Chapter 109 rain boots comedy

Recently, I visited Hubei Province for 20 days, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was moving forward by leaps and bounds. This can be illustrated interestingly. People who are used to living in Beijing don't often think of wearing rain boots when going out, especially in spring and autumn.This trip to the south, although many people told me to bring rain gear, I always think that the conditions for our trip are very good, we don’t walk much, and the roads in the city are easy to walk, so bringing an extra pair of shoes will be more cumbersome, so I just Bringing a coat for both weather and rain, we set off calmly.

When we arrived in Hankou, we encountered the weather of "alpricot blossoms and spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River". In the pounding rain, we walked back and forth on the Yangtze River Bridge, because the cement floor on the bridge was not even wet.We are only admiring the majestic and tall Hongqiao flying from north to south, and looking down at the spring river flowing eastward. I am grateful in my heart and say: "The Chinese people's desire to fly over the sky for thousands of years is based on the party. Under his wise leadership, it has finally come true!"

In the next few days of the visit, I started to get a little nervous.One reason is that all the factories we visited were heavy industries built at a rapid pace, such as Wuhan Heavy Machine Tool Factory, Wuhan Iron and Steel Company, Guanshan Industrial Zone, and Wuhan Boiler Factory.These factories have tall buildings and roaring machines. When a layman walks in, he feels dazzled and overwhelmed.In other words, on the vast, unfinished construction site, to see the production process of the factory.Because the building has not been completed, the various pipes have not been buried, and the road cannot be paved. In the heavy rain, we only looked up excitedly, and our feet were all in the mud.

Because we were going to visit a water conservancy project in the northwest of Hubei Province, those of us who did not bring rain boots all went out to buy rain boots, but they were no longer available in the market.Our master brought us dozens of pairs of products manufactured in 1960 from the company's warehouse.I picked the smallest pair and tried it, but it was still too big. On the night before departure, I went to the streets with a friend to see it by myself.When we walked into department stores, even children's products companies and thrift stores, we couldn't buy rain boots or rubber shoes. In the light rain, I lowered my head and noticed the passing pedestrians. Everyone was wearing rain boots, that is to say, I was familiar with Wuhan. People in Wuhan who should wear and can wear rain boots for the weather have already put them on.

As I was walking, I smiled and said to my friend: "I have a topic for writing a poem, which is 'How I feel when I see people wearing rain boots. "But she also knew that my "feeling" was not envying those who wore rain boots, but feeling ashamed that I lacked foresight. The general improvement of people's life...Finally, I listened to my friend's advice, went back and brought the smallest pair, tried to wear them on the outside of the shoes, and found that they fit well and were warm.The problem of the rain boots was solved, and everyone was happy for me, but the most exciting thing was the ever-changing scene in the whole country associated with the purchase of rain boots!

Afterwards, in several people's communes, construction sites, and shops along the way, I saw piles of rain boots of various sizes. I didn't need to buy any more, but I still felt happy. I thank the party and the government Caring for the general public, there is still no shortage of rain boots in places where they are most needed! Xiaozha". )
