By mid-to-late May, another batch of red scarves will be launched. The class teacher announced the list of students who joined the team in public, and there is still no Luli.

The little child felt wronged, but fortunately, this period was not long. The day was getting longer and longer, and the children had more time to have fun. The weather was getting hotter and there were more ways for children to play. However, one of them was that Luli couldn't participate, that was swimming.

It is hard to say whether Luli can swim. If he doesn't know, he can swim in the water for a few laps; if he says he can, he will not step on the water first, and he will not breathe. He will always hold his head on the water like a clumsy duck, swaying his limbs in panic in the water. His movements are inconsistent and his swimming posture are simply unparalleled!

There are two public swimming pools in Tianjin, called the First and Second Swimming Pools, which require a formal swimming permit to enter. The tickets are expensive. Children think there are too many people there and are afraid of spending money. Those who like to swim can only go to a spontaneously organized swimming area. In Tianjin, there are two such places, namely the Water Park and the Haihe River. Among them, Haihe River is the first priority, because the water park is a bit far away after all.

Among the children in the alley, dogs are the best swimming, Liu Gan is the second, and Daxin is the second. As for Lu Li, he can't even stick to the top ten. When he goes down the river to swim, all the children don't like to take him there. One more of him is simply a burden; but Lu Li can't swim, so he insists on following him and begging others for a long time before they can get a grand amnesty and take him to go there.

It is said that among all the children in Wangjia Hutong, He Jun, who swam the best in the No. 2 courtyard, has obtained the qualification certificate for the deep water area of ​​the swimming pool. But I don’t know whether it is true or not. He Jun can’t play with them, and no one dares to knock on the door of No. 2 courtyard to ask what happened. I heard that He Jun’s grandfather likes to eat children the most. If anyone dares to run in, he will definitely be caught and eaten!

Naturally, parents did not allow their children to swim in the Haihe River. These little guys had to make up lies. Fortunately, they usually don’t have homes all day long. The parents don’t know where they go, and they don’t care about it. So on this day, Liu Gan, Gou Li, Li Xin, Zhang Li, Dong Yuqiang, Ding Cong, Ding Ming, and Lu Li formed a team and set off from home in a mighty way to Haihe River. When they passed by Wangjia Hutong, they met two classmates, one named Yuan Bin and the other named Gong Jing, who asked about where to go, and the two joined in.

A group of ten children walked along the river and crossed the Bei'an Bridge. There were already children swimming in the river. The boys ignored them, took off their clothes and put them aside, and did not change their swimming trunks. They rushed into the water with their bare little butts. The girls couldn't do it anymore, and they wanted to find a place where no one was, and changed into swimsuits. Women's swimsuits were mostly made of cloth, with folds from top to bottom, covering their chests and backs tightly.

Lu Li always wants to learn swimming, but when children learn to swim, they must first be led by parents in the water, and then they have the courage to go into the water, not afraid of drinking water or choking water, so that they can learn it. The most fundamental one is that parents must take care of them, but this is something Lu Li absolutely does not have! My uncle is busy with work and feels sorry for his younger sister's posthumous child. He never takes him to the river. When he is a few years older, he wants to learn, but he has missed the best opportunity. He went into the water with a few times, and his eyes turned pale, and he was only satisfied with falling into the water without sinking. As for whether he can learn it, he doesn't care.

Seeing Liu Gan'er and his wife swimming farther and farther, almost reaching the other side, he could not even compare with the two girls. The boy's self-esteem broke out and he plucked up his courage and walked towards the center of the river. After a while, the water had reached his chin. He tried to tiptoe under his feet, took a deep breath, and his body rushed upwards, and his limbs were slashing, like the same duck, he swam with his head raised and he swam.

His movements were completely irregular, and he lost his strength very quickly, swimming at least ten meters. He felt his chest pounding and wanted to land on the ground and stand firmly, but he could not reach the bottom of the water. He was scared in his heart, the turbid air rose, and his body sank involuntarily. Now he was even more scared, "Gudong! Gudong!" He drank two sips of water in a row.

He struggled to poke his head out, but now he no longer had the strength to raise his head and see the scenery around him. He seemed to hear someone shouting in his ears, but he couldn't tell. He opened his mouth and drank a few sips of water. He swam over by his side and put his arm, allowing him to stand in the water. Only then did he realize that he had already fluttered to the near side of the shore, the water was only as deep as his waist.

Luli was stunned and wiped the water from his head hard. Looking back, it turned out to be Gong Jing. He was wearing a purple swimsuit and a plastic swimming cap on his head. He turned his head to look at him, "You can't swim? Then why are you doing?"

Lu Li stuttered a few times, "Do you care?" He threw down anger, rushed to the water and sat naked beside his clothes, swearing to himself in his heart: I will never go into the water again in the future! It's so embarrassing!

Gong Jing looked at his bare back and spat in shame, turned her head and swam into the water.

For Gou Li and others, this was a rare enjoyment. They were tired of swimming, and their limbs were lying on the river surface with their limbs spread out, moving along the water like a river float, and had enough rest. When they heard the sound of the whistle of the organic boat upstream, Liu Ganer was overjoyed. She laughed and rowed her limbs and swam to the riverside, but she did not go ashore, but was waiting in the center of the river, waiting for the ship to pass by, and grabbed the side help of the ship with both hands, and was carried by the ship, heading downstream. The boat was about 100 meters away, and several children let go of their hands, jumped back into the water, faced the waves, and swam back to their original departure location. The movement of this day came to an end.

Liu Gan'er hung the water droplets on her body, put on her shorts, took out her clothes, touched them from her pocket, and took out a box of cigarettes. It was a battle card. This kind of cigarette was one cent per box. If you buy it alone, it would be one cent per piece. In other words, buying a box could be a cent cheaper.

He pulled out a few and distributed them to the surroundings. Yuan Bin and Daxin each took them and lit them with matches. But Gou Li looked at Lu Li, and saw him waving his hand and shaking his head, he hurriedly said, "I won't suck."

Liu Gan'er didn't force herself and put the remaining cigarettes back in, "Where will you go later?" Yuan Bin asked.

"Get the pair of Pas card!" Liu Gan'er said loudly, smoking a cigarette. (Note 1)

"Okay." Luli agreed, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he thought of a terrible idea, "Get...money, I...buy...buy...buy...go."

"Go together?" Daxin said.

"Small...small care!"

Although Luli was young, he was recognized as the king of children in Wangjia Hutong. Seeing him staring at him, others dared not say much, so he raised a dime and handed it to him, "Dog... stand, and... I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I!"

"Oh." Dog immediately responded, put on his clothes and chased after him.

The two of them went home along the river, but did not turn directly from the department store to Wangjia Hutong. Instead, they deliberately went around and headed straight to the Liang family. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they shouted, "Liang...xin, Liang...xin!"

Liang Xin poked her head timidly and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Come out... and take you...you play."

Liang Xin is a petty person, and only her sister is there at home, so she doesn't want to coax herself to play. She was so happy when she heard him invite him on his own initiative. She didn't want to be cheated and walked out, "Where are you going to play?"

"Come here, I... tell you." Lu Li saw Liang Jing coming out behind his younger brother, quickly put away his thief smile, nodded very properly, saying hello to the other party. "It's you? What are you here to do?"

"Nothing..." Lu Li said lies and said slowly, "Take Liang Xin... out for fun."

Liang Jing looked at him and felt that this child was not like a good person, "Forget it, my Xiaoxin won't go."

Before Lu Li could speak, Liang Xin was anxious first, "Second sister, let me go, please?"

Liang Jing couldn't resist her brother's plea and finally nodded, "Then, go, go early and come back soon." After that, he glared at Lu Li fiercely, the latter ignored her, pulled Liang Xin and left, "Let's go, take you... to play."

He led Liang Xin a few steps away from the alley group. There was a small shop on the street. Three children pushed the door open and walked around the store. Lu Li pulled Liang Xin's little hand to approach a counter. There were various goods placed in the glass counter. He pointed to a small bag with his hand, which was filled with red paper. "See... Have you seen it? This is called a Pass brand, do you remember?"

Liang Xin nodded, "Remember, Pas card."

"Yes. Wait a moment...you come and buy it, this is the money." He took out the money and put it in Liang Xin's hand, "Give it...it's fine, don't...get it."

Liang Xin has never received so much money since she was a child. She held it in her palm and did not dare to let go at all, "You... say it again?" Lu Li reminded him worriedly.

"I'll buy a Pass brand later."

"Yes." Lu Li smiled proudly, turned around and retreated with Gou Li. "Go..., we're waiting outside!"

Liang Xin turned around obediently and entered. The dog was confused and asked in confusion, "Xiaoxiao, what is that? Is it a Pass brand?"

Lu Li smiled, "Don't...Don't ask!" He raised his ears and listened inward. As expected, the saleswoman and Liang Xin quarreled, and the child was so aggrieved that he cried, "It's this Pass brand! It was the little brother who asked me to buy it, it's this Pass brand!"

"You kid, isn't this stupid? This is not poker!"

"It's the Pass brand!" No one could understand what the big and small chicken talked to the duck. Luli listened outside and laughed so hard!

Finally, Liang Xin wiped her tears and burst out from it, "Little brother, she won't give it to me."

Seeing Xiao Liangxin crying aggrievedly, Lu Li's tone came out and spitted at him, "You... are so stupid. You even buy a Pass brand... If you don't come, I won't take you to play. Go home!"

Liang Xin burst into tears with a 'wow', took Lu Li's hand and begged hard, "Little brother, take me to play, take me to play?"

"No...you play, get out of here, get out of here!" Luli glared at him, snatched the money from him, went in and bought a real deck of playing cards, and left with Dog Li.

After hearing Lu Liyu's story of playing with Liang Xin with showing off, everyone laughed! After laughing, Dong Yuqiang asked, "What is that thing for?"

"I don't... no, no, I don't know," Lu Li said honestly, "Anyway... always... all... see my sister and the others take them in the bathroom. Once I touched them, my uncle... aunt... mom... even said I'm here." Everyone laughed again!

In the evening, Liang Yan actually took Liang Xin to the Wu family again, "My brother cried for an afternoon..."

This time Luli was not afraid anymore. He asked himself that he had no responsibility for this matter; rolled his eyes and stammered, "What does this have to do with me??"

Liang Yan didn't know what happened in the afternoon. Her younger brother was still young and couldn't explain clearly. She just cried and wanted to play with Xiaoxiao brother. There was no way, so she had to lead him, "I didn't say it had something to do with you, but Xiaoxin wanted to play with you, so you... take him with you?"

"No...bring!"

Seeing that he refused flatly, Liang Xin pursed his mouth and was about to cry again. He thrust his sister hard, and was so scared that he endured the tears again. "Don't cry!" Liang Yan said in a low voice, "Xiaowei is your classmate, so you can take Xiaoxin to play?"

Wu Zhaodi and Wu Laidi didn't have much to say about the children. Seeing Liang Xinmeng's aggrieved look, he felt pitiful and wanted to persuade his younger brother a few words, but the two sisters hugged him since childhood. They knew his temper and never shed tears after being beaten. It can be seen that his nature is so hard; he opened his mouth aside and never made a sound.

Liang Yan begged several times, but Lu Li refused. There was no way. The brother and brother went back disappointed. Liang Xin kept looking back, hoping that the little brother could change his mind, but to his regret, Lu Li turned around and entered the yard and closed the door.

Wu Baokun and Yu Fang could hear clearly in the house. The couple looked at each other and shook their heads. When he also entered the house, he called his grandfather's foot wash water. Yu Fang asked in a strange tone, "I live not far away, so let's take him to play?"

Luli didn't say anything, just shook his head, "This child didn't offend you?"

"He...sister...sister sister...sister sister sister..."

"I know, his sister has sued you." Wu Lai also felt that his brother's heart was a little too hard, and he said angrily, "He didn't offend you again!"

Lu Li's tender face was filled with anger, and he raised his mouth and said nothing.

"Forget it, go to bed early." Wu Jihou washed his feet, put on his shoes, turned around and went to the cellar to sleep. Wu Baokun quickly followed, went down first, and laid the bed and folded the quilt for his father.
