The location of Yinzitan is very good, it is a large piece of flat land that is rare in the mountains, behind the small village is a small hill more than 20 meters high, and then there are lush green mountains. In front of the village is a large rice field, and more than a dozen families are scattered everywhere, which can be described as a staggered and strange country, and chickens and dogs smell each other.

In addition to the kinds of vegetables and fruits planted by the villagers, there are also several huge millet trees and osmanthus trees growing on the hill, which should have been planted by the ancestors a long time ago. When it comes to the golden autumn season, the golden rice, the yellow chestnut balls, and the fragrant osmanthus can be described as an idyllic scenery.

However, since decades ago, when the government set up a village department and a primary school here, it has become a noisy children's paradise for most of the year, no longer a quiet village, and it is a little quieter during the winter and summer vacations. This is nothing, people in the mountains like to be lively, in the past, in order to watch a movie, they could drag their families to run more than ten miles to the countryside at night, and it was not festive when it was lively here.

However, since the establishment of a primary school, as long as the villagers can grow something that can be eaten raw, everything that is planted in a remote place and cannot be seen, such as cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, has suffered, not to mention a few chestnut trees on the hill.

The people in the mountains are honest, not to mention that among the girls and sisters who are studying here, there will always be a few nephews of this family and nephews (daughters) of that family. At the beginning, the adults in the village also told the skinners not to pick cucumbers for seeding, and to dig sweet potatoes to bury the vines back. After a long time, the villagers can't eat anymore, peanuts and cucumbers are planted behind the front door of the house, and there is no way to do sweet potatoes, so they can only dig as much as they want, and they only hope that they will be careful when simmering sweet potatoes, so as not to cause a mountain fire.

If these leathers go home and complain that their maternal uncle or cousin is stingy, picking cucumbers and digging sweet potatoes, will he still be able to hold his head up among his relatives?

Li Jiaming's grandmother's family lives in Yinzitan, and when he was about to go out, the eldest sister told him not to have lunch here, for fear that everyone else would return home, and he would have to walk the mountain road alone. The grandfather and grandmother who are already in the age of sixteen have only one son and one daughter, the son courted at the age of seventeen, and the three grandchildren and granddaughters have already graduated from junior high school and gone out to work; the daughter died early, Li Jiaming and the little sister have become the treasures in her heart, and some delicious food is left to them.

Today is the day of the start of school, and my grandmother, who has a little inconvenience in her legs and feet, has boiled two shelled eggs a long time ago, took a handful of sugar (fruits) left over from the wedding of her eldest grandson, and sat in the sun-dried grain flat waiting for her nephew.

…………

When the morning fog cleared and the sun began to show its power, Li Jiaming and a few maids and girls finally walked out of the mountain and came to a wide sandy beach, and across the river was Yinzi Beach.

The reason why Yinzitan is called Yinzitan is because this big river that flows to the neighboring county to repair water and finally flows into the Yangtze River, when it flows through here, there is a small section of unusually narrow and steep river, and the waves splash like broken silver;

The river water on the silver beach is not urgent, nor deep, the deepest place is not to the thighs of the little boys, the villagers put a few flat boulders in the shallow part of the river beach, usually step on the stones to cross the river, only in spring and summer when the water rises to support a small bamboo row. The little girls and the little girls had short legs, and when they crossed the river beach, they all started one by one, and then crossed the river by stepping on the stones with the momentum.

In the past, when the big dog led the team, when he crossed this river beach, he was honest and never dared to be skinny. It's okay in the hot weather, but it scares Gui Mei into the river, it's nothing more than getting wet on her body, and going to a relative's house to change her clothes; if it's in the cold weather, she falls into the river and gets sick with frost, then it's not a scolding but a meal that can't escape and beats her.

As soon as he arrived on the river beach, Li Jiaming took off his shoes, clothes, and pants and threw them to Mao Yan, wearing only a pair of shorts.

"You help me get it".

"Huh?"

"Ahh

"Oh", Mao Tong threw his shoes to the fine dog, and took off his shoes himself, he was half a head taller than Li Jiaming and much stronger, but he didn't need to take off his clothes and pants, just roll up his trousers.

"Wait until we stand apart, if she falls, she might be able to catch it. ”

Although this guy is skinny and doesn't know how to take care of his sister, but he is not a bad person, Li Jiaming smiled, let the fine dog go over with Gui Mei first, pulled Jin Mei and said: "Jin Mei, do you see? run first like the thin dog and Gui Mei, jump on the stone with one foot, don't look at the river, look at the stone in front of you, do you know?"

"Me, I"

"It's okay, wait for me and Brother Mao Yan to stand in the river, if you step on it, we will catch you. ”

The thick and leafy hairy man was not as patient as Li Jiaming, standing in the middle of the river in a pair of shorts, and scolded loudly: "Sister Jin, if you are afraid of this, you still read a fart book! It's okay on a hot day, we can still watch you in the river, if it's a cold day, you can try it? Why don't you want us to hold a bamboo raft to pick you up?"

"Oh", the timid Jin Mei bowed her head and responded, Li Jiaming knew at a glance that he would definitely fall into the river later.

The mountains are sparsely populated, and the traffic is inconvenient. Under the words and deeds of adults, children have developed the habit of watching each other, and they may usually make a prank, or fight over something, but only when they do things, they are all about helping others. Seeing Li Jiaming and Mao Tong's actions, the thin dog, who was about the same height as Li Jiaming, also took the initiative to take off his shoes, clothes and pants, and stood next to the big rock on the river beach in shorts.

"Come on, Jin Mei!"

"Come on"

In the midst of a few children's shouts, the timid Jin Mei was still on the third stone in the middle of the river, and almost knocked over the thick hairy stone.

"Forget it, I'll carry you over. ”

"Mao Yan, carry her back and let her jump again. Can you help her once, can you help her for the rest of your life?"

"Oh", Li Jiaming's command made Mao Yan hesitate slightly, but still carried Jin Mei back to the river.

In the world of children, there is a boss or a leader, which is usually called the child king, and usually, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

Li Jiaming fell from a tree and fell asleep for two days, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, taking care of housework, taking care of his sister, and later becoming a smart man. The praise of the adults, the stubbornness of the beating, and the departure of the old boss Gouya, this made him, who was not the biggest fist, qualified to compete for the boss. Today, Mao Yan, who asked for Li Jiaming, did not dare to fight back after being punched by him, and he officially became the leader of this small team publicly recognized.

When Mao Tong stood up again, Li Jiaming encouraged loudly: "Sister Jin, do you see it, if you can't jump, you will let us catch it, be bolder!"

"Oh"

Jin Mei started and jumped again, this time falling on Li Jiaming. Li Jiaming is not as strong and strong as hair, and the two fell on the river beach together and became two small soup chickens.

Waiting for Jin Mei, who was screaming in fright, she got up from the unhurried river in a panic, and Li Jiaming next to her wiped the water on her face and encouraged: "Come again! Don't be afraid, your eyes only look at the stones, don't look at the side." You see, the water here is so shallow, it's like falling down, you should take a cold shower at home. ”

"Oh", the water here is indeed not deep, Jin Mei, who stood firmly, responded in a low voice.

"Jump again!"

"Hey", Jin Mei, who was soaking wet, waded across the river beach by herself and returned to the river, finally not too nervous.

Starting and jumping again, this time the soaked Jin Mei jumped lightly on the stones like a fawn, and came to the other side of the river smoothly.

"Everyone go ashore, Sister Jin, you do it again. ”

"Hey", Jin Mei, who succeeded, excitedly agreed, and jumped back and forth again.

Li Jiaming, who had already taken off his wet shorts behind the thatch, put on his clothes again, and wore patched liberation shoes, saw the wet Jin Mei standing in front of him excitedly, and encouraged: "See, right? The worst is like this, what's so terrible, can you still want to die? It's the same with studying, if you work hard, you can always pass the exam; if you don't work hard, you will never be able to pass the exam, you know?"

"Hey!"

Jin Mei agreed loudly, which made Li Jiaming smile comfortably, this girl is finally a little bolder. Old people often say that if you are bold and official, you can't do it if you are too timid to read, you can't have a problem, and you don't even dare to ask the teacher, right?

"It's good to know, take you to my grandma's house to change your clothes. ”

"Hey"

But when the other boys went to school, and Li Jiaming took Jin Mei to his grandmother's house, he remembered something and secretly complained in his heart.
