Hey, do you want to play drums together?

The cicada singing in summer is the most tearing and lingering among trees, and it is the most obvious existence under the scorching sun. In the evening, sitting in the south of the village facing the moonlight, enjoying the cool, a cane chair, a grass fan, the bright moon in the sky, the breeze singing cicadas, swaying from side to side in laughter. Tired of playing, a group of partners play games and fight together, which is also a great happiness in life.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen such a picture for a long time, which makes people miss it.

Suddenly this summer, in addition to the wrapped sweat, I iced a cup of coke and watermelon, and the entrance was refreshing. Although lying in an air-conditioned room, I am at leisure, but compared with the past, summer is really less fun.

In this summer, there is no soul.

When I was a child, I often swam naked and jumped into the river. All the agitation and fierceness were calmed down, and I was shrouded in the coolness of the clear river in my hometown.

On our side, swimming has two expressions:

First, it's called "drum ball".

The second is to extend the index finger and middle finger, yes, scissorhands, face down, and dance with each other. A discerning person can tell at a glance that he is asking you to go swimming.

It's been 20 years. At that time, the pond was relatively clean, and the building was only painted with the red slogan "Have fewer healthy children and live a happy life". If you want to swim, put down your job and ask a few people. Don't go far, it's in the river in front of your house. It's better to have an adult around, throw a big tire into the middle of the river, jump down, then take a dog plane, grab the thrown tire like a straw, climb up and lie on it.

Swimming used to be free, but now it costs a lot of money and requires various tools;

The water used to look wild, but it was cool to swim. Now the swimming water looks clean, but it is full of various flavors.

I used to lie on the dock after swimming to bask in the sun and blow the wind, but now I have to rush to the toilet to take a bath after swimming;

Anyone who used to swim together knows that the swimming pool is now a pot of stew, so it is no wonder that it is called "dumplings".

I like summer. I miss the bright river in my hometown in summer and the teenagers fluttering in the water together. It was summer, and one day when I returned to my hometown, I suddenly found that all the old people who had enjoyed the cool together had "gone" one by one, and their parents were old, and the river was no longer clear, and the children did not recognize them.

Once a teenager, where is he now, leaving him alone to chase by the river.

Regret? Of course it's a pity.

Nowadays, materialistic desires lead to everything in summer, all kinds of melons, all kinds of thirst-quenching refrigeration equipment, working in air-conditioned offices from sunrise to sunset, but the simplest happiness in summer is gone.

Every time I think about it, I don't expect the arrival of the summer with four seasons changing every year. Because it is difficult to find someone to play with drums and balls now, everyone is afraid of the heat and stays at home. From the previous "water three times a day" to the current "water once every three months", there is really no love this summer.

If one day, I meet you again in the village, and it's summer, I will ask you: Hey, do you want to play with drums?
