In the 80s, the countryside was economically backward and materially scarce, and although life was slightly better than before, life was still stretched.

Despite the hardships of life, children always find their pleasure; Jump rope with corn husk, jump rubber bands with elastic bands, find a few rag heads and sew them, stuff them with fine sand to make sandbags, jump lattices on the ground, and play with mud......

If there are no conditions, they create their own conditions, and these simple games bring too much joy to children; A group of children dressed in tatters, with yellow faces and thin faces, played happily in the streets and alleys, and the difficulties and hardships of life did not affect them at all.

Among them, blowing "balloons" has also become one of the games that children are very passionate about.

Hold the "balloon" to your mouth, puff out your cheeks and blow it hard, find a line to tie the blown balloon, drag the long line all the way to the wind, and the balloon can float into the air like a kite.

Before blowing, you have to rub it, otherwise the balloons stick together and you won't be able to blow it up; At the end, I have to mumble a few words in disgust, what do these balloon-makers think, why is there a layer of slimy and greasy oil in the balloon......

What the children were puzzled by was that when they jumped up and down, looking at the "balloons" floating in the air, and quacking happily, the elders would blush and shout loudly behind their butts.

"Little rabbit, take it down quickly, shame on you......"

It's just playing with balloons, if you don't steal or rob, who will you lose?

They don't understand.

Tang Xing was playing a game of blowing the ball at this time, but after all, his strength was too small, and after a fierce blow, his head felt a little dizzy, and after a short pause, the balloon that had just been puffed up immediately dried up; The angry Tang Xing stomped his feet and impatiently rubbed his greasy hands on his body.

"How can there be so much oil on the balloon? It's annoying......"

"Brother-in-law, how do you just know how to watch the excitement, you hurry up and help me blow up a balloon!"

The little guy held a "balloon" and stuffed it into Li Jianning's mouth.

Li Jianning's face turned red and waved his hand at Tang Xing in a panic.

Tang Yue held back a smile and quickly pulled Li Jianning to the courtyard; Tian Lanfang snatched the "balloon" from Tang Xing's hand, pretended to be angry, and slapped Tang Xing's ass lightly.

"Where is this stuff you can play with, this is your sister's ......"

"Mother, little dunzi, they all play this! Don't let me play, let my sister play, my mother is too partial, right? ”

Tang Xing pouted and looked unconvinced, jumping to grab it.

Children are really difficult, can't you explain the purpose of "balloons" to six-year-old Tang Yue, right?

Where is this balloon!

"Xingxing, come on, grandma baked you a sweet potato ripe!"

Fortunately, Yao Daju greeted and immediately diverted Tang Xing's attention; Tang Xing, who has always been greedy, responded crisply, pulled out his legs and ran to the stove house.

When the mother hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her nose, early in the morning, she got on the bar with the small umbrella......

Walking to the stove house, an old man and a young man were squatting on the stove and eating happily.

There is such an advantage of burning a large stove in the countryside, when the fire is burned, the sweet potatoes can be sold in the ashes under the pot, and the food in the pot is cooked, and the sweet potatoes are simmered and roasted; In the era of lack of food and drink, the hot golden roasted sweet potato has become a delicacy used by children to fight cravings.

Peel off the roasted blackened sweet potato skin, reveal the golden and soft sweet potato, and chew it in your mouth, the unique sweet and greasy taste is irresistible.

The home-grown red-skinned yellow soil sweet potatoes are soft and glutinous and sweet, without any old tendons, and the taste is similar to that of chestnuts, which is much more delicious than the sweet potatoes bought in the market in the previous life; Tian Lanfang couldn't help but move her index finger, and ate three in succession, and then she reluctantly stopped.

"Lan Fang, don't you like to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

The old lady frowned with a question mark on her face.

She was stunned, and some memories quickly came to her mind.

Perhaps because of the barefoot doctor in the dry village, the original owner paid special attention to hygiene; She dislikes the sweet potatoes copied from the bottom of the pot with a layer of ash, even if she peels the skin, the dust will fall on the sweet potato pulp, and she dislikes that when she eats roasted sweet potatoes, she will get her mouth full of black ash on her hands.

She never took a bite.

"Alas, you kid, live with that crumb, you don't dare to eat, you don't dare to drink! Okay, okay, this will be separated from him, you can eat as much as you want, let's not look at other people's eyes! ”

Obviously, Yao Daju obviously misunderstood; That's fine, in case the old lady is careful, break the casserole and ask in the end, knowing that she is Tian Lanfang, who has changed the core, wouldn't she be able to play a round.

"Mmmm, my mother is right. By the way, mother, last night, Tang Yue and the two of them actually didn't ...... at home."

Tian Lanfang lowered her voice, changed the topic, and cautiously glanced at the courtyard.

Tang Yue and Li Jianning were standing in front of the pigsty, talking something.

"I woke up in the middle of the night last night and saw that our door was open, so I bolted the door...... When we went out this morning, the door was still bolted......"

"You mean, these two kids weren't home all night?"

The old lady was stunned, with a look of surprise.

On the wedding night, why don't you stay at home and run out in the middle of the night? Even in the early spring, it's still a little deserted at night, and the two children are shaking outside, can't they freeze?

Could it be that these two children knew that she had been listening to the movement with her ears pricked up, so she deliberately ran out to hide?

They all came from when they were young, so who doesn't know about that? Do you still need to hide?

"Mother, I'm still going to get some small umbrellas for them to use? If there is no measure, it will be ...... all at once."

"It's a good day, and it's not raining, what kind of umbrella do you get?"

The old lady's eyes widened, and she shook her head and sighed; This old girl of hers has been looking a little abnormal recently, her temperament has become a little unrecognizable, and her speech is also upside down......

"Mother, I'm talking about the little umbrella, which is the ...... Tang Xing played with"

Tang Xing, who finished eating roasted sweet potatoes, was pouting his black lips, puffing out his cheeks and blowing balloons.

"You give Yueyue this? You've got water in your brain, haven't you? ”

The old lady waited to hug her nephew, and her face immediately sank.

"Grandma, my mother is eccentric! My mother won't let me play with balloons, so I'll keep them for my sister! ”

Tang Xing saw that he was coming to support him, and suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly released the balloon that was blowing in his mouth, and deliberately shook his head and yelled at Tang Yue and his family in the yard.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you blow one for me, and I'll play with the rest!"

Tang Xing ran to Li Jianning's side with a little black face like a little ghost, and the little black hand took out a "balloon" from his pocket and hurriedly stuffed it into Li Jianning's hand.

This......

Li Jianning didn't pick it up, didn't pick it up, his face was red, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Xing, who was waiting for him to help blow up the balloon.

"Go, go, go and play with the little dunzi!"

Seeing the man's pitiful appearance of being embarrassed but not knowing how to deal with it, Tang Yueqiang couldn't help laughing, grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee from the house, stuffed it into Tang Xing's hand, and stuffed the small umbrella in Tang Xing's hand into Li Jianning's pocket.

Li Jianning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

The sister-in-law is a little difficult.

Tang Yue peeled off the candy paper and stuffed it into Li Jianning's mouth with a toffee.

"I just like to eat white rabbit ......"

Li Jianning suddenly whispered.

Tang Yue came back to her senses and glared angrily.

This is a serious person, bad guy!
