silence.
Deathly silence.
Time passed awkwardly in silence.
The little boy Chen Xun, who was very insightful, was the first to break the silence in the room. He quickly finished the food in the bowl, then held his younger brother with one hand and his younger sister with the other, and "swish!" they returned to their own room.
Little Guoguo, who was inexplicably taken away, looked confused, and the fat boy was gnawing on a meat bone in his hand.
Chen Gang cleared his throat, slowly put down his chopsticks, and stood up: "Well, Comrade Xiaoyu, I have something urgent to deal with."
"Sit down!"
"Why!"
Tian Mi
I don't know why, Tian Mi, who is very brave, always acts like a coward in front of this elder sister, as if it is a blood suppression.
Especially at this moment, when her elder sister stared at her without saying a word, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Tian Mi's scalp was numb from being stared at. She smiled sweetly and tried to reason with him: "Sister, have you forgotten? My swimming skills are very good. I can hold my breath underwater for ten minutes."
Chen Gang was still unclear about this matter. He looked at his second sister-in-law in surprise. Then he finally understood why she was able to rescue Lao Lou from the ice hole. It was rare to find someone who could hold his breath underwater for ten minutes.
"Bang! How can it be the same? Ah? How can it be the same? It's thirty or forty degrees below zero, do you think you are in Chaoyang River? I think you are risking your life!" Tian Yu not only cursed loudly, but also slammed the table with all his might.
Tian Mi had no way to explain to her elder sister that the temperature of the four seasons made no difference to her underwater. To put it bluntly, this weather made her soak in the sea several times more comfortable than staying in her kang room.
If possible, she would like to soak in the water for twenty-four hours a day.
"Sister, everyone likes different things. I don't feel cold because I like them. When I was at my hometown, I would go swimming on icy days." Of course, this is false, but for the sake of underwater freedom in the future, we still have to fight for what we should fight for.
The army was going to hold an annual winter swimming competition. It was such a good opportunity, just like someone had fed her food to her mouth. If she didn't seize the opportunity, it would be a waste of God's gift.
"How can my parents not scold you?" Tian Yu didn't expect that this damn girl would be so bold when she was at home. Although her hometown was not as cold as the north, the temperature was still minus seven or eight degrees Celsius at the coldest time.
Tian Mi's eyes wandered, and she muttered, "My parents don't know."
"You!" Tian Yu stood up and waved the feather duster at his sister.
Unexpectedly, his wife started fighting as soon as they disagreed. Chen Gang, who had been watching the show leisurely, quickly put down his teacup and stood up to stop her: "Comrade Xiaoyu, calm down, why are you still fighting? My second sister is already married."
"Get out of the way!" The younger sister ran so fast that Tian Yu couldn't catch up with her. She also felt that her husband was getting in the way, so she pushed him away with force.
The defenseless Chen Gang staggered a few steps until his back hit the table against the wall, and he finally steadied himself. He rubbed his bruised waist with a gritted teeth, then stood in the corner and no longer moved forward.
He now understood that the sisters were just joking.
How powerfully does my wife usually swing the feather duster? None of the monkey children in the house can escape, but now it misses every time, which is obviously a scare tactic.
"Hey, sister, don't move your hands. Well, it's medically proven that winter swimming is good for the body." After sympathizing with her brother-in-law for a second, Tian Mi continued to walk around the table.
"You still dare to talk back? I don't care whether winter swimming is good for you or not. It's so cold, but you dare to go into the river alone. I think you are determined not to do anything good." Tian Yu danced the feather duster in his hand with a clanging sound, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
She felt that her second sister was not much different from her own son. It was very difficult to raise her, and she would climb up the roof and tear off the tiles if she was not disciplined for three days.
"I'm not alone, fourth sister knows that the money I earned before was saved by selling fish." At the critical moment, Tian Mi had no psychological burden at all about betraying his sister.
Hearing this, Tian Yu paused and asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about the way to make money you told me before, which is to catch fish and sell them?"
Seeing that the eldest sister had calmed down, Tian Mi leaned on the edge of the table and nodded quickly, ready to run away at any time: "Yes, we catch fish and sell them at the market. My fourth sister and I divide the work, she is responsible for selling, and I am responsible for catching."
Tian Yu frowned and was silent for a long while before asking again: "Are you really not afraid of the cold? Can you really hold your breath underwater for ten minutes?"
There's hope! Tian Mi was delighted and continued to talk nonsense: "It's still cold, but I like swimming, both in summer and winter. I can hold my breath for at least ten minutes."
What does that mean? Tian Mi looked at her elder sister in confusion as she said those harsh words and hurried to the kitchen.
"Aunt, Mom is definitely planning on using some powerful tricks to deal with you."
Tian Mi turned around and saw Chen Xun, who had returned to the room earlier, hiding at the bedroom door with Chen Zhao to watch the fun. There was also a little fat girl with a greasy face sitting at his feet.
"Don't talk nonsense." Tian Mi grinned at his nephew. While thinking whether he should make a strategic retreat first, he saw his eldest sister carrying a basin of water in a washbasin and placing it on the table.
What does it mean
Except for Chen Gang who reacted and chuckled, everyone else looked confused.
Tian Yu knocked on the edge of the basin: "Didn't you say you can hold your breath? Come and try it. If you can really hold your breath in the water for ten minutes, I will take you to try winter swimming again."
"real?"
"I'm not that stubborn. As long as you're really capable, I'll agree to let you participate in the competition." Northern women are mostly outgoing, and the annual winter swimming competition is a rare and lively event of the year.
There aren't many women participating in the competition, but it's not an isolated case. Tian Yu has lived here for so many years, and her personality has been affected to some extent. As long as her sister really has the ability, she won't be unreasonable.
Of course, the main reason was that she didn't believe that a person could hold his breath in water for ten minutes.
My second sister is grown up now, so it’s not a good idea to suppress her with force. The best strategy is to use wits to overcome her. As long as she can’t hold it in for ten minutes, you can’t blame her for not keeping her word.
Tian Mi, who had no idea of her elder sister's thoughts, immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Keep your word!"
Tian Yu rolled his eyes, knocked on the edge of the basin again, and urged: "Hurry up."
10 minutes was no burden at all for Tian Mi, who had a golden finger. She tied her hair up neatly, then placed her hands on both sides of the basin, took a deep breath under everyone's gaze, and then buried her head in the water.
Just as she had guessed, she could breathe freely even in the small washbasin.
Buried in the water, although I couldn't see the time, my brother-in-law was very considerate and would report to me every minute.
When Tian Mi had been buried in the water for 7 minutes and was still able to do it with ease.
Little boy Chen Zhao couldn't hold it anymore. He lay down beside the basin and stared at his aunt who was buried in the water without moving. He said with envy: "Mom, I'll try it later."
Tian Yu: “Haha.”
"What does hehe mean?"
“It means dreaming.”
"Mom, look, my brother is tickling me again."
"Stop making noise, it's been 8 minutes."
After 9 minutes, 10 minutes, and even a little over 14 minutes, Tian Mi finally stepped out of the basin.
In order to make the effect more realistic, she really held her breath in the last minute.
So she took a deep breath, her face flushed red: "Ahem. How is it? Sister. Ahem. Am I awesome? When are we going to go winter swimming?"
Tian Yu made a mistake.
"How about we wait until my brother-in-law comes back and he agrees?"
