Playing poker as a child

I read the news these days that a junior high school student in Wuhan was slapped by his mother and jumped to his death while playing poker at school!

I think this mother is too much because the child is not worth it! If it were me, I would think that the teacher made a mountain out of a molehill, and I would play poker with her when she told the child that she was going home.

As a rural baby born in 1980s, she had endless housework when she was young. When I was in the second grade, under the guidance of my teacher, I dug trees from the mountain to the school playground. Every day in the pond next to the school, water the trees with your own bucket or washbasin. If it is now, parents must be worried about their children drowning. But when did our parents care so much, and when did they learn everything and listen to the teacher?

I remember we started playing poker at school in the third grade, secretly, of course. If we are caught by the teacher, we will receive our cards. When we have no spare pocket money to buy cards, we play boldly after school. We played on the way after school and didn't go home for dinner until about the same time. Because some people have to do housework when they go home, they have no time to play, and they won't play for long. Because our parents know that we will be beaten when we call home on the road, we can only play a few rounds.

At first, we played catch turtles and fishing hooks. Boys liked to fight landlords, and the lottery used book paper. These are very simple, just playing cards!

I remember reading early one day in the third grade. The teacher on duty didn't come, but the teacher who rang the doorbell went home and was very busy. I don't know who got the news. The boys didn't study hard at first, but when they knew that the teacher was away, they became bolder. They simply put the books aside and beat the landlord around the desk. It is also suggested that the classroom door be propped up with a podium table, so that even if the teacher comes, he will not be caught. I don't know if the teacher on duty came later, but we played all morning until class was over!

In the fourth grade, I started to play with three belts and two belts, and I could even throw a straight. How did we learn it? In fact, they are all self-taught, and they will be at first sight.

At that time, adults played more cards than mahjong because fewer people bought mahjong cards. One more thing, at that time, everyone was busy with farm work, so there was so much leisure time that adults only played occasionally, that is, they played more during the New Year.

Playing poker is the easiest way to entertain. Adults have a lot of money, but it is very small. This is not gambling! Only a few people like to get something for nothing and speculate, thus rising to gambling!

Our general entertainment is educational. We children play, adults don't criticize.

We still had a good time until we went to high school and stayed in the fifth and sixth grades. At this time, we no longer play with catching turtles and fishing hooks, and think she is too simple! We play tractors, invite seven tractors to play two cards, and four people play in teams, which is a bit like upgrading together to fight monsters. Invite seven people, win a game and win the lottery!

There were about 30 girls in our dormitory at that time. As soon as we finished eating, we closed the dormitory door and formed several rounds. There are still some girls who can't play, and some people can only watch when they are slow. Anyway, it is lively and cruel! Later, somehow, it was known by the teacher. I still remember Miss Li shouting loudly, which scared us to never play in school again! There was no punishment, after all, there were many people playing at that time!

Playing at home in winter and summer vacations, parents never say. This Wuhan parent probably never plays poker. I just take it for granted that this is gambling, so I hate slapping children at school.

I want to find someone to play poker now, but I can't find anyone. There are several mahjong halls next to it, but I can't do one thing, and I'm not interested! It seems that I learned things quickly when I was a child, and I can learn at a glance!
