I am a middle school student. My name is Wang Jing. My grandfather is 70 years old. He often says life has changed a lot. It becomes better and better. I ask him what life was like when he was a child. The following is what he says.
When he was a child, he used to feel hungry. There didn't use to be enough food for him to eat. He has two brothers and two sisters. His parents were both farmers. They were very poor and couldn't let their children eat as much as possible. As for clothes, they didn't use to have enough clothes. They didn't use to buy new clothes. The younger brothers and sisters often wore their elder brothers' and sisters' clothes. My grandfather is the youngest. Only he went to the university and worked in the city. His brothers and sisters didn't get enough education. Now my grandfather has retired(退休) and lives a happy life. He can eat any food that he wants. He can buy clothes that he wants to buy. He says he is much happier than before. He often asks me to study hard. He says if I work hard, I can have a good future.
