Holding an umbrella in one hand, after leaving the school gate, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying walked on the crowded and wet streets, chatting a few words from time to time.

Xu Ying followed next to Duan Zilian, and she was also holding an umbrella.

Although she can't hold the same umbrella with Duan Zilian, she still feels quite sweet in her heart to be able to walk on the street together like now.

"By the way, mercy, the day after tomorrow and Sunday is Qingming Festival, are you going to sweep the tomb?" Thinking that tomorrow would be the Qingming Festival, Xu Ying asked Duan Zilian's plans.

"Hmm...... Forget it. After thinking for a while, Duan Zilian shook his head.

"Huh? Why? Xu Ying asked curiously.

"If you want to sweep the tomb, you have to go back to your hometown in the village, but the problem is that I haven't been back many times since I was a child, and I don't even know which hill this tomb is on, let alone how it went, so I can only forget it." Duan Zilian explained.

"That's right." Xu Ying answered.

After a pause, Duan Zilian's voice changed: "However, the day after tomorrow, if it is Qingming Festival, I have to go to the tomb with Xin Yan and Ling Ling." ”

"Huh?" Xu Ying was puzzled and turned her head to look at Duan Zilian.

"Their parents' graves are in a cemetery on the western outskirts of the city, and I go there almost every year, and I know how to get there, not to mention, I have already spoken to them yesterday. By the way, what about you? Duan Zilian explained, and asked Xu Ying in turn at the end.

"Me, my dad didn't take me back to my hometown to sweep the grave last year, and this year, I guess I'll have to go back, and my mom should be with me." Xu Ying replied.

"Is your hometown also in the village?"

"Well, it's quite far from here, and it takes more than half a day to get there."

"Then if you go back to your hometown to sweep the grave, you should also have to climb one mountain after another, right? That's hard. ”

"That said, it's tiring to think about."

……

Holding an umbrella, she casually chatted with Xu Ying, and after a while, Duan Zilian and her came to the bus stop sign near the school gate, planning to wait for a taxi there, or call Didi to take a taxi.

At this time, next to the bus stop sign, there were many people with umbrellas, most of whom were students of their school.

After all, this bus stop sign is not far from the school, and many students take the bus home and come here to wait for the bus as soon as school is over.

"There are so many people." Seeing so many people waiting for the bus, Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh.

"So, don't take the bus, otherwise, it will probably squeeze you into doubting your life." The joke shrugged.

Hearing that Duan Zipian was joking, Xu Ying smiled: "It's not so exaggerated, right?" However, it must still be crowded. ”

"It is estimated that there are a lot of people waiting for taxis here, we should not be able to grab a taxi, or call it Didi, compared with taxis, Didi is cheaper."

As he spoke, Duan Zilian took out his mobile phone, clicked on the online taxi software, and after some operations, successfully booked a Didi car.

After waiting for a few minutes, a small car stopped next to the bus stop sign.

Duan Zilian looked at the license plate of the car, and made sure that it was the Didi car he had just booked, so he called Xu Ying, walked over, put away the umbrella, and left in the car.

If you take a bicycle, it will take you about half an hour to get home, and if you take a car, it only takes ten minutes to reach your destination.

After getting out of the car, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying did not go home immediately, but came to a nearby supermarket, planning to go to the supermarket to buy groceries first and then go home.

More than ten or twenty minutes later, Duan Zipian carried two or three bags of ingredients and followed Xu Ying out of the supermarket.

Since this place is not very far from home, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying held an umbrella and walked back.

After walking for about ten minutes, I finally returned to the café.

When she returned to the café, Duan Zilian saw Luo Xinyan's bicycle, and she didn't have to think about it to know that Luo Xinyan had returned.

After all, he and Xu Ying came back by Didi car, which must have been faster than Luo Xinyan, but because they went to the supermarket to buy groceries and walked back later, it took a lot of time, and they were overtaken by Luo Xinyan.

Entering the café, Duan Zilian saw that Qin Qiaoyun was packing up his things, everyone else was gone, and there was not a single guest.

Obviously, Qin Qiaoyun was already preparing to close the door.

It's no wonder that today Friday, Xu Ying came back from school, and on this day, Qin Qiaoyun would close the door early to end today's business.

In addition, there was no Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling in the café, they must have been on the second floor.

"Mom, we're back." Walking into the café, Xu Ying said hello with a smile.

"I'm back." Seeing that Duan Zilian and Xu Ying were back, Qin Qiaoyun temporarily put down the work in his hand and smiled.

After saying hello to Qin Qiaoyun and saying a few words casually, Duan Zilian took the ingredients and prepared to go upstairs to make dinner.

However, at this time, Qin Qiaoyun stopped Duan Zilian.

"That's right, pity, let me tell you something, the day after tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, and we have to go back to our hometown to sweep the tomb, so from tomorrow until Monday, I won't come over to open for business, you can rest for a few days."

Nodding, Duan Zi replied with pity: "Well, I see." Does that mean you're leaving for your hometown tomorrow? ”

"Yes, it's been discussed." Qin Qiaoyun replied.

"We're leaving tomorrow?" Knowing that she was going to leave for her hometown tomorrow, Xu Ying was a little surprised.

She had long guessed that during the three-day holiday, she would definitely go back to her hometown with her family to visit the grave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Well, we're going to stay in my hometown for two nights, in addition to sweeping the graves, and by the way, I'm going to meet my relatives over there, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we'll be back on Monday." Qin Qiaoyun said.

"Oh......" Xu Ying suddenly looked a little reluctant.

Because she is not familiar with her hometown, it can even be said that she is extremely unfamiliar, and she has no sense of belonging.

When she thought of staying in a strange place for two nights during the holidays and meeting those strange relatives, she subconsciously resisted.

Seeing that her daughter was a little reluctant, Qin Qiaoyun was helpless, but there was nothing she could do, after all, she had already discussed it with her husband.

didn't chat with Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying for a long time, Duan Zilian went upstairs with the ingredients, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Luo Lingling who was sitting on the sofa listening to a TV program.

"Lingling, I'm back, where's your sister?" didn't see Luo Xinyan in the living room, Duan Zilian was a little strange, glanced at Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling's bedroom, and didn't see anyone.

However, the bicycle parked underneath means that she has returned.

"Take a shower in the bathroom." Luo Lingling replied.

"Take a bath?" Duan Zi blinked suspiciously, turned his head to look at the bathroom, and indeed saw that the bathroom door was closed.

Moreover, if you listen carefully, you can hear a sound coming from the bathroom.

But the question is, why did she take a shower so quickly today?

As soon as Duan Zilian was about to ask this question, Luo Lingling continued: "Sister said that it has been raining outside, and the road is wet, and when she came back, a car suddenly passed by, causing water on the ground to splash her. ”

"That's right." Duan Zilian knew what was going on, how to say it, and felt a little speechless.

was suddenly splashed on the way back, Luo Xinyan was quite unlucky, no wonder she took a shower as soon as she came back.

At the same time, Duan Zilian was also quite lucky, fortunately he and Xu Ying came back by Didi car, if they took a bicycle, they might all be splashed with water.

Smiling helplessly, Duan Zilian put the things away, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

However, as soon as he put the pot in the rice cooker and started to cook rice, Duan Zilian heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, poked his head out, and saw Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying walking in.

In this regard, Duan Zilian couldn't help but wonder, Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying should have gone back by now, what are they still doing?

"Aunt Qiao, what's the matter?" Coming out of the kitchen, Duan Zilian asked curiously.

"Pity, you're cooking. I've come up to discuss one thing with you. Qin Qiaoyun showed his intention.

"Hmm." In response, Duan Zilian waited for Qin Qiaoyun's next words.

After organizing the language, Qin Qiaoyun said directly: "You also know that the day after tomorrow during the Qingming Festival, our family plans to go back to our hometown to sweep the tomb and stay there for two nights, but Sakura said that the teacher has a lot of homework, and if you go back to your hometown, you don't have much time to write homework, so I thought about it for a while, so I simply didn't take Sakura back, and it was more important to review for the college entrance examination." ”

Hearing this, although Duan Zilian was surprised, he didn't feel so strange.

After all, during the three-day holiday, the teacher assigned a lot of homework, each subject was available, and if Xu Ying went back to visit the grave, there would indeed be little time to complete the homework.

Therefore, it is understandable that Xu Ying did not go back with her.

However, what made Duan Zilian puzzled was that Qin Qiaoyun decided not to take Xu Ying back, what does this have to do with himself?

If that's all there is to it, there's no need to come up and talk to yourself.

Therefore, Duan Zilian was sure that Qin Qiaoyun would have something to say next.

Sure enough, Qin Qiaoyun continued: "If you don't take Sakura back, it means that in the past three days, Sakura Sakura will live here alone, but if she lives alone, I am a little uneasy, so I want her to live here for the past three days and take care of each other." ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect Qin Qiaoyun to say this, Duan Zilian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

And Luo Lingling, who was on the side, also showed a slightly surprised expression when she heard Qin Qiaoyun's words.
