L City, which is dotted along the coast of Zhejiang, is Lu Tingting's hometown.

Lai Fanchuan likes this small city very much.

As one of the first county-level cities to be selected as a "National Livable City", it not only has modern convenience, but also precipitates historical heritage, with a beautiful environment and a soothing rhythm, which is indeed very livable.

After more than an hour of flight, the plane landed at a small civilian airport in the city of L.

Walking out of the airport, Wu Nong's soft words were all in his face. Lai Fanchuan once said on a whim that he wanted to learn from Lu Tingting, and finally ...... Painful renunciation.

took a taxi, and in less than half an hour, he appeared in the living room of the Lu family.

"Don't be busy, grandma, I'm not hungry." Lai Fanchuan's attempt to stop Grandma Lu's enthusiasm ended in failure again.

The old man acted quickly, and within a few minutes, he brought out tea, snacks, and fruits, and set up a coffee table.

Grandma Lu was a young lady of the landlord's family when she was young, she went to school, knew how to read, and was a new-school woman, and now she is in her seventies, and she still likes to wear improved cheongsam, standing there, holding her head up, and her temperament is outstanding. It's a pity that her life is not very good, first because of family composition problems, she got married very late, and her husband died a few years later, she struggled to raise her only child, but when Lu Tingting was three years old, her son and daughter-in-law suffered a car accident together, and in the end they were not saved.

"I'm going to trouble you again this time, little lai." Grandma Lu said politely.

Lai Fanchuan thought, this pair of ancestors and grandchildren are really close, and they even have a habit of calling him, the old one calls him Xiao Lai, and the young one calls him Lao Lai. "It doesn't matter. Can you tell me more about that? ”

This old house of the Lu family was assigned by Lu Tingting's father before his death. Originally, there was only the right to use but no ownership, after the accident of the Lu couple, the Lu family was left with old and weak women and children, and the leaders of the unit gave special care, so that Grandma Lu took out a little money, and transferred the house to her own name.

Later, the unit moved, and the property rights of this unit were all repossessed by the state, uh, except for the Lu family.

Later, the land was auctioned off by the government for commercial development. The old building will be demolished as scheduled. After finishing the government, I found out: Hey, there is still a house here that is not owned by the public?

But the land has been sold.

So what to do? Of course, it is to convince the head of the household to relocate.

Relocation costs? Let's talk about it.

So, in short, the Lu family was careless and had the suspicion of a nail household.

Although with Lu Tingting's earning ability, it will not be a problem to let Grandma Lu enjoy her old age in the future. But this house, after all, has assumed the role of "the foundation of the Lu family's life" for many years, and Grandma Lu is still very reluctant.

It's just that she is old and can't understand the current policies and laws, and she doesn't know what conditions to negotiate with the government and real estate. The only granddaughter is far away in G City, but it doesn't seem to be of much use except for being able to write, sing, and sing.

After thinking about it, the old man found that the only person he could turn to for help was Lai Fanchuan.

Grandma Lu's impression of Xiao Lai couldn't be better. In her heart, Lai Fanchuan can be equated with: responsibility, stability, superpowers, and so on, which are definitely 100% praised. Since his granddaughter went to G City, Xiao Lai has often called to ask for warmth, and he is more diligent than his granddaughter.

What a young man, he's in his thirties, and he hasn't even looked for a girlfriend.

After hearing this, Lai Fanchuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Earlier, the old man spoke vaguely on the phone. When he heard the word "demolition", he was worried. There has been too much news about demolition these days, and the key is that there is no good news. So I put off what I was doing, arranged the latest flight, and rushed over. I didn't dare to explain it to Lu Tingting before I came. Her stinky temper, if she knew that something was wrong with her grandmother, she would definitely rush home regardless of the thirty-seven-twenty-one. The problem is that she is unable to move at this time, so she is still adding to the chaos.

"Don't worry, grandma. This is a mistake on the part of the government, and the truth is on our side. "The house is definitely not kept, and the compensation can be more. Lai Fanchuan had a plan in his heart.

Grandma Lu took out her mobile phone and flipped out a number: "It's the phone this person called me, saying that it was from the government office, and it was a young man's voice." I said that I am an old man, and I don't know about these things, so I need to discuss them with my family first. He asked me to discuss it and give him a call back. ”

Lai Fanchuan couldn't help but praise Grandma Lu's witty reaction.

It's a landline number. He dialed back, and it took a long time for him to be connected. As soon as the other party heard that it was the Lu family, he immediately asked him to wait and transferred the phone again. Later, one of the people who answered the phone, obviously speaking in an official tone, seemed to be a leader.

Lai Fanchuan immediately made a decision and set a time for meeting and negotiating, which will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Then contact a lawyer you know well.

After making several phone calls in a row, Lai Fanchuan had time to drink saliva and ask Grandma: "Do you want to go with us tomorrow?" ”

The old lady was very relieved: "I'm going to dance." You can do it. ”

Lai Fanchuan found new evidence that "this pair of ancestors and grandchildren are absolutely close": they both like to carry the burden.

When he had finished talking, he got up and took his leave.

The old man said, "Huh": "Where are you going?" You don't stay at home at night? ”

I really treat him as my own. Lu Tingting is the same, after identifying a person, she is digging out her heart and lungs, which is very direct and silly and cute. Probably inherited from the old lady. Lai Fanchuan explained tactfully: "I booked the hotel. ”

"What a hotel to stay in! How can the hotel be comfortable at home! The old man didn't let go, "I'll clean up the room for you." It's the same room where Tingting slept before. The bedding and bed sheets were all cleaned. ”

Lai Fanchuan simply couldn't refuse.

Then he agreed in a vague way.

When he came back to his senses and realized the embarrassment, he couldn't bear to look directly at the stupid thing he had done—he hadn't stayed at someone else's house for many years, and this other person was still an artist under him.

Why do you feel so weird?

In the evening, Grandma Lu was ready to cook dinner.

This time, Lai Fanchuan sobered up, so he invited the old man back to the living room to watch TV, and he went to the kitchen to follow the menu specified by the old lady, and cleanly fried the vegetables and stewed the rice.

Grandma Lu is very talkative.

The common topic of the two is, of course, Lu Tingting.

Lai Fanchuan understood the old man's feelings of missing his granddaughter, so he reported Lu Tingting's current situation to the old lady in detail, of course, the good news and not the bad news. Such as: sprained ankle and fractured bones; finally grew up and knew how to chase men, but he was beaten away by him; There is no need to report.

Grandma Lu was very happy, and also shared with Lai Fanchuan various things about Lu Tingting's growth.

"Don't look at her as a girl, she has the right idea." The old lady remembered that her granddaughter made her own initiative and went to the bar to sing and make money to supplement the family, and she was very emotional, "Fortunately, I met you, Xiao Lai, you are her nobleman." ”

"Don't say that. It's that she's good enough. Lai Fanchuan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier. He's obviously just her agent, okay! There will be an illusion that "my family has a girl who has just grown up", which is enough!

Lai Fanchuan still remembers the scene when he first met Lu Tingting.

He was entrusted to go to the city of L to find a friend of a friend. The two sides are about a bar street. He planned to go and return the same day, so he didn't book a hotel. I arrived early, bored, and wandered around.

It was a music bar called "Traveler". At noon, the bar is not officially open. Lai Fanchuan passed by the floor-to-ceiling window and saw a beautiful little girl playing the guitar casually. The sun shines through the glass, shining at her feet, reflecting her young face. He walked in by surprise, and after listening to it, he realized that the little girl was humming a melody of her own.

That melody, with a twist and turn, a theme and a chorus, is almost a mature work.

Young, beautiful, talented, all the elements together make Lai Fanchuan very excited. The little girl looked at him with the eyes of a liar, and was even a little impatient. Lai Fanchuan had no choice but to leave her business card and tell her that if she had ideas, she could contact the number above.

It wasn't until half a year later that he received a call from her.

The melody he heard in the bar, after being completed, was revised several times, and finally finalized, which was Lu Tingting's first single - "Listening to the Wind".

******

Grandma Lu usually lives alone, and her life is still very colorful. After eating, she made an appointment with someone to go for a walk, and she was embarrassed to leave Lai Fanchuan at home alone.

He was the only one left in the two-bedroom living room, and Lai Fanchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lu Tingting's room, the style is very simple, it looks clear at a glance, if it weren't for a few old posters of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars posted on the wall, he wouldn't have seen that this was a little girl's bedroom at all.

He decided to give Lu Tingting a call: I always have to tell her about the house.

Unexpectedly, the phone went unanswered.

Lai Fanchuan frowned, and patiently dialed Xiaomeng's number.

This one is fast.

"Boss. Sister Tingting was in the room in the afternoon. She said your knife was too bad, and she was going to retreat to heal. In the evening I brought her a takeaway from Little Champs, and she ate quite happily. I just came out of her house half an hour ago. Xiao Meng didn't wait for him to ask, and finished talking like a crackling bean.

"I just called her, and no one answered her phone."

Xiaomeng: "Huh? He said, "Then why don't I go back and take a look?" ”

Lai Fanchuan thought about it and gave a direct instruction: "You wait five minutes and then call her, and if no one answers, go back and have a look." ”

While waiting, Lai Fanchuan admitted that he was a little irritable. To distract himself, he wandered around the room twice, and finally sat down at his desk and opened the drawer casually. There were no imaginary small items filled with scattered items belonging to girls, only a painted hard box that seemed to have been used to hold candy.

He picked it up and turned it upside down, very light; It shook again, and there was only a slight crashing sound.

Suddenly realizing that this kind of behavior was already in the category of spying on others, Lai Fanchuan was suddenly embarrassed, and looked around with a weak heart. Almost at the same time, his mobile phone rang, and it was Lu Tingting who called back.

Lai Fanchuan casually put the box on the table and pressed it to answer.

"I was in the toilet just now." In her ears was Lu Tingting's impatient voice, "Are you really checking the post?" ”

Lai Fanchuan paused, and after a few seconds, he replied in a restrained tone: "You have difficulty moving, I'm just afraid that you will have an accident." ”

Lu Tingting was stunned for a moment, and apologized.

Lai Fanchuan didn't plan to worry about her, and continued to explain: "I'm in L City, your home." Don't scream! Take it easy! Hear me finish. He recounted the incident simply and clearly, and then summed it up: "All in all, I will deal with this matter, you don't have to think about it." ”

She didn't squeak.

"What's the matter, what do you think?"

"Lai." She hesitated, "Shall I take my grandmother over?" She's also old, and I often can't go back, and if there is an accident, she doesn't even have anyone around. ”

Lai Fanchuan felt that the key was not here: "Hire a nanny." It doesn't matter if grandma stays in L City or goes to G City. Even in G City, do you think you have time to take care of her? And I see that my grandmother's life is very exciting now, dancing and walking, and I have made friends together. Maybe if you go to G City, it will be even more lonely. ”

What a hit the nail on the head.

Lu Tingting was annoyed and angry: "You always refute my opinions, it's so annoying." ”

"The truth is always cruel." Lai Fanchuan tugged at the corners of his mouth. Standing up, he accidentally brought it to the hard box on the table, and with a bang, the box fell to the ground and broke in half.

A thin pamphlet fell out. "Introduction to Easy Staff". 32 open. There is nothing surprising about it.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Tingting was startled and asked, "What sound?" ”

Lai Fanchuan did not answer.

He squatted down and flipped open the cover, and there were three words written on the title page, and together they were a name: Han Jiashu.

That's not Lu Tingting's handwriting.
