Chapter 10 Bǎn Bath Culture
"Li Bingbing!"
"Li Bingbing, are you not at home? Xiahe bǎn bath! ”
Tang Mingyao stood on the ridge and shouted loudly at Li Bingbing's house.
He usually doesn't go directly to their house, because the family has a super fierce dog, and he even bites the two brothers when he goes crazy, and the last time he came, he was lucky enough to meet the dog who was not at home.
"Here, come down, chicken. The dog was leashed up by me. ”
When Tang Mingyao heard this, he brought his younger brother to their house, and saw that the two brothers were holding a large bowl and eating noodles with a sigh.
That bowl of noodles is less than three or two, all of them are half-sized, and they are super edible.
Li Bingbing held the noodles in his mouth and said vaguely: "You wait for us for a while, and then go after eating." ”
Tang Mingyao: "Okay. ”
It's boring to sit on the threshold of their house.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, do any of your relatives from other places have written to your family?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Give me the old envelope."
Li Bingbing glanced at him suspiciously: "What do you want to do with the old envelope?" It's all my mother's stuff, you can't give it away, or you'll beat us up when you come back. ”
Tang Mingyao: "A dime a dome, do you want to sell it?" ”
"Sell!"
The answer was very crisp and without hesitation.
Li Bingbing didn't eat his noodles anymore, dropped the bowl and ran to the back room to rummage through the cabinets, and after a while came out with seven or eight envelopes, and said, "That's all." ”
Tang Mingyao took it and looked at it, and there were only five stamps that he didn't have, so he took out the stationery inside, returned it to the other party along with the envelope with the duplicate stamps, and said, "I want these five, and I'll give you five dimes." ”
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
Two clearing.
Li Bingbing was a little unwilling: "Don't want these few?" And the letter inside, you can buy it too, my uncle wrote it to my mother, it's very interesting. ”
Tang Mingyao rolled his eyes.
The ghost is interested in reading your uncle's letter to your mother.
After waiting for a while, the two brothers Li Bingbing finished eating noodles and pulled out a big buffalo from the back of the house. Several people went down to the river together, threw the ox nose rope into the grass and left it alone. Then they were still more than ten meters away from the river, and they screamed in the wind and took off their clothes, and when they reached the water's edge, they were already naked, and then jumped and poof! Splashing the sky.
Tang Mingyao looked at this group of wild boys who were open, shook his head, slowly took off his clothes, and went into the water in briefs.
The river was no match for a swimming pool, with a thick layer of mud and sand at the bottom, and soon the water in the vicinity was muddy, as if a buffalo were rolling through it.
However, including Tang Mingyao, no one had any opinions on this, but they danced more happily one by one.
bǎn bath, in fact, has a cultural heritage.
It is not the same as swimming.
Swimming is the technique of swimming in the water, what butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle...... All fall under the category of swimming.
And the bǎn bath is to jump into the water and splash blindly, how to get high.
water fights; than holding your breath; than diving to touch the shell; Standing on a stone with a bare ass is farther than who pees; Use the dog planer style to see who swims to the opposite shore first; Even stealing peanuts in the sand on the other side of the river and eating them while playing in the water is also part of the bǎn bath culture.
In one afternoon, several people played many tricks in the water, and they were all very happy.
It wasn't until it was dark that he reluctantly climbed ashore.
Li Bingbing said unsatisfactorily: "It's a pity that Zhang Juan and Zhang Liying are not here, otherwise it will be more interesting to play together." ”
Zhang Juan and Zhang Liying are also children on this mountain, about the same age as them, but they are all girls.
Tang Mingyao felt that Li Bingbing's words were a bit shameless, those two were eleven or twelve-year-old girls, and you still expected people to strip naked and go down to the river with you to take a bath?
It's okay for girls to have shame!
He clearly remembered that when everyone was only six or seven years old, they went down to the river together, and several little boys chased after the little girl's buttocks and looked at them, so that they couldn't bear to look at them.
Now that the little girl has grown up, she naturally understands that she was stupid and suffered a loss, and she said that she would never come to the river to play with them again.
Here, Tang Mingyao wants to solemnly reiterate that he is pure and has never seen a little girl's bare ass.
Who's seen who's a puppy!
With an awe-inspiring sense of righteousness, the two brothers returned home before it was all dark.
Today is August 16th, and the exam results have not yet come out.
Tang Mingyao was not in a hurry, and after dinner, he began to pick up the lamp and read.
"Three Hundred Tang Poems" has been read for more than half of the time, and the five-word ancient poems, five-word music, seven-word ancient poems, seven-word music, and five-word poems have all been read and recited, and only the seven-word poems have not been read.
Tang Mingyao first browsed the whole book from the beginning, only reading the text of the poems, as a review.
When I saw Du Fu's "Mourning River Head" and "Mourning for the King and Sun", I couldn't help but be infected by the poet's upheaval and displacement, and suddenly had the urge to write in my mind.
He wants to write an article about Du Fu's life situation!
As soon as he said it, he immediately found a homework book and wrote:
[In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu, the official N generation, was born in a small county town in Xiangyang, Hubei, and since then he has started his legendary life......]
Tang Mingyao first wrote about Du Fu's family background and experience when he was young, with no more content and no less, and wrote hundreds of words.
When he wrote that Du Fu had failed to participate in the scientific expedition, Tang Mingyao found out that something was wrong.
What he wrote was not an article, but a retelling of Du Fu's life, recording a running account, and not writing the feeling he wanted at all.
So he put down his pen and thought about what the problem was, and soon found the root cause - this thing, there is no theme!
Why did you want to write this article?
It was because the feelings in Du Fu's poems moved him, and he wanted to express the poet's feelings for his family and country through his articles.
Therefore, he must first clarify the "central idea" of the article, and then sift through Du Fu's life experience around this center, write in detail about the theme, and mention the irrelevant ones.
Then, at each node, the topic should be pointed, and the relationship between Du Fu's life experience and the central idea should be written.
Straightening out his thinking, Tang Mingyao suddenly became enlightened.
He tore up the article that had already written a few hundred words and started over.
This time, it was much smoother to write, and I gradually got some feelings.
At the same time, Tang Mingyao turned out his own vocabulary book, and consciously used the new words and words he learned during this period into the article to achieve the purpose of practicing writing.
Until ten o'clock in the evening, the article was still not finished, Tang Mingyao yawned and decided to continue writing tomorrow.
He has already thought about it, this kind of in-depth article, he is still very difficult to write, it takes a few days to write the first draft, and then slowly polish it, it doesn't matter if it takes a few months or even a year and a half.
Anyway, this is just a work of pen practice, and he doesn't want to make money with it, and he is not in a hurry to write to his satisfaction right away.
…………
Time flies by between reading, writing, and playing, and in the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
August 23rd.
Tang Mingyao's admission notice has still not come down.
At this time, he began to feel a little apprehensive.
Could it be that he did too well in the exam, and Lao Guo went back to school to say something bad about the marking team, and then the school directly deposed him on the grounds of "cheating"?
