59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Essentials for ice skating in Shichahai: gloves, hats, and wooden skates!

"Big Pot, I don't want to wear these shoes. They don't look good!"

The little girl, wearing thick rabbit fur, white gloves and a rabbit head hat, held her head high and felt that the thick black flat cotton shoes her big brother gave her did not match her cuteness at all!

What level!

"You can't pull other shoes, my silly sister."

Chen Feng also put on similar equipment. Nowadays, ordinary people don't have such a thing as ice skates. When people go to Shichahai to skate, most of them use flat cloth shoes and then put special wooden boards on the bottom as ice skates.

There are two major ice skate brands on the market, "Tianjin's shoes, Heilong's knives", among which "Heilong" is a brand of ice skates produced by the state-owned Heilongjiang Hardware Factory.

In the past, children wore wooden skates.

In 1958, during a comparative test of ice skates at the Autumn Canton Fair, the "Black Dragon" ice skates cut through foreign-made skates, becoming famous overnight and the "top-tier" domestic ice skates at the time.

However, a pair of real ice skates costs thirty or forty yuan, which is almost two months' salary for an ordinary worker. It is a real high consumption. Even for high-income families, several people often share a pair of ice skates and take turns skating.

Chen Feng also saw second-hand Tianjin ice skates in the consignment store, twenty yuan a pair!

More expensive than a radio!

can not afford!

Let’s use traditional wooden skates!

"Big Pot, I'm not stupid!" Chen Li corrected very seriously.

"Yeah, so do you want to wear these shoes?" Chen Feng said with a smile, touching the rabbit's head.

You know what, this rabbit fur feels pretty good to the touch.

"I'm so smart, of course I wear it!"

In order to be able to skate, Chen Li replaced the cute white rabbit leather shoes that the old lady had specially made for her.

"Brother, are you ready?" Fatty Wang asked, sticking his head out of the bedroom door.

"Wait, all that's left is for Lily to put on her shoes." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Cai Jiaxing and the others are here too, waiting outside to set off together." Fatty Wang said, "Lily, please don't fall down, or you'll embarrass us."

"Hmph, I won't!" Chen Li glared at Fatty Wang angrily. Her hands moved quickly. She had learned to put on her shoes by herself and became a sensible little girl who was about to grow up.

Chen Feng took his sister out of the house. A group of children were laughing and chatting in the yard. When they saw the leading brother and sister coming out, they hurried to greet them.

Nowadays, going to Shichahai to skate in winter was once the "most fashionable social activity". When many people met, they no longer greeted each other by asking "Have you eaten?" but "Classmate, have you ever been to Shichahai to skate?"

"Lily, you're so pretty!"

A large group of children said similar things, praising the little girl so much that her nose was almost up to the sky.

"Xiao Feng, keep an eye on your sister!"

In the past, Zhou Qing would definitely not agree with the little ones going ice skating.

There are many reasons.

For example, it is easy to fall, or the child may get sick, or the child is too young, etc.

However, over the past year or so, no one in the family has been sick, not even the highly contagious cold of winter. This made Zhou Qing reluctantly agree to let Chen Feng take the little girl to the skating rink for fun after he guaranteed it.

Don’t underestimate the common cold. Even under the leadership of Dachuan, which claims to be the beacon of civilization in the 21st century, it can kill tens of thousands of people!

The latter was praised by his own Attorney General as the great commander who banned Oriental Pharmaceuticals from purchasing 2100 million fentanyl tablets and saved 2100 million people in the United States!

Even Wei Xiaobao, created by Cha Baoyi, would feel ashamed of himself if he saw this flattery!

"Ok!"

Chen Feng said with a smile, glanced at Hu Bayi, and asked, "Have you brought all the wooden boards?"

The wooden skates on the soles of your shoes need to be put on after you arrive at the park.

"Bring it!"

"go!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go ice skating!"

A group of children were shouting in a mess. Only children over five years old could participate in this activity, and they had to be accompanied by older brothers or sisters who were eight or nine years old.

Forget about it if you are under five years old!

These days, catching a cold in children is no small matter!

“Wow, so many people!”

Chen Li was holding her elder brother's hand and followed him obediently. She felt a little excited when she saw people sliding on the frozen lake.

This was her first time participating in this kind of skating activity!

Learn to skate

"Brother, there's an empty spot here. Let's change our shoes first." Chen Hao said as he ran to occupy a large rock by the lake.

There is no way, the benches for viewing the lake have already been occupied.

Chen Feng glanced around and found that there were not many people here today.

Yes, the little girl felt that there were a lot of people, but that was because it was her first time here and she had never seen a really crowded crowd!

As the largest natural ice rink in the city with a long history, Shichahai Ice Rink has unique natural conditions and carries the ice and snow memories of generations.

There is a saying in old Beijing: "The blue waves of the five lakes and the water of the four seas cannot compare to the beauty of the ice rink in Shichahai."

Every year when the skating rink opens, countless children cry and shout, forcing their parents to take them here to play!

At its peak in 1953, the Shichahai Ice Rink received 7.8 people a day.

Just imagine what the scene would be like if 70,000 to 80,000 people were playing here?

In later generations, during military training at universities, a playground could only accommodate thousands of people for training!

"Big Pot, why are their shoes different from ours?" Chen Li quickly discovered that the ice skates worn by a little girl next to her were different from her wooden skates.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Any shoes that can slide will do. Different shoes are different."

A group of people installed wooden 'ice skates' on the edge, and then walked happily onto the frozen lake.

It has snowed for seven consecutive days, and the thickness of the ice on the Shichahai side has already exceeded several dozen centimeters. Even a heavy truck can drive in from the shore without any problem.

Chen Feng helped his sister up and taught her how to keep a stable center of gravity. In fact, the little girl learned footwork and martial arts from her three brothers, and went to a sports school to learn dancing, so she had a natural advantage in this regard.

It only took him a few days to learn how to ride a bicycle. He put on wooden skates and skated on the ice. In just one minute, he had learned simple slow skating and even performed a dance.

"Big pot, hahahaha, I learned it!"

"Am I very smart?"

"Well, Lily is the smartest!" Chen Feng praised with a smile.

Li Jie, who was being led by Cai Xiaoli, and Zhu Zhu, who was being taught by Zhu Lin, were very envious and their little hearts were eager to make a move.

"Second sister, I want to skate by myself too!"

Zhu Zhu watched Lily slide away and felt that she could go up too.

"Are you sure?" Zhu Lin looked at her silly sister with great suspicion, thinking that this was not a good suggestion.

"I'm very smart!" Little Zhuzhu was full of confidence.

"Okay then!" Zhu Lin smiled and let go of her hand, allowing her to slide.

Zhu Zhu, who was fine just now, suddenly felt a little unstable without her sister's help.

"Oh no, sister, help me!"

It was too late. Before Zhu Lin could catch her, the little girl fell down on the spot.

"Wow, wow, big sister, second sister is bullying me!"

Zhu Zhu touched her little butt and cried with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Lin was so angry that she wanted to change her sister!

Stupid and dumb kids are really the most annoying!
