Chapter 18: Childhood Toys

Hong Tao estimated that this idea was 100% thought up by Director Bai, she was not only inflicting cruel corporal punishment on her uncle, but also torturing her uncle's young mind and making him lose face in front of his nephew, so as to achieve the goal of making him make fewer mistakes in the future. However, Hong Tao felt that Director Bai's original intention was probably difficult to achieve, she underestimated the thickness of her uncle's face, he could snatch popsicles from his little nephew to eat, and he could also get pocket money from his little nephew's pocket to spend, and he didn't shy away from his classmates, do you think he can care about being punished in front of his little nephew?

As for whether the little uncle is ashamed or not, Hong Tao is not interested in researching, the only thing he can do is to bring some water to the little uncle from time to time, or he will come to eat a piece of candy, and he must not show a little ridicule. In the next few years, at least before junior high school, I have to rely on my little uncle to support me, and sending charcoal in the snow is what I should do!

After staying at school all morning and returning to his grandmother's house for lunch, the afternoon time was truly at Hong Tao's disposal. He can sleep at home, play in the alleys, or wander the streets, as long as he can pass his father's exams at night.

It sounds perfect, but it's not. It's impossible to sleep all afternoon, it's an empty word to go to the alley to play, other children don't go to nursery, or they go to school, he can't see any from 2 to 1o years old, no matter how big the child is, he wants to play with others, and people don't take him to play. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is a child playing with him, he will not be annoyed after half an hour of playing.

What do kids play at this time? Don't think about computer games, even Americans don't have real home computers at this time. Not to mention mobile phones, landline telephones are invisible to ordinary people, and if you want to make a call, you have to go to a public phone, not a public phone booth, but a public phone located in the neighborhood committee. As for BMX, roller skating and the like, there is none.

As for the toys, there are blocks, real blocks, made of wood blocks and painted with different colors. There is also a kind of duck car that can be called, which is also made of wood, the front of the car is a duck head, and the back is a wooden car, there are 4 wooden wheels and a small mechanism below, as long as the wheel turns, the crankshaft will pluck the drumstick, knocking on the wooden board at the bottom of the car.

If a boy has a toy gun, it should be considered a better one among friends, if you can have a submachine gun made of iron, and the barrel can also produce fire (it can be loaded with flint, and there will be gears to rub the flint when you pull the trigger, and you can shoot fire), then you will be ox x big. For example, children play war games together, children with good guns must be decent protagonists, and children without guns have to be killed villains. If children at that time were allowed to play games like CS, 100% would choose to be policemen, and none of them would choose bandits, this is the difference of the times.

Girls definitely don't play with guns, dolls are their favorite, if there is no doll to get a rag doll, their game content is generally to play doctor patient, the child is a doctor, the doll is the patient, holding the pen tube as a needle, according to the doll's butt is a needle.

These toys have to be bought for money, but there are many children in the family, and each child may not be able to give a toy, and these toys can not meet the child's game**, so more handmade zuò or waste toys appeared.

The most common is to shoot the cigarette box, the cigarette box, is the outer packaging of the cigarette, the cigarette box is to fold the cigarette paper into a triangle, and then put it on the ground to take turns with the cigarette box in their hands to fan, using the power of the air, the other party's cigarette box fan turned over, even if you win, generally whoever wins, will take away the cigarette box that the other party participated in, which is also a disguised gamble.

Cigarette boxes and cigarette boxes are not the same, the more expensive and high-grade cigarette boxes are, the rarer they are, so this kind of cigarette box is also the most precious in the eyes of children, and a good cigarette box can be worth 2 or more cigarette boxes. For example, a Chinese cigarette box of 1 yuan and 2 cents is definitely more precious than a box of 2 cents of Dafeng Harvest cigarettes, and a 5 cent Dafeng Harvest is definitely more popular than 9 cents of thrifty brand cigarettes.

At that time, there were so many cigarette brands in Beijing, the common ones were Daqianmen, Badaling, Beijing brand, diligence and thrift, and a bumper harvest. In addition, it is a kind of cigarettes packaged in white paper, which are generally purchased internally by the employees of the cigarette factory, and there is no brand on the package, but there are cigarettes, as for what brand it is, it depends on what kind of cigarettes the cigarette factory produces. Hong Tao's father smokes this kind of cigarette all year round, because Hong Tao's aunt works in a Beijing cigarette factory, and she can get close to the water and the building, and the aunt only smokes cigarette bags and pots, so these cigarettes are cheap Hong Tao's father.

Don't underestimate these two internal cigarettes every month, which is more precious than food in the eyes of smokers at that time, although Beijing at this time no longer has to buy cigarettes with tickets, but for smokers, the money to buy cigarettes every month is also a large amount, if the conditions at home are not good, you can only buy the cheapest smoke, and even buy tobacco leaves and cigarette paper to roll a cannon to smoke.

In addition to cigarette boxes, matchboxes can also be photographed, with similar rules as cigarette boxes, or simply fold white paper into squares and fan like cigarette boxes.

In addition, you can also play with popsicle sticks, mosaic porcelain tiles, glass balls, petioles of poplar leaves, and slingshots and chain guns to play with larger ones. These are all boys' gadgets, and girls can play with even fewer things, except for playing house, hopscotch, throwing sandbags, jumping rubber bands, and crutches, there seems to be nothing to play.

Of course, Hong Tao doesn't have the patience and determination to play these games with children who are a few years old, playing games, including gambling, aside from winning or losing, the most addictive thing is to be able to have opponents of equal strength to compete with you, which is the same as playing chess, chess is fun when you meet opponents, and one-sided slaughter is very boring. Hong Tao didn't think that these children could play with themselves, and even if they were better at playing games, Hong Tao couldn't stand the dirt on their bodies, the mud on their hands, and the snot hanging from under their noses.

Could it be that Hong Tao has nothing to play in this era? It can be said that he really has nothing to play with, especially the 4o-year-old soul with the body of a 4-year-old child, and he really can't find a suitable entertainment project, and he can't let 4-year-old Hong Tao play cards or mahjong with those adults shirtless and a cigarette in his mouth! By the way, there are very few people playing mahjong in Beijing in this era, because the special period has not yet ended, and mahjong is also the four olds, and there are not many people who have the courage to keep it.

However, Hong Tao is not worried that he will be lonely in the afternoon, he currently has two very important things to do. The first is about one's own image, specifically the question of dressing. Hong Tao has been very dissatisfied with his image since he crossed over, and he can make do when the weather eases, at most his pants are a little fatter. But the weather is getting colder and colder, and you have to wear cotton pants in December, but after Hong Tao saw his cotton pants in the closet, he felt like jumping off a building!

This is a pair of cotton pants with a blue background covered with small red flowers! There is no waistband, and two straps are directly carried on the shoulders. The style doesn't matter, the bib pants are the bib pants, it's a bit retro, but this color is too **, you say you want to be glamorous, just have a bright color, so it can be regarded as a gimmick, or you just plain and elegant, and it's not so eye-catching to wear, with a dark background with small red flowers, this should be the cotton pants worn by boys!

Hong Tao doesn't blame his parents for preparing a pair of such cotton pants for himself, and his parents are not rich. Although the two of them have few children and their income is okay, they have to hand over their grandfather's living expenses, and they have to send money to Hong Tao's two uncles in the middle. In order to reduce the burden on my grandmother, my father's two older brothers gave up their studies in their teens and followed a friend of my grandfather's early years to the Northeast, which is said to be digging coal mines, so that they could not only support themselves, but also send some money to their grandmother so that my father could continue to go to school.

In the end, the parents had to provide Hong Tao with the rest of the money, because he drank milk since he was a child, so he had an extra milk money every month. Coupled with my father's cigarette money and my mother's cleaning supplies, in general, my parents don't have much money left in a month. And Hong Tao's body has grown too fast, his head has jumped sharply, this year's clothes, especially the pants, will be short next year, so it is impossible to buy new clothes, like this cotton pants, maybe it is changed with the cotton pants that my aunt used when she was a child. As for whether boys are suitable to wear girls' pants, it is not in the scope of adults' consideration at all.

If it was the original Hong Tao, it is estimated that he would have put it on, a 4-year-old kid, who knows what beauty and ugliness he is. But now Hong Tao is different, you have to say bring a patch, old, not very fitting clothes, Hong Tao is not too disgusted, but this kind of girl wears the color Hong Tao can't accept it 100%, so he immediately has to do one thing, change his clothes!

Changing clothes is a technical job, not something that can be done in two days, but Hong Tao is capable, to be precise, he once studied a one-year clothing cutting course in his later life, and after graduating from high school, he was not admitted to college, so he went to a clothing school to learn tailoring. It's not that he likes clothes, it's not that he loves the industry, it's a very obscene motive to say it, he went to the female students in the clothing school, because there are so many female students here. However, after only studying for a little more than a year, I was forced by my father to go back to review my homework, and the next year I was admitted to my father's Beijing Iron and Steel Institute.
