To be precise, for many local people, Maple Grove Town is a rebirth of Nirvana, where birds once did not poop and there were few people turned into a treasure.

Just because it is a treasure, every family no longer has to plow the land and cultivate the land, completely take off the hat of "farmer", and live in the community house that they once longed for.

The buildings that combine Chinese and Western are faster than the mushrooms after the rain, and it takes only a year from the start of construction to the completion of construction.

But the real housing is delayed until now to hand over the keys.

The name is still the same as it used to be, and the appearance is very different.

There used to be paddy fields and cotton fields, as well as distant mountains and ponds, as well as sheep intestines and stone paths...... It's all gone. Disappearing along with it is the town.

Ning Jiayi insisted that they were gone, and that only the impressions that remained in the brain could prove that they did exist.

Ningayi now lives in 14 buildings, 1 unit, Gate 1404.

The commissary at home is in the second unit, Gate 2-101, simple decoration, thanks to the acquaintance of the fellow, rented as a store, the two parties quickly negotiated and paid a year's rent in one go.

The location of this building can be said to be very good, and it happens that the surrounding area is almost full of people, which is very suitable for business.

Ning Jiayi didn't let his grandparents interfere in the matter of helping to move things, and he was busy alone until the end, and finally sat on the old cashier table in the past, and couldn't help but reach out and touch its lines, talking to himself.

"Yiyi, you're here alone?"

"Uncle Ma, how do you know that my commissary is here?"

As soon as Ning Jia spoke, he quickly wiped the bench with a rag, and then served it next to Master Ma.

"The owner of this house is quite familiar with me, I heard it from him, and stopped by to have a look. ”

Master Ma's original name was Ma Dekang, but he later changed it, and his name was a single Kang character.

"It's a little bit of meat for your grandparents. ”

"Uncle Ma, you are so good to our family that I am too embarrassed to see you again. ”

Ning Jiayi was really embarrassed to pick up Ma Kang's things.

Ma Kang laughed, and the folds on his face laughed with him when he laughed.

"This pork was also given to me by someone else, it didn't cost money, there are only two people in my family, I can't finish eating, hurry, you hurry up and take it!"

Ma Kang likes to use the pampered tone of his elders like this.

"Thank you. ”

Ning Jia wanted to take Ma Kang home to sit down, have a cup of tea, and talk to his grandparents for a while, but unfortunately, the master still had something to do, so he was in a hurry to go back to his own home, and then left.

She was carrying a bag of fresh pork home alone, and was about to press the button to close the elevator, when a voice came from the aisle: "Wait for me." ”

The voice was very familiar, and in the next second, Ning Jiayi remembered the owner of the voice.

Sure enough, that's right, he is Wangcheng.

"Add one, fate, your family also lives in this building?"

"Hmm. ”

"How many floors do you live on?"

Obviously, only the number 14 was lit, and Wang Cheng had already seen it, but he still asked.

"Fourteen floors. ”

"Okay, it's really fate, so is our family, what door is it. ”

Ning Jiayi didn't want to communicate too much with Wang Cheng, so he stayed in the same space, and was glad that the elevator door just opened at this time.

She pretended not to hear, politely glanced at the people in Wangcheng, said hello, and then walked to the door of her house without hesitation, took out the key, opened the door, and opened the door very quickly.

"Grandma, this is pork from Uncle Ma. ”

Ning Zaifu walked into the kitchen and untied the plastic bag, "Oh, pork is precious now, this is still the best part, is your Uncle Ma still there?"

"Uncle Ma still has something to do at home, and he has gone back. ”

Ning Jiayi poured a cup of tea, drank it, turned his head and asked Ning Zaifu: "Grandpa, do you know that Wang Cheng and our family live on the same floor of the same building?"

Ning Zaifu was surprised, and his face read: Reluctantly.

Song Mei was too, and was stunned for a long time after listening.

"Old man, I always feel that Wang Cheng is not right, he always stares at our baby, and he is like this every time I see him. ”

Song Mei said suddenly.

Wang Cheng made a lot of money because he found a good job, and with the money that Song Xiang won the lottery, their family can now be said to be the richest man.

He not only donated 500,000 yuan to the construction of infrastructure in Fenglin, but also often sponsored left-behind children and the elderly, and donated materials to primary and secondary schools.

He is now walking in the maple forest, and even in this district, with a halo on his head, and if anyone sees him, they will hold his hand with a smile and say some polite words such as wearing a high hat.

Today's Wangcheng, no, no, Mr. Wang, is the object of those who want to be cheap.

Those who have been blessed regard him as God.

This does not include the Ma Kang and Ning families.

The more Song Mei thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, dropped the cabbage in her hand, turned her head and stared at Ning Zaifu:

"Old man, can we change this house?"

Ning Zaifu listened, sat on the sofa and cried and laughed, "If I could change it, would I still sit here?"

"Hey, you should also know that there are still people who say that Wang Cheng's wife's stepmother died unexplained, and nine times out of ten he and Song Qiang teamed up to kill her.

In addition, I used to live far away, and it was nothing, but now it is the opposite door, and when I think of the strange appearance of Wangcheng after Song Xiang died, I feel worried. ”

Ning Jiayi was not in the living room, Song Mei paused and added: "My intuition has never been wrong. ”

At the beginning, I didn't know who said that Chen Lan's death was related to Wang Cheng and Song Qiang, although some people said, but now the Ning family is still in their hearts, and others have long been chatting after cooking, and they will forget about it after speaking.

"When you say that, I get goosebumps. ”

Wang Cheng also suddenly became rich, and his temperament also changed a little, if you ask what kind of job it is, few people know.

Ning Zaifu is not down-to-earth in his heart.

"You ......"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Song Mei was startled, covered her heart and gasped, and motioned for Ning Zaifu to open the door.

"Who?"

Wang Cheng replied behind the door: "Uncle Ning, it's me." ”

Ning Zaifu managed his expression and slowed down to open the door.

"Wang Cheng, what are you?"

"I just went upstairs with Yiyi, and I realized that our two families used to live together, which can be regarded as fate, and this bottle of wine is for you to taste. ”

Ning Zaifu had never accepted any kindness from Wang Cheng before, and he would not accept it now.

"Look at you, what are you doing so politely, I've quit smoking and drinking, you can take this wine back. ”

Wang Cheng laughed awkwardly for a few seconds and withdrew his hand, "Okay then." ”

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"I would like to ask if your commissary is still open?"

"Open it, it's on the first floor next door, and when my house has written the signboards one by one, I will hang them, and you can see them then." ”

Wang Cheng saw that Ning Zaifu didn't mean to invite him into the house to sit down, so he didn't continue to stand stupidly, said a few words, and turned around to go home.

The moment the door closed.

Song Mei grabbed Ning Zaifu's ear, "You, what are you telling him to do?"

"No, he lives here, I won't say it, he will know in the future, old woman, you are too nervous. ”

Song Mei calmed down, afraid that the wall would have ears, so she lowered her voice:

"In the future, our family will talk quietly, especially when it comes to that Wang Cheng, you stupid old man, don't talk about everything, especially with Wang Cheng. ”

Ning Zaifu nodded directly at Song Mei's meaning.

"Okay, you go and call for a meal, I'll go to the kitchen to serve the food. ”

"I'll serve the food, you go and shout one by one. ”

A family of three ate around the old table.

The two-bedroom house is simply decorated, and the household appliances are very complete, but I am reluctant to use it.

It's early December, and it's colder inside than outside.

The clothes at home are still hand-washed, even if the temperature is below zero, the air conditioner will not be turned on, and heaters are used in both rooms.

Ning Jiayi's hands began to have chilblains a few years ago, and she didn't say anything, she usually wore gloves and didn't let her grandparents see them.

Once Ning met her granddaughter washing her hands in Fu, and then she saw the chilblains on those two little hands, and she was so distressed that she almost shed tears.

On the same day, he removed the packaging bag of the washing machine, moved to the balcony, and then bought Ning Jiayi chilblain ointment, telling her to be obedient and not reluctant to use money and electricity.

Speaking of which, Ning Jiayi really doesn't live like she should be at her age.

In her early twenties, she never goes out to play, she doesn't touch any milk tea hot pot, she eats whatever her grandparents eat, and drinks wolfberry and red date tea, which is especially healthy.

She doesn't often hold her mobile phone and is reluctant to leave her hand, and her clothes have always been simple and generous. With Dabao, I don't even have a lipstick, and I don't have high heels. A regular pair of sneakers can last for three years.

She always picks the best things to eat, drink and wears from her grandparents, and then hides them from them, saying that they are bargains.

She can save her own things, and she is better than herself for oranges and birds.

She will never let herself stay up late, go to bed before half past ten, get up at 6:15 the next day, and accompany her grandparents for morning exercises.

Maybe it's because it's extremely simple, her face not only doesn't show her age, but on the contrary, because she is physically and mentally happy every day, and she is not outstanding, she is often mistaken for a high school student, and there is still a trace of precious innocence in her eyes.

Naturally, the writing continues.

After the meal, it was usually Ning Zaifu who strongly asked him to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and wipe the table, but Ning Jiayi couldn't resist his grandfather, so he went with him.

Ning Jiayi's room had a balcony full of flowers and plants, including named moonflowers, lilies, zinnias, succulents, spider plants, and uprooted weeds or wild flowers on the roadside.

Because there were many workers in the vicinity passing by a certain stretch of road, she wanted to transplant them back instead of being suddenly pulled out and thrown aside.

The table lamp is still the same as before, and the traces of post-it notes on it have been scrubbed clean by her, except for the old one, there is nothing wrong.

The clock is ticking.

Ning Jiayi closed the pure diary, turned off the lamp, and turned to the computer desk.

"Pickup pickup. ”

The phone rang.

Ning Jiayi took the phone in his hand, swiped it open, and took a quick look.

WeChat adds friend messages, no notes, and the avatar is crayon Xiaoxin.

The people Ning Jia came into contact with were all customers, and her face blindness was still as bad as before, and she guessed that the other party was the kind of person who advertised or was bored.

"One by one, cover your hands and feet warmly, don't make it too late, go to bed early." ”

"Got it, grandpa, go to bed. ”

Ning Zaifu knew that his granddaughter would not go to bed late, but he couldn't control his mouth before going to bed every day, so he had to say a word to make his heart steady.

"Oh, I almost forgot, tomorrow grandpa will go to buy the goods, and by the way, help your grandma get medicine, and you will have a day off. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

"Okay, okay, you code words, grandpa went to sleep. ”

Ning Zaifu held a flashlight to illuminate the way of the room, and walked slowly.
