Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan usually go to the "Taoranting Swimming Pool" when they take Hong Jun to swim.
Because it is not only the closest to Furuli, but also right across the road from the east gate of Taoranting Park. It is also the largest and most famous swimming pool in Nancheng.
It’s just that the operation and management of swimming pools at that time were almost the same. The most obvious sign of the times was the application of the four words "diligence and frugality" to the extreme.
So although the "Taoranting Swimming Pool" is second to none in the city in terms of scale and internal facilities, its gate is extremely simple.
It is surrounded by lime pillars and black iron fences that are common in "sports". It doesn't reflect the status it deserves at all.
The ticket office is even more pitiful. It is located inside the main gate, in a small square of about 300 square meters, with a row of small windows on the left. Only some iron poles similar to horizontal bars were used on the ground to divide the crowd.
This created a special scene. At that time, the naughty boys who bought tickets would always sit on the iron pole and slide over bit by bit.
In addition, the inside of the window is very dark and inhumane.
People can only lower their heads to get tickets from the small window that only allows one hand to pass. Almost no one is lucky enough to have seen the face of the conductor. Thinking about it today, the scene could be introduced into a horror movie.
Fortunately, swimming tickets were very cheap. They were 10 cents at the time, five cents cheaper than movie tickets.
It is a piece of paper that is roughly made, white and translucent, and is only the size of an eraser. It also has your entry and exit times stamped in red.
This is because there was no round robin at that time, but one every two hours. After the venue was cleared, the staff did a good job of sanitation, and there was an hour's interval between the two games for those who were leaving for another game.
Since there are few swimming pools and there are many people, if you go there late, you will not be able to buy tickets, especially during the summer vacation. So if you want to swim, you have to go early. After buying the swimming ticket, you have to wait outside a fence. As soon as it starts, everyone rushes to run in.
This resulted in the small square being crowded with people holding inflated lifebuoys and swimming trunks everywhere before the show started.
Especially when the ticket inspector opens the door to let people in, the atmosphere there is simply hotter than the weather. There was a roar and a roar that could be heard even a mile away. Then they rushed in one after another.
But as Hong Yanwu, he never had to worry about buying tickets.
Because there are so many Nancheng playboys who come here to swim here, it is too easy to meet "acquaintances" who form gangs here. If someone comes in to help buy tickets, isn’t that just a matter of words?
Sometimes when people see them coming, they take the initiative to give them tickets. They didn't even need to say anything, and there were just a bunch of people rushing to "filial piety".
So the first thing they did when they arrived was not to buy tickets, but to chat with various "heroes", disperse cigarettes, and say hello.
Secondly, this territory was the territory at the door of "Dadehe"'s house. Moreover, the staff who watch the show here are also the masters selected from various units who are not loved by grandma and uncle.
There is a neighbor in "Dadehe" nicknamed "Lao Diao" who comes here every year to serve as patrol and ambulance leader. Hong Yanwu has long been familiar with him.
Whenever you come, just mention "Brother Diao" to the ticket inspector and they will go in. If that doesn't work, you can at most offer a cigarette and ask people to help spread the word, and "Lao Diao" will come out and take them in.
Just because they know people, they have privileges that others cannot enjoy.
For example, you can swim as long as you want without being restricted by the number of sessions. In addition, you can bring smoke and fire into the swimming pool. You can also take Hong Jun into the deep water area without having to check the deep water certificate.
That is the absolute privileged class, complete home court treatment. There was never a time when they were anxious and angry because they couldn't get in.
No, on the afternoon of July 29, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took Hong Jun to swim as usual.
When they arrived at the swimming pool, the two of them started to be polite and flirtatious with the respectable "players" and "players". I didn’t even think about buying a ticket.
But at this time, because of their interests, they had already become famous in the south. Even people with whom I have had problems in the past will no longer look at or caress about them. On the contrary, everyone regards it as an honor to be able to talk to them.
So before they even opened their mouths, someone took the initiative to send them three tickets. That's really a bit like the stars holding the moon.
Coincidentally, just as they were enjoying themselves and smoking the cigarettes offered by others, there was a sudden quarrel at the ticket booth. What's more, it can't but make people feel sad that someone in Binghuatou is competing for the last two swimming tickets in this game.
What does it mean that people have to die when comparing with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods?
Through this small microcosm, we can understand that unfairness is everywhere in this world. There are really few people who can be as worry-free and unrestrained as Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
Of course, according to our folk customs, as soon as someone starts a fight, the crowds of spectators will immediately surround the ticket booth.
Don't look at it. You can't see anything from the outside. Just because everyone was concentrating on watching the excitement, there was no sound of chatter, and the small square suddenly became quiet. This made the voices of both parties in the quarrel become clearer.
What’s interesting is that the two parties in today’s quarrel are actually men and women confronting each other.
The woman's side kept saying that the other party was trying to steal tickets and was not ethical. It was obvious that he was the first in line to get the ticket. Why did you force your way over to **** these last two tickets?
The men did not give in at all, insisting that they were one step ahead of them even though they were standing side by side. Moreover, I have already handed the money into the window, and the ticket is my own. It's just the girl's own fault for being slow, who can she rely on?
The whole process is actually very simple, with just a few sentences, people will understand what is going on as soon as they hear it.
The two boys are a bit stingy, but they can understand it. After all, resources are too limited. Is it easy to wait in line for a long time under the bright sun? Who would be happy if he missed a step and had to wait three more hours under the sun?
To be honest, there are differences between men and women. They are all men. They have already moved their arms to talk. This kind of unclear situation happens here every day. But whoever has a big fist is right.
Normally Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn’t take it seriously, but the problem was that the woman’s voice and tone sounded so familiar to their ears.
This made the two of them uneasy. They looked at each other and realized that they wanted to go together. They threw away the cigarettes in their hands and walked towards the crowd with Hong Jun.
With such a tight perimeter, others may not be able to squeeze in, but they don’t have to worry.
A few "players" at Yongding Gate and Taiping Street were patted on the shoulders by them, and they took the initiative to make a crack and let them in.
I heard it right. When I walked to the end and took a quick look, I saw someone I knew.
In front of everyone, a tall boy wearing a sea soul shirt, a short black man wearing a red waistcoat, and two beautiful girls in dresses were seen confronting each other.
And these two girls are none other than Zhou Manna, and the other is Xuan Ye who also attended the Yang family dinner.
This scene is incredible.
One side is poor, the other is rich, and two poor guys who said they were the same cross talk partner actually got involved with two noble ladies.
The most amazing thing is that "Sea Soul Shirt" and Zhou Manna grabbed the two swimming tickets at the same time. No one let go, no one dared to use force.
Where can I find this Western scene? No wonder it attracts so many people to watch.
