The story of two pairs of leather shoes
Suffering from conjunctivitis due to the eye, to the eye hospital two days ago, in the waiting room, I sat in the first row of the nearest chair, away from the clinic area where only seven or eight meters, is crossed with a long The channel, which is all the patients to other patient areas must. Doctor who crowded, and from Central Park. Because the eye is difficult to be, I head down a half eyes closed, both men and women of a small and large feet in front of me and shaking. Ladies sandals suddenly aroused the excitement of my nerves, that the various styles, various colors of sandals made me an eye-opener, with high heels, a half high, with the slope, there are no slippers with style , there are red, yellow, white, two or several colors makes up, and broadband, narrowband and so forth, almost like a kaleidoscope of shoes, let me dizzying. Thoughts while watching it suddenly brought me back to the 50s last century, that two pairs of eyes appeared in my favorite, but not through the discarded shoes.
The first pair of spring 50, when I bought the shoes on the temple. From small to large family myself I were to wear cloth shoes, high school, and saw some students wearing shoes, was very envious of, because the home population and general economic conditions, their embarrassed openings, may be revealed through inner Yuehua Jian desire, my mother decided to accompany me to my aunt to buy a pair of leather shoes. Remember the shoes that day, the Pro out of the house, the mother repeatedly asked: so easy to wear shoes better than bad shoes, a pair of leather shoes to put on for many years, much longer legs, some buy bigger, and can not buy just wearing the [ appropriate]. I happily and aunt came with a large shoe store Quangyechang, a 50-man sales brought about a pair of 36 brown flat heeled shoes I try, I just put on, but think of my mother's orders, I and aunt, said in unison: "too small to be big some of the" salesman hesitated a moment, to change the 37, we were still that small, even for large, salesman was surprised and said: your feet life? See we still insist that he had took a pair of 38's, tried it, from the heel to the shoe can be put in his two fingers, so satisfy us to buy this pair of great shoes. Home, my mother looked very happy. Aunt put me try to walk, oh, was it! The shoes seem to have a 8 kg weight, how feet are not up with it, a walk of a Tala, Mom brought me some old cotton pad in the shoe front, wear is still not good to walk, no way, it had stood first, and so grown up, wear the right foot. Unfortunately, decentralization in bed for a few years, until the inside of the leather sole leather shoes are cracked curly, and my feet did not grow up.
The second pair of shoes is: 57 I received a summer working in Wuhan certain students sent a parcel, opened it, a pair of beige high-heeled 36 half-leather sandals, very nice, was very glad. Package is sent to authorities at that time was seen, and say: is the boyfriend sent it! [Because I was not married yet] I carefully explained that a female classmate sent it, but could not believe it. Something like this: 56 years during the summer vacation, so and so students did not go home, but to go to the hospital for a minor operation, although surgery is not, after a period of time not a good life take care of themselves, so I did not return to subsidized summer , deliberately left behind to take care of her. We are students of the same bedroom with the same class, usually relatively close, I take care of her is as it should be, but she felt I do not know how to thank that I can, so when we broke up after graduation, they bought this pair of beautiful sandals sent me. This pair of beautiful shoes, face, heart flip with bursts of waves, my Gaoxing Jin is also gone. I really like the students to name the names of men, how does not cause other people's suspicion? [At that time my heart has been secretly blame her name from a] say what I normally do not wear good clothes and good special shoes, are often subject to "bourgeois consciousness, bourgeois ideology," the criticism, if I wear this pair of beautiful shoes that will invite a lot of trouble too! After much deliberation, how not Ganchuan, so he had it shelved. After about 5,6 years, I give half of high-heeled shoe repair to get rid of the master, when the want to be able to wear flat shoes, I did not expect it did not, half-peace-heeled shoes high heels soles are not the same as that change simply can not wear, and into the soles was also dry, becomes not a look, but I still could not bear to throw away, until it was moved several times before they had to give up.
Whenever I think of the two pairs of never worn shoes to throw my heart on a dull pain. The first pair of shoes, my heart full of pity and regret, but I do not blame the mother too, because she has never worn shoes my life at the time, difficult economic conditions, family circumstances, can come up with money to buy me shoes, I have deeply felt love for my mother. That's the general public to maintain adequate food and clothing are very difficult to make ends meet, how can there be money to buy shoes to wear, so can not buy this pair of golden shoes, only able to save at the bottom of my heart deeply sorry and regret. But a beautiful pair of sandals, made me feel guilty and uneasy life, always feel sorry to my classmates that sent thousands of miles away from a sincere mind. I can not tell how to understand my fault, thought to be bound in that everything about the era of exaggeration how should I do? Ups and downs of the past still continue to flash in front of the ......
"There's no waiting for Arranging old card, you can first see a doctor," a crisp voice woke me, to my mind from the memories of pulling back. Ah, I have the old ID card! A look at the opposite wall shows the order number, short of the two numbers on my turn, and simply to wait a while. I did not enjoy the old priority of treatment, more so for nearly two hours, but this I do not have to waste two hours, it allowed me to see a beautiful landscape sites, many changes were dressed, their clothes and shoes colorful, is not correct that the economic income of the wealthy people, showing the mental outlook of the people you love life! Many women wear personalized, not only shows the beauty of youth and vitality, but also shows the area of open thinking, what they are thinking of absolutely no concern about being critical, I'm glad for them from the heart. 30 years of reform and opening up the country in the ideological, political, economic, earthshaking changes have taken place, these people have to experience. With economic development, the state implemented a number of farmer-friendly policy, the people's material standard of living has greatly improved all aspects of basic necessities are not what shoes are popular urban wear. In recent years, I have 10 seasons wearing several pairs of shoes, more than 60 years ago I wore combined, but I fear, are generally flat with the old pair of shoes! Really good envy today's young people.
