At present, the number of motor vehicles per capita in China is very high, which is a sign of social progress and people's prosperity. However, some people suffer from vehicle dependence and have to drive to places that can be reached by walking for more than ten minutes. Pollution and traffic jams have become lingering shadows, and car accidents are even more shocking. In fact, it is best to ride a bike or walk at close range. I can't help thinking of the old "Dajinlu" bike.
In the 1970s, the country implemented a planned economy, and materials were in short supply. In a rural area with a population of 1000, the number of bicycles is very small. At that time, anyone who bought a bicycle was more enviable than owning a BMW or Mercedes-Benz luxury car now.
Because of the scarcity of bicycles, people like to call them "cars", and few people call them bicycles. In people's minds, cars are bicycles.
Some good people "can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour", so they make up songs to vent their personal anger. When you meet a cyclist, someone will shout, "The bike runs fast, the chain is broken, and the tire is stuck. Let's see if Yang Er can come down. "
Someone said, "From a distance, it looks like a dragon. Seen from a close distance, the wires are twisted and the rain is dragon's. Ride a turtle and ride a dragon on a sunny day. " What is a "dragon riding a turtle"? This is because in those days, people liked bicycles. If you run into a ditch or cross a river on a rainy day, people will carry the car to prevent the tires from soaking in water and affecting their lives.
In the early 1980s, with the deepening of reform, opening-up and liberalization, the rural areas generally implemented the contract responsibility system of joint production. By selling surplus grain and raising, farmers' pockets gradually swelled, and they all tried their best to buy a bicycle.
Where materials are in short supply, food is bought with food stamps, cloth is bought with cloth tickets, and oil is bought with oil tickets. Of course, you need a ticket to buy a bike. In airports and customs clearance agencies, those who have made outstanding contributions will be given ticket awards; In the enterprise, he was rated as a model worker. Fans' clubs will reward tickets; In rural areas, players with more grain and hard-working cadres and departments will also be rewarded with tickets.
Because grandpa was the head of the brigade, he took the lead in repairing the reservoir and was rewarded with a ticket by his superiors. Grandpa won the lottery and didn't sleep well all night.
Before dawn the next day, grandpa went to the town supply and marketing cooperative ten miles away to pick up the car. After paying by ticket, grandpa finally mentioned his dream "Big Golden Deer" bike. He filled the bicycle stall with oil and rode home. Along the way, he felt light and dizzy, as if in a dream. Home was originally in the west, but he rode to the south in a trance. After riding for a while, he felt something was wrong and stopped to ask for directions, only then did he realize that he was going in the wrong direction. Grandpa can't help laughing at the sky. He was always clever, but he was so excited to buy a new car that he made a fool of himself.
Grandpa cherishes this car very much. In order to prevent it from touching and painting, he wrapped the frame with colored plastic strips. Because there was no car basket, he asked his grandmother to sew a car pocket with cotton cloth and hang it on the car beam. He also cleans car frames and auto parts almost every day to make them as bright as new. These two cars are not only important means of transportation, but also important means of transportation. Because the car is strong, it is necessary to sell pigs and buy feed and fertilizer in the market. It can be said that a car is in hand, and there is no worry in the distance.
Grandma's home and our neighboring county are more than 0/00 miles away from my home/kloc-. At that time, there were few commuter buses, only one every few days, and it was not on time. So, in the morning, my father rode this car and set off with my mother and me. At that time, my father was in his prime, riding very fast and all the way quickly. We had a rest when we passed the county seat. Dad bought me a piece of golden bread, and the tempting taste is unforgettable. At noon, we came to grandma's village, which happened to be a party. People cast envious eyes one after another, and some couldn't help saying, "Wow, it's a new car!" "
1984, the state carried out system reform and restructuring, and the people, the people, the public and the society completely withdrew from the historical stage and were replaced by towns and villages. The national economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, the countryside is getting richer and richer, the people's income has doubled, and the output of bicycles has also increased greatly. So, dad bought a portable "forever" brand bike. "Daikin Deer Car" retired gloriously and became grandpa's special car.
1994 I was admitted to No.1 Middle School in the county, which is more than forty miles away from home. Grandpa was very happy, so he solemnly gave me the "Daikin Deer Car". Soon, my beloved grandfather broke down from overwork. I couldn't help crying when the bad news came. After asking for leave from the class teacher, I went crazy. This car is very powerful. It's usually two and a half hours' journey. I got home in less than two hours and saw my grandfather for the last time before he closed his eyes. After three years of hard study, with the company of "Jin Lu Auto", I'm not lonely at all, as if my grandfather were around.
Since the new century, all kinds of high-end cars have entered the homes of ordinary people, and bicycles are fading out of people's lives. But my "Big Golden Deer" bicycle has been reluctant to sell, and it is well preserved because it is a symbol of a family and even the times.
