Chapter 50: The Growing Heart

I was interested in this rope because I saw Zhuo Yiming tie the rope around his waist, and then slowly unscrew the sluice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I asked him what he was doing here. He told me with a smile that when the water is released from the gate, a whirlpool will form at the outlet, and sometimes he is afraid of sucking people's feet in. If you have this rope, it will be much safer when adults release water here. Then he saw that I was very interested, and he also specially instructed me not to play at the gate with my friends, because it was too dangerous here.

Zhuo Yiming's reminder reminded me of another thing, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited. In the afternoon, I went over to look, and sure enough, the gate for releasing the water had been closed, and the rope was placed on the stone ladder beside it, and one end was wrapped around the iron pillar by the sluice. Seeing that there was no one around, I carefully descended from the stone staircase into the water. As I clung to the rope, I saw that the water was just up to my neck.

The current was not very fast, but it was a big adventure for me who couldn't swim. But seeing that it's really safe to pull the rope makes me happy. Yes, I just wanted to wrap myself around the rope and try to learn to swim with the rope tied. It's a stupid idea, but it's definitely a shot in the arm. I didn't stay in the water for long, and I went home excited.

I haven't learned how to swim yet, but I'm already inexplicably excited. I was actually looking forward to something, but I certainly didn't dare to tell anyone else, but I fantasized that one day I would be like a fish in water.

The villagers are bored at night, but now that there is a TV, everyone has a lot more entertainment.

My grandparents seemed to know that I would go to Grandpa Niu's house with Huayuan and them to watch TV, and they must have eaten after eight o'clock every night, and they were also at ease with me at that time, because I have always been very obedient. Every time I saw that Huayuan's family hadn't eaten, I would run to Yonghui's house to wait for her. If Yonghui's family didn't eat, I would sneak to the path next to her house, where I could walk to the dirt road to the canal.

It was probably during those days that I walked this path more and more, and every time I did it sneakily. Actually, I'm afraid of being seen, because some time ago, I found a good place here. Because it makes me more and more bold, because I just want to find places that others can't see!

The foundation of Hua Yuan's house has helped me a lot, because her brick house has not yet been built, but the layout of the first floor has been laid. Follow here to the canal at the bottom of the hill behind, and no one will see it. Especially the huge red brick kiln, not only can I hide my small figure, but I can also hide in that cave at any time.

Why am I so excited, because when I look down on the path on the side of the red brick kiln, it is right opposite the back door of Shen Su's house. Her house was built next to the foot of the mountain, right under this canal. The most important thing is that I observed it carefully later, even if I stood on the side of Shen Su's back door and looked carefully, I couldn't see the situation here at all. What's more, when she went to the canal, she had to walk dozens of meters along the slope of the grove behind the house.

At this time, there was no one on the side of this dirt road, and her family was the last one in the village near Yaoju Village, and my grandmother's house was the last one near the Hongyangtang. For the sake of this favorable terrain, one day I deliberately ran to the stone staircase behind the kiln and carefully looked at the area where she usually moves.

I thought I would be extra excited about this summer, but to my disappointment, I waited here secretly for a few days, and every time I started I thought she was the same as the one I met that day, and she had already washed up in the afternoon. But when I went to see her in the afternoon, I found no sign of her. Even I saw Hosono and Snow Garden, but I didn't see her appear.

I'm sure she's at home, but it's strange why she didn't come out. On both occasions, I waited for nearly an hour and didn't see Shen Su come out. On two occasions, I saw her open the back door and splash water outside, but I didn't see her come out and walk up the hill. In the end, I had to go to Yonghui's house again in disappointment, because she was usually busy until nearly nine o'clock before she could go to Niu Ye's house.

But what makes me happy is that I don't know if she is really going to be busy until that time, or if she is deliberately waiting for me, Yonghui often waits for me to go with me, which makes me a little more dependent.

Going to Grandpa Niu's house not only watched TV, but also listened to everyone chatting. I have listened to a lot of gossip, but it is nothing more than the strangeness of the village, and the parents of each family are short. To my surprise, Shen Su never seemed to watch TV, but the rest of her family did. The days are slowly circulating, as if the school year is getting closer and closer after the summer vacation, but the anticipation in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Every time I have the courage to go to the gate, I don't even run into an adult once. There was no progress in learning to swim, but to my surprise, I was able to squat in the water and hold my breath for more than ten seconds. It was really unintentional, but I was able to hold my breath more and more, and I found that one good thing was that my fear of water was not as strong as it was at the beginning!

At the beginning of mid-August, I received letters from my father and mother. Although the words in the letter were all concerned, I didn't pay much attention to it. That kind of care that is not around is a kind of torture for me! I feel like I've grown up and I'm taking care of everything on my own day. Occasionally, my grandfather would tell me to keep exercising, but he never restrained me.

I have a lot of secrets in my heart, and although I never mention them to others, I find that I seem to be much more sensible than my peers. Not only did he gradually dislike playing with them, but he also secretly did everything by himself.

It is worth mentioning that later I heard Qiu'er tell me again, saying that a woman was inquiring about how many children there were in our compound. I remembered the events of that day, but I wondered in my heart, could that person really want to trouble me? However, she has never been to the compound, so there must be no reason, and she usually doesn't have much interaction with this side.

But one day, my uncle suddenly said that their art team was going to get together. I didn't care about it at first, but I was really shocked when he showed off the photo of them back then. Because I saw that the golden branch was in it, but she was obviously the youngest standing inside. In the black and white photos, she looks more delicate and beautiful, and there is a woman in the middle who looks quite like her, and I knew casually that it was her other cousin Yuye.

The reason why I was nervous was because my uncle said that they hadn't been together for several years and that he wanted to invite them all to come back. Uncle insisted so much, it was because there was also a Yuxian among these people, and Shen Su's husband Shuangyuan, they were all people in the compound. I was worried that this woman was coming, and suddenly remembered something, so I asked my uncle, didn't the Shuangyuan go out to the province with people?

The uncle didn't think so, maybe there was no one else around, so he said that Shuangyuan was reluctant to be a guest in his cousin, and besides, how could there be such a good mix outside, he would definitely come back soon. When I heard this, I felt a little nervous. It's as if it wasn't those two people who secretly did bad things, but I did something unseemly.

Grandpa was also there at the time, and when he saw my sullen appearance, he didn't think about anything else, and pulled me over to ask me how I was doing during this time. I didn't dare to hide it from him, and besides, it was naturally a good thing to be in good health, not to mention that I really memorized those two mantras. As for the slow boxing method, I never thought it was a boxing method, and I was always ashamed to think of it in front of people, and I was embarrassed to say it slowly.

There was another unexpected thing during this time, and the only thing that made me very happy, that is, Rose heard Yonghui say that I was running, and she actually said that she wanted to run on a whim. Although I didn't ask Yonghui why, I was still very happy when she mentioned it to me, because I hadn't seen her since my uncle's house came back. And Rose and Yonghui said that they would run opposite me in the morning, and she came to our village, and we met in the middle of the road!

In the years of growth, ignorance is also a kind of happiness, because ignorance is a little more expected. Unexpectedly, it was still true, we met on the dirt road this morning.

The land under the dirt road is mostly in our village, and the soil on the hillside above the dirt road is the majority in Yaoju Village, which is the location of the junction of our two villages.

But when I saw the roses, I didn't know what to say, and besides, it was still morning, so it was really cramped. Rose didn't speak, just was silent for dozens of seconds, and Rose suddenly asked me how I remembered to run in the morning. I was stunned for a moment, saying that running can make my body stronger, and I am too short to exercise to grow faster.

When Rose heard me, she giggled, gestured to our height, and smiled contemptuously, "Can you be as tall as me soon?" "My face flushed all of a sudden, in fact, I was already as tall as the tips of her ears, but boys are shorter than girls, which is an embarrassing thing. I wanted to say that I was younger than her, but I suddenly thought of something, so I stopped what I was about to say and said, "People say that girls don't grow up until middle school!" ”

Sure enough, it was like stepping on a rabbit's tail with these words, and Rose almost jumped up and pointed at me and asked if she was cursing her. How dare I admit it, so I had to whisper that adults say so, and I said with an idea: "Look at your two sisters, aren't your second sisters not long?" These words suddenly made Rose look at me like a deflated ball, and grabbed my arms on both sides.

She was so ruthless, not only pinched, but also twisted half a circle. I was so hurt that tears came out, but I didn't move when I stood in front of her.
