Chapter 398: Lost Childhood
Looking at these gadgets along the way, Wang Buping remembered his childhood.
Before I went to school, I was herding cattle at home, and I could only play with my friends. At that time, I had never even seen any of these things.
A few people put the cow on the hill and then went into the grass to catch bugs and play. Or, catch fish in a stream in the mountains.
At that time, the most haode toy was a slingshot made by my grandfather. Take that thing and hunt birds in the mountains.
When you're lucky, you can hit a rabbit.
Before I went to school, I went down to the river to catch fish and went up to the mountain to catch rabbits. Or just take a group of friends to the mountains to poke the hornet's nest.
Sometimes, because I have fun, I lose track of time. When I come back, I can't wait to have a meal of "fried shredded pork with belt".
When I went to school, because I was in town, I started to get in touch with some other things. For example, a pickup truck, folded in half with two pieces of paper and folded into a square.
Marbles, at that time, were called yo-yo, and this Wang Buping was the most played. Make a small hole in the ground and see who can pop in.
Flowers, box guns, foxes, etc., folded with paper, these are now Wang Buping's inadequate.
Wang Buping was still at his classmate's house, and he had seen the Xiaobawang learning machine, which was also an "artifact" at that time. A group of friends, around a black-and-white TV, the people next to them, are all yelling.
I remember one time, Wang Buping used the money to buy homework books and bought a bunch of cards. Later, when his father found out, he was also beaten.
Kicking shuttlecocks and jumping rubber bands have disappeared from children's toys today.
Took a few steps forward. Wang Buping actually saw that kind of plastic villain. He used to collect this thing, and then it seems that it was collected by the teacher.
Looking at the same familiar things, they are full of childhood fun.
I remember that at that time, the teacher asked them to write an essay on what career they would be when they grew up. Eighty out of a million of them are scientists, and it's funny to think about it now.
Looking at a few city children, eating sugar gourds and holding marshmallows in their hands. These things are still there now. But it's rare.
In fact. Wang Buping felt that the children at that time were the real happiness. Now, the child's mind. More precocious than adults. There is something. Adults don't necessarily understand. But the child does.
is also haode, the children of Wangjiazhai are still innocent. They had never seen the luxury of a big city. I've never seen a colorful shijie.
Although, when you grow up, you will always experience these. However, there is always a happy and beautiful childhood. It's always happier than those children who are pressed by various cram schools.
……
Looking at the people walking in here, the people in the city, are curious about these. Some people may not have been exposed to these at all, and their childhood is different from that of many people.
However, most of the faces show nostalgia. Wang Buping also saw two people, possibly a couple, who were looking at a pair of animal faces.
This thing was also played with when I was a child. Chase and play with this mask. Of course, naughty boys, who may carry this, scare people at night.
Of course, the most attractive thing is these snacks. This thing is something that has been perfectly preserved, and that city, there is a corner of the city, dedicated to this business. However, the taste is not so pure.
It can't be helped, it's due to various reasons. The taste has changed, and it can't be changed.
The crowds make it a lot more lively. The shouts of the hawkers and the laughter of the tourists form the most beautiful melody.
Wang Buping found out that most of the old people set up stalls. Also, they were the ones who sold these things back then, and now they hear that there are a lot of people here, so they go back to the old business.
Of course, because of the large number of people, it is more chaotic here. So, here is the most patrolled. The river beach is more dangerous than other places, and it is also a key place to defend. If one is not good, there will be drowning.
What makes Wang Buping amusable is that there are people in this who are bargaining. I really didn't expect it to happen here. Of course, most of these are girls, and boys generally pay to leave.
Actually, they don't really want to bargain, they just want to experience the fun. Wang Buping looked at those gadgets inside, but he was so big that he was embarrassed to really buy them and play with them.
If that's the case, I won't be laughed to death by those guys at home.
After turning around inside, when Wang Buping was about to reach the end, he saw this little girl, who was squatting there looking at something.
Wang Buping walked over and found that it was a toy animal. These are toys that can be moved after getting energized. This seems to be a toy that only appeared when I was in junior high school.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing someone calling him, Didiu raised his head, and when he saw that it was his brother, he said, "Brother, brother, you buy this for Didiu." ”
"You little girl, what do those animals earn you for?" Wang Buping remembers that this little girl now earns more than others cooking for tourists.
The little girl, her eyes rolled, she thought for a while, and said, "The money that was lost was reserved for those poor children." My aunt said that it can't be spent. ”
This little girl, Wang Buping was speechless. Also squatting at the stall and looking at the things on it.
Inside, there are also little frogs and cars, Wang Buping has seen them before. The others are toys made by the current process.
This kind of frog, Wang Buping remembers, can jump forward after getting stronger. It's the same with a car, you can run.
The seller was an old man, who looked at his face, and was at least seventy years old. Looking at this situation, this person should have been the kind of person who used to jump on a flat shoulder and walk the streets and alleys.
"Didi, see for yourself what you like, my brother will buy it for you. However, after that, you are only allowed to choose two, and you are not allowed to take more! ”
Wang Buping knew that if he didn't say it, this little girl would guarantee that she would be able to take as much as she could.
"The young man is Wang Buping, right?"
"Yes, uncle, how do you know me?"
The uncle smiled and looked at the doll in his hand, a drawing board.
said with a smile: "This little girl, these stall holders, you know them all." She called you brother, aren't you Wang Buping? ”
It turns out that this is the case, Wang Buping said, how can this person know himself. Seriously, if tourists knew him, Wang Buping would not feel strange, but these hawkers knew him, and Wang Buping felt strange.
Because, tourists come from outside, generally as long as they go to the website of Wangjiazhai, they will know him. However, these hawkers are all from the mountains here. After Wang Buping came back, he rarely went out. So, not many people know him.
"Uncle, how is the business here?"
Hearing Wang Buping ask this, the uncle smiled even more happily and said, "Okay, I have sold hundreds of things this morning." I really didn't expect it, just to join in the fun, I didn't expect such a booming business. ”
……
Wang Buping talked to the uncle for a while, watched someone buy something, and then walked away. He asked these questions mainly to see if he could hold such a market in Wangjiazhai.
In any case, there are many tourists in Wangjiazhai. If you really make a special market like this, those tourists can buy some mountain specialties here.
Wang Buping also found a situation because of tourists. Some villagers in Wangjiazhai simply don't have time to go up the mountain to pick some things.
If you gather these people here, they can provide these things. Not to mention those small toys, even some food, can attract a lot of tourists.
However, now is not the time, Wang Buping has to wait for these days to pass. Let's see if there's a place here for these people.
After walking out of the river beach, Wang Buping walked towards the village. Because it was almost noon, many people were now walking towards the village. Because if it's slow, it'll be like yesterday, and you won't be able to eat.
However, when some people look at some tourists, swaying and walking, they feel strange in their hearts. Thinking, why aren't these people in a hurry?
When I asked, I learned that there was a new open-air restaurant on the square. Yes, these people just eat in the square and use it as an open-air restaurant.
Still, it really feels that way. Because the weather is not so hot, the breeze blows, eating and looking at the scenery in the distance is also a kind of enjoyment.
If you want to go to the square to eat now, it may be a little late. All the tables there have been booked. Many people who went to the back didn't get a reservation at all.
It is also haode that these people can go to the villagers' homes to eat. Of course, above the reservoir, it is also very lively at noon, where the main thing is grilled fish.
Of course, there are other things. It was all sent by Wang Buping, so that these people could eat on the mountain.
The situation in the mountains is similar to yesterday. However, the food today was sent in by Wang Buping. The pheasants and hares in there can't be caught like this. Wang Buping had a hard time putting a lot of them in it.
That's it, there are still a lot of tourists, and they eat a lot of food in the village. These people are smarter than yesterday, and some of them are directly on the square, looking for someone to share a table.
Others wait for others to eat before going to eat. This is especially evident in the horse farms and reservoirs, where some people see that there is no one to ride with them at this time.
Here in the reservoir, the boat is also empty. These people directly rented a boat to watch the birds inside, and came back for dinner later.
When noon passed, Wang Buping could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This is a thing of the past, because tomorrow is not Sunday, and there should be fewer tourists.
No, some tourists, after eating, began to prepare to go back.
Unexpectedly, it was almost time for tourists to go back, and something still happened. Among the tourists, there were people who had their things stolen. When Wang Buping came to the uncle, he found that there was more than one person who had been stolen.
He knew that the problem was serious. It seems that among the tourists, there should be a group of thieves mixed in. These guys really know how to choose time. At this time, it is the time when tourists leave, and it is not easy to check. (To be continued......)
