Chapter 39: Bicycles

If it is an adult bird in the alley, Hong Tao's pole is still a little short, at this time the trees in the alley are very high, where is the bird this thing to climb high, how to get a long pole of more than 8 meters to stick, this is a hard work, Hong Tao is currently unable to lift such a heavy pole.

Hong Tao often thinks, if you go to buy a 15-meter fishing rod to stick to the birds, this should be more than 2 pounds!

But just think about it, at this time, fishing rods are still a luxury, just like buying brand-name golf clubs in the future, an 8-meter-long fishing rod is about to catch up with a month's salary.

In fact, the BJ people in the elderly do not call dragonflies and dragonflies, and they give different names to different species of dragonflies. For example, the more common yellow body is called old glaze, probably because the color of their body is the same as that of glazed tiles.

In addition to the ordinary yellow dragonfly, there is also a kind of green or blue dragonfly, which is bigger and more beautiful, and in BJ they are called old seeds, old poles, old seeds, old seeds, and a female one, with a round tail and a male one, and a very bright body color. These two things are rare during the day, they basically can't stick, and as soon as the sky is dark, they fly out, and they fly very fast, which is difficult to catch.

The wisdom of the working people is unlimited, and I don't know who has nothing to do to sum up the experience of catching old seeds, that is, to find a place with old seeds, make a fist-sized white paper ball, tie it with a rope, hold it in your hand and make a circle, the faster the better, and then hold a dragonfly net in the other hand to prepare. At this time, the old seed will hit your flying white paper ball regardless of it, and you see the opportunity to use the net to catch it, and it is one.

The dragonfly net was also made by the children themselves at that time, the bamboo was a circle, and the cotton thread was used in this circle like a fishing net, woven into a net from the outside to the inside. Hong Tao didn't have this thing, but his uncle had one, which was made for him by his grandfather, and the handle was still wrapped with copper wire. Sometimes after dinner, it is really idle, Hong Tao called on the golden moon, took the little uncle's dragonfly net, and trotted all the way to the edge of the moat, where there are already many adults and children in the white paper ball to catch the old seeds.

Hong Tao must not be with these laymen to grab a place, he must play tricks, and live up to his identity as a traverser. When others were catching on the riverbank, he directly found a relatively shallow place, waded under the river, and stood in the middle of the river to catch it. At this time, the water of the north moat was less than a meter deep at its deepest, and in some places it was full of stones, and the water reached to the knees.

Dragonflies are flying back and forth to catch insects to eat, where is the most insects? Not on the shore, but on the river. When it's not dark yet, you look down at the sky, and the small flying insects on the river surface are all in clusters, so the old seeds on the river surface are also the most, and they all fly low against the river surface. The best effect is to turn a white paper ball here, and you don't have to hold a dragonfly net to fan back and forth, just buckle it into the water, and the dragonfly wings are dipped in water, and you won't be able to fly for a while.

However, this method can not last, because there are not only dragonflies and old seeds on the river, but also many mosquitoes, and no one can stand it after standing for a long time.

After the old seed is caught, you can play with it. For example, tie a cotton thread to its tail and tie a match. This weight is just enough to make it want to fly but not fly high, fly for a while and then it has to land, and then it will chase a group of children behind it, shouting and running all over the alley, it is not dark, and it will not be taken home, and the parents will not be able to pull it back. Happy this thing, it turns out that it's so simple, it's always a small bug, you can be happy for hours, and you can run all over in sweat in the summer.

Hong Tao is very envious of the simple and pure happiness of these children, he has also chased and run, but the happiness has not been exchanged, in exchange for sweat, he has to go to the toilet to take a shower, he can't sleep with sweat on his body. After trying it a few times, he knew that he couldn't find this happiness anymore, his mind had been polluted, just like a drop of ink on a white paper, no matter how you wiped it, it was impossible to completely erase it, and besides, there was no longer a drop of ink on his white paper, it was almost black paper, you have to ask how many places are white.

"Brother Xiaotao, the grandmother who sells popsicles is here, let's go and help her push the cart!" Jin Yue, who was running with a group of little kids running with a red face, was tired of playing, and squatted with Hong Tao again, then poked Hong Tao's arm, and pointed to the white popsicle cart in the distance. She has been with Hong Tao for a long time, and her speech has become obscure, and she wants to eat popsicles, not to say that she wants to eat popsicles, but she has to say that she wants to help her grandmother push the cart.

"Hey...... You and my brother-in-law are two grasshoppers, sooner or later you will suck my blood dry!" Hong Tao took out a 5-cent steel from his pocket and handed it to Jin Yue, watching her run towards the popsicle car with a small braid, the more she felt a kind of powerlessness, relying on the scattered silver taels given by her grandfather and father, I am afraid that she will not be able to support herself in elementary school.

"Money! You bloodless knife!" Hong Tao has never forgotten about making money, but it has been almost a year since he crossed over, and he has not come up with a way to make money, especially a method suitable for his age.

Originally, he was counting on using the earth heater to exchange for some money, but after letting his aunt-in-law take Yangguangda, in addition to sending eggs, peanuts, and fruits to his grandmother's house and his own house every once in a while, his father didn't want money from others, and it was impossible to give it to himself directly, this opportunity was in vain. But what else can make money in this era without being noticeable? Hong Tao was puzzled.

"You go to your colleague to borrow a loan, you haven't tried it yet, how do you know it's not possible! I go to work every day to squeeze the bus slowly, and it's easy to be late, but you have a car to ride, so what about me?" When I went home at night, Hong Tao just walked to the door of the house, and his mother's voice came out of the house, Hong Tao stopped and listened, it seemed that his mother wanted to buy a bicycle, but the industrial volume was not enough, so he asked his father to borrow it from a colleague, and the result can be imagined, my father must have shirked in every possible way and refused to go.

"It's also difficult for other people's homes, how can I open my mouth like this, or I'll ride you off in the future, and I'll leave after sending you to the unit." "My father really refused to give up his face.

"What if you don't have classes in the morning? You will send me too?" The mother asked a very important question, my father did not sit in shifts, he only went to work when he had classes, and he did not have to go to work if he did not have classes.

"......" his father stopped talking, he often read books and saw the early morning, a typical night owl, so that he could get up early every day, but it was difficult for him to do it until he was late to criticize the fight.

"Mom, don't force my dad, he's thin-skinned, I'll figure out a way for you about the bicycle, but you have to give me some money...... It's about 8 or 9o yuan, and I'll get you one in a few days. Hong Tao listened and suddenly his heart moved, opened the door and walked in.

“…… Let's go take a shower, save some water, our family's water bill this month is the first in the whole building!"

"Listen to me, I really have a place to get you a bike, and it's brand new, but I don't have a ticket for the whole car, but all the parts have a ticket. Hong Tao put the towel on his shoulder, approached his parents very mysteriously, and whispered.

"All parts have tickets, what do you mean?" the father heard from Hong Tao's words.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I can figure out a way, Dad, have you been to the bike shop at the front door?" Hong Tao sat on the bed and involuntarily lifted Erlang's legs.

"I've been there, I've gone to buy an inner tube, what's wrong?" my father still didn't understand what Hong Tao was going to say.

"I ask you, are there all the parts sold in the bike shop?"

"Pretty ......"

"Do you want a bicycle ticket to buy bicycle parts?" Hong Tao almost lost his laughter in both eyes.

"You...... You have to buy spare parts and save your own bicycle!!" The father finally understood, he glared at his mother, and then the two of them stared at Hong Tao together.

"Don't have this expression, if I say that I save a rocket or something, it must be bragging, a broken bicycle, and it's not a high-tech, what can't you save by yourself! If you don't believe it, we can try, I use your bicycle as an experiment, we both dismantle it, and then I'll save it for you, do you think it?" Hong Tao began to ** his father again.

"What if you can't save it!" the mother was still relatively sober.

"There is no 100% success in doing things, there are risks, I can only guarantee that I can save it, as for whether you believe it or not, you will only know if you try it. It's a big deal, let's go to the bicycle shop with the parts and spend money for the family to save up. Hong Tao really couldn't prove that he had this ability, so he could only pin his hopes on his father.

"That's it, I'm out of the way, wait for Sunday, let's try!" "My father asked Hong Tao to say that he was tempted, if he could really succeed, he wouldn't have to borrow a bicycle ticket from his mother, this ** is very big.

"Wait a minute, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! How can we test without tools?" Hong Tao asked another serious question.
