How much do you know about the past

■ Li Ganghua

In memory, when I was very young, the bowls of meals in my family were all kinds of things called "earth bowls". The soil bowl is dark, rough on the surface, and looks strong. Listening to my mother said that this bowl only cost a little bit of money at that time. But at that time, the family was poor, and the earthen bowl of the money was very cherished.

Especially Grandpa, if you accidentally broke a bowl, the look first feels like "eating" you, and then he will take his big smoke rod to fight you. On one occasion, after my mother had a good dinner, I asked me to bring it to the dining table in the house. Because I was small, I accidentally fell when I was carrying the rice bowl. The mother heard the sound, ran over from the kitchen, grabbed me who climbed up from the ground, and gave two slaps fiercely.

On that day, I cried on weekdays that I did not fall in tears, but my mother cried sadly in the kitchen. At that time, I did n’t understand why my mother cried. Now she is a mother. I know that my mother cries because I feel sad. Later, I learned that the bowl was carrying 50 catties of Baogu, walking 5 kilometers away, and went to the market to sell it back.

Later, we came to Panzhihua Baoding Mining Area with our father. His father's salary was low. Despite the careful calculation of his mother, his life was still stretched. New bowls are rarely added at home, and many bowls have gaps and cracks.

In 1992, I was admitted to the technical secondary school. My parents took out all the savings, and I also borrowed some of my friends and relatives. Finally, I made up the tuition fee for me. I had no money to buy a daily necessities for me. Without a lunch box, his father gave me some of the deforms of the translucent aluminum lunch he used. At school, watching the girls in the same bedroom are beautiful flower porcelain bowls, but my extra large aluminum lunch box is particularly obstructive.

Soon after the school, the school had to conduct standardization inspections of the class and bedroom. The teacher asked the school to inspect each bedroom before each bedroom. Back to the bedroom at night, everyone was busy with seven hands and feet. When it was sorted into the rice bowl on the life platform, everyone's eyes brushed into my large aluminum lunch box. For a long time, no one said a word. Fortunately, when I fell asleep, the bell rang, and at the moment when I got into the bed, my tears seemed like the flood of the embankment rushed out.

When I went home on weekends, I did not say that my mother had a standardized inspection, I just said I wanted to buy a new rice bowl. That day, my mother looked at me and didn't say anything. When I returned to school on the afternoon, I returned to the bedroom with both hands, and my heart was lost. At that time, our bedroom was deducted two points. I don't know if it was because of my reason, but the roommates must think it was.

When I went home on the second weekend, my mother took out a box and took out a beautiful flower porcelain bowl from it. When I took the flower porcelain bowl from my mother, I saw the darkness in her fingers, like an unswasted coal ash. Later, my father told me that in order to buy this rice bowl, my mother did not light up every day, so she went to pick up coal blocks far away from home to sell, and went home when it was dark.

When I returned to school that weekend, my mother kept sending me to the station. When I got in the car, my mother pulled my hand and said, "Ah, you must study hard at school. It is not terrible to be poor, and it is terrible to not work hard." I remember my mother's words firmly in my heart. In the past four years, while working hard to learn professional knowledge, I also took time to read extracurricular books. I have received scholarships in the class every semester, and I often publish articles in school newspapers.

In 1996, after I participated in the work, I got the salary of the first month, and I paid a part of my mother to make up for the family. The remaining part added a new bowl to the family. Later, the economic conditions in the family were good, and the mother always loved to add dishes, especially the New Year's Day or her father's birthday. The mother always bought back some different shapes and festive dishes. Watching my mother shared her joy with a smile, I was full of joy.
