Do you remember? In those years, we rode the "28 bar" bicycle together, combed our hair with a grate, carried our playmates on a board car, slept on the dumpling bed, played with the hoop, and watched the corn threshing machine.
In those years, we didn't have mobile phones, computers, or the Internet, but we had the most innocent childhood and the happiest time. In those years, we experienced the ups and downs of reform and opening up, witnessed the development of the motherland, and felt the changes of the times.
Now, we have entered middle age, maybe we have our own family, career, children, or maybe we are still running for life, fighting for our ideals, and worrying about the future.
Our lives are completely different from those years, and we may not have remembered those years for a long time, but those years, those people, and those things will always be in our hearts.
Today, the author is going to take you back to those years, to those things that we used to be familiar with, to see if you still remember the objects of your childhood.
At that time, bicycles were our most important means of transportation and our most precious possession. At that time, the bicycle was not just a car, but a symbol, an emotion. At that time, there were many brands of bicycles, but the most famous, the most popular, and the most desirable was the "28 big bar".
A "28-bar" bicycle refers to a bicycle with two stout horizontal bars on the frame and a wheel diameter of 28 inches. This bicycle was first produced by Shanghai Yongan Bicycle Factory in 1958, and was later imitated by other manufacturers and became the most popular bicycle style at that time.
This bike is durable, lightweight and flexible, making it suitable for all road conditions and for all kinds of people. Whether it is going to work, going to school, traveling, traveling, dating, entertainment, or sports, you can ride the "28 bar" bicycle, enjoy the thrill of galloping, and feel the fun of freedom.
At that time, owning a "28 bar" bicycle, the people around me would also cast very envious eyes. At that time, we would decorate our "28 bar" bikes in various ways, such as putting colorful stickers and hanging fluttering ribbons to make our "28 bar" bikes unique.
Have you ever heard of a person who has lice on his head? But in the fifties and sixties, many girls with thick hair would have lice on their heads, and they would also be infected.
At that time, the tool we used to clean our hair was the grate, and we picked up the grate and combed it through the hair, and the hair would be very smooth.
The grate is usually made of bamboo or wood and has a row of fine teeth that can effectively remove dust, dandruff, lice and other debris from the hair, while also massaging the scalp to promote blood circulation and enhance the shine and elasticity of the hair.
At that time, we would all use a grate to comb our hair neatly, smoothly and shiny, so that we would look clean and fresh, and make us feel comfortable and happy.
And the grate has also become our close partner.
Do you remember? At that time, we didn't have as many toys as they do now, so fancy, so high-tech. Our toys are often made by ourselves or found from things around us.
But toys are simple, but they keep us entertained and entertained. One of the most memorable is the board car.
A board car is a simple vehicle made up of wooden planks and wheels, which can be used to carry people or things, and can also be used for play or competition. The method of making a board car is very simple, all you need is a rectangular wooden board, two wooden sticks of different lengths, four old bicycle wheels, some nails and rope to assemble a board car.
The driving method of the board car is also very simple, only a rope is needed, and it is tied to a short wooden stick in front of it, and you can pull the rope by hand to control the direction of the board car.
The speed of the cart depends on the long wooden stick behind it, that is, the pusher of the cart, he can push the cart hard to make the cart move forward quickly, or he can brake the cart with his feet to stop or slow down.
Wasn't the board car of the time more fun than the seesaw of today?
The dumpling bed is a kind of bed transformed from a dumpling machine, which can be used to make dumplings and can also be used for sleeping. A dumpling machine, a machine used to make dumplings, usually made of iron sheets or wooden boards, has a rectangular box with a roller with many small holes in it to squeeze the dough into dumplings.
The machine has a handle at one end that can be used to turn the drum and an outlet at the other end that can be used to collect the dumplings. The production method of the dumpling machine is very simple, you only need some waste materials, and you can make a dumpling machine by yourself.
And we only need to prepare the dough, put it in the box of the dumpling machine, and then turn the handle vigorously, and we can see the dumplings flying out of the exit, falling into the basin, and then boiling them with boiling water, and you can eat a bowl of hot dumplings.
Not to mention the fifties and sixties, in our post-90s childhood, rolling hoops was also one of the toys that we often played. A rolling hoop is a toy made up of an iron hoop and an iron rod that can be used to roll and also to play or compete.
An iron hoop, which is a round iron object, usually taken from an old bicycle wheel or other scrap metal object, comes in different sizes and thicknesses and can be chosen according to one's preference.
An iron rod is a long strip of iron object, usually made from old iron wire or other scrap metal objects, and comes in different lengths and thicknesses that can be adjusted according to one's needs.
The production method of rolling hoops is very simple, you only need to put the hoop on the iron rod, and you can use the iron rod to push the hoop to make the hoop roll. At that time, we used the iron rod to control the direction and speed of the hoop, so that the hoop could roll along the route we wanted, and we could also make the hoop make various patterns and movements.
At that time, our agriculture was not as developed as it is now, and it was often done by human or animal power, or assisted by some simple machinery. One of the most special and nostalgic is the corn thresher.
A corn thresher is a machine used to remove the corn kernels from the ears of corn, usually made of iron sheets or wooden boards, and has a cylindrical body with a rotating shaft inside and many sharp nails on it that scrape the kernels off the ears of corn.
The corn thresher has an inlet at one end that can be used to put in the ears of corn and an outlet at the other end that can be used to drain the kernels and husks.
Time flies, and the things of the fifties and sixties are simple, but full of memories, full of nostalgia for our childhood. So what do you remember from that era?
