some thoughts that may be off topic

As a southerner, I have little experience with bathhouses. In the past, I thought it was unacceptable for reasons such as "dirty and privacy", but now I think of going to the north because of curiosity.

I got 2 stories about bathing. Although the stories are a bit deliberate and hypocritical, I also felt the lack of water resources in the north. I don't know much about geography, but in the past 20 years in the south, I have never encountered no water for more than a month. The place where I live is relatively high. I rely on what should be called a water pump to pump water and store it in the sink all the year round, and then connect various pipes so that every faucet can discharge water. It is not very convenient, but basically it is not very short. water. In my impression, it seems that there are so many times a year that the water will be cut off for a long time, about three to five days. Fortunately, there is a public well about 2 meters high near the house. At this time, the children of almost every household will be sent by their parents to fetch water from the well. Several children stand (or squat) on the edge of the well, put several large buckets on the ground, and hold a long rope in their hands. Take the water, put it on the big bucket on the ground, fill up the bucket, and take it home.

At the beginning, there were few people fetching water, and there was a lot of water in the well. Basically, a small bucket was full of water when it was fished, and the speed of fetching water was very fast. But in less than half a day, there were too many people fetching water, and there was not enough water in the well, so the well water had to be grabbed. The head of the well is not big, and the edge of the well is only enough for four or five people to stand, but at that time we lived in at least a dozen households, and everyone had no water, so they had to fetch water from the well. You also need enough experience. The layers of stones at the bottom of the well are uneven, and some places have larger concave holes and some places have small cracks. You only know which position will catch more water when you fetch more water. Even if you occupy a good position, it does not mean that you can easily complete the task. It takes time for the well water to seep out. Basically, if you want to fill a small bucket of water, you have to stand for at least twenty minutes. It takes two or three hours to get three or four buckets of water, which is not easy. I couldn't let go of my hands, I had to keep holding on to the rope, and I squatted for too long, and my feet were numb. Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer. I didn’t understand it when I was a child. It was really cold and uncomfortable.

While waiting for the water, sometimes it’s okay to have friends and we can chat together, but there are many times because the water in front is too much, other children will choose to give up if they are impatient, and I am left to wait there slowly. At this time, when I was bored and couldn’t stop my mind, I would start thinking wildly, imagining that I would become a cool killer, and when the male classmate stretched out his hand, he would be so handsome that he would break a bone with a single pull. Say a few cold words, a cold-hearted car mechanic in a leather coat, or other characters who are cold and indifferent on the outside and sad and sentimental on the inside. In this way, before I knew it, the sun went down and the night came, and when I heard the cry of my mother on the balcony, I would carry my things home in a trance.

Now that I live in a big city by myself, the number of times I encounter water cuts is very rare, and I have only encountered two or three times in the past five or six years.

In addition, I want to talk about the problem of father and son in this movie. In fact, we are also facing similar problems now. In recent years, young people who are wandering abroad have become more and more reluctant to go home, mainly because they are annoying their parents to ask questions, and public opinion is also inclined to complain and be angry with their parents. But in fact, there is something wrong with parents interfering too much in their children's lives, but to be honest, parents stay in that place all their lives, and the sky they see is so big. The information they receive from childhood to adulthood is Those, the truth that they can understand and know, is not that they do not understand you, but how many opportunities have you given or how much effort have you made to make them understand? How many times a year do you call and meet with them? Have you had an in-depth conversation with them? How many times have you taken your parents to travel to broaden your horizons? Don't just complain and resist. Although it is really annoying to interfere too much in the name of concern, how long can they interfere with you? Moreover, you say that your parents do not understand you, but how much do you really understand your parents? Even if there is no consensus on this issue, don't resist getting along with your parents, and don't let yourself regret after losing it.
