My new house

● Zhang Changlun orally Li Chunkun organized

On New Year's Day in 1969, my lover and I were married.

The Eighth Division (now the Eighth Division) was an old team. At that time, there were half -land nests, caves, and bungalows that were built in the later period. The housing was tense. The company leaders allocated a cave for me as my new house. This cave is not a cave dug out of the hillside in Shaanxi -Gansu, but a house built with soil walls and red brick tuses on the flat ground.

Due to the years of wind and rain, the grass mud on the pavement of the cave has long been lost in the water, exposing the nature of the red brick. Because there is only one side brick on the roof, it is easy to be exposed without keeping insulation, so the neighbors say that the cave cave house is cold and hot in summer.

In order to solve the problem of cold summer and hot winter in the wedding room, I carried a few bundles of wheat grass from the ground and covered the top of the cave. It may be my demonstration role, and many cavers in the company learned to cover the grass on the top of the cave.

The problem of keeping warmth and heat and avoiding heat and avoiding heat and avoiding the heat and avoidance, I started the construction and layout of the house.

In order to reduce the dust problem inside the house, I flatt the ground, sprinkle water, and consolidate. Without a bed, I used the soil barrier to pose two bedside heads, and then put on the shelter as the bedboard made of willow branches on it. Below the handle, I supported two strong wooden sticks to solve the problem of collapse under the bed. Then, I spread wheat grass on it, and paved the mattresses on the wheat grass. Sleeping on the top is soft and harmonious, it is really the "Xi Mengshi" later. In order to prevent the wall of the wall and the wear of clothes and bedding, I put on a newspaper on the wall, and asked my colleagues in the same class to use newspapers to tie the ceiling, eliminating the worries of the tuse of the soil.

Since it is home, there must always be a table? At that time, the table was a luxurious furniture. I only have a living expense of 20 yuan per month. Besides, where can I buy it even if they have money? But this problem is still not difficult to overwhelm me.

I first picked up two short walls with bricks, as table legs. Then, I carried two abandoned cement prefabricated boards from the Duta, and put the prefabricated board on the short wall, and the table was available. Similarly, for the beauty and non -worn clothes, I also used a cowhide paper to make a "table". It was both beautiful and practical. Friends all admired my wedding room too beautiful.

In order to congratulate our new marriage, the second sister sent me two large plates printed with oriental red patterns; the third sister gave me a water -roasted aluminum pot; the second brother sent me two small benches from Shihezi. These new wedding gifts are very practical, and they immediately sent the field.

After 3 years in the cave, because of the child, the old father came to bring me a child, and the company divided us a new semi -large bungalow.

Later, my house was replaced from a bungalow to a building, and the house became bigger and bigger, but the new house of the kiln cave became a memory that I could not erase.
