The amygdala of childhood in the eighties

Now in the summer fruit, in addition to watermelon, peaches are the best sold. When I was a child, apricot sellers were everywhere, no less than peaches.

The apricot is not very easy to put, after two or three days, it will be soft and can not be eaten. Green apricots are also easy to count, and it is best to eat them when they are yellow and still hard. Breaking the apricot by hand, dividing it into two pieces and putting it in your mouth is a great pleasure. And the apricot core we will keep, some will smash the apricot core open and eat the nuts inside, while we children keep the apricot core for play.

Playing apricot kernels is a game we often do. Several people can play together. Everyone took out their own apricot cores and mixed them together, and people sprinkled the apricot cores on the ground in the order of stone scissors cloth, selected two apricot cores, drew a line in the middle with their fingers, and then used their fingers to play one of the apricot cores. If two apricot cores touch each other, take the two apricot cores away and choose other apricot cores to play. If the two selected apricot cores do not touch or encounter other apricot cores, it is considered a failure and another person continues. See who takes the most of the apricot cores in the end is the winner.

The apricot core can last in the hand for a period of time, and finally the apricot core can be planted in the ground to grow new almond trees in the future. Of course, it will be until the apricot tree grows tall and bears the fruit of the apricot, I don't know how many years later.
