all the way

Liu Xia and the others worked continuously for two weeks. On the second Saturday afternoon, when they finished work with their instruments, Luo Shuiwang said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, let's take a day off tomorrow. Everyone hurry up and do urgent things. Monday We set off on time at seven o'clock in the morning, and if there are no accidents, we will have to work until the 25th of the lunar calendar.

This project is different from other projects in that it has special time requirements. As long as the weather permits, we must hurry up to work. Otherwise, the temperature will rise sharply in a year, the upstream will freeze, and the spring flood will be early, and we will not be able to complete the task. "

After listening to Luo Shuiwang's words, Liu Xia was really sad and happy:

Finally he can rest for a day, and it is still Sunday, synchronized with the cat, he can spend a day with the cat at ease, and take him to buy clothes and other things for the New Year.

Are you going to do it until then?Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother will be back soon, and Maoer will start the exam next week. Although the school will not publicly say that it will be a holiday after the exam, in fact, there is no need to study anymore.

That is to say, everyone came back from vacation to prepare for the New Year, only Liu Xia had to go to work on time or even overtime. Even if Liu Xia loves work, hearing such things will inevitably feel disturbing.

Back at work, Liu Xia jumped out of the car and looked in the direction of his home. Today he saw not only the lights in the windows, but also two people, one big and one small, in the corridor.

"Third brother, you're back too?" Liu Xia asked loudly.

Liu Chuan waved to him: "The meal is ready, come here quickly."

The cat clapped on the railing of the corridor and said: "Braised pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and more, hurry up, uncle."

Zheng Chaoyang and several other workers smiled and said to Liu Xia: "Xiao Liu, go back first, we are in a hurry when we hear so many delicious things, and we packed up just a few things; Luo Gong, Xiao Wu , you guys go too."

Of the few newcomers who reported on New Year's Day, only Wu Xiaolin majored in surveying and mapping. He only entered Liu Xia's Yellow River surveying and mapping team this Monday. A leader of the General Administration called Ma Qianli, and Wu Xiaolin was arranged to come in.

What Wu Xiaolin is doing now is completely a worker's job, but this does not wrong him at all. Not to mention comparing with Luo Shuiwang and Liu Xia, even compared with skilled technical workers like Zheng Chaoyang, he still has a long way to go professionally.

Apart from doing chores, Wu Xiaolin now has to take turns cooking lunch with Zheng Chaoyang and the others; Luo Shuiwang, Liu Xia and the driver Du Tao are the only ones in the team who don't need to cook.

On the first day, Luo Shuiwang cooperated with Liu Xia for a field operation at noon. After reading his sketches and preliminary data calculations at noon, he was used as a mature old engineer in the afternoon.

Luo Shuiwang picked up the things he was using, waved his hands and left. Working with the current group of people, he can save his mind and can complete a day's work smoothly and with high quality without even saying a word.

Wu Xiaolin stomped his feet and rubbed his face and said, "Xiao Liu, shall I go find you tomorrow?"

Liu Xia and Zheng Chaoyang nodded their goodbyes, ran upstairs and said, "I'll get it to you later, it's still under the box, I have to dig it out tonight."

When Liu Xia stepped up the last step, the cat appeared accurately and hung around his neck: "Uncle San will be back before five o'clock, and the two of us made you a big plate of braised pork and steamed three big sweet potatoes ;I have finished all my homework;

I also wrote five characters, and today I am presenting "Ode to Dead Trees".

The writing is really beautiful, but the third uncle said that my visit is not bad, and it is getting better and better. "

Liu Xia rubbed his little butt hard: "Look at how proud you are, you memorize it so well, did you use any of the sentences when you wrote the composition? Besides, you have practiced for so many years, if you can't do it again Post, then there is no need to keep these little claws."

Liu Chuan lifted the cotton curtain and let them in: "Well, you should keep these little paws, or you won't be able to eat authentic Liu An's special braised pork in the future, go and taste it quickly, the level of the little smelly cat It's close to your third brother."

The cat jumped off Liu Xia, ran into the kitchen, and soon came out with a piece of braised pork in his chopsticks and a plate in his left hand: "Uncle, here."

Liu Xia opened his mouth: "Ah, um... um, it's delicious, baby cat, let's have another piece."

The cat happily ran into the kitchen and grabbed another piece to feed Liu Xia.

Liu Chuan filled the rice and said: "I'll warn you both in advance, if you continue to be like Xiaoyun and Xiaolei and rush to eat without waiting for the meal to be served, then there will be no rules in the future. If you want to find a girlfriend who is from a scholarly family with a high level of education, they only need to take a look at your eating habits."

Liu Xia swallowed the braised pork, and exaggeratedly made a delicious expression: "Then I will find a green forest school girlfriend who eats meat like Sun Erniang and drinks in a big bowl. I must appreciate my eating like this."

Mao'er took the things from Liu Xia's hand: "Go and wash your face uncle, eat after washing, there is a big plate!"

Then he turned to Liuchuan: "What's wrong with my uncle's eating habits? Anyone who has been working for a long time and is so hungry will eat a lot of food, right? It's Miss Jiao from a scholarly family. You let her pick dung in the ground for a long time and return When I get home, I will definitely have to gobble up my meals like this, and it’s okay to eat with my little finger up, but if I do it like that every day, she won’t starve to death.”

Liu Xia said in the bathroom: "Wrong, baby cat, if someone from a scholarly family does the work of picking manure in the field, he will definitely not gobble up when he comes home, but will not eat at all. He will sit in front of the window and talk to each other." Looking at the moon full of grief and indignation, shedding tears, lamenting the ups and downs and injustice of fate, eating is so vulgar!"

Liu Chuan pressed the cat on the small chair: "You two are enough, you sing together, are you talking about cross talk with me?"

With enough time, and the result of the joint efforts of Liu Chuan and Maoer, the content of the dinner is really quite rich. Liu Xia felt that if he ate one more shredded potato, his stomach would burst.

He sat on the edge of the bed and touched his belly, commanding the cat to pull out the cardboard box where the books were placed, and turned his freshman textbooks inside out.

This is what Wu Xiaolin wants to borrow to watch. He is in a junior college with a three-year schooling system, and he also majored in surveying and mapping. However, after seeing Wu Xiaolin's performance in the past few days, Liu Xia can't think of what he did during school. Liu Xia felt that Mao Jianyong and Yun Jian, who were the least diligent in their dormitory, were many times better than Wu Xiaolin in casually doing anything.

After Wu Xiaolin arrived at the work area with their team on the first day, Luo Shuiwang asked him to help Liu Xia collect statistics, but that guy made a mess. If it wasn't for Liu Xia's good habits, no matter who was responsible for recording the data, he would have nothing to do with him. If they had to take a look after a while to check whether the records were accurate, then they would have to redo all the work that morning, so Wu Xiaolin couldn't hold his head up in front of several other people these days.

Today, during a short break after lunch, Wu Xiaolin secretly approached Liu Xia and said that he wanted to borrow the books he had read in college. It was enough for work, but he didn't say it when he saw Wu Xiaolin's pitiful and ashamed face.

At the same time, he also felt that it was very difficult for Wu Xiaolin to think of reading books to make amends, and to open his mouth to borrow books from a colleague younger than himself, so he agreed without hesitation.

You know, Liu Xia is obsessed with books, he doesn't like to lend his books to others, especially college textbooks, he intends to keep them for the rest of his life.

Watching the cat take out the books one by one, Liu Xia deliberately pretended to be casual and said: "Tomorrow is Sunday, take a day off, what should I do?"

The cat turned her head and stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly threw the book in her hand, jumped up, and threw herself on him: "Are you resting tomorrow? Uncle, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, right? Oh oh oh, Uncle doesn't go to work tomorrow, I can see him all day..."

Liu Xia turned over, turned the kicking and writhing cat on top of him onto the bed, covered his stomach and yelled: "You little smelly cat, don't dare to press it anymore, press uncle's again!" My stomach just collapsed."

The cat quickly sat up, stretched his hand into Liu Xia's cotton-padded jacket, touched his stomach and asked, "I forgot, I won't press it anymore, rub it. Uncle, are you really resting tomorrow?"

After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Liu Chuan came over and sat on the feet of the two of them, and asked, "Yaoer, are you really resting tomorrow?"

Liu Xia stretched out his hand to help the cat unbutton his jacket and said, "Well, take a day off, and then you may have to work until around the 26th of the lunar calendar. Be good, take off your clothes and let's sit in bed and talk warmly."

Liu Chuan also sat under the bed wearing a padded jacket, Liu Xia stripped the cat down to the bottom of his trousers, and sat under the bed wearing a down jacket, with the cat lying comfortably in his arms.

Liu Xia said to Liu Chuan: "Third brother, since you're back, I'll tell you back. Every penny you save is one penny. I want to buy a [-] bicycle with a slanted beam for Mao'er..."

"No, I don't want it!" Cat yelled and sat up, naked and said to Liu Xia: "We just spent 600 yuan on the washing machine a few days ago, I originally wanted to save [-] yuan this month , and ended up saving two hundred, it’s only been a few days, and you want to spend money indiscriminately again, I..."

Liu Xia pulled up the quilt to wrap him up: "Come in and tell me, I've caught a cold."

The cat didn’t give it to him, but struggled and continued: “Let me tell you, I just like our big bicycle now. When you are not at home, I ride it to school by myself. When you come back, you can ride it and take me to school.” , don’t buy a bicycle anymore, I won’t ride it if I buy one!”

Liu Xia stretched out his arms and pulled him into his arms, and covered him with the quilt: "Be good, let's not buy a bicycle, don't buy it.

Ma Pengcheng and Chu Hao are just like you, they should be on vacation soon, and they will come here as soon as they are on vacation. Don't you want to go roller skating with Ma Pengcheng?Tomorrow, let's go to Yuancheng with a few other members of our team, and just buy some New Year's clothes and roller skates, okay? "

Some time ago, Liu Chuan took time to visit several shopping malls in Yuancheng, but none of them had the kind of roller skates that Ma Pengcheng wore.

Liu Chuan usually pushes himself very hard in the police academy, just like Liu Xia who just entered college, he spends almost all his spare time every day going to the library to read professional books, and on Sundays he is always in a hurry to return home. Rong Ze, I really don't have much time to run around looking for a pair of shoes, and now he's on vacation again.

Liu Xia heard from Du Tao the day before yesterday that only a few sporting goods stores on Renmin Road sold the roller skates that Ma Pengcheng wore, so he decided to take the cat to buy them himself.

As for the small bicycle, it seems that this plan can only be abandoned first.

Liu Xia knows Mao'er very well. Although the little guy is usually obedient to him, but when it comes to money, the little guy is very stubborn. He can readily agree to spend a lot of money to buy things that he feels are right for Liu Xia. The hero or family members are of great use, otherwise, the little guy will be so distressed.

As for this small bicycle, Liu Xia couldn't explain how important and useful it was to him. He couldn't say that he liked riding a small bicycle, could he?If he said it, not to mention cats would not believe it, even mice would not believe it.

Therefore, the matter of the small bicycle has to be figured out slowly.

When the cat heard that there was no need to spend money to buy a bicycle, it immediately relaxed and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Liu Chuan stared at the ceiling and exhaled, and said to Liu Xia: "See? Cats are good at taking care of the house. As long as I can save a little more money, I am happy to go to school with a big car like that."

Liu Xia pinched the tip of Mao'er's nose and said, "My dear cat, are you determined to save us into a million-dollar household?"

Mao'er put one leg on Liu Xia's waist, and rubbed his head against Liu Xia's chest vigorously. He looked at Liu Xia with black eyes, and his little thief looked very happy, which seemed to be acquiescence.

Liu Chuan said: "Well, it sounds very fulfilling. I will soon have a brother with ten thousand households. I feel very confident!"

The night before, Maoer was in a relaxed and happy mood because he managed to keep the more than 200 yuan in his pocket from being given to profiteers selling bicycles. When Qian bought the navy blue children's down jacket, he was so shocked that his muscles were cramped and dripping with blood.

Then there are roller skates, woolen sweaters, suede shoes, and trousers with two stripes at the seams. The cat was so angry that he almost smashed the glass door of the store, and he didn’t care about the uncle, he ran alone Back to the car.

Today, they came to Yuancheng in the car driven by Du Tao together with several other members of Liu Xia's temporary surveying and mapping team. Some of them had already finished shopping and returned to the car.

Mao'er got into the car and found a seat by the window and sat down, puffed up his face, and looked out the window angrily. When Liu Xia came back, he sat next to him, and he let out a "hum" and leaned against the window. Damn, it means resolutely drawing a clear line with Liu Xia.

Du Tao looked at Liu Xia in surprise, and asked with his mouth: "What's the matter? Your little nephew still has trouble with you? Oh, did I see the devil?"

Now, everyone in the hydrographic team knows that Liu Xia's nephew is smart and well-behaved. At such a young age, he not only studies well, writes well, but is also very capable. He will take the initiative to cook for Liu Xia after school.

The most important point is that this child does not have the capricious and selfish problems of other spoiled children. He never gets angry with a word that doesn't suit him. This child is always content and happy.

What's going on today?

A few more people came back, because most of them brought their family members with them today, and there were not enough seats, so everyone sat crowded together.

Liu Xia grabbed Mao'er's ear, Mao'er stood up, Liu Xia moved to his seat, pulled Mao'er to sit on his lap.

Although Mao'er was forced to sit on Liu Xia's lap, she still looked out of the window with her little neck on her back, looking further away, as if she would never reconcile with Liu Xia.

Zheng Chaoyang brought his wife to buy clothes for his wife and children today, and now he was sitting behind Liu Xia. He poked Liu Xia on the shoulder and asked softly, "What fun did you see that you didn't buy?"

Liu Xia didn't know how to answer. If he mentioned down jackets, suede shoes, and wool sweaters when explaining to others, the little guy would probably be furious on the spot.

Liu Xia scratched his head: "No, it's because I didn't plan well and spent money randomly, that..."

Mao'er "hummed" again in front, expressing his disdain for Liu Xia's open-eyed nonsense.

Liu Xia grinned at Zheng Chaoyang, and Zheng Chaoyang and his wife Li Ling laughed silently.

Back to the hydrology team and got off the car, Mao'er was still walking ahead alone. Liu Xia caught up with him with big bags and small bags, but he didn't call him to speak. He went up to the second floor to see if there was no one else around. , Liu Xiacai said: "Hey, don't be angry, I know I was wrong, next time I will listen to you, what you want to buy, what you don't want to buy, even if it's a dime and a catty of gold, my uncle will be firm." Not buying."

The cat just walked forward: "I don't believe it, you promised me that last time, and you said that you would not spend money on clothes for me this year, so today you are still spending money on random shopping? "

Mao'er took out the key to open the door, and continued to scold Liu Xia: "You don't listen to me every time, as long as people buy things with sweet words, you take it seriously, and you dare to buy it no matter how expensive it is. You spend money like this all day long. When will we..."

The door closed with a bang.

Wan Jianye opened the door with a trash basket and walked out, looked at Liu Xia's closed door, turned to Guo Liping and said, "Tell me, who is the uncle and who is the nephew?"
