Chapter 34: The Forgotten Pleasures (1)

(Today's business trip, released regularly, ask for recommendation ticket collection)

At the end of March, when the primary school opened, Zhang Xingming continued to be his primary school student, going to school and leaving school with his brother, going to the army every day to eat and drink and watch TV. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Mom has come out of the big collective to sell popsicles, the location is the same as the previous life, the door of the non-staple food store, the concentrator this non-staple food company is a two-story building, the first floor is the non-staple food company and grain station, the second floor is the department store and the concentrator factory retired workers activity station, and the place where the stall is set up is the bus station, which is the place with the largest flow of people in this area, which makes the eyes of several other popsicles red.

In the last life, the family was in difficulty, Zhang Xingming and his brother had to help the family sell popsicles every day after school and when they didn't go to school on Sundays, using a small cardboard box, filling twenty or thirty at a time, covering them with quilts, and walking the streets and alleys to sell, and the young voices of two people could be heard from time to time in the streets and alleys of Guojiabao: "Sweet popsicles, popsicles." At that time, Zhang Xingming's shoulders were always purple and purple by the strap of the box, and he rarely played with his classmates, and slowly his classmates stopped playing with him, and he developed the habit of staying alone and doing things, and he had few friends when he grew up.

This life is different, the family is rich, there is no annoyance, Zhang Xingming and his brother are liberated, only my father is still like the previous life, laundry, cooking and selling popsicles after work, Zhang Xingming and his brother are having fun.

At the beginning of spring, you can fly kites, but at that time, there were no kites for sale, and they all made their own. Find a few thin bamboo sticks, a wall calendar, and a few plain pieces of paper. Stretch the bamboo stick into a bow and arrow shape with a thread, tie it into a cross, and paste the calendar on it, this is the kite head, it is not possible to use ordinary paper here, it is too thin and it will be broken when it goes to the sky. Then attach the tail, which can be a long strip of paper, or you can glue the paper into a ring. The line used for kite flying is generally a fishing line, which is light and strong.

To fly a kite to find a very open place, there can be no trees, no wires and tall buildings, which was too simple in that era, it can be put everywhere, unlike now, the buildings are high and narrow, the wires are like spider webs in the air, and if you want to fly a kite, you can only go to the outskirts of the city to find a place, which has become very rare.

Pull and run, while running and pulling, the kite flies, so quickly release the line, keep pulling the line to control the state of the kite, watching the kite fly higher and higher, the children on the side applaud and shout, the child suddenly like winning a prize, proud. There are also times when the weight is not mastered, and the kite just gets up and plunges to the ground, and the children on the side will say "oh", and they will be dejected, feeling ashamed.

It is said that my brother is very good at making kites, the longest kite he made is more than three meters and nearly four meters, and he can't see it clearly, and the kite made by Zhang Xingming has never flown to a high place, at most a few meters high and it will be rooted, no matter how hard he tries to do it, including the paper airplanes he stacked, they are all the kind that fall to the ground as soon as he lets go, and he has no talent in this area, so that Zhang Xingming has lost a lot of face in his previous life, and he is the object of ridicule by his classmates.

When I got to school, I was much more elegant.

The female students jumped the rubber band and played Gaha (the bone of the knee joint of the hind leg of the pig and sheep, dyed red or yellow), and the male students jumped the house, bounced the glass ball, ran the city, and jumped the horse. Pocket throwing (punching sandbags) was one of the few games that could be played by men and women, and at that time, boys and girls generally did not play together, and if they played together, other male and female classmates would laugh at them.

Hopscotch is to jump to the end and back with one leg according to the drawn grid, and in the process to pick up the small stones thrown into the grid beforehand, of course, when picking up a single leg, the curled leg is considered a failure, and someone else has come. The jumping grid is generally nine squares, but there are also seven and eleven squares, but there are not many people who play.

At that time, boys and girls didn't play together, and boys' games and girls' games were very clearly separated, and no one crossed the border, and they would be laughed at by children. But there is one exception to the game, which is the flip hub.

Turning the flower hub is to take a rope to tie a dead ring, with both hands to turn out a variety of flower shapes, the more difficult it is, at that time, this is a more exquisite game for children to play, adults and children can play, children themselves can also play, boys and girls will also play together. When playing, a group of boys and girls will be around, and whichever side turns it out will get a piece of applause, like a game.

The bouncing glass ball is divided into field play and position play, field play is to play casually, there is no field limit, draw a starting line, hit to win. The position is different, you have to dig a small pit in the ground, and one of the middle pits has to be dug wider than the others, which is the river. When playing, everyone is at the starting point, generally about three meters away from the dug pit, draw a line from here, and then bounce the glass ball into the dug pit after the line, to bounce from the first to the last to win, in this process, to beat out others, but also to let the ball fall into the middle of the river, fall into it and die, considered a loss. And the one who was beaten out also lost. The glass ball is only the size of the little finger, and it can hit other balls on the ground with a few meters away, and it can roll into the pit accurately.

I played with glass balls, but I played very badly, I remember that I was in the fourth or fifth grade, and no classmates took me to play this, because I played too stinky.

In junior high school, no one plays the glass ball, this is an exclusive game for primary school students, and no one deliberately divides it, but when I go to junior high school, I consciously stop playing, in fact, the children's rules are the most powerful, and everyone will consciously abide by them, and they will not exceed a little bit.

Running the city is very simple, draw a zigzag on the ground, the two horizontal lines in the middle are double lines, and there is a width of 50 centimeters in the middle, and the person who catches it is standing here, and he can't step on the line. The runner should cross the middle two lines from the space at one end of the word and run to the other end, and he cannot go out of the line or step on the line. Running past and not being photographed by the people in the middle line is considered to win, which is a test of speed and a test of reaction and explosiveness. This game was the longest time we played at that time, and the most people participated, from first grade to junior high school, every recess playground was full of people running the city, one by one sweating profusely and panting.

Jumping a horse, in some places called riding a donkey, has no meaning of scolding, just a simple name.

Usually three or four people play, but there are also many people involved, but it is easy to fight and dangerous when there are many people.

Everyone uses rock-paper-scissors to decide one to win, one to lose, the one to win, the one to lose, the one to lose, and the others to be horses. The person who makes the pile stands against the wall, when the horse bends over, puts his head on the belly of the pile, and then bends down in turn, puts his head on the buttocks of the person in front of him, and lines them up, and then the person who jumps from behind the horse, runs a few steps, jumps from behind the horse, rides directly on the back of the first horse, and after sitting down, and the pile rock-paper-scissors, the losing one makes the horse, the winning one jumps, and then the first horse is the pile, and so on.

This game was very popular in elementary school at that time, and almost all boys of that era had the experience of being ridden. But this game is also the easiest to fight.,Either the horse in front of it farts.,Or it's jumping to smash the horse down.,Or there's a lot of people playing.,The jumping person can't jump on the back of the first horse.,To move forward little by little from behind.,Anyway, all kinds of situations.,Often suddenly fight.,A bunch of people scolded, beat, cried, persuaded to pull.,Someone quit after a while.,The rest continue to play.怂 The small ones are often knocked to the ground, and everyone rolls into a ball.

This game is still dangerous.,Sometimes this side jumps up.,That side of the pile dodge.,It's directly hit the wall.,It's what happened to my brother and their classmates.,The kid hit and went to the hospital.怂 One of my classmates jumped up and jumped violently, collided directly with the pile, two people had a head bleeding, one tooth was laid off on the spot, the teacher looked for the parents, was beaten by the parents, and the next day, the two buddies jumped again. At this time, the child is in today's words: skin.

Skipping rope and kicking shuttlecock is very common, and today's students are still playing, but the rope and shuttlecock used at that time are unimaginable to today's children, the rope is from the factory or where to get the wire skin, or the hospital with the lashing belt, the shuttlecock is homemade, the shuttlecock made of iron sheets, the glass wire rope is broken up, and worn on it. Or someone can get chicken feathers, and tie a chicken feather shuttlecock by yourself, which will definitely make other students envy for a semester.

In the summer, a large group of wild boys get together to shoot wah-wah, just playing with yellow mud. The yellow mud here in Zhang Xingming's house is very large, and it is sticky and hard with water. A large group of children, some with clothes, some from home baskets, some with school bags, dug back the loess from the foot of the mountain next to the gate of the concentrator, and then made a wah-wah sound under the staff dormitory building of the concentrator. The dormitory building is in front of Zhang Xingming's house, just out of the courtyard. At the bottom of the dormitory building, there is a cement drip table, which extends out from the corner of the building and is less than two meters wide, making it a treasure place to play wow wow sound.

Mix the yellow mud with water, find the contrast between the good water and the yellow mud, and dry it can't make a wow wow sound. After reconciliation, first the yellow mud on the cement platform to break into four squares, the appearance of the yellow mud block is oily and smooth, and then begin to pinch, one of the sides into a nest, like a square bowl, when pinching, pay attention to the bottom surface is slightly thinner than the four sides of the wall, the thickness of one side should be even, this is a technical work, directly affect the success rate.

The big guys are all done and start playing.

In order, everyone threw the finished wow wow sound one by one onto the cement platform downstairs. This must be played on the cement platform, because it is flat enough, if it is uneven, it cannot be played, and it will not make a sound.

When falling, moisten the four sides of the bowl with water again, and then hold it in your hand, the bowl mouth is downward, and you can fall to the cement table violently, to ensure that the four sides of the bowl mouth hit the ground at the same time, just listen to the crisp sound of "pop", and the bottom of the bowl will explode, which is a success. Don't underestimate this thing, the sound of falling out is not small, and it is time to catch up with the whip released during the New Year.

Then everyone evaluates together, who falls loudly, who is stinky, stinky people take the household goods to dig the loess and end the water, and the winner waits, waiting for the loess and water to come, and starts the next round. This thing can't be reused, and the yellow mud that has been dropped is thrown aside, and it can't be made wow, even if you fool around and pinch it out, it won't make a sound.

It's all seven or eight-year-old children, playing with water and mud, which is a lot of situations, not to mention that they get their bodies full of faces, and inadvertently get it on others, so you wipe me, I paint you, often cause a scuffle, there are crying, laughing, running, jumping, tossing for a long time before remembering to get up and then make a wow wow sound, and after a while, someone will get someone else, and another melee, all in all, after school, play this, and when it comes to dinner, every house is "pop, pop", "ah-woo-woo-" When I came out to play after dinner, everyone changed their clothes, and they were all grinning and lame, and all of them had broom marks on their buttocks, so they had a memory today, and they didn't play with mud, and they began to snap or cat blind (Tibetan cats).
