Chapter 1 Ice Boats

The sky was bright, the army ran to the East River, and saw that the ice on the river was frozen tightly, and the child who first learned the news was like a soldier with good news, and shouted in a leisurely voice: It's frozen, the ice boat is rowing! It's frozen, it's ice boating! The dog who couldn't afford to lie suddenly got up from the hot quilt, naked, didn't care about wearing a shirt, put on a soft cotton jacket, and put on heavy cotton pants, which still flowed with the smell of yesterday's urine tide. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his feet arched into the cotton shoes, and he didn't have time to button them, so he stuck his leather hat on his head and ran towards the East River. Niu Shao, who was eating, had a stomachache, put the leftover half bowl of porridge on the table, and when the mother was about to shout, there was no trace of the child, and Hua Ni, who was feeding the chickens and ducks, heard the call of her partner, and scattered the corn particles in the dustpan on the ground, threw off the braid, hurriedly threw down the dustpan, and rushed towards the East River. Some children were running towards the East River, and when they heard such a call, they were extremely disappointed, because they were not the first heroes to discover that the East River was frozen.

Donghe is three or four miles away from the village, and the children run together at the head of the village, holding hands, and the male children who often test martial arts will take advantage of this opportunity to show their strengths.

Their enthusiasm is much more intense than when adults beat gongs and drums to tell them to listen to the play, because for children, this is the most exciting time of winter. The ice did not form thick in a day, and when the children arrived at the river could not wait to pick up a large rock and throw it into the middle of the river, it was with the strength of milk.

As a result, the smaller stones slipped into the middle of the river and did not move, like a hibernating toad, while the larger stones poked a large hole in the ice little by little.

The children were not annoyed that they couldn't skate on the iceboat, they would go to the repulse bay and beat out big ice cubes, make swords, axes, and halberds, and divide them into factions to shake each other, this is the boys' game, and the girls see that they can't skate, so they go home stupidly.

The sword, axe, and Fang Tian's halberd gradually melted in his hand, like a salt and sugar popsicle that he was reluctant to swallow in summer, dripping on his clothes and shoes, the popsicle that melted in summer would make his belly cooler, and the ice dripping on his cotton clothes in winter would gradually soak the cotton and fight against the warmth of the body. It was a strange feeling, innocuous and insignificant, but in the end, it was my mother's abuse that awaited me.

The sun rose slowly, lazily shining on the East River, and the sun scarred their play, and secretly hid behind the thin cloud, and the ice did not melt, but it did not thicken either. The cold wind of the dark night such as the sun blows the river and incense the children's dreams, and the next day they will happily climb the hillside and watch the children play to pass the lonely winter. As far as the eye can see, Donghe is like a silver white dragon, because he stole the peach of the queen mother, he was punished to the lower realm, and he was starved by cold. It's like the white satin silk scarf that Sister Mei in the village hung outside, which was frozen all night, forgot to collect it, and froze in the air. Occasionally swaying in the wind.

The weeds around the river are overgrown, and the dead grass on the riverside grows tall but sparse, like the beard of the old bark grandfather in the village. There are black cabbage and Chinese cabbage in the heaven and earth by the river. In winter, there are only these vegetables, and the children eat pork stewed Chinese cabbage, dried tofu stir-fried cabbage, cabbage tofu soup, fried Chinese cabbage, fried Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage and egg soup, vinegared Chinese cabbage, and hot and sour Chinese cabbage pickled in a ceramic jar in the morning and evening. Winter is not only the world of ice, but also the world of cabbage.

The children bypassed the cabbage field and came to the river dam, because the weapons in their hands were getting smaller and smaller, almost fighting close to their bodies, and in the end there was no taste of heroes, so they ran on the river dam, their fur hats had already been wiped on their hands, and the top of their heads was steaming hot, like steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, their palms were red, and they were sweating, their clothes were already soaked, and the cold air of the children without underwear ran from the buttocks to the neck, and it was cold for a while. Some children have already unbuttoned their buttons and let the wind blow.
