Time falls on the river, seemingly rushing in a hurry, but it has always stopped in front of you; This is also the case in Xiaoqinghe Village, where there are many people coming and going on the only small river in the village, but they have only passed through that small river all the time.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve is over, this big and small New Year's taste is still unbearable, and every household has to eat steamed rice cakes for a long time.

It is also said that only this period of the Chinese New Year is the best time to eat, white steamed buns, big steamed buns, in ordinary days, these things are not common in ordinary small households, and only on this festive day, the family will prepare more white buns.

Spring is coming, Uncle Zhang's sow gave birth to a few more piglets, there are a few more sheep cubs in the sheepfold in the east of the village, and his own hen lays a few eggs for the family.

The roads in the village are more or less piled up with a little snow, and those on both sides of the road are more like thousand-year-old scoundrels, no matter how the sun shines in winter, they don't give face, they are piled up in that pile, and they have become a beautiful scenery on the rural dirt road. If the sun is bigger on this day, walking on the side of the road, the reflected light will shine so brightly that people's eyes can't open it.

The people on the river came and went, the water in the river also came and went, and the animals in the river also sprinkled joy, happily and leisurely under the thick ice glass.

If you were to lift a big rock high above the bridge of the river and smash it into the river like that, you might break the ice glass, and if you stood on the other side of the river and smashed it, no matter how big the stone was, it wouldn't work, unless you were strong enough, of course!

Poof, I made a big hole in the ice, and after a while, I saw that a few small fish under the hole were planning to jump up and find food.

There are very few ice holes on the surface of the river, and some only have one or two, which is just that some people who are idle at home really have nothing to do, so they come to poke an ice hole on the river to tease the small fish inside.

Lin Muchen also had nothing to do at home that day, and when he came to the river, he picked up a big stone and threw it into the river without saying a word.

The ice glass on the surface of the river is still very strong.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Muchen picked up a bigger stone and threw it towards the ice, but the stone was bounced off like last time.

Lin Muchen wondered at this time: "What's the matter, I have used such a big stone, and this ice glass still can't be broken?" ”

"Hey, look at me!" Lin Muchen picked up a larger stone, raised it with one hand, ran forward with all his strength, and smashed it into the river.

At this time, the protective shield of the small river compromised, and a hole was cracked, and the white slag on it was everywhere, but it still did not break through the protective line of the ice glass.

After stopping for a while, Lin Muchen seemed to see something, so he hurriedly ran towards the small bridge over the small river, where there was really a big hole.

"Maybe it's someone who has nothing to do?"

Whatever, as long as he smashed such a thick ice glass.

Lin Muchen ran to the big hole and looked inside. There was nothing, only several stones piled up under the hole.

"It may be that person is afraid that the ice glass will be broken, and he wants to put the stone in it and step on his feet!"

Lin Muchen didn't think about anything, he just wanted to see what was in the ice glass noodles, but he heard that the fish and shrimp in winter would show their heads in the ice hole.

Lin Muchen will take a plastic bag when he comes this time, this kid probably wants to catch a small fish and go back, right?

Squatting on top of the ice glass for a long time, he didn't see the small animals in the river to play, and Lin Muchen couldn't help but feel a little lost.

There are a lot of people in the family, but none of them are particularly liked by him, there are many relatives in the family, some of whom are not often dealt with, some of whom Lin Muchen has never seen, and some of whom are Lin Muchen's aunts and uncles.

Although this kind of kinship is particularly clear, it just can't go there. At home, it is nothing more than to ask Lin Muchen if he has gone to school and how his academic performance is, and he has nothing to say after a few words of greeting.

After Lin Muchen accepted the greetings from his relatives, he sneaked out and squatted on the river alone for a long time.

"Brother, why are you here? Everyone in the family is looking for you! ”

This is Lin Muchen's little sister, but not pro, this little sister belongs to her uncle's family. The uncle's two sons had a daughter, but the two didn't want to have another child, so the aunt went to her sister to hold a twin to adopt. Mother is Hao, aunt is also Hao, uncle and aunt are both surnamed Hao, it is quite interesting to get a name for the little sister, at that time the level of education in the family was quite low, only the uncle went to school for a few years, and it took several days to give the little sister such a name, just called Hao Okay! I hope she will be okay in the future, this implication is still good, but the name is quite awkward to pronounce.

When my little sister was in school, every time she made a mistake, the teacher nominated her, and she still read Hao Hao, and after reading Hao Hao, she didn't know how to criticize her, which always had an indescribable feeling.

Lin Muchen met this little sister a few times when he was a child, and they were both young at that time, but they hadn't met in the past few years, but as long as they met, these two people could play together, and they played so well. Although the two of them were still a little rusty at first, they played quite easy-going later.

When Lin Muchen heard that it was his little sister, his originally bitter and tasteless mood suddenly improved.

Lin Muchen: "Oh, it turned out to be a little sister, why are you here?" ”

Hao Hao: "That, everyone in the family is looking for you, so I'll come out too." ”

Lin Muchen: "Are the family looking for it?" Is it the kind of person who comes out of the house to find me? ”

Hao Hao: "No, it's just that the family asked where you went at home, and I couldn't find you, so I was a little worried, so I came out too." ”

Hao Hao: "Oh, when I came out, I said that I would go out to find you, and by the way, I would play with you!" ”

Lin Muchen: "You scared me, I thought my family was looking for me, thinking that I lost it?" ”

Hao Hao: "How can there be, this is your village, where else can you throw it away?" ”

Lin Muchen: "This is the village where I live, not my family's village, so if I say so, then I am not the boss of this village, and I can do whatever I want." ”

Hao Hao: "Haha, look at your more serious energy, I won't just say the wrong thing." ”

Lin Muchen: "Don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Hao Hao: "It's okay, you will always be my boss, and my Hao Hao will always be the little brother of the eldest brother, oh no, it's the little sister." ”

Lin Muchen's heart blossomed, he deserved to be his sister, there were so many relatives during the New Year's holidays, Lin Muchen only liked to have fun with Hao.

Lin Muchen immediately put away the smile on his face: "That's okay, then you are a little sister, but you must remember to protect your eldest brother, you often come to play with me, you only come once a year, and you are about to suffocate me to death!" ”

Hao Hao: "How can there be a little sister to protect the eldest brother, are you a big brother for nothing?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? I don't care, I want you to protect me, if you don't care, I'll cry to you, and then tell my aunt, saying that you bullied me, I see what you will do then? ”

Hao Hao was about to cry to Lin Muchen as he spoke.

Lin Muchen: "Okay, okay, don't toss, I, as a big brother, I will protect you!" ”

Hao Hao heard Lin Muchen speak, and knew that Lin Muchen was a subdued person, and made a grimace at Lin Muchen: "Giggles, you just can't do anything about me, right?" you off! ”

Lin Muchen: "No, I'm not angry, I'm angry, who wants to protect you?" ”

Hao Hao looked disgusted.

"I'll just say casually, don't take it too seriously, after all, a strong girl like me is still rare in the world!"

Lin Muchen: "You still know that you are rare in the world, a disobedient person like you, who can play tricks on people, I'm afraid you're the only one!" ”

…………

The two of them were talking and laughing, playing on the still firm river, I don't know how long it was, the two of them were playing in full swing, and it seemed that they had escaped the time limit.

The warm winter sun is still hanging in the air, but it is the most outdoor heating method in winter, at this time he is useless, the wind in winter is still relatively gentle, even if it is gently stroked from your body, you will feel the slightest coolness.

Looking at it, the mountain is still the same mountain, the tree is still the same tree, the source of the stream is still in the small river, the two children are still standing on the river, and the sun on duty is also off work, I don't know when the two children will go back, but when they look at the river again, the figures of the two children have disappeared.

The stream flowed freely underneath the ice glass, rumbling, and listening to the sound of the ice glass breaking in the distance, it was particularly crisp and encircled in the valley.

The next day, Lin Muchen's family saw off their relatives who came yesterday, and the weather temperature was slowly rising.

Hao Hao: "Brother, I'm leaving, see you next year!" ”

Lin Muchen: "I hope you will come often in the future, don't wait until this time of the Chinese New Year." ”

Lin Muchen wanted to say something, but was stopped by his mother.

Mother Lin: "Okay, then you go back, slow down on the road, and pay attention to safety." ”

Mother is just trying to say goodbye to her relatives.

The uncle dragged Hao Hao away, slowly disappearing over there, slowly getting smaller and smaller, more and more blurry, until he couldn't see the figure clearly.

Mother Lin: "Go back, why are you still standing here, have you finished your homework?" Hurry back to your homework. ”

Lin Muchen had no choice but to go back with a reluctant face.

The warm sun in winter is also very breezy, and when the sun rises at three poles, it will always melt the snow and ice, although they will be united again after a night, but it is still useless.

Most of the houses in the countryside are tiled houses, and it looks like there is some unmelted snow on the roof, which falls at noon.
