Chapter 147 Ice Skating

Wei Mo looked happily at the people in front of him, while Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui were watching his hands intently.

Qian Manman and Li Xiuxiu were sawing wooden boards when he slowly spoke to the group.

"Aunt Manman, you guys saw the planks first, I'll go inside to get some things."

At the same time, he also gave Li Xiuxiu a wink, clearly indicating that he wanted to find the "Dragon King".

Li Xiuxiu paused her work after a moment's thought, and then pondered for a moment.

"I'll go with you!"

Then she stood up, took Wei Mo's little hand, and the two of them went back to their room.

After Wei Mo returned to the room, Li Xiuxiu quickly closed the door. Then, Wei Mo's consciousness entered the online store and began buying iron nails and wire, as well as a dozen or so thick iron skewers.

Assembling the ice sled requires a lot of nails to nail the wooden boards together to form the shape of the ice sled.

Then, install wires on the two tracks under the ice sled. This will reduce the contact area with the ice surface, and the smooth wires will also increase the speed of the ice sled.

Iron skewers are inserted into wooden sticks, one in each hand. They are used to poke the ice surface, creating the momentum for sliding forward.

After Wei Mo had everything ready, he grinned mischievously and spoke to Li Xiuxiu beside him.

"Xiuxiu, my wife, when we go ice skating later, shall we ride together?"

Li Xiuxiu nodded indulgently, looking at the little kid in front of her with a touch of shyness.

"Okay, whatever you say. Let's go out quickly! Your Aunt Manman will be finished sawing the wood soon, and your two older sisters are still waiting outside!"

After Li Xiuxiu finished speaking, she couldn't help but think of Wei Mo's two older sisters, Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui. If she really married Wei Mo in the future, what would she call Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuxiu was stunned, her face turning completely red.

Logically speaking, Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui, as Wei Mo's older sisters, should address the two sisters as "older sisters," but how could Li Xiuxiu bring herself to do so?

Even now, when she has to call Wei Mo "husband," Li Xiuxiu is so embarrassed she can't stand it.

Seeing Li Xiuxiu stunned, Wei Mo tugged at her hand and asked in confusion.

"What are you thinking about? Xiuxiu, tell me, let me be happy, or give you some advice."

Li Xiuxiu came to her senses and looked at Wei Mo awkwardly. She squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and slowly spoke to Wei Mo.

"What do you think I should call you from now on, sister?"

Wei Mo was clearly taken aback when he heard Li Xiuxiu's words. It was really too much to ask Li Xiuxiu to call Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui "sisters," and he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

He scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed towards Li Xiuxiu.

Let's take it one step at a time. We'll talk about it after we're officially married. For now, let's just call each other that. We're still young, and it won't be awkward later.

Li Xiuxiu could only nod and walk outside the yard with Wei Mo, then began assembling the ice skating sled.

Wei Xiaohui and Wei Xiaomin were also helping, holding down the wooden planks for Qian Manman and then gathering them together.

With the help of several people, Wei Mo made the sleds very quickly, and in no time, five sleds were finished.

When Wei Xiaomin finished making the first one, she wanted to run out and play, but seeing that no one else had an ice skating sled, she had to wait for them for a while.

After all the ice skating sleds were finished, Wei Xiaomin shouted to her family members inside the house.

"Grandma, Grandpa, let's go play on the ice for a while, and come back for dinner later."

Hearing Wei Xiaomin's voice from inside the house, Grandpa Yu went out to check and saw that everyone was carrying a small ice sled and ice skewers.

The old man looked at the group of people fully armed and smiled broadly.

"Go play, but be careful not to fall. Xiuxiu and Manman, keep an eye on these three naughty kids."

Li Xiuxiu and Qian Manman nodded awkwardly, then picked up their ice sleds and followed the three little kids towards the river.

In front of the dilapidated temple, the river was covered with a thick layer of snow. If you wanted to go ice skating, you had to clear the snow first.

However, because of the spinning tops made by Wei Mo, the children in the village had cleared a large open space on the river early on, and some children were even playing with the spinning tops.

When they saw Wei Mo arrive, a group of children gathered around him.

"Brother Wei Mo, Brother Wei Mo. What is this again?"

They stared wide-eyed at the ice sled in Wei Mo's hands, filled with envy.

Before Wei Mo could speak, Wei Xiaomin lifted her ice sled and proudly showed it off to the children.

"This is an ice skating sled my brother made for me, isn't it beautiful!"

Wei Mo didn't stop his sister from showing off, but instead pulled Li Xiuxiu and his older sister toward the ice.

The children on the ice had stopped playing with their tops and were watching longingly as Wei Mo sat on the ice sled, then stuck two iron skewers into the ice, and the sled slid forward quickly.

Upon seeing this, Qian Manman immediately hopped on her ice sled and began chasing after it.

Li Xiuxiu and Wei Xiaohui were the same. Wei Xiaomin was still showing off to her friends. When she saw that everyone and her family were already playing, she turned around and shouted to her friends.

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore, I'm going to play too."

The family continued to skate on the ice sled, watching their children with envy. Other children's eyes lit up when they saw the ice sled, and some ran home hoping that their parents would make one for them.

Some children, however, hoped that after their brother Weimo got tired of playing, they could borrow his ice sled so they could play for a while too.

After playing for a while, Wei Mo got bored and lost interest, so he slid the ice sled to the side.

The three siblings, Tian Boguang, Tian Xue, and Tian Yue, ran over quickly, and the other children also came over to join in the fun.

Tian Xue hesitated before speaking to Wei Mo.

"Brother Wei Mo, can I ride your ice sled for a bit?"

Looking at the three siblings in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the outrageous things their father had done. He nodded, and Tian Yue happily took the ice skewers from Wei Mo's hand. Tian Xue hugged the ice sled.

The two sisters laughed heartily, as if they had forgotten their troubles at home, and then thanked Wei Mo.

"Thank you, Brother Wei Mo! You're so kind!"

Wei Mo waved her hand. Then she looked at Li Xiuxiu, who was happily playing on the ice skating sleds, and walked towards her.

Wei Mo had no interest in the two little children in front of him, but the way he looked at Li Xiuxiu was quite different.

He looked at Li Xiuxiu with loving eyes. She was as happy as a child, constantly gliding on her ice sled at a very fast speed.

Wei Mo jogged to the vicinity of the ice surface. The area around the ice surface was covered in snow, so he could run there, but he couldn't run on the ice surface. Then he shouted to Li Xiuxiu.

"Xiuxiu, come over here, I want to get on your ice sled!"

Li Xiuxiu's sled was exceptionally large. After hearing Wei Mo's words, Li Xiuxiu sled over to the little kid.
