I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 140: Ice Skating at Shichahai

Time flies, and as time passes by, it is like a wisp of smoke passing through your fingertips.

If you don't chase, you will never have it.

Today is December 61, 12, which happens to be Sunday and the last day of this year.

What?

Of course we went to have fun. Although there wasn’t much to eat or drink, there was plenty of spiritual nourishment.

Especially in this era, who hasn’t been to Shichahai for ice skating?

Newspaper reports in Beijing in 58

Although I can’t eat enough, I can still eat half full most of the time.

As for the old people and the young, they have never been hungry, not for any other reason but because they have money.

Last night Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e to make an appointment. When Qiao Yun heard about ice skating, she agreed immediately.

Just after breakfast, there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Yun went to open the door and saw that it was He Yushui, whom she hadn't seen for several months.

It is no longer the feeling of malnutrition, but a whole set of new clothes, which is very beautiful.

A new set of clothes, a cotton jacket underneath and a sweater with the collar showing.

Gee...

"Sister Yushui, when did you come back?"

"I came back last night. The school was closed for the holidays and I couldn't stay there, so I had to go home. It's okay. I'm staying at my brother's house now."

"Sister Yushui, what are you doing here?"

"Qiao Yun, is Brother Baoshan at home?"

"Yes, come in.

"Brother, Sister Yushui is here." Qiao Yun shouted into the house.

"Well, come in." Bai Baoshan heard it and shouted in the house.

"Brother Baoshan."

"Well, the rain is back."

"I'm back. The school sent out a notice yesterday morning that we're on holiday and that school will resume on March 3. They said there's not enough food and the school can't provide enough, so only the second graders are allowed to continue attending school."

"It's okay to take a break, but you can't fall behind in your studies. You can do some extra study if you have nothing to do."

"Yeah, listen to Brother Baoshan, and... Brother Baoshan, thank you, I know it was you who helped me."

“No need, I’m not necessarily helping you.

By the way, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e are going to Shichahai for ice skating. Qiao Yun and I are going too. Are you going?"

Yu Shui thought for a moment and said, "Brother Baoshan, I won't go. I made the bed when I came back yesterday. Many things have not been used for a long time. I will clean it up today."

"Okay, let's play together when we have time." Bai Baoshan obviously wanted Yu Shui to leave.

Bai Baoshan watched the rain leaving.

"Brother, it's okay, let me do it." Qiao Yun turned back and closed the door.

Qiao Yun ran over and closed the door.

The rain went out of the Feng family’s gate and went nowhere, turning around and going back home.

When the people in the yard saw Shazhu's door open, they thought Shazhu had come back, but it turned out to be rain.

There was almost nothing at home, so we had to buy food and coal briquettes.

(The briquettes mentioned here are honeycomb briquettes)

There is only a very small coal stove in Shazhu's house.

A group of people just watched and no one offered to help. Xu Damao couldn't stand it anymore.

"Rainwater, you're back."

"Brother Damao, I came back last night."

"How is it? Is there anything missing at home? Damao doesn't have much, but he still has some household items."

"Brother Damao, it's nothing, just go down to the ancient building and buy it."

"Okay, come back this afternoon and tell Damao what you need. I know you're back and I've brought you along."

"Brother Damao, it's okay. Brother Baoshan just told me to go. I have to pack up my whole family and can't leave."

"There's no rush. Okay, you clean it up. ...Oh, wait a minute.

Xiao'e, go to Brother Bai's house and wait for me. I'll bring some food to Yu Shui. I don't think there's anything in this house."

He pulled Lou Xiao'e out of Sha Zhu's house.

When Xu Damao got home, he didn't take anything else. He just used a piece of newspaper to wrap the noodles, which weighed about one kilogram.

I took 6 eggs, thought about it, and cut half a pound of pork belly, which was a reward from the factory leaders.

He picked up another big cabbage.

An arm full of things makes people sigh along the way.

Apart from being a bit foul-mouthed, Xu Damao has no other bad reputation in the compound.

He has a high salary and his wife is a lady from a wealthy family. As long as the kids in the yard are sweet-talkers, unless Xu Damao is angry with him, they can get a small candy by just calling him Brother Damao or something like that and being a little sweet-mouthed.

"Yushui, I'll put this food here for you. Don't hold back if you have anything to say. Shazhu and I are mortal enemies, but I love you from the bottom of my heart. I'm leaving now."

Xu Damao said this and left.

"Brother Damao, thank you."

"Hey, I already called you Brother Damao, why are you thanking me? Let's go, otherwise your sister-in-law Xiao'e will worry about you for nothing. If you have nowhere to go at home in the future, just go to my place and talk to your sister-in-law."

"Okay, Brother Damao, don't worry."

Xu Damao waved his hand.

Yu Shui looked at the things on the table and felt mixed emotions.

Those people in the courtyard who were nice to Sha Zhu, don’t even bother to ask him a question, let alone give him food.

He looked at the noodles, eggs, and a piece of meat, put them away and put them in the cupboard.

Also set the cabbage aside.

I wonder if the supply and marketing cooperative still has winter vegetables for sale.

If that doesn't work, go to the vegetable market and buy it.

There are only a few briquettes left.

I took out Sha Zhu's supply and demand book, as well as He Yushui's own, and went to buy coal in the afternoon, otherwise tomorrow it would be next year's, and people wouldn't recognize this year's.

I sorted out the tickets that were about to expire, as they would not be usable after this month, and decided to leave after eating.

Bai Baoshan simply packed up some things and filled a thermos with hot water.

Brown sugar, honey and two spoons of malted milk were added to it.

Ordinary hot water is transformed into an energy drink.

He grabbed some more snacks and put on his small backpack, which was stuffed full.

This is not ice skating at all, it's no different from camping. If Bai Baoshan had brought a tent, these few things would be enough for one person to eat for two days.

Xu Damao felt a little guilty and scratched his nose. He couldn't just bring nothing with him, but there was really nothing at home. However, he turned around and went home to get some snacks from Daoxiangcun.

When I came back, Bai Baoshan was already making a small hand warmer.

It is about the size of an orange, hollow inside, with a small piece of charcoal inside.

Light it and put it in. It is enough to warm your hands for 2 hours.

Even better when tucked into a hand warmer sleeve.

This doesn't look like ice skating at all, but rather like the princesses swimming in the winter lake in the past.

That's right, Lou Xiao'e was stunned. She, a young lady from a wealthy family, didn't have to go through so much trouble.

They finally set off. At 10 o'clock, the two families walked out of the compound together.

At least Xu Damao stopped himself after he went out of the door and didn't shout "Get out".

The main thing was that when they came out, Bai Baoshan took out a short white fur hat from the inner room for Qiao Yun, which didn't look cheap at first glance.

In contrast, Lou Xiao'e became a maid who accompanied tourists on tours.

As for the extra ones, Bai Baoshan really didn't dare to take them out. Qiao Yun didn't know their value, but she was a lady from a wealthy family and she had a good eye.

Although it is made of genuine leather, the workmanship is still something else and is simply not comparable to that of this era.

The two cars arrived at Beihai, where the ice rink is the largest. It costs 7 cents to rent a pair of ice skates, and they will ask you for a 5 cent deposit when you return it.

No loans will be accepted without a household registration booklet, work ID or student ID.

Qiao Yun was pulled by Lou Xiaoe, but she was having a lot of fun. Bai Baoshan was just playing on the side, and Xu Damao had already run to the group of literary and artistic young people.

The two girls played for a while and then ran back, drank some water and took a sip of energy drink. They immediately came back to life, ate some snacks, and continued playing.

Fortunately, I brought several sweat towels when I came.

When they changed the third sweat towel and came back for the fourth time, the two women could no longer run.

I only found the usage of sweat towel for children, which is similar to that for adults. Many people don’t know how to use sweat towel. It is not used to wipe sweat, but to be worn through clothes and attached to the back.

When the two of them changed their sweat towels, Lou Xiao'e, with a blushing face, pulled Qiao Yun to the toilet on the shore to change them.

As for eating, this huge pile of food was not enough, so Bai Baoshan took a few bricks and took out a small bag containing charcoal from his belongings, which he lit directly.

Put the cornmeal pancake on it, bake it, and add a few sweet potatoes and small potatoes, and finally spread it with beef bean sauce. It tastes so good in one bite.

If the times did not allow it and if he did not want to become a public enemy, Bai Baoshan would have taken out the lamb skewers.

At least I managed to hold it in in the end.

The beef slices were good.

The two families played like this until 3: in the afternoon, and then they went back after the temperature started to drop.
