Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

The team is most afraid that these children will come to find the "sweet pole" at this time, and they will destroy the sorghum in pieces. At this time, there will be team members to look after the sorghum. Drink, the children ran away like frightened rabbits, drilling all over the place, it is inevitable that there will be a few well-known ones who will be reported to the house, and they will hear his voice going straight to Yunxiao at night, and walk the next day limp.

As for picking melons and jujubes, it’s not a big deal. There are wild fruits all over the mountains, and no one cares about the pears and plums on the trees. Anyway, these things are for the children to eat. Of course, the team’s Public property is excluded, for example, fresh melon fields (cantaloupe).

The children, like the reconnaissance platoon in the revolutionary era, wore straw camouflage on their heads, crawled in the ditch beside the fresh melon field, and carefully observed the movements of the melon watchers. Three or two were in charge of sentry, and the rest were in charge of stealing. , In fact, it's not all for eating, it's just for fun.

I often see a group of wild boys being chased by melon watchers with sticks running all over the mountains and plains. At this time, no matter who the children are, they will be whipped on the buttocks if they are caught. run like a rabbit.

After running away, the melon watchers went back to the shack (thatched hut built by the side of the melon field for the melon watchers to live in), and the children got together again, whether they were whipped or not, they pressed the stolen melons The heads were eaten, and then they crawled over to start the next wave. This time, they were whipped and sentry, and after a while, there was another frenzy, and the screams of the stick echoed in the field.

The two brothers put on their shoes, walked around the house and crossed the river, and entered the sorghum field of the team. The elder brother searched carefully, and Zhang Xingming followed.

"Did you find it? What's it like?" Zhang Xingming followed his brother through the sorghum field. He had already turned the field halfway around, and he found one, which was dark, and was held by his brother.

This is what it looks like after the foreskin is removed. If you don’t remove the foreskin, it’s no different from other sorghum. Anyway, Zhang Xingming can’t tell. In his two lifetimes, he has nothing to do with these mountains, rivers, rivers, and crops, and he can’t learn it. .

The older brother stared up at the top of the sorghum, observed carefully without making a sound, Zhang Xingming hummed, "Young girl is beautiful, that big girl is so beautiful, the big girl walked into the green gauze tent" and followed behind, and the two of them walked around like this for a while. , and turned back to the side of the creek.Hearing the sound of laughing and laughing, there are children playing by the stream.

After leaving the sorghum field, my eyes brightened.Everywhere in the field was sorghum green. The sorghum was as tall as Zhang Xingming. He couldn't even see the sky, and he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

The elder brother walked to the stream, shouting as he walked, "Xingliang, is the water cold?" Xingliang is the third child of the Mancang family, one year older than Zhang Xingming. Their generation is called Fan Xingman. , there are nineteen members of this generation in the entire fort, my brother is ranked eighth, and Zhang Xingming is No.12.

It is said that the boss of the Baoli Xing generation was in his 76s and almost 40 in [-], and he was older than his father. His grandson ran all over the ground, and he was older than Zhang Xingming. When playing together, the adults would teach him: " Don't bully your young master, he is young."

A black monkey stood up in the water, thin, with small eyes, wiped his face, and said, "It's not cold, come down?" The brothers walked to the stream, and Xingliang also climbed up from the water and squatted on the bank side.The elder brother handed him the cotton wool in his hand, and said, "We went to Sandaohezi earlier, and brother Mancang was there too, and he even caught crickets for me."

Xingliang took Wo Mian, took a bite, and said, "It's not sweet, it's not time yet. My brother Sandaohezi won't let me go, saying there are water worms." The elder brother nodded, squatted down, and said, "Yes. Brother Mancang killed one just now, right next to me, I was not afraid, are you afraid?"

Xingliang said: "I'm not afraid of water bugs, I'm afraid my brother will cut me." At that time, there were three or four children in the family, and parents couldn't take care of them. Usually the older ones took care of the younger ones. That was a real beating. So generally the little ones are not afraid of their parents, but rather the big ones.

Zhang Xingming was still wondering why his brother gave Wo Mian to Xingliang so generously at this moment, because he knew it was not sweet.

The creek is not deep, and this place is a bay. A group of children blocked the stream with stones, and the water level was raised, more than half a meter deep.

The small rivers here in Zhang Xingming’s hometown are not deep, generally only a few tens of centimeters deep, and the larger ones are no more than one meter deep. If they reach two meters or three meters deep, they are big rivers. The river surface must be tens of meters wide. On the other side of the mountain, here No.

The elder brother took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Zhang Xingming usually watched from the sidelines, but he couldn't get excited to participate in it.It seems that there are gains and losses, although the body is back to the present, but the mind is still a 40-year-old man, and he can no longer happily do what children do.

I remember that in the last life, at this time, my brother blocked up the creek in front of my grandma's house with stones and asked Zhang Xingming to go down to take a bath. As a result, Zhang Xingming caught a cold and lay down for several days, so my brother ate the rare canned fruit.

Zhang Xingming always believed that it was a premeditated incident of someone being greedy. Unfortunately, he became a victim of his brother eating canned fruit. You must know that although it is summer, this pure mountain spring stream is still quite cool. Soak in it for a while. Will tremble.

Five or six children were splashing in the puddles. There is no big river here, and swimming is just like that.

Chapter 14

Zhang Xingming had nothing to do on the side. He looked up and saw that he was not far from grandma's house, more than [-] meters away, so he walked back.

After entering the room, there were two thermos pots on the cabinet. I picked them up and took a look, took the empty one down, scooped up a pot of warm water in the pot, carried it back to the water, called all the children over, and used The lid of the pot is filled with water, and a child drinks hot water from a pot of lid.

The water in the mountain stream is still quite cold, drinking some hot water can prevent colds.

When I returned the thermos and came out again, I saw Brother Mancang and the three older children walking up the yard, carrying fish baskets and a few poles, Brother Mancang was carrying a hand-cranked telephone on his back, Zhang Xingming I knew they were going to Dianyu, so I called out, "Brother Mancang."

The older children turned their faces, the second child of Mancang's family, and his own cousin Erwei, but they didn't know each other at this time, and the rest of them would not be recognized, but they must be relatives, counting their own grandfather, The thirty or so children of the five grandpas are all in this fort except for those who are married and leave as soldiers. Mancang's father is the eldest of the fourth grandpa's family.

Mancang said to Erwei: "Your family is my third uncle's second child, don't you know him?"

Erwei scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen it before." After speaking, he walked over and squatted down, and said to Zhang Xingming, "I am your second elder brother, and my father is your second uncle, do you know?"

Zhang Xingming nodded, and called "Second Brother". Although he didn't like the second uncle and the second aunt in his impression, the three descendants of the second uncle's family have frequent contacts with him, and they all recognize their relatives, and the relationship is quite good. .

The second elder brother pulled his head and said, "Come on, the second elder brother will catch toads for you." Zhang Xingming asked, "Where to catch toads?" , Said: "I'll call my brother, you go first."

He trotted all the way to his elder brother's side and shouted: "Brother, Xingliang, come up quickly, brother Mancang and second brother are passing the toad, hurry up."

(Northeast called the electric shock, the toad is an electric toad, and the electric toad is an electric toad.)

Brother and Xingliang asked, "Really?" They crawled out of the water, put on their clothes and shoes, and asked, "Where is it?" Zhang Xingming pointed to the well, and said, "The water along the edge of the well is still there." Shui Paozi, just go." Several other children also crawled out to get dressed.

A group of people ran to the edge of the well, more than two miles away, and they ran there in a while. From a distance, they saw the second brother wearing a pair of water pants, swinging back and forth in the water with a wooden pole, standing on the bank with his warehouse full. He pressed the phone and shook it vigorously.The two people next to them took their homemade nets, fished them out of the water from time to time, and put them into the fish basket.

This water bubble is on the lower edge of the well and the stream, and the terrain is lower than that of the stream.The well water comes out of the ground, and when the well is full, it will flow out and flow into the creek. When it rains, the water will flow out of the creek and flow to this side, forming such a water surface of tens of square meters in the depression. pond.

The pond has no water source and outlet, except for the stream water, which is silted up here by the rain.Because it is stagnant water, the water is very rotten, and it looks green in summer, so you can't take a bath or wash clothes.But because it is stagnant water, there are so many toads, it should be because there is enough food.

Anyway, this area is very dense with mosquitoes in summer, and the cats and dogs raised at home all avoid this area.

A group of cubs ran close, snorting and snorting, and saw the wooden stick in the second brother's hand shaking slowly, and then each toad stretched its legs, floated out of the water, was picked up by the net, and put into the fish basket.

There are also fish floating on the water and swaying with the waves. The water surface is emerald green, which is the symbolic color of fertile water. If there are more fertile water and algae, the water will be green. Many private fish ponds in later generations have this color.But in this era of beautiful mountains and green waters, such water is considered too dirty, and no one even eats the fish in it.

Mancang yelled at the group of young people: "Stay back. If you fall in and drown, no one will save you. Whoever goes into the water will die, listen?" Xingliang leaned back obediently, and stood behind Mancang, Zhang Xingming also pulled his elder brother and walked over. The other children just moved their feet back a little to see if Mancang wasn't really scolding, so they stopped moving and stood there watching.

This pond has been around for a long time, so it must be older than everyone present. No one knows what kind of terrain is underneath and how deep it is. The full warehouse is not to scare these children. If it falls, no one will dare to go down to save it. It’s not like clear water. Can see things underwater, who dares to open their eyes here?Looking at the green water makes me sick to think about it.

The back of the toad is dark brown. It doesn't look as smooth as a frog. It has some bumps and is bigger than a frog. This thing is a specialty of Northeast China and is a world-famous husky frog.What's the deal with huskies?

After electrifying for a while, most of the fish baskets were filled, he let go of the phone and sat on the ground, panting and said to Brother Er Wei in the water: "No, Er Wei, shaking this thing is too tiring. No, you can shake it for a while, and I'll turn off the power." Erwei looked back at Brother Mancang, smiled slyly, and said, "What's the matter, I can't shake it, and I'll lose energy after a few shakes, and I can't get through anything."

Brother Erwei is relatively thin and small, and he really doesn’t look like a strong Northeast guy, but Zhang Xingming knows that Brother Erwei is not what he looks like. If he really wants to make trouble, Brother Mancang may not be his opponent, but he has more eyes and is more Slippery, more lazy.

"Come on, work harder, and we'll withdraw in a few more strokes, there are too many mosquitoes." Brother Erwei stretched out his hand and scratched his back a few times, and said to Brother Mancang.

Brother Mancang supported it with his hands, got up from the ground, and said: "This thing is a little weak, just get a bigger one somewhere." Brother Er Wei said: "This is my third uncle who doesn't know where to get it." Yes, it’s a lot of work to make this thing, and it’s a big one, which is no faster than we can use a net to fish.” The power generation of the hand-cranked telephone is indeed not large, but the electric fish is not bad.

After playing for a while, there were too many mosquitoes, and Zhang Xingming had several bites on his body. Brother Erwei came up from the pond, took off his water pants, several people cleaned up, and walked to the fort with their things on their backs. A group of children Just follow behind.

The farther away from the pond, the number of mosquitoes is obviously less, no longer buzzing and screaming.

Brother Erwei and Brother Mancang went to the side of the road to break some wormwood. The poles were as thick as a finger and 1.5 meters long.Two people took the wormwood rod and twisted it with their hands. After twisting a few times, the wormwood rod softened. The two of them weaved a basket together, picked more than a dozen larger toads from the fish basket, put them into the wormwood basket, and handed them to Brother, said: "Here, let your grandma make it and share it with the second child." Zhang Xingming looked into the basket, and the toad was still in a coma, stretching out his legs, limp.

Xingliang must have something to eat, and the other children were a little envious and watched eagerly.

The elder brother walked happily to grandma's house with the wormwood basket in his arms. Zhang Xingming followed behind. Brother Mancang and Erwei went back to the fort directly. A group of children were also from the fort and followed behind them.

As soon as he entered the yard, a toad jumped out of the wormwood basket and jumped directly to the ground. My brother watched it jump to the edge of the pigsty a few times, screaming in his mouth, and wanted to chase it.Zhang Xingming stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of the Artemisia basket, his mouth was big and his hands were small, and he said to his brother, "Hurry up and cover it, I'll run away in a while."

My brother put the wormwood basket on the ground, and the two of them squatted down and covered the mouth of the basket with their four small hands. They could feel the stunned toad slowing down under their hands, jumping up and down, touching the palms of the two people from time to time. .The basket was made up temporarily, and the eye on the side of the basket was a bit big, and some toads slid out along the eye, and the two brothers pushed back one by one with their hands.

My brother still didn't forget to go back to the side of the pigsty to look for the one that ran away, but it was gone, probably jumped into the pigsty.A few chickens gathered around, staring at the Artemisia basket and cooing, and my brother stretched out his hand and pushed the chicken away, saying, "I don't want you to eat this." Zhang Xingming shouted, "Grandma, grandma, come quickly."

Grandma trotted out of the room and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Come on, the toad is going to run away, and I can't cover it." Grandma turned her head and called to Grandpa. Grandpa took out a sack, walked over, put the sack on the wormwood basket, turned it over, and all the toads went into the pocket. , can no longer run away.Grandpa looked at the toad in his pocket and said, "It's quite fat, and it's not small. Where did it come from?"

The elder brother said: "Mancang and Erwei gave it to them, and they charged it in the bubble over there. It's much older, and it's such a big basket." He compared the size of the fish basket with his hands.
