Chapter 113 Ice Skating



An old man took the clothes with trembling hands and said in a choked voice: "Comrade Yuexi, how can we repay you..."

Lin Yuexi smiled and comforted him: "Uncle, don't say that. Waiting for everyone to get better will be the greatest reward for me."

As the sky gradually darkened, the cowshed was finally repaired.

The new cowshed is spacious and sturdy. Each cowshed is equipped with a coal stove and a kettle. The fire in the coal stove is burning brightly, making the entire cowshed warm.

The "five black categories" in the cowshed had a good winter for the first time in several years. It's a pity that Lao Zhang's wife could no longer experience it and has already slept in the mountains.

Seeing that everything had been done, Lu Cheng, Zhao Gang and Lin Yuexi left after leaving the food.

From then on, Lin Yuexi provided supplies and Zhao Gang provided manpower, and they insisted on delivering food and drink to these people. The little red soldiers were a little afraid of Zhao Gang and did not dare to cause trouble for the people in the cowshed.

These people persisted until the reform and opening up and made great contributions to the country. Of course, this is a story for later.

In Lucheng, Lin Yuexi returned home very late. She was worried that the two little ones were hungry.

What Lu Ziyan didn't expect was that Lu Xiyun not only made noodles for herself, but also made a bowl for her parents.

Lin Yuexi looked at the two bowls of noodles on the table, which did not look exquisite but were made with love, and her eyes couldn't help but become slightly red.

She gently touched Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun's heads and said softly, "Baby, you are so sensible. Mom and Dad are really touched."

Lu Ziyan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Mom, we saw that you and Dad didn't come back so late, so we thought of cooking for ourselves. We can't let you come back hungry."

Lu Xiyun also echoed: "Yes, yes, I also helped my brother!"

Lu Cheng smiled and hugged the two children into his arms, laughing heartily: "Okay, okay! Our two little darlings have grown up and can take care of mom and dad."

The whole family sat around the table, eating these noodles full of warmth. Although it was just a simple home-cooked taste, it made everyone feel extremely satisfied.

In the evening, heavy snow fell again, and soon the whole world was covered with silver.

Inside the house, after the family finished eating noodles, they felt warm and the wind and snow outside seemed to be isolated by this cozy atmosphere.

Lin Yuexi got up to clean up the dishes, while Lu Cheng sat by the stove with the two children and told them those ancient and wise stories.

Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun listened attentively, staring at their father without blinking, and occasionally asked a few naive questions, which made Lu Cheng laugh.

Lin Yuexi came back from cleaning the kitchen and looked at this scene, her heart filled with happiness.

She walked over quietly, sat down by the fire, picked up an unfinished sweater, and began to knit stitch by stitch in the warm fire.

This is a new sweater prepared for Lu Ziyan. I thought that during the Chinese New Year, the child would be able to wear the new clothes knitted by his mother.

The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was howling, making the window paper rustle. But the warmth in the house was not reduced at all, and the family was immersed in this quiet and beautiful time.

In this way, the snow fell tirelessly all night long.

When people get up in the morning, what appears before their eyes is a world covered in silver, like a fairy tale.

The eaves are covered with icicles of varying lengths and thicknesses. They are like sharp swords, sparkling with crystal clear light under the sunlight.

The trees were bent by the ice and snow, and thick snow piled on the branches. Each branch looked like a carefully carved work of art, furry and heavy.

Just gently shake the tree trunk, and snowflakes and icicles will fall down, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

The snow on the ground had already reached above the ankles, and it made a crunching sound when I stepped on it.

The originally flat road became bumpy, and the icy road surface was as smooth as a mirror. People walked carefully, fearing that they would slip if they were not careful.

The water in the pond and the river were also frozen by the severe cold, turning into a huge ice mirror. The ice surface reflected dazzling light, which made people dare not look directly at it.

The children in the village began to get excited and started skating in the ponds and on the river. Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were also excited to go out skating.

Lin Yuexi had no choice but to help them put on thick cotton coats, cotton shoes, hats and gloves.

Lu Cheng was worried about the two of them going out, so naturally he wanted to go with them. Since the three of them were going, it would be better for the whole family to go.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi also went out fully armed, and the family of four walked towards the river. After walking for a while, they met Lu Xiaomei from his second brother's family, so the family of four became a family of five.

The family came to the river and saw the wide ice surface reflecting the dazzling light under the sunlight, like a huge mirror spread flat on the ground.

There were already quite a few children playing and laughing on the ice around. Their laughter echoed in the cold air, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this silver world.

Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun excitedly broke free from the adults' hands and couldn't wait to step onto the ice.

Lu Cheng hurriedly reminded: "Be careful, don't run too fast!" The two children responded with their mouths, but their feet seemed to have wind and they slid out happily.

Lu Xiaomei was more shy. She held Lin Yuexi's hand and followed her carefully onto the ice.

Lu Cheng followed the children, keeping an eye on their every move. Lu Ziyan was like a nimble little monkey, darting left and right on the ice, making a sharp turn, and then trying to skate on one foot.

Lu Xiyun was a little immature. She stared at her feet, moved slowly, and tried hard to maintain her balance.

Suddenly, Lu Ziyan failed to brake and slid towards a thin ice at the edge of the ice surface.

Lin Yuexi's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she shouted loudly: "Zi Yan, stop now!"

But at this time Lu Ziyan could no longer control his body. With a "crack" sound, a crack appeared on the ice surface.

Lu Ziyan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stood there not daring to move.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng immediately ran towards Lu Ziyan. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, stand still!"

The children around were also frightened by this sudden situation. They stopped playing and gathered at a distance.

Lu Cheng ran to a place a few steps away from Lu Ziyan, lay on the ice, and slowly crawled towards his son.

Lin Yuexi stared at the father and son on the ice without blinking.

Lu Xiaomei and Lu Xiyun were so scared that they hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes.
