Located in the southern part of the mainland, the Lion City is the largest city in the southern region, and if you compare Longyun City and Lion City together, Longyun City is probably only the size of a county seat.

After Jiang Ning left Longyun City, he didn't go straight to the Lion City, after he was reborn, he hadn't returned to his hometown to see, although his parents were no longer in his hometown, but after all, it was the place where he grew up, and on the way to the Lion City, Jiang Ning was going to take a look.

Jiangning's hometown is about 300 kilometers away from Longyun City, called Xingyang Village, because the village is close to the lake, so almost all the villagers here are mainly fishing.

All the way south to the entrance of Xingyang Village, looking at the familiar door number standing at the entrance of the village, Jiang Ning's heart instantly became a little excited, and the memories of his youth slowly emerged.

Thinking about it, it has been more than 4 years since I left Xingyang Village, all the way to the village, out of the door number at the entrance of the village, the village has changed a lot, not only has a wide road been built, and even those overgrown wastelands have been developed, but the pattern of the whole village has not changed much, all this is both strange and familiar.

In front of me, a woman with a basket in her hand is walking slowly.

"Aunt Lan......"

The woman in front of her is named Cai Fanglan, who lived next door to Jiangning's house back then, although the two families have no blood relationship, but the relationship between the two families is very good, just like relatives.

Jiang Ning shouted and hurriedly ran over.

"Xiao Ning?"

Cai Fanglan looked up at Jiang Ning in front of her, with a little surprise on her face.

Hearing Cai Fanglan call him "Xiao Ning", Jiang Ning felt very cordial, and couldn't help but gently hug Cai Fanglan, and then looked at her and said.

"Aunt Lan, I haven't seen you for so many years, why do you look younger and younger. ”

"Xiao Ning, your mouth is still so sweet. ”

Cai Fanglan smiled happily, but the smile on her face, Jiang Ning looked a little wrong, as if she was very reluctant, and Cai Fanglan also lowered her head when she walked before, and she didn't look like she was in a very good mood.

"Aunt Lan, what's wrong with you?

Jiang Ning hurriedly asked, Aunt Lan was very good to herself when she was a child, she hadn't seen her for so many years, if Cai Fanglan encountered any difficulties, Jiang Ning would naturally not be able to ignore them.

"It's okay, let's go, go to my aunt's house, and I'll make you fish to eat." ”

Cai Fanglan shook her head, with a happy expression on her face, and pulled Jiang Ning directly home.

Walking all the way to the village, I came to a two-story small bungalow, although this house looks a little unfamiliar, but looking at the surrounding environment, this is Cai Fanglan's home, which used to be a brick and wood bungalow, and now it has become a two-story small western-style house.

"Quick, sit inside. ”

Cai Fanglan pulled Jiang Ning into the house, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and handed it to Jiang Ning.

"Xiao Ning, you can watch it yourself, I'll cook for you. ”

The outside of the house looks pretty good, but the furniture inside is still old, and the overall look is very simple, but this is already relatively good in the countryside, and then Jiang Ning walked to the second floor.

There are a total of four rooms on the second floor, three of which have open doors, and the beds in the rooms can be seen from the outside, obviously three bedrooms, but the closed door of the other one caught Jiang Ning's attention.

"Xiao Ning, you go to the shop at the entrance of the village to help your aunt buy a bag of salt, there is not enough salt at home. ”

Just when you were curious and wanted to push open the door of this room, Cai Fanglan's shout came from downstairs.

"Good. ”

Jiang Ning responded, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the closed door twice, and after thinking about it, it seemed a little rude to open someone else's door casually, and then turned his head and went downstairs.

After buying salt and coming back, Jiang Ning also went to the kitchen to help, and the meal was quickly prepared, and he also made Jiang Ning's favorite when he was a child, sweet and sour fish.

"Aunt Lan, where is Uncle Wu, aren't you coming back for dinner?" Jiang Ning sat at the dinner table, it was already time to eat, and found that Cai Fanglan's husband Wu Xinhua had not come back yet, so he asked.

"Your Uncle Wu is out of the boat, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the evening. Cai Fanglan said, handing the bowl of rice to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the bowl and nodded slightly, he also went out on a boat with his father when he was a child, and the lake next to it was very large, unless the harvest was full in the morning, otherwise he would have lunch on the boat.

Jiang Ning took a little fish meat and put it in his mouth, this familiar taste made him feel a little indescribable in his heart, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but admire.

"It's just some home-cooked food, how can it be compared with you, a few years ago I heard that you were going to the city to marry the daughter of a big family, I don't know how many people in our village envy it." ”

Cai Fanglan smiled, with an expression of envy on her face, and then asked, "Xiao Ning, is there something wrong with coming back this time?"

Because Jiang Ning's parents are no longer in the village, the people in the village think that Jiang Ning will not come back when he enters the city.

"Aunt Lan, I'm just coming back to take a look, in fact, those things in the city are really not as delicious as the sweet and sour fish you made. ”

Jiang Ning said, and put another piece into his mouth, people in the countryside are envious of the prosperity in the city, but how can they ever understand the coldness of the people in the city, whoever is in trouble in the village, everyone will help, but in the city, except for interests, no one will care about the life or death of others.

"Alas, you are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. Cai Fanglan sighed helplessly, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

"Aunt Lan, where did Sister Yujie go?"

Cai Fanglan has a daughter at home, seven years younger than Jiang Ning, she was Jiang Ning's hench when she was a child, she likes to stick to him every day, counting the time, she is almost an adult.

Hearing Jiang Ning mention Wu Yujie, Cai Fanglan was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face looked very unnatural.

"Oh, Yujie goes to school in the town and only comes back once a weekend. ”

Cai Fanglan said and lowered her head to take a sip of food to hide her embarrassment.

Of course, Jiang Ning also noticed this expression, but before Jiang Ning could ask, a middle-aged woman rushed in from outside, panting and shouting to Cai Fanglan.

"Fang Lan, why are you still eating so leisurely? I heard that the Zhao family sent someone here a few days ago, didn't you receive the notice?"

The middle-aged woman Jiang Ning didn't know, but it was normal, after all, after leaving for so many years, it was impossible for the village to be all old faces.

"I don't know, I didn't see anyone coming. Cai Fanglan shook her head, but she saw that she was biting her lip tightly, and her hands under the table were clenched into fists.

"Hurry up, the Zhao family said, give you two more days at most, otherwise you will come to the door in person." ”

After the man finished speaking, he left directly, coming and going in a hurry, Jiang Ning frowned slightly, obviously Cai Fanglan was in trouble.
