What kind of memory did the winter in Wuhan leave you?

One of my classmates is from Jilin. He went to school in Wuhan and didn't go home to live in Wuhan during the winter vacation. After school started, he met us and said that the thieves in Wuhan were cold and froze me to death. I was surprised and asked, it's impossible. It's MINUS 20 degrees in winter in your place, and it's only about zero in Wuhan. How can it be colder than yours? This classmate said that although the temperature in Jilin is low, it is dry, with a kang indoors and a coat when going out, which is basically not cold. It's so humid in Wuhan that it's freezing cold in winter, so it's useless to wear any clothes. From then on, we know that the winter in Wuhan is colder than that in the northeast. Ha ha laugh

I remember when I was a college student in Wuhan, it was very cold in winter and it snowed heavily. The students are happy to take pictures of the snow. After the ice and snow melt, the water in the ground puddle freezes, and the distance from the dormitory to the canteen is less than 100 meter. The water in the washed rice bowl will freeze into ice. The outdoor faucet wraps the whole exposed water pipe with thick straw rope, otherwise the water will freeze and not flow out. Accustomed to taking a cold bath, the tap water sprayed in the bathroom drenched my head and made my scalp numb with cold. That year, my ears, hands and feet were particularly frostbitten, and my feet were worn out by shoes.

Young people wear thin clothes and shirts, it's not cold!

It's freezing. As a northerner, I thought I could wear a small cotton-padded jacket, but my legs trembled with cold, so I had to put on a long coat, cotton-padded jacket and down jacket, tie a scarf around my neck, put on earmuffs and put on a hat.

Shit, who told me it's warm in winter in the south? Who am I worried about? And it will rain from time to time, and it will rain in winter. Alas, the hands holding umbrellas are stiff, so I bought gloves silently, at least warmer.

Winter in Wuhan is too cold. 198965438+In February, my comrades and I went to Xiantao City near Wuhan to pick up new recruits. We are wearing cotton-padded clothes configured in the northern region. We thought there would be no problem when we arrived in Jiangnan, but Wuhan and Xiantao have no air conditioning and heating, and it is cloudy and humid every day. The quilt in the hotel is very wet, especially it is very cold indoors and outdoors, which really makes people who have just arrived here unbearable.

1983 There was a heavy snow in Wuhan in winter. That year was not only a year of heavy snow, but also a year of bumper harvest.

Shortly after joining the work, I was assigned to the working group of Xijiaohu Farm in Wuhan. There are four people in the working group: Xiao Liu, who just joined the company, and two retired veteran comrades.

Lao Sun was rehired and arranged to be the head of the working group. Before I retired, I was the director of the big business office, and I was old party member. I am very serious and responsible for my work, so others nicknamed him "Fang Shi". There is more respect in banter.

I remember that before I got up early that morning, I heard Xiao Liu shouting outside: The snow is closed ... I rushed out, and the world was really white, and there was a thick layer of snow on the steps at the door of the business office.

Xiao Liu and I were so happy that while cleaning the snow at the door, we piled a big snow doll on the open space in front of the door.

In the afternoon, I said, you two get ready, and in the evening, you and I will go to the original seed brigade income library. The two of us are excited again. A few days ago, I heard from my grandson that the production team should cash in at the end of the year, and we should scramble to absorb deposits.

In the past, Lao Sun often told us about the satchel bank (carrying a satchel to the countryside to deposit and loan). He was very curious and hoped to experience it for himself.

After dinner, we rushed to the original seed brigade with abacus, deposit slip, note and other items. The brigade is four kilometers away from the working group. There are dense snowflakes in the sky, and the roads are covered with thick snow. We can't ride a bike, so we have to walk. Xiao Liu and I are young, walking around all the way, unable to restrain our inner excitement.

I walked a little hard, but it wasn't all because of his age. He has severe rheumatism and often hurts his legs. I saw him wearing thick cotton leggings on his legs in summer.

We said, director sun, you go home, and we won't talk about it. I don't know, I said seriously, that won't do. You are just inexperienced, and purchasing and warehousing is not like doing business in an office at ordinary times. A lot of money is no joke.

Look at my serious posture, we dare not persuade again. Stumbling to the original seed brigade, I found the captain's house.

The captain's house has three rooms, but it is very old. Several rooms in the hall are lit with a small light bulb, and the light is very dim. The captain saw us and quickly asked his wife to make poached eggs for us.

Eric kept a straight face and refused to cook. The captain had to give up and led us to the team site. As we walked, we said that this year would be fine, and farmers' enthusiasm for farming was quite high after production quotas was settled. A worker can get an average of 1000 yuan at the end of the year after handing over the public grain and all kinds of retention. There is a bachelor of more than 200,000!

Xiao Liu and I just listened and felt really rich, because at that time our monthly salary was only 34 yuan.

We walked into the warehouse of the brigade headquarters and were immediately surrounded by steaming scenes. On the desk in the middle of the warehouse, there are beaming farmers. They watch the accountant and cashier do the final inventory at the table, and then pay cash after the money is reconciled.

The festive scene immediately infected us. This time, I have been telling farmers about the significance and policies of saving. He explained it in simple language, and the farmers nodded and listened.

Finally began to cash in, and every time the accountant called a name, there was a cheerful response. They stamped their private seals on the accounting books, happily took over a pile of banknotes and counted their plans. Some people say they will add some new clothes for China New Year ... Others say they will buy TV next year. The farmer who said this was very brave and enviable.

Xiao Liu and I got busy right away. I write a deposit slip, and he collects money, which is very tacit. A farmer just handed the money to Xiao Liu, and he took it back. He said in his hand that he had never touched so much money, which made me happy again! That expression made everyone present laugh. ...

In this cheerful atmosphere, time flies and I don't feel cold. It was nearly midnight when the last deposit was collected.

Walking on the country road back to the working group, the sky is still covered with heavy snow.

The night sky was gray against the backdrop of snowflakes. Xiao Liu and I walked with heavy bags on our backs, feeling warm and full of joy. Eric and the accounting captain who escorted us talked about the interesting story of bumper harvest, and the laughter spread far and clearly in the snow. ...

That winter in Wuhan, accompanied by the past of purchasing and storing on a snowy night, will remain in my memory forever.

In a blink of an eye for decades, things have changed, and my old grandson died long ago, and Liu Ye Jr. left the financial world long ago. And I also changed from a little girl who just entered the workplace to a retired aunt.

I miss the rare heavy snow, and I miss the simple folk customs of that era. ...

Did the winter in Wuhan leave such memories for yourself?

The wind is biting in winter in Wuhan. It's very cold and I don't want to get up in the morning. There must be a lot of people who don't believe it. Indeed, this cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. The only way to empathize is to experience the questioner on the spot. But think about it, the winter after growing up seems to be much warmer than when I was a child! In those days, you basically walked when you went out, and of course you didn't shake when you came in. Do you still remember how Wuhan spent the winter?

Pickled fish and bacon

Many young people may have no memory of the lively scene of Wuhan people drying salted fish and meat in those days.

On balconies, clothes hangers in yards, and even in markets, randomly built lines and telephone poles are full of pickled goods. Grass carp, herring, pork belly, duck and pig's trotters are preferred. Wuhan people are experts in pickled products. Only unexpected things can't be preserved.

Light the stove

As soon as the weather turns cold, you should take out the dusty stove, build a chimney, pile up coal and prepare fire chopsticks. When you start the stove, the room will be much warmer.

Which of the four stoves have you played with? Fire stick, fire hook, fire tongs, fire shovel.

If you add a handful of peanuts and some sweet potatoes, the whole room will be filled with warm fragrance, which will be a kind of beauty!

Bath soup

In Wuhan, there was a life called rubbing bath the previous winter, and there was a bathroom called bathhouse!

When I was a child, I couldn't take a bath at home, so I went to the bathhouse. Tickets for bathing are two yuan each. If you take a dip in the bathhouse, you will feel warm all over. When the water is not hot, shout a voice, and the master will quickly add coal.

Now the post-90s generation can't enjoy this enthusiasm, and even many young girls think that the bath hall is the exclusive welfare of northerners!

Have a snowball fight and make a snowman

At that time, snowball fights and snowmen were one of the recreational activities in winter.

It doesn't snow easily in Wuhan, but it melts easily. As soon as the snow stops, parents can hardly stop it. I made an appointment with three or five friends to make a phone call in the snow. Suddenly, their collars were stuffed into a snowball by their friends, and they got wet. When they were tired, they began to make a snowman.

Ice flowers on the window

In the cold winter, there is a unique scenery, that is, the ice flowers that appear on the balcony glass window every day, which are very beautiful ... Hatch "paints" on the glass with his hands. In the morning, gorgeous ice flowers are as beautiful as a kaleidoscope under the sunlight. Now every household turns on air conditioning or even heating, and there are no more ice flowers on the windows.

vanishing cream

This was the favorite of girls in Wuhan at that time, and a fragrance filled the whole childhood memory. Now there are names such as "Friendship", "Baique Ling" and "Colorful", which have a pungent and familiar smell, but you have to admire the strong vitality of these brands.

Clam oil

Hands and feet will be particularly dry in winter, and clam shell oil is definitely a good product to prevent chapping in winter, so the careful maintenance of hands depends on it.

Mama brand sweater

Wearing a sweater knitted by my mother in winter is beautiful in my heart! Feeling is the warmest clothes in the world.

In the past, mothers were very clever. They always accumulate a lot of wool and sweaters for their children in winter. The sweaters knitted by mothers themselves are thick and warm, with many patterns on them.

army overcoat

In the era when there is no heating, you can only rely on wearing more. In those days, military coats were also standard.

Wearing a military coat in winter can not only keep you warm, but also make you feel brave. Times have changed, and almost all household necessities have become the work clothes of migrant workers. In winter, avant-garde people wearing military coats occasionally appear, which makes people marvel at the change of time.

Big cotton-padded jacket

The big cotton-padded jacket made by my mother or grandmother accompanied us through the coldest winter.

When I was a child, I always wore a big cotton-padded jacket made by my mother or grandmother in winter in Wuhan. Don't mention how warm it is. Every winter I am wrapped in a big bear, which is also the happiest time for us to try on new cotton-padded jackets.

Old military cotton hat

Wear it, no longer afraid of freezing your ears ~

This is also called Lei Feng hat, which is the cotton hat in the 55-type winter clothes of the army. The hat is pulled down to protect the ears and neck, so that the cold air outside can't blow in, and the hot air inside can't go out, and the whole body feels hot.

Corduroy cotton shoes

At that time, having a pair of corduroy cotton shoes with air holes was simply a sign of hipsters.

I remember when I was a child, it snowed in winter. Many people wore a pair of dark black corduroy cotton shoes with thick foundation and warm, comfortable and practical inside. Left a warm and bitter memory for people.

mitten

Gloves were really thick at that time.

There must be a rope between two gloves. Otherwise, the child is crazy outside, and the gloves may not be there!

hot-water bag

I always hold a hot water bottle when I sleep at night, and sometimes I use a used infusion bottle.

Fill it with hot water, tighten the lid and throw it into the quilt. When sleeping, you will feel warm and comfortable in the quilt. Do you still remember the joy of stuffing a hot water bottle under the covers in winter?

quilt with cotton wadding

At that time, there were no air conditioning quilts or silk quilts. We tucked in and played by ourselves.

The quilt played at home is very real and airtight. Every household has this kind of quilt-beautiful quilt!

Baked sweet potato (anti-strip)

Wuhan people can have no other delicacies in winter, but this sweet baked sweet potato can't be eaten! In the winter in Wuhan, you always saw in the streets that there were fewer and fewer grandfathers selling baked sweet potatoes in iron drum carts ... every time you smelled the smell of kang, you couldn't stop.

An iron drum, a stove of charcoal fire, a basket of incense, sweet fragrance and hot air warm the winter. Tear off some charred skin while it is hot.

Eyes are full of orange-red sweet potato pulp. In the cold street of Wuhan, a baked sweet potato is opened, and the heat is sweet. This is the old Wuhan in memory!

popcorn

There was a loud bang and delicious popcorn came out!

This is a very popular snack in cold winter. Watching the master pour glistening rice into the jar, and then covering his ears, a heat wave rushed out of the pot with a loud noise, and chubby and delicious popcorn rushed into the long bag.

Tomatoes on a stick

Every time I hear the familiar cry of "candied haws", I can recall my childhood.

I remember eating it almost every day when I was in primary school. There are many kinds, including hawthorn, yam bean, apple and orange, with hawthorn and yam bean as the majority. And the price is cheap and the taste is pure.

Knock (sound kao) sugar

Knock (sound kao) sugar, also known as maltose, is said to have the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Knocking sugar is actually a big lump. Tell the stall owner how much it costs when you buy it, and the stall owner will take out the chisel and knock it down one by one.

When I was a child, as long as I heard the sound of knocking on candy, I would run forward at a speed of 100 meters and beg adults to buy a piece. Although yellow sugar is often everywhere, I really can't refuse the crispness and sweetness of winter.

The blurred picture is simple, but it is also full of fun and vitality. The winter of that year was very cool and warm.

My childhood is gone forever, and the winter at that time was lost with my memory. But every time I think of those interesting things when I was a child, do you miss them as much as I do?

60-year-old Wuhan, the weather here is to let people all over the world remember its power. If you can stay in Wuhan, you can stay anywhere in the world. It seems that you are against God every day.

The northerners' first year in Wuhan refreshed a lot of cognition.

1, we eat pasta for three meals a day in that place. Lamian Noodles is the most famous place, and occasionally there is rice (which is also soft and glutinous), so I didn't feel much about Regan Noodles when I first came to Wuhan (I felt that the noodles were not cooked when I first ate them). The food in the canteen can bounce and dance when it falls on the table. Their unified characteristics are difficult! I got used to it later, and I know there are many kinds of rice. Not all soft glutinous rice is good rice.

2. When I first came to Wuhan, I saw the "frostbite" in the real thing. There were 6 people in our party, and 5 people were recruited. Some local students have frostbite swollen like carrots. Wuhan is cold, too cold, and it can reach MINUS 5 degrees in the coldest time. There is no heating indoors and outdoors (we have heating in winter there and eat popsicles indoors in winter), and the wooden chairs in the big classroom can freeze to the heart. Once I went to my teacher's house, thinking that I could feel the warmth of winter in an instant. As a result, my teacher didn't turn on the air conditioner in winter ... I asked why and said I didn't have that habit. Air conditioners are usually used in summer. It's freezing and snowing in the north in winter. I didn't expect to see it in my first year in Wuhan. That's weird. After all, people here think that Wuhan belongs to the south.

Winter in Wuhan is a word, cold. ...
