Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 15 Bracelet
"Sit down! Sit down!" Li Mei warmly greeted the two, and asked by the way, "What have you two been doing recently?"

"Hey, what can I do? Why don't I just go from one house to another and play around!" Li Hong curled her lips and said a little bored.

"By the way! It's not that you brought back some fun things from your aunt's house, let's take them out and have a look!" Li Hong remembered her purpose of coming here, her eyes were bright now, and she looked at Li Mei with longing .

Li Shaoyun looked at Li Hong and then at Li Mei. He felt novel about the way these children communicate with each other in this era. They seemed to have no intentions. They said whatever they wanted, simple and direct and a little rough.

Unlike the children of later generations, who were impacted by the Internet, they all looked like villains at a young age. Even if they wanted to be teased, they might only get a blank stare, right?

But having said that, she was only in her twenties before she came here. She was busy with her studies before, and then she was busy looking for a job, because she knew that she could only rely on herself, and basically had no free time in her life, such as teasing children. It seems that she is separated from her by a few galaxies.

Except when she was a child, she didn't know how long she hadn't dealt with children!

After passing through, my younger brother is also cute and cute. Now communicating with these girls who look similar to me, it feels... so strange.

Li Mei was not pretentious, she stood up generously, ready to get things, "Wait! Come right away."

That way, it looks a little proud.

Li Shaoyun became a little curious, what did he bring back?
Li Mei went there for a while and then came out with a bag of things in her hand, "Here!"

Li Hong immediately went over to have a look, and Li Shaoyun followed, he couldn't seem out of place, could he?

Li Hong stretched out his hand to open the small fabric bag, and Li Shaoyun took a look at the contents inside, what is this?
I saw a string of small particles inside the bag, which looked like a bracelet?

"What is this?" Li Shaoyun couldn't help asking Li Mei curiously.

"This one, haven't you seen it?" Li Mei was a little proud, "Don't you know? This is an empty rice bracelet."

Empty rice?Li Shaoyun was a little confused.

After listening to Li Mei's talk for a long time, I realized what this thing is. It turned out to be made of barley and rice skewers?

As for why it is called such a name, it seems that the barley is picked when it is not yet ripe, and it is punched and threaded when it is half dry. After drying, it is light and has no weight, and it is empty, so it is called empty rice.

Li Shaoyun: "..."

Said he heard it for the first time.

Watching Li Hong and Li Mei holding those skewers with great interest, discussing which skewers look better and which skewers are better.

Li Shaoyun: ...

Aren't these things all the same?Don't you know how to appreciate it yourself?

And from the perspective of Li Shaoyun's later generations, this barley bracelet is really a bit rough.

It seems that the barley and rice are punched and strung together with cotton ropes, and the two ends are knotted again, and it is done!
Compared with the various styles and categories of bracelets that can be found in small physical stores and online stores in later generations, it is really a bit shabby.

Are the two girls talking about this kind of bracelet happily and enthusiastically?

Li Shaoyun...was a little dazed.

But it is understandable when you think about it in this era. The supplies are poor, and it has only been a few years since I have had a full stomach.

It’s good to have something like a bracelet, but do you want to pay attention to style, category, and quality?That was also later.

Li Shaoyun couldn't say anything, so he just sat and watched the two girls chatting.

"Hey! Why don't you come and see it? Which one is better? Li Mei also said to give it to us!" Li Hong looked at Li Shaoyun, expressing dissatisfaction with her being out of group.

Li Shaoyun smiled, "I don't think they are all the same! They are all the same! They are all pretty."

In fact, she doesn't really want it, and she is not really a little girl who loves beauty at this age, but Li Mei kindly wants to give it to her, so she can only express her gratitude.

"Why doesn't anyone grow barley in our place?"

Listening to the two girls chatting on twitter, I really wanted to yawn, and Li Shaoyun asked her doubts.

Alas, I am really an old cucumber, and a layer of green paint does not mean that the inner core is also a small tender melon.

But Li Mei couldn't tell the reason, she just said a few words and then changed the topic again, continuing to chat with Li Hong about bracelets.

Finally, the two girls finally had their fun. Li Hong took two skewers from it, and also picked two skewers for Li Shaoyun. After making an appointment to watch TV at night, she reluctantly said goodbye and left Li Mei's yard.

"Are you going to watch TV in the afternoon?" Li Hong asked while walking on the road.

"Ah? Didn't you say you only watch it at night?" Li Shaoyun said.

"Oh! The TV came back in the middle of the afternoon, let's go and have a look! I haven't seen what a TV looks like before!" Li Hong's eyes sparkled excitedly.

Li Shaoyun: "...Let me see the situation! I don't know if I can walk away."

"What's the matter? Isn't your grandma at home? What's wrong with you?" Li Hong pouted.

Li Shaoyun smiled. She also knows that children of this age must be playful, and they must hold on to the opportunity to be lazy, but although she is ten years old on the outside, she is an adult on the inside, no matter how hard she pretends to be .

Moreover, the Li family's parents have worked so hard to make money, so she is too embarrassed to steal and play tricks in the family.

We will do what we can, and we can't really act like ten-year-old children, thinking about playing all day long!

That would make her feel awkward.

Moreover, doesn't she still have a second generation dream!
You can't wait with your hands in your hands, can you?

Seeing that Li Hong was going to use the trick of entanglement again, Li Shaoyun hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go when the TV comes back."

Satisfied, Li Hong took her two bracelets and went home.

Looking at the time, it's almost time to make lunch.

There is no clock at home, let alone a mobile phone. To tell the time, I can only tell the time by looking at the sun.

It is often cloudy for several days in winter, and it is really a technical job to tell the time.

However, after so many days, Li Shaoyun can basically distinguish the approximate time, which is a bit proud to say!
Entering the courtyard gate, sure enough, the radio hanging on the pillar under the eaves had already started broadcasting news.

One end of this thing is connected with a thread, and the other end extends into the mud. The thing hanging on the stigma is flat, round, small and exquisite, with a square of eight or nine centimeters, and it really looks a bit like a sunflower!

Li Shaoyun, a scumbag, didn't understand the reason, but it rang at noon on time every day.

Sometimes it broadcasts some news from governments at all levels, ranging from national economic development and international situation, to township and township announcements. It really covers everything.

Usually as soon as it rings, it's almost time to make lunch too!

The door of the main room was open, and the door of grandma's room was also half-closed. It seemed that the old couple did not go out to visit today.

In the countryside of this era, if there are people in the family, the four doors are generally open, and the doors are rarely closed.Even if you go out, if you don't go far, you just have to cover the door, lock it or something.

Li Shaoyun yelled, and when he heard grandma answering in the room, he knew that grandma and grandpa were at home.
