Was life in Ningmin Town really that hard at that time?

I am a relocated household in Ningxia, and I prove that the plot in Ningmin Town is real.

Hello, everyone, I'm Ma Ma Ge from Ningxia, and my family is also an immigrant relocation household. But my family is not a diaozhuang immigrant, but a spontaneous immigrant. My family is now in Nanliang Farm, Xixia District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, and we are planting Lycium barbarum.

The life scenes in Ningmin Town are all real. I am here to tell you my experience about water, and you will understand.

When I was very young, I helped carry water for my family. My sister and I usually go to the deep ditch in front of our village to pick the spring water dug by adults.

A long pole with a diameter of about 5 cm and a length of 3-4 meters. The bucket is about 60 cm high and 30-40 cm in diameter. When carrying water, in order to relieve my sister's pressure, I usually pull the bucket in front by hand.

Now because of too much water, the right shoulder is much lower than the left shoulder.

Later, I grew up a little, and my sister grew up a little, so we stopped carrying water. I carried water, and she and her brother carried water.

Carrying water is the kind of carrying two buckets on a pole. I usually only bring two and a half buckets of water. My sister walked behind instead of me, holding a bucket in her hand.

Every day after primary school, we three brothers and sisters are most worried about carrying water and carrying water. Because mom and dad are often in the field, there is a lot of clear water after an afternoon of accumulation in spring. Whoever has a doll to carry water early will have clean water to eat.

Later, maybe there were too many people in our village, or maybe the drought was too severe and there was not enough water in spring. Many people run to fetch water before the rooster crows at midnight.

My father is a man of insight. He bought a Tietong, which should be gasoline or engine oil, with a diameter of more than one meter. There is also a hole into which water can be poured. Another faucet was installed to drain the water slowly. The big water is bottled in a wooden cart.

Pull the water away with an ox. That place, we call it Shanchanao. Later, I looked at the map carefully. It should be the source of Hunhe River, with a little water, which is relatively large.

And I, after junior high school, began to help my family pull water. At first, I was with my parents, and later I was directly with my sister and brother. Now that I think about it, it is almost impossible for a cow to survive if it runs around or stumbles when going downhill.

However, there is no water and there are no people at home. My mother not only grows crops, but also cuts cattle and sheep, and sometimes goes to the mountains to find weeds. Cooking at home still needs firewood, and my mother has to dig her back, and my father works outside. Grandpa is old and only suitable for housework.

Therefore, water is the contribution that our children must make to the family!

When I was in high school, my family moved during the winter vacation of my freshman year. I think it was the third day of the first month. Because there are few traffic police at this time, people sitting in convertibles (trucks) on the expressway are generally not found.

In winter, I froze to death all the way from my hometown ravine, from 109 national road, and arrived in Nanliang in the middle of the night.

Nanliang is a Diaozhuang settlement, where relatives have settled and taken root. The first night I took refuge with my relatives, and the second night I already lived in a borrowed house. The whole family has only two rooms. There are at least two beds in each room.

Although bitter and bitter, a new journey has begun.

We almost went back several times, but there was running water and convenient transportation, so we couldn't walk.

When tap water was used for the first time, my grandfather was very curious and sighed there-my grandfather's knowledge of society still stayed in Chairman Mao's era and attributed everything to the * * * production party. When you see running water, you say, * * * is the producer fierce, and running water can cure you?

Our family bought some wolfberry fields not far from home and started a new life. Today, the good life of our family is achieved through the good policies of the Yellow River water and Lycium barbarum trees in our own country!

I always answer: times have changed.

Dad would say, that's for sure. The old society is different from the new society. Otherwise, how could you send your three siblings to school so hard?

I really appreciate the hard work of my parents. It is not easy to support three college students, undergraduates, postgraduates and doctors.

We need to understand the whole picture of things in combination with the background of the times and treat people and things with awe.

Today, it has become history to be married and have a son who walked 400 kilometers in seven days and seven nights, but the spirit of perseverance and unremitting struggle still flows in our blood, prompting our nation to keep moving forward.

Recently, I watched "Ningmin Town" in iQiyi, which is really a rare good drama in recent years and is worth seeing.

The life shown by Ningmin Town is very real, otherwise our country would not spend so much effort to get rid of poverty and public relations. Don't forget, our country completed the relocation of rural areas before the end of last year, eliminating the phenomenon of absolute poverty; A miserable life like Ningmin Town not only happened before 1990s, but also existed until 2020.

We must praise the screenwriter of the play, explain the strategy of the country's western development in place, have a rigorous plot structure, clear logical clues and vivid and credible stories. The success of this drama lies in that it shows the changes of the times from the story that happened in a small diaojiaolou village.

I scored 9.5 points for the 1 1 episode that this drama has only caught up with until now.

As a member of Xihaigu, in fact, life is far more bitter than then. For example, there is no waste of water at home. The family washed their faces with a ladle of water, and the last ladle of water turned black. They should wipe their faces, and the washed water should not be thrown casually. Waiting for clarification, drinking animals were raised and urine was also raised as drinking animals. Especially in those years, there was a drought every year, and the grain was not harvested. Every family has eaten up several water cellars, and the water falling from the sky is gone. You can imagine the desire for water. Now that the conditions are good, you continue to keep the habit of saving water.

I can say responsibly that reality is more bitter than TV series. My hometown is Pingliang, Gansu, bordering on Xihaigu. I can talk. For your own comparison, my home is flat along the 3 12 national road, and the land is irrigated. My uncle's house is in the garden and depends on the weather for dinner. I have my own killing well. At that time, my uncle's family was going to pull water in the ditch, and my cousin and I went to fetch water. I am very naughty. When I thought of building my own house, the soil of the foundation was pulled back by my parents with a cart. My father has a cart and my mother has a cart. It took me a month to pull it up. The front of the house is a brick wall, and the other three sides are Hu Ji's. Think of it as a memory! ! !

If you haven't experienced that era, you can't imagine it anyway, especially the children living in the city. I was born after 40. Although I have never experienced such a bitter life, I have seen such a life in the countryside. This is a rare good TV series in recent years. True, credible, touching and powerful. It warns people not to forget the past, not to forget their own initiative, to cherish the present life, and not to forget the folks who laid the foundation for today's life.

Just watch the documentary "Our Poverty Alleviation Story in 2020".

The art that originates from life and is higher than life has enhanced its appeal. It can be said that the poverty state of Xihaigu on TV should be in the early days of liberation, which is much better than that in the period of reform and opening up.

I don't know if it's really that bitter, but I always burst into tears when I read it, especially when Professor Ling left, the whole village came to see me off. Debao also has a lot of tears, which is very touching and a good TV series.
