童心看中国改革三十年

小编: 丘垂育

有一天,我在家翻爸妈的抽屉时,发现里面有一张小纸条,上面写着“壹市斤”几个字。我好奇地问:“这是什么东西啊?”爸爸接过去看了一下说:“这是粮票,以前用来买粮食的必需品。”我奇怪地问:“那现在怎么不用了呢?”“因为现在东西多了,不需要国家分配,想买什么就买什么。所以就用不到粮票了。”

One day, when I was at home looking through my parents' drawers, I found a small note in it with the words "one catty". I asked curiously, "what is this?" Dad took a look at it and said, "this is the food ticket. It was used to buy food." I asked strangely, "why not use it now?" "Because there are so many things now that there is no need for state distribution, you can buy whatever you want. So we can't use food stamps. "

我还是不明白,粮票的用处到底有多大。爸爸这时停下手上的活,耐心地跟我解释:“以前农村地少,不仅粮食产量低,而且卖米的地方也少,只有粮站可以销售。国家为了合理地分配这些粮食,就发行了粮票,用来限定每个人的用量,不能超支。但现在不同了,自从土地承包以来,农民的积极性高了,特别是现在,种粮食还有补帖,大家都在想办法提高粮食产量。你看,粮食一多,大家想买多少就买多少。还有你看,现在大街小巷都有米店,也很方便。就不需要粮票了。”

I still don't understand how useful food stamps are. At this time, Dad stopped his work and patiently explained to me: "in the past, there was little land in the countryside, not only the grain output was low, but also there were few places to sell rice. Only the grain station could sell it. In order to distribute these grains reasonably, the state has issued food stamps, which are used to limit the consumption of each person and cannot be overspent. But now it's different. Since the land contract, the enthusiasm of farmers has been high. Especially now, there are subsidies for growing food. Everyone is trying to improve the food production. You see, when there are more grains, you can buy as much as you want. And you see, there are rice shops in the streets and alleys, which is also very convenient. There's no need for food stamps. "

我一听,觉得很有道理。记得妈妈曾对我说过,她读书时,只有逢年过节或有客人在家时才能吃到鱼、肉。现在我们的餐桌上不仅天天有荤菜,还有牛奶及各种各样、四季不断的新鲜水果。这种变化可真大啊!

I think it makes sense. I remember my mother once said to me that when she was reading, she could only eat fish and meat on New Year's day or when there were guests at home. Now we have not only meat and vegetables on our table every day, but also milk and all kinds of fresh fruits in all seasons. What a change!
