Ten thousand hot arrows shot at the earth in the scorching sun. Yes, the feeling of "heat" in summer is like "fire"!
Soon, watermelons and iced drinks came, and electric fans and air conditioners appeared black and pink.
Therefore, people who want to be cool in summer close the door, put down the heavy curtains, isolate the heat from the outside world, and then press the button of the remote control to make the air cool and sweat-free. The summer vacation under W I F I is leisurely and wonderful.
Back in time, rural people spent their summer more than 30 years ago. Of course, they simply can't imagine today's summer life.
At that time, adults and children in every household put ponies in the shade. In summer, they started a day of gossip, or sat around and chose vegetables while chatting one build and one build did not build. Adults talked all over the place, while children made cheeky noises. Obviously, there is sweat on the tip of the nose, but everyone enjoys it and can't feel its heat for a long time.
Occasionally, people passing by in the sun, wearing cool hats and bamboo summer clothes, sweat gradually spread on their backs. Hearing the lively voices and seeing the shade under the trees, I hurried over, found a clean stone, sat down, took off my cool hat as a fan, lifted my clothes to wipe the sweat, and joined the conversation. ...
Twenty or thirty miles in Fiona Fang, every household, weddings, funerals, market conditions, anecdotes, news from far and near, and all kinds of unconfirmed legends are passed down from mouth to mouth under the shade of trees, which is simply a storytelling theater on earth.
The sun is getting higher and higher, the shadow of the house is getting smaller and smaller, and the shade can't stop the heat. The crowd dispersed and went home for dinner. After dinner, break the watermelon soaked in the well in the morning, enjoy the cool, then wipe the bamboo bed with well water, and take a contented afternoon nap.
The sun is in the sky and the summer is hot. In the shadow left under the wall, there are also old farmers returning from hoeing, opening their chests, drinking herbal tea, wiping their sweat and fanning their straw hats to catch their breath.
If at noon, the only weapon for rural people to resist the scorching sun is the electric fan! Watermelon can only be enjoyed for a moment, the bamboo bed is already hot, but if the child is still hot, the cattail leaf fan is a sharp weapon to curb prickly heat.
Pufan, made of large and tough palm leaves, is rough in texture, with thin threads to lock the edges, sometimes exposing bamboo branches, which will prick people if you are not careful, but it is cheap and easy to store, and is not afraid of water mold, so it is very practical. How many children sleep under their mother's repeated cattail fans!
Goose feather fan, woven from layers of long feathers of geese and ducks, is soft and moist, mellow in hand, painted on the fan surface, a little expensive, but the goose feathers are easily broken, and the common goose feathers have fallen apart in the second year. Pragmatic villagers are still using cattail leaf fans.
In addition, there are round fans and folding fans: round fans are made of silk, with flowers and birds and ladies painted on them, folding fans are carved out of paper or bamboo, with poems painted on the fan surface and exquisite fan bones, and some fan pendants. Beauty is beauty, but these two kinds of fans are exquisite and elegant, showing elegance and elegance, which is very inconsistent with the identity of villagers and very impractical. They are only suitable for literati in traditional Chinese opera.
For a long time, fans have been a necessity in rural summer. It was not until the appearance of electric fans in the 1980 s that they slowly retired, but their vitality was tenacious. Until the popularity of air conditioning today, it still occupies a place in life.
In the afternoon air, there was a harsh "snapping" sound, which was the sound of wooden blocks banging on wooden boxes. It is rhythmic and powerful, but it is by no means music, but when the children hear it, they seem to hear the most beautiful music in the world-the popsicle vendor is coming!
As a result, the children each made 18 efforts to make the foam soft and hard, and persuaded the adults at home to buy themselves a popsicle. A few cents of popsicles are not delicious every day, especially in such a hot day!
The toothpaste skin collected the day before yesterday has been eaten by popsicles; The money for selling chicken feathers the day before yesterday has also been replaced with popsicles yesterday; What else can be changed today? How to make up an excuse to buy another one in another way, greedy for the two children next door ...
If you are not satisfied, it is inevitable to impress adults by crying; Adults who don't buy it use angry voices to reprimand and deal with that little scheming and break that little abacus.
After several noisy times, the quiet village became lively: the men hurried to work underground, the women seized the midnight snack, and the children who had finished eating popsicles finally stopped.
The burning sun has not completely collected its last residual heat, and the sunset glow is red in the west. The children have made an appointment at five or six o'clock, clamoring for a bath at the bridge entrance. This scorching sun has been baking for a whole day, and who doesn't want to jump in and wash away the dust, sweat and irritability of the day when they see this cool and crystal-clear river?
Children in Shuicun learn to swim and float at the age of four or five under the guidance of adults. By the age of ten, they will have an aquatic specialty, where dogs can crawl, float and snorkel, and play naked in the river like little loaches.
After a hard day's work, men also come to play with the children to arouse a childlike innocence and tell them water-related knowledge, stories and precautions. Looking at little ass's ups and downs in the water, the little arms and calves splashed with water, and the men seemed to see themselves in those days, with a smile on their faces.
The women in Water Town are not strictly bound by morality. Although they are ashamed to go into the water with men, who doesn't want to enjoy the coolness and comfort? So they wait for men and children to play enough and go back to the house, and then take advantage of the twilight to soak in the water to wash, otherwise how can we say that Jiangnan women are watery? Despite years of hard work, snow-white skin and beautiful eyes, the woman who bathed showed the beauty of the water town in her dream.
Luffa soup, sliced melon, sliced pumpkin, sliced cucumber ... rural night meals are inseparable from all kinds of melons and fruits, which can be called "people who eat melons"! The cool summer night makes people reluctant to go, so they moved the small dining table to the Dojo and put the benches together to form a simple dining table. The family sat together, and the neighbors came to gather together for a table. The food was simple and there was little soup. Because of this harmonious atmosphere, everyone likes to eat.
Current affairs and politics, the national economy and people's livelihood, although rural people are making profits for the people, they never leave home at the dinner table. When talking about prosperity, it is often accompanied by a little wine to make the wine flourish and the wind healthier. There is no lack of insight when you talk to me. On the moon, the willow shoots flew south, cutting off the debris, so the theme of talking about heaven moved to myths and legends. At this time, children are often allowed to plug in the wings of imagination and blurt out 100 thousand why, which leads them to be obsessed with the world and this unsolved mystery.
The Tianhe River is slanting, the moon is sinking in the west, and people's gossip is becoming scarce. During the mixing period, the sound of cattail leaf fans hitting mosquitoes is endless. Tan Xing disappeared, and the children entered the dream with all kinds of curiosity to continue their exploration.
The stars are near every household, the sky is solemn and solemn, and the summer in the countryside is drunk in peace!
