Subversion of Rebirth

Chapter 5 Summer Swimming

The first summer of Lin Xiao's rebirth is coming soon, and Xia Chan in the village is chirping non-stop.The little children in the village got into the cool river to swim and fight in water.

Brother Xiao Linjian hasn't learned how to swim yet, but he is very jealous that his friends can swim happily in the cool river, so he begged his grandfather to teach him how to swim.Lin Xiao is naturally also a loyal follower. In her previous life, her swimming skills were average, and she could only do the most common dog crawling style.In this life, I must swim to the other side of the river with those friends.

The younger brother Lin Yi, who was stimulated last time, also begged his grandfather to teach him how to swim, but his aunt, just as Lin Xiao expected, felt that he was too young to go swimming, so he could only watch helplessly as his grandfather led Lin Jian to swim. He and Lin Xiao walked towards the river with their swimming rings in their hands.

In fact, Lin Xiao also felt that the aunt's concerns were very legitimate, swimming was indeed too early for her two-year-old cousin.Although the aunt's character inevitably has a bit of rural women's shrewdness and calculation, but in her previous life she took good care of Lin Xiao and her brothers and sisters whose parents went out to work.After making good soup, I didn’t forget to ask Lin Xiao and the others to serve two bowls to drink, and after planting vegetables, I didn’t forget to pick two stalks for grandma to fry for them to eat.

Therefore, although Lin Xiao couldn't bear the longing eyes of his cousin Lin Yi, he still chose to turn a blind eye and follow in the footsteps of his grandpa and brother and ran towards the river.

It was a sunny day, perfect for learning to swim.

The small river in the village meanders through the entire village, and some of the particularly wide banks are called piers by the villagers.The shore is built with large elongated granite stones into a shape, which is used to park wooden boats in the village and for people to wash and take clothes on the shore.When the river is not rising, the white stones are half exposed on the surface of the water, and it is a bit hot to step on.The bottom of the stone slab soaked in the water was covered with green, greasy moss.When the water is high, the whole stone slab is soaked in the river water, and people walking on it must be careful not to be slipped by the slippery moss.

There is a row of broad-leaved trees with connected branches and leaves growing near the port. Lin Xiao counted one, two, three, four, five, six from here. There are six thick and big trees covering the port in a cool and transparent way, so that people who wash clothes in the port can avoid washing clothes. Baked by the scorching sun.These big trees with dense branches and leaves have also become a playground for children.

The older child came to the tree, took off his shoes with a flick of his feet, hugged the smooth tree trunk, and climbed between the branches in two or three steps, hiding in the dense branches and leaves. Passers-by walking below didn't notice those fur children running back and forth between the branches connecting trees like monkeys.

Lin Xiao's favorite game is to start from the last tree with his friends, and compete who can climb the six trees the fastest, and then climb to the last tree from this side.

The closely connected branches and leaves provide various paths for the children. Coupled with the lightness of the children, it looks like little monkeys jumping between the trees from a distance.

These six broad-leaved trees grow obliquely against the bank, and their trunks extend obliquely towards the river, making them very easy to climb.This is also convenient for those children who like to be stimulated, climb between the tall branches, and then jump into the green river below, splashing snow-white water on the river with a plop, splashing the clothes on the bank The women laughed and cursed.

The leather kids always compete who can climb the highest and splash the furthest.They often just jumped off, and then printed small wet footprints on the tree trunk with their wet bodies, striving to move towards a higher and farther position.The occasional drops of water dripping from their wet bodies also made the women washing clothes below laugh and scold.

Xiaolin Jianyi saw his little friends climbing high and jumping happily one by one, he was very jealous, and immediately looked at his grandfather eagerly: "Grandpa, I want to learn how to swim quickly. Then I will have a diving competition with Brother Xiaoman and the others!"

Grandpa glanced at the little heads swimming in the water on the bank and nodded.

Speaking of which, the way grandpa taught swimming was very rude and direct.I saw him and his brother standing on a piece of granite at the outermost end of the pier, hugged his brother's small body, and then threw a perfect parabola with both hands.

With a plop, Lin Jian's small body was thrown into the calm river like a bomb, causing countless splashes.

Lin Xiao looked at the place where her brother's small body sank, a few bubbles popped up, black lines.He didn't believe it when he heard his brother talk about it before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that his grandfather's education method was bold and direct enough.

Lin Jian's head came out of the water very quickly, his eyes and nose were red, probably because he was choked when he fell into the water.But the little guy was not afraid at all, and tried to paddle his hands and feet clumsily according to his grandfather's prompts, and slowly swam back to the shore from the place where he fell into the water (about two meters away).

In fact, children are young, and they are at the age when they are not afraid of anything.This is the easiest time to learn to swim.

No, after being thrown out several times by his grandfather, Lin Jian can already show off to his familiar playmates with his self-taught freestyle strokes.

When his grandpa's eyes fell on Lin Xiao, he shivered suddenly. He didn't need his grandpa to throw him. He obediently slid into the water and swam out for a meter with his hands and feet clumsily. Then he felt a little tired and turned around again. Turn around and swim slowly back to shore.

Grandpa saw that Xiao Lin Xiao was able to learn well without doing it by himself, he nodded with satisfaction, and sighed in his heart: Different grandchildren are suitable for different education methods...

So grandpa also slipped into the water. The water level on the bank was only up to his chest. He stepped on the soft river mud at the bottom of the river while pointing out the poor swimming posture of his two grandsons.

Night fell quickly, and the calm river reflected the bright sunset glow all over the sky.Lin Xiao huddled her little butt in the swimming circle, and half-sat in the water looking up at the gorgeous sunset like a raging fire.Then gently cupped both hands, holding the setting sun and evening glow in the palms of small hands, a comfortable smile appeared on the corners of the mouth.

In just half a day, the two brothers Lin Xiao and Lin Jian learned to swim. Grandpa planned to bring them to the port a few more times, and let them play by themselves after they became proficient.

Children of this era are resistant to falls and beatings, and their skin is very strong.Because he dares to try everything and learns things very quickly.Adults adopt the parenting method of herding cattle and eating grass for children.

No, the children jumped up and down the tall trees, and the adults didn't make a fuss.When the children got into trouble, they were caught and beaten, beaten and beaten, but the children still grew up healthily.

It's not as precious as the later children.Hold it in the palm of your hand for fear of breaking, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, and spoil the children so much.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Jian, come home~~" Grandpa shouted from the shore.

Lin Xiao and Lin Jian responded from a distance, and then began to compete who could swim back to the shore the fastest.

Days flow like water in joy...
