In the village the time goes slowly and hesitantly, not like in big cities. It seems that a whole month has passed, but in reality it's only been one week. Usually I help my aunt in the garden, but her morning begins before mine. We have a village far from the village and the water from the tap is unheard of luxury, so I take two old iron buckets and go through three houses to the well. The well water is incredibly clean and very cold. Sometimes you have to do something around the house, but as soon as the first opportunity, I swing over the fence and run to friends.
In the village of my good friends. Together we spend almost all the time. On the hottest days we can sit for hours on the river Bank. Swim, frolic and see off the views of passing barges. Somehow I got from my aunt because I missed lunch, and actually I was not hungry. The fact that my friend Pasha brought from uncle Sergei whole package of potatoes and we bake it right in the fire. What fun it is to flip from one to the other hand hot potato, and then crush and eat a piece, clearing it from the salty ash. Agree, this is not a plate with the finished soup. But how much of romance and happiness conducted as if in a very different world, summer days!
