As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I could smell the fragrance of food. It was a very familiar smell. It was my mother's cooking skills.

"Second Aunt, what did you make to eat? It smells so good!" Ye Qian could not resist the temptation of the fragrance and quickly walked into the kitchen. Opening the lid of the pot, she took a look, "So it's the red-braised pork ribs. Second Aunt, can you eat anymore? I'm almost drooling. "

Ye Qian was so greedy that she could not help but ask.

My mother laughed, "Quickly, Qian Qian, go wash your hands with your brother. We'll be able to eat soon."

Hearing that, Ye Qian immediately pulled my hand and ran off, "Hurry, wash your hands." My mother shook her head and smiled at her eagerness.

My mom knew that I was coming back, so she cooked a lot of things that I liked to eat. When we were eating, my mom continuously filled Ye Qian and I up with food.

My mom just laughed and said, "Qian Qian, eat slower, stop choking."

Ye Qian laughed while minding her own business with the ribs.

Oh right, Qian Qian, when your dad and the others were about to leave, he said that she might not be coming back today. My mother said.

Ye Qian asked: "Second Aunt, where did my parents go?"

"I'm not sure," my mother said. "We should talk business. They've been having a hard time doing business these past few years."

Ye Qian nodded and did not ask further.

After dinner, my mom cleaned up the dishes while Ye Qian laid on the sofa limply, rubbing her stomach and said, "Ye Fei, I seem to have eaten too much."

I raised my eyebrows and glanced at her. I said I'd eat too much and go out for a walk. Don't lie down on the couch, it's bad for the stomach.

"But I don't even have the strength to stand up …" Ye Qian seemed to have thought of something, so she sat up and said: "Oh yes, do you remember when we were young, we often played on the big rock by the river? It's been a long time since I've been there.

There was a small river in the village, close to the bottom of the river, and a deep pool. Next to the pool was a huge rock, its surface flat and smooth. When we were kids, we used to play games on top of the rock.

I was only seven or eight at the time, an ignorant age. Every time I played a game, I would find it especially interesting. Looking back on it now, I'm really nostalgic for the innocence of my youth.

I didn't say anything, but Ye Qian came over and hugged my arm to act coquettish. I couldn't take this little girl's coquettish words, so I agreed.

About ten minutes later, we were near the deep pool. From far away, we could see a few naked kids swimming in the water.

Rural children do not have toys and do not often go to amusement parks, so children will find their own entertainment projects, such as bathing in the river. The very small children in the village could swim, and they were very good swimmers. When they took a bath, they would practically always be in neutral.

Seeing Ye Qian and I walking over, an eight or nine-year-old boy said embarrassedly: "Big sister, we aren't wearing underwear, please don't peek at us."

When Ye Qian heard this, she could not help but blush as she said huffily, "Brat, I have already seen your shower more than ten years ago. I am not interested in you kids right now."

In the past, I was pretty much like these little fellows, who would often swim here naked. On the other hand, Ye Qian and a few other girls from the village would sit on top of some rocks and watch us bathe. It wasn't because the little girl was lustful, but because she was still young at the time and didn't know the difference between males and females.

Thinking about these things now, I couldn't help but blush. I still felt extremely awkward.

I couldn't help but look at Ye Qian, but I didn't think that our eyes would meet. Her eyes revealed a faint shyness, and I quickly shifted my gaze, walking over to the boulder and sat down.

I was embarrassed too, so I lit a cigarette.

"Ye Fei, do you remember that time when you took a bath here, and then, we girls secretly hid your clothes, and then, you guys walked back to the village in your bare butts. For that, Second Uncle even beat you up." Ye Qian hugged his legs, his chin on his knees, his face revealing a faint smile.

When I thought about this, I got angry. At that time, my father said that I was too useless and that I was teased by a few girls. Because of this, my father even taught me a lesson.

I say, you still remember this. I was bullied by you quite a few times when I was young.

"You're the older brother, hehe." Ye Qian smiled slyly, "And that damn fatty, Zhang Rong, he was bullied by me quite a few times. Oh right, Ye Fei, do you have any news of Zhang Rong? "

This Zhang Rong that Ye Qian is talking about is a girl called me. When she was young, she looked fat and wretched, so Ye Qian and the other girls called him Fatty Rong.

After graduating from high school, Zhang Rong and a few other young friends went to join the army, and we didn't contact them again after that.

I shook my head, saying that based on the time I estimated, they should be leaving the army soon as well.

"That was so fun. I really miss that time." Ye Qian said.

Childhood should be the happiest and most unforgettable time for everyone, even Ye Qian. Looking at the playful little fellows in the pond, it was as though they could see us as children, without any worries, full of innocence and kindness.

I took a few deep puffs, stubbed out my cigarette, and threw it under the rock.

However, right at this moment, a completely pitch black snake suddenly crawled onto the boulder, heading towards where Ye Qian was sitting. I shouted out in alarm, "Ye Qian, quickly get up, there's a snake!"

Ye Qian had been afraid of this thing since she was young, and when she heard that there was a snake, she jumped like a conditioned reflex. When she turned around and saw the black snake, her face immediately paled.

"Ye Fei, beat it to death, beat it to death!" Ye Qian said in fear.

What I didn't know was that Ye Qian had already retreated to the edge of the rock, and there was a deep pond below. I wanted to remind her, but it was already too late, Ye Qian's right foot had already stepped on the air, following that she fell back, falling into the water with a splash.

I knew she couldn't swim. I didn't have time to take off my clothes and dive into the water.

Maybe it was out of instinct, but Ye Qian held onto my neck tightly, and it took a lot of effort to bring her out of the water. At this moment, Ye Qian was like an octopus, entangling my body and all I could do was swim to the shore.
