700 words of those childhood moments that can’t be returned to

I can’t go back

Time is like water,

The place it flows through,

is our life,

Short and beautiful.

Spring is finally here, the sun is shining brightly and the world is warm.

After taking off the thick winter clothes that I had been wearing for a season, my body is relaxed, my mood is relaxed, and I don’t feel depressed.

This feeling is just right, neither cold nor hot, the warm sunshine shines on my body, as if I am in the warm embrace of my lover. My son reported to school today, and because he didn't know what time he would be leaving, he waited by the road

With such beautiful weather, of course he didn't want to sit in the car and wait around. Leaning slantedly on the trunk of a tall plane tree by the roadside, facing the sun, a long-lost warmth passed through my heart.

When my son goes to kindergarten, it is quite close to home, and his mother or lover usually picks him up and drops him off.

I was also busy at that time, and my work was not punctual, so I rarely went to school to pick up or drop off. Whenever I passed by the school

when I passed by the gate, I would see many parents surrounding the school gate. Strange, there are so many people?

Isn’t it just for the children to get out of school? It is necessary to mobilize teachers and mobilize people to block the schools and roads

.

Now that I pick up and drop off children every day, I understand that children are the treasures in the hands of parents

There is no room for any suddenness or carelessness. Most of today's families only have one child, who is loved by thousands of people. How can he not be pampered and pampered? What is the purpose of life? I still don’t want my children to grow up happily, to be successful when they grow up, and to have their parents and relatives in good health. As for yourself, if you suffer any loss, you will suffer a little. If you suffer a little, you will suffer a little. People are born to endure hardship. Can you create conditions without suffering?

Can you have conditions to be happy? Well, as long as your loved ones are happy, you will be happy too.

I often wait at the school gate for my son to finish school. I am never in a hurry and am very patient while waiting.

While waiting, you can lay down in the car and listen to music, news, or read a book.

My book in the car is essential. I read it while waiting for someone or in a traffic jam. When I read a book while waiting

I feel very calm and I read carefully because I have nowhere to go and nothing to do

. At this time my mood is very simple and I have no choice. , natural and simple.

Waiting is also a kind of happiness, as if guarding a flower in bloom, you can touch the beautiful

future.

Standing in the sunshine, many thoughts and past events come slowly. The details that are usually overlooked and covered by life

will be infinitely magnified in the still sunshine. The numb heart seems to come alive. Listening carefully, flowers are blooming in the distance, and waves of fragrance are coming.

I remembered some of my experiences studying when I was a child. When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside

I spent my childhood there and didn’t leave until I entered junior high school. The school is at the junction of our village and another village. It is about four miles away from home. I want to start from the southernmost end of the village and pass through every village in the village. A small production team passes through fields, villages, and along winding paths in the countryside

Listening to the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, and smelling the fragrance of crops, vegetation and flowers along the way, they are in the sunshine every day

< p>Arrived and returned in the dusk. The sky at that time was really blue and the sunset was brilliant. Because it is a bit far away, I have to get up early every day and walk with my friends. There are very few people who arrive late. When I was a child, my grades were very good. I was always the squad leader, and I had to lead by example. Maybe it was also

Since I was a child, I have developed the habit of preparing in advance. I would rather go a little earlier and spend more

< p>I don’t like being late when I’m ready, and that’s still the case now.

Some habits are developed since childhood and cannot be changed until old age. So people say,

Children should be raised from childhood and develop good habits, which will be beneficial throughout their lives.

When I was a child, my family conditions were not very good. Because of my parents’ disagreement, my father often

did not give us tuition fees. I remember that when I was in the third grade, I was only ten years old. I took a car from my hometown alone and traveled two days and one night to my father's work to collect tuition fees. The road at that time was very difficult. I started from home, walked to the town, took a bus, then took a long-distance bus, then transferred to a train, and once I even took a ship. . Every time I took a boat ride in my life, I thought it was so big, so huge, so magical, and so interesting. But now it seems like it’s just a boat trip. , how big can it be. But at that time, in the eyes of children, it was very rare. On the way

I had to take several buses and finally take a train. There was only one train to my father's work every day

so I arrived at dusk every time. The journey isn’t too far, it’s more than 300 kilometers. It takes seven or eight turns along the way, which can be dizzying. It’s much faster now, and you can drive day by day. to.

At that time, I was young, about 1.2 meters tall, and I actually had to buy a ticket. But who cares about a child? I would take advantage of every opportunity. To this day, I still remember that at Hengyang Railway Station.

How did you escape? At that time, there were rows of dark green iron railings at the ticket gates.

The gaps were quite big. As a kid, I was very thin. I squeezed through the gaps between the iron railings and put my head first.

Go through it and squeeze through. Anyway, I didn't buy a ticket along the way. I only brought a little money to buy steamed buns to eat on the way. When I felt sleepy at night, I slept on a bench in the train waiting room. I remember

When I arrived at my father's work, my father was very surprised and asked me how I came here. I told my father very proudly

I came alone. My father was surprised. Opened his mouth.

Children today are so precious that they follow them everywhere for fear of losing them or getting lost. At that time, living conditions were not good and there were many children at home. Who could take care of so many children? Children are like grass. If you leave them there, they will sprout and grow grass. Those born and raised will be happy and healthy. Now that conditions are better, everyone cares about their children and cherishes them as babies, but they have lost a lot of happiness and freedom. I stay locked at home after school every day, either playing on the computer or watching TV.

I can't see the sun, can't see the grass, can't play in the mud, can't catch the earth's energy. So today's children are not as lively, happy, and healthy as we were back then.

Children are like grass, they should grow up happily, without restraint and naturally.

Later, when I was one year older and in fourth grade, I made a wooden box by myself. The box is square

about 30 centimeters high, 40 centimeters wide, and about 60 centimeters long. The inside of the box is wrapped in plastic film and pinned with cotton. . The cotton was taken out of old cotton clothes that were not being used at home. The straps were made from a military belt with a broken belt but the belt was still in good condition. When I was a child, that kind of military belt was used. It is very popular and can be found in almost every household. The belt is firmly nailed to both ends of the carriage, which is very strong and easy to use. Every morning I go to a small town 6 miles away to buy goods. I usually buy about 60 sticks at a time. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them if there are too many. I can't carry too many. There are only two kinds of popsicles, white sugar popsicles and mung bean popsicles. White sugar popsicles cost 2.5 cents

Buy them for 3 cents. Mung bean popsicles cost 4 cents. Buy them for 5 cents. You can earn money for mung bean popsicles

p>

More but fewer people buy. Therefore, every time I buy 50 sticks of white sugar and only 10 sticks of mung beans

In addition, for every 10 sticks I buy, the ice factory also gives me 1 stick, so there are 66 sticks in one box.

It's quite heavy to carry.

When you go to purchase goods, it depends on the weather. The hotter the weather and the brighter the sun, the better the popsicles will sell.

The biggest fear is that it suddenly rains heavily, and it will be over. Everyone will take shelter from the rain. If it rains again, the weather will be cold. Who will buy it? I remember it happened once. It rained suddenly, and there were more than 20 sticks left. My grandfather and I had frozen cheeks from eating them. In the end, we had to hide them in the big box.

In the porcelain bowl, it turned into ice water and drank. I feel bad, it was bought with money. Not only did that box of popsicles not make any money, but I also lost money. Haha, this must be the first time in my life that I lost money in business.

It’s funny when I think about it now, but I felt distressed for several days at the time.

Usually I go to a small town to buy goods and go back to several nearby villages to sell popsicles. In fact, other villages can also be sold. It’s not that you are timid, but there are too many dogs in the village. Children who have never been to the countryside

don’t understand. There are many and fierce dogs in the countryside, especially the large and black ones

If I force you In front of him, he looked like a little tiger. I still remember that on a road that we had to pass to go to school, that family had a big black dog that barked wildly every time he saw us. Yelling, extremely flamboyant. It's better if there are a lot of people. It just barks. If a person passes by, it will definitely crush your butt and bite you. So, if I go there alone to go to school or sell food, Popsicle, I would rather go a little further away and avoid it.

There is a trick to selling popsicles, you have to watch the people and the sky. When the weather is hot and the sun is strong, you can buy more

stocks. If you see adults with children, don’t leave and shout loudly. You have to walk around anyway

If you are going back and forth, you can buy other adults' popsicles first. The children will definitely look at your ice popsicle eagerly, cry and clamor for them. In the end, the adults will definitely buy them for the children.

. I've experienced this a lot, and it works nine times out of ten. In addition, you can't get into the crowd. There are too many people and no one wants to pay for others to eat. You have to find opportunities to spread them out and buy them one by one.

Generally speaking, during the summer vacation, when crops are being planted in rural areas, people are working hard in the fields. The weather is hot, there are many mosquitoes in the rice fields, and the whole body feels itchy and hot.

At this time

I love eating popsicles the most. As long as you go there, you can get a pass. Sometimes a box of popsicles is sold out in just a few

houses. At most, I sold three cars in one day. Everyone was exhausted, and the weather was so hot. I couldn't bear to eat, and I wished I could sell them all. At that time, I had not read the text "The Charcoal Seller", but I understood the truth. The charcoal seller was worried about the price of charcoal and wished the weather would be cold. I

was willing It’s so hot that ice is sold. Haha, now that I think about it, I feel quite happy. It was really hard and tiring at that time. I carried a wooden box on my little body and walked back and forth under the scorching sun. Isn’t it hard?

. But being able to make money, walking around, seeing different people, and socializing with different people is also very happy.

The most relaxing thing is that after selling the popsicles, I went home and plunged into the pond in front of my house

My whole body sank to the bottom of the water. I repeated it several times. People feel refreshed. Why do you need to plunge into the bottom of the water? People who have not experienced it will not understand. When the sun is strong, the water surface is also very hot, and touching the skin is like touching boiling water. . The deeper you sink, the cooler the water becomes. You can lie down at the bottom of the water

and hear many sounds that you can’t usually hear, including the sound of fish eating grass and fish rolling on the surface of the water

>

The sound of water flowing in and out, or the sound of water pressing against the eardrums.

If you open your eyes, your eyes will be dim and the water will press on your eyeballs, making them sting a little. If you are lucky, you can see fish swimming past your eyes. The feeling of coming one after another is very fresh

After killing the crops, the fields are clean, and the rice seedlings are still soft and weak, taking up no

space in the fields. The whole field looked empty and vast. At this time, frogs, loaches and eels

have no place to hide, so it is best to catch them. There are ready-made tools for catching loaches, which are divided into two types: clips and inserts. The clips are made of iron, short and easy to use, but the farther ones are out of reach. The insert is also made of iron and is in a slender V shape with a thin slit in the middle. It can be inserted just enough to catch the loach. There is a round hole at the bottom of the plug, which is used to hold wooden sticks. You can install a suitable stick according to your height. In this way, you can stick a loach farther away.

No, I can’t stand looking at the loach.

There are also some supporting tools that are indispensable, such as a cover for frogs, and wire

Wrap it in a circle, leave a handle and tie it to a wooden stick, and tie it to the circle. The sleeve is a plastic mesh bag commonly used at that time. (A plastic mesh bag that is tightened into a thread and opened quite wide

and can hold a lot of things). The new plastic mesh bag must not be used

< p>, only the kind that has been used, the ones that are wide open are suitable for covering frogs and letting them jump around inside.

There are also lighting tools that are indispensable. At that time, we couldn’t buy control lights like the ones used by miners. Even if we had them, we couldn’t afford them. How much money could a child make when going out?

Adults don’t buy them, so they have to make them themselves. Tie old cotton batting to one end of the wooden stick and tie it tightly with iron wire. When tying, be sure to wrap it several times so that it is strong and durable. Use canned fruit bottles to fill with kerosene, wrap a few turns of wire around the mouth of the can,

then extend two wires of average length upward and wrap them around a wooden stick, and you're good to go. After

lighting it, the fire is quite big, the smoke is also quite big, and there is also some pungent and choking smell after burning refined oil, but

it can illuminate several square meters around. What kind of frogs and loaches have nowhere to hide under the bright lights?

If you look at it from a distance, you can see clusters of lights floating in the dark fields, like huge fireflies.

We don't need to get close to know that someone is being arrested in that direction

This way we can switch to another route to avoid repeating the situation and not being arrested. This was the first one I started using. Later, when I made money, I bought a flashlight. It was much more convenient, but I lost the feeling of bright lights. Children love to play with fire, and they always feel that they have lost a sense of fun. Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you gain something, you will lose it. It is impossible to have it all

You want to have everything.

Usually after dinner in the evening, a few people go together, including me as a child. Every time

you have to be led by an adult, because sometimes you have to go far away, to other villages

to capture, and it’s so dark that you can’t find the way. Besides, I am afraid of accidents. Because I was young,

I caught smaller ones. However, there were times when I was lucky. There were times when I surpassed them

and caught more than them. , then I will be very happy and feel that I am no worse than adults.

When catching a loach, you must have a steady hand, aim accurately, and hit it with one blow, otherwise, the loach will run away

or get into the hole, and there will basically be no chance of catching it. Second chance.

The eel is clumsy,

Even if you pinch it, it will not enter the hole or run far away, and basically never misses.

However, when I was young, I didn’t know what was nutritious or not. I only knew that eels were not good-looking

and not easy to sell. But now, they would be easy to sell.

Catch the frogs before and after killing the crops. Before killing the crops, there were a lot of insects at that time, and frogs were everywhere in the fields

However, because of crop obstacles, it was difficult to stay. After killing the crops, the frogs no longer stayed in the fields. They all ran into ditches, ponds, channels, or riversides and weeds. In summer, the countryside is full of frogs croaking one after another. The whole field and the whole village are full of frogs. It was at that time that I learned to imitate the croaking of frogs. They look similar, very similar in spirit.

Frogs are easy to find. You can hear their cries from a long distance and follow the sound.

Frogs are very clever. You have to be gentle and make some noise if you don’t pay attention. Then it will stop croaking

and you won’t be able to find its location. If you If you catch them blindly and randomly, I guarantee that you won't be able to stay alone all night.

If you find its location, calm down first, observe the situation around it, and then think of a plan before taking action. First of all, you have to approach it gently

and don't let it find it before you can reach it, otherwise, it will jump

and walk away. When you reach the position where you can reach and catch, first stabilize yourself and calculate the best angle of attack

Slowly hang the condom directly above the frog, and then cover it decisively and quickly

p>

Go down. Success or failure depends on the speed and luck of the shot. If the cover fails, it will be declared as a capture failure. There is basically no possibility of a second capture, not even the surrounding frogs< /p>

There is a possibility of arrest. Generally speaking, a night out lasts about 3 hours. I had no concept of time at that time. This is what I have made an appointment with now. Anyway, the one who takes the lead is not good at catching it every time.

< p>There are not many left, so go home. There were so many frogs at that time.

Although I am quite tired every time I go out for so long, but I am very happy and joyful

. Firstly, you can make money and support your family after paying the tuition. Secondly, you can kill time

and get close to nature. When going to the mountains and fields, the biggest fear is encountering snakes. It is too scary for children, but it is easy for adults to deal with them. One time, I was walking in front. Because I was looking for frogs everywhere and it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, I didn't notice a snake beside my body. When others found out and told me, I was only about 2 meters away from the snake. The snake was quite big, green and yellow. Its whole body was coiled together, and its head was high. The tall one is spitting out pink and tender letters, and the branches are branching out, as if they are going to attack me. I was so scared that my whole body froze, and I didn’t dare to move stupidly.

Actually, this is right. The snake will not attack you if you don’t move. If you turn around and run away, the snake will definitely

>

It will pounce on you and bite you. Later, an adult came up to relieve the siege and drove them away with a long frog fishing pole. I was so scared that my hands and feet became weak and I broke out in a cold sweat. Since that time, I have been very cautious

very careful and rarely go to the front.

Every time I catch loaches and eels, I put them in a large basin and pour water to keep them. Don't

let them dry out. The live ones are bought at a higher price, while the dead ones are usually picked out and eaten as delicacies at home.

Anyway, frogs and loaches are eaten throughout the summer, and they are extremely sweet. Loach can be made

in several flavors, with different ingredients, including stir-fried, steamed, and fried. It can

be cut into segments or whole. Eat the whole one, anyway, the loach is not big, you can open your mouth, stuff it into your mouth in one bite, and chew it full of flavor. Frogs are usually fried, served with fiery red chili peppers, and served on the dinner table. The aroma fills the room and can be smelled from afar. Sometimes, the caught frogs and loaches are taken to the town to be sold by others, and they are weighed at home, and the adults sell them and give them money. Because you have to deduct the dead parts, moisture and other things, and you don’t know what the price will be on that day. Anyway, others have the final say, so I feel a bit of a loss, so I go to the town to sell it myself

Twice. The big town is more than ten miles away from home, and we have to go to the market every five and ten days. When we go to the market, there are people everywhere, buying and selling things. It is noisy, like a huge

The water pot is boiling, and it is boiling. In my young eyes at that time, it was considered prosperous,

However, I went to my father's work since I was a child, saw a lot of the world, passed through several cities, and felt in my heart

Not afraid either. It's just that I'm too young, don't know how to do business, and I don't have a scale. It's inconvenient to always ask others for it. I only went twice, and then I never went again. It was too tiring.

It felt more strenuous than arresting myself. In fact, someone in the village also bought them, but the price was lower

But it was convenient, so I let them take them away, which saves trouble.

In a year, there are two months of vacation in the summer. If you work hard, you can earn a few

Ten yuan. I have forgotten how much I earned. Anyway, I made a lot of money. All the money I got was given to my mother

. Now I only remember some general outlines and have forgotten all the specific details. But when I think about it carefully under the sun, I suddenly feel so clear again. Time is like water, and time is like a knife. For the years, nothing can resist it. Everything gradually becomes blurred and gradually forgotten in the distant years. It's been too long, and I don't know what I felt at that time. I just remember that my mother smiled happily, and I was very happy counting the little bits and pieces every day.

Life is not about having something, it is not necessarily about reaching your ideal height. As long as you work hard and live a down-to-earth life, your experience will be a blessing.

The sun shines warmly on me, and my thoughts are spreading endlessly, penetrating through the years, and I

as if I have suddenly returned to the past. The past that has been forgotten for many years flows through our eyes like water in the sunshine. Life is a process, no matter the suffering or beauty, it confirms our life. When I look back suddenly, those bitter days also feel sweet.

Decades of life, decades of running.

Looking back at that moment, I suddenly felt like I was alive.
