Chapter 85 Stop your crazy thoughts!

On the ice, there are little dolls in a wooden basin and wooden boards.

The adults were busy chipping ice and mending nets here, and the children who were forgotten aside also found their own fun.

A wooden basin, a wooden barrel, or even a single piece of wood, as long as it can be used as a cushion under your buttocks, can be used as a ready-made skating tool. You can sit on it and slide down while laughing.

Some of the more playful ones don't even need a cushion; they can just roll three times in place using the flesh on their buttocks and their heavy cotton pants.

It was the first time for the little ones to see this kind of fun, and they surrounded Sang Zhixia with eager eyes.

Xu Mingyang imitated Xu Yanran's shyness but acted coyly and pulled her hand, shaking it and saying in a pinched voice, "Sister-in-law, can we go play for a while?"

"Just a moment! We'll be right back when you call!"

Xu Mingxu was more direct.

He hung on Sang Zhixia's legs like a kangaroo, looked at his lisping sister and his third brother wrapped around Sang Zhixia's arm, and looked up with a pitiful look on his face: "Let's play, let's go play."

Xu Yanran also had an expression of indescribable anticipation on her face, and was obviously very excited.

Sang Zhixia narrowed her eyes, clicked her tongue, and said, "Are you really that restless?"

A few little ones nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

Sang Zhixia waved her hand generously, pointed to a location far away from the ice-cutting area, and said, "Let's go play."

“Ahhhh!”

"Here we come!"

“Charge!”

The little ones, led by Xu Mingyang, rolled and crawled towards the ice surface, and Sang Zhixia followed them with some concern.

It turns out that keeping up is very necessary.

Soon Sang Zhixia started to panic: "Xu Mingyang! Don't slide so fast!"

"Xu Mingxu, you're suppressing your sister!"

"Yanran, come here quickly so I can see if you've hit your face..."

After Xu Yu had used all his energy to cast the net, he had no place to use it. He walked out of the crowd and looked up, and saw Sang Zhixia being pressed on a wooden board by several little ones.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down!"

"Just sit still and we'll push you over there!"

Xu Yanran's martial arts style had become much more bold after practicing for a while. She hugged Sang Zhixia's arm and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't move! It's fun to slide over!"

“That’s right!”

"Sister-in-law, please sit down!"

"I...I don't want to slide!"

Sang Zhixia was pinned to the borrowed wooden board and laughed so hard that she almost choked: "You guys can just play by yourselves, I don't need... Hey hey hey!"

"Xu Mingyang, don't use so much strength!"

"Bang!"

“Fly, fly!”

Xu Mingyang and several people who were standing or lying on the ice exerted force at the same time, and with the help of the little kids who surrounded them, Sang Zhixia, who was trapped on the wooden board, took a deep breath of cold air and rushed out along the board in astonishment.

Seeing this, Xu Yu's heart jumped and pounded in his throat, and he quickly dodged and pounced over!

“Ouch!”

At the moment the wooden board tilted and overturned, Sang Zhixia subconsciously closed her eyes, but what she hit head-on was a soft object.

"Xu Yu?!"

"How did you..."

“Tsk…”

Xu Yu, who had urgently served as a cushion, took a deep breath and covered his waist, then lay on the ice in a big shape.

He tilted his head to look at Sang Zhixia who was lying on the ice, and smiled warmly: "Zhizhi, you should put on the clothes I gave you before skating."

Wear something warmer, so it won't hurt much if you fall.

Sang Zhixia slipped and got up to sit. Looking at Xu Yu who was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe and seemed to be holding his waist to breathe, she burst into laughter.

"No, why are you still..."

"Sister-in-law! We are here to save you!"

The culprits who caused the rollover rushed over all at once, rolling into a heap on the ground halfway through the road.

When they ran closer and saw Xu Yu sitting cross-legged, the little ones who had been trained so hard shuddered reflexively.

Why is Big Brother here?!

Xu Yu took a breath and sat down, waving at them: "Come here."

Xu Mingyang was forced to take the lead, followed by Xu Yanran, who was grabbing each other's clothes, with two smaller ones following behind.

Sang Zhixia was trying to smooth things over, but Xu Yu's next words were, "That's not how you skate."

"Come on, I'll take you home to get the stuff."

Sang Zhixia, still clinging to the wooden plank, sat on the ice and looked up blankly: "What do you mean?"

Xu Yu stood up and held out his hand to her, a smile spreading across his face: "What I mean is, I'll take you guys out to play."

Sang Zhixia was really afraid of their trouble, so she found an excuse not to go back with them.

Not long after, Xu Yu came back with a series of people.

When he made a move, his posture was indeed different from others.

A hemp rope was hung around his shoulders, and an oversized wooden basin was placed on his head.

Xu Mingyang and Xu Yanran followed closely behind, each holding a wooden barrel. When they reached the ice, they attracted the attention of people around them.

Aunt Xu, who was surrounded by people teaching needlework, saw this and said with a smile, "What are they busy with?"

Why did you bring basins and buckets here for no reason?

Xu Wenxiu, who had already witnessed this, covered her mouth and said, "These kids are playing on the ice. I'm afraid it was Yu'er's idea."

Yes, apart from Xu Yu, who else could have thought of making such a big move?

He rushed onto the ice with a string of dolls, found a relatively empty place, and started squatting down to tinker with them.

This prodigal fellow also felt sorry for wasting good things, so he punched a hole in the wooden basin and barrel, passed the hemp rope through the hole, and tied them together into a string.

Then the dolls are stuffed in according to size.

The wooden barrel was just the right size for Xu Mingxu and Xu Jinxi to sit in, while Xu Yanran and Xu Mingyang climbed into the oversized wooden tub very consciously.

Sang Zhixia watched as the corners of his mouth kept curling up, but out of curiosity he took a look and met Xu Yu's smiling eyes.

He waved and said, "Zhizhi, come here."

Sang Zhixia keenly sensed the approaching danger, and with a mixture of horror and amusement, she pointed at herself and asked, "Me?"

"Yeah, you."

She quickly waved her hand and refused: "Forget it, forget it, I won't join you in this fun."

I'm still scared of the somersault I just took.

She really isn't as resilient as these kids.

After saying this, Sang Zhixia ignored the cries of the little kids who were sitting in their respective positions, and tried to retreat to a place where they would not be affected. Xu Yu also moved.

He walked on the slippery ice as if it were flat ground. He rushed over with big strides and grabbed Sang Zhixia's wrist, who refused, with a smile on his face: "The wooden basin is very big, it will fit you in perfectly."

"Come on, I'll take you out to play."

Sang Zhixia shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, I don't want to play!"

"Zhizhi..."

"no."

Sang Zhixia pulled her hands free and crossed them in front of her chest: "You guys can have fun by yourselves, I will..."

"I'll hold your hand and carry you there, or I'll carry you there in front of all these people."

Xu Yu suppressed his laughter and lowered his head, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Or do you want me to hug you?"

Sang Zhixia was stunned by the hot air hitting her ears.

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves and pretended to hug her.

She quickly took a big step back and said in despair, "Stop!"

"Stop your crazy thoughts!"

Since they were hugging and kissing in front of so many people, there’s no need to serve the New Year’s Eve dinner in the village this year.

She is the hottest dish in everyone's mouth!

Sang Zhixia looked timid, as if she was scared. She put Xu Yu's clothes in her arms against his chest, raised her foot and took a step forward. Amid the cheers of the little babies in the buckets and basins clapping their hands, her face was full of determination to sacrifice her life for the little one.

"Hey guys, here I come!"
