Liu Jianmin took half a month's leave after the divorce. The head of his unit also knew the cause and effect of his divorce from his wife, so he quickly approved his leave. The next day, Liu Jianmin came to his parents with his bag.

After meeting Chen Xin, Liu Jianmin apologized and thanked her. Originally, accompanying his parents should have been his and his sister Liu Chunyan's business, but after thinking about it in the past two years, Chen Xin and Zhang Zhang, who were outsiders, accompanied their parents more.

Liu Jianmin didn't feel anything before, and after his wife's perennial chatter, he also felt that Chen Xin didn't have any ideas, but this time there was a divorce, after he inquired carefully, none of the neighbors said bad things about Chen Xin, and the grandma downstairs also said that Liu Jianmin's brothers and sisters should thank Chen Xin for accompanying their parents for so long. There are even neighbors on the opposite side, Lao Lin and his wife, who said that after the old couple of the Liu family met Chen Xin and Zhang Zhang, they were in a lot of energy.

It was precisely because everyone said so that Liu Jianmin suddenly realized that he had neglected his parents for too long, so long that he even took it for granted.

This time, Liu Jianmin came to accompany his parents, and he wanted to atone for his previous neglect of his parents.

Since Liu Jianmin came over, Chen Xin has been less than accompanying the old couple, and she has to leave time and space to Liu Jianmin. After all, they are a family, even if Grandma Liu said that she would not forgive her son, how could she not forgive, after all, she was pregnant in October and raised a child for more than ten or twenty years.

After hearing Liu Jianmin call and say that he was going to stay with them for two weeks, Chen Xin could feel Grandma Liu's eagerness in her heart. After seeing Liu Jianmin coming over as promised, Grandma Liu's eyes were red.

The old man is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, which Chen Xin also understands, so after accompanying them for an afternoon, she said that she planned to take Zhang Zhang to the halfway up the mountain to see it the next day.

"There is no one there halfway up the mountain, what are you doing with the child?" Grandma Liu glared at Chen Xin with disgust, "If you want to go, go by yourself and leave Zhang Zhang for me." ”

"No need, it's rare for Brother Liu to have a holiday, you can just have a few days of fun, leave the two of us alone. I didn't know that when you and Grandpa Liu were coming, it wasn't just our aunt and nephew. ”

After breakfast the next day, Chen Xin picked up her backpack and pulled Zhang Zhang to the mountain.

She inquired in advance, and it was not uninhabited halfway up the mountain. There is a tea garden on the mountain, and there was a village under the tea garden earlier, which was called Chashan Village, but later because of the development of the front and back mountains, the villagers felt that life here was not easy, so they moved to the canyon area between the front and back mountains and built a new village. That is, the small village on the side of the mountain that they passed by here.

The village was built in a unified manner, basically along the valley river, with only a village-level cement road passing through the village, and on either side of the road were the houses built by the villagers, and then about less than two kilometers long, connected to the tourist passage across the river by two bridges in front and back.

"Old man Zhang from Chashan Village is a veteran, the kind who has been on the battlefield. The eldest son of his family also died on the battlefield, and the second son became disabled when he fought the flood, so in order not to drag the family down, he starved to death, and now the third daughter and the third son-in-law are taking care of the two elders. The three daughters built a house in the village below the mountain and let the two elders come down the mountain to live, but the old man Zhang was stubborn and refused to move, saying that he would guard the tombs of his two sons. Over the years, the village has handed over the work of guarding the tea garden to his old couple, and in addition to the salary of the subsistence allowance and the tea garden every month, they will also find some names to send some rice, flour, grain and oil every three or five times. ”

went up the mountain with Aunt Chen Xin and nephews, as well as Xiao Yang in the sanatorium. Xiao Yang is a logistics staff, and this time he went up the mountain to find Uncle Zhang to buy tea. The quality of their tea plantations is not good, but there is a special kind of tea: Kuding tea.

This tea has a good medicinal effect, especially for antihypertensive diuresis and diabetes, so their sanatorium will order a lot every year, and then provide it to the old cadres who come here to recuperate to drink and buy.

Halfway through, Zhang Zhang couldn't climb anymore, and wanted his aunt to carry him up. Xiao Yang laughed, put Zhang Zhang on his shoulders, walked briskly for a while, and then asked him to look at the little squirrel on the pine tree on the side of the road.

Because there are few people here, the vegetation protection is very good, and there are many small animals in the mountains, such as rabbits and pheasants, squirrels and the like are more common, and squirrels are often seen running to the sanatorium in June and July.

Zhang Zhang had seen pheasants and hares in Zhangjia Village, as well as foxes and wild boars, but this was the first time he had seen a squirrel. The little fat man opened his eyes wide and cautiously looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Yang, and saw a small gray squirrel squatting on the branch, holding a pine tower and looking at him.

Zhang Zhang opened his mouth to scream, but suddenly covered his mouth again, turned his head to look at Chen Xin, and whispered: "Auntie, come quickly, there is a squirrel!"

Chen Xin smiled, quickened her pace and rushed over, squatted down and hugged Xiao Zhangzhang's shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and asked in a low voice, "Where is it? Why didn't Auntie see it?" ”

"There, there, auntie, you look up. Ah, the little squirrel is leaving. ”

The little squirrel's movements were very fast, and he turned around and hugged the pine tower brush and disappeared.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of squirrels on this mountain, and the weather will be better in a few days, and when you come up again, you can still see the scene of the squirrel family squatting and losing." "Xiao Yang has been working here for a long time, and he also knows the habits of these small animals on the mountain.

Now that autumn is approaching, squirrels will collect a lot of food for the winter, and this is also the best time for them to eat and drink to survive the winter, so as long as the weather is good, you can see a lot of small animals walking through the forest.

Zhang Zhang had the motivation to take Xiao Yang's hand and walk up the mountain vigorously, and kept asking when he saw something he didn't know on the way. Xiao Yang has a good personality, and it is rare to have this opportunity to show his erudition, so one big and one small happily left Chen Xin and went farther and farther.

Chen Xin, who hasn't climbed the mountain like this for a long time, is really a little unable to keep up with the speed of the two, but fortunately, Xiao Yang is from the military region, and she is not afraid that he will abduct Zhang Zhang, Chen Xin is happy to have someone to help her hug the little fat man.

When you reach the mountainside, you can look up and see a tea plantation.

Chen Xin looked closely, and the tea trees here were obviously different from those in Zhangjia Village. She doesn't know how to recognize this kind of leaves that grow on trees, and only recognizes fried tea leaves, so she is not sure if this is a Kuding tea tree.

Further up the hill, you can see a blue brick house located in the northeast corner of the tea plantation, and there is an empty dam in front of the tile house. After climbing up, I found that there was also a house built on the opposite side of the tiled house, but it was relatively low, and judging by its form, it should be a special place for drying tea and roasting tea.
