What his father Cao Jianguo said made Cao Shujie laugh: "Dad, no matter how hard you work, you have to take a break. It's normal to go out for a walk while taking a break."
It sounded like that was the case, so Cao Jianguo did not discuss the issue any further.
Cao Shujie drove gradually closer to Huaxi Mountain, and looked up along the slope of the mountain. As soon as he looked up, he could see a large area of deep red that reflected the mountains and fields, making it look like the mountains were dressed in red. It was particularly beautiful.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Mengmeng shouted in surprise from the back seat.
Although this place is only more than 100 kilometers away from Caojiazhuang, Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan have never been here. Seeing the scenery here, their eyes lit up, and they felt that it was right to follow their son.
.
"Shujie, it's so beautiful here!" Wang Yuelan also looked out through the car glass, it's so beautiful!
The car went up the road up the mountain, and there was a parking area halfway up the mountain.
Cao Shujie and the others arrived quite early and easily found an empty parking space on the mountainside.
As soon as the car was parked, Mengmeng couldn't wait to get out, but Cao Shujie turned on the child lock. No matter how strong Mengmeng's hands were, she couldn't open the door from the inside.
"Dad, I can't open it." Mengmeng pressed the door handle inside, feeling aggrieved and asked her father for help.
Before Cao Shujie got out of the car and opened the rear door, Cheng Xiaolin said to her: "Mengmeng, if you continue to be so irritable, I won't want you anymore."
"If you don't want it, just don't want it. I don't want you yet." Mengmeng pouted and said stubbornly.
His attitude on the lips was as tough as ever.
But when Cao Shujie opened the door outside, Cheng Xiaolin got out of the car without hugging her. Mengmeng immediately started yelling, not as arrogant as before.
In the end, Wang Yuelan hugged her and got out of the car. Cao Shujie went to open the trunk and took out a black backpack and his daughter's cute stroller.
"Mengmeng, are you taking the car?" Cao Shujie asked her.
After hearing this, the little guy shook his head: "No, I'll go by myself."
Before she could finish her words, for fear that her father would carry her to the trolley, she ran forward by herself. The speed was so fast that even Wang Yuelan, a grandmother, could not catch up with her.
"Mengmeng, there is a car, please run slowly." Cheng Xiaolin became anxious now.
At this point, cars are driving up from below one after another. Mengmeng has no traffic awareness at all, and her ability to adapt is also very poor. Even if a car comes next to her, she cannot avoid it.
Cheng Xiaolin still regretted why she was angry with Mengmeng.
When Mengmeng heard her mother calling her, she immediately used the foot brake to stop in place, then turned around and ran towards Cheng Xiaolin.
When she arrived at her mother's side, she rushed forward and hugged her mother's legs with a smile on her face.
Wang Yuelan also said to her: "Mengmeng, why are you running so fast? Grandma can't even catch you."
"Hehe, grandma." Mengmeng ran to grandma again and held grandma's hand with great discernment. Cheng Xiaolin couldn't laugh or cry every time she saw her daughter like this. She felt that she was a villain and quite understanding of the world.
.
Cao Shujie and his father Cao Jianguo were walking behind.
Cao Jianguo stretched out his hand and said to his son: "Shujie, give me the cart and I'll push it."
He wasn't used to not having anything to do.
Cao Shujie probably knew what his father was thinking, so he handed the cart over.
Cheng Xiaolin was really afraid that her daughter would run wild and get into an accident, so she didn't dare to let go and let her run wild no matter what she said later.
They followed the arrows on the road sign and kept walking upwards. Not long after, they came to a flat area surrounded by cotin trees with red leaves.
There are many small tents set up on the flat lawn not far away, and many children are getting in and out of the tents.
When Mengmeng saw this scene, she looked at those tents eagerly and was particularly envious.
Unfortunately, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were not familiar with this place. They did not prepare enough strategies and did not prepare tents at all.
Seeing that her daughter Mengmeng looked a little disappointed, Cheng Xiaolin bent down and said to her: "Mengmeng, let's bring a tent over next time we come here so you can have fun, okay?"
Mengmeng heard her mother say this, and a smile appeared on her face: "Okay!"
"Then let's go and take a look further ahead." Cheng Xiaolin pointed to the front and said, "There are a lot of fun things over there."
"Mom, let's go quickly." Mengmeng grabbed her mother Cheng Xiaolin's hand and ran forward.
Cao Shujie and his father Cao Jianguo were walking slowly behind with things in hand, looking at the surrounding scenery. Cao Jianguo pondered for a while and said: "Shujie, you said we should plant more trees and flowers on that mountain and make it better."
It has to be more beautiful, can we sell tickets like here?"
"..." Cao Shujie turned to look at his father, almost thinking he heard wrongly.
I didn't expect that his father was quite financially savvy.
When he bought a small trailer for his daughter last time, he casually talked about Taobao. Unexpectedly, his father began to wonder if they could sell fruit on Taobao.
This time it was more direct. When he saw Huaxi Mountain, his father was already considering developing the mountain where they planted fruit trees into a tourist attraction.
"Dad, you are so awesome." Cao Shujie said seriously: "This has made you think."
Cao Jianguo thought his son wanted to say something, but when he heard what he said, he didn't care at all: "What's so rare about this? It's just a matter of following the gourd, and anyone with a little brain can think of it."
"..." Cao Shujie didn't want to speak, he had just remembered that thought.
After this delay, the two of them walked much slower. Wang Yuelan called to them from the front: "I said you two can walk quickly. I can't wait to go to the front to play even if I don't see Mengmeng."
"Go quickly, go quickly, don't let your mother keep nagging you." Cao Jianguo looked like he had a headache.
Cao Shujie laughed and chased forward with his father.
Huaxi Mountain is divided into six levels from high to low. The second level is similar to the first level. There is a saying in Huaxi Mountain, which is to return to nature and experience life.
Tourists who come here to visit all set up camp here, wanting to escape from the busy city life and come to Huaxi Mountain, which is not a peach blossom garden, but is better than a peach blossom garden, and feel the charm of nature among the green water and red mountains.
There happened to be a tour guide nearby, and the team that was brought to her said: "Everyone, follow me and look this way. In front of you is an ancient grand canyon that still retains its original style. It has an original atmosphere of life. If we can bring
If you have a tent, you can camp here, listen to the birdsong, watch nature, and enjoy the happiness that the beautiful scenery and delicious food bring to us.”
After finishing speaking, the female tour guide, who looked to be in her thirties, immediately put her finger on her lips and made a 'shush' sound. When everyone around her quieted down, she then put her hands on her ears and said with a smile: "
Listen, can there be a hundred birds singing in unison?"
Seeing her like this, many individual guests around her subconsciously closed their mouths and listened intently, even Cao Shujie and the others were no exception.
Cao Jianguo even paused his breathing, holding his breath and listening carefully to the chirping of birds.
‘Hundred birds’ is obviously a function word, but if you listen carefully, there are indeed many different bird sounds.
Or crisp and sweet, echoing with the sound of wind chimes, or like the sharp chirping of an eagle...
"Did everyone hear it?" the female tour guide asked.
Someone subconsciously responded: "I heard it, there are so many birds!"
But there are also some who are not gregarious, such as a little baby like Mengmeng who cannot resonate with the sounds of birds in nature. She is not interested at all. When she sees her parents and grandparents, they stop moving forward. She starts
She became anxious and took Cheng Xiaolin and Wang Yuelan's hands: "Mom, let's go quickly."
"Mengmeng, you are so disappointing!" Cheng Xiaolin complained to her.
But Mengmeng didn't understand. She scratched her head and looked at her mother blankly, not understanding what she was talking about.
After leaving here, they continued to walk up. The sight in front of them suddenly became clearer. It felt like they were walking out of a narrow canyon. A large trumpet shape was formed outside the mouth of the canyon. Looking further away, it was easier to see
See the whole picture.
At this time, you will find that there are layers of terraces in front of you, but the scope of this terrace is a bit large.
"Shujie, let's go further up. I heard they said there is a place for singing up there," Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie nodded, but the ground here was uneven and there were many naturally growing vegetation, so the trolley was frequently blocked here.
"Why don't you ask if there is storage here? If so, put the cart here first." Cheng Xiaolin said.
She also noticed that her husband and father-in-law were pushing Mengmeng’s stroller behind them, walking very slowly.
When Cao Jianguo heard what his daughter-in-law said, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It only weighs a few kilograms. It should be easy to walk after this section."
"Dad, Mengmeng doesn't want to ride in the car either, so why not put it down first and take it back when we get back." While Cheng Xiaolin was looking around, she had already discovered a long table in front of her, with two staff members sitting there.
Behind the table, there were many packages and trolleys beside them.
"Shujie, go over and ask if it can be temporarily stored there," Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie didn't want to take it anymore. The higher he went, the harder it would be to walk. He would have to hold Mengmeng in his arms later, and carrying a small car would be a burden.
When I asked, it was really a temporary storage point in the scenic spot. The care fee was only 10 yuan, so what else could I say? Cao Shujie directly handed the staff 10 yuan and received two signs with the number 72 written on it.
According to what the staff told him, he tied one of them to the trolley, stretched out the rubber band of the other one, and hung it on his wrist. When he got off later, he had to use the number plate to get the trolley.
Without the cart, their speed has indeed improved a lot.
Climbing up another level, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him. Cao Shujie was just wondering when he heard a song coming from the front: "Let me pick off your heart/Try to melt it slowly."
/See if I am still perfect in your heart/Whether you still care about me at all..."
But it was one of Wu Bai's most classic masterpieces, "Norwegian Wood". It was also a song with a very high request rate in KTV. Cao Shujie even subconsciously started humming along with it.
But Mengmeng who was following him was very embarrassed. She covered her ears with her hands: "Dad, it sounds so unpleasant!"
"..." Cao Shujie really wanted to slap her in the face to let her know that her father was not someone to be trifled with.
"Shujie, please stop singing, let's leave quickly." In order to avoid damaging her ears, Cheng Xiaolin didn't even want to stay on this floor any longer.
Even Cao Jianguo looked at him with disgust: "Shujie, you can't sing as well as me."
After saying that, he walked up.
Cao Shujie looked at his father's back and thought to himself: "Dad, where did you get your confidence? Have you lost your confidence?"
Unknowingly, a whole morning passed and they reached the top level in one breath.
After arriving here, Mengmeng's eyes instantly became like 100W light bulbs, frighteningly bright.
No matter who comes here for the first time, they would never expect that there are still mountains, water, trees, and nature below, but the top floor is full of recreational facilities for children.
A tree house hollowed out from a whole big tree, a slide made of hard PVC, a sandpit made of sand transported from unknown sources, and a swing hung from two big crooked trees.
"Dad, look, mom, look."
Mengmeng shouted happily, she liked it here.
The next moment, without waiting for Cheng Xiaolin to hold her hand, she ran forward first.
They arrived quite early and were not delayed by other attractions on the way. There happened to be no other children playing here, so Mengmeng ran over and grabbed a swing.
When I lived in Xingheyuan Community in Beijing, there were many entertainment facilities for children in the small garden in the center of the community. At that time, there were 6 swings alone. Mengmeng’s favorite thing to do was to let her mother take her to swing.
.
Holding the iron chain wrapped in fabric with her left hand, Mengmeng turned her back to the swing and began to skillfully lift her right leg so that her buttocks would face the belt.
Unfortunately, the swing was a bit high and she was a bit short. She tried raising her legs several times but failed.
At this moment, Mengmeng became anxious: "Mom, give me a hug."
"Mengmeng, I usually ask you to eat more, but if you don't eat, you will regret it now." Cheng Xiaolin said to her.
How could Mengmeng be in the mood to listen to this? She shouted loudly in a high-pitched voice: "Mom!"
"Okay, okay, Mengmeng, please stop shouting and let me quiet my ears for a while." Cheng Xiaolin shouted, went over and carried her daughter to sit on the swing, and was stretching out her hands to protect her while she was playing slowly, Cao Shujie
He walked over and said, "Honey, you go and rest on the chair over there for a while. I'll watch her."
Although they climbed up from the mountainside, they often had to stop and hug Mengmeng. Cheng Xiaolin was really tired at the moment, her legs were sore, her arms ached, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Mengmeng was also very filial and knew to let her mother have a good rest. She turned around and saw her father behind her, so she shouted loudly: "Dad, hurry up."
"You are so capable!" Cao Shujie complained to her.
But Mengmeng didn't listen, she wasn't tired and had a great time.
Just like that, Mengmeng stayed on the top floor and refused to leave. Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan, the old couple, went to take a look around.
It's hard to get up, but easy to get down.
They went down directly on the special air mattress for grass skiing on the other side. The whistling wind blew past their ears. They sat on the air mattress and swayed along with the uneven ground. Before they felt anything, they were already halfway up the mountain.
