"Master Xue, why did you get up early to sweep the road again? Xue Kemei greeted Master Hao with a smile.

Master Hao was still dressed like that, he wore a straw hat on his head and a black veil on his face.

Master Hao heard Xue Kemei greet him, and suddenly came back to his senses, he quickly nodded, and then looked at Juanjuan in a daze, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch Juanjuan's little face.

Juanjuan grabbed her mother's shirt and was so frightened that she hid behind Xue Kemei. She was horrified by the disguise of the masked man in front of her.

Master Hao babbled and pointed at Juanjuan for a while, not knowing what he was talking about.

Xue Kemei smiled, she guessed from his movements, this was a compliment on her daughter's good looks.

"Thank you, Juanjuan, don't hide back. This uncle is good. He once saved his mother's life, he is praising you for being good-looking and liking you, don't be afraid. Xue Kemei persuaded her daughter.

Juanjuan looked at her mother's savior in disbelief, and only then did she expose half of her body and let the mysterious masked man touch his face.

There was another burst of babbling, and Master Hao stretched out his thumb at Juanjuan, the meaning was very clear, and he kept praising Juanjuan.

At this time, Liu Chunjiang finished answering the phone from the office, came over and picked up the things on the ground, and said to Master Hao:

"Master Hao, don't work too hard, I'll give you a few days off these days, so you can rest for a few days. After saying that, the three of them followed each other, talking and laughing, and walked forward.

This Master Hao stood there with a big broom in his hand, motionless. At this time, he squinted his two eyes, looking through the black veil, looking at the background of the three people gradually moving away, his brows were tightly locked, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.

On the way, Juanjuan took Xue Kemei's hand and walked up and down. She squatted down for a while to pick a wild flower that couldn't be called to look at it, and then chased some flowers and butterflies in the grass, and it could be seen that Juanjuan was very happy today.

Since Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei came to Hexi County, except for some places that passed back and forth to the county, other large areas of land, because they were busy with work, the two of them had never been there.

Hexi County is called Hexi County because it is located on the southwest side of a river. This river, the locals call it "Yuxian River".

At this time, it was summer, the river looked rough and the amount of water was not small, and the three of them came to the river, put their hands on their foreheads to cover the dazzling sun, and looked at the rough river.

"I can't imagine that the scenery of the Yuxian River is so beautiful!"

Xue Kemei sighed, at this time, she stretched out the index finger and thumb of her two hands to form a simple "viewfinder", put it in front of her eyes, and kept observing the scenery inside the "frame". She studied art and is naturally sensitive to the scenery here.

"Then you can paint a landscape here. Liu Chunjiang said with a smile.

Xue Kemei hesitated, shook his head, and said:

"Let's go up the mountain first, Juanjuan wants to go up the mountain to play, let's talk about it when I come back." ”

The three of them continued south.

After walking nearly four or five miles, they came to the foot of a mountain.

Juanjuan has grown so big, she has never climbed a mountain. She wanted to experience what it was like to stand on top of a mountain and look down.

"Juanjuan, don't worry, I'm afraid you won't be able to climb up after a while. Xue Kemei took Juanjuan's hand, came to a big tree, and sat down to rest.

Liu Chunjiang unloaded the package he was carrying, put it at his feet, then took out the kettle and handed it to Juanjuan, asking her to drink some water.

The mountain doesn't feel very high from a distance. But when I came to the foot of the mountain, I looked up with my head, but it was not low.

"Juanjuan, look at this mountain is so high, can you climb it in a while?" Liu Chunjiang asked Juanjuan.

Juanjuan raised her head, looked up hard, and said loudly:

"Yes, I can climb higher than that. ”

"Okay, ambitious. Liu Chunjiang praised.

The three of them rested for about twenty minutes, then got up and began to walk up the mountain.

The mountain is not too steep.

Yesterday, in order to take Juanjuan to have a good time, Xue Kemei specifically asked Nie Wencheng, saying that she wanted to take Juanjuan to find a nearby mountain to play and see where it was good.

Nie Wencheng told her that this mountain was the best, neither high nor low, and the slope was not too steep, which was suitable for a child of Juanjuan's age to climb. That's why Xue Kemei came to this mountain.

Because he was worried about Liu Chunjiang's body, and also considering Juanjuan's young age, every time he walked for a while, Xue Kemei asked them to stop and rest for a while. By the time we reached the top of the mountain, it was already noon.

"It's time to eat. ”

Liu Chunjiang opened the package on his body, took out a large piece of cloth, spread it on a flat ground, and then took out a few cans, opened them and placed them in the middle, beckoning Xue Kemei and Juanjuan to come over for dinner.

"These canned foods were originally bought for you, why don't you eat them?" Xue Kemei looked at these cans and began to complain about Liu Chunjiang.

"How can I eat so many cans alone? besides, I don't think you are willing to buy these cans for Juanjuan. Liu Chunjiang quibbled.

Indeed, Xue Kemei rarely buys these cans for Juanjuan, but in the past, when Xue Kemei's parents came back from abroad, they would buy some food for Juanjuan.

Xue Kemei glanced at Liu Chunjiang and stopped talking. She also knew in her heart that she had not cared enough about Juanjuan for more than half a year.

Liu Chunjiang put the opened cans in front of Juanjuan and Xue Kemei, and urged them to eat them.

Liu Chunjiang himself opened a bag of instant noodles, poured hot water from the kettle, and ate it with a bag of mustard.

"Are you tired, Juanjuan?" asked Juanjuan while eating.

"Sort of. But with my mother in front of me, I don't feel tired anymore. Juanjuan tilted her head and said. I was very happy when I went out to play with my mother.

Xue Kemei heard this, glanced at Liu Chunjiang, and both of them felt a little guilty in their hearts.

"Juanjuan, in the past six months, my mother has been too busy with work and has no time to accompany you. Okay?"

"Now that I'm on summer vacation, I'm living here with you, and I can just let you take me to play every day. "Juanjuan is starting to be coquettish.

"Okay, okay, you're here with your mother this holiday, but your mother still has a job, you can play in the dormitory, and when your mother gets off work, she can play with you." ”

"Well, okay. "Juanjuan is a student after all, and she still understands some truths. Liu Chunjiang lit a cigarette and smoked it, waiting for the noodles to soften.
