1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 377 Zhu Lin was injured by a popsicle
After taking care of Little October's wounds, he started to play in the yard again.

"Dad, go buy ice cream quickly. I want to eat it so much. People say eating ice cream can... make me feel better faster."

Luo Tao rolled his eyes upward when he heard what he said. I believe you.

Zhu Lin was teaching the little girl to walk, and was also amused by Xiao October's words.

"Go quickly and buy more. I'm getting restless today. We need to prepare more at home."

This is the time when the weather is about to get hot, but it is also a time of highs and lows. When farming was busy a few days ago, the weather was extremely hot.

It has been cloudy these past few days, and the temperature has dropped a lot.

Sellers selling popsicles also started walking around the streets.It's not a very good day today, and it's hard to see them in the alley.They also watch the weather while eating.

If you want to buy popsicles today, you have to go to Huguosi Street and Xinjiekou, which are not too far from home.

Even these two places can't guarantee that they will stock up at this time of year.

Luo Tao was happy when he looked at Xiaoyue Yue's dazzling eyes. "Okay, you three just get together!"

Pushing the car and walking out, Xiao October was not worried about Luo Tao going out alone, so he held the back seat of the car with his little hand.

The meaning is self-evident, I definitely want to go along with it.

"Okay, don't hold me back, I'll take you with me. Snack guy, open the door quickly."

When he heard that Luo Tao was going to take him there, he ran to open the door.

"Woo... woo!"

The door opened, and he leaned his back against it to prevent it from coming back.

When Luo Tao passed by with a cart, he was very considerate and helped him lift it.

Luo Tao carried the car down the two steps, then called Xiao October to come over, held him and sat him on the [-] pole in front.

Without any protection in the back seat, it is best to seat children in the front.

"Caught."

Push the handlebars with both hands, put one foot on the pedal and push it halfway, put the other foot on tiptoe to exert force, wait for the car to slide forward for a certain distance, then turn over and pick up your crotch.

This is the quality of an experienced driver.

……

We first arrived at Gokokuji Street and found out that they hadn’t entered yet and had to wait until the weather got hotter.

This shop is a non-staple food store. On hot days, they also make some popsicles to sell as a side job.

Since his family did not buy a refrigerator, the popsicle business was done when it was hot, so that he could ensure that the goods he received in one day could be sold on the same day.

Because his family didn't buy a refrigerator, Luo Tao always went to Zhengyangmen to buy some cold dishes in the summer.

Just to eat and rest assured, he is cheap, but does Luo Tao look like those two small money people?

In order to let Little October eat popsicles, Luo Tao took him directly to Xidan and went into a shopping mall to buy them.

I bought a total of thirty or forty sticks of each variety and packed them in two plastic bags.

Plastic bags entered our country in the mid-to-late 60s. At that time, plastic bags were still a luxury product.

Even in the 80s, food was not widely available, and most people would carry their own vegetable baskets when buying groceries.

This is a good habit, very environmentally friendly and worth promoting.

Luo Tao put two bags of popsicles in the basket in front of the car. At this time, Little October took one out unceremoniously, unwrapped the simple packaging and started sucking.

Along the way, the popsicle in his hand dripped all the way, half eaten and half melted.

When he got home, he was still sucking on the bare popsicle and was reluctant to throw it away. "Don't be embarrassed, kid. Come on, take this bag."

He was so proud of this job that his eyes almost disappeared when he smiled.

Just as he was about to throw away the popsicle in his hand, Luo Tao quickly stopped him from this uncivilized behavior.

"Don't litter. Save this little stick. If you save more, daddy will teach you a game."

He didn't believe that this little stick could play any other games. As the saying goes: If you don't understand, just ask.

"Dad, what game are you playing? Is it fun? Is hide-and-seek fun?"

"It's very fun. Xiaobao and the others have never played before. When daddy teaches you, you can teach them."

"Okay!"

This game of throwing sticks is the least expensive. It is not only the memory of those born in the [-]s, but also the memory of Luo Tao, the child born in the [-]s.

Nowadays, most popsicle stick games are replaced by popsicle sticks. When Luo Tao played this game when he was a child, he always used small wooden sticks that he picked up on the street. The best thing is to use small bamboo pieces.

More than a dozen or twenty... Hold one in the palm of your hand, knock it lightly or heavily on the ground, and find a stick to stir up other sticks to see small or large blooms.

When picking this stick, you can keep going without touching other sticks until you touch other sticks, and that's the end.

The winner is determined by who has more sticks in his hand at the end. The reward for the winning side is nothing else but these sticks.

Although these wooden sticks are inconspicuous, they have accompanied the childhoods of several generations.

This game costs nothing like picking up stones, another game. These two games are widely spread.

"came back."

When Zhu Lin saw the two men coming back one after another, he stood up and asked. He saw that they both had a bag in their hands.

"Hey! Why did you buy so much? Our refrigerator may not fit in it."

"It's okay, I can't put it down, I'll buy another one tomorrow."

Luo Tao's Versailles scene.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Given this condition, if it is not used now, it may not be useful in a few years.

"You have the most money." Zhu Lin glanced at Luo Tao and said with a smile, "What flavors did you buy?"

When Little October saw Zhu Lin rummaging through to find her favorite flavor, he was particularly filial. He took a bite of the popsicle he had just untied and stood on tiptoe to give it to Zhu Lin.

"Mom, try this. It's delicious. Here it is."

Zhu Lin was also moved by his move, so he quickly took it over and said to him with a smile: "Thank you, dear son. Much better than your father."

Little October turned around and started looking through the bag of popsicles that Luo Tao was carrying. After searching for a while, he didn't see the ones he just ate on the road.

He asked Luo Tao, "Dad, why didn't you buy popsicles with milk? These are not delicious."

The child's words were too hurtful. When Luo Tao saw him giving the popsicle to Zhu Lin, he still had a little jealousy in his heart, but now it can be said that it is gone.

I just want to laugh for no reason.

Seeing Zhu Lin's murderous eyes, he could only laugh wildly in his heart to express his happiness.

"Why not?" After rummaging through the bag a few times, he found a milk popsicle that was different from the one he was eating. "Here, this one is too."

He took it and found a chair by himself, carefully climbed up and enjoyed it quietly alone, not caring at all about his mother's hurt heart.

"Here, you eat this, and I'll eat this old popsicle."
