140 Winter Shibu River
After reading the message sent to me by Tan Xi, I was depressed all day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info although depressed, but the work that should be done is not missing at all.
The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is usually busy. Tomorrow is the New Year, in order to quickly organize a hearty meal, the day before the New Year, you need to carry out a simple processing of the ingredients, and then put the various processed ingredients into categories, so that the next morning when the New Year's dinner is not rushed.
Twenty-nine, according to convention, is a small year in the lunar calendar. The so-called small year is a prelude to the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve. At this time, the flavor of the New Year has begun to gather, and all kinds of preparations for the New Year have been made. Everyone is also gearing up and looking forward to the upcoming New Year. This year's 29th lunar month is similar to previous years. The only difference is that the weather on the 29th of this year is like a warm spring.
The temperature was very high, and my mother and I were washing vegetables by the cement pool in the yard. The water-cold frozen hands, after a short period of washing, the hands became red. But the sun overhead was very strong, and it didn't take long for my body to sweat. After washing a few baskets of vegetables, I basked in the sun in the yard, and Mrs. Xu came to invite my mother to clean my clothes by the river.
Although her daughter equipped Mrs. Xu with a fully automatic washing machine, she rarely used it because of frugality. Only those clothes that she really can't wash will be stirred in the washing machine. As long as she can, Mrs. Xu will still follow the traditional old method - hand washing. After washing, take it to the river and wash it with river water.
Mom was busy with the fish she bought with her father, so she didn't have time to go. Mrs. Xu asked me if I wanted to go to the river. I was fine anyway, so I followed Mrs. Xu to the river.
The water is clear and shallow. Reaching out, the river is not cold at all, and even a little warm. It may be due to the sun's exposure. I told Mrs. Xu that the water was warm, which was higher than the water coming out of the water faucet at home.
Mrs. Xu said that the temperature was high today, and the river water was also warmed.
During the conversation, Mrs. Xu mentioned that the shallow water could cross to the river. My heart itches. The amount of water in the Qing River has always been very large, and until the dry season in winter, both sides of the river are completely isolated. Now that you have the opportunity, how can you not go and explore.
In the blink of an eye, I had an idea and started running home.
After a while, I changed into a pair of red wedge sandals and returned to the river.
Mrs. Xu glanced at me: "You just said that you want to cross the river, I still wonder, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye, it turned out to be a change of shoes." ”
"I'll go over and see what's going on the other side of the river." I grinned and rolled up my pants and slowly waded through the water.
The river is very shallow, only reaching the calves of people. When I started to enter the water, I felt a little cold. But after walking a few steps, you can't feel the temperature of the river. Ten minutes later, I crossed the wide river.
Looking at the familiar scenery on the other side of the river, there is a subtle sense of strangeness. The familiar village that I am used to seeing seems to be far away at the moment, and it is not really standing.
The riverbank, which had been far away, was now under his feet. I walked slowly on the smooth river rocks. In addition to the river rocks, some low bushes have grown on the riverbank. The farther away from the river, the more miscellaneous trees there are. Later, it became a lush jungle.
The barrier-like mountain is only a stone's throw away, and when I got closer, I realized that the mountain that rose from the ground was also majestic. Looking up, the top of the mountain almost touched the clouds.
After walking for a while, the shade slowly invaded the bones. That's when I realized it was cold. The sun was shining on the other side of the river, but there was no sun on the other side of the river. The world seems to be suddenly divided into two worlds by a river. The moment you cross the river, you seem to have arrived in a completely different world.
In the middle of the riverbank, near the mountain, there is a deep pool. There are a large school of small fish fry swimming in the waterhole. It may be a paradise left behind after the flood. I looked at the little fry swimming freely for a while, and then I was ready to turn back. It was so cold, especially with my feet in sandals, I was almost freezing. As I walked back along the wide riverbank, I couldn't help but glance at the four courtyards not far away. Hasn't Lin Ye come back yet?
When I came back, I often thought about it. What was the reason for me to say goodbye so decisively? After thinking about it for almost two months, I didn't come up with a reason. Later, all that was left in my heart was deep longing. I cared about him, but I still couldn't take the initiative to bow my head, so I waited, day after day, for my love to take me away.
But it's been two months, and Lin Ye hasn't come back yet. I don't know if this wait will come to fruition. Perhaps, I will lose this man who will prepare chocolate for me in my winter pocket forever. Thinking about this, I can't help but have a sour eye. After looking at it for a while, I put away my mood and started walking back.
Wading again, I carefully watched my feet to prevent me from slipping on any small rocks. Just like that, I listened to the sound of the water and slowly approached the shore.
"Xiaocao'er, did you find a treasure on the other side of the river?" Mrs. Xu teased me.
I lowered my head and stared intently at the river, and slowly said, "No! Where is there a treasure! It's just cold! ”
"It's cold, you're still running so far. In the end, it is young people. Mrs. Xu muttered with a smile.
"Granny Xu, you can also try. This water is not cold. It's just that there is no sun on the other side of the river, so it is a little cold. I replied as I walked slowly.
As I spoke, I was already close to the shore. A hand stretched out in front of my eyes, and I held it without looking. The next second, I looked up in disbelief.
Lin Ye was standing in front of me with a smile.
"Coming back?" I suddenly smiled and asked softly.
"Yes." Lin Ye looked at me intently, his eyes full of gentle smiles.
At this moment, a thousand words, nothing could be more appropriate than this simple question and answer. It's like he's just out the door, and I'm just waiting for him to come back. No bickering, no vomiting, no apologies, no explanations...... It's all in plain sight.
Lin Ye led me ashore, took off my wet shoes, and then took out the paper to dry my soaked white feet.
"Da Layue wears sandals to play in the water, do you want to catch a cold?" Lin Ye naturally did all this, blaming me.
I just giggled, didn't speak, and naturally put my cold hand into his pocket. After digging for a while, I took out the familiar chocolate and ate it slowly.
Lin Ye glanced at me helplessly, pulled off his clothes, and wrapped my dried feet in his warm arms.
On the side, Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at us and smiled quietly.
The sun is overhead, shining warmly. Not far away, the Qing River flowed forward.
At this moment, the years are long, quiet as a dream.
