all the way

Liu Xia opened his eyes, his eyes were dark, he moved his left arm, huh?no one?No, was it just a dream?Didn't he already go home and take a bath with the baby cat, and he joked that the ash powder rubbed off his body was as thick as a small rolling pin...

After touching the pager beside the bed and pressing it, at 5:00, Liu Xia got out of bed and ran out. The living room was not lit, and only a glimmer of light flowed from the closed door of the dining room.

The cat came out of the dining room with chopsticks when he heard the commotion, and saw Liu Xia was only wearing a trousers, ran over and pushed him to the bedroom: "It's so cold, what are you doing up? It's early, you go to sleep, go back and sit under the covers inside."

Liu Xia stretched out his arms to hug the cat: "Go and eat quickly, my uncle will put on his clothes and send you off."

The cat became anxious, and pulled him into the bedroom: "You sit on the quilt first, now the sky is sunny, there is no snow on the road, and the sky is long, it is almost dawn now, our classmates I went to school by myself, I didn’t ask my parents to send it to me, I rode my bike there after a while, it’s too unfair for you to run back and forth.”

Liu Xia sat on the edge of the bed and quickly put on his clothes: "Be obedient, hurry up and eat, my uncle is already up, and I won't be able to sleep even if I lie down. My uncle will go out for ten days at once, and I miss you so much, so I can send you off." Hold you for a while, why, don't you want my uncle to send you?"

How could Mao'er not want Liu Xia to send him off? He actually didn't want to learn, and he was always thinking about whether he should act coquettishly and ask Liu Xia to ask him for another leave.

However, he thought that today is Saturday, and it is not worthwhile to ask for leave. The somewhat embarrassing trick of acting like a baby should be used at critical moments, so he should ask for a whole day off next time when he misses his uncle very much.

Now, Mao'er listened to Liu Xia's words, although he was reluctant to get up early to see him off after he dozed off like that, but he couldn't help being happy in his heart, so he said honestly: "I want to."

Along the way, Mao'er hugged Liu Xia's waist and grinned foolishly. Liu Xia pinched his face and laughed at him: "He said he wouldn't let my uncle give it to me. Look, I wish I could grow on my uncle."

It's a ten-minute journey, and it will be there in a while. Liu Xia stopped the car, kissed the little guy on the forehead, carried him down, and stood there waiting to see him enter the school.

Mao'er said obediently: "Uncle, I'm leaving. I won't come to school this afternoon. I'll take Wang Hui's car to go back. Don't pick me up." Then he ran into the school.

Liu Xia watched him turn to a row of classrooms, then pushed the cart and turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around, the cat ran out quickly again, and almost collided with a student riding a car at the gate. He said "I'm sorry" and ran out of the gate, standing in the middle of the road, After watching Liu Xia's figure disappear at the end of the narrow street in the old city, he turned around and ran to the school again.

He was sitting in his seat, thinking about what Liu Xia would do when he returned home, when he suddenly remembered that he forgot to mention the message that Shi Ruiling asked him to bring to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia didn't dare to sleep again when he got home, he was afraid that he would sleep until dark again, so he sat under the quilt to read Liu Ling's letters and photos.

It's a very ordinary letter, nothing special. It's just that Liu Wei told Liu Xia to take care of herself when she volunteered. It is an easier way to survive and he can only make the most conservative choice. He hopes that Liu Wei will follow his hobbies and wishes, and it is worth taking a little risk for this.

There were dozens of photos, and Liu Xia looked at Maoer and Liu Ling holding hands and stretching out one arm in the crowd of skating to make a flying appearance, and laughed: "You stinky cat, look at you!" Beautiful, hehe, in the future, you will definitely live here, just like those people around you."

At the end, he found that there were a few photos that were not taken when they were playing in the past two days. They should have been taken by Liu Ling and Chen Zhenbei when they went out to play by themselves near the army station, and five of them were taken by Liu Ling alone. The common feature of these five photos is that they were all snap shots, and they were all taken by Liu Ling inadvertently.

Liu Xia has to admire, Chen Zhenbei's snapshots are very good, every picture of Liu Ling makes Liu Xia feel handsome and comfortable, and there is a picture of Liu Ling in the snow, as if he suddenly saw something very interesting in the distance That curious and pleasant smile is as bright as an innocent and carefree child.

Liu Xia felt that he hadn't seen Fifth Brother so relaxed and happy for a long time. Although he had never heard Liu Ling's confession and complaints, nor had he seen Liu Ling's heaviness or decadence, but the previous paragraph The fifth brother of time always makes him feel like he is carrying a big mountain.

Seeing Liu Ling like this today, Liu Xia felt his heart became lighter.

There are also two photos of Chen Zhenbei and Liu Ling standing together, with the white snow field behind them, probably asked passers-by to help take pictures, there is a large blank space on the top, but there is no foot in the bottom, the picture is very uncoordinated .

However, the words written by Chen Zhenbei at the back gave this photo a different taste: the heart is on the road, and it has nothing to do with the feet.

Liu Xia felt that Chen Zhenbei was sometimes delicate and sensitive, which did not match his usual image at all.

At eight o'clock, Liu Xia came to the department to report on time. Yue Desheng told him that several other people in the department formed two teams and had set off the day before yesterday to do preliminary surveying and mapping for a direct road from Yuancheng to Kaesong. Wu Xiaolin participated in this project .

There are still two projects assigned to their department. One is the reconstruction and expansion of Rongze Railway Station. It is a very small project, because there is a wheat field that is still muddy after the snow has melted, and no one can get in now, so we have to wait for another two days. Genius works.

One is the preliminary survey and mapping of a large-scale commercial housing project developed by Wenzhou people in Shangcheng County. This project has not been fully determined because of the payment method, but Ma Qianli asked them to get ready and start at any time.

Everyone in the team knew that if Ma Qianli released this in advance, it would mean that the project was already in his hands, and he was just striving for greater benefits.

Liu Xia said: "The weather is still cold, you stay at home, I will take people to the train station to start working from the old box office, and finally talk about the wheat field, if Shangcheng agrees, I will take people away, you Then continue at the train station."

Liu Xia was absolutely unwilling to leave Rongze to go to Shangcheng, but he couldn't let the elderly Yue Desheng go, and he chose the one close to home.

He has already heard that they have taken over a lot of small projects in Rongze this year. Most of the projects in the first half of this year will be concentrated in the vicinity of Rongze. He has gone out now, and when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, he can choose with peace of mind. In Rongze's project, he can accompany the cat back to his hometown or play around on Sundays.

Another point is that this kind of construction project usually does not take too long, and it takes up a lot of space to build a few buildings. Moreover, the topography of the land selected as residential land is generally not too complicated, and it will take only a few days. He can come back now. If he is greedy for comfort and doesn't go out now, and if he has to work remotely, the chances of his turn will be greatly increased.

Yue Desheng nodded with satisfaction: "That's how it is. You go up and tell Captain Ma that you have already led the team to work independently. If you take a longer leave in the future, you must report to the team leader when you come back. If there are major engineering operations, He's well organized."

Liu Xia ran to Ma Qianli's office three steps at a time. Ma Qianli was about to go out. When he saw him, he looked him up and down twice: "It seems that this vegetable has been scooped into the basket. Why don't you be so happy?"

Liu Xia chuckled.

Ma Qianli said: "As long as you do a good job in the team, the more you earn, the happier I am, but in the past few months, you can no longer take on jobs without my permission. We haven't moved for a month. Everyone I have lost a lot of bonuses, and you have to drive me out these few months."

Liu Xia nodded: "But according to the captain's order! Swords and guns are in flames, the officer only needs to say, and the little one will die."

Ma Qianli smiled and cursed "Stinky boy", took a pair of leather gloves and walked out with Liu Xia: "You should be poor with me, and then come to ask me for leave after taking the job quietly, don't dare to do this next time I will send you far away, not to mention earning extra money, and even your precious little nephew will not be seen by you."

Liu Xia hurriedly smiled and said, "There will never be a next time. I will report to you now. There may be another one from * county in the north of Hebei. The time has not yet been determined. They are poor there. Sister Wang is afraid that they will not be able to pay by then." Money, delay for me."

Ma Qianli nodded: "Understood, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Liu Xia got Ma Qianli's almost acquiescing attitude, and happily whistled all the way to the construction team to find someone.

Mao'er was thinking about it all afternoon at school, and was also depressed all afternoon, but when he got home and saw Liu Xia, he was so happy that he forgot what Shi Ruiling said again.

Tomorrow is Sunday, in order to finish my homework early, to be able to spend the whole day with my uncle tomorrow, and to cook a delicious meal for Liu Xia, Maoer refrained from going to the railway station construction site with Liu Xia in the afternoon.

After four o'clock, he had just finished his homework and put it away when he heard someone knock on the door. He came out and saw that Ma Pengcheng and Chu Hao were standing outside with their roller skates on.

As soon as the cat opened the door, Ma Pengcheng rushed in: "Liu An, I am so happy relying on you, why am I so unlucky that I can't be with such a dear uncle as Uncle Xiao Liu? Said that he broke up with the big beauty and vowed to support me for the rest of his life, if he can give me food or not, if he kicks me eight hundred miles away, I will be burned."

Chu Hao said unhurriedly: "Ma Pengcheng, if Aunt Su hears your words, I guess you will not be kicked eight hundred miles away, eight thousand miles may not be enough, right?"

Mao'er stopped Ma Pengcheng from entering the master bedroom: "What do you mean by that? My uncle broke up with a beautiful woman?"

Ma Pengcheng turned his head and walked to the restaurant: "Of course it's her cousin, Big Speaker. She is talking to a group of people at the basketball court now, telling them not to introduce anyone to your uncle in the future, and saying that Uncle Xiaoliu will go find someone this morning." Uncle Du Tao, I don't want her cousin anymore, because her cousin thinks it's wrong for you to live with Uncle Xiaoliu all the time.

Said Uncle Xiaoliu said, you are not a boarder, you two are a family, if you are unhappy, no one can live in this house, let alone now, even in the future when you get married and have sons and grandchildren, as long as you like it, you can live in it. I have been living here, and no one cares.

Huh, the big speaker is really not good. Her cousin is a woman, and she was kicked by Uncle Xiaoliu on her own initiative, and she actually went out to broadcast everywhere. What a fucking lack of understanding. Long hair and short knowledge mean she is a woman like her; Hey Liu An, I smell a delicious smell in your refrigerator, is it... the smell of donkey meat in sauce? "

Mao'er stared at Ma Pengcheng and Chu Hao for a few seconds, then asked Chu Hao, "Is what he said true?"

Chu Hao nodded: "He was in a hurry to find sauced donkey meat, so he didn't say much. The big speaker said that if anyone doesn't want her cousin, he will regret it later, saying that her cousin can't get along anywhere. She is so beautiful. But if you were born in a small county like Rongze, you have no chance, if you were born in a big city like Kyoto, you would have been a movie star long ago."

Mao'er reached out and pressed the refrigerator door to prevent Ma Pengcheng from rummaging: "Movie star? That's not disgusting. Sleep with this one today and kiss that one tomorrow. My uncle won't look for that kind of person. Ma Pengcheng, then It’s big meat, and a piece of cold oil has been picked up, are you starving to death?”

Ma Pengcheng ate a piece of pork ribs from the plate left over from lunch on the dining table. He didn't care at all when the cat yelled at him: "No, I just have a stepfather. He thinks I'm too fat and always asks me to lose weight."

The cat opened the refrigerator and took out the sauced donkey meat: "One piece is enough for one person, and it will be gone after eating. Ma Pengcheng, don't try to finish eating first and then pretend to be pitiful. Pretend that I won't give it to you again."

Ma Pengcheng smiled shamelessly: "One piece is one piece, bigger ones are fine, one piece is a catty and a half."

When the cat took out the meat, it was very distressing. The sauced donkey meat cost several yuan a catty. I left more than half of it for the third uncle, and I have about three catties left. The cat himself is not willing to eat too much at one time.

But the fact that Ma Pengcheng said just now is so pleasing, just give him a little bit.

Ma Pengcheng huddled beside the cat: "Liu An, I heard that donkey meat is more delicious with hot steamed buns."

The cat put the knife aside, picked up the meat and walked back.

Ma Pengcheng hurriedly tugged at him: "Don't, don't, I didn't say anything, donkey meat is the best to eat."

The cat turned back and continued to cut the meat.

Chu Hao said: "Ma Pengcheng, your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Your father is the captain. You can't embarrass him too much. If it gets out, let others know that you always come to other people's houses like a beggar. Yes, where do you make your father's face... Hey, Liu An, we are good friends, you can't be so snobbish, Ma Pengcheng's father is the captain and you give him an older one than mine, it's too disrespectful. "

Mao'er snatched back the donkey meat from the two of them, held it up in front of his eyes and compared it several times, and then... took a bite of Ma Pengcheng's piece: "Here, it's the same."

Ma Pengcheng took the piece of sauced donkey meat with a crescent-shaped opening, looked at it with wide eyes, and threw himself at Chu Hao with an "Aww": "Chu Hao, you idiot, you won't wait for me to finish eating before making any comments." ?"

The cat turned a blind eye to the two thick-skinned ones rolling on the sofa, wrapped the remaining sauced donkey meat and put it back in the refrigerator, picked up the minced meat on the chopping board and ate it, then smoked the fire and laid another piece of coal , Take a pot and add water.

What should I do for my uncle tonight?Egg sweet soup?Sweet potato porridge?Gold and silver porridge?

Just sweet egg soup, my uncle has been out for so many days, he must not be able to eat well every day, sweet egg soup nourishes the stomach.

Add hot and sour cabbage, stir-fry celery and bean curd, yes, there must be a hot donkey meat with steamed bun sauce.
