Any inconspicuous detail, even the smell of air, will bring dusty memories in your heart to your eyes.
Just like the popular TV series "Big Rivers" some time ago, from bungalows and dormitories in the courtyard to small aluminum lunch boxes, enamel pots, thermos pots and Barr bicycles, the appearance of these elements suddenly activated parents' impression of home at that time.
△ Old kettle, glass enamel washbasin
△ Enamel tea urn, aluminum lunch box, cassette machine
With the growth of Song Yunhui and Lei Dongbao, the houses and furniture in the play are constantly changing with the changes of the years. In this way, "home" was built up bit by bit by these unremarkable objects, and the memory became more three-dimensional, which made people want to go back to the era when horses and chariots were slow.
△ Song Yunhui's old yard
△ Small units divided by units
At that time, there was no style or decoration. No matter the north or the south, everyone's home is the same.
Today, Sister Yan summed up nine household elements of the last century. Let's see how many you have at home.
1 Every family has a sanitary wall.
The first thing Yan Jie must say is the sanitary wall with white on the top and green on the bottom. No matter at home, school, hospital, office building, you can see it everywhere.
In order to prevent the wall from getting dirty, people will brush a layer of green paint on the bottom that is often rubbed, which is both beautiful and easy to take care of. It even has a foreign English name called "Two-color Wall".
This kind of "semi-wallism" is popular again in retro style, with a different color and collocation, which is unexpectedly fashionable.
In addition to the simple sanitary wall, the families with better conditions at that time also chose European wallboard. Although it looks a bit old-fashioned now, it was very imposing at that time.
2 8-sided exquisite combination cabinets
"Combination furniture sofa bed, central black and white TV. Three brick houses on concrete, rent a truck to pick up the bride. " A jingle tells the definition and yearning of that generation for home.
But it was not easy to buy some furniture in that era of ticket supply. The average worker's salary is only thirty or forty dollars a month. If you want to buy a set of furniture with tickets, you need to go to 200 yuan at least 100. Even if you like enough tickets, you may not be able to buy them overnight.
△ 1985, Xisi Furniture Store
Many people have to find their own skilled carpenters to customize a double-door wardrobe and writing desk, which will take nearly a month to complete.
△ Fraxinus mandshurica+varnish was also a versatile model at that time.
In order to make full use of the limited indoor space, people at that time pieced together several kinds of furniture with different functions, which could be used as wardrobes, TV cabinets and even as writing desks and dressing tables. The indomitable combined cabinet fills a wall, which makes the function+storage the ultimate.
3 From Lime Ground to Floor Leather
Lime ground is what we often call cement ground. At that time, home decoration was mainly to meet practical functions. From bungalows to buildings, almost every family has a concrete floor. More advanced, it is paved with terrazzo, which is wear-resistant and beautiful, all the way up to now.
△ Simple terrazzo floor
△ Poke the picture to see how terrazzo is the most popular.
In the early 1980s, it became popular to lay plastic floor leather at home, such as imitation wood grain, marble and spot pattern. A variety of pattern choices won the hearts of the people.
Later, there was a more durable plastic floor with cheaper price and brighter color, which was popular for quite some time.
△ Plastic floor tiles used by almost every family
△ color printing floor coating
In addition to the changes in hard clothes and furniture, there are also daily soft clothes belonging to that era, which are used by almost every family:
Exquisite white lace cover
Unlike now, there were so many complicated soft clothes at home in the last century. A piece of white lace can be found on sofa, TV, refrigerator, coffee table and even kettle, and it is used properly.
The gentle wind at home seems to be carried by this white lace cloth, which is not only afraid of dirt, but also the pursuit of exquisite life by mothers at that time.
5 national peony sheets
Probably no sheet can compare with this peony sheet. In the 1980 s, almost everyone had it. My friend in the editorial department told me that she still uses it at home, and it hasn't broken down after washing 10 for many years.
△ Shanghai Min Guang Sheet Factory
This "national sheet" comes from the former Shanghai Minguang Sheet Factory. It was produced in the late 1970s, and spread every year after 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. I heard that this factory resumed production on 20 13. Yan you who want to be nostalgic can go to a treasure to search.

6 leisure rattan chair
Since the year before last, rattan has become the new favorite of home furnishing industry. In fact, this kind of rattan chair has been on fire for a long time in the last century.
Cheap in price and good in quality, coupled with portability and mobility, drinking tea, reading newspapers, playing chess and reading books can't be separated from it anywhere. Just "Big Rivers" has appeared many times.
There are many styles of rattan chairs now. Besides the single chair, it can also be woven into a sofa. The texture can be sparse and dense, and the style is more foreign.
7 butterfly sewing machine
When young people got married in the 1970s and 1980s, they all paid attention to having watches, bicycles, sewing machines and radios, commonly known as "three turns and one ring". Although these things have now withdrawn from the historical stage, they were equivalent to "having a car and a house" at that time.
Especially if someone wants to own a sewing machine, that's a great thing. As soon as you step on the accelerator, the happiness of the whole family begins to creak.
△ Everyone has a childhood in which they were beaten while playing sewing machines.
At that time, I bought sewing machines and only recognized the brand of Shanghai Butterfly. At that time, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in Shanghai was only 30 yuan, and a sewing machine cost 150 yuan. Nevertheless, Butterfly sewing machines are always hard to find.
△ Hot sewing machine
8 veteran cadres green desk lamp
From the Republic of China to the reform and opening up, the highest appearance rate on the desk is the green desk lamp. Brass with green glass cover is fashionable and retro, which can always be seen in many film and television dramas.
△ Yu Zecheng's office
The name of this desk lamp is Emeralite desk lamp, which is also commonly known as banker lamp. The Chinese name is green tourmaline desk lamp. Its shape originated from the emerald royal lamps of the British royal court more than 300 years ago.
△ Be kind to your eyes.
Because green has the function of eye protection, many bankers who work late into the night prefer to use this desk lamp. Over time, it is also called banker's desk lamp.
9 Double Happiness Enamel Products
In the last century, enamel was the most common material in the family. Pots, pots, tea and toiletries, wedding gifts ... condensed the memory of an entire era.
In particular, this kind of enamel product with double happiness and auspicious peony pattern is auspicious and festive, and it was a necessary daily necessities for young people to get married at that time.
If the demand exceeds the supply, newcomers have to buy it with a marriage certificate. A set of 122 yuan, including 2 pots, 2 cups and 2 spittoons, can only be bought by ordinary people after saving money for half a year.
The imprint of these times, some are still popular today, while others leave with the wheel of history, leaving only mottled traces.
We miss that era, maybe we miss our parents who were still young at that time, and we miss playing together after school and growing up heartless. We miss the days when there was no internet. For a long time, letters were far away, and we could only love one person in our life.
May we all leave the rest of our lives and the teenagers return.
