3. Games

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the snow is sprinkled with red crumbs from firecrackers, and the children are still immersed in the joy of the New Year. There are many children in the Qi family, and the excitement is boiling, and Qi Baichuan takes his younger brothers around early in the morning. Qi Baichuan went to the fourth uncle's house to take Qi Ziqiang out to play together, and the adults also had to play mahjong and push pai gow during the New Year.

Qi Baichuan took a bunch of children to his grandmother's house to grab some melon seeds and sugar cubes, each child's pocket was full, he carried the small firecrackers he left over from yesterday in his pocket, and then picked up Qi Ziqiang and let his younger brothers follow behind him, and went to the back mountain to play.

The older children climbed the plough with broken paper shells, and Qi Baiyue and Qi Baiyue were still young, and they followed the big army with their empty hands and short legs like small tails. Grandma stood in the yard and looked at the children who had run away in an instant, and shouted, "Remember to come back for dinner at noon!" ”

The back mountain is a small dirt bag at the root of Changqing Mountain, the continuous evergreen mountains are not majestic, compared with other famous mountains and rivers, the evergreen mountains covered with heavy snow in winter look like a white steamed bun that is not wrapped, for the children of Happy Village, the mountain is mysterious, yearning, and it is a part of the memory of childhood.

Qi Ziqiang trotted slowly, Qi Baichuan hugged him, and when he arrived at the place, he looked at the place where the snow was thick, and threw Qi Ziqiang into the snowdrift, which made Qi Ziqiang giggle, and Qi Baiqiang and Qi Baiyue also rushed to line up for Qi Baichuan to throw them. Qi Baifeng led the remaining younger brothers to run to the small hillside and began to play slippery. The hillside is full of children, and since the beginning of winter, this hillside has handed over four ice courses from top to bottom, so you don't have to worry about not having enough fun.

Qi Baifeng gave the climbing plow to Qi Baiyu and Qi Baizhang, and he and Qi Baijun took the paper shell under the buttocks and slid down from the uphill sting, the cold wind blew in the ears, blowing the corners of the children's mouths to the cheeks.

Playing and playing with familiar friends, they began to leave their brothers and sisters behind and get together in a bunch of two, playing all kinds of tricks on the ice track.

Qi Baichuan was tired enough by the three living treasures, stopped the game of throwing the snow pit, and brought the three small ones to the slope, and there were broken paper shells left by others on the ground, picked up a long one, and let the three small radish heads sit on it in turn, he sat in front of the three radish heads, told them to grasp them one by one, and then grabbed the edge of the paper shell in front of him with both hands, kicked the ground with his feet, and slipped to the bottom of the slope.

When he got down, he found that Qi Baichuan didn't catch Qi Baiyue and was left on the slope, and the anxious Qi Baiyue didn't care if there was a paper shell under his buttocks and sat on the ice and slid down, and after coming down, he excitedly urged Qi Baichuan to hurry up the slope, and he wanted to play, Qi Ziqiang Qi Baiyue also followed.

Qi Baichuan walked behind the three little radish heads and pushed them up.

"Big brother, hurry up, haha." Qi Ziqiang walked on his short legs and asked Qi Baichuan to use some strength to get to the top quickly.

Qi Baichuan took a few steps at his feet, and the three villains simply pushed one by one, and none of them left, all relying on Qi Baichuan to push the three people up.

After playing for a few rounds, the three little radish heads watched other big children use various postures, standing and squatting to slide down, decisively gave up the broken paper shell, and began to stand alone and slide down.

Qi Baiyun put the climbing plow on the ground, lay down, and grabbed the climbing plow tightly with his two hands with stuffy hands, kicked his hind legs, and went down on his stomach.

The wind blew the children's faces red, and Qi Ziqiang's delicate smiling face was also red, and he couldn't see his eyes when he smiled.

"Big brother, let's take the dragon, I'll come first!"

A group of children from the Qi family all ran to the slope, Qi Baichuan took the lead in sliding down, and then Qi Baijun, one by one less than two meters apart, Qi Baichuan was not worried about the small ones, standing at the bottom of the slope and watching the younger brothers and sisters sliding down the small hill one after another like beads with broken threads, when they arrived at Qi Baichuan, they didn't follow the rhythm, and when they reached the bottom of the slope, they saw that they were going to lie down, and they were dragged up by Qi Baichuan with his clothes.

Qi Baichuan didn't bring his hands to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, his hands were red from the cold, and he didn't care.

The three radish heads who were tired of playing were led to the slope by Qi Baichuan, and the climbing plow in Qi Baijun's hand was asked to come down, and the three radish heads were placed on the climbing plow, so that they could rest and eat the sugar and melon seeds in their pockets here, and from time to time they saw what their younger brothers were doing.

Qi Ziqiang wanted to eat melon seeds, and asked Qi Baichuan to pick melon seeds for her, Qi Baichuan obediently received the order, Qi Baichuan and Qi Baiyue also wanted to enjoy this treatment, and they were all honest when Qi Baichuan came to the head alone.

Qi Baichuan's hands froze the wood and cut it slowly, Qi Ziqiang stopped doing it, and said vigorously, "Brother!" Elder brother! Eat! Eat! ”

"Your hands are frozen, it's not good, don't worry."

Qi Ziqiang looked at Qi Baichuan's frozen red hand, stood up, grabbed Qi Baichuan's hand and stuffed it into his small padded jacket, shivered from the cold, and laughed.

Qi Baiyu and Qi Baiyue also had to cover Qi Baichuan's hands, which made Qi Baichuan's heart warm, but they still quickly took out their hands, let them eat melon seeds by themselves, and put them on.

"Big brother, come on, let's throw off the big dragon, hurry up." Qi Baifeng shouted Qi Baichuan.

"You guys play, I'm not worried about this guy here."

Qi Baichuan, who was tired of standing, put Qi Baiyun and Qi Ziqiang on his lap, sat on the climbing plow, and Qi Baiyue lay on Qi Baichuan's back. The three radish heads, who had rested enough, joined the ranks of the great dragon.

Throwing the big dragon is different from solitaire, throwing the big dragon is a drag next to each other and sliding down, there is a certain danger, the middle one is very important, and the last one is the most dangerous.

Qi Baifeng was in the middle, Qi Baichuan stood at the end, the three small ones were in the front, Qi Baijun took the head and shouted the trumpet, and a group of children of the Qi family slid down like a long dragon.

At noon, everyone didn't have enough fun, Qi Baichuan gathered a bunch of his younger brothers and sisters, went home for dinner, and a few slightly older ones didn't want to leave, so they were kicked by Qi Baichuan and went home obediently. The other children were also dragged home by their older brothers or sisters. Qi Baichuan carried Qi Ziqiang and sang a song, Qi Ziqiang was still excited, hugged Qi Baichuan's neck, and twisted his body with the song.

The two little short-legged Qi Baiyue and Qi Baiyue on the ground waved their hands like twisting Yangge, and they also sang and danced along.

After a while, the hillside was quiet, as if no one had ever visited.

The most important thing in the happy village in winter is entertainment! This is Qi Ziqiang's personal experience.

I haven't gotten tired of the entertainment projects in the back mountain, and I followed my brothers out to play tricks, and there are rabbits or something in the mountain roots, take them home and roast them on the stove to eat, not only delicious but also fun!

Of course, not only children are willing to play, but adults are not exempt from vulgarity, especially Qi Laosi!

Qi Lao Si is also wild when he is young, as the youngest son in the family, pampering is inevitable, and the first three brothers also let him, so relatively speaking, he is the best at playing!

On this day, he carried Qi Ziqiang behind him and followed a group of eldest nephews to the back mountain.

Qi Baichuan was delayed, afraid that a few small ones would run away, and the old hen would circle a few children.

"Dachuan, the big basket will be buckled in a while, I'll take you to Silly Ba's nest to dig out the bird's nest, haha, have a good meal at night!" Qi Laosi said excitedly to Qi Baichuan.

Jia Qiao'er is also a sparrow, also known as the old thief, Happy Village has wasted a lot of effort in order to get rid of them every year, and the fight is inexhaustible, but it adds a lot of fun to the winter here.

In winter, there is no food to eat, and the family Qiaoer will fly around in groups, and it is best to catch it at this time, it is very hungry, and you will be fooled for anything, and you are afraid of being a starving ghost, and you are not afraid of being caught, anyway, it is better than starving to death.

Qi Laosi made the trap, and led a group of children to a short distance, holding a slingshot to hit the birds, this season to be honest, there is nothing else but Jia Qiao'er. Not to mention, if you hit the thick flock of birds, the blind cat can hit a few dead mice.

Qi Ziqiang didn't look at people small, and he hit two with a special small slingshot.

"My eldest girl is amazing!" Qi Laosi picked up Qi Ziqiang and threw it to his back, Qi Ziqiang climbed onto Qi Laosi's neck in three or two clicks, and rode Qi Laosi to start attacking the birds.

These birds too, if you are beaten, you will change places, they don't, change a branch and then squat there, Qi Ziqiang has hit three family Qiaoer, and they will change two trees next to each other.

"Fourth uncle, is this bird stupid? Don't eat it, you're giving us a stupid meal! Qi Baijun found a clod of soil on the ground and hit the birds.

"This Qiao'er is afraid of gunshots, and they don't want to leave, but they haven't been so stupid before?" Qi Laosi also wondered.

"Go to Silly Baina, his house has made these old thieves make several nests, let's go over there and have a look!" Qi Laosi also lost interest in this group of stupid birds.

"Fourth uncle, I also want a strong son and that slingshot, I'm not good at it!" Qi Baiyue rubbed to Qi Laosi's side and said coquettishly.

"Okay, what's wrong with you?" Qi Laosi asked.

"I can't pull this open." Qi Baiyue said aggrievedly, everyone hit the bird just now, but he didn't hit any of them.

"That's because your hands are weak, go home and make you a new one." Qi Laosi said nonchalantly.

In fact, although this kind of fight hits the birds many times, but the strength is not enough, just to tickle the tricks of others, the hit rate is not high, and it is not too enjoyable, and the birds are faintly suspected of despising them. Qi Laosi turned his head and led them to the stupid eight houses.

Silly eight is a fool in the village, living alone, in winter, the village receives some food and firewood, barely survives, but he also survives, he is not stupid when he arrives, he knows how to find food, and he is stupid and stupid, he does not bully the children in the village, the village accommodates him because he is harmless, if he steals things and beats the children, it is estimated that no one will help him. His house was left by his parents, and after the old couple was gone, this fool slowly learned to cook for himself.

His house is in disrepair for a long time, it has long been dilapidated, and Jia Qiaoer likes to make nests in such a place, and people go to his house every year to dig birds' nests, not to mention that the harvest is not small. Everyone can also take out the bird from other houses, and go to his house to take care of him, and always send him some food after picking out the bird.

"Eight, are you at home?" Qi Laosi shouted into the door.

There was no one in the house, so I guess I went out to find a hot place to stay.

Qi Laosi picked up the ladder on the ground and went up, this ladder is also used by the people in the village to dig birds all year round, the tools are complete, Qi Laosi went up and went to the eaves.

On the ground, Qi Baichuan took the cloth bag and looked up at Qi Laosi, who was busy with his work.

"Dig it out! Ha ha! Qi Laosi grinned and gritted his teeth happily.

Many of Qi Ziqiang's memories are such gray happiness, and when she grows up, most of these memories support her to move hard, no matter how difficult it is, as long as she thinks about going home, she tells herself that it's okay, just go home.
