Chapter 61: Crooked
In winter, everything is silent, rest and recuperate. Lan Yi is also very happy in her own little family, or very happy at home, but Yu'er and the baby are more eager to go out to play, after all, no matter how quiet a child is, he also needs to communicate with his friends.
Daifuku and Niu Dan came to Lan Yi's house to play, and a few children nested in the greenhouse where they grew vegetables to see the rarity, and it was worth showing off to them that they could see so much green in winter and breathe warm and humid air. However, after a few times, it was no longer interesting, and Lan Yi was afraid that the temperature difference between entering and exiting the greenhouse would be too large and cause a cold, so she did not encourage them to go to the greenhouse to play.
What you can play outdoors is to shoot birds with a slingshot and ride a bamboo horse, which is tired of playing. Lan Yi began to think about small games that could be played by children together, which should be fun and simple at the same time.
When it comes to sports, Lan Yi can be said to be a spectator. She rarely participates in other sports except boxing, running, and walking, but this does not prevent her from being a spectator of competitive sports, ball games and racing sports are what she likes to watch, after all, these sports events are much more interesting than boring eight-o'clock TV series, so she can still understand the rules of general sports events. Considering the fun, danger and realistic conditions, Lan Yi screened these sports and selected two dog-playing holes and Keju.
She didn't consider letting the baby participate in these games, now the baby is less than two weeks old, wearing a little radish leg in cotton pants, looking like a Russian doll, Lan Yi takes him with him every day to teach him to talk and play, teach him to think about problems, or take him to play with the big girl of the Chen family, the two children are generally old, and have a common language.
Lan Yi played the game of playing dog holes when she was a child, and took Yu'er, Daifuku and Niu Dan to dig three big golf holes in the yard of the house, and made a small grass ball with a straw rope, found a small wooden stick of the right size, and each person chose a hole to guard, and played with the stick. The rule is to win if you don't let someone else hit the ball into your own hole and at the same time hit the ball into someone else's hole. It's a simple game, but it's fun, and the space required is small, making it a great place for today's kids to play.
The three children played in the yard for a while, shouting and having fun, and the baby naturally wanted to participate when he saw it, but he only had to make a mess, so Lan Yi asked Yu'er to take the ball and the stick to the wheat field to play. A few days later, the children in the village started to play dog holes, and later the men in the village also started to play dog holes.
After the influence of modern football culture, Lan Yi knew that there was a game of Keju in the Tang and Song dynasties in China, but after all, she came from a different time and space, or she was also in a corner, and Keju has not yet been spread.
When the children began to feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the game of playing dog holes, Lan Yi's zuò Keju came in handy. This juju is made according to the method of making zuò juju in the Tang Dynasty recorded in history.
First of all, Zhou Lao, who sold pork in the village, bought four pig bladders commonly known as urine bubbles, and she also saw pig bladders for the first time, the meat was the size of a fist, and it smelled terrible. After buying it back, Lan Yi Ninja was disgusted and washed the pig's bladder to remove the smell, and then connected it to the tube and blew it up, turning it into a balloon that was not round.
The second step is to make the skin of the zuò juju. The white oil cloth left over from the production of zuò greenhouse, Lan Yi used it to cut and make zuò into some essential items at home, such as gloves, aprons, sleeves used in work, etc., which are very strong and easy to use, and now they have new uses. Lan Yi cut the oilcloth and sewed it into a round Keju skin according to the size of the pig's bladder, and then tied the pig's bladder into it after inflating it, and then sewed the skin, and the simple version of the Keju was completed. In addition to the inflatable Keju, Lan Yi also made two zuò full of chicken feathers, although the elasticity is not as good as that of inflation, but it is more durable.
"It's ugly, but it's also an inflatable football!" Lan Yi looked at the messy soccer balls sewn, Yu'er had never seen a beautiful soccer ball, so naturally she couldn't compare them with beauty and ugliness, but she was very interested in this new toy.
Lan Yi gave them a chicken feather first, it seemed to be instinctive, and four or five children began to scramble to kick on the ground when they saw Keju on the ground, which was very lively.
Lan Yi is a pseudo-fan, who only follows everyone to watch the ball during the World Cup, and only knows the basic rules. She simplified the rules and taught them to Yu'er. The children were divided into two equal teams, one in goal, and the others ran and kicked the ball on the field. The rules of kicking are not complicated, only two: except for the goalkeeper, others are not allowed to touch the ball with their arms and hands, and they are not allowed to kick people; The ball is kicked into the opponent's goal and one point is awarded, and the team with the most points wins.
The goal is also simple, there is only one wooden frame, it is Dafu and Yu'er found Dafu's father Wang Linxi to do it for them, according to the height of the child, straighten the beam on the goal that the arm is just out of reach, and the goal is fixed on the wheat field of the second uncle's house, and several little guys are in full swing. The baby is a few small Lan Yi also gave them a small number of footballs, let him and a few big girls play football at home or play eagles to catch chickens, Zhao Lizheng's grandson Zhao Xiaopang is the same age as the baby, and now he has become a frequent visitor to Lan Yi's house, a few children are running to play football or playing, Lan Yi chats with a few young daughters-in-law and does needlework, which can be regarded as having fun.
Lan Yi's house is still separated by a few families from the wheat field, and the farmer's yard is large, so the neighbors' voices can't be heard clearly on weekdays. In the past few days, when adults and children are playing dog holes, shouting and laughing can be heard.
"Sister-in-law, how did you come up with this juju and dog hole? Now not only my family Daifuku runs to play every day, but even Daifuku's father also runs and kicks. Chen sat on the hot kang head of Lan Yi's house in thick linen clothes, listened to the shouts and laughter from time to time, and asked the little sister-in-law in the cotton bag in front of him curiously.
Lan Yi was afraid of the cold, she was dressed a lot thicker than them, she looked round, she smiled and said to Chen: "Where do I have this brain, these are all written in books, I just tried to get it after reading it, I didn't expect the children to like it." ”
Liu smacked his lips with pumpkin seeds, "Sister-in-law, it's not just a little baby who likes it, even my family Lin Yuan loves it very much, when he doesn't enter the city, he runs to play with his second brother, and when he comes back, he is sweating." I've also followed to see it, a group of men on this cold day are running around with a small ball kicking a small ball like a fight, sister-in-law, why don't you get more than two, so many people are old fights when they grab one! ”
Lan Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes, why does this sentence sound so familiar, it seems that many people have lamented this problem in modern times, how much fun they have had one ball at a time.
"You don't know this, you can't listen to my family say that such a ball is fun!" Zhao Xiaopang's mother, that is, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhao Lizheng's family, Wu Shi, dug Liu lightly, with a knowledgeable expression.
"You know! I've been there twice and I haven't seen you to see it! Liu Shi picked Danfeng's eyes unconvinced, and looked at his sister-in-law with some grievances, "Sister-in-law, you get two more, let's also kick in the yard?" I'm tickling to watch them play with this foot. ”
Lan Yi was stunned, this women's football team is about to be formed? Chen and Wu hurriedly waved their hands: "You look for the eight mothers and two sisters-in-law to kick them, let's not go, let's see if it's still successful, what's the matter with sweating all over your body!" ”
"Cut! I know that you don't dare, if you say that this is fast, you have to say that it is us, when we were children, we climbed trees and ran all over the mountain, and no one could catch up. Liu didn't really want to kick the juju, and when he saw that they didn't dare to pick up the stubble, he continued to eat melon seeds with satisfaction.
"Brother and sister, my father-in-law praised you yesterday. Don't you know, since the men in the village started to play this keju and dog hole, there are no more people who play money and fight and make trouble, and the father-in-law doesn't have to go around the village to take care of things, so he has a lot of fun. Wu couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he thought of his father-in-law Zhao Weiyang praising Lan Yi, her father-in-law rarely praised a woman like this. I954
