Hello 1983

  Chapter 92 Rolling Suque

  Finally, the pheasant was not bathed in boiling water, but Liu Jinfeng reluctantly sent it to the shed of the chicken coop, with hemp ropes tied to its legs.

  Big head also borrowed Gao Wenxue's bicycle and went straight to the commune, while Liu Qingshan and the others went back to work.

   When I returned to the reed harvesting site, I saw that several pieces of reeds had been laid down, and everyone was bundling them.

  Good guy, a bundle of reeds is as thick as an armband, more than two meters long, and looks quite thick.

   But it is not too heavy to carry on the shoulders. Liu Qingshan and the others are responsible for carrying it on the bullock cart.

  When the cart was full, it was pulled back to the village, unloaded on the yard, and called to the idle women in the village to weave reed curtains.

  Anyway, there are plenty of reeds, so the reed curtains are thick and densely woven, and thatched over the greenhouse, it’s like a quilt, which will definitely keep you warm.

   In this way, we continued to work until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone stopped work, talking and laughing and walking back.

  Those who can smoke, also take out various weapons, or pipes and pans, or rolling tobacco, and there are very few smokers.

  Just now in the reed pond, I was holding back and didn’t dare to smoke. If the reeds were ignited and the whole camp was burned, there would be no salvation.

   This is just a reed marsh, if there is a fire in the forest, it will be even worse. Liu Qingshan still remembers the fire a few years later.

horrible! Terrible can only be used to describe it.

  Everyone chatted and laughed, and when they returned to the old party secretary's house, the smell was savory when they entered the house, and Marshal Zhang was busy working on the pot.

  He came back early to cook for a while, and made two big dishes: a pork stew with vermicelli, and a big cold dish.

  Everyone washes their hands and faces and starts eating. There is a table on the kang and a table on the ground.

   Pork stewed vermicelli is also a famous local dish. The big head bought five catties of meat and sent it to Liu Qingshan's house for more than one catty, and stewed the rest.

  They are all big square pieces of meat, and even the vermicelli are oily and red, so you can be bald.

  The cold dishes are also tasteful, sweet and sour, and besides dried tofu shreds and cabbage shreds, there are big vermicelli.

  Pour some red chili oil on top of it, you will have an appetite when you look at it, and the most rare thing is that there is a little coriander sprinkled in it, so it will have a taste.

  In previous winters, I dare not even think about it. This year, the greenhouses were shut down. According to Liu Qingshan’s proposal, each family set aside two ridges for their own plots, and they can grow whatever they like.

   Firstly, in winter, there are some fresh vegetables to eat; secondly, to see the growth and accumulate experience. After all, we plan to expand the scale in the future, and the variety of vegetables will continue to enrich.

   After a meal, they were full with wine and food, and each of them ate until their mouths were greasy, and their faces were full of satisfaction.

   "If you can eat pork stewed vermicelli noodles every day, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

   Zhang Ganzi also had the cheek to eat, and he was still muttering after eating.

   "Hurry up and serve the pigs when you're done eating, don't waste your time here!"

  The old branch secretary waved his hand and said angrily.

  Liu Qingshan muttered to himself: As long as you work hard, your days will not be far away!

  …

   After collecting the reeds for three days in a row, the project was considered to have come to an end, and the rest was to organize more people to weave the reed curtains by hand.

  The number of pheasants in Liu Qingshan's family also increased to twenty, which made Liu Jinfeng very angry.

   This thing can neither lay eggs nor eat meat. Isn’t this a waste of feed?

   On the contrary, Si Feng and Wu Feng liked these pheasants very much, and fed them on time and regularly every day. Little girls always like those colorful things.

  After feeding this morning, the fourth child held a pheasant feather in his hand, and happily ran back to the house, showing off in front of everyone.

  This pheasant feather is more than two feet long, and it still has a metallic luster on it, which is really beautiful.

   "It would be nice if two sticks fell off, and they fit right into the head."

  The fourth child is gesturing with chicken feathers on the head of the mountain apricot. She has seen Mu Guiying's shape in New Year pictures of other people's houses, and the one with two pheasant feathers stuck in her head is very majestic.

  Liu Qingshan heard this, and his heart moved: "Fourth brother, I will save up all the pheasant feathers in the future. If I save too much, I will ask my mother to make a feather duster."

  At this moment, most people have a feather duster, which can be used to clean the dust.

  Of course, there is another important use. The little ones in the family must all be deeply impressed.

  The feather duster is of course made of rooster feathers. It would be more beautiful if replaced with brighter pheasant feathers.

  Cai Fenger and Shan Xinger clapped their hands, expressing that they must feed the pheasants well in the future, and then tied beautiful feather dusters.

   This made Liu Jinfeng worry: "You two little girls are really using chicken feathers as arrows, right?"

   "Sister, we listen to you the most."

  The little old four had a sweet mouth, hurried over to coax people, and took out four Galahas and a cloth bag from his pocket, wanting to play with the eldest sister.

  Liu Jinfeng was a little tired, and asked the fourth and fifth children to play by themselves, but Yang Hongying was more curious to see Galaha, so she joined him.

  Liu Qingshan was watching from the side, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up: These childhood toys are really nostalgic.

  At this time, children rarely have the money to buy ready-made toys, and they all develop them by themselves.

   Just like this Galaha, it is actually the patella on the hoof of an animal. The cow’s is the largest, followed by the pig’s. The sheep’s Galaha is also called the sheep’s crutch, and is the most popular among girls.

  In summer, I usually use impatiens from the garden to dye the goat crutches red, making it even more beautiful.

  As for what impatiens is, also known as henna, there was no nail polish in that era, and little girls who loved smug beauty would pick henna and dye their toenails and fingernails red.

  In fact, the best Galaha is from roe deer. It is small and exquisite, very delicate. It used to be a gift for good friends.

   It is said that Jamuka once presented a roe deer Galaha to Temujin, who later became Genghis Khan.

  Liu Qingshan always thought that when Daxia Jin was writing about shooting the eagles, he should ask Tuo Lei to present Guo Jing with a Galaha.

  Thinking about it makes me feel: In the vast desert, Tuo Lei and Guo Jing stared affectionately, and then Tuo Lei took out something: "An Da, this Galaha is for you..."

  Warriors of all nationalities like to wear bear Galaha, and regard it as a symbol of bravery.

  The fourth child took out a pair of Galahas with four pieces. First, teach the elder sister to know the names of Galahas.

   Galaha usually has four forms, namely: needle, wheel, pit, and belly.

   Then teach her how to play. When playing, there are various methods, such as garaha, move galaha and so on.

  Throw the bag high first, then grab the Galaha in the same state, and then catch the bag that fell in the air. This is called "chuǎ".

The meaning of moving is to arrange the Galaha in the order of the needle, the wheel, the pit, and the belly. Every time you arrange it, you have to throw the pocket once. Get into the right position before catching the pocket.

   This game may seem simple, but it actually tests your hand-eye coordination.

   A novice like Yang Hongying was in a hurry, either the pockets missed and fell on the kang, or the galah on the kang was messed up.

  Looking at Yang Hongying yelling and yelling happily like a child, Liu Qingshan couldn't help showing a smile on his face: This old lady is getting more and more integrated into the current life.

  Looking at it, he couldn't help being moved, and quietly found the camera out of the cabinet to record this beautiful moment.

   Presumably seeing this photo in the future will bring back many memories, right?

  Inspired by this incident, Liu Qingshan began to record every bit of life in the village with his camera.

   This made the kids in Jiapigou very happy:

   Someone took a picture while playing glass balls.

   Fan the paper and someone took a picture.

   Horseshoe nails were fastened with rubber lumps, and some people took pictures.

  The grown-ups were staring at him greedily, no, on Sunday morning, just after dinner, a group of young and old surrounded Zhang Shuzi and came to Liu Qingshan's house, telling him to go **** Su Que.

   It happened to be idle these few days, so Liu Qingshan took out the rolling cage from the warehouse and cleaned the dust on it.

   Seeing that there was no bird oil in his rolling cage, Zhang Jizi grabbed an old oil ball from his own cage and stuffed it in.

   "Brother, we are going too."

  Xiao Lao Si tugged at the corner of Liu Qingshan's clothes, Shan Xing also watched eagerly.

  She knew that when boys went out to play, the most annoying thing was to take their little girls with them.

  But Liu Qingshan is different, even if they don't say anything, they still have to lead.

   Unexpectedly, Yang Hongying also took the initiative to join the army. It seems that this old lady has completely let herself go.

  Picking up the cage and carrying the bird, Liu Qingshan ran out of the village in a mighty manner. Liu Qingshan ran in the front, holding a camera, and took a group photo for the large troops behind.

   It's worth it, even if you can't catch Su Que, it's worth it!

  The boys and girls were all happy.

  Not far from the village is a miscellaneous forest, elms, oaks, birches, mountain nail trees, etc. Of course, there is also the yellow glass tree that made a great contribution last time, with bunches of small black fruits hanging on it, all of which have dried up.

   "There is a Su Que!"

   Zhang Jizi had sharp eyes and was the first to see a group of small birds looking for food in the bushes.

  Su Que is about the same size as sparrow, and similar in appearance, the difference is that the feathers on the head and shell are red, and the belly also has red hair.

   This kind of bird is not as temperamental as the thief in the old house. Even if it is caught, it should eat and drink to feed itself.

   In the words of the children, it is rather stupid.

  In the wild field, there are many wild perilla seeds. Su Que likes to eat perilla seeds most, hence the name.

I saw this group of little birds nimbly falling on the pole of Suzi. The seeds of Suzi were hidden in the small trumpet-shaped peel. Cheerful chirping.

  The boys and girls were in a hurry, hanging their cages on the trees beside the forest.

  The rolling cages are all made very finely, and the core part is the two ingenious rollers.

There are ears of grain pinned to the roller, which can lure the sparrow to peck at it. From the outside, there is no clue, but when the sparrow falls on the roller, the roller cannot bear its weight, and it will roll inward. .

  Su Que was brought into the cage at once, and then the roller returned to normal, and Su Que could not fly out.

  While hanging the cage, Liu Qingshan took another picture, and then everyone started walking the bird.

   This is a real bird walk, that is, to drive the Su Que to the vicinity of the cage, and the fourth and fifth children also followed suit, expelling the flock of birds.

   Waiting for the birds to enter the forest, the rest is to wait patiently. Everyone gathers together and looks nervously at the bird cage in the distance.

   With sharp eyes, he lowered his voice and yelled: "Look, one rolled into my cage!"

   After more than ten minutes, everyone couldn't hold back and ran over to check the harvest.

   Zhang Xiaozi naturally harvested the most, and there were five or six more in the cage.

   "Brother, there are a total of 4 sparrows in our cage now, and there was 1 old Youzi in the past, so didn't 3 get out!"

  The youngest and fourth were excitedly reporting the results of the battle.

  Liu Qingshan scratched the back of his head: Why do I feel like an arithmetic problem in the first grade of elementary school?

  Yang Hongying also came up, opened the door of the cage, reached in, quickly grabbed one and came out, then took out the cage, with a light slap of the palm, Su Que spread its wings into the sky.

  She looked up, watching the bird disappear from sight, a smile gradually appeared on her face.

  Fly freely, cute elf!

  From now on, I will fly with you...
