In the afternoon, Chen Hao drove out of the city and headed for Huizhou.

There is no mobile payment in this world, there is a lesson from the last time I went to Cainan, this time Chen Hao brought all the bank cards and took some money as a preparation.

It is not very far from Sioux City to Huizhou, and the whole journey is high-speed, and it only takes about three or four hours.

According to the address left by Liu Nian for himself, Chen Hao set up the navigation and went all the way to the north.

······

Huizhou is a place with mountains, and some are famous mountains.

The hustle and bustle of the city, with all kinds of fast-paced people have left the city to place their affection on the mountains and rivers, so it has become a tourist attraction that many people yearn for.

The road leading to the mountain is only a step road made of stone slabs, and there is no road leading to the mountain, and if the commissaries along the way need a source of goods, they have to use manpower to pick up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, so there is a profession in this place - mountain pickers.

Liu Zhuang is a senior practitioner of this profession, he is shirtless, his thin body is full of black shiny tendon flesh, and the folds and silver-white hair on his face show the vicissitudes of an ordinary laborer.

In the cramped shack at the foot of the mountain, he was wiping his upper body with cool water.

Not far away, Liu Nian walked over with some things she had just bought, and as soon as she arrived at the work shed, she stood still and looked blankly.

Liu Zhuang poured out a basin of cold water, inadvertently glanced at the people who were looking inside outside the fence, hurriedly put down the basin, and said with a smile: "Girl, why are you here?"

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Liu Nian is now looking at Liu Zhuang like this, and he feels very uncomfortable: "Dad, I'm on vacation now, come and see you!"

Seeing relatives, there were not so many restraints, Liu Zhuang happily moved out of the wooden house a wooden bench: "You came here, does your mother know?"

Liu Nian sat down and began to rummage through the box: "I just got off the train and came to you, I didn't tell her, Dad, these are all bought for you, can you try to fit?"

Liu Nian's box was basically stuffed with clothes, all of which he bought with Chen Hao when he was in Suzhou City.

How could Liu Zhuang not be happy when his daughter bought new clothes, so he hurriedly picked them up and looked left and right: "Such a good dress, two sets, it will cost a lot of money, right? If your mother knows, she will definitely have to say you, I just received my salary today, you take it!"

Liu Zhuang said, and took out a stack of banknotes from his trouser pocket, including 100 yuan, 10 yuan, and 10 yuan and a few yuan of change, which looked very fragmentary.

Liu Nian hurriedly organized: "Dad, you don't have to give me money, these clothes were bought with my own money, not the money my mother and that man gave me." ”

Liu Zhuang put some money in his hand and said, "My daughters have grown into big girls, Dad is going to cook, you sit down!"

Liu Nian grinned and nodded: "Dad, I haven't been here for a long time, I'll walk around first." ”

There is no place at the foot of this mountain, Liu Nian is very familiar with it, because she grew up here, if it weren't for the appearance of the man who claimed to be her biological father five years ago, her family would be a happy family, why would Liu Zhuang be like this, and make a living by helping people pick things?

Liu Nian looked at this man who had worked hard for himself all his life, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, although the final hospital identification results proved that he and he were actually not related by blood, but this did not affect the father-daughter relationship in the past few decades, and she shouted so naturally this 'dad'.

Seeing Liu Zhuang busy in front of the small stove, Liu Nian touched his pocket, pinched the bank card inside, and suddenly had the idea of wanting to use the money inside, although she always thought that the money here was Chen Hao's, and she couldn't use it indiscriminately.

In less than half an hour, Liu Zhuang put two small plates of dishes on the wooden table in the courtyard: "Eat quickly, they are your favorite dishes, and it just so happened that Dad bought some meat today." ”

Looking at the food on the table, although it was extremely simple, Liu Nian had a great appetite and hurriedly took the chopsticks to eat.

"Dad, don't go to pick up jobs in the future, look at you, your hair is so white. ”

Liu Zhuang shook his head helplessly: "How can a person not have gray hair when he is old? Besides, just like me, what else can I do besides helping people pick up some things and doing some coolies?"

"Now that the cable car is ready, a lot of things are transported by cable car, and I just check the cheap at the back, and I can't get a few jobs a day, you see, I only took on one trip today. ”

Liu Nian decided that she couldn't let Liu Zhuang do this business anymore this time no matter what, and she hurriedly said: "I will graduate in one semester, and I can go to work and work for you to provide for your old age." ”

Liu Zhuang shook his head: "No, if you let your mother know, she should talk about you again, I... I'm just a... Alien. ”

When Liu Zhuang said this, Liu Nian's big tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes, and it seemed that tears were the standard for every kind girl.

The small courtyard in Liu Nian's coffee shop made her feel extra warm, because it was very similar to the small courtyard of the shack under the mountain.

For her, even if it is a luxurious villa, she is not in a hurry for one thousandth of this small courtyard.

"I called your father for 20 years, then I am your daughter, whether I am biological or not, you are my father, and my daughter supports her father, what's wrong?"

"But..." Liu Zhuang wanted to say something, but he wanted to say it again: "Forget it, girl!"

Liu Nian doesn't want to go back here, that is, every time she comes back, she will fall into such sadness, just twenty kilometers away in the villa group, her 'new home' is there, tens of thousands of square meters of rooms, luxurious decoration, but Liu Nian doesn't feel the slightest warmth there, and will inadvertently become the object of being excluded, those who claim to be their own brothers and sisters and people of the same age as themselves.

There is also the biological father who only has a dead and calm face all day long, and hates himself for being scolding at every turn.

At this time, Liu Nian's mobile phone rang, and after looking at the screen, his face sank a lot.

As soon as I pressed it to hear it, a stern voice came from the earpiece: "Shouldn't you have arrived early, why don't you go home now?"

A voice came from the phone that was snatched by another person: "You are really a person, can't you talk well?" Xiao Nian, I'm my mother's ······."

Answering this call, Liu Nian always had an expression, if it weren't for this title, she wouldn't have gone to that cold villa to see those cold faces anyway.

The other side said a lot, Liu Nian just said lightly: "I'm playing outside, I'll go back when I've had enough, you don't need to prepare food or anything, you don't have an appetite, you can eat by yourself." ”

Liu Zhuang cleaned up all the things that Liu Nian had messed up just now: "Go back quickly!"

"Dad, my cabin is still there, I'll stay here tonight!"

Liu Zhuang looked embarrassed: "Yes, but girl, you better go back quickly, your father and mother are waiting for you!"

Liu Nian shook her head and packed everything into the house, here, she was rarely willful.
