It happened in the early 1990 s when the post-70 s just joined the work. Most employees of large state-owned enterprises that have just been completed and put into production are new employees, and the vision and growth needs of enterprises and employees are highly consistent. Therefore, although they are located on the rocky beach at the foot of Taihang Mountain, they can't stop the vitality and hope everywhere. At that time, the staff turnover rate was very low, and every once in a while, everyone would feel sorry for it.
At that time, everyone's work goals were the same, life content was simple, and there was no real pressure such as mortgage, children's education and medical care. Enterprises and living areas far away from the city seem to be a paradise. Colleagues not only focus on their eight-hour work, but also have a colorful spare time. The living area has various living facilities such as staff dining room, sports ground, ballroom and cultural palace. During the day, employees in the factory are sweating for various output indicators, and you are chasing each other between units. After dinner, active young people go to the ballroom to dance; If you like reading and writing, go to the Cultural Palace to study quietly and practice calligraphy. In the outdoor lighting stadium, there is always a half-court or full-court staff basketball game ... All kinds of cultural and sports activities organized by enterprise trade unions are full of talents, singing, drawing, writing and playing ball games. Many employees have reached the professional level in their hobbies.
In a few years, young employees got married and were assigned to dormitories or units with complete facilities in the enterprise living area. Everyone lives in a community, and close friends and colleagues like to visit. When you are not at work, you come to my house, and I come to your house to chat, share interesting things at work with each other, refer to new things at home ... chat, have a few drinks and play cards.
At that time, most young people were married naked. No matter what the conditions were, except for some family conditions, most of them came to this hot land with bedrolls after graduation from school and started from scratch. Some even got a marriage certificate and put two small wooden beds together in a building to make a wedding bed. I started with the wall, and then I got paid every month to buy some household items. I added a rice cooker this month and a tea set next month ... The days passed happily in the process of meeting my little expectations again and again.
Among our good friends, one of the hosts is a master at making noodles. When people want to eat noodles, they clamor to go to his house to eat together. When cooking, he will tell us to cook ribs first. After the ribs are cooked, steam the steamed noodles through the ribs soup, so that the steamed noodles are flexible and tasty. Another hostess is particularly good at making emblem faces, and the couple will arrange for everyone to have a full meal every once in a while. The smell of mushroom gravy drenched on the emblem is a delicious food that I will never forget.
One day more than ten years later, my son recommended the Korean drama Please Answer 1988 to me. He said, mom, wasn't it the same when I was a child? Aunt Zhang sent a plate of kimchi, Uncle Li took my dad to drink, and friends in front of the building played together ... Yes, the child's memory is correct. When children are crazy, adults will meet, stroll in the community garden and talk about their fireworks life in trivial ways.
At that time, the house we lived in was very small, and occasionally we fantasized about how good it would be to live in a big house in the future; At that time, we seldom went out to eat a big meal, and felt that one day we could eat whatever we wanted, and how happy we were. At that time, there was no online shopping, and friends and colleagues would get together regularly to visit the city and then come back to share their tasting. At that time, everyone went out by bus. As for the private car, it was a beautiful dream that flashed through my mind occasionally.
Later, a child was born. When each child is born, there will be several colleagues and friends with good relationships waiting in the hospital as family members until the mother and son are taken home. Because of their similar ages, children grew up together. Today, your child will laugh, tomorrow, my child will call her mother, and the child will happily pick up the clothes of the older child to wear. I remember one morning when I first entered the winter, my neighbor's little boy, a little older than my child, knocked at the door. When I opened the door, I saw that the child was holding two small cotton trousers in his hand, and inarticulate said that it was cold. Grandma asked me to send cotton trousers to my brother. Although the two children are running around, they are not inseparable from each other, as if they were brothers for many years.
When the children grow up, they begin to play together. The loud noise downstairs and the laughter in the corridor are almost endless. I wonder where they learned it. On Halloween, they dress up as strangers in groups and knock on doors for candy ... I used to think this life was normal and would last forever. However, time can't stay, and it flows eastward in an instant.
Later, the house became bigger, and many families moved out of the living area of the factory and settled in the city; When children grow up, they leave home to study. Private cars are not only popular, but also constantly upgraded; Eat more and drink more, and if you want to eat, you can often eat the big meals you wanted before; As long as time permits, travel has become the daily arrangement of all families ... However, the anxiety about children's schooling, the pressure of survival and the desire for a better life have gradually become the main colors of everyone's daily life. The carefree scene of getting together to eat noodles, the laughter of a group of children at the stairs, and the meeting with sisters in the community after dinner, talking about their parents' brief comfort ... have all become a thing of the past.
At that time, only Tao was ordinary, but it has been vicissitudes since I learned it. More than once, if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't expect the house to get bigger, the car to get higher grade, and the children to grow up as soon as possible, but I would cherish and enjoy every inch of time at that time, savor the days and walk unhurriedly to the present.
The past cannot be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased. Fortunately, middle-aged people still have a complete second half of their lives, which can better correct mistakes, make up for deficiencies and improve our lives.
I miss the past, cherish the present, and hope that when I look back in the future, I will only be calm and have no regrets.
