The main business of the two brothers was to find ice blades, so after Bai Ke put away the incense burner, he walked towards the scrap copper and rotten iron warehouse with Bai Zong.

The white guest thought that the widow could pick up antiques, and he should be able to find a few of them.

But when I came to the scrap copper and rotten iron pile, I saw that the copper was basically gone, and only some scrap iron remained.

It is estimated that they were all taken away by the half-sized children, because copper is still more valuable at the moment.

The brothers had no choice but to find scrap iron that could be used to make skate blades.

After looking for a while, I finally found two truncated angle steels, only slightly longer.

Bai Zong took out a small hacksaw, measured the size, and cut off three pieces of angle steel.

Two long skates for a big ice car, and a short one for a Xiaoice car.

Then use a file to scrape down four steel bars and use them to make ice picks.

After the things were collected, the brothers returned to the wall.

Bai Ke climbed up the wall first, Bai Zong handed over one thing, Bai Ke threw it outside the wall, and then Bai Zong also came up.

When they returned home, the brothers worked in the yard for a while, and in an hour, they finished the ice cart and loaded the four ice picks onto the sticks.

It happened that Bai Bin was also lazy at home, and Bai Ke dragged him out too.

The brothers and sisters came to Dawan together.

At this time, there are already a lot of children gathered here.

Some are playing with ice cars, and some are smoking ice spinning tops.

There are many ways to play ice cars, and there are two most common ones.

One is the race, which is the same as track and field running, where it is up to who gets to the finish line first.

Another is similar to ice hockey, where everyone sits in an ice cart and grabs a piece of wood and gets it in the door.

The Xiaoice car with a single ice blade Bai Ke and Bai Bin could not play, so Bai Zong could only monopolize it, and he played the Xiaoice car to join the other children's team.

Bai Ke and Bai Bin took turns playing with the big ice car.

Bai Ke likes to kneel on the ice car, while Bai Bin likes to sit cross-legged on the ice car.

They played happily until evening, and the children began to leave one after another.

Only then did the third brother hold hands and rush home towards the sunset.

The winter break went by exceptionally fast.

I haven't had enough of it, and the Spring Festival is here again.

This is the second Spring Festival for the Bai family in the north.

I was in a hurry last year, and I didn't have time to visit my relatives.

After settling down this year, it's time to go to relatives.

Qin Yongmei does not have many families, and the immediate family members who are alive at the moment are a father, an older sister, an elder brother, and a younger brother.

The younger brother, who is Bai Ke's uncle, is still a soldier on the northern border, so he can't visit.

My brother and sister live in the countryside 100 kilometers away.

Qin Yongmei's father lives with her third brother Qin Yongfu.

Therefore, Qin Yongmei can visit her three relatives at once.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, a distance of 100 kilometers is not too close.

It's also quite tiring to go back and forth.

Fortunately, Qin Yongmei's brother and sister's family is in one direction, and after going to her brother's house, you can walk another twenty or thirty kilometers to her sister's house.

Therefore, you can visit the two families in one trip.

Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, Qin Yongmei went out with Bai Ke and Bai Ning.

The three of them arrived at the train station, which was full of people carrying packages to visit relatives and friends.

Because it is not the first station, you can't buy a seat at all when you get on the bus from a small county town.

After the train entered the station, the people of Wuyang began to rush towards the train, and it seemed that it was about to overturn the train.

Fortunately, Qin Yongmei's third brother Qin Yongfu is a railway policeman, and he greeted the people here in advance, and Qin Yongmei led Bai Ke and Bai Ning directly from the dining car.

The dining car was also full, and with Qin Yongfu's relationship, he could only get a seat.

Qin Yongmei let her two children sit together.

There is a place to stand here, and if you are in the carriage, it is difficult to stand.

As soon as the train turned, the white passenger looked out of the window.

I saw that there were people hanging on every door, and they could not squeeze into the carriage, so they could only hang outside, and accept the cold wind.

This kind of appearance is like the situation when the Tianzhu people took the train many years later.

There are people hanging outside, and there are many stops, how can this kind of train run.

Stop-and-go, the 100 km walk took almost 3 hours.

Bai Ke's third uncle's family lives in the countryside, and the platform is directly in the field.

When the three of them got out of the car, a red-faced girl on the side of the road waved at them.

It took a while for Bai Ke to recognize that this was the eldest cousin!

Seeing the eldest cousin, Bai Ke was a little excited and couldn't help but run over.

The reason why Bai Ke is so excited is because the life of the eldest cousin is too short!

Coupled with the previous life, this is the second time he has seen his eldest cousin.

The eldest cousin was one and a half years older than Bai Zong, and by the time the summer came, he would be eighteen years old.

According to the experience of the previous life, the life of the eldest cousin will stop at the age of eighteen.

On the night of the eighteen, my eldest cousin went to the town with a group of classmates to watch a movie.

After the end of the show, he came back from talking and laughing all the way, and fell on the railroad tracks carelessly, fell unconscious, and died shortly after returning home.

Speaking of which, their family is really not very prosperous.

Two or three years after the death of the eldest cousin, the third uncle also died of kidney disease.

After another two or three years, the third uncle's father, who was Bai Ke's grandfather, also passed away.

Of course, my grandfather was in his eighties when he died.

In other words, their family has always been in a state of white-haired people sending black-haired people.

The grandfather died of illness, the third uncle died of nephritis, and Bai Ke's unpredictable prophetic skills could not help them.

But the eldest cousin died in an accident, and Bai Ke may be able to save her.

For the eldest cousin, this was the first time she had seen Bai Ke and Bai Ning.

But she could guess who was who.

So even if she didn't know Bai Ke, she stretched out her arms and gave Bai Ke a warm hug.

The eldest cousin is such a person, lively and cheerful, and a little bit of a boy's hearty energy.

As soon as Bai Ke was put down, Qin Yongmei and Bai Ning also came closer.

The eldest cousin hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Auntie!"

Qin Yongmei is the youngest woman in the family, so she has to be called this one.

In the local area, when people call the youngest person in the family, they generally add the word "old" in front of it.

For example, Qin Yongmei, as the youngest aunt, was called an aunt by her nieces and nephews.

And Qin Yongmei's younger brother Qin Yongwu, as the youngest boy in the family, was called uncle by Bai Ke and his brother.

Bai Ke himself is the same, as the youngest son in the family, Qin Yongmei is used to calling him Lao'er.

The eldest cousin's name is Dajuan, and after Qin Yongmei exchanged a few words with her, she took her hand with one hand, and Bai Ning and Bai Ke with the other, and walked towards the path together.

The third uncle's family lived in a small village not far from the railway.

The layout of each house is similar to that in the city, except that the front and back yards are larger, and you can grow something.

Walking into the courtyard, Bai Ke's other cousin Xiaojuan and cousin Fa Chang also greeted him.

They're just like big cousins, they're all red-faced, like the Big Apple.

The third uncles also held wet hands and stood at the door of the house, greeting everyone with smiles on their faces.

Uncles mean aunts.

Bai Ke couldn't understand why the locals called their aunts uncles.

Nine times out of ten, it is the pronunciation of my aunt.

But the locals don't call sows pigs.

Therefore, this "we" should be the elegant name of "mother".

Call your aunt directly, and the other party will be unhappy.

It's also a little embarrassing to call my aunt.

Just like the old family in the southwest called the aunt who was older than the father dad, it is quite natural for people to listen to it, and it will not taste like that if they change places.
