was calf-deep, and the new snow covered the old snow. Now in Jiangsu, the winter is at most minus a few degrees, and the ice and snow in the river cannot be formed, and it is difficult to melt on the ground
In winter, the temperature often drops to minus 323 degrees Celsius, which is really cold. I remember when I was a child in my hometown, the house was not big and the glass was single-layered, and the windows were full of ice flowers in the morning. There was only one stove in the house, and the kitchen tank was frozen. Although we have frozen hands every year, we were very happy at that time, and we didn't have any troubles, and we couldn't go back to our childhood
When I was a child, the snow was heavy in the winter, and it was often so heavy that the doors were closed. At that time, I don't know what the temperature was, but the river was covered with thick ice. We can guess how cold it is based on the thickness of the ice. At that time, the village listened to model dramas through cable radio, such as "Shajiabang" and "Red Lantern". At that time, radios were a luxury, and few had them. Even though we didn't have money or TV at that time, we were really happy. I remember sleeping on a warm thatched bunk in the winter, which was very comfortable. I have to walk two kilometers to school, and I have to walk several times a day, and now my children have a car to pick them up and drop off at school, which is really envious. Think about our time, although the conditions were poor, but we were also very happy
In the winter, my friends and I were playing crazy in the snow, and our cotton pants were soaked. When we got back to the house, we roasted cotton pants around the fire, but accidentally roasted them. I've also tasted ice in a tank, licked a manhole cover to write on a frozen window, baked potatoes and sweet potatoes on the stove
When I was a child, there would always be frost on the windows of my house at night in winter. Mom would stick coins to the glass before bedtime, and the next morning, the child would pick off the coins that had been frozen and keep them to buy popsicles. And those who love to sleep can only watch the coins and not get them because they get up too late
Leng Feng is really a master of painting, it uses ice to paint on the window. It's beautiful to draw casually, and it's so beautiful to be shiny. These ice window flowers are so beautiful! Look at this ice crystal, the shape is different and beautiful! I remember when I was a child, in winter, there was no heating at home, only a stove, and the ice flowers on the window in the morning were so beautiful!
When I was a child, my mother used to push me to go to my grandmother's house. When she was sleepy on the road, she scared me and said that there were goblins stealing children on the road. Actually, I'm afraid that I won't be able to push the cart when I fall asleep, and I'm afraid that I'll stagger
Life used to be hard but not stressful. Now that life is better, the pressure is great. Raising a baby, tuition, seeing a doctor, buying a car and a house, getting married, all of which cost a lot of money, it's really tiring!
When I was a child, it was so cold in winter! Under the eaves are long icicles, which are especially beautiful when it snows, but the snow melts, and the feet are muddy and wet, and the cloth and cotton shoes are soaked. I had chilblains on my hands, and I itched terribly, so I could only wear a woolen yarn and write with my hands. At that time, you had to wear a large cotton jacket, thick cotton pants, and cotton shoes in winter. The only fruits are frozen pears, frozen persimmons, and peanuts are all good things. Now when I talk to my daughter about this, she says that I always remember the hard days of the past
In the past, there were no left-behind children for rural parents to farm at home
When I go home, I always see a red-hot fire, surrounded by roasted sweet potatoes and peanuts, which is so fragrant! Vegetables were stewed in the cauldron, and the hot kang was also warm. When it snowed, we rushed out of the door to play wildly, and the heat was blowing from the door of our heads. In the winter, the school poured ice rink on the playground, and after school, we played with the ice car, and it was really fun for you to push and pull!
Childhood was happy and unforgettable, but unfortunately it was never going back. It was really fun at that time. No matter how cold it is, we don't care, we just frolic around the barn and haystacks. I remember that in the winter in the countryside, the ground was frozen and cracked, and the ice in the river became thick and thick, and it became our playground. Every day, the water tank has to break the ice to get water. As soon as it's cold, I just want to sit on the warm kang
When threshing, the bales of wheat are untied and then threshed into a threshing machine. When threshing, untie the bundles and spread them on the concrete floor
At that time, the cold water tanks were frozen in winter, and ice picks were hung on the eaves. I slept on the kang at night, and I had chilblains on my face, ears, hands and feet, but we still felt very happy. At that time, it was so cold in winter that I didn't dare to drink water at night, for fear of going to the toilet in the middle of the night and shivering. After untying his hands, he quickly ran back to the kang and got into the bed. At that time, they were all bungalows with no heating, so they had to burn their own stoves. Think about how blessed we are now
When I was a child, the winter was very difficult, and I had to spend the winter wearing a padded jacket, and I couldn't forget the snot marks on the sleeves. At that time, I couldn't even afford autumn pants, so I wore cotton pants and shivered. I look forward to the Chinese New Year every year. Although the house is warm, but the window is leaking, you have to bury your head in the quilt when you sleep, cover two quilts, and put your clothes in the middle and cover another layer on top. When I wake up in the morning, my clothes are still warm. Either roll the quilt around your neck and show only your head
In the past, I used to use kerosene lamps at home to burn firewood for heating in the winter when I couldn't afford coal
There are kang heating in the northeast, Hebei, and northwest, which is okay. There is no kang in central Henan, and you have to rely on more movement to keep warm. When I was a child, the snow was as deep as my calves, but I didn't feel cold. Now I go back to my hometown for the New Year, and I feel very cold. Riding to work in the morning, I saw everyone wearing down jackets. Thinking that 50 years ago, people had no sweaters, cashmere, etc., and could only wear home-made cotton clothes, I don't know what they were wearing
In the past, we picked mulberries and hair needles, cut pigweed, cooled in the bamboo forest in summer, made bamboo leaf hats, caught gold beetles, and went to the river to catch shrimp. These are the pleasures that today's kids are addicted to mobile phones and games that simply can't imagine
The old days were so good, although the food was average but very delicious. The heart is relaxed, and the people are simple and kind. I miss that time!
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes in winter made me unable to open my legs in my childhood, and the taste was unforgettable. Roasted sweet potatoes are a rare delicacy in the 70s. Playing in the snow, building snowmen, snowball fights, skating... Those innocent joys will be remembered for a lifetime. I still remember the warm picture of my frozen feet warming up by the fireside, and my mother roasting peanuts on the stove, and the nostalgia was deeply imprinted on the good times that I can never go back
In 84 years ago, Zhang Mingmin sang "My Chinese Heart". The next day, someone on the street taught everyone to sing for free, with lyrics and accordion accompaniment. Everyone was very happy and enthusiastic. At that time, people were so simple!
When I was a child, I could often see a sky full of stars at night, but now it is difficult to find them. In the middle of the night, the starry sky is reflected in the lake, and the sparkling and tranquil atmosphere makes the whole world as pure and beautiful as a fairy tale
It's a unique pleasure of northern winter! I have carefully observed the formation of ice flowers, which are related to humidity, air currents, wind, and temperature, and their shape varies from day to day. The ice flowers that come out when the sun shines are particularly beautiful. In the past, she always liked to step on the windowsill barefoot and look at the warmth of that room. As soon as the sun shone down, she looked at the ice flowers, her eyes glistening with tears, and she was reluctant to disappear. But now that the climate is warmer and the house is heated, we are no longer freezing, but we can no longer see those beautiful ice flowers
In the past, there was nothing left in the field in the winter, so I fed what I could feed the animals, and what I couldn't feed was burned as firewood. At that time, everything was delicious, and now I can't go back
In the past, everyone in the countryside built stoves, beat coal billets, and burned coal and straw
