最穷年月

王敬涛

Generally speaking, I had a happy childhood because I was born after the Cultural Revolution. But there was a period in which I experienced all kinds of hardships.
    When I was ten years old, my father developed a serious oxyhepatitis so he had to be hospitalized, which cost all our savings. Both of my elder sisters went to school in daytime and spent nights at our relative’s. My mother had to look after my father in the hospital, so the home completely belonged to me. I was alone, forgotten.
    There was no food at home except a small can of orange, which was delicious and rare but would not be enough to stuff me. I invited my classmates one by one to my home to taste the canned orange. If they ate one section, I would go to their home and get a steamed bun, as a fair exchange. A week later, the canned orange was eaten up. I began to beg food from neighbors. Two weeks passed, my mother seemed suddenly to think of me. A relative was sent to visit our home, he was surprised to see me alive.
    My father had been in hospital for about two months before coming back, uncured because we had no more money to pay the high cost of hospitalizing. He was extremely disappointed to find there was nothing in his wooden safe. He thought he would never get well, so went desperate and bad-tempered. Every time he went to farm he would say it was for us, not for himself.
    “I’m reaping wheat for you…you,” he stressed the word as he went out, a sickle in his hand, face down.
    Mother used to say nothing when she heard that, misty eyes on his back. The days went extremely gloomy.
    There was too much corvee then, which included digging river silt. The fact of being seriously ill didn’t save my father from the forced labor. He thought he would probably die, but he had to go. No one would listen to his complaints. No chance to argue.
    The family was too poor to buy any stationery for children. I lost my math book, had no rubber, borrowed a pencil from my deskmate. One day our teacher asked us to buy an exercise book, which was worth eleven fen. I searched high and low for coins. It was only nine fen that was found at last. My mother sobbed, feeling guilty for not being able to buy the book. To her great disappointment but within expectation, I came last in the following math exam.
    The difficult situation lasted two years. Luckily, my father conquered the disease at long last. The family took a turn for the better.
    How sad indeed to look back upon these things! It was a time that you can’t bear to think of!
    There appeared some difficult periods in my life later, but they were trivial compared with that toughest one. Now, whatever gets in the way of me living, I will never cower, not to mention giving up.

我小时候家里也挺穷，蓬莱乡下的，烟台的亲戚还看不起，一条裤子我爹结婚穿完了给我姑姑结婚穿，上幼儿园时候还在乡下，突然有一天全家进城了，现在才知道是父母做生意赚到钱了，生活慢慢好起来了。
天天躺床上哭穷没用，还是得自己一点点干活。

seem to可以看成一个单词，不能拆开，中间不能加副词suddenly。

个人意见啊，不到之处，楼主莫怪。

suddenly修饰seem，可以放在seem前面。原句可以改成Two weeks passed, my mother suddenly seemed to think of me.
seem to搭配是比较紧密，但不是绝对不可以拆分，有时在中间加上个状语也还是可以的。

不怪不怪，学术争鸣，善莫大焉。

教书育人，不喜勿喷。
洋文二字，凸显国人改革开放精神之倒退。
