Li Jianguo encouraged him, and Baolin couldn't wait to apply for the opportunity to play with the snow ring.

She was worried that it wouldn't be fun, so she only paid a penny.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Jilin to follow, and the other children followed. Youcai was wearing snowshoes in the house, and when he came out, his brothers and sisters had all run away.

He chased after him with his skis.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at the other things Li Jianguo brought back, a cardboard box, and asked, "What is this?"

Li Jianguo felt a little guilty, "It's ice skates."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "Who did you buy it for?"

"Baolin," Li Jianguo explained, "I saw that she had some talent for ice skating, so I wanted her to try it. Maybe she really has a talent for it."

Zhang Xiuhua opened the shoe box. The shoes she bought before were roller skates with rollers underneath. The skates have blades underneath. Most large-scale competitions are skating events, and only a few sports use skates.

"This will cost a lot of money, right?" Zhang Xiuhua asked curiously.

"It's more expensive than roller skates. But I think it's worth it." Li Jianguo believes that people should be conscientious. Xiuhua treats Youcai as her own son, so he should be devoted to her children. He is usually busy with work and has little contact with the children. If he can help the children choose a career, Xiuhua will be very happy.

"Okay! Let her try." Zhang Xiuhua looked at the ice surface of the private plot. "She forgot her skates when she went to lay the snow path for Youcai last night. This child only gets interested for a short time. If she really has talent in this area, I think it's hard to believe."

Each child is good at different things. Youcai may not have a high IQ, but he is a single-minded person. Such a child may not make a fortune, but he will definitely live a good life in the future. Baolin is smart and lively, but he is playful and has no perseverance in doing things. He likes this today and that tomorrow. He has too many ideas, and none of them can last long. She is worried about Baolin.

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Let her try first. If she can't hold on, we will encourage her! This child is just too playful. This is also normal. There are talented people at her age who are even more naughty than her."

Although she wanted Baolin to give ice skating a try, Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that Baolin would not be able to persist, so she decided to use a trick like Jiang Taigong fishing - those who are willing will take the bait!

She held the shoes in her arms and went to the foot of the mountain with Li Jianguo to watch the children skiing.

Needless to say, the kids had a blast. Sliding down the snow ring was like sliding down a slide. No kid could resist its temptation.

Ji Lin was holding a pen, recording the number of times everyone had skied, his hands and feet were frozen.

Zhang Xiuhua took a quick look and saw that Baolin had already played it ten times in a short while.

Yaoyao and Zhuzhu were not far behind, one played eight times and the other played six times. The three children took turns in line.

Looking at Youcai again, his snowshoes were his size, so the other kids could do nothing even though they were jealous.

The first time skiing, Youcai didn't know how to stop the skis, so he slid down the mountain and rushed into the field by inertia, falling several times. Fortunately, Baolin had seen many competitions before and told him that he should ski in a figure eight shape with an inward angle, so that he could reduce his speed.

There was no escalator at that time, so Youcai took a rope from home and tied it to a tree. When he wanted to go up, he pulled the rope and climbed up step by step.

When Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo came over, Youcai slid down from a high place and found the feeling for the first time. The speed of flying against the wind and sliding down rapidly made his adrenaline surge.

"Dad! Aunt Zhang! I can do it!" Youcai shouted into the wind, his face a little red from the wind, but it couldn't hide his excitement.

The other kids watched all this with envy, "Wow, that's fun!"

Seeing that Baolin also wanted to play, Yaoyao poured a basin of cold water on her, "That price is more fun."

Baolin sighed. Three hundred is really expensive. She is poor and cannot afford it.

"The ski board is adjustable. I wonder how much it will cost if I only buy the shoes?" Baolin was not giving up. When she slid down the slope, she ran to Li Jianguo to ask the price.

"Just buying the shoes will cost one hundred. They're foreign products. We don't have them in our country yet." Li Jianguo's words made Baolin dejected again.

"Don't you have roller skates? That's fun too." Zhang Xiuhua reminded her.

Baolin nodded. "That's OK. But it's not difficult. I think skiing seems more interesting."

Zhang Xiuhua was speechless, so she said, "Here is a pair of shoes that your father brought for a colleague. The child likes ice skates. You can try them on."

Pauline wondered, "Aren't ice skates and roller skates different?"

This kid still can't tell the difference between the two. But Zhang Xiuhua can understand, because the resolution of TV is not high now, Baolin only watched the game, and he really can't tell the difference between the bottom of the skates and the bottom of the roller skates.

When she took out the shoe, Baolin wondered, "Can this blade stand up if it's so thin?"

"Of course you can!" Li Jianguo said, "All the competitions you watched wore this kind of shoes. They are taller and stronger than you and they can still stand up, so there's no reason why you can't."

This made a lot of sense, Baolin couldn't refute it. She was tired from playing with the snow ring, so she put on her shoes and wanted to give it a try.

The slope was covered with snow, and the ground was also covered with snow. Baolin asked Yaoyao to go home with her.

When Yaoyao saw the new shoes, her eyes widened. "Will it work?"

"Let's give it a try." Baolin felt that this one was more difficult and would be more interesting to play.

The two girls walked back side by side. Only Zhuzhu was climbing up and down to play with the snow ring. Zhang Xiuhua found Tiedan, who had also helped them build snow last night, so Zhang Xiuhua let the child play with Zhuzhu.

Unexpectedly, when Zhuzhu heard that Tiedan could play for free, she became unhappy, "Mom, he, an outsider, can play for free, but I can't?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment, "He helped build the snow track. We can give him a free ride for a day. We can also charge him later. Is that okay?"

Zhuzhu tilted her head, "Okay then!"

After taking care of the children, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo went home to watch Baolin and Yaoyao ice skating.

Compared to the wheel below, the blade is obviously more difficult. At least Baolin didn't get the hang of it right away.

She took a few steps along the ice and almost fell, but she leaned forward in time and did not fall.

"Is it fun?" Yaoyao was watching from the outside, terrified.

"It's fun!" Baolin was already trying to skate. The competitions she watched before were actually all about skating. The same movements were easy to do with roller skates, but not so easy with ice skates. She found that the blades at the bottom could help slow down. And it was more fun to play.

So for the next hour, the three of them witnessed Baolin's growth. She could even do difficult skating moves. What's more rare is that this child has a high lung capacity. She didn't seem tired after skating for an hour. She was still very excited.

"Do you think it's okay?" Li Jianguo asked Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua didn’t know much about sports, and she was worried that she had a mother’s eye, so she said, “Why don’t we ask a professional teacher?!”

Unfortunately, neither of them knew a teacher in this field. After thinking it over, Li Jianguo decided to go to the Physical Education University to ask.

There was no sports university in their county, so he decided to ask at the sports university in the capital.

"Baolin will be 14 after the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too late for him to practice skating at this age?" In her previous life, Zhang Xiuhua had seen athletes who started practicing in elementary school. Baolin's bones had already developed, and she was worried that even if he had talent, it would be too late.

Li Jianguo didn't understand either, "Let me ask."
