One day, walking on Tianshan Road in front of Shanghai Hongqiao Development Zone, two old ladies greeted each other on the street downstairs of an old workshop. One of them held a small aluminum pot in his hand. The aluminum pot looked old. The bottom was changed, and there were some slumps on the lid. The old lady told the old lady that she accidentally scorched the bottom of the pot while cooking the soaked rice. She was going to the construction site over there and asked someone for some yellow sand to wipe it. The two old people were talking, and behind them were the high-rise buildings in the development zone. The new smooth building materials, as well as the abstract and rational building lines, are like a huge canopy of modern drama. These two old people are vivid, they live a concrete and careful life, that is the life of the past.

At that time, life was actually quite meticulous, and everything was considered in the long run. At the end of summer and early autumn, cowpeas are old and about to go out of the market, and the price will follow. So, the hard-working housewife bought a basket of cowpeas, picked them up, and washed them. Then, thread a long thread with a needle, thread the cowpeas one by one, hang them up, and dry them in the sun. It is good to eat roast pork in winter. As for the used thread, wash it in clear water, straighten it out, put it away, and use it again next year when drying cowpeas. The thread for sewing the quilt is also measured horizontally and vertically, and then cut, and the sewing is just right. When unpacking and washing the quilt, pull out stitch by stitch, straighten it out, wash it, dry it in the sun, and sew it back on. Farmers planting and pulling the line of seedlings need to be harvested. It is a one-year plan that can be passed down to several generations. Most cinemas do not have air conditioning, but they do have paper fans, which are placed in wooden boxes at the ticket gate. When you go in, pick up a handful, and when you come out, throw it back so that the next person can use it again. This kind of life nurtures the hope of life. After this year, there will be next year, next year, and the next year. Unlike today, there are disposable utensils everywhere. If you have used things, if you pass today, you will not be able to use them tomorrow. Such short-term behavior, not to mention squandering resources, but also squandering the interest of life, is more or less "mixed".

During the rainy season, nylon umbrellas are full of flowers, but most of them are ruined. Or the umbrella is broken, or the umbrella surface falls off, and it is turned over halfway up. Rainwater pours down from the chemical fiber cloth surface that does not draft water. Most of the umbrellas are small and the handle is short. In the past, umbrellas weren't as bright and beautiful as they are now, and they didn't have so many tricks—two folds, three folds, and automatic mechanisms that opened with a "clatter". Umbrellas at that time were mostly black cloth umbrellas or sallow oil cloth umbrellas. They were big and strong. When the rain fell, the sound was also strong, pop, pop, pop. There is a kind of oil-paper umbrella, which is more colorful, but also more fragile, and it will poke a hole if you are not careful. But the wooden umbrellas of the oil-paper umbrella are very finely arranged, and people at that time cherished everything they used. Unlike today's people, things are not things. At that time, when people used umbrellas, they had to open them to dry in the shade, and then put them away. Gradually, the wooden umbrella bones and handles seem to be oiled, and the longer they are used, the stronger they become. The iron umbrella bones will never rust. If the umbrella surface is broken, the craftsmen who repair the umbrella will be repaired. They all have a pair of skillful hands, which are docile and smooth. Hold it out, it is a good umbrella for shelter from the wind and rain. At that time, there were many craftsmen, and there were even bowls! If there is a broken bowl, as long as it is not broken into slag, he has the ability to hit the ballast, and then put a row of nails, and there is no leakage. It sounds like a myth to people today. If a child's ball is broken, it can be repaired by a cobbler. If the rattan chair, rattan couch, or even the basket is broken, it needs to be repaired by a craftsman. How many good craftsmen there are! It's all gone now.

Life is actually much rougher now, with a lot of material being hurriedly swallowed. At that time, life was slow-moving.
