Jiaodong xuewozi

? In the east of Shandong, there is a river running through Laizhou Bay (Bohai Sea) and Jiaozhou Bay (Yellow Sea), which is called Jiaolai River. To the east of Jiaolai River are Weifang, Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai, commonly known as Jiaodong Peninsula.

? Yantai and Weihai at the eastern end of the peninsula are surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is a dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea from Yantai to Penglai on Long Island. Therefore, Yantai City spans two seas (Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea).

? Jiaodong Peninsula has four distinct seasons, with flowers in spring, green in summer, fruit in autumn and snow in winter. Adjusted by the marine climate, there is no heat in summer and no cold in winter.

? In Muping District of Yantai and Wendeng District of Weihai, there is a mountain-Kunyu Mountain. At an altitude of 924 meters, it is the highest peak in Jiaodong Peninsula.

Every winter, the strong cold air from northwest Asia goes south, carrying a large amount of water vapor evaporated from the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and is blocked by Kunyu Mountain, forming a whirling vortex, which is prone to snow. So Yantai and Weihai are famous snow nests in Jiaodong Peninsula.

? The snow nest in Jiaodong Peninsula is not a hollow name. As long as I can remember, every winter, the gates are closed by heavy snow, and the mountains are covered with thick snow, which will not melt until March 3 next spring.

? 1965, when I was six years old, it snowed all day and all night. I opened the door in the morning and saw that the snow was as high as the eaves, and the water tank at home was frozen with a thick layer of ice. Because the water tanks are made of porcelain or mud, I dare not break the ice. The well in the village can't get out, so everyone digs snow and puts it in the pot to wash their faces and cook.

? At that time, after the snowfall, every household had to clear the snow on the roof to prevent the house from collapsing. Every day when the snow melts, there are long icicles hanging on the eaves, which children like to eat very much. At that time, most people in rural areas lived in straw houses (built with mountain grass or wheat straw grass), and those with better conditions were half tiles, with grass above and tiles below. The straw house will be replaced in two or three years, and it will be much easier to replace it in half. The straw house was drenched with snow water, and the dripping water was colored. After forming icicles, it turned yellow and could not be eaten. A group of children came to the eaves of only seven pure tile families in the village with sticks. One of them knocks with a stick, the other picks with a hat, and then everyone shares it. At that time, people were not so particular about hygiene. In summer, when you are thirsty, you drink the water from the river in the ditch. In winter, you peel off the snow surface, hold it in your hands, knead it into a snow egg and eat it crunchily. However, to be honest, there was basically no pollution at that time.

? There was nothing to play when I was a child. In the world of ice and snow in winter, we found a place to play. Slide on the pond ice or snow-covered slope, make a snowman, have a snowball fight with snow eggs as weapons, and play hide-and-seek in the vast snowfield. At that time, they were all wearing hollow cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and they were not too cold about frozen hands and feet, frostbite on their faces and ears.

? People with good family conditions can wear a pair of cotton shoes in winter, and those with poor family circumstances can wear Puwo or Gadazi (sewing leather under Puwo and nailing boards on Gadazi). Usually a pair of rubber shoes are sent away in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Some people prepare two pieces of pigskin, soak them in salt water to soften them, tear the corn skin into thin strips, put them in pigskin, and then help them wear them on their feet with ropes, which keeps them warm and keeps up, making walking very exciting. Wear it all winter. When the weather gets warmer, rinse it with clean water, dry it and wear it next year. At that time, the village called tie, which was economical and practical.

? Jiaodong has the custom of visiting relatives in the first month. On the second day of the first grade, I worship menstruation, and on the fourth day of the third grade, I worship my grandmother (uncle, aunt). My grandmother is from her own village, and three of her four aunts are from other villages. As long as I can remember, my family has arranged to visit my older relatives in my aunt's village and take me with them. At that time, the conditions were not good and there were no other means of transportation. I had to walk in the snow for a long time on two legs. Everyone carries a basket or box and puts four jujube cakes, fried noodles and fish as gifts. When I come back, my relatives will change to their pasta, and I will try it for a change. The elders also give the younger generation lucky money, usually 20 cents, and the noodles are 50 cents. After visiting relatives in the first month, friends get together to compare lucky money. My second aunt married far away, 20 miles away from my village, and it is a mountainous area. Tired of walking on the road, I go to the snow ditch to find a place to shelter from the wind. When I am thirsty, I eat snow. Sometimes when I am hungry, I open the box and steal some fried meatballs.

? When I was six years old, I got a sore on my chest and it became very thick. My father was reluctant to leave work, so I asked my uncle who went to school to take me to the commune health center on Sunday. I can't walk in the snow, my uncle is carrying me. When he is tired from walking, he wants to have a rest. There was no shelter, so he sat behind the Nanchang Martyrs Monument in my village and had a rest. At that time, I couldn't read, so my uncle read me the inscription and told me the heroic deeds of the martyrs.

? In the 1970s, the whole country learned from Dazhai, treating slopes first, then building nests, building water conservancy projects, breaking reservoirs and renovating Dazhai fields everywhere. Idle in winter, commune organizations and members are all concentrated, braving the snow and fighting against the wind. I saw red flags everywhere in the vast snow, and people pried open the frozen soil and worked hard. On rainy days, members can have a rest. If it snows, they won't delay their work. In winter, they have to work until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. On the fifth day of the first month, I began to work.

1978 After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the people's commune was dissolved, the land was distributed to individuals, and they decided to arrange their own cultivation and harvest. In winter, the mountains are closed by heavy snow, so people can stay at home for the winter. Snowflakes are falling outside, and the home is warm and harmonious. Watching TV, hanging a door and pulling a melon, and recuperating for more than 30 years, ordinary people also enjoy it.

? In the eighties and nineties, with the development of science and technology, plastic greenhouses were born, and vegetables and fruits can also be planted in winter. Some hard-working people, with the help and support of the government, buckle greenhouses and grow vegetables and fruits. Greenhouse is most afraid of heavy snow, one is that there is no light to cool down, and the other is that heavy snow can crush the greenhouse. Therefore, every snowy day, vegetable farmers should make a fire in the shed to keep warm, and at the same time constantly clean up the snow on the shed.

? 1990 1 1 at the end of the month, I worked in Zhaoyuan county government office, and went to Yantai Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee to report materials with comrades from the county party committee office and the county people's congress office. Director Luan of Yantai People's Congress listened to and reviewed Zhaoyuan's supporting speech materials in the afternoon, and it was already dark at the end. Director Luan said earnestly that the comrades from afar should stay for dinner before leaving. It began to snow in Yantai at night. After we finished eating, the snow didn't reach our ankles. The leader of Yantai Municipal People's Congress Office said that the road was unsafe with such heavy snow. Please stay and leave tomorrow. I woke up the next morning and saw that the snow was more than a foot thick, so I couldn't walk if I wanted to. We didn't bring warm clothes. We saw several clothes vendors in the snow in front of the Hongkou Hotel where we lived. I spent thirteen yuan on a seahorse hair dress. At that time, there was no snow blower, and three packages were carried out in front of the unit. After the snow stopped, the snow on the road was suddenly cleaned up. There are still people clearing the snow in the city, so we have to wait for God to melt the snow on the expressway. After a snow, it will not melt for more than ten days. In winter, large and small vehicles are equipped with snow chains.

? We stayed in Hongkou Hotel for two days and had an eight-course working meal, but there was no wine. Wang Xianweiban went to the store at the door and bought a bottle of 1 yuan and 80 cents of sorghum, and everyone rushed to drink it. Trapped by the heavy snow, we bought four decks of poker to kill time. Six people is enough, one person is idle and bored, and seven people play royalists.

? On the third day, the weather cleared up and we hit the road again. There are few cars on the road, and there is nothing urgent. You won't be on the road in this weather. I remember seeing an imported Citroen car on the road. The chassis can be lifted and lowered, and it is also the forerunner. We all envy it for running forward on the gas pedal. We took a Japanese bully van with rear-wheel drive. When we met a small slope, we couldn't climb it. There are many of us, so we will get off and push forward. We can't park our car in the snow. When we started, the tires were spinning in the same place. Fortunately, the van is a sliding door. After we pushed the car to start, we jumped on the car one by one and closed the door. Everyone said wryly, we have all become snow guerrillas.

? I drove for six or seven hours and only walked more than 50 kilometers. On the hillside road near Penglai County, I saw a bus trapped there. The driver is afraid to drive anything. I asked the driver passing by Penglai for help and took the passengers to the city to settle down. He looked at the car. Seeing that it was difficult to get back to Zhaoyuan, we found the Penglai Municipal People's Congress Office and arranged for us to stay for one night. On the fourth day, we ran for more than five hours on the road and returned to Zhaoyuan in the afternoon.

? With the rapid development of society, people's ability to cope with harsh climatic environments such as ice and snow has been continuously improved, and snowmelt agents and various cleaning machinery and equipment are readily available. Especially in the urban area, the edge and bottom have been basically cleared, and the snow removal guarantee of the expressway is in place. People in Xuewozi in Jiaodong no longer have to worry about traveling in snowy days.

? Come to Jiaodong to enjoy the snow in winter. It's not very cold, but you can have a good time. Xuewozi has become a major tourist attraction.
