After Li Xinxin and Shui Jiandang finished shopping, they took the bus back to the military area together. After all, I still have to go back and have lunch with my family.
In the Shui family far away in the northeast, the family was eating frozen persimmons and pears by the brazier. They were cold, sweet and delicious. There was a knock on the door.
Xiaoliu went out and opened the door, and found a few young men from the same village. He invited them: "Jianyi, you guys can go out and play in the snow with us. It's boring to stay at home."
"Qiu Sheng, Dong Zi, Qian Chuan'er, please wait for a while and I'll go ask."
"Okay, go ahead." The chubby Dongzi waved his hands happily.
Xiaoliu returned to the main room and asked his brothers: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, Xiaoqi, do you want to go out to play in the snow together?"
"I'm not going, you go ahead." After all, Shui Jianshe was getting older and playing every year had long since become boring.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are twins. They always do whatever they do together, and he has to go.
Xiao Qi looked at her sister: "Bingyue, are you going? If you go, I will pull you with a sledge instead of walking."
Liu Xuemei also persuaded: "Bingyue, go out and play for a while. It's really boring to stay at home. It's healthier if there are more people and activities."
"Okay, then I'll go too." Shui Bingyue agreed with a smile.
When the young men at the door saw Shui Bingyue there, they were surprised and asked Xiaoliu curiously: "Why is sister Bingyue willing to come out this year?"
"Of course I'm older, more curious, and want to try new things. The snow fell early this year, so there's not much else to do."
Xiao Qi pulled the sledge out, and Qian Chuan'er said to him: "Jianli, why are you using the sledge when you come out to play in the snow?"
"Of course it's for my sister."
"..."
Everyone asked no more questions and walked towards the small slope at the foot of the mountain together. Climbing up the slope, sliding down one by one, the fluffy snow surface was compacted into porcelain.
A pure natural slide appeared, and several people had a great time. Shui Bingyue sat down on the sledge. Xiaoqi pushed her gently from behind, and she slid down the slope. It felt very good.
It was obvious that he was moving forward, but it seemed that all the scenery was going backwards, and everything he saw was covered with white snow, giving people a dizzy feeling.
This is a feeling similar to flying that can be experienced without using magic. When the sledge stopped, she pulled herself up the slope and slid down again.
The boys were tired of playing on the slide, so they went to have a snowball fight on the flat ground. In the end, they attacked indiscriminately. Shui Bingyue could only see the white fog in the sky, and she couldn't tell who was who.
When Shui Bingyue slid down the slope again on a sledge, a silly roe deer appeared on the established track, motionless.
She could only shift her body's center of gravity to one side to deflect the sledge to avoid collision. Finally, the sledge stopped half a meter away from the silly roe deer, but her center of gravity was unstable and she fell into the snow.
The silly roe deer actually came closer, stared at Shui Bingyue carefully with its big innocent eyes, and even smelled it with its nose.
Shui Bingyue pushed it away in disgust: "Go away quickly, you made me fall, and you dare to come over."
Several other people having a snowball fight noticed what was going on here, stopped and came over. The six big boys ran over with great noise, scaring the silly roe deer away.
Xiao Qi quickly looked at her sister: "That thing didn't hurt you, did it?"
"No, but I don't want to play anymore. Let's go home. Otherwise something will pop out later. I almost collided with a roe deer just now."
"Okay then, we are tired from playing. It's time to go home and have lunch." Qiu Sheng also agreed. After all, snowball fights are indeed quite tiring. On such a cold day, their heads were so hot that white smoke was coming out.
In the past, there were heavy snowfalls that blocked the mountains, and ferocious animals could not find food to go down the mountains. It's really better to go home early.
Everyone separated like this, with the Shui family being the furthest away from the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, when the three boys led their sister halfway, the silly roe deer jumped out of nowhere and followed Bingyue.
Lao Wu asked his sister: "Is this the one just now?"
"That's right. There's a vertical line of yellow hair on its chin."
"Then let it follow you all the time?"
"Anyway, we'll be home soon. If it follows us into the yard, it's just a meal. If it doesn't, it's doomed."
Shui Bingyue didn't just kill animals when she saw them. Whether to kill or not to kill depends on its own choice.
Then he quickly arrived at the door of the house. When the fourth brother opened the door, he saw this strange combination. A silly roe deer stood closely next to his sister.
"Come in quickly, lunch is ready, hurry up and eat."
I saw that the younger brothers didn't move and watched their younger sister go forward. Then the silly roe deer followed her sister into the courtyard. Only a few of them hurried in and closed the courtyard door.
Shui Shangqing saw this scene when he walked out of the main room, and found it quite funny. When it wanted to follow Bingyue into the house, it was tied up by a rope found by the construction company.
Tie its limbs together and throw it in the snow. Everyone went to eat.
Shui Shangqing said helplessly: "This year, your eldest brother still can't come back to celebrate the New Year. The mountain road is not easy to walk. There are fewer and fewer people in the family who can get together every year."
"This is a good thing. It means that the brothers have become self-reliant and have a world of their own. They go out to live a better life." Shui Bingyue persuaded.
"I understand the truth, but I feel that you have all grown up and time flies too fast. Year after year. Sometimes I always dream about when I was young. In the blink of an eye, I am like a grandfather. He’s an old man.”
Liu Xuemei shook her head and said with a smile: "I, a woman, haven't said this yet, so you think you are too old. That's not how life is. As long as it gets better and better, it is a good life."
Soon, the family finished their lunch. Shui Bingyue left the main room and noticed a lot of buckets in the backyard.
Pointing to the buckets, he asked the fourth brother: "Why do you put the buckets where?"
"Because our family is going to make ice lanterns this year, and the bucket is the mold."
"Then why haven't you done it in the past few years? I don't remember it." Shui Bingyue was curious.
Shui Jianshe smiled slightly and explained seriously: "It's actually very simple. We didn't have so many candles at home before, so we need to light candles in the ice lantern. I bought a lot of candles specially this year."
"But it's so big, how can it look good?"
"You'll find out tonight. Now go back to your room and rest for a while. We have to stay awake until twelve o'clock tonight."
"Okay, I am indeed a little sleepy. Fourth brother, you said winter is over. Will I gain a lot of weight?"
Shui Jianshe rubbed his sister's head: "You are young, just eat well and sleep well. Even if you are fat, you are still the most beautiful girl."
