Rural Childhood Memories: Those Beautiful Times Worth Remembering

In the countryside, we used winnowing baskets to catch small birds, taking them all, big or small. Now I've learned better and don't dare go anymore.

Catching chameleons, there are plenty of them in the rural wild. This thing really hurts when it bites. Wait, let me look at my finger.

For us rural kids, catching crickets, using the water trick - pour water in and they show up right away.

Picking up stones, it looked like only girls played it, but back then both boys and girls played.

When I was little, every summer night was the time for us rural kids to set out, and it was all for this: cicada nymphs.

Hehe, I'm just looking, not raiding bird nests.

Dung beetles, we also caught them with the water trick back then. Thinking about it now, it's a bit dirty.

Folding paper boats, folding paper planes - the special skills of rural kids.

Crabs, even though crabs run rampant and domineering, they still fell to us rural kids.

The slingshot, a great tool for catching birds, though as for accuracy, well, it was so-so.

Jump rope, boys played it no less than girls. If you're a guy, dare you say you never played it?
