After a while, the laughter of the children came from the east ditch, Li Manman let his younger brother sit on the small bench turned over, and pushed the bench legs himself, skating on the ice, while the second army sat on the wooden shovel, and the army pushed him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe two little ones waved their arms happily and cheered.

Soon after, the older children in the village also came, and Baolin brought his sister and the old girl, and the only daughter of the third cousin's family, Xiuzi, who was no longer at home to do needlework, took her two old watches, dragged a big wooden plank, and also came, and the Li family also joined many older children.

Li Manman and a few of them were having a lot of fun on the side, and they didn't plan to join the big children's game, but they didn't know how they did it, they actually quarreled, and finally decided to decide the right to use Donggou this winter, and Li Manman and several people were involuntarily dragged into the game, in Baolin's words, this is a battle to defend glory, as long as the surname Li can't pretend.

The competition is divided into two games, one is that the big child carries a small child on the ice to see who runs far, and if he falls, he will fail; The other is ice melting, that is, the wheat straw blows a piece of ice, and it is up to you to see who blows the ice out of the hole first. For the sake of fairness, a referee surnamed Hou who had nothing to do with the two villages and only followed the Li family was also selected.

In the first game, the first Li family to play was Baolin, who carried the old girl on his back; The Li family is a small stub carrying his younger brother Sandanzi. Two groups of people stood by the ditch, listened to the referee shouted to start, and ran forward, the ice was very slippery, there was no special snowshoes in the northeast like the hometown, everyone basically wore hemp nests, that is, shoes made of straw, which can be put on cotton shoes, hemp nests are not slippery, so it didn't take long, both groups of people fell to the ground crookedly, the children of the two villages were nervously staring at the people in this game, shouting and cheering, eager to go up for them to compare, Li Manman was also very nervous, clenched his fists, staring at Baolin, very afraid that he would fall. But it's useless for the audience to worry, after running for about less than twenty meters, the little stub fell first, and Pauline also fell a few steps away from him, and the three eggs may have been hurt by the fall, and they cried loudly, the old girl was protected by her brother well, a little silly, but she didn't cry. Xiao Stub picked up his brother's and angrily told him to shut up, and the three eggs cried even more, and Little Stub had to send him home.

In the first round, the Li family won, the people of the Li family were very unconvinced, in the second round, there were few boys on the Li family's side, Xiuzi carried the second army on his back, and the Li family was Mao Dan carrying Xiaocao, Mao Dan was a very strong boy, the little straw man was as his name suggested, very weak, this game should not be compared to know the result, everyone was very frustrated, Li Manman cheered everyone up: "We have won the first game, the opening is good, this game is nothing, at most it is a draw!" Besides, we don't lose when we lose, we have to pay attention to demeanor! ”

Dajun pursed his lips nervously and said to Xiuzi: "Sister, when you run, pay attention to the soles of your feet, don't fall hard!" He said to his younger brother, who was about to cry, "Don't be afraid, hug your eldest sister!" ”

The game started, and Hideko fell after not running a few steps, but luckily she ran slowly, so the fall was not too bad, and the second army didn't feel pain, but was more depressed. Mao Dan carried the grass on his back, ran for a while, turned around, and looked at Li Manman and them defiantly, and the army Baolin blushed angrily.

In the third round, the Li family still sent an older boy, carrying a thin girl on his back, and there was only one big boy on the Li family's side, Baolin, who was as thin as a bean sprout, and he couldn't be counted on, Li Manman carried his younger brother on his back and tied it with a scarf, so that he could free his hands and say to everyone: "This game, I'll come!" ”

"My little lady, you can't do it, I'll call Wuzi!" Baolin said uneasily, and Xiuzi also nodded, they really didn't have confidence in Li Manman.

"I'll give it a try!" Li Manman said gently, "Wuzi is not at home, he went to his sister's house!" ”

When Bao Lin heard this, he immediately felt like a deflated ball, so he had to nod and agree, let's be a dead horse doctor!

In fact, Li Manman still has a little confidence in her heart, after all, she has learned to skate for a period of time before, although she is not skilled, but she is still a little skilled.

The referee shouted to start, Li Manman relaxed his whole body, his feet were in the shape of a figure-eight, he ran up, swinging his arms regularly, maintaining the balance of his body, and the effect was good.

I don't know how long it took, maybe not a few minutes, but Li Manman felt that it was quite long, his forehead was sweating, and he heard someone shouting to himself: "Da Hong, don't run, we won!" Don't run! ”

Slowly reducing the speed, Li Manman stopped, turned his head, and saw that the army was waving at him with excitement on his face, Xiuzi was also happy, Baolin held the old girl and ran towards him crookedly, and the Li family was depressed.

Putting down Taotao, Li Manman pulled his younger brother back to the starting point carefully, and Xiuzi pulled Li Manman over: "My little lady, how did you run?" I don't think you're in the same posture as we are? ”

Li Manman said with a smile: "I saw the way you run, and I thought, if you separate your feet a little, will your body balance a little, as long as I don't fall, I can run past the people of the Li family!" ”

"Hey, really, I've always wanted to run faster than the people of the Li family, like you think, as long as you don't fall, it doesn't matter if you're slow, as long as they fall, we'll win!" Pauline scratched his head and thought for a moment.

Li Manman was relieved to see that they didn't bother with their posture anymore, now the whole team doesn't even have a TV, and it is impossible for Li Manman to say that he learned from TV, let alone books.

"You won this one!" Xiao Cunzhen came back after sending his younger brother, knowing that his side actually lost, he was very unconvinced, but he was not good at cheating, so he said loudly to the Li family, "Last game, don't think about it!" After speaking, he looked at the few people on the Li family's side, and then looked at the dozen or so friends around him, and smiled contemptuously.

"Now I'll explain the rules, one person takes a wheat straw and blows a piece of ice together, whichever group blows through first wins, if it is almost blown through. Whichever group blows big and round wins! The referee said, "Now, one of the two groups will take these two pieces of ice back!" ”

Li Manman glanced at the referee, he was more faceless, just now he was just watching the game and didn't notice this person, but now he finds that this boy is not very old, but he is quite experienced. However, Li Manman also thought about it in his mind for a while, and quickly left it behind.

Bao Lin brought a large piece of illness over, one person divided a wheat straw, everyone scrambled to the ice, began to blow, Li Manman looked at the thick ice, and also counted the number of people on his side, the hope of winning is very slim, and said to Taotao: "Taotao, you go home and ask my mother to scoop a spoonful of salt!" ”

Taotao was puffing out her little cheeks, blowing the ice, and when she heard her sister's words, she was very unhappy: "I'm not going, I still have to compete!" ”

"Good, go! Sister promises we will win! Li Manman coaxed Taotao, she originally planned to go home by herself, but she just won a game, and the goal is too big!

"Okay!" Taotao reluctantly walked over and handed his wheat straw to Li Manman, "Help me put it away!" Li Manman nodded, watching his younger brother's little figure staggering and disappearing at the gate of the courtyard.

Bending down, Li Manman joined the ranks of blowing ice, puffing his cheeks, pouting his buttocks, pouting his wheat, and a circle of people around a piece of ice, blowing desperately, the center of the ice in front of him was sinking little by little, but there was still a period of time before it was blown through.

Because he knelt on the ice, he soon felt a biting chill on his knees, Li Manman had to stand up, walk around, and let everyone get up and move, Xiuzi rubbed his hands, put his hands to his mouth and sighed, and sat on his legs and raised his legs: This is too cold, his hands are about to freeze, the army, the second army, get up and move, don't freeze and get sick! ”

"What's the activity! There are so many people in the Li family who are inactive, and there are only a few of us, and we will definitely lose! You girls are squeamish! The army said impatiently, without raising his head.

"You stinky boy, am I not afraid that you will be cold? Be kind to the donkey's liver and lungs! Hideko walked over and pinched the army's ears.

"Hideko, didn't you hear that you wouldn't be allowed to make trouble? When the time comes, don't look for any other reason! Mao Dan raised his head and looked at several people from the Li family with a mocking smile.

"Don't talk big, and don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!" Li Manman is very unaccustomed to such people, relying on the large number of people and despising others.

"Da Hong, it's okay for you to fight! But you can't beat me! Mao Dan stood up, straightened his chest, and looked at the bean sprouts arrogantly.

"Of course, otherwise, the extra five or six years of food will not be eaten in the dog's stomach!" Hideko sarcastically said, Joke! Li Manman is only eight years old, and he is a proper sixteen.

"Humph! I'm a good man and don't fight with women! Mao Dan glanced at Xiuzi and Li Manman with disdain, and lowered his head to blow the ice again. Xiuzi didn't dare to delay time, knelt down again, and blew the ice!

"Sister, here you go!" Taotao stuffed a matchbox to Li Manman, and hurriedly said, "Give me the wheat straw!" ”

Li Manman handed the wheat straw to Taotao, squatted down himself, opened the matchbox, there was fine white salt inside, Li Manman pinched a handful, and put it in the place where it had just been blown down.

"Da Hong, what did you put it in?" Pauline asked with a sigh of relief.

"Salt!" Li Manman said a word, picked up his wheat straw, and blew it vigorously.

"Huh? This ice seems to be melting fast! The army looked strangely at the lump of ice.

"Da Hong, is that why you put salt?" Pauline asked curiously.

"Well, salt speeds up the melting of ice, the book says!" Li Manman explained.

Everyone seemed to see the dawn of victory, and blew even harder, Li Manman added a little more salt, and soon there was a thin layer of ice left, and the second army was very happy, ran to the side of the Li family, inquired, and when they came back, their mouths were cracked, and they picked up the wheat straw like blowing the trumpet of the charge, and carried out the final sprint.

"We've blown it through!" Pauline raised his hand and said to the referee.

Dajun moved the ice to the referee to show him, and the people of the Li family were very surprised, and they didn't believe it in their hearts, so they came over and rushed over, grabbed the ice cubes in Dajun's hands, and looked at it carefully, but no matter how you looked at it, the ice was blown through.

Both of these games ended in the victory of the Li family, the Li family left dejectedly, and Li Manman and a few people played for a while before going home for dinner.
