The lush foliage of the big trees blocked the scorching midday sun. There were a few mottled grains that mischievously bypassed the trees, which added some brilliance to the grove.
He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the grass in this small forest was cut very neatly, and there were no stones that hurt his feet. Instead, there were a few small flowers that bloomed beautifully, making people wonder if it was a careless farmer who had scattered the flower seeds.
There were quite a few tourists who chose to rest in this small forest. The few stone chairs and tables had been firmly occupied. A few people who did not care would choose to sit on the moist grass, but most of them were still reserved. They were still worried that their clothes would be stained with grass and mud.
They looked enviously at the father and daughter who were the only ones with picnic equipment. They could only sigh and turn away.
"Come and drink some milk." Yang Yi unscrewed the lid of the thermos flask, poured a cup of warm milk from the lid, and handed it to Xi Xi. "It's a little hot. Drink it slowly."
Xi Xi had already eaten two pieces of Ning Le chicken wings. The little girl didn't pay much attention to eating, and there was a little oil on her face. However, she was very careful and threw the chicken wing bones into the garbage bag opened by her father, for fear that they would touch her little dress and make it look bad.
Yang Yi smiled and sat aside. After watching Xi Xi drink a mouthful of milk, he turned his attention to some of the snacks that her father had made.
Although Yang Yi had prepared a lot of delicious food, most of it was prepared for Xi Xi. He ate more simply, a large beef and tomato sandwich, and a few pieces of Ning Le chicken wings left by Xi Xi. Then, he slowly drank the fine black tea that he had brewed and watched the little girl's performance.
It was not suitable to bring stir-fried vegetables for a picnic, and Xi Xi was not used to the taste of vegetable salad. Therefore, Yang Yi prepared a lot of fruits for her, such as red and tender strawberries, small and exquisite cherry tomatoes, and peeled and cut Apple.
But after all, Xi Xi was a little girl less than four years old. She was full in a short while. She happily squeezed into her father's arms and found a support. Then, she smiled sweetly and said, "I'm so satisfied!"
Yang Yi reached out and scratched the little girl's nose. He smiled and said, "Your stomach is bulging. You're going to become a little fat girl."
"No, no, Xi Xi doesn't want to become a little fat girl." Xixi wriggled her body and sat up unwillingly. She touched her little belly a little worriedly and looked at her father in a panic. "But, it's really bulging! What should I do? "
Yang Yi stopped teasing her. He smiled and rubbed Xi Xi's little head and said, "Well, our Xi Xi is gifted. She won't get fat no matter how much she eats. What are you afraid of?"
"My hair is messed up!" Xi Xi grabbed her father's hand and said unhappily.
"It's okay. You sleep for a while. When you get up in the afternoon to see the flowers, Dad will tie your hair again." Yang Yi held the little girl in his arms and said softly.
Now the sun was blazing outside. Yang Yi wanted to let Xi Xi take a nap. When it was three or four o 'clock, he would take the little girl out to see the flowers.
"Then, I want to do what I did in the morning!" Xi Xi looked up at her father with her big bright eyes that were like black gems.
"Well, no problem!"
In the small forest, although there were still some tourists who came to enjoy the shade talking, everyone consciously lowered their voices. With the breeze blowing and the leaves swaying, Xi Xi snuggled in her father's arms and soon fell asleep.
Of course, Yang Yi didn't sleep. He was a little worried about being outdoors. Money was just a worldly possession. The most important thing was that he had to take good care of Xi Xi. He couldn't let anything happen to her!
After some time, he suddenly became vigilant. He frowned and turned his head to look at a hesitant girl behind him.
Fortunately, she wasn't a thief.
The girl was a little thin and tanned. She was wearing the school uniform of Jiang City Media University. It was clean and tidy, and there was a red ribbon hanging diagonally on her body with the words "Volunteer of Jiang City Environmental Protection Association" written on it.
Yang Yi's sharp gaze swept over her, giving her a fright. The girl was like a little rabbit, shy and flustered, ready to run away.
After seeing her school uniform, Yang Yi's eyes softened. He wondered, "Am I so scary?"
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Yang Yi lowered his voice and took the initiative to ask.
The timid girl plucked up her courage and walked over. She glanced at Xi Xi, who was sleeping soundly, and said softly, "Please clean up this later. If there's any trash, please take it away."
She gestured with her hand to the boxes, jars, and other miscellaneous items that Yang Yi had placed on the "table cloth."
It turned out that she was here to remind the tourists to take care of the environment and to clean up the trash that they left behind!
Yang Yi nodded at her and made an OK gesture.
Yang Yi had originally planned to clean up, but because Xi Xi was taking an afternoon nap, Yang Yi decided to leave it for the afternoon. He didn't expect to be targeted by the environmental protection volunteer.
Of course, the thin and shy girl wasn't just "taking care" of him. After seeing her leave, Yang Yi walked towards the other tourists. Along the way, she bent down and picked up the water bottles and tissues that others had dropped. Then, she threw them into her own trash bag.
…
In the afternoon, Xi Xi had slept enough. When she woke up, she wasn't angry. Yang Yi poured some water on her small towel and wiped her face clean. Then, he helped her tidy up her messy hair and tied it up again!
"Let's go quickly!" The little girl excitedly lifted her skirt and couldn't wait to jump up and down.
"Wait for Dad to clean up." Yang Yi repacked the food boxes and put them back into his backpack. He cleaned up the trash into the trash bag and folded the table cloth in an orderly manner.
When they reached the field behind the village, Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is good!"
The field of flowers seemed to have connected into a boundless sea of flowers!
Of course, there was still a boundary. It was a boundary made up of different colors. The dazzling yellow rape flowers were separated by red hibiscus, and at the end of the red, there were purple dragon sprouts and pink Persian chrysanthemums …
This sea was colorful, as if it was an oil painting with rich colors!
"It's so beautiful!" Xixi also couldn't take it all in, and her big eyes revealed a blurred expression.
"Xi Xi, come, Dad will take a picture of you!" Yang Yi took out the SLR camera that he had just received yesterday and directed Xi Xi to take a concave pose.
Previously, Murphy always said that the photos he sent were blurry. Humph, it's time to show my real skills!
Although Yang Yi didn't learn photography professionally, he was someone who often used cameras. In his previous life, he used cameras to secretly take photos and formulate action plans …
Zoom, focus, click!
Eh? It seems like something is missing? It seems like the ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and a series of other parameters are not adjusted!
It doesn't matter. I'll turn it on auto mode and slowly learn in the future …
"I want to see it too!" As soon as they finished shooting, Xixi couldn't wait to come over and see the results.
"Ahem, the photo just now was blurry. Dad deleted it. Let's take another one …"
