On January 28, 2018, the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, that is, five days after the broadcast of the seventh episode of the second season of "The Goddess of Change", Ni Xi cleaned up his rented apartment and prepared to drive his SUV back to his hometown with Ni Ergou.

Before leaving Jiangcheng, Ni Xi first drove to the community where Lanyue's house was located.

He wants to say goodbye to Blue Moon.

"Haven't you thought about whether to go back to your hometown for the New Year? If you're thinking about going back, I can take you home with a detour. On the sofa of Lan Yue's house, Ni Xi smiled and said to Lan Yue.

Ni Xi and Lan Yue's hometown is in the southwest of Hubei Province, and the cities to which they belong are adjacent, which is not too far away, and it only takes about four or five hours to drive each way.

Listening to Ni Xi's words, Lan Yue frowned and shook her head slightly.

She was actually very moved by Ni Xi's proposal, but she really hadn't decided whether she could go back or not.

Speaking of which, after the incident five years ago, she also had a big fight with her parents, and because she became fatter and fatter later, she didn't want to go back to listen to some gossip, so she held her breath and didn't go home for five years. Now, although her mentality is completely different from that of five years ago, she still feels extremely nervous about going home and meeting those people, and it is difficult to make a final decision.

Ni Xi didn't know much about the affairs between Lan Yue and her family, and although she was entangled in this, she couldn't say anything.

In the end, he could only say: "In this way, if you need my help with anything during the Chinese New Year, you can call at any time." Anyway, we're friends now, and I won't refuse as long as I can help. ”

Just friends?

Listening to Ni Xi's words, Lan Yue's heart couldn't help but darken.

But she showed a rather bright smile on her pretty face, as if she instantly threw away all her troubles, and nodded: "Well, you're welcome." ”

"Then I'm leaving. Ergou, goodbye to Sister Blue Moon. ”

"Wang~" Ni Ergou barked at Lan Yue twice, and didn't forget to rub Lan Yue's calf with the dog's head.

Being made such a fuss by Ni Ergou, Lan Yue was really in a good mood, and waved with a smile: "Goodbye." ”

···

Ni Xi's hometown is in a place called Weicheng.

Located on the border of Hubei Province, Hunan Province and Sichuan Province, although it is a county directly under the central government of Hubei Province at the administrative level, it is not inferior to the general municipal district in terms of urban construction and prosperity. Especially in recent years, the local tourism industry has been vigorously developed, and the economy has become more prosperous.

However, the last three generations of Ni Xi's ancestors were farmers with good roots, and his family was quite poor in the early years, so Ni Xi's parents went out to Yangcheng to work when Ni Xi was very young.

Later, the two changed their careers to business, and they have been working hard in Yangcheng for more than 20 years, and they have become accustomed to the life in Yangcheng, and even interpersonal communication is also in Yangcheng, but there are only some courtesy exchanges between relatives in the interpersonal relationship in their hometown. Therefore, in addition to occasionally coming back for the New Year's holidays over the years, I usually do small business in Yangcheng.

After years of hard work, although the couple did not make a lot of money, they also had some savings, so they bought a commercial house in the urban area of Weicheng when Ni Xi was just in college.

It's just that later the two are still doing business in Yangcheng, and Ni Xi first went to college, and after finishing college, he worked in other places, and his sister Ni Luo dropped out of school after junior high school and was unwilling to go to school, so she first went to Yangcheng to attend a vocational school for three years, and later worked in Yangcheng.

Ni Xi's grandparents are still alive, and they have some minor physical problems when they are old, but they are basically fine, and they can even plant a vegetable garden. In addition, it is very convenient to have food, clothing, housing and transportation in rural areas, and the pension policy and medical insurance policy are quite in place, Ni Xi's parents and second uncle's family are enough to support them, and the old man has been in his hometown all his life, and the people he knows are also in his hometown, so he stays in his rural hometown and is reluctant to live in the city.

Therefore, Ni Xi's home in the city was basically not inhabited before, only Ni Xi's family occasionally came back for various reasons, and would clean and care for the family and buy some things for the family.

If it was a previous year, Ni Xi would have come back on the edge of the year, cleaned the house, pasted the Spring Festival couplets, and then went back to the countryside to accompany the two old people for the New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to Yangcheng to get together with my parents and sister, and then return to Jiangcheng to work. Of course, if his parents decide to come back for the New Year, Ni Xi doesn't have to go to Yangcheng.

As for when the parents will come back for the New Year, it also depends on the situation. If you made a small profit in business back then, and you have plenty of money in your hands, you will generally come back. But if business doesn't do well, they won't come back – after all, people like them who have been away all year round spend a lot of money every time they come back.

Because of many reasons, Ni Xi's parents' business has not been very good in the past two years, and fortunately, Ni Xi and Ni Luo don't need to ask them for money anymore, and even send some things from time to time, and send a red envelope during the New Year's holidays, so the husband and wife can live in Yangcheng.

It's just okay, so, according to the original plan, the couple should not come back for the New Year this year.

But this year, the situation should obviously change - under Ni Xi's strong request, the couple is ready to take Ni Luo home for the New Year.

However, the couple's business will not be until the end of the year, and Ni Luo will not have a holiday until the end of the year when he goes to work, so the three of them will not be able to come back until the end of the year.

As for Ni Xi's second uncle's family, they were originally doing business in the capital, and there was only one boy below, that is, Ni Xi's cousin, named Ni Ruo.

Ni Ruo went to elementary school in his hometown for a few years, and then he was taken to the capital to go to school, and went to school until he graduated from junior high school. Later, due to some family reasons and the fact that he could only take the college entrance examination in his hometown, he had to return to Yucheng to attend high school.

Now, Ni Ruo is in his second year of high school and is only 16 years old.

Because he hasn't seen each other much since he was a child, Ni Xi's impression of this cousin is still stuck when the other party was in elementary school. In my memory, Ni Ruo is not as naughty as other boys at all, very sensible and well-behaved, coupled with her delicate and cute appearance, she is often mistaken for a girl.

Later, Ni Ruo was taken to school in the capital, and Ni Xi basically never saw him.

Last year, Ni Xi returned to his hometown for the New Year, and Ni Ruo was taken to the capital by the second uncle to celebrate the New Year, and the two failed to see each other. And because Ni Xi's parents and the second uncle's family do business all year round, the relationship between the two families is not very deep, and Ni Xi usually doesn't think about contacting this cousin, so he hasn't seen this cousin for six or seven years.

According to the information Ni Xi learned from his grandfather and grandmother, after Ni Ruo attended Yucheng High School for half a year, because he did not adapt to the boarding environment in the school, he lived in his house and became a day student.

Originally, the grandparents wanted to live in Ni Xi's house in the county town to take care of Ni Ruo's food and clothing, but the old people in Ni Xi's house didn't know how to use all kinds of smart appliances, and Ni Xi's house was on the sixth floor of a commercial building without an elevator, and it was inconvenient for the elderly to go up and down, so they had to give up in the end.

Of course, the main reason is that in the eyes of grandparents, Ni Ruo is as well-behaved and sensible as he was when he was a child, and occasionally they come to visit Ni Ruo a few times, whether it is informed in advance or raided, they all see Ni Xi's house cleaned by Ni Ruo. Although Ni Ruo's academic performance was average, the school teachers did not have any bad reactions, and the old man and the second uncle and aunt were basically relieved.

Thinking of this, Ni Xi couldn't help but be a little curious about this cousin.

I think that when he was in college, when he returned to Yucheng during the winter vacation, he would live in the city until the end of the year because of the convenience of the Internet, and he would not return to the countryside until the end of the year. At that time, my grandparents were also not at ease and came to visit. As a result, even if Ni Xi prepared in advance to clean the house, he failed to win a satisfactory evaluation from his grandmother. And this cousin can do this at a young age, and he can't help but impress Ni Xi.

At the very least, it shows that Ni wants to love cleanliness more than him.

Thinking of these in his heart, when the security guard of the community raised the gate lifting pole, Ni Xi drove slowly into the community.

Because Ni Xi didn't leave Jiangcheng very early, and it was the first time he drove home by himself, he was not very familiar with the road, so he had to wait until ten o'clock in the evening to arrive in Yucheng.

With the help of the lights in the community, he drove his car all the way slowly forward, looking at the unfamiliar community environment around him, Ni Xi felt quite emotional for a while - he is also a homecoming, right?

Ni Xi's family didn't have a car before, so naturally he didn't have a garage to buy or rent a car, but fortunately, the open space in the community was relatively large, so he parked the SUV downstairs in his unit.

got out of the car, looked up, and saw that the window on the right side of the sixth floor was lit, and Ni Xi remembered that the high school in Tuocheng has not yet had winter vacation, that is to say, Ni Ruo should still live in his house.

This time he came back earlier than in previous years, and Ni Xi did not notify his grandparents in advance in order to surprise his grandparents. Therefore, Ni Ruo should not know.

Thinking of this, Ni Xi couldn't help but smile - maybe, you can surprise Ni Ruo's kid first.

"Ergou, follow me."

Seeing Ni Ergou jumping out of the car and stumbling around curiously, Ni Xi picked up two suitcases and beckoned him to go upstairs together.

With Ni Xi's current physical fitness, even if the two large suitcases were quite heavy, it didn't make him feel too hard, and he easily went up to the sixth floor. After putting down the suitcase, he found the key and opened the door directly.

After opening the door, Ni Xi saw that the light in the living room was not turned on, and the light in the small room that he used as a study was very obvious, so he knew that Ni Ruo should choose to live in this room.

Just as Ni Xi was about to shout to greet Ni Ruo to come out, he heard a bang, and then the entire living room went dark, and the door of the study suddenly closed!

Ni Xi couldn't help but be stunned-

What's going on?

Could it be that this cousin is doing something shameful in the room?

Or even play a game of popping with a certain girl paper in it?

Involuntarily, Ni Xi wanted to be dirty.

came back to his senses, turned on the light in the living room, closed the door again, and Ni Xi walked towards the small study.

When he arrived outside the room and heard the strange silence inside, Ni Xi suspected in his heart that Ni Ruo had done something wrong, so he behaved like this.

As a person who has come over, Ni Xi feels that it may be the best choice not to ask first, but he has to tell Ni Ruo that he is coming back, right?

In the end, if Ni Ruo really played a game with a certain sister paper in it as he thought, then he couldn't be a cousin who didn't know what to do - if he ended up with a human life, he would be more or less responsible.

Thinking of this, Ni Xi stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and said calmly: "Ni Ruo, I'm your brother, Ni Xi." ”
