Su Qingluan could never resist her sister's coquettishness, so she patiently taught her how to skate quickly and steadily on the ice, and even taught her how to spin around without falling.
However, it must be said that in terms of motor skills, Su Xuanhe was indeed better than his sister Su Xueyan. Su Qingluan was clearly guiding his sister step by step, while his brother just watched from the side, with Su Qingluan occasionally giving her a reminder or two, but it was Su Xuanhe who first mastered the essentials of skating.
But this may also be because Su Xueyan is still too young. She sometimes falls even when walking, running and jumping normally on the ground, let alone on the ice?
However, learning slowly is relative - at least Su Qingluan also told her parents the key points of the movements, but the two of them seemed to have been pressed on some strange acupoints, and they dared not move and froze on the ice. Every step they took seemed to be trembling like a newborn deer, and it was very difficult - this was even assuming that they were wearing spiked shoes.
Su Qingluan had suggested that Su Guangfu and Yang take off their spiked shoes and play on the ice together. However, it was clear that Dad and Mom couldn't let go, and could only act like two strange sculptures—only two pairs of eyes staring at the three children, the rest of their bodies frozen and motionless.
Seeing that Su Xueyan was always skating bumpily, which was basically equivalent to providing free manual "cleaning service" on the ice, Su Qingluan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Sister will hold your hand, skate slowly." As she said that, she was about to hold Su Xueyan's hand.
But she soon discovered that if she wanted to slide forward while holding her sister's two hands at the same time, due to the large difference in their heights, Su Qingluan had to stay in an awkward half-squatting position, which made it inconvenient for her to kick her legs backward to exert force.
But if she wanted to adjust the direction, the most comfortable way would be to turn sideways and hold her sister's hand with one hand. However, if she used this posture, then based on the little skating skills that Su Xueyan had learned now, she would definitely not be able to maintain her balance and would have to perform another "floor-wiping magic trick".
After two failed attempts, Su Qingluan called out to Su Xuanhe, who was having a great time playing on the side, "Su Xiaoer, go hold my sister's other hand!"
"Tsk, I've been teaching you for so long, why haven't you learned it yet? You're too stupid..." Although he grumbled in displeasure, Su Xuanhe still took Su Xueyan's other hand. The two older children skated in front, and Su Xueyan held her brother and sister's hands and was led to slide quickly on the ice.
The originally biting cold wind seemed to become interesting, and the ordinary ice surface became a playground for children.
In such an atmosphere, not to mention the two real children, even Su Qingluan, the "fake" child, seemed to have forgotten all worldly possessions in an instant because of the whistling cold wind in her ears and the feeling of speeding under her feet, and could not help but join in the fun.
Yang, who was standing near the shore, sighed with some relief: "Looking at it this way, our eldest daughter finally looks a bit like a child. Look how happy she is..."
Su Guangfu also sighed: "Yes, Daya is a child with a lot on her mind. She's always been polite to us because of the previous incident where the child was taken away by mistake..."
"But that's not her fault!" Yang interrupted her husband.
"I'm not blaming Daya. This is certainly not her fault. I just..." The usually quiet country man was silent for a moment and whispered, "I just hope she can be more carefree like this, and not always look so worried..."
"If there was someone who understood her and was by her side, Daya might talk to him more often..." Yang felt a little guilty when she thought that she could not share some of the pressure on Su Qingluan, and thought about how she got along with her husband.
It was natural for her to think so. After all, no matter what happened in Yang's life that made her uncomfortable or unsolvable, she would discuss it with the man next to her, and the two of them would find a solution to the problem.
"That's true," Su Guangfu sighed. "Next year, Daya will be fourteen. Although we want to keep her for a few more years, as the saying goes, 'Girls can't be kept when they grow up. If you keep them, they'll just turn into enemies'..."
"I just want to know who in the village is worthy of our daughter..."
Yang originally felt guilty because her eldest daughter had been away from her for more than ten years and was recognized halfway through and could not live a life of luxury. In addition, Su Qingluan had become more and more capable in the past six months since she came back, and her appearance had gradually gotten rid of her initial frailty and became graceful. So she always felt that these young men in the village were too weak or too rough, and she disliked them all.
Su Guangfu turned his head and looked at his wife as if he remembered something. "Apart from anything else, Mr. Mu is definitely not an option! We don't know where that guy comes from. If our daughter follows him, she'll suffer!"
Upon hearing this, Yang glared at her husband in anger. "Even if I'm just a farmer, don't I have a little bit of common sense? But our daughter has her own ideas. If she wants to, can we stop her?"
Thinking of this, both the couple felt a headache.
Su Qingluan was having a blast with her brother and sister over here, and she would never have imagined that the content of the seemingly intimate conversation between her parents on the shore at this moment was actually related to the "lifelong event" that she was trying to avoid.
If he could instantly develop super-hearing ears and hear the conversation between the two, I'm afraid the only thing he would want to say is: "Dad, Mom, thinking too much is a disease, it needs treatment!"
However, the actual situation was that she did not have any special hearing ability and heard nothing, so she continued to skate with her younger brothers and sisters.
This time, the two little guys had a lot of fun, and they only reluctantly went back after Su Guangfu and Yang urged them repeatedly. They also made an agreement with Su Qingluan that she would bring them with her next time.
Su Qingluan thought about it and agreed.
Yang sighed: "Hey, Da'er, don't give in to them in everything. What if you spoil them?"
Su Qingluan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll take them both out to play on the ice and go ice fishing at the same time."
"Ice fishing?" Yang looked back at the ice. "Fishing on the ice?"
Su Qingluan nodded: "Dig a hole in the ice near the center of the river, put a fishing rod or fishing net in, and you can catch fish."
“This way we can eat fresh fish!”
"Sister is so amazing!"
When the two little guys heard that there was fresh fish to eat besides pickled and frozen meat, they were very happy.
Su Guangfu was a little worried. "It's freezing cold out here. We couldn't stand it after just a short while on the shore. How long are you going to wait here to catch any fish? It's not worth getting a cold just for two fish."
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "That's why I need my brother and sister's 'help'!"
