Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

After waking up from an afternoon nap, Jiang Yu wrapped himself in a big cotton-padded jacket. Like every villager in Northeast China, he was chubby and walked around the village, making crunching sounds as he stepped on the snow.

Old Liu's family members were busy taking advantage of the good weather today. When the ginger and fish arrived, only Old Liu's wife was walking around in the kitchen.

"Aunt Liu, is Uncle Liu at home?" Jiang Yu asked while standing outside the gate.

Old Liu came out wiping his hands with his apron and said, "I went up the mountain to pick wood. Come in, what does Master Jiang want to change today?"

"Do you have any wooden boards? Wider ones." Jiang Yu gestured the width.

Old Liu took her into the material storage room and said, "That's the wide wood. Check to see if there's anything you want."

Jiang Yu was not polite. It was not his first time here. He went straight to get the planks he wanted. "I want to exchange for 4 first. How much?"

Old Liu thought for a moment and said, "You can give me 10 cents first, and I will refund you if there is more, and I will ask my old man to come find you when he comes."

"Okay!" Jiang Yu took out a ten-cent note from his pocket and handed it to her, then went home carrying the wooden board.

Because it was cold, the educated youth in the backyard basically stayed in their rooms and did not go out. Jiang Yu turned on the radio and adjusted the volume to a suitable level, which would not disturb others but cover up the noise in her room. Then she took out the sander in the space and started polishing the wooden board.

The two ends of the ski board need to be raised, and Jiangyu performed plastic surgery on it by roasting it over fire while ensuring that the board would not be ignited.

She was busy like this until dark, when Xue Li came and knocked on the door, asking her to go to Wu Aiqing's place for dinner.

After finishing a big bowl of hot pork noodle soup, everyone went back to their rooms with full stomachs.

After Jiang Yu waited until it was quiet outside, she took out all her snacks and gave two pieces of each to Yi Chi. She didn't stop until both lunch boxes were full. Then she went out with a simple skateboard with holes punched and a rope threaded through it.

Yi Chi had been waiting for Jiang Yu, who was a man of his word, and would definitely not break his promise to come in the evening. So he held Tuanzi in his arms, reading a book while waiting.

Sure enough, not long after, a rustling sound was heard outside, and someone was walking towards us on the snow.

Yi Chi opened the door before Jiang Yu knocked on it, "Come in quickly."

Jiang Yu walked into the house carrying her skis and a small basket. Suddenly, a warm feeling came over her, making her shiver subconsciously.

Seeing this, Yi Chi quickly handed her a cup of hot water and said, "It's even colder at night. Don't go out after dark."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes but didn't agree. Night was so nice. It was late at night and quiet, the best time to go out and do bad things!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yi Chi followed her lead and put the snacks she brought into the cupboard. He also took out two pieces of smoked fish and gave them to her. "You can eat this after it's steamed. It goes well with rice."

Jiang Yu took the basket and moved his nose. It was fish smoked with pine branches, and it smelled delicious. "I'll try it tomorrow."

As it was getting late, the two didn't waste any more time. After chatting for a while, Jiang Yu went out.

Yi Chi watched her remove the wooden board behind her, step on it, and then tie the rope around her ankles to secure it. After moving it a few times to make sure it was not uncomfortable, Jiang Yu waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving." She exerted force on the wooden stick in her hand and slid out.

Yi Chi watched her disappear like the wind halfway down the hillside, and suddenly became curious about the two wooden boards! They seemed very interesting.

Jiang Yu kept adjusting her posture and soon became proficient. After all, during the snow season in her previous life, her means of transportation changed from bicycles to skis. With years of accumulation, she has reached the master level in this technique.

The next day, when Xue Li saw the snowboard, he was extremely surprised and said, "I want one too! Jiang Yu, I want to play with it too!"

When the others heard the noise, they swarmed out as well. Soon the small group was assembled. Xue Li excitedly went out with the skis that Jiang Yu handed to her, and ran towards the flat, deserted slope.

Behind her, Chen Jinghan kept repeating to her to be careful like an old mother, while following her closely for fear that she would fall down.

Xiong Lijin and Fu Biao were inspired and began to discuss raising dogs and making sleds.

Wu Aiqing had to pour cold water on them, "We are already famous enough in the village, so let's forget about raising a dog. People will gossip about us later." People can't have enough food to eat, and they still want to raise a dog...

"Then I'll raise geese! Raise geese to pull my sled!" Fu Biao could have nothing in his life except this rebellious character.

Why should I be deprived of my fun just because the villagers want to gossip? It's just gossip! I'll raise some geese to kill them!

Wu Aiqing was shocked by his train of thought. His first reaction was not to say he was fooling around, but to wonder, "Can the geese obey orders? Don't let them pull the cart and throw you into the mountains."

A few people were chatting aimlessly.

Halfway up the mountain, Xue Li tied the rope of the ski board with the help of Chen Jinghan. Holding the wooden stick in his hand, he exerted force and "Wuhu~" took off!

Fu Biao looked at Xue Li's curvy figure, his eyes sparkling! "I want to play too! I want to play too!"

"Line up!" Xiong Lijin started running, but the snow was very deep, and he took one deep step and one shallow step. His glasses fell off due to running, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Fu Biao laughed sarcastically, then used his hands and feet to surpass him.

What kind of large-scale human regression is this?

Jiang Yu and Wu Aiqing stared at the two men's antics in amazement.

Xue Li was frightened by the weirdo below, drew a big C to avoid the two people, and laughed while preparing to brake, "What are you doing!"

Jiang Yu also laughed, "Hurry up and run with your skateboard, they are trying to snatch it from you!"

Xue Li was shocked when he heard that. I haven't had enough fun yet! He forgot about the skis on his feet and started running away with difficulty.

Chen Jinghan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, not to mention that his good brother actually stood up and went after Xue Li. He immediately rushed down, "Don't run! Be careful..." He didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground headfirst. The next second, Chen Jinghan thought quickly and relaxed his body, rolling down from halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, he bumped into Xiong Lijin, who thought he was smart and ran halfway to intercept him. The two of them rolled straight to the foot of the mountain, one in front of the other.

Wu Aiqing and Jiang Yu were laughing so hard that their faces broke. Xue Li ran like a duck, twisting his body to avoid Fu Biao, who was using his hands and feet, and burping so hard that his stomach hurt from laughing.

Bursts of laughter came from the small hill at the end of the village.

Yi Chi was wrapped in a military coat, standing behind a tree and looking in this direction with the same happy smile on his face.

Although it was freezing cold outside and their heads were covered with snow, they all forgot about their little worries at this moment and crawled and rolled around in the snow, sweating all over their backs in the low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero.

Yi Chi returned to the cabin, took out two pieces of old ginger and a bag of brown sugar, and planned to find an opportunity to give them to Jiang Yu. After being frozen all day, he needed something to warm his body to avoid catching a cold.

Jiang Yu didn't let him wait for long. She knew that this person was standing on the mountain watching, and when she saw him coming back, she guessed that Yi Chi might have something to tell her, so she ran over to find him halfway.
