When Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan take Hong Jun to swim, they usually go to the "Taoranting Swimming Pool".
Because it is not only the closest to Furuli, but also 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.
Therefore, 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 does not reflect its due status at all.
The ticket office is even more pitiful. It is located inside the gate, in a small square of about 300 square meters, with a row of small windows on the left. There are only some iron bars on the ground similar to horizontal bars to divert 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 little by little.
In addition, the inside of the window is extremely dark and very inhumane.
People could only lower their heads to get tickets through the small window that only allowed one hand to pass through. Almost no one had the chance to see the face of the conductor. Thinking about it today, the scene could be introduced into a horror movie.
Fortunately, swimming tickets were very cheap. At that time, they were only 10 cents, which was five cents cheaper than movie tickets.
It is a piece of paper that is very crudely made, white and translucent, and is only the size of an eraser. It also has a red stamp stamped on it with your entry and exit time.
This is because there was no round robin at that time, but one every two hours. After the venue was cleared, the staff would do a good job of sanitation, and there would be an hour's interval between the two sessions for people who were to be dropped off for another session.
Since there are few swimming pools and many people, if you go 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.
Everyone rushed in and ran inside.
This resulted in the fact that before the show started, people holding inflated lifebuoys and swimming trunks could be seen everywhere, crowding the small square.
Especially when the ticket inspector opened the door to let people in, the atmosphere there was simply hotter than the weather. There was a roar and boiling sound that could be heard even a mile away. Then people rushed in one after another.
But as Hong Yanwu, he never has to worry about buying tickets.
First of all, there are many Nancheng playboys who come here to swim, and it is too easy to meet "acquaintances" who form gangs here. Isn't it just a matter of one sentence if someone comes to help buy tickets?
Sometimes when other people saw them coming, they would take the initiative to give them tickets. They didn’t even have to ask, and there would just be a bunch of people rushing to show their respect.
Therefore, 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 land was the land at the doorstep of the "Da De He" family back then. Moreover, the staff who inspected the property here were all selected from various units, and the grandma didn't like it, and the uncle didn't like it.
There is a neighbor in "Dadehe" who is nicknamed "Lao Diao". He comes here every year to serve as the patrolman and the leader of the ambulance crew. Hong Yanwu has long been familiar with him.
Whenever you come, just mention "Brother Diao" to the ticket inspector and they will get in. If that doesn't work, you can at most offer a cigarette and ask someone 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.
It was an absolute privileged class, with 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 interact with everyone in a respectable manner. The "players" were polite and flirtatious. They didn't even think about buying tickets.
But at this time, due to their interests, they had already become famous people in the south. Even people who had had festivals in the past would not look at them again, but everyone regarded 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. It was really a bit like a crowd of stars applauding the moon.
Coincidentally, just as they were leisurely smoking a cigarette that was offered to them by others, a quarrel suddenly broke out at the ticket office. What's more, people can't help but feel sad that someone who was obedient was fighting for the last two swimming tickets.
.
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 everything in this world is unfair. There are really few people who can be as worry-free and unrestrained as Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
Naturally, according to our folk customs, as soon as someone starts making a noise, the crowds of spectators will immediately surround the ticket booth.
Don't forget that nothing can be seen from the outside. Just because everyone is concentrating on the excitement and there is no chatter, the small square suddenly becomes quiet. This makes the voices of both parties in the quarrel become clearer.
What's interesting is that the two parties in today's quarrel are actually male and female.
The woman on the other side kept saying that the other party was rushing in to grab tickets, which was unethical. She obviously wanted the tickets at the front of the queue. Why did you force your way over to snatch the last two tickets?
The male party did not give in at all, insisting that even though they were standing side by side, he was one step ahead of them. Moreover, he had already handed the money into the window, and the ticket was his. It was only the girl who was slow to move,
Who can we rely on?
The whole process is actually very simple, with just a few sentences, people can understand what is going on as soon as they hear it.
The two guys are a bit stingy, but that's understandable. 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 they miss a step and have to wait three more hours under the bright sun?
To be honest, there is a difference between men and women. They are all men. They have already moved their arms to speak. This kind of unclear situation happens here every day. But whoever has the bigger fist is not justified.
Ordinarily 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 might not be able to squeeze in, but they don't have to worry.
Several "players" at Yongding Gate and Taiping Street were patted on the shoulders by them, and they took the initiative to make way for them to come in.
I heard it right. When I walked to the end and took a quick look, I saw that I was an acquaintance.
In front of everyone, they saw a tall boy wearing a sea soul shirt, a short black man wearing a red tank top, and two beautiful girls in dresses.
And these two girls are none other than Zhou Manna, and the other is Xuan Ye who also attended the Yang family dinner.
To say 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 into an affair with two wealthy young ladies who exuded nobility.
The most amazing thing is that "Hai Hun Shi" 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 see it.
