How did the countryside survive in the dog days of the sixties and seventies without electricity, air conditioning and fans?

With the continuous development of China's economy, the standard of living in China is constantly improving, and all kinds of household appliances are readily available. In the face of hot summer, we can also spend it comfortably. However, according to the elders of the older generation, some areas in China were still poor in the last century, not to mention electric fans. Eating a sugar popsicle in summer is a pleasure. Every year, the dog days appear between the hot summer and the hot summer, which is the highest and sultry time of the year. So how did people living in rural areas spend the hottest dog days in the sixties and seventies? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

If people living in the country enjoy the cool under the shade of trees, they must have such memories. In hot summer, many people will enjoy the cool under the big tree at the entrance of the village because they can't go to the fields. Most of the big trees at the entrance of the village are old trees, with lush foliage, like a big umbrella, so people at that time gathered under the big tree to enjoy the cool, and everyone took a cattail leaf fan to chat in the wind and enjoyed the rare coolness this summer. When the sun went down, the weather suddenly became cool. At this time, many people took advantage of the cold weather and switched back to work in Tanaka. The memory of this summer is also accompanied by the growth of several generations. This is the best memory when I was a child.

When I was swimming in the middle of the stream, the stream at the entrance of the village kept flowing all year round. In summer, the children agreed to swim together in the river, one for swimming to enjoy the cool and the other for catching fish in the river. At that time, there was not so much pollution, the stream was crystal clear, and fish could even be seen swimming at the bottom of the river. Therefore, it is no exaggeration that many people in rural areas spend their summers in the river. Accompanied by friends, they can even soak in the water all afternoon until their fingers are wrinkled. In the evening, all parents shouted for their children to go home for dinner. Parents' wishes must not be violated. At this time, the children reluctantly went ashore from the stream and made an appointment to continue swimming in the stream every day. In summer, it is the cool stream that gives children the feeling of touching their skin.

In the last century, enjoying the cool in the yard was an absolute luxury. Generally, only newly married families will buy them, so the cattail leaf fan in the countryside at that time was an electric fan. At that time, people who worked hard all day would take a horse and sit in the yard to enjoy the cool after dinner. Summer evening breeze is particularly comfortable for them. Adults relaxed their fatigue in a leisurely chat, while children were playing around. This is the happiest moment at that time.

With the continuous development of society, this past has become the eternal memory of a generation. The development of society is always full of contradictions. In the last century, many people lived in poverty, but they lived very leisurely. Until now, there are still many people who miss the life of the last century. I think they miss the human touch of the last century. It was when there were neighbors. Several neighbors were sitting in the yard, blowing the evening breeze and talking about their homes. This is real life.
