To say that wow wow wow is basically a low-age play.,Very few people play this after the third grade.,Pa Ji is a middle-age game.,It's played from the second grade to the fourth and fifth grades.。 And the cat is blind, even if it is an ageless game that eats all the sizes, it can be played from elementary school to junior high school.

Cat Blind (peek-a-boo) is much simpler, but this game is generally not played during the day, they are all waiting for dinner, and they are running out of the house while running and shouting: "Whose child comes out to play quickly." So in a few minutes a dozen children ran out of the east and west houses, sometimes twenty or thirty, and a large group of hula ran to the factory or construction site next to the house, because there were more bunkers in that place, and the cats began to be blind. Cat blindness refers to blindfolding people's eyes, making him blind and not seeing, in fact, when playing, he has never really blinded anyone, all by grasping people's conscious eyes. Everyone rock-paper-scissors, deciding out one loses the catch, and the rest of the people cats up. This arrester should consciously close his eyes and check ten to twenty numbers aloud, and only after the investigation is completed will he be allowed to open his eyes and start arresting people. There's no cheating.,Honestly check the number with your eyes closed.,After checking and starting to find someone.,Sometimes a game doesn't end and you have to go home to sleep.,Because there are many cats.,Ten o'clock hasn't found it all.。 At that time, it was very contemptible to play cheating with a partner, no matter what you played, once anyone cheated, the next day the children would know, and they all looked at him strangely, and they consciously did not take him or avoided him when playing, which was called miserable, and could only let the adults lead them to other children's homes to apologize, and promise not to cheat again in the future, so that they would slowly re-accept back, and they would be scolded by their parents, for children, this kind of group abandonment is a very severe punishment.

After going to junior high school, the cat is not so playful, change to play kicking the box, put a tin box or a broken basin or something at the starting point, the game has also changed from a simple everyone hiding and waiting to find someone to find a two-sided interaction, looking for someone in the search for someone at the same time must always pay attention to the protection of the tin box or broken basin, the person who is looking for a way to run to the starting point to kick the tin box in the case of ensuring that no one is found, kick to win, everyone then starts, continue to find someone, if in the process of kicking, that is, before the moment of kicking to the box is found by someone to find a shout, it will die, stand there and wait for the next handfulThe dead are not allowed to speak or do anything to help their own side, otherwise this side loses.

Cat Blind is my favorite game to play when I was a child, and it is also the least played big game, with many people involved, and the outcome is difficult to predict.

At that time, there was a construction team in the factory next to my house, which was white and gray, the yard was quite large, there was no gate, there were all kinds of shelves and ladders inside, and there were trolleys, a bunch of them, which was a good place for our cats to be blind, but it was a little dirty, and sometimes the clothes were scratched, and almost every time I went home from playing, I had to be beaten.

I have a classmate, that is, the Wang Zhichang mentioned above, at that time he was small and thin, once the cat was blind at night, he went down the small space under the trolley to the trolley pile, but after nine o'clock and ten o'clock, when the adults came out to call to go home and sleep, Yang Zhendong, who had arrested people, had not found him, so he shouted outside: Wang Zhichang, don't play, come out and go home. He stayed motionless in it, and did not squeak, and finally everyone went home, his parents came out to look for him, and finally my father also went, and many people in the neighborhood went, and he did not answer when he shouted, and finally an adult used a flashlight to shine on him lying in the trolley pile underground, and after going back, he was beaten by his father, and the sound spread for ten miles, and he played for more than an hour, and when he went to school the next day, his arms and legs were all swollen one by one, and he said to Yang Zhendong as if he was fine." You lost last night, you didn't catch me. ”

Among the parents of all my classmates, Dachang and Baoqiu's fathers were the most ruthless in beating their children, so ruthless that they were hung up with wires and pumped with belts.

In addition to cat blindness, there is another game with a large number of participants in the summer, which is the hoop rolling.

Weld a circle with steel bars, some of which are not even welded, or made into a circle with a small notch. Then use the No. 8 iron wire to make a pusher, one side is the grip, the other side is a U-shape, the U-shaped top on the iron ring pushes, the iron ring turns and runs forward, the child follows behind to push, some parents are willing to get it, on the big iron ring with money wire to make some small iron rings on it, a run up loud sound.

When playing, it is often a group of children lined up in a column, each holding an iron ring in their hands, running around along the alleys and alleys, the children shouting, sweating with the dust and flowing all over the neck and face, one by one like a flower monkey, the iron ring is turning, playing so well from beginning to end that the iron ring does not fall, keeps turning, and then looks at other children coaxingly, and other children look admiring.

I didn't have my own iron hoop, my brother had one, but it was given by other children, at that time I just watched other children play, I never played this game, it was a regret of childhood, I don't know why my brother and I didn't have it at that time, it was my father who didn't do it? I don't know, I can't remember.

As for blowing soap bubbles and playing finger games, girls play more, boys also play, my brother and I have played, but this kind of game is played at home, very few other children participate, and it is not very interesting, but in that era, there was nothing, and it was only fun at home. Blowing soap bubbles is a luxury game, and the game consumes soap, and soap is a treasure at home in those years, which family will let the child get into trouble at will. Finger games too, this one needs to use a flashlight, turn off the light, turn on the flashlight, shine on a wall, and then use your fingers to make various shapes, rabbits, dogs, eagles, are illuminated by the flashlight on the wall, lifelike. This also has to be played occasionally, costing batteries, and sometimes adults will scold when they see it, and they have to take a few hits if they don't get their butts.

The other boys played a lot, even if they were riding horses and fighting.

A group of little boys, holding sticks and branches, some of them tied a red cloth to pretend to be red cherry guns. Find a place with dirt bags, or a place up and down the slope, divide the palms and backs of your hands into two groups (palms and backs, everyone stretches out their hands together, the palms are up, and the palms are down), and then a group chooses a commander, and the two commanders are rock-paper-scissors to divide the attacking and defending sides, and then climb to the uphill side, or on top of the dirt bags, line up in formation, and say to the people below: "Ready, attack." The group below rushed upwards under the commander's order, the upper ones pushed down, and the lower ones arched upwards, forming a ball.

Sometimes there is a real fight when you push and push, roll from top to bottom, sit on the ground and cry when you are beaten, and the two commanders will adjust, get up and wipe your tears after a while, and then play, and after a while, the two will fight again, and the commander will coax again. Sometimes the two commanders fight, and the war game is announced to be dispersed, and the two commanders lead their own soldiers to find a place to play something else, which is also interesting to say, once the gang is separated, it seems that there are rules, at this time, no matter which group of children will not be judged, even if the two commanders fight and break up, they will follow the commander, and will not go to the other side to play.

Sometimes, the elder brother and younger brother are on one side, and they will not show favoritism, and at that time, a large group of children, often several pairs of elder brothers and younger brothers, could not all be on one side.

If you are not the youngest when you play war, and you have a military uniform jacket or a military hat, then the possibility of you being a commander is very, very high.

In addition to fighting, there is also playing chalk talc, but this year chalk and talc are considered precious things, not everyone can play, there is a pen to draw and write, there is no just to follow the side of the eyes to watch, from time to time to discuss: "let me take it, let me draw it, let me touch it." Our home is an industrial area, there is very little chalk, but there are a lot of talc pens, I don't know how to make talc pens, it is a white strip, square, like a stone, and the words are written in white. The workers in the factory used it to draw shapes on the iron, and it was everywhere, and it was easy to get some points out and play with them.

"An old Ding head, I borrowed two balls, he said to pay it back in three days, and he didn't pay it back in four days, go eggs, bought three leeks, spent three cents, bought a piece of tofu, and spent six cents and six. At that time, children would read this paragraph, which was the most basic way to play chalk talc, the oral duel of a grinning little old man.

When the winter comes, when the snow buries the earth, there is a white or cyan color everywhere, white is snow, and green is ice.

There are many places where the ice appears by accident, there is no water source and no river, but there is a large piece of ice, and this is very common.

In winter, girls generally hide in the house, and few run out to play with boys, of course, there must be.

When it snows heavily in winter, you can't afford to build a snowman, and there are only two ways to build a snowman, one is to pile up the snow and compact it, press it like a brick, and use the carving method to mold it, and the other is to wait for the snow to melt in spring, when the snow is sticky, and it is easy to roll into a large mass and stick together. In addition to these two methods, if you want to build a snowman, you can only rely on thinking, and the snow will not gather together at all, and it will scatter when you get it. Therefore, at that time, very few children in the Northeast had actually built snowmen, but there were more snowmen in the south, because it was not so cold there, and the snow was half-melted and sticky.

Of course, it is OK to pinch the snow ball and hit the snow pole, which is to melt the snow into a sticky state by the temperature of the hand, and then hold it into a ball. It's impossible to play snow poles with gloves like you can on TV. A group of wild children ran in the vast white field, laughing and screaming, their faces and hands were frozen purple red, sweat formed a mist rising in each little head, and the heat formed frost on the brim of the hat, this is the winter and winter children of that era.

There is also a dangerous game, which can be played in winter and summer, and I don't know if there is one in other places, which is "Gas".

A kind of gray-white stone, the texture is relatively soft, this thing boils when it is wet, and the gas that comes out can be lit with an open flame, at that time we all have a "gas lamp", an iron box below, the upper part is an inverted box, there is a hollow iron pipe, the eye of the needle is a large gas outlet, put a piece of gas in the box, fill the water, buckle the upper part, the boiling gas inside comes out from the eye of the needle, and is used as a lamp after lighting. A matchbox-sized piece of gas can burn for hours.

Children will certainly not use this thing as a lamp, but for frying.

Dig a small pit in the ground, put some urine in it, smash the gas block, put a small piece in the urine, and then listen to the urinal boiling. Find a canned food box, or some thin stone flakes or the like, cover the small pit, leak a little gap, wait a while, use a match, and listen to a loud noise, the canned food box can fly more than ten meters high, and there is a fire. If you use thin stone chips, it will be blown and shattered, and it will collapse everywhere, and of course, the urine inside will also be everywhere. In winter, it's simple, find a snow nest, put gas in it and it will boil, and the snow will be used directly as water. If you don't cover it, as long as the water doesn't dry, this fire can be lit for a long time, and it is a good way to roast your hands when you hit snow poles in winter, but be careful with you, don't get wet or snow, and your clothes will rot into a big hole. Often, it's done here, it's ready, and there's a child who doesn't know the truth called to come over, and when he got closer, he got a match, "Peng", and scared his mother.

In winter, there is also a game that is not a game, or picking up coke. There are many large boilers in the Northeast, and each boiler has to burn a large amount of coal in winter, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon every day, it is the time for the boiler to dig out the hearth, that is, to clean the furnace that has been burned for a day, take out the ashes that have been burned for a day, and pour out the ashes, and fill in new coal.

So at this time, the children of every household are gathered around the dirty pile outside the boiler room, waiting for the boiler room to pour the ashes, and as soon as the car that poured the ashes leaves, the children will carry small baskets, take the clamps bent into the wire, rush up to the still steaming ash pile, endure the heat of the hot feet from the inside of the cinders that have not burned through, because the fire has passed but not burned through, and the coke is almost the same, so it is called coke.

This thing is resistant to burning and has no smoke, and it burns better than coal, besides, if there is more of this thing, coal will be saved, and it costs money to buy coal.

Picking up coke is like fighting a war, comparing eyesight and speed, is a necessary skill for children in this era, watching the children raise their necks with a dirty face, and the cattle coax to carry a small basket full of coke to go home, just like a victorious general, Zhang Xingming has an indescribable feeling in his heart, where can the children of later generations imagine, their parents when they were young, compared to this, pride is also because of this, of course, no matter how dirty it is at this time, it is also a compliment in exchange for going home, and it will not be beaten.

Zhang Xingming also picked up cabbage leaves in the winter in the previous life, but the family conditions in this life are good, so he doesn't have to go out to pick them up every morning like in the previous life, so he didn't look at who was picking them up, but there must be one, the cabbage leaves picked up are frozen hard, and the better ones are eaten as vegetables, and the bad ones are fed to the pigs, which is also a labor of the children at this time.

Carrying water and coal, cleaning up the house and cleaning the glass, this is all children's work, Zhang Xingming worked from childhood to adulthood in his last life. The most uncomfortable thing is to carry water, not enough to be tall, wrap the iron hooks at both ends of the flat shoulder a few times on the flat shoulder, the strength is not enough, pick half a bucket at a time, pick a tank of water after picking, and the shoulders will be purple.
