What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, in September 1956, Silong graduated with the No.9 grade of Hongqi Primary School and went to Zenda Town Junior High School.

Silong is in middle school, although his homework is heavier than before, he seems to be more energetic and active.He actively participated in the activities organized by the school to study engineering, agriculture, and army, and worked hard. After one semester, he became the first batch of members to join the Communist Youth League.

Now Silong is like a high-spirited and proud little rooster.In terms of academic performance, his homework is among the best in the grade; he is an active member of various cultural and sports activities; he is a class leader and a member of the league; he is a favorite student in the eyes of the teacher; Object.

Students constantly borrow books, notes, homework, and everything that can be borrowed from him, and most of them are girls.And there are often small notes in the returned books, notes, and notebooks.Some of the content of those notes contained some vague joys and sorrows, and some implicitly asked him to meet at a certain place at a certain time.

For these exquisitely folded small notes, Silong's attitude is to ignore them completely.Seeing one, he threw one out, and one day Jasmine finally saw it, picked up a note and read it.

Jasmine looked at the contents of the note, smiled slightly, and asked casually, "Your classmate asked you to meet? Why did you throw it away?"

"It's really boring, I'm not free!" Si Long answered his mother casually, and opened his book with a look of disdain.

"Xiaobao, you have always been a sensible child. I know you have a big ambition in your heart now, and you are working hard to realize your ideal in the future! Now that you are a student, it is right not to be distracted by these trivial things Yes. I just want to remind you that all these children who wrote you notes are all your classmates. When they wrote these words, they were sincere and did not inferior to you in spirit. You In the future, don't be too proud in your attitude towards your classmates, pay attention to treating others equally and honestly! In the future, if you have such a note, don't throw it around, leave it to me, and my mother will help you put it away." Jasmine He looked at Si Long with a little worry, and wanted to say something more, but he still held back and didn't continue.

That night, when Jasmine and I were chatting about homework, Jasmine worriedly mentioned Bao'er.Bao'er is now in his teens, and he regards himself as an adult everywhere, busy with study and social activities every day, proud and proud.But in Jasmine's eyes and heart, he is always her treasure, and she has always been used to calling him by his nickname.

"You know? Our Bao'er, there are girls who like him now. However, he doesn't take it seriously. I don't know why, I'm always a little worried about him, but I can't say why worry about what.

Also, the older the child is, the more he thinks I am nagging. Sometimes, I am afraid that he will be rebellious, so I can't say anything more. "Jasmine looked at me and said worriedly.

"Good Jasmine, you don't have to worry too much. Bao'er has always been on the right path, and he is working hard for his ideals. These little girls who have just flirted with each other will not have too much influence on him. We can only I care about him, but don't interfere with him too much, and believe that he will handle his private affairs well. I know what you are worried about, Bao'er has been taking care of him since he was a child, you or we have taken good care of him, he almost He has never encountered setbacks, which is his biggest problem.

Now is the period when his mind is most active, and it is also the period when his mind tends to be finalized.If he can withstand a major setback without being defeated, as long as he is not defeated, his psychological endurance will be many times stronger than before, and he will really grow up.Now, it's useless for you to worry about him.As a parent, there is no way to deliberately arrange a setback for him. The only thing is to save him a home that can protect him from wind and rain when he is out of the house and let him know that there is always a home to return to. up.

Jasmine, he has to go through some growing pains by himself. We can only stand aside and watch silently, waiting for him to go home.You can't bear anything for him, you have to let go, let him break free! "

After comforting Jasmine, I couldn't let go of it in my heart.Is it possible to not worry about children?Poor parents in the world!

Time will not stop because of your worries, time gradually arrives in 1958. In May 1958, at the second meeting of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general line of "go all out, strive for the top, and build socialism more quickly, better and more economically" was officially adopted.Although the starting point of this general line is to change our country's economic and cultural backwardness as soon as possible, it is impossible to quickly change our country's economic and cultural backwardness due to the neglect of objective economic laws.After the general line was put forward, the party launched the "□□" movement.

The "□□" movement pursues high speed in production development, with the goal of achieving high industrial and agricultural production targets, and requires that the output of major industrial and agricultural products be doubled, several times, or even dozens of times increased.For example, it was proposed that steel output in 1958 should double from 1957, from 335 million tons to 1070 million tons, and that in 1959 it should double again from 1958, from 1070 million tons to 3000 million tons.Grain production in 1958 should increase by 1957% compared with 80, and in 1959 it should increase by another 50%.

The "□□" movement pursued large-scale construction, and put forward various slogans of "big work" and "special work" by the whole party and the whole people.For example, the whole party and the whole people will make steel, build railways, run ten-thousand-head pig farms, and run ten-thousand-chicken mountains.Due to the insistence on completing those unrealistic high targets, it will inevitably lead to the prevalence of blind command and exaggeration, and the lives of ordinary people have encountered serious difficulties.

At that time, the whole country formed a climax of large-scale iron and steel smelting and people's communes.The people's commune dining hall, which is promoted nationwide, has led to "letting go of the stomach and eating enough", realizing unpaid labor, resulting in a sharp drop in labor efficiency.

We saw that in the small Wangqi Village, all the villagers did not go to the fields to farm, but went to the mountains to mine, which greatly reduced the grain output of the year; Refined into useless iron lumps.All the people in the village eat in the commune’s cafeteria. At the beginning, there was surplus food from the previous two years, and everyone ate it openly. The unfinished rice and steamed buns were thrown away at will.

Hehua's uncle, Old Weitou, an old man who has suffered from wars and famines, really can't stand the waste in the commune cafeteria. He picks up discarded rice and steamed buns, dries them, and stores them in large tanks.In a year's time, several large tanks of dried steamed buns and dried rice grains were actually stored.

In July 1958, good news came from the agricultural front. Various media successively published the Hubei Changfeng Agricultural Production Cooperative.Immediately, the Ministry of Agriculture announced that the summer grain output increased by 7% year-on-year, and the total output was 15361 billion catties more than that of the United States.After the news of ten thousand catties of grain per mu appeared in the newspapers, it caused a great sensation in the society.People are talking about it, and some people don't believe their eyes and ears, whether they have read or heard wrong.

The example was set, and everywhere followed suit.In some places, even the satellite of David with "12 catties of grain per mu" was released.Because all regions falsely report the output, and the rural areas implement the people’s commune system, under this new collective economy, the lower-level officials in the countryside rush to falsely report the harvest output of their communes, thus leaving the local farmers with little surplus grain. Leaving the biggest hidden danger for the future.

In July 1959, the Yangtze River flooded in East China.The famine caused by floods and subsequent poor harvests caused an estimated 7 million direct deaths, and this disaster was listed as No. 200 of the most deadly disasters in the 20th century.

In 1960, 55% of the arable land was more or less affected by drought and other severe weather, and many arable land did not receive any rainfall throughout the year.All these factors led to a 1959% drop in China's grain output in 1958 compared to 15, and a further 1960% drop in 15 on this basis. The grain and cotton output in mainland China fell to the corresponding 1951 level.It was not until 1962, after the end of the war, that food production began to pick up.

The period from 1959 to 1962 was what later became known in history as the "****" period.At that time, urban residents had rationed food coupons based on the number of household registrations listed in their household registration books, and they could buy rationed rations in state-run grain stores.Although it may not be enough to eat, at least a certain amount of food can be bought every month.But the situation in rural areas is less reliable.If the grain harvest was poor, and the commune falsely reported the output to the superiors, then the grain that could be left for the villagers to live on would be extremely limited.Therefore, at the time of the Communist period, most of the people who died directly due to natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred in rural areas.

Those three years were exactly the three years when Silong was in high school.It was also the most difficult three years for Jasmine, because what she had to worry about every day was how to prepare enough food to support her precious son who grew up day and night and was full of energy every day.I saw that she raised a flock of chickens in the yard, but in the end there was only one hen that could lay eggs; she also planted some vegetables in the place where the flowers were originally grown, so as to supplement the usual meals.

When the monthly ration of food is almost exhausted, she will quietly go to the free market to buy high-priced food that does not require food stamps, or use the vouchers to exchange for some food.But at that time, all the behaviors of exchanging various bills for food were not allowed by the policy, and high-priced food without food stamps was sometimes not necessarily available for money.

One day, I saw her exchange eggs with a fellow villager in the market with a stack of cloth tickets and food stamps that she had accumulated for a long time, but unfortunately, she was discovered by the market administrator, and all the tickets she brought were confiscated Yes, the fellow's basket of eggs was also confiscated.

I saw that fellow, that big man in his 40s squatting on the ground crying over a basket of confiscated eggs. During those years, how precious and hard-won that basket of eggs was.

Jasmine also had a dejected look on her face. She was about to leave, but she couldn't bear to see that sad fellow. She took out a little money and handed it to the fellow, then turned and left silently.

I didn't dare to look at her face, I just followed behind her, within three meters, watching her walk so slowly, so slowly...

I remember that before, I promised her that I would be her support and support when she needed it.But seeing her lonely figure now, in this vast world, she is the only one, she can only be her own support and support this family alone.And the only thing I can do is just look at her, the figure of returning home empty-handed, and at the same time, my heart is so painful, so painful...
