"Work points? What can it be used for? " Xiaokang asked doubtfully.
"It is used to exchange food and something to eat," Grandpa Kang carefully explained to Xiaokang. "That was the case in those years."
Grandpa Kang remembered those years, and his heart was mixed. For a long time, it seems that he can only say one word "bitter".
"The pain of poverty. Not lazy, not because of work, just because of the times. The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, born in the countryside by a hoe. At that time, the fields belonged to the' team', and collective labor meant hard work. There is always endless work in a day, and hard work is for that bite of rice and to support the family. Later, many young people left their homes to make a living in big cities. If there are no migrant workers at home, it must be that the whole family goes out to work in the fields, adults do basic manual work, and children do odd jobs with them. Entertainment means you go to the fields, you and I get together, you splash me and I splash you. Sometimes on the ridge, you may see a boy of 14 years old waddling by with two vats half full of water. You want to ask him,' son, why don't you go to school?' "
"yes! Why doesn't he go to school? " A well-off scrambled to ask.
"You child, listen to me slowly." Grandpa Kang picked up the white paint mug with the word "Struggle" printed on the glass table of the Eight Immortals, took a sip of water and continued to preach.
"Why don't you go to school? Who doesn't want to go to school? Going to school is the least painful thing. But how can school be so easy? There is no school, no bus stop and no taxi nearby. If you want to go to school, you have to climb mountains and mountains. If it rains, when I get to school, I walk like a stiff clay figurine. The road is far less important. The mountains are bumpy, the roads are rugged, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. These are the most bitter. However, no matter how many difficulties there are, it is not difficult for people who really study. The greater difficulties may be family conditions and thoughts. At that time, adults at home always thought that learning was useless, and earning money through labor was the biggest. So reading is actually bitter. "
Life at that time seemed to have untold hardships, but with the development of the times and social changes, the country's eyes saw the countryside, wanted to develop the countryside, and let ordinary people live a better life without suffering, so it began a poverty alleviation plan.
It will be impossible to put the plan into practice, and countless people will bear the burden, even at the cost of their lives. "We believe in the country and the party, and we are willing to do our best to cooperate well. I hope it will be in the near future! " People say so. "The times are authors, we are respondents, and the people are commentators. It is the historical mission of a generation of party member cadres to write the answers to win the battle against poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way on the land of China, which can stand the test in this historic exam and strive to hand over new and better answers to history and the people. It is also the supreme glory. " That's what they say: when your toes touch the ground, it must be a road of no return, with mountains on your shoulders and iron under your feet. The people's hope is their driving force.
"What happened later?" Xiaokang asked.
"Later, with the advancement of the plan and the high participation of the people, the days are getting better and better!"
"Just like now, we are all well-off, just like my name!" Xiaokang said.
"Yes, everyone has a good life. Even farm work is not as tiring as it used to be. Everyone has his own income, so don't worry about not having enough to eat. But well-off, we all have to remember that' drinking water does not forget to dig people'. " Grandpa Kang said.
Xiaokang stood up and ran out of the door, shouting, "I know!" " "
Grandpa Kang looked at the well-off figure and the scenery outside the hospital. The golden wheat in the field was quickly taken away by the machine. On the cement road, many young people get together to chat. On the broad ridge, there are students playing with schoolbags. The farthest green field was occupied by experts to do experiments. There were several bright red characters standing in the field-"Struggle for a Well-off Society!" Looking at these, Grandpa Kang couldn't help laughing. There are countless stories in the wrinkles around his eyes, which are unspeakable comfort and gentleness. (Author | Penny Middle School Class 16 Liao)
