Chapter 62: Pumice on the Mountain

It was another Sunday morning, Xia Wei went to the farmers' market to buy lotus root and sweet potatoes, and when she got home, Xiaolan happened to be playing in the yard, Xia Wei put down the items in her hand, teased Xiaolan and said, "Lan'er, shout to my aunt, take you out to play." ”

Xiaolan shouted with a milk cavity: "Aunt, go, go." Xiaolan's grandmother said, "Lan'er, let's go to grandpa's house with my aunt, my parents are back, and I will pick you up for lunch." ”

Xia Wei said to Xiaolan's grandmother: "Auntie, I'll send the things I bought home and take Lan'er to play again." ”

"Okay, you go up first."

Xia Wei came to the third floor where she lived, opened the door, put down the package, and went down directly to lead Xiaolan to her parents' house.

Knocking on her parents' door, Xia Wei said to Xiaolan: "Hurry up and call grandparents, aunt has something to do first, play with grandma for a while." ”

Lan'er shouted angrily: "Grandpa" and then came to grandma and shouted, "Grandma, go." After speaking, he pointed to the community fitness area outside the window with his little finger.

Grandma said, "Wait a while, when my aunt is busy, we will go to play together, and grandma can't hold you." Good boy! ”

Xia Wei was busy on the computer for a while, and then led her eldest brother Mingming's daughter Xiaolan to the fitness area with her mother.

Obviously Lan'er was born after remarriage, and the husband and wife did business in the vegetable market, and Lan'er was taken by her grandmother.

In the fitness area of the community, Lan'er jumped and ran happily, sitting on the seesaw for a while, lying on the slide for a while, and sitting on the running pedal for a while, Xia Wei followed busily. Mom was chatting with the parents who brought the children.

Lan'er is only more than a week old, and she can't walk very steadily, Xia Wei is afraid that she will wrestle, so she follows back and forth, and adults and children have a lot of fun.

The fitness area is located in an open area at the entrance of the community, facing the Huancheng River, with big trees shading, weeping willows, and rows of wooden seats in the shade area under the trees, with lawns and flower beds, where adults sit, lie and chat, all showing a quiet and serene atmosphere.

At lunchtime, Xia Wei and her mother were about to take Lan'er home, but Lan'er refused to leave, so Xia Wei picked up Lan'er and said, "Lan'er is good, aunt will take you home for dinner, and then take a nap, after you get up, your aunt will take you over to continue playing, okay?" ”

Lan'er muttered and said, "Okay, let's go." As he spoke, he pointed his little finger on the way home.

After having lunch at her parents' house, Xia Wei also went home to take a nap, woke up and wrote a diary, and then went down to the first floor and came to Ming Ming's house. Lan'er has disappeared, obviously the husband and wife are sleeping, they get up at one o'clock at night to go to the vegetable market to do wholesale, so they basically sleep in the afternoon.

Lan'er's grandmother told Xia Wei, "Lan'er has led her cousins to play with your parents." ”

Xia Wei went directly to her parents' house, and met Lan'er's two little cousins on the road, one was ten years old and the other was five years old, they were the children of Lan'er's uncle and second uncle's family, and the two little ones used a three-wheeled scooter to tie a rope and pulled Lan'er to the fitness area of the community, Xia Wei stepped forward and said: "Lan'er, you are up to sleep, and your aunt will accompany you to play." ”

When the two little boys saw Xia Wei coming, they hurriedly shouted, "Hello aunt! Let's go too. ”

Xia Wei looked at the two little guys with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll pull it." Then he took the rope and pulled Lan'er to the fitness area.

When the two little cousins saw that there was such a good place to play, they happily chased after each device and played with it, Xia Wei took a bag of candy and shouted: "Don't run, walk slowly, don't fall, come over and rest for a while, eat candy." ”

However, the children didn't listen to Xia Wei's shouts and continued to play with themselves, only Lan'er laughed, shouted, and ran behind her brothers, and Xia Wei followed Lan'er closely to prevent Lan'er from falling.

Xia Wei looked at the happy and happy appearance of the children, and also remembered the scene when she was a child, when she was a child, she was herding geese, ducks, sheep, pigweed, and chopping firewood in the countryside in the wild.

Xia Wei remembers that when she was a child, the happiest thing she did was to release geese and ducks with her friends after school, and after school, her classmates met to drive a group of geese and ducks to the open grass or the rice field that had just been harvested.

Sometimes, Xia Wei watched the geese and ducks grazing in the field, while lying on the grass, facing the blue sky, admiring the blue sky and white clouds. Sometimes I watched the sunset in the west reflect the sky red, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the endless fields, reflecting the yellow rice paddies in orange and red.

At this time, Xia Wei would close her eyes and reverie: if she had a paintbrush in her hand, she would transfer this beautiful scenery to the drawing paper and make it eternal, how beautiful it would be! Since then, she has dreamed of becoming a painter herself, she must paint the most beautiful sunset, she wants to paint the most beautiful scenery in the world, so that people can remember all the good things.

As she grew older and more knowledgeable, Xia Wei didn't know when she wanted to become a writer again.

I remember that time the school organized a trip to White Horse Mountain, Xia Wei and Wang Tao set off with the school's tour team, the head teacher led the team in front, the students lined up to follow, the teacher took the students to the foot of White Horse Mountain, the head teacher said: "Please count the number of you in the team leader, and then disperse to the mountain in small groups, you go to the mountain for two tasks." First, you have to find the things that you find most interesting, such as stones, wild flowers, fruits, but say why you are bringing what you have collected. Second, remember the environment and places you have visited, and write an essay when you return to school. In short, you have to gain something, otherwise we will lose the meaning of this tour. The team leader must bring your team members, okay, let's disperse, good luck! ”

Xia Wei and Wang Tao are in a group, Xia Wei is the leader and class leader, she is not only responsible for the safety of her own group members, but also responsible for the number of people in the entire class and the assignment of instructions to each group leader.

Xia Wei led the team members to a mountain spring with flowing water in the middle of the mountain, and asked the team members to look for things they felt valuable and liked along the ditch, and Xia Wei began to look for it herself.

Suddenly, a deformed stone attracted Xia Wei's attention, she picked up the stone, the stone was a little red, it felt very light, the surface of the stone was like a hornet's nest in some places, it felt very strange, she put the stone in the water to wash, accidentally fell into the ditch, never thought that this stone was actually floating on the water, it was amazing, how could there be a stone floating on the water like a boat, she quickly put away the stone, and then followed the team members to continue to walk, continue to find her favorite things.

When Xia Wei handed the stone to the homeroom teacher, the teacher asked, "Why did you collect this stone?" ”

Xia Wei said: "I want to know why this stone is floating on the water. Wondering what kind of stone it is. ”

The teacher gave a thumbs up and said, "Well, it's a good idea, and I love to use my brain." I'll tell you the answer right now, but it's not comprehensive. The teacher picked up the stone and said to the students: "The stone that Xia Wei picked up is a pumice stone, it is also a volcanic stone, it seems to have medicinal value, I don't know much about this, wait until you grow up to dig deeper." ”

What Wang Tao picked up was a pebble with a pattern, and Xia Wei also liked Wang Tao's stone.

Xia Wei feels that this kind of travel is really happy, comfortable, and romantic, and she still has deep memories.

Xia Wei pondered that nowadays, with the development of cities, there is less and less green, and the places for children to play are getting smaller and smaller, so the country is already paying attention to green environmental protection, what a wise decision it should be.
