In summer, the river behind Jia Kun's house was full of water during the flood season. Sometimes, the water overflowed the riverbank. Otherwise, Jia Kun's house might have been flooded. During the flood season, every household was busy trying to get out of the water. They were afraid of entering the courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by bricks and mud to prevent the water from spreading. There were people at home watching at all times. Sometimes, they would use shovels to reinforce it. Jia Kun's father was a person who couldn't stay idle. He was always working outside. Sometimes, when he was too busy, he would ask them to help. At this moment, the water level was like a river on flat ground. Only the ducks and geese swimming on it could sense it. It was during this flood season that many unfortunate things happened.
The child of the Old Li family was playing outside and unfortunately fell into the river. He died before he could be rescued. There was also one time when Cripple Old Hao slipped into this river and died. Therefore, everyone in the village paid attention to it. When the flood season came, there was someone in the team to watch over the river.
Especially during the hot summer, when the weather turned clear, the river water had already reached a certain level. Basically, after people went down, they would not drown. At this time, everyone would go to the river to bathe, regardless of whether they were adults or children. However, they were all wearing pants because they were in the lively area of Tunli. No one would say anything if some children were naked, but adults wouldn't allow it. This river became everyone's bathing place, and it was also one of the most lively places in the summer.
When the river water was at its lowest, people could not bathe there. At this time, ducks, geese, and pigs also went there to bathe and drown. Sometimes, the muddy water there made them stink, and the pig had fun.
The river at the east end of Tun was the same. It was close to the supply and marketing cooperative. The terrain here was very deep, unlike that river, which rarely overflowed the dike. However, this river was very dangerous. Many people had fallen into it because they were not careful and died here. He remembered that the third daughter of the old Ma family fell into this river and drowned. Her mother cried for three days and three nights.
People were especially careful on their way to the supply and marketing cooperative, especially when the road was slippery on rainy days.
When winter came, these two rivers were the places where children would have snowball fights and attack each other. They would play with snowballs on the other side of the river, and there was no need to say how happy they were. The most interesting thing was to play and ski. These two rivers were very lively. Whether it was children or adults, they were all immersed in the happiest time, just like that winter.
Jia Kun's forest in the summer had also become a good place for people to enjoy the shade. The forest was more than 200 meters long and wide. There were elm trees, poplar trees, and willow trees, but the willow trees were the main ones. Especially in this season, when the willow flowers bloomed, the willow leaves and willow pendants fell down one by one. It seemed to be a novelty. The child was picking up the willow seeds and playing with them. One moment, he stuffed them behind his neck, and the next moment, he inserted them into his head. He was having a lot of fun.
The most interesting thing here was the poker players. In order to play that poker card, the people who were watching the fun at the side even argued, and their faces turned red. It was like a real fight where you lost and I won.
The leaves here were also open, and the top of the tree was like a large cattail leaf fan, one next to the other, like a big parasol, covering it very tightly and very cool. People were sitting under the trees, enjoying the cool air.
At that time, the forest was very happy, and it also left a trace of memories in Jia Kun's mind.
Memories were something that people yearned for the most. In his memories, everything was so engraved in his heart that he could not forget it.
