Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Jumping rope and kicking the shuttlecock are very common, and today's students are still playing, but the rope and shuttlecock used at that time are beyond the imagination of today's children. The binding belts and shuttlecocks are all homemade. The shuttlecock feet are made of iron sheets, and the glass silk ropes are broken up and worn on them.Or someone who can get chicken feathers, and make a chicken feather shuttlecock by himself, will definitely make other students envious for a semester.

In summer, a large group of wild boys get together to make a noise, that is, to play yellow mud.The yellow mud in Zhang Xingming's house has big tendons, and when mixed with water, it becomes sticky and hard.A large group of children, some with clothes, some with baskets from home, and some with schoolbags, dug up the loess from the foot of the mountain next to the gate of the mineral processing plant, and then made rattling noises under the staff dormitory building of the mineral processing plant.The dormitory building is right in front of Zhang Xingming's house, right outside the courtyard.Below the dormitory building is a concrete drip table, which is less than two meters wide from the corner of the building.

Reconcile the yellow mud with water, find a good contrast between the water and the yellow mud, and it will not make a wow sound when it is dry and thin.After reconciliation, first break the yellow mud into squares on the cement platform. The appearance of the smashed yellow mud is oily and smooth, and then start to knead, kneading one side into a nest, like a square bowl. Note that the bottom surface should be slightly thinner than the four walls, and the thickness of one side should be uniform. This is technical work and directly affects the success rate.

Everyone is ready, let's start the game.

After arranging the order, everyone one by one threw the finished wah-wah sound onto the concrete platform downstairs.This must be played on a concrete platform, because it is flat enough, if it is not flat, it cannot be played, and it will not make a sound when it falls.

When falling, moisten the four sides of the mouth of the bowl again with water, then hold it in your hand, with the mouth of the bowl facing down, and drop it hard on the concrete platform, making sure that the four sides of the mouth of the bowl touch the ground at the same time, and you will hear a "snap" There is a crisp sound, and the bottom of the bowl explodes, which is a success.Don't underestimate this thing, the sound of falling out is quite serious, catching up with the New Year's whip.

Then everyone judges together, whoever falls loudly, who is the scumbag, the stinky person takes the belongings to dig the loess and carry the water, and the winner will wait until the loess and water are brought, and the next round will start.This thing can't be reused. The yellow mud after falling is thrown aside. If you can't make it, it will make a rattling noise. Even if you squeeze it out, it won't make a sound.

They are all seven or eight-year-old children, playing with water and mud. There are many situations among them. Let alone the ones that are all over their bodies and faces, they accidentally get them on others, so you wipe me and I paint. As soon as you hit you, it often leads to a melee, some crying, some laughing, some running, some jumping, tossing for a long time before remembering and then making a wow noise, and after a while, someone else hit someone else, and once again a melee, always Come back and say, after school and playing this game, when it’s time for dinner, every house is filled with the sound of “啪,啪” and “Ah-woo-woo-”, and when we come out to play again after dinner, everyone has changed their clothes , and all of them were limping with grinning teeth, and all of them had broom marks on their buttocks, so today I have a memory.

To say that wah wah ring is basically a game for the younger age group, and few people play it after the third grade. Paji is a game for the middle age group, played from the second grade to the fourth and fifth grade.And Maoxiahu is a game for all ages that can be played from elementary school to junior high school.

Maoxiahu (peek-a-boo) is much simpler, but this game is usually not played during the day, they just wait for dinner, and run out of the house as soon as they eat, shouting: "Who's kid, come out and play soon!" In a few minutes, more than a dozen children ran out from east to west, and sometimes there were twenty or thirty, and a large group ran to the factory building or construction site next to the residence, because there were more bunkers there. The cat is blind.Maoblind refers to blindfolding a person's eyes, making him so blind that he can't see. In fact, he has never really blindfolded anyone while playing, and it is all blindfolded by catching people.Everyone uses rock-paper-scissors to decide who loses, and the rest get up.The arrester must consciously close his eyes and check ten to twenty numbers aloud. After the check, he is allowed to open his eyes and start arresting people.No one cheated, and honestly checked the number with eyes closed, and started looking for people after checking. Sometimes I had to go home and sleep before the end of a game, because there were so many cats, and I hadn’t found them all by ten o’clock.At that time, it was very contemptible to play cheating with a partner. No matter what you were playing, once someone cheated, the children in the group would know the next day, and they would all look at him strangely, and consciously not take him when playing. Or avoiding him, that would be miserable, you can only let the adults take you to other children's homes to apologize, promise that you will never cheat again, then you will slowly accept him back, and you will be scolded by your parents, for children Generally speaking, the abandonment of this group is a very severe punishment.

After I went to junior high school, I didn’t play that way anymore. I changed to kicking the box, placing a tin box or a broken washbasin as the starting point. The game also changed from a simple game where everyone hides and waits for someone to find it. While looking for someone, you must always pay attention to protecting the tin box or broken washbasin. If you are looking for someone, you must find a way to run to the starting point and kick the tin box without being discovered by the person looking for it. If you kick it, you will win. Everyone Then start, the seeker continues to search, if the seeker calls out during the kicking process, that is, before the moment the kick hits the box, it will die, standing there waiting for the next one, dead People on the other side are not allowed to speak or do anything to help people on their own side, otherwise it will be considered that this side has lost.

Maoxiahu was my favorite game when I was a child, and it was also the least played large-scale game. There were many people involved, and the ending was unpredictable.

At that time, there was a construction team in the factory next to my house. It was plastered. The yard was quite large without a gate. There were all kinds of shelves, ladders, and trolleys in piles. It was a good place for us to be blind. It's a bit dirty, and sometimes it will scratch the clothes, and I will be beaten almost every time I go home after playing.

I have a classmate, the Wang Zhichang mentioned above. At that time, he was small and thin. Once at night, he went to the pile of trolleys through the small space under the trolley. It turned out that it was after nine o’clock. At ten o'clock, when the adults came out and called to go home to sleep, the arresting Yang Zhendong hadn't found him, so he shouted outside: "Wang Zhichang, don't play anymore, come out and go home."He stayed there without moving or making a sound. In the end, everyone went home. His parents came out to look for him. Finally, my dad also went, and many people from the neighbors went. The flashlight showed him lying on the ground in the pile of trolleys. After returning home, he was beaten by his father. The sound was heard ten miles away. He was beaten for more than an hour. When he went to school the next day, his arms and legs were all swollen. Rinzi, one by one, said to Yang Zhendong as if nothing happened, "You lost last night, you didn't catch me."

Among the parents of all my classmates, the fathers of Dachang and Baoqiu were the most ruthless in beating their children. They were so ruthless that they were hung up with wires and whipped by belts. Their fathers and us classmates would run away when we saw each other. We were all afraid. Let’s talk about that At that time, every family's children were beaten, and they cried like a competition at dinner time.

In addition to Mao Xiahu, there is another game in summer that has a large number of participants, that is, hoop rolling.

Weld a circle with steel bars, and some don't even weld it, just make a circle with a small gap.Then use the No. [-] iron wire to make push hands, one side is the grip, and the other side is U-shaped. When you push the U on the hoop, the hoop will turn and run forward, and the child will push behind. Parents are willing to make some small iron rings made of money silk on the big iron ring, and they will make a rattling sound when they run.

When playing, it is often a group of children lined up in a column, each pushing a hoop in their hands, and running along the alleys and alleys. Faces, one by one, like flower monkeys, the iron hoop clattered and turned, and the hoop could not fall down from the beginning to the end of the play, and kept turning, and then looked at the other children in awe. The look of admiration.

I never had my own hoop. My brother did have one, but it was given to me by other children. At that time, I just watched other children play. I never played this game myself. It is also a regret in my childhood, no Do you know why my brother and I didn't do it at that time? Dad didn't do it?I don't know, I can't remember.

As for blowing soap bubbles and playing finger games, girls play them a lot, and boys also play them. My brother and I have played them before, but this kind of game is played by ourselves at home, and other children rarely participate, so it’s okay. To a large extent, it’s just that in that era, there was nothing, and this was the only way to entertain at home.Blowing soap bubbles is considered an extravagant game, and that game consumes soap. In those days, soap was a treasure in the family. Which family would let children make trouble at will.The same is true for finger games. This requires a flashlight. Turn off the light, turn on the flashlight, and shine it on a wall, and then use your fingers to make various shapes. Rabbits, dogs, and eagles are brought to life by the flashlight on the wall.It also needs to be played occasionally, and the battery is wasted. Sometimes adults will scold them when they see it, and if it is not done well, they will have to take a few hits on the buttocks.

The other boys played a lot, even riding horses to fight.

A group of little boys were holding sticks and branches, and some even tied a red cloth on them to pretend to be red cherry guns.Find a place with dirt bumps, or a place with up and down slopes, divide everyone into two groups with the palms of the hands and the back of the hands (the palms of the hands are back, everyone stretches out their hands together, the group with the palms up, and the group with the palms down), and then choose one Commander, the two commanders divide rock-paper-scissors into the offensive and defensive sides, and then the defender climbs up the slope, or above the dirt bag, forms a formation, and says to the people below: "Get ready, let's attack." The group below rushed upwards at the order of the commander, the ones at the top pushed down, and the ones at the bottom arched upwards, forming a ball.

Sometimes pushing and pushing really started fighting, rolling from top to bottom, the beaten one sat on the ground and cried, the two commanders adjusted, got up after a while to wipe away their tears, and continued to play, and after a while the two over there again When a fight breaks out, the commander will try to coax you.Sometimes two commanders fight, and the war game is announced to be disbanded. The two commanders lead the soldiers on their side to find other places to play. It is also interesting to say that once the team is divided, it seems that there will be rules. At this time, no matter which group of children will change, even if the two commanders fight and break up, they will follow the commander and will not go to the other side to play.

Sometimes, older brothers and younger brothers are on one side, and they will not be favoritism. At that time, a large group of children, often several pairs of older brothers and younger brothers, could not all be divided into one side.

If you are not the youngest when you are playing war, and you have a military jacket or a military cap, then the possibility of you becoming a commander is very, very high. At that time, it was very arrogant for a child to have a military cap. The image of the soldiers of the era is extremely great in the hearts of children.

In addition to fighting, there are also chalk and talc pens, but these days chalk and talc pens are considered expensive things, and not everyone can play with them. If you have a pen, you can draw and write. They talked together from time to time: "Let me hold it, let me draw it, let me touch it".Our home is in an industrial area, so there is very little chalk, but there are a lot of talc pens. I don’t know how the talc pens are made. They are long white strips, square, like stones, and the writing is white.Workers in the factory use it to draw dimensions and draw shapes on iron. They are found everywhere, and it is easy to make some out for play.

"An old man asked me to borrow two balls. He said he would pay them back in three days, but he still hadn't returned them in four days. Fuck it, he bought three sticks of leeks for three cents, and one piece of tofu for six cents. Six.” At that time, children would read this paragraph, which is the most basic way to play with chalk and talc, a mouth trick in the image of a grinning little old man.

In winter, when the snow has buried the earth, there is a piece of white or blue everywhere, the white is snow, and the green is ice.

There are many places where ice appears by accident. There is no water source or river, but a large piece of ice appears. There are many such cases.

Girls usually hide in the house in winter, rarely come out to play with boys, of course, there must be.

When it snows heavily in winter, it is impossible to build a snowman. There are only two ways to build a snowman. One is to pile up the snow and compact it like a brick, and use sculpture to shape it. The other is to wait for the snow to melt in spring. At this time, the snow is sticky, and it is easy to roll into large balls and stick together.In addition to these two methods, if you want to build a snowman, you can only rely on thinking. The snow does not gather together at all, and it will disperse when it is made.Therefore, very few children in the Northeast of that era actually made snowmen. On the contrary, there were more snowmen in the south, because the weather there was not so cold, and the snow was half-melted and sticky when it fell.

Of course, it is okay to pinch snow balls and hit a snow pole. This is because the temperature of the hands melts the snow into a sticky state, and it is held into a ball.It is impossible to wear gloves and hit a snow pole like on TV.A group of wild children ran in the vast white field, laughing and shouting, their faces and hands were frozen purple, the sweat formed mist and rose on each small head, and the heat from their breath formed frost on the brim of the hat. The winter of the age and the children of winter.

There is also a dangerous game that can be played in winter and summer. I don’t know if it is available in other places. It is "Gaz".

A kind of off-white stone with a relatively soft texture. It boils when it touches water, and the gas that comes out can be ignited with an open flame. At that time, there were "gas lamps" in our house. There was an iron box on the bottom, and a The upside-down box has a hollow iron pipe and an air outlet with a needle eye. Put a piece of gas in the box, fill it with water, and fasten the upper part. The boiled gas will come out from the needle eye. Used as a lamp.A piece of gas the size of a matchbox can burn for hours.

Children will definitely not use this thing as a lamp, but to fry it.

Dig a small hole on the ground, sprinkle some urine in it, smash the gas block, put a small piece in the urine, and then the urine boils with a sound of Chi.Find a tin can, or some kind of thin stone flakes, cover the small hole, leak a little gap, wait a while, use a match, and there will be a loud noise, the can can fly more than ten meters high, With fire.If thin stone flakes are used, they will be smashed and smashed everywhere. Of course, the urine inside will also be everywhere.Winter is easy, find a snow nest, put gas in it and it will boil, and the snow can be directly used as water.If it is not covered, as long as the water is not dry, the fire can last for a long time. It is a good way to warm your hands when you hit the snow poles in winter, but be careful when you take Gas with you, and don’t get water or snow or clothes. Just a big hole.It is often that this side is done and ready, and a child who doesn't know the truth is called over there, and when he gets closer to pick up a match, "Peng", I was so scared that I screamed.

In winter, there is another game that is not a game, which is picking coke.There are many large boilers in the Northeast, and each boiler burns a lot of coal in winter. Every afternoon at four or five o'clock, it is the time for the boiler to dig out the furnace, which is to clean the furnace that has been burning for a day, and take out the leftover ashes Pour it out and fill it with new coal.

So at this time, children from every household gathered around the dirty mound outside the boiler room, waiting for the ashes to be poured out of the boiler room, and as soon as the car that poured out the ashes left, the children would hold small baskets and bend the iron wires. The finished tongs were rushed to the steaming ashes pile, and the unburnt cinders were scraped from the inside with the heat of scalding feet. Because it was burned through the fire once, it was similar to coke, so it was called coke.

This thing is resistant to burning and has no smoke. It burns better than coal. Besides, if there are too many of this thing, coal will be saved. It costs money to buy coal.

Picking up coke is like fighting a war. Comparing eyesight and speed is a must-have skill for children in this era. Seeing the children raise their necks in disgrace, and the cow coaxing home with a small basket full of coke, is like Like a victorious general, Zhang Xingming had an indescribable feeling in his heart. How could the children of future generations imagine that their parents were compared to this when they were young, and their pride was also because of this. Of course, no matter how dirty it was at this time, What you get back home is also praise, and you won't be beaten.

Zhang Xingming had picked cabbage leaves in the winter in his last life, but in this life his family conditions were good, so he didn’t have to go out to pick them up every morning like in his previous life, so he didn’t see anyone picking them up, but there must be some, the cabbage leaves he picked up were all It is hard to freeze, and the better ones are eaten as vegetables, and the bad ones are fed to the pigs, which is also a labor of the children at this time.

Carrying water and coal, tidying up the house and cleaning the windows are all children's work. Zhang Xingming did it from childhood to adulthood in his last life.The most uncomfortable thing is carrying water. I am not tall enough. I wrap the iron hooks at both ends of the pole around the pole a few times. I am not strong enough. I carry half a bucket at a time, and when I finish carrying a tank of water, my shoulders will turn purple.

Chapter 36

(Seeking collection, asking for recommendation tickets, asking for suggestions, asking for genuine book friends to click)

In this era, the most lively thing is the Chinese New Year.

There are more firecrackers in the city than in the countryside, and there are many "flower patterns", that is, all kinds of blooming flowers, which are held in the hand and placed on the ground, flying and exploding, colorful.

But this thing is not put away casually, the adults are watching, you have to wait until the time set by the adults before putting it away.

Children like two things the most. One is the Monkey King, a long pole with a rocket-like head on it. When it is lit, it jumps into the sky with a "squeak", and then explodes with a bang.

This thing is not dangerous and can be held in the hand, so there is room for aiming.

Make the rod shorter, because it will bend when it is long, making it difficult to aim.Aiming at someone's back, the hand holding it is relaxed and can't be too hard, a little, "squeak", it hits that person's back, and then "bang", the timid one fell to the ground in fright .

There is also the spit ball, that is, the magic bullet, ranging from five rounds to two hundred rounds.Every household in Northeast China needs to hang lanterns during the Chinese New Year. There are three or five groups of children, holding five spitting balls, spraying lanterns everywhere, and laughing and booing and running around when someone’s lantern is lit. This is a rare pleasure.

It was the same Dachang who sprayed a 25-shot spitting ball on the hillside in front of the building. As a result, the withered grass on the hill was attracted. At first, it was just a small flame. This buddy laughed and asked us to watch it. The fire seems to be quite bullish.

But after a while, I couldn’t laugh anymore. The fire was so big that even the withered grass burned up, and the smoke was billowing. After the fire melted the snow, the grass roots under the snow also burned, and it became bigger and bigger. The winter wind in the Northeast is strong, and soon a fire on the hillside is formed.

At this time, not only Wang Zhichang, but also the spectators panicked. There was a pine forest on the top of the mountain. If the fire burned to the other side of the mountain, it would be a big event and a disaster.

There is not only a pine forest on the top of the mountain, but also a substation and several families, so everyone shouted and climbed to the hillside to fight the fire, and the adults also ran out to climb the mountain.

Fortunately, it was winter, the snow was quite thick, the fire spread unhappily, and finally extinguished before it reached the top of the mountain. Adults and children climbed down from the hillside. The hillside was quite steep, with a slope of nearly 50 degrees. .

The people who came down were all black-headed and dirt-faced, and their spitting was black. Some of their clothes and pants were torn, and my clothes were torn. Little heroes should be praised.

That night, Wang Zhichang's voice vibrated among the four buildings for a long time and became hoarse.
