The weather was cold, especially in the late sixties and early seventies. It was as if the weather was deliberately creating a cooling and shabby atmosphere, making people's hearts tremble. It was as if that era was that atmosphere, as if people were living in hunger and cold, suffering. The people who had walked over at that time all felt this. This was especially so in the age of the young and the old. They were more or less involved. It was just like the population at that time. There was no family planning. The policy was so relaxed. A family would have a large number of children in their lifetime. Usually, there were five or six, or even eighty or ninety. However, if they were not born and died, not to mention seven or eight, there were even more than ten. With such a population and such unrestrained fertility, could the country be rich? The conditions at that time were extremely difficult. Not to mention food, even clothing became a problem. The eldest wore it all, and the second wore it until it was worn out. The people of that era had experienced the days of patches piling up on patches. At this time, Jia Kun's family was no exception. The family was not rich. There were many people in the family, and they were all living in hunger and cold. Jia Kun's family lived in Yaowoputun, which was under the jurisdiction of Yulin Town in Lanxi County. It was located in the sixth production team of Linwang Brigade. Their family lived at the west end of the village. The east end had three or four teams, while the west end had five or six teams. Ever since he could remember, he had grown up there. He was born at the end of the sixties and had no impression of the sixties because he was too young to remember anything. In the early 1970s, he seemed to have an impression of it. That was because his family's conditions were not bad. In his impression, his father was a very capable person. He was the captain of the production team and had a certain level of leadership ability. In his mind, his father was the pillar of the family, managing the family in an orderly and orderly manner. And his mother was a virtuous and sensible person. She took great care of them and cared for them.
He was the fourth son of his family. He had three older brothers, one older sister, and two younger sisters. He was the old boy of his family, so he received his mother's love.
To the west of his house was his second aunt's house, and to the east was Old Chi's house and Old Peng's house, which were also the houses of his son-in-law and aunt.
Therefore, his family's conditions at that time were not very good. The adobe house looked like it was about to collapse because it was said that the house was still his grandfather's residence. Because it had not been repaired for a long time, it leaked in the summer and was windy in the winter.
In that era, it was good enough for the northern countryside to have a house to live in. Some of the more difficult ones lived in the cellar to make a living.
Perhaps these difficulties were nothing to Jia Kun's family? He remembered that his clothes and pants were old, as if he had never worn new ones. He felt that the half layer of new clothes was very good. Jia Kun's mother was always so skillful. She made clothes and shoes for everyone in his family. The whole family was happy and harmonious.
At that time, his classmates were all willing to play with him. Sometimes, they would play, walk, and even skip rope. Sometimes they would play poker or swing together.
The children back then were not as happy as the children now. Other than studying every day, they had to go out to pick up feces and help the family. They basically became a small laborer. At that time, there was no one idle at home. The whole family was busy.
Perhaps it was a microcosm of the times, but reality could not change that difficult era.
