Li Xiaoxiao seemed to be very interested in skating and quickly mastered the essence of skating. Later, she and Fang Zhiqiang chased each other on the ice. This scene seemed extremely harmonious.

After a long time, both of them felt a little tired, and Fang Zhiqiang looked again at a small pavilion not far from the ice.

In Wujiang, the temperature is low all year round. Especially in winter, the ice on the lake will not melt at all, so a small pavilion was built in the center of the lake. In summer, the lake will not melt. When it freezes, a bridge is used as a passage, but in winter, the bridge is no longer in use, and people can come directly to the pavilion from the ice.

“Xiaoxiao, let’s go over and rest for a while?” Fang Zhiqiang pulled Li Xiaoxiao and slowly slid towards the small pavilion.

Ever since he mastered the skills of skating, Li Xiaoxiao has been too lazy to take another step on the ice. At this moment, he is skating more and more happily.

When they arrived at the small pavilion, the two people sat down slowly. The small pavilion was not big, and the seats on one side could only accommodate two people. It happened that there were not many people here at this time, so Fang Zhi Qiang and Li Xiaoxiao sat on each side, looking at each other.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Li Xiaoxiao asked Fang Zhiqiang a little unnaturally.

"There are only two of us here. If I don't look at you, who do you want me to look at?" Fang Zhiqiang looked around innocently, then looked at Li Xiaoxiao again, and said helplessly.

"Oh..." Li Xiaoxiao also felt that there were some problems with this question, and then lowered his head and smiled.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know what this place was used for before?" Fang Zhiqiang looked at the shores around the lake and said suddenly.

"What is it for?" Li Xiaoxiao raised his head again and looked at Fang Zhiqiang curiously.

“In the past, this place was very poor. People who wanted to buy new year’s goods had to go to the town. But there were no cars at that time, and many people couldn’t afford bicycles, so this ferry was created. , some people specifically punt here to help those who want to go to the town." Fang Zhiqiang continued.

After listening to this, Li Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but turn his head and look at the shore. Nowadays, the development is very good. The ships used to carry people have long since disappeared without a trace. Today’s ships, They are all used for tourists to have fun.

But now that the lake is frozen, of course the boat cannot be used.

"Qiangzi, how come you know everything?" After looking at it for a while, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Zhiqiang again and said with admiration.

　“You silly girl, before you go to a place, don’t you need to read theWant some information? Although I just sharpened my skills in battle last night, I'm still much better than you, a stupid girl who doesn't know anything! "Fang Zhiqiang deliberately rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoxiao and said with pride.

"You..." Li Xiaoxiao was speechless. After being stunned for a long time, a happy look appeared on his face again. Smile.

When she went out to play with Fang Zhiqiang, she really didn’t have to worry about anything. Fang Zhiqiang had already taken care of everything she could think of.

“At that time , this ferry is very lively, with many people taking boats almost every day. Over time, this place has become the most important transportation place in the entire Wujiang River. Later, with the development of the times, cars replaced boats, and people no longer needed this ferry. But this is a heritage that has been handed down for hundreds of years, and people are reluctant to give it up, so the ferry is still preserved today. Of course, it is only used for viewing and experience. "Fang Zhiqiang took a long breath as he spoke.

Thinking of the development of various regions in recent years, Fang Zhiqiang also felt a little dizzy.

The 1990s When I was just born, when I saw someone riding a bicycle, I already admired him greatly. But in these short twenty or thirty years, sometimes when I think about it carefully, it is really incredible.

Sometimes Fang Zhiqiang would subconsciously imagine that if he went to jail, how would the world change after he was released from prison in ten years from when he first entered jail?< br />
Can you still recognize this city? Can you find a road that you walked back then?

"Hey... this ferry must be a place for the locals. It is a place they will never forget. In their childhood, they must have beautiful memories of this ferry. "Fang Zhiqiang suddenly sighed. Thinking back to his hometown, Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help but think of the memories of his childhood. At that time, he didn't understand anything and thought that the world was all like his hometown. But then came Pearl, Fang Zhiqiang discovered that he was just a frog in the well at that time.

“Qiangzi, are you homesick? "Li Xiaoxiao heard the emotion in Fang Zhiqiang's words, and then suddenly asked.

Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Fang Zhiqiang suddenly smiled bitterly.
< br />Since the death of his father, I have never returned to my hometown. For me now, that place is just a place that exists in my memories.

“That place, There is no need to go back..." Fang Zhiqiang looked into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at, and sighed, his tone full of desolation and sadness.

Seeing Fang Zhiqiang like thisLi Xiaoxiao obviously knew why. He immediately stood up slowly and came to Fang Zhiqiang's side. He hugged Fang Zhiqiang's neck tightly with his arms, gently pressed his cheek against Fang Zhiqiang's head, and said softly: "It's okay. Qiangzi, as long as you are willing, I am willing to go back with you at any time."

In fact, deep down in Fang Zhiqiang's heart, he still wants to go back to his hometown and have a look. The furnishings in the house at that time can bring back every trivial and insignificant memory about childhood.

However, it is those memories that can make a person clearly aware of where he came from and where he is going.

This is exactly what the saying "fallen leaves return to their roots" means.

"How about we go to your hometown when we come back from Beihai this time?" Li Xiaoxiao said, gently rubbing Fang Zhiqiang's back with his palm.

After hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang did not speak immediately. When he mentioned his hometown, he felt very confused. His father's death seemed to be just yesterday. He had been arguing with his father for so long before. But later they stopped fighting, but they were separated forever.

Memories are often beautiful, not because life is not as good as before, but when people recall, they often can’t help but think of those beautiful things and moments, and those who are unhappy, will be automatically filtered out by people.

Now, Fang Zhiqiang thinks back to his father, all of which are beautiful memories of childhood.

"Let's go! Let's buy some food over there." Fang Zhiqiang suddenly stood up, trying to get rid of this sentimental memory, and then pointed to a canteen on the shore and said.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao also stood up. It was almost noon now, and she was indeed a little hungry.

The two people stood up together and walked slowly towards the shore.

This time, no one skated, maybe because they were really tired from skating, or maybe because they were not in the mood anymore.
