Summer 1956,I was admitted to the Chinese Department of Shandong University,Grandma started preparing my luggage。"Mother's Hand Line",Wanderer's top",I was 17 years old that year,There is nothing wrong with being young,For the quilt my grandmother prepared for me、I don’t care much about thread blankets,What I dream about is a watch。I begged my grandmother to buy me one。Grandma said,Waiting for your dad to come back,Ask him for it。
What a coincidence,A hot day with the sun shining brightly,Father is on a business trip from Beijing to Shanghai。That afternoon,I came back from swimming outside,Seeing my father sitting in the living room,My heart skipped a beat。My father is not usually strict but very serious,I was a little afraid of him when I was little。My father asked me about going to Qingdao to go to school,Say to me,Entered university,Another person outside,Should have a watch。As he spoke, he took off the Swiss watch he was wearing,Push it in front of me and say: "Here you go。”This is an old watch,My father has been wearing it for many years,Probably bet365 live casino gamesbought it when he returned to Shanghai after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War。Speak from your heart,I was not satisfied at the time,Want a new watch。My cousin was admitted to the Chemistry Department of Fudan University two years ago,Uncle bought a new Innerge watch for her,I originally thought that my father would also buy me a piece of Yingnag。These ideological activities must be revealed on the face of a teenage child。My father said to me sincerely: "Watch,Just go accurately。Wear it first,Wait until you graduate from college,As long as this table is not lost,Give it back to me,I’ll buy you a new watch。”I reluctantly accepted this watch。This is the first watch I wear in my life,I should have been happy,But I’m not happy,I just don’t dare to say it。That’s it,This watch has been with me for 4 years,Accompanied me throughout my college life。
1960,It’s a difficult time,Shortage of supplies。I will be assigned to work in Beijing after graduation,The monthly salary is 46 yuan at first,Increased to 56 yuan after becoming a regular employee,The couple’s total salary is 110 yuan,I don’t even dare to think about buying a new watch。About the spring of 1961,Father gave me a ticket,At that time, everything you bought had to be supplied with a ticket。This is a ticket for a Capital brand watch,Rectangle,Very simple,Stamped with the official seal of the Xidan Hendali Watch Store。Father also took out 110 yuan from the drawer,Tell me,Go buy a new watch!That day is Sunday,Our family lived at No. 154 Xuanwai Street at that time,There are only three bus stops to Xidan。So I went to Xidan Hendali,Queue,Pay money,Received a semi-steel Capital brand watch,There is a Tiananmen logo above the dial。You couldn’t choose when buying such valuable items at that time,Whatever is given to you。With strap,Put bet365 live casino gameson a new watch,I went home happily。Back home,Father looked at it,Very satisfied,say,Keep the old watch!
Now,More than half a century has passed,I have never been willing to get rid of my father’s old watch,Always have a deep attachment to it - it is not only treasured in my home,Treasured in my heart forever。
A fur coat
My work unit after graduation is the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,In the western suburbs of Zhongguancun。There is a dormitory in the institute,Four bunk beds in a room of more than ten square meters,Accommodates 7 people,Empty an upper bunk for luggage and miscellaneous items。Most of the roommates I share a room with are graduates of the Mathematics Department of Peking University,Versatile,Profound education。Beijing had frequent power outages in the early 1960s,It’s pitch dark in the dormitory at night,They often lie in bed and play blind chess,Although I can also play Chinese chess,But the level is low,Listening to them playing blind chess, I really admire them。At that time, boiled radish was eaten every day in the cafeteria of the computing institute、Boiled Japanese melon。Young people are naughty,Singing while eating: "The sky is not afraid,The ground is not afraid,I’m afraid of eating Japanese melon every day。”There is too little oil and water in the belly,Greedy,I often go back to my parents’ house to eat and drink。Take bus No. 32 to the zoo,Transfer to bus No. 15 and then to trolley bus No. 9。There were few cars at that time,From Zhongguancun to my home in Xuanwai,You have to walk for at least an hour。
It was extremely cold that winter。I came home and had dinner one weekend night,My mother called me to the east room,Said to me softly: "Beijing is cold in winter,Your woolen coat is thin,Buy something thicker,Don’t freeze your body。"My mother quietly gave me 110 yuan,Also told me,bet365 slotsDon’t buy those overcoats that are just fancy but useless。At that time, there were many gabardine coats exported to the Soviet Union on the Beijing market,Now it is called export to domestic sales,Remember it’s 60 yuan a piece。I promise,Got it。
My mother is a doctor,Exceptionally good personality,Be gentle and considerate,I have never blushed at anyone in my life,Always speak softly。All the neighbors in the yard said that Dr. Hang has such a good temper。I went to middle school in Shanghai when I was young,Sometimes naughty gets into trouble,Mother enlightens me,Talk to me。I’m listening,On the side, he used an engraving knife to carve four words "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" on the small round table。My mother is severely short-sighted,Not found at the time。The nanny reported me the next day,Mother did not speak,Find a tablecloth,Covered on the small round table,Tell me not to carve everywhere again,Ruined a good thing。My mother’s character of never losing her temper has a subtle influence on me。Many comrades in the Ministry of Finance say I have a good temper,Don’t get angry,This is all thanks to my mother。Mother is profoundly myopic,Daily items at home have fixed places,It’s very convenient for her to take。Every night before going to bed,She always puts her glasses on the bedside table,I was naughty when I was little,Sometimes she moves her glasses,She couldn't feel anything when she got up,will call my name: "Huaicheng,Where did you put my glasses!”When she left,The glasses were also cremated with her。Sometimes I really miss my mother’s voice calling me after I took off my glasses。
A Sunday morning,I went to Wangfujing Dong’an Market with the 110 yuan my mother gave me,Bought an old sheepskin coat,Spent 108 yuan。Beijing people call this kind of coat a leather monkey,Wear a hood behind the bet365 online sports bettingcollar,Four pockets on the front,The top two pockets are slanted,It feels warm when you put your hands inside。The fabric is silk,The color is black。I feel very warm when I wear it after buying it。Back home,Grandma、Father、Mother is very satisfied。
I have worn this piece of leather for more than ten years,I took off the skin and washed it away,I found it shrunk after drying,The most troublesome thing is that the sleeves are short,Exposing a section of white old sheepskin。At that time, I lived in the Tianningsi Road Dormitory of the Ministry of Finance,Once seen by Zhu Lengxiang from the Finance Department of the General Office,She said to me,Go buy a piece of black cloth,Bring it over tonight,I’ll give you a piece of sleeve。After get off work,I sent the coat and black cloth to Zhu Lengxiang’s house,Soon,She sent it back,The sleeves have been connected,Seamless。
I wore this coat until I became deputy minister。Later there was a car to pick me up from get off work,No longer wearing it,But it’s always in my office。Before the completion of the new Ministry of Finance building,Ministers all work on the second floor of the South Annex Building,One room per person,I am at No. 208,Lying on the sofa during lunch break,Just wear this leather monkey in winter,Exceptionally warm。This leather monkey later followed me to the State Administration of Taxation,Follow me back to the Ministry of Finance,Finally followed me to the Social Security Fund Council。Although I haven’t worn it to work for many years,But whenever I see this piece of leather monkey,It reminds me of my mother’s love for me,Thinking of the care between comrades。
There are no parents in the world who don’t love their children,My parents’ love for me,With the characteristics of their generation,The philosophy contained in it has benefited me throughout my life。
