……………
The rain is pouring down all over the sky, the rain flowers are like a beautiful man dancing, in front of the courtyard, a layer of white water is paved on the ground, the sky is raining, and the ground is water. The underwater water for half a day was really big, sitting in the hall, looking at the rain curtain outside the door, cutting off the line of sight, hazy with the big white not far away. I don't know if it's a big river, or if it's a splash on the surface of the water that doesn't come and flows into the big river.
The mountain rain and mountain wind, the leaves falling in the yard, like a flat boat, drifting in the water, in this stormy morning. At this time, the children around Li Feng were full of excitement, and the first float was baked, although the blue and white bamboo pieces could be seen, it was still not perfect.
But these yijing made a few children shout and rush to play, as for Li Feng at this time, he had a headache, who is this car for. Really, four little radish, big eyes that are also full of longing, black and shiny, cute baby, naughty cute, quiet and sensible bell, timid and somewhat timid Rugged.
"Hehe, don't worry, it's all there." Li Feng smiled and began to take out paper bags, which were filled with various colors of paint. Li Feng took out a few bamboo tubes from the wooden box and handed them to a few children. "Mengmeng, you guys can help borrow some water." The rain outside is not small, and a few little radishes have long wanted to go out to fetch water to play, which is exactly what a few people want.
The pigment is mainly yellow, supplemented by red, green and blue, yellow is the base, and red, green and blue depict the petals, so the yellow dye material is less and more water, and the others should be colored, and the water is less and the material is more, of course, this is relative. Li Feng prepared the dye and took out a few small brushes, a few children are now looking at it with nothing to do, just brush the yellow background, this is the easiest, just brush it on all sides, don't have to draw carefully.
"What are you doing here?" The women who started chatting didn't notice this, but when they saw more and more bamboo chips on the ground, a few people were a little puzzled, these bamboo pieces were boxy and not big, what could they do. Several people are from the city, and they don't know much about these small toys in mountain villages, Li Feng explained with a smile. This has aroused the interest of several people, this rainy day, thunder and lightning can't watch TV, there is nothing to do a few women to help Li Feng sketch the above petals, it is simple to say, three-petal flowers, only symmetry, the wheel is even simpler, point out three dots, when you turn it, it looks like a three-color mixture from a distance.
Most of the parts of the kung fu float are dyed, but unfortunately due to rainy days, these must be put for a period of time, otherwise if it is a sunny day, most of them can be pretended to be a float and pushed to play. There are more than ten floats, Li Feng can't make hundreds or thousands of them like other people's homes, and he is not selling things, but just things for a few children to play with.
"Gone?" Liu Lan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and several people laughed, this time he became a child, and he started to play, but there are not many here. Li Feng smiled faintly, ran into the house and took out a wooden box again, this place is different from the float is simple, the things here are much more complicated.
"Wow, Mengmeng, come on, Dad has made a lot of little bird heads." The baby lies on the wooden box and stretches out his head to see, pinching a small bird's head-like thing, this bird's head is nailed to the rectangular bamboo piece below, the bamboo piece looks like a body, pay attention to it will find that this is like a bird without claws and wings.
"Zhende, there are a lot of them here, uncle, these are wings, wow, and wire, what is this. You see, there are so many little drums. "It's not that Meng Meng is holding seven or eight small drums in her hands, these small drums are all made of small bamboo joints, and a layer of cigarette box paper is applied on them. Hitting with your hands is different from the sound of a drum with a crisp, thumping sound, a bit like a cuckoo call, which is quite fun, not counting the bamboo cut into a stick and wearing a triangular plank, which is not more than an inch thick. There is also a kind of wooden shelf, two planks are inlaid together, and the tail is known to be a small hole where a pole can be inserted, and the two planks are like a boat, but there is no plank in the middle. …,
As for the bird's wings, they are just cut out of cigarette box paper, and the style is almost identical, and it seems that they are made according to the mold, but there is wire through the wings.
"What is this, it's so weird." Manying saw a few guys pick up all the things in the wooden box and put them aside, most of these things were made by Li Feng's father, these are more complicated than the float, Li Feng is not easy to do, so he can only beg Li Shan to help make some, anyway, there are not many. Li Shan began to feel that it was troublesome to do this little thing, listening to his son say to his grandson and granddaughter to play, without saying a word, he moved to help make the body and bird head. How can you say that Li Jiagang has never played these two things, but it is a shameful thing to say it. This is a toy that has been passed down by the Li family for hundreds of years, and it contains love for children. For a long time, these things have been made by the elders themselves, but over the years, many of them have not remembered this custom, or felt that it was troublesome, and most people were willing to buy it from others and give it to their children, which made many families have more income.
"yes, these look a bit like boats, and these little drums, these little bird heads, I see, it's with the wings." Liu Lan took the wings, and the bird's head was connected to the rectangular bamboo board of the body, and put it together, zhende can. But these things, put together, with the previous understanding, these things are mostly one. But how to put it together, not to mention anything else, the bird's wings and head seem to be independent. "Li Feng, what are you doing like this?"
"Hehe, I said it, you may not understand, I put one out, you can see it." Li Feng said, picked up these parts and began to put them together, first there are triangular bamboo sticks through the small holes on both sides of the wooden board, and the wheels are installed, so that the model comes out, and the gap in front is just stuck in the small drum, and then the bamboo stick similar to the axle, after the small drum passes through several thin iron wires to cross the current situation is a bamboo stick, in this way, push the car, the triangular plank hits the bamboo stick, and the bamboo stick hits the small drum. These are not counted, the ears on the body of the bird are symmetrically punched, the bamboo strips are inserted, the top of the car is inserted, and the wings are perforated with thin wire to the bird with small holes.
After these are done, the wire buckle in the middle of the wings is made a small hole in the wheel, the wheel installation should pay attention to keep the small hole horizontal, the length of the wire is moderate, at least when the small hole goes to the bottom, the wire is enough, of course, it is not too long, otherwise when the wheel rolls, pull the wire, can not effectively control the wing fanning.
Li Feng quickly completed the assembly, pulled out the bamboo pole of the float, inserted it in the bird's buttocks, the jack, pushed it and tried it, the drum sound was not loud, the wings were inconsistent, the problem of this car was not small, the wheels were not generally big, really, Li Feng was secretly sweating, this bamboo duck was really a little difficult, a few difficulties, and I didn't get one of them right.
But he didn't notice that the sparkle in the eyes of a few children, the surprise in the eyes of a few people, such a bird float, flapping its wings, like a bird, and the drum sound like the chirping of a cuckoo, this zhende is a toy. zhende is like a work of art, Li Feng adjusted the thin iron wire of the foreskin tied with the bamboo stick in the middle, tried it, the drum beat was much louder, and the wire of the wings was adjusted into a semicircular arc, and the wheel was changed several times, and finally made up a pair of small sizes. Although the frequency of the wings is still slightly different this time, it is difficult to notice if you don't pay attention to it.
"How? It's not very exquisite, but the ancestors were able to make this thing hundreds of years ago, and at that time, there was no wire, this thing is every child's dream. "When Li Feng was a child, Li Shan would make a pair of duck drums and a pair of floats every year, and it was not until he was ten years old that Li Shan stopped.
"It's really unexpected, it turns out that this is the case, Li Feng, you are so happy, there are so many fun and delicious foods when you were a child, it is really enviable." Lin Ying leaned closer to Li Feng, Li Feng wanted to hand it to Manying, but unfortunately it was far away, so he had to give Lin Ying a try first, and spread his hands apologetically to Manying. "Hehe, we were still envious of you having TV to watch, I remember when I was in elementary school, there was only one TV in the village, and there were often power outages, I remember the first time I watched Journey to the West, but we were fascinated." The battery is dead, you know what we use to watch TV, use the battery, in order to watch an episode of Journey to the West. Li Feng sighed in his heart, which house can still not have a TV now, but when did he buy his own TV, Li Feng remembers it clearly, and he watched TV before the New Year. The parents pulled the cart to sell the family's big fat pig and bought a seventeen-inch peony black and white TV. Then the village is not envied by children.
"Don't be envious, Lin Ying, give me a try on the bird car." Liu Lan touched it and didn't push it twice, and saw the four little radishes on the side looking at her in unison, curious, expectant, pitiful, looking at herself with a pair of watery eyes, a little embarrassed, forget it.
"Mengmeng, don't look at it, let's play with you." Liu Lan was quite helpless and handed the bird drum in her hand to the nearest little Mengmeng.
"Baby, Sister Bell, Brother Sakisaki, let's go to line up to play, Meng Meng is the first." The little girl's hehe hugged the car, put it on the ground, pushed the drum sounded, the wings flew, the baby, the bell, and Sakisaki's eyes widened, waiting for themselves to push what the scene was. Li Feng shook his head with a smile, the first time he saw this thing, it was not much better than these little babies. But now that I see my son and daughter playing on the side, my mood is different.
"Li Feng, I saw that the car was not dyed, does it need to be dyed, it's okay now, we'll help you brush the dye, I want to see how beautiful the color is." This car is different from the small floats, mainly the bird head, the bird body, as well as the flower hub, the bird wing drawing, compared to the float is a little more complicated. Li Feng can only draw bird language and eyes by analogy, but this person doesn't have much talent for painting, and the bird's eyes should be smaller, but this person draws panda eyes.
"Laugh if you want, I know I'm good at drawing." Li Feng saw a few people holding back a smile, shaking his hands and lit the feathers on the bird's body, and said a little weakly, causing several people to laugh.
