Woke up from a long and protracted dream, wanted to open my eyes hard, and it was in vain, the body and brain were not on the same line, struggling for half a day, finally able to open my eyes, sit up, my brain roared, half an hour of nap was good, more, tired.
The arm is printed with the signature of the cool mat, Fangzheng Xiaokai, the bamboo piece of the mat, is bought in ninety-nine years, more than twenty years, because the rope wearing the bamboo piece is easy to break, every few days I will sit cross-legged on the mat, with the fishing line through the bamboo piece, the buckle knot can not be knotted, dipped in spit is not easy to knot, the brain door out of a layer of sweat beads, for one hundred and thirty-five yuan, I poured out the life of this bamboo piece of cool mat, although sometimes get up, print a piece of the spine, even the legs are, I still measure the bamboo piece in the hot day and night.
This bamboo mat was bought in the commercial street of Shancheng in the second year of marriage, which was considered a luxury at that time, and my monthly salary was more than four hundred yuan at that time, and I bought a mat and bought a golden dragon electric fan, leaving only a few tens of yuan. The customs of the countryside are that the daughter who marries has a warm day (summer) in the first year must send bamboo mats and bamboo curtains by her mother's family. My mother borrowed money for me to go to school, and I got married after less than three years of work, where is the money to buy? And you can't let the ladies of the neighbors on the street laugh, their mouths, what can't be said! Burning fire and picking up ashes, can not leave the tongue, this is the original intention of buying mats and fans. Fans and cool mats are considered to be the big pieces of summer at home, a bunch of ladies on the street are gathered together to talk endlessly, they don't slip and throw words to drag me, summer nights I don't go to the street to sit, the gate building pinches the children in the night, I don't go out. I bought bamboo curtains, which were available on the doorstep of every household in the countryside. The countryside feeds chickens, dogs, pigs, summer heat, the yard is full of flies, plus the dry toilets of every household, what colorful connotations the flies bring, I am embarrassed to write here.
Bamboo curtains are quite difficult to lift, especially children, they will cry when they can't move, they are upset, sometimes they are lifted, he does not put it down for a long time, the flies overtake into the house, here to settle down, there to lick rice, diaphragm to respond to people. Later, I bought a plastic curtain, nailed it to the door frame, lifted it up, is afraid of the wind, a scrape, fluttering and shaking, flies see the needle in the seam, take advantage of the void, the curtain is that it is said, can block what!
Cool mats, fans, bamboo curtains, can not fall pu fan, I have always thought that the material of the pu fan is banana leaves, and later watch the TV series "Journey to the West" Sun Wukong borrowed the banana fan and the hand of the fan is not half related, I don't know what kind of plant leaves the fan comes from. The child was so hot that she couldn't sleep soundly, one moment turned over, the next moment I cried, I shook the fan to coax her to sleep, shook and shook, the eyelids fought, waiting for the fan to slip her hand, wake up, shake again, so repeatedly, I don't know when I fell asleep.
More than ten years have passed, in addition to this bamboo piece of cool mat, other summer props have disappeared without a trace, and summer has become less and less like summer. Go down to the river to bathe, climb trees to catch cicadas, watch the ants move before the heavy rain comes, a circle of people shaking a fan and telling the story that is close at hand... All became material, the opening words of a certain month and a certain day of a certain year. If summer... So summer...
