Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 26 Jumping rubber bands

 The open space outside the classroom is full of children playing.

 Groups of boys lie on the ground bouncing glass balls, and there are always a lot of people squatting and watching beside each one.

There are other boys taking cards. The hard cards with patterns are about the size of playing cards. The ones with patterns are on the front and the ones without patterns are on the reverse. The rule is that one boy plays a card, and then "scissors, rock, paper" determines the order in which the cards are played. Whoever flips the front card over and turns it tail wins a card.

 This game is very popular among boys, and its popularity is not lower than that of bouncing marbles.

 The bulging pockets of boys are usually half filled with glass **** and half filled with colorful cards. What these two games have in common is that they both have to squat on the ground.

There was no concrete floor at that time, and dust was usually flying everywhere when playing. How many boys could keep it clean? At first glance, it is really a pile of mud children.

 The second most popular toy for boys is the spinning top.

 The colorful ones sold in the small shop are very beautiful. Boys who cannot afford them will find a wooden block and cut one with a knife.

It's nothing complicated, just the bottom end is sharpened and the top is rounded and equipped with a stronger rope. Wrap a rope around a few times and put it on the ground. Pull the rope and the top will spin. Then use the rope to twitch hard in the direction of rotation to make the top spin faster and faster. If you are good at playing, you can make the top spin for a long time. It won't stop either.

Dabao is a master at playing tops. The tops he made are not as colorful as those sold in small shops, but they spin equally well.

 The favorite thing for girls to play is naturally rubber band jumping.

The rubber band used at that time was a round elastic band with good elasticity. It was often used to make children's trousers and sewn into the waistband. It was very cheap and could be bought several feet long for a dime. Everyone bought long ones. Make a bundle and keep it at home. Many children cut off a section from a ball at home and tied it into a tight knot to become a rubber band that girls love to play with.

The biggest advantage of rubber band jumping is that it can be played by many people or small groups. Only three people can play. Two people can stand facing each other and hold the rubber band with their legs while the other person jumps. It doesn't matter if there are a lot of people. Four people can stretch the rubber bands into an irregular quadrilateral, and four more people can jump at the same time. It's very convenient when playing. You just need to take out a small ball of rubber bands from your pocket and untie them. In class, you can quickly collect them and wrap them into small **** before putting them in your pocket.

That girl doesn’t like rubber band jumping?

Zhou Xiaoyun is tall and has long legs and has always been an expert at rubber band jumping. Now he saw a bunch of people here and there doing rubber band jumping with great joy, and he became more interested. Wang Jingjing found two other girls in her class to play with Zhou Xiaoyun.

Of the two girls, one is a bit chubby, the nickname is Zhou Qianqian, and she is Zhou Xiaoyun's cousin who lives in the same village, and the other is shorter and darker, her nickname is Sun Min.

Zhou Xiaoyun has good grades and is the class monitor, making her a popular person in the eyes of the teacher. Secondly, she has a good temper, is capable, and is willing to teach her classmates. She is very popular in the class, and the girls are willing to play with her.

When Fat Niu and Xiao Doian heard that Zhou Xiaoyun was jumping rubber bands with them, they were very happy to run over. The two of them were vying to be in the same group as Zhou Xiaoyun. In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoyun who came up with the idea to make the decision in black and white.

 Four girls gathered in a circle and counted "one, two, three" and raised their palms together. The two with the palms facing up formed a group and the two with the backs of the hands facing up formed a group. As a result, Fat Niu and Zhou Xiaoyun both had their hands exposed, and Wang Jingjing and Xiao Bu Dian had their hands exposed. Fat Niu stood aside with Zhou Xiaoyun a little proudly.

 Which group will jump the rubber band first and have scissors, rock, and paper to decide.

Each group came out with one person. Fat Niu and Wang Jingjing stomped their feet and shook their hands vigorously. Fat Niu pulled out scissors and Wang Jingjing pulled out paper. Seeing that they had won, Fat Niu jumped up happily.

Wang Jingjing and Xiao Budian each held their rubber bands on their calves, while Fat Girl and Zhou Xiaoyun jumped up together. I really don’t know who invented the ballad-like formula that I recited while dancing. Fat girl usually can’t even memorize a few sentences of the text, but she recited the long formula from beginning to end without even a pause. She had to let it go People admire.

You can increase the position of the rubber band by jumping wrong while jumping and jumping. On the contrary, you can change the opponent to jump rubber bands.

 After a while, the fat girl danced wrongly.

Fat Niu was a little embarrassed and was afraid that Zhou Xiaoyun would complain about her. Of course Zhou Xiaoyun would not do such a thing, so she comforted Fat Niu and put on the rubber band to let Xiao Doian and Wang Jingjing dance.

 After playing for a long time, I heard the bell ringing "ding, ding, ding, ding". This was the bell for class. The children who were having fun reluctantly dispersed, packed up their belongings and rushed towards the classroom.

Wang Jingjing quickly wrapped her rubber band, her technique was astonishingly fast. In just a few seconds, the long rubber band turned into a small ball. She and Zhou Xiaoyun whispered: "Let's dance again later. Then you have to be with me to hear it."

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and agreed, and entered the classroom with Wang Jingjing.
