Luck was often linked to the times. Even in their family, they were immersed in happiness. This year, their eldest sister failed the college entrance examination because she didn't get into university. Second Brother also did the same. In an instant, the happy life of the family was covered with frost. At the same time, his father had returned from his trip. "Because of Eldest Sister and Second Brother, they are even stricter with our studies. At this time, his father had changed from the director of agricultural construction to the director of health care. In addition, the two children's failure to enter the exam had also given him a certain blow. His temper became more and more irritable, and he did not allow anyone to speak. Therefore, Jia Kun's family was in a state of tension and seriousness every day. Ever since Eldest Sister and Second Brother came down, Father let them work in the fields while the four of us were still in school.
Perhaps no matter what he did, he had to put in a lot of effort. At that time, he had already gone to school in town. He was not allowed to ride the only bicycle at home. Because of his need, his second brother went to Zhaodong to make tofu. Jia Kun could only walk fifteen miles every day to and from school. Summer was okay, but winter was the hardest. Because he had to walk, he had to leave early. Every day before dawn, his mother would wake up early to cook for him. He ate a few mouthfuls and hurried on his way. Because the snow in the north was heavy in winter, it wasn't like now. Sometimes the snow was more than a foot thick. Jia Kun walked shallowly on his way to school. What was especially frightening was that they had to pass by a circle of graves on this road, which was eerie and scary. Even during the day, they had to walk around this place, but they were still a little afraid. At night, they could think of it. Every time Jia Kun came here, it was around two or three o'clock. The sky was basically still dark, let alone he was alone. Even though he was afraid, so what? He mustered up his courage and walked forward. When he felt that he was about to reach, he just had to be careful. However, the more careful he was, the more mistakes he made. He didn't know if it was his legs that didn't listen to him or if there was a problem with his feet, but he stepped into the grave. The moment his feet sank in, he felt as if something was grabbing him. He couldn't pull it out even if he wanted to. He could only muster up his courage and pull his foot out of the hole. When he touched it, he was shocked. It looked like a human bone. He didn't care much about that. He hurriedly slipped away from there. When he escaped from this area, he heaved a sigh of relief. He braved the bone-piercing cold wind and walked towards the school.
The middle school in the town was fifteen miles away from his house. The road was filled with dirt roads, and poplar trees were planted on both sides. It was specially built by the county. In fact, it was not surprising to have such newly built dirt roads back then. It was also a microcosm of the new countryside.
Jia Kun remembered that when the road was built, it occupied the land opposite them. That land was more than 30 meters away from his house. If one leaned against the window of their house and looked over, they would be able to see it. He remembered that when the road was being repaired, the children were still curious about it, so they went there to look at the tractors and bulldozers. Because it was requested by the county to be repaired, there was still a lot of fanfare at that time. In the areas that were about to be repaired, red flags were planted as if they were waiting for the cutting to start. Jia Kun and the others also squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun. It was really prepared for the cutting to start. A bulldozer hung red colored silk in front of it, and it was full of people standing in front of it. There was a county leader and a town leader standing in the middle of the red silk. On both sides, there were two little girls holding hands. The two people picked up scissors and cut at the same time. The onlookers applauded enthusiastically. Immediately after, the roar of the bulldozer and the sound of the tractor's chain intertwined. Soon, a road was pushed out along the red flag area, leading to Yulin Town in the east and Zhaodong County (now a city) in the west. Therefore, this road was very meaningful.
Ever since they had this road, it was much more convenient for them to go to the town and Zhaodong County. They didn't have to turn left and right like before and go through many villages to reach these two places. Now, with this road, they didn't have to take many unnecessary roads and went straight through. Therefore, this road brought great convenience to people. Therefore, there were often people guarding the road. If there were potholes, there would be people guarding the road to fill them up. Occasionally, they would sprinkle some sand on them. This road was well built and timely. Jia Kun was going to school in the town now. He did not need to walk through the alleys. He only needed to walk 30 meters from his home. Then, he would walk in the direction of the town. He would not have to worry about taking the wrong road or not being able to reach it.
Perhaps it was because of the changes of the times, because the end of the seventies was coming in a flash, and the beginning of the eighties was about to arrive. During this year, many changes had occurred in Jia Kun's family, and they had become a deep imprint in his heart.
