Chapter 6 Games
When Li Zhendong was a teenager in his previous life, he never cared about social current affairs news. Why do you want a teenager to care about that? At that time, all I could think of was reading and games. Now although it is from the afterlife. Li Zhendong really thinks that he came back from a 'swim'. What I remember in my mind is only the general trend. It's all about when it happened. It can be accurate to the year, and further, you can think so-so about the month. Specific to the day? That's still it. Of course, Li Zhendong can also accurately remember things clearly, and they spanned decades or even a hundred years ago. Because he used to spend a lot of time researching it. And it's still fluttering in it. Even Li Zhendong's mother later complained, saying that if there were no two things that delayed Li Zhendong, Li Zhendong would definitely be able to be admitted to China's top universities. It's just a little bit off! Li Zhendong can only play with his parents with a hippie smile every time.
When walking up the hillside, Li Zhendong took two bites of small bread. Frowning, it's not as delicious as expected. Sure enough, it's time and distance that produce beauty. Hand it to the younger brother. The younger brother looked at the elder brother with wide eyes, and of course he immediately took it and killed it.
Passing through rows of staff buildings. The younger brother's mind was scattered. Because it is a hillside, one building is taller than the other. In the middle of each building there is a flat lot. Part of it is cement and part of it. It's still early for dinner. Adults haven't gotten off work yet. Besides, adults still have time to cook after work. Many times children play without a sense of time. I had to open my voice and shout before I was reluctant to leave. Some even ask adults to come angrily and cry out in pain before they are willing to return.
Li Zhendong also saw it. There are many small children playing with glass beads. Running around on the dirt, screaming loudly, some parts of his body dirty. Pouting. I forgot that I was also a master of this way in my previous life, otherwise where did the glass beads in the drawer of my house come from? It's decades of life experience now, and I don't have a child's mentality.
There were really a lot of games in those days. Bouncing glass beads is a very popular game. At that time, there was a real lack of necessary material conditions. The little ones have a pitiful number of toys. Children love to play, and it's the same in any era. The glass beads on the checkers are very beautiful, especially when placed in water, they are crystal clear. If someone shows off, there will naturally be a comparison. After coming and going, I began to play with glass beads. It's actually betting on glass beads. The rules are varied, and there are about a dozen small holes to be dug. Everyone starts from the starting line and plays all the way to the last hole to win. How to play? Place the glass bead in your palm and bend your thumb to flick it outward. When playing glass beads, you can bounce away the glass beads that others are close to, and do not let other people's glass beads get close to the hole. Hitting someone else's glass bead can take a step. In short, the ultimate goal is that your glass beads can go through all the holes. Win, hehe! All the glass beads that participated in this round were collected. I'll do it again in the next round. There is another way to play. When the glass beads are close, measure them with the palm of your hand. Just keep your thumb and ring finger as open as possible, and if you can touch two glass beads, you win. You can take away the other party's glass beads. Actually, this is purely a trick for some older children to bully younger children. There are naturally many more opportunities with large hands. Of course, Li Zhendong won't tell you that this is his invention. Killed will not admit it. There are also other ways to play, so you can discuss and play.
In fact, the slingshot has to be in front of the glass beads. Almost everyone in the older age has used it. The machine shop is deep in the mountains. There is no shortage of birds in the mountains. The adults of the family go to the shrubs in the mountains to choose the right branches. I also got the discarded rubber from the factory, or found some used rubber bands from the hospital. Make a slingshot and throw it to the little ones. Little children go around chasing birds with slingshots. Small stones are used. This is not very good. The machine shop has a large area where the product is tested. The iron core or steel core shot by the bullet is the best weapon to hit the bird. You have to dig this thing with tools. Pick it out of the dirt, wash it, and dry it in the sun before use. There are not too many birds in normal times, and there are sparrows, small orioles, mung bean turtles and so on. Turtle dove, the pheasant is too big to hit the slingshot. When it comes to migratory bird season, there are so many kinds of birds! Among them, hawksbill turtles are the most numerous. Especially on snowy days, a variety of birds gather on the trees that bear fruit on the mountain. Coming and going, so lively. People who shoot with slingshots accurately really gain a lot every day.
It's not just kids playing at this time. The young men who had reached adulthood did not have a job, and they also ran up the mountain in groups. Their usual pastime: fighting, brawling, also stopped for a while. Of course, sometimes it's normal for someone to be in the wrong eye. Children are encountered by these unemployed youths, and it is inevitable that they will be handed over. Sometimes even the better slingshots are taken away. Having been taught, the children saw that these people were running fast.
Take home the birds. can also be praised by the family. If you wrestle, tear your clothes or hurt yourself, you will get a scolding in exchange. Next time, you will not be allowed to go out. On a snowy day, the frozen place is too slippery. No one is immune to wrestling. There is the bold one who is not afraid of pain or injury, and sneaks out of the door while adults go to work. If you hurt again, congratulations. In the fury of the adults, you can enjoy the treatment of the small black house. Adults lock you in your home when they go out. So you can only lie on the window and stick to the railing to watch the friends outside play. There are friends who are missing something, and they deliberately put their hands in their trouser pockets in front of you and walk around. It's to let you see his freedom. You'll have to ask him to come and talk to you often. Later, later, when your parents come back, you will be honest. Don't dare next time. After a long time, you revert to your old ways.
As for protecting birds, what does that mean? Did anyone care about this in those days? Well, there really is. But those are the things that a few scientists care about. The vast majority of people don't have this concept in their heads. There are quite a few people with a high level of knowledge in the machine shop. Absolutely no one would think about the conservation of birds. People are concerned about food, clothing, housing, transportation, elders and children in the family. For small children, a bird means only a little, something delicious. Protecting birds has nothing to do with them. If you want to talk to them about protecting birds, it's not right to look at you. And then immediately stay away from you, because your parents have told you: If you see a madman, you should stay away!
There are also rolling hoops. It's the size of a bucket at home now. The origin seems to be the barrel hoop used in that era? The iron ring with a good iron ring is seamless, and it is welded when the family goes to work in the factory. Yes, it is simply made of thick iron wire, and there is a small twist at the interface. The children made a half-meter-long loop stick with a U-shaped tip out of wire. Playing with the iron ring on the concrete pavement, you can't fall to the ground. You can play with circles, you can compare speeds, you can play with ramming. What's more complicated is to find uneven places, and those with ditches are better. Catch the hoop on it. If you fall to the ground, you lose. What to lose is naturally decided by the children early in the morning.
There is a game of playing with paper pieces that has been popular for a while. Fold old workbooks, newspapers, etc. into pieces of paper. Put it on the ground and pat it with your hand, turn it over and win. Sometimes after a long time, the little hands are red. You can also stack many pieces of paper on top of each other, overlap them on your hand, and turn the pieces of paper over to the back of your hand while standing in the palm of your hand, when the sleeves are rolled up between your elbows. Then he quickly changed hands in the air, and pinched his fingers between the sleeves of his arms. Whoever has more wins. It's too paper-consuming to play this. Those who lose their eyes will tear up the new workbook and play with it with pieces of origami. The consequence was that he was found by his parents when he went home and was beaten violently.
There are more scary games as well. Bullets made of paper folded into small hard paper. I found a rubber band to tie my hair, and put the bullet on the rubber band to ricochet at others. A class of boys playing together, each with their own circle. Or go and fight with people who are out of town. This kind of game is played to the last point, which is to play at other people's heads and faces. A blue nose and swollen face are indispensable. It is a game of killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 losses. Li Zhendong also participated, relying on the strength of his hands, and put a few rubber bands on his hands. This kind of game was banned by the school and parents after the first game. The consequences are more serious.
As for other games, jump rope. Unless the PE teacher arranges for male and female students to play together. Male classmates don't play in their spare time. Between classes, the little girls run to the playground and bounce. There are also little girls who play with rubber bands around their hands, and they can play a lot of tricks. Simple and complex. As for shuttlecock and so on, I can't finish talking about it for a while.
Walking halfway up the hill, the factory guest house of the machinery factory arrived, and the factory cadre building was side by side. Li Zhendong waved his hand and asked his younger brother to play with other children in front of the house. Li Zhenxi took out a few glass beads from his schoolbag, threw the schoolbag to his eldest brother, and slipped into the crowd at once.
