Early the next morning, Chen Fan took the car home, which was only a four- or five-hour drive.

He didn't tell his family in advance, lest they wait there. The car at eight o'clock in the morning, when I get home, it takes about a little bit, and I may not be able to catch lunch.

This time it was not a holiday, but the highway was under repair, blocked for half an hour, and by the time I arrived at the county seat, it was already half past one.

Chen Fan got out of the car at the intersection and went to the small restaurant at the intersection for lunch first.

When I returned to my hometown this time, I was particularly touched. A few days ago, he was reborn ten years ago, and now, looking at the environment of his hometown, there is a strong contrast with his memory, and he feels more clearly how much the county has changed in the past ten years.

After lunch, he pushed his suitcase and walked home. After entering the alley, I finally found the appearance in my memory.

These older residential buildings haven't changed much.

"Huh?"

Chen Fan came to the door of his house, but found that something was wrong, the door was different from what he remembered. He also thought he had made a mistake, took a few steps back, and glanced at the corridor number and house number above.

That's right.

How did it come to this?

A few years ago, his brother got married, renovated the old house, and changed the door.

Now, this door is the same one it was from ten years ago, and the paint on it has fallen even more, and there is rust everywhere.

"What's the situation?"

Chen Fan was about to take out his mobile phone and ask his parents. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, it couldn't be the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth.

He thought about it carefully, and really found the relevant memory.

After he was admitted to college, his father used the money he originally planned to use to buy a car to pay a down payment on a house. At that time, housing prices were still relatively low, and it was quite cost-effective.

By the time his brother was about to get married, the house price had doubled, so he sold the house again, scraped together some money, and exchanged for a bigger house, four bedrooms and two living rooms.

Chen Fan was very relieved, at least this rebirth has improved the environment at home.

In the past, he was reluctant to go home, also because it was not very convenient. When his brother got married, he couldn't afford to buy a new house, so he could only redecorate the old house and treat it as a new house.

Not long after, the eldest niece was born, and after another two years, the younger niece was born again.

In the family, sometimes my grandmother comes to live together, plus my parents, brother and sister-in-law and two nieces, it is really a big family.

When he came back, he couldn't stay at home, so he had to go to his brother's shop for the night.

His brother has always wanted to save money to buy a house, but the house price has risen higher and higher, and he has never bought it.

Now, I finally don't have to live in a cramped old house.

…………

Moreover, coincidentally, the new house bought by Chen Fan's family is in the same community as He Qingzhu's family.

He rode a three-wheeled motorcycle and followed the address he remembered and returned home. At home, my mother and little niece are here, my brother and sister-in-law have gone to the store, my eldest niece has gone to kindergarten, my father has also gone out, and my grandmother has gone back to the countryside.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and my little niece has a little bit of a relationship with him, and has been hiding behind her grandmother to secretly watch him, and when he looks over, she turns her head shyly. Let her call her uncle, but she won't open her mouth.

Chen Fan took out the gift that had been prepared a long time ago, a palm-sized plush toy, and watched cartoons with the little guy for a while, and became intimate with her again.

"Xiaoxue has grown taller."

Chen Fan touched the little niece's head, this is her nickname, she was born on the day of the solar term Xiaoxue, so she has this nickname. Coincidentally, her sister was born on the day of the rain, and her nickname was Xiaoyu.

"Uncle, you've become handsome."

The little guy's words amused Chen Fan, she was only three years old, and her mouth was very sweet, which was very likable.

He watched cartoons with the little guy while chatting with his mother. waited until half past four, went to the kindergarten again, and picked up the eldest niece Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu is more introverted, doesn't like to call people, but is more clingy, Chen Fan also bought it with gifts, and played with the two little guys at home for an afternoon.

It wasn't until about seven o'clock in the evening that his brother and sister-in-law returned. The family had dinner together.

Knowing that he resigned, the family didn't ask too much. He said he wanted to take a break and wait until the end of the year to go out and look for a job.

In this way, Chen Fan lived at home. While looking for clues about He Qingzhu, he wrote a new book, and in his spare time, he accompanied his two nieces to play crazy.

In a flash, it is a month.

New Year's Day has passed, and the calendar at home has been changed again.

In the afternoon, Chen Fan took his two nieces outside to bask in the sun, and in the community, there was a special area for children to play, equipped with slides and other facilities.

When they get tired of playing, take them for a walk.

Unconsciously, Chen Fan came to the villa again, and habitually took a look inside, the doors and windows on the second floor were closed, and on the roof of the third floor, there were vine-like plants extending down, and no one cleaned them up, it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.

This month, he looked for He Qingzhu's homeroom teacher before, but unfortunately, she did not keep He Qingzhu's contact information for her father. He also looked for a few people from the previous fourth class, and no one knew He Qingzhu's whereabouts.

The Aunt Zhao who helped at He Qingzhu's house back then, he couldn't find it.

So far, there are no clues at all.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang, and it was his mother calling, "Ah Fan, your friend is looking for you, come back quickly." ”

"My friend? Male or female? ”

"Woman, very beautiful, go home quickly, don't let people wait." With that, he hung up the phone.

Female, very beautiful.

Chen Fan's heart jumped, he picked up his two nieces one by one, and said, "Grandma told you to go home, go." ”

Xiaoyu hadn't played enough, and kept writhing, "Don't go back, I still have to play outside." ”

"If you move again, you'll fall." Chen Fan scared her and pretended to let go, Xiaoyu felt the feeling of falling and screamed in fright, "Don't, I'm going to fall." ”

Xiaoxue said excitedly, "I want to play too." ”

Just when the two little guys were arguing, Chen Fan returned to his own building.

"I'll press the elevator."

"I'll come, I'll come."

"You can't press it again."

"Uncle hugged me, and I could press it."

"Then let's do it, you press the elevator, I'll ring the doorbell."

"Hmm, okay."

From the quarrel at the beginning, to the bargaining at the back, the two little guys finalized the ownership of pressing the elevator and ringing the doorbell.

They are energetic, and when they make trouble, they can make people's heads bigger. When it's well-behaved, it's so cute.

Finally returned home, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Fan saw the person sitting in the living room and was stunned, "Why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me?"

Sitting on the sofa was actually Qin Ruosu, she asked rhetorically, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
