Two or three days later, Mrs. Zhou brought her daughter to visit. The two mothers talked and laughed and went to the room to chat, and Zhou Yinlan followed Shuning to her room to play.

As soon as she entered the door, before she could sit down, Zhou Yinlan complained: "I heard that you had a great time two days ago, and you have never seen a new way of playing, why did you forget me?" Don't let people call me? Shuning confessed: "Good sister, this is my no, at that time, I was playing together, all the children of the neighborhood, and many of them were boys, I think my sister's family is very strict, I don't know if I want to let you out to play, I just didn't tell you, save you from knowing and can't get out, isn't it uncomfortable?" God knows that she didn't think of Zhou Yinlan at all that day, this young lady who looks like a beautiful girl, how do you think it doesn't match the sandbag and the iron ring, but at this time, in order to appease her, it is still necessary to tell a small lie.

Miss Zhou believed it, she also heard the general content of the game, and understood that her mother would definitely not let her touch such a "wild" thing, not to mention running crazy on the street with a lot of boys. But she won't let Shuning go so easily: "I don't know where you learned these games, you can quickly think of a few that we can play." A few of them also came yesterday, talking about how boring they were at home on weekdays, and they couldn't go to the streets every day. They are referring to the ladies of several official families who come and go more on weekdays, and the oldest is only eleven or twelve years old.

Shuning had a headache, and it was not easy to find a game that these ladies and daughters could play, and that they would not lose their identity too much, and that they would be interesting. She pondered for a long time before she came up with a sentence: "Isn't there a kick on weekdays?" That's kind of fun. ”

"Hugh has to deal with it!" Zhou Yinlan was very serious, "The kind of game that has already been played doesn't count, you have to come up with a game that we haven't seen before!" ”

Oh my God, where was the quiet and elegant little girl when I first met? When did Zhou Yinlan become a savage girl? Is the charm of the word "play" so great?

Shuning thought back to the girls' games she had played in her previous life, and jumping rubber bands was the most impressive one, but now there is no eraser. Zhou Yinlan urged her so tightly that she had no choice but to talk about this kind of game, and she also admitted that there was a lack of materials in it, and she was afraid that it would be impossible to make it. I saw Miss Zhou's eyes roll and clapped her hands: "There is!" According to what you said, this kind of rubber band is a very tough and elongated thing, why don't we just find beef tendon instead? ”

Why didn't she think of it?!!! Seems to be a feasible solution? immediately recruited Chunxing, she always goes to the street to buy vegetables, and she must know where to get beef tendon. Although Chunxing didn't know what they wanted this thing for, she still told them the address of the beef dealer. Zhou Yinlan immediately called a subordinate who came with her to get it, and told her to wash it before sending it over. It's always bad to let the ladies see something bloody.

But even if you get it, it's impossible to make the whole rubber band today. Zhou Yinlan carefully asked about the appearance and practice of the whole rubber band, as well as the things to be prepared and the rules of play, and borrowed a pen and paper to make notes, and made an appointment with Shuning to invite all the ladies to play together in two days.

Shuning followed the Tong family to send away the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, looking at the two big boxes in Mrs. Zhou's maid ring's hand, and knew that they were the cornmeal snacks that Chunxing had recently researched. She sighed, it seems that the old lady and herself are in sympathy.

The day of the party is fast approaching. Shuning made an appointment to the Zhou family's mansion, looking at the newly made leather band, the whole person was speechless. This is still the impression of the black lacquer black rubber strips of different lengths of rubber bands, the thin cowhide bands three twisted into a strand, the joint place is also decorated with colorful feathers and various colors of silk rope ribbons, looks colorful, beautiful. Just this way, don't you feel that those decorations are in the way when you jump?

Zhou Yinlan greeted her, took her hand and walked in happily: "The thing was only made yesterday, and I couldn't even find the beef tendon in the beef shop, saying that I asked the city guard to take it, and I don't know what they did with this." In the end, I met a southern merchandiser in the grocery store and bought it from him. I've got some feathers and ribbons on my head, don't you look good? This is unique in Fengtian City, and it is not easy for others to find so many cowhide bands now, and they are all envious to death. ”

It seems that Miss Zhou is a lady who is annoyed on weekdays, but once she has a fun thing, she reveals her true nature.

Shuning greeted the other girls, and everyone chattered non-stop, and when they were all there, they started to play. But at first everyone stood still, not knowing what to do with this new thing. Shuning stood up, she was the only one who had played, so she had to demonstrate first. Of course, the arduous task of making a pile can't bother the daughters, and in the end, I found two maids of the Zhou family to do it for me, anyway, they also peeked outside the door with interest, so it was better to call in and look at it openly.

Starting from the height of her ankles, Shuning danced "Ma Lanhua" and danced another "piercing heart". The four sentences of "Dorami Fa Woo La" that she danced in the past were made up according to the lyrics of "Dolai Mi Fa Sigh La", and now she can't explain the meaning of those words, she has already thought of four words to replace them, and she also danced them again. After jumping, she changed her height, and just after jumping her waist, she stood firmly, and she was pulled aside by a girl, and someone couldn't wait to try to jump.

Since foot wrapping is not popular in Mukden, no one can't jump, although jumping the wrong foot is a common thing, forgetting the word is not new, as for saying that the foot is not high and the hook does not hit the rubber band, it is nothing. However, the girls were more and more interested, and when Mrs. Zhou prepared the tea and asked someone to invite them to eat, they were still reluctant.

"That's good." Shuning thought, "On weekdays, you have to behave in a proper manner, how can you look like a little girl?" It's all elementary school-age girls, so it's a little childlike.

At the time of tea, everyone was cheerfully talking about the game they had just played, others were talking about what else could be played in the boudoir, some showed off the beautiful colored feathered heels brought from home, and some people threw handkerchiefs in knots. There were no adults among the people present, they were all little girls of the same age, and they knew each other on weekdays, and they had just had a lot of fun, so the excitement had not passed, so everyone was not as disciplined as usual.

A little girl named Amena said: "When I used to be on the grassland, I used to hunt with my friends on horseback, and that was fun." Now that I live in the city, although I live a comfortable life, I have fewer opportunities to play. It's been boring for a long time, but now I'm happier. ”

Another named Riqi also said: "Yes, yes, since I entered the city to live with my father, I haven't played like today, and if I make a little trouble, my grandmother will say that I am not in a proper manner." When I used to live with my grandmother, I could do whatever I wanted, and no one ever took care of me. ”

Among the rest of the people, Wang Meixian and Cai Tongyao are both Han doctors, and their tutors have always been very strict, and they also said: "You can also ride horses, which is very good, we have to practice female red and read female training since we were young, except for the nine rings, we have never played anything else." ”

"Sister Shuning and I also have to practice women's popularity and read women's training, but the family is quite loose, and sometimes we can still have fun." Zhou Yinlan Road.

Several people were envious. There is also a person named Zhang Yanyan who said: "In my family, my mother passed away a long time ago, and my father doesn't care about me. Everyone nodded, looking at her sympathetic.

"Actually," Shuning said, "there's still a lot to play." For example, kicking and swinging, you should have played it, right? ”

"There are some kicks, but my mother won't let me play on the swing, saying that I am afraid of falling."

"Yes, yes, my mother also said that the skirt would be lifted when playing, it was too unorthodox, so I wasn't even allowed to play with my feet. I can only play when I'm a guest in your house. Cai Tongyao blushed and said.

Shuning thought about the swing style in modern times, and put forward some suggestions for improvement: "The current swing is only one plank, which is indeed too dangerous, whether you stand or sit, it is easy to fall, it is better to make it into a chair style, sit on it, it is much more stable, and as long as the skirt is pressed, the skirt will not be lifted." When you swing, you don't have to push someone, and you don't have to exert your own strength. ”

Several girls were overjoyed when they heard this, and they said, "Yes, why didn't we think of it?" Cai Tongyao whispered: "But I don't even have a swing at home, and the old one was cut down by my mother, so what should I do?" ”

Shuning tilted her head and thought for a while: "I'll see, what else can I play without these things?" Not...... Ah, there you have, don't you have a handkerchief? You can fold things with a handkerchief. After that, he took out his little handkerchief and folded a little mouse out three or two times: "Look, this is a little mouse, but I don't know much tricks, if you take paper to fold, you can fold a lot of things, Lord Lingtang will not even ask people to throw away handkerchiefs and paper, right?" ”

Cai Tongyao thanked her happily and said that she would try to fold it when she got home.

Wang Meixian said: "I also love to play on the swing, there is one at home, I like to swing high, you can see the garden of the house next door, the flowers in their home are very good, but unfortunately my mother and their housewife are not in harmony, we are never allowed to interact with them, I want to see the garden, can only look at the swing." ”

Shuning smiled: "This reminds me of the allusion of the swing." Since ancient times, the young lady of a large family loves to play with swings, and there is a reason. Because I can't go out on weekdays, I can't see the situation outside, so I have to swing high when playing on the swing to see the pedestrian scenery outside the wall. I heard that there is also a story of a rich daughter stepping on a swing and seeing a scholar passing by outside, so she fell in love at first sight and finally became a family. The situation of the Wang family's sister is a bit similar. ”

Wang Meixian pounced on her and beat her: "Look at me tearing your mouth!" Shuning hurriedly begged for mercy, but Zhang Yanyan came up again to help Wang Meixian tickle her, and everyone laughed and played for a while before she sat up right and spoke again. Zhou Yinlan asked someone to replace the leftover tea fruit.

Amena said: "These games are very new and interesting, I wonder what Sister Shu thinks? ”

Wang Meixian agreed: "Yes, it's much more interesting than the Nine Rings." I dismantle nine links on weekdays, I can't dismantle it back and forth, and I am always scolded by my brothers for being stupid. ”

Zhou Yinlan warmly invited: "Come and play more in the future, let's make games together." Everyone nodded vigorously.

Cai Tongyao whispered: "It's just that most of these games are interesting to play with several people, and it's too boring to play alone." We only get together once or twice a month at most, so what do we do on weekdays? ”

Everyone was poured cold water on their heads. Shuning racked her brains and thought about it, and suddenly had an idea.
