In the early 1990s, China also experienced ten years of reform and opening-up. The coastal cities are undergoing tremendous changes, people's lives are getting richer, and there are many commercial empires. But there are not so many changes in the central and western regions, and most people have been living habits for thousands of years!
in the south central part of China, there is such a village beside a small earth mountain. There are more than 100 families, including 3400 people. The village is to the south. There is a river in front of the village. To the west of the village is a small small earth mountain, with a height of 5600 meters. It belongs to the kind of small earth Hill extending from the main mountain range, extending thousands of meters to the West. Most of the villages are plain to the East, and the villages are built near the foot of the earth mountain. When the river water rises, it cannot be flooded. The small village is also the intersection of the mountain and plain. This small river in the village is the most valued and favorite one in the village. As the saying goes, we should depend on the mountain to feed the mountain and the water to feed the river. It's a good place to live where there are mountains and water
just after the summer of this year, a group of children came to the river in the south of the village, as usual. They were very thin. At this time, one of the older children said, "listen, everyone, who will swim to the other side of the river today, who will be the old one this week? Xiaofeng and chubby will be the judges by the river.". The speaker is your son. He is nine years old. He is the biggest one in the group. The rest of the kids are seven or eight years old. Xiaofeng is the youngest. He is just six years old this year. Xiaopang is also six years old. Xiaofeng and Xiaofeng are several months old. Although he can swim to the other side of the river, he needs to rest for a while before he can swim back. So he can't participate in the competition. He can only take a rest It's safe to swim in a shallow place because of this. When I came, my parents arranged it, because usually there are adults on the bank, otherwise I won't be able to take a bath in the river next time. At this time Xiaofeng and xiaopang nodded at the same time and agreed: "OK, hurry up then.". The five children who took part in the competition started to prepare. They consciously stood left and right to form a line. Xiaofeng then began to shout: "one, two, three, start...". Five children bow forward together, and their legs are forced to string out. They swim hard to the other side of the river. All of them are like swimming fish in the water. They swim freely and desperately. In a moment, someone will arrive at the other side. Then they turn back sharply and come back again. The river is not wide for a round trip, which is about 150 meters. The first one who comes back doesn't need to ask whether he is a little girl or not. Because such a competition will be compared every day in summer. When the children come back one after another, the young lady said: "hahaha How can I win every time? You don't say to work hard. " The second dog gasped and replied, "you Bigger than us, not as strong as you Of course not You're swimming fast. What's the big deal? I will surpass you when I grow up like you! " The children all laughed. Because I hear these two words every time I finish the contest. At this time, Xiao Feng came to your son and said, "boss, what are we going to do today?" Your son scratched his head and thought, "let's go up the mountain and catch the pheasant. Maybe we can catch the rabbit.". A few children listened to the theory of will. Xiao Feng didn't want to answer, "let's go back to the general store quickly." "Dog son also happily said:" then who should take salt this time "This time it's time to be a tiger," Xiao Feng replied. "Then you go home to get some drink, and I'll go back to get the knife, OK?" Said the son to another eight year old boy. Tiger thought for a while and said, "well, I'll go back now." "That's good. We'll gather at the west end of the village and take our dogs with us. Don't let them run around," said the son as he went ashore with us. Put on your clothes and run to your own home!
after less than ten minutes, Xiaofeng first came to the usual assembly place, but the other children haven't arrived. At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties passed by and saw Xiaofeng. Then he said with a smile, "Xiaofeng, you are always ready to play with other children on the mountain.". Xiaofeng looked at the middle-aged man and smiled, and replied, "well, uncle, I'm waiting for your children here. We have agreed to take the dog to catch the rabbit!" "Then pay attention, don't run too fast, don't fall on yourself, you know? I heard from your father that when school starts in autumn, I will take you to school. Then I will not only know how to play but also study hard. "Xiaofeng's second uncle said to Xiaofeng. "Well, I know. I want to go to school soon with your son and Huzi, ha ha...". "The child I went back. "Xiaofeng's second uncle touched Xiaofeng's head and went home with a smile. Xiaofeng is a little boy with round face, big eyes, long like his mother, only his nose is a little like his father, very cute, and very fond of laughter, so it is very popular with the village leaders. The second uncle who spoke with him was not Xiaofeng's second uncle. Xiaofeng's father is a primary school teacher. His father died when he graduated from junior high school. Because his grandfather was a teacher, his father took his grandfather's class and became a private teacher. In the mainland around the 1990s, there were many private teachers in every village and primary school, which cost more than 30 yuan a month. Now, although it is the early 1990s, the spring breeze of reform and opening-up has not yet come here, and everyone relies on the sky to eat, receives more food and lives in poverty. Of course, for our little friend Xiaofeng in the village where the traffic is blocked, there is even less feeling. Just eat enough and play well. I only occasionally listen to my father tell him stories from outside. Xiaofeng is also very happy today, because he knows that his partner will soon go up the mountain to catch wild animals. Although it's not easy to catch them, as long as we stand in a good position and don't let rabbits or pheasants run to the mountain, these dogs will be able to catch them. That is to say, there's delicious food again, and his mouth will drool when he thinks of it. "Xiaofeng, are you coming fast?" at this time, a boy named Zhu came running with his dog. "I just came here for a while," Xiao Feng replied. After a while, their children also came here. In addition to the fat family without dogs, seven children and six dogs began to go to the small Tushan in the west of the village. Of course, this time, the youngest son is the commander, who always makes him the eldest. He first gave an order: "don't let your dog bark, and we don't talk casually and be careful.". Of course, we all know what it means. Even these dogs don't have to wait for us to command when they are near the mountain. Just like the children bathing in the river, I don't know how many times, the dogs are training very well. Come to the hillside, choose a place that has not been here before and has a lot of grass, and then row up side by side to form a circular and solitary downward shape, which has a distance of 340 meters. The children also face the dogs at the foot of the mountain and stare at the grass in the forest in front of them. Because the earth mountain is not steep, but a very gentle slope. There are no large animals in the mountain, that is, chickens, birds and so on. So it is not dangerous for these children who play on the mountain all the year round. At this time, I saw that the little boy made a gesture to the two sides of Xiaofeng and Gouzi, and then Xiaofeng and Gouzi conveyed the same gesture to all the partners. After more than a minute, I only heard the sound of your son's "ouch" and began to stamp my feet and clap my hands. At the same time, seven children also shouted at the same time. I saw all the birds in the trees around the children waking up and flying around. At this time, I saw that the little boy The dog "Xiaohei" of the wind went into the grass one by one, and the dogs of other partners began to rush to the grass under the mountain to catch their prey. Because it's half of the hillside. The people and dogs under the hillside cover hundreds of meters. It's not difficult to catch a pheasant. The rest depends on how many can be caught by the dogs. These dogs are used to each other, and the children are just holding back The role of fear. Dogs know human nature. Even if they catch pheasants or rabbits, they won't eat them. They just bite them or press them on the ground with their front paws. Then they start barking and waiting for the little masters to catch them. A few children and a few dogs played the real cat and mouse game like this, although the children were small, but because they often came to the mountain, they were all as light as little monkeys. Soon Xiaofeng's dog and his son's dog held down a big pheasant together, and other children's dogs also caught a pheasant. In the meantime, three dogs originally surrounded a rabbit, but in a blink of an eye, it did get into the hole, and the dogs could only turn around the hole to work. There was no way! After we got together, the son spoke again: "it's not bad today. I caught two. I went to the pond in the ditch over there. Today's lunch is saved again, hehe.". Fortunately, everyone is not greedy, which is also a good habit of the mountain people. Tight knot is to find a large open space by the pond. As soon as the tree shelf is set up, your son begins to clean up two pheasants by the pond. After that, he uses a strip to pass through the middle and put it on the shelf. Huzi starts to support the dry trees that we picked up. Seven children sat in a circle around two fires. Although it was summer and they were tired for a while, everyone was smiling. After that, Huzi grabbed the branch of pheasant and turned it on the wooden shelf, putting a little salt on it, and said to everyone, "you're ok here. Go to find some mountain fruits nearby, or it's not interesting to eat only chicken later.". "Yes, you and I are going to pick fruit, but you can't steal it here," your son said. "When did I steal, or you roast chicken here. I'll go with them as soon as possible?" "Ha ha no need, I said to play, you and Xiao Feng continue to bake here, we go there to find fruit.". Then they went to find the mountain fruit. In fact, it's summer now. There are many fruit trees in the mountain. There are only so many people who come to the mountain, so the fruit is still very easy to find. In a short time, we used our own clothes to carry many pears, dates and other fruits back. Looking at the chicken baked by Huzi and Xiaofeng, they began to lick the corners of their mouths one by one. When you wash the fruit and come back, you can eat the chicken. Your son uses his knife to divide chicken pieces for everyone. We eat chicken and fruit at the same time. Then the bones we eat are the dogs' bones. They talk and laugh freely and are happy freely. Children don't understand the lives of adults and have no worries of adults.
let's eat some rice when we get home. It's over. Adults know that we don't need to talk about children. For the children in the city, they are strong in physical strength and survival in the wild. Xiaofeng is the same. Although he is only six years old, he has learned a lot from these big brothers. Of course, like most children, he is dull and has no personality. How can he change from ordinary to outstanding? What benefits will these children's Games bring to him as a child? And then again
