Infinite Streamer

Zhou Zhigang's family of five, young and old, lived in a 20-odd-square-meter bungalow. Although it was simple and mice, fleas and insects could often be seen, they lived a happy life. Sometimes, the feeling of happiness really has little to do with material things.

Although money is not everything, without money is absolutely impossible.

Most of the houses in Guangzi Pian are old and dilapidated, with relatively few rooms. In that era, families were often large and the birth rate was high. Most of the rooms had several beds, with several children sleeping in one bed. There were also some houses of only a dozen square meters that had to accommodate families of more than ten people. Many families had two or even three-story beds built with various frames. The per capita living area of ​​such families was only a little more than one square meter.

Zhou Zhigang's family has only three children, which is relatively small. The average living area per person is about 4 square meters. The living conditions are indeed very simple, but much better than those of a family of more than a dozen people.

The means of transportation in the 60s were far less convenient than they are today. There were no modern electric cars, cars, highways, and high-speed trains.

"Transportation basically relies on walking, communication basically relies on shouting, heating basically relies on shivering, and public security basically relies on dogs." This is also a true portrayal of life in most parts of China in the 60s.

Families that keep dogs are generally relatively wealthy, and that’s how the term “dog-rich family” came about!

To go out, people had to walk. At that time, cadres went to the countryside on foot, students went to school on foot, and people visited relatives and friends on foot. Therefore, people at that time were very good at walking, and it was not a problem to walk dozens of miles a day.

At that time, few families owned bicycles. Bicycles were mostly used as buses. Bicycles were as expensive as BMWs today. People traveled mainly by walking, animal-powered carts, livestock, etc., using wheelbarrows (wooden wheels), carts, and row carts for transportation.

The bicycle Zhou Zhigang rode was the company's bus. Normally, only leaders could apply for the use of the bus when they were doing official business. But today, because the matter was urgent and Zhou Zhigang had excellent skills and good interpersonal relationships in the company, the company's leaders made an exception and lent it to him so that he could quickly get to the hospital to visit his son.

Zhou Zhigang took the freshly caught fish and crabs from the back rack into the house. Li Suhua, who was making matchboxes, quickly put down her work and asked a series of questions: "Old man, why did you come back so early today? Did you go to school to pick up Bingkun? What are you holding in your hands? Why did you come back on a bicycle?"

Zhou Zhigang said: "I was at work when the school called and said Bingkun had fainted. I quickly borrowed a bicycle from the company and went to the hospital. The doctor said the child was malnourished and fainted from hunger. He had already received two bottles of glucose injection. I just came back and passed by the creek over there, so I went down to the river and caught some fish and crabs to give the children some meat and nutrition."

Li Suhua said, "Is our son okay? Did the doctor say anything else?"

Zhou Bingkun walked in at this time and said loudly: "Mom, I'm fine! The doctor said I'm in good health!"

Zhou Bingkun suddenly felt that there seemed to be something unclean on the beam. He glanced and suddenly found a bald old man with white beard hanging on the beam. He was very similar to the bald man with cane and glasses. He stuck out a long tongue and looked like a hanged ghost!
