Chapter Twenty-Six: Jumping Bands
The open space outside the classroom was full of children playing.
Boys were lying on the ground in groups and playing glass balls, and there were always a large number of squatting onlookers next to them.
There are also boys who are patting cards, and the hard cards with patterns are about the size of playing cards, with patterns on the front side and the other side without patterns on the reverse side. The rule is that a boy makes a card, and then "rock, paper, scissors" decides the order in which the cards are tapped. Whoever can turn the front card over into a back wins a card.
This game is very popular among boys, and the popularity is not below the bouncing of glass balls.
Boys usually have half glass balls and half colorful cards in their bulging pockets. What these two games have in common is that they both have to crouch on the ground to play.
At that time, there was no concrete floor, and when you played, it was usually dusty everywhere, so how could there be a few boys who could do it cleanly? At first glance, it's really a bunch of mud kids.
The second favorite toy for boys is the spinning top.
The small shop sells colorful and beautiful ones, and the boys who can't afford them find a piece of wood and cut one with a knife.
It's not complicated, it's just that the bottom of the sharpened tip is sharpened and the top is rounded, and a stronger rope is added. Use the rope to wrap a few circles on the ground and turn the top violently, and then use the rope to twitch vigorously in the direction of rotation, so that the top spins faster and more urgently, and can play so that the top will not stop for half a day.
Dabao is a master of playing with spinning tops, and the spinning tops he makes are not as beautiful as those sold in small shops except that they are not as beautiful as those sold in small shops, but they are not inferior at all.
Naturally, the most fun thing for girls is to jump rubber bands.
At that time, the jumping rubber band was a kind of round elastic band with good elasticity, which was often used to sew into the waistband of the pants when making children's pants, and it was very cheap to buy several feet for a dime, and everyone bought a long bundle to make a ball and put it at home. Many children cut a piece of a dead knot from a lump at home, and it becomes a rubber band that everyone loves to play with.
The biggest advantage of jumping rubber bands is that many people can play with fewer people, three people can play, two people stand opposite each other and use their legs to support the rubber band, and the other person can jump. If there are a lot of people, it doesn't matter, you can stretch the rubber band into an irregular quadrilateral, and then four people jump at the same time. It's very convenient when playing, just take out a small ball of rubber bands from your pocket and untie them, and quickly put them away when you are in class, wrap them into a small ball, and then put them in your pocket.
That girl doesn't like to jump rubber bands?
Zhou Xiaoyun is tall and has long legs, and has always been a master of jumping rubber bands, and at this time, he was very happy to see a bunch of people jumping rubber bands here and there, and he was also interested. Wang Jingjing found two other girls in her class to play with Zhou Xiaoyun.
One of the two girls is a little chubby, a fat girl, and a big name is Zhou Qianqian, who is still Zhou Xiaoyun's cousin who lives in a village, and the other is a little shorter and a little darker, called Sun Min, nicknamed Xiaobudian.
Zhou Xiaoyun has good grades and is the head of the class and is a celebrity in the eyes of the teacher, and secondly, she has a good temper and is willing to teach her classmates homework, and her popularity in the class is very good, and the girls are willing to play with her.
As soon as the fat girl and Xiao Budian heard that Zhou Xiaoyun and the two of them were jumping rubber bands, they were very happy to run over, and the two competed to be in a group with Zhou Xiaoyun. In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoyun who broke the siege and proposed to use black and white to decide.
The four girls gathered in a circle and counted "one, two, three" and palmed together, with two palms up and two with the palms up. As a result, the fat girl and Zhou Xiaoyun both came out of the palms, and Wang Jingjing and Xiao Budian both came out of the back of their hands. The fat girl stood aside with Zhou Xiaoyun a little triumphantly.
Which group jumps the rubber band first has to be decided by scissors, rock, and paper.
One person from each of the two groups, the fat girl and Wang Jingjing stomped their feet and shook their hands hard, the fat girl came out of the scissors, Wang Jingjing came out of the cloth, and the fat girl jumped up happily when she saw the win.
Wang Jingjing and Xiao Budian were holding the rubber band on their calves, and the fat girl and Zhou Xiaoyun jumped up together. I really don't know who invented the song-like mantra that I read while dancing, and the fat girl usually can't even memorize a few sentences of text, but she memorizes the long mantra from beginning to end without even a pause, which has to be admired.
If you don't jump wrong, you can raise the position of the band, otherwise you can change the opponent to jump the band, and whichever side jumps the band to the waist first wins.
After a while, the chubby chick jumped wrong.
The fat girl was a little embarrassed and afraid that Zhou Xiaoyun would complain about herself, of course Zhou Xiaoyun would not do such a thing, and comforted the fat girl with a word, and then put on the rubber band to change the small point and Wang Jingjing to jump.
After playing for a long time, I heard the class bell ringing "bell, bell, bell", which is the bell of class. The children who were having fun reluctantly dispersed, packed up their things, and rushed to the classroom.
Wang Jingjing quickly wound her rubber band, the speed of the technique was staggering, but in a few seconds, the long rubber band turned into a small ball. She whispered to Zhou Xiaoyun: "Come back and dance later, you have to hear it with me then." ”
Zhou Xiaoyun agreed with a smile and entered the classroom with Wang Jingjing.
