The car gradually drove away from Hengcheng, Xu Ziqian's car was not fast, it was raining very hard outside, and safety should come first!

Yuan Yin didn't say a word, Xu Ziqian focused on driving, the two of them are like a pair of familiar strangers, the more they know each other in the past, the more powerless they can do anything about each other now!

Qingwan County is not big, but it is a treasure of Tianhua, outstanding people, and simple folk customs.

When the car entered the county, the rain gradually decreased, Yuan Yin looked at everything that came into view, as if the feeling of being separated from the world spontaneously, when she left here, she was still young, and she did not have too deep memories of many people and things, although she would come back with her parents every Spring Festival later, but after all, she could not withstand the erosion of the years, five years of time, I don't know how many things were buried!

In Yuan Yin's impression, Xu Ziqian has never been to her hometown in Qingwan, of course, as a character in Hengcheng who covers the sky with one hand, Yuan Yin is not surprised at all to be able to find her home with ease, after all, he said that he is very interested in everything in the Yuan family!

In Yuan Yin's cognition, the old house that has not been back for five years must be rusty on the door, full of weeds, and surrounded by walls.

But unexpectedly, the red iron gate seems to have been taken care of, not only is there no weeds in the yard, but also a lot of flowers and vegetables are planted, Yuan Yin's mother loves these flowers and plants the most, but she has been trapped in a mental hospital for the past five years, how can she return to her hometown to plant flowers, obviously not her. Sitting in a row of houses facing north and south, they are beautifully painted!

"You did it!" Yuan Yin didn't have to think about it to know that it wouldn't be anyone else except him.

Xu Ziqian's silence just confirms this!

Yuan Yin's old house is located in the old town of Qingwan County, most of the old city is bungalows, her family is no exception, most of the people in the old city are natives, and the new city is a new cultural circle formed by many outsiders, so if you want to understand the cultural history of Qingwan, the old town must be the first choice!

Yuan Yin still remembers that when she was a child, the relationship between her parents and her neighbors was very good, and the children in the neighborhoods were about the same age as her, so she increased the feelings between them, Yuan Yin always liked to go to Uncle Zhang's house next door to eat and drink, not because his food was sweet, but every time she ate, Uncle Zhang's little brother would hold her hand and play in the alley.

I haven't seen them for years, I don't know if they're okay?

The old house of the Yuan family, Xu Ziqian didn't come often before, when he and Yuan Yin were in a relationship, Yuan Mingyuan took him here once, Yuan Yin didn't know, at that time, Yuan Mingyuan stood where he was standing now, pointed to all corners of the yard, and told him what interesting things Yuan Yin had done there

---- there, Yuan Mingyuan pointed to the southwest corner and said, there used to be a swing frame, and Ayin would sit on it and swing when she was fine, and it would be very high and high when she swung up, and her mother and I would be startled every time we saw it, but then there was no way, the swing frame was dismantled, and she cried for it!

---- west of the yard, is when Ayin was born, I built a "children's paradise" for her, saying that it is a paradise, in fact, it is dedicated to playing with mud, and for their children to play at home, and then the children are older, they dislike it, abandon it, and I transformed it into a vegetable garden for her mother!

----- the southernmost part of the courtyard, there was an open space, and I made a simple tennis court for her at that time, because I also liked tennis, and at that time it was just to amuse her, but I didn't think of cultivating her interest!

When Yuan Mingyuan said this, his eyes were full of fatherly love, which made Xu Ziqian envious!

At that time, he was busy with work, and Yuan Yin rarely came back here, so he basically didn't come, but after Yuan Yin disappeared five years ago, he often came and sat in the yard.

Whether it is the Yuan family villa in Hengcheng, or the old residence of the Yuan family in Qingwan, or the Yuan Group, Xu Ziqian guards it spotlessly, just because these are closely related to Yuan Yin.

Frankly speaking, when Yuan Yin said that he was going back to Qingwan, Xu Ziqian was happy in his heart, but behind his quiet happiness, there was also a faint worry!

"You go in first and rest, I'll move the things in the car to the house." Xu Ziqian had turned around and walked towards the gate as he spoke, Yuan Yin's current body didn't seem to be able to help much, so he turned around and entered the house.

Two people are opposites.

When Xu Ziqian was moving things, someone came to him, and he greeted politely: "Hello Uncle Zhang." ”

The one who is called Uncle Zhang is Yuan Yin's long-time neighbor ---- Zhang Zishan. He looked at Xu Ziqian, couldn't believe it, and asked in Qingwan's unique dialect: "Xiao Xu, is it really you?" I just saw this car parked in front of Lao Yuan's house, and I thought it was who, why did you come at this time? ”

"Ayin and I are back for the New Year." Xu Ziqian was humble and polite from beginning to end.

"What? Little Ayin is back? Zhang Zishan patted his thigh, almost crying: "Ouch, I thought I would never see my daughter-in-law here again in my lifetime!" ”

What the? Xu Ziqian's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Zhang Zishan in shock.

"When you see that I'm happy, I'll say anything!" Zhang Zishan smiled, and there were a few more wrinkles on his dark forehead: "Little Ayin used to always follow behind my son's ass, how old was she at that time?" I thought about it, it seemed like she was four or five years old, I teased her, I said, little Ayin, you like to play with your brother so much, do you want to marry your brother in the future? He said yes in a milky voice! After saying that, he hugged my son's waist and didn't let go. Oops, now that I think of her little appearance at that time, it's really cute! ”

Xu Ziqian put his mind at ease, it turned out to be a childhood joke, it's just that, don't worry about her, the child's words are unscrupulous, and the elders are deliberately guiding, Ah Yin can say such unashamed words It is really expected by him.

"Uncle Zhang, let's go in and sit, it's just that we just arrived, it's a little messy!"

Xu Ziqian's words can be described as a hidden scheming, the former sentence seems to be a sincere invitation, but the latter sentence shows that it is not very convenient, but anyone who has a little thinking knows that this is actually just polite. Zhang Zishan naturally knew that it was inconvenient to bother, so he only said that he was not in a hurry, and he would come back after lunch!

When Xu Ziqian carried everything into the room, his back was already a little damp, and it was obvious that there were so many things. Yuan Yin only had one suitcase for herself, and the others were brought by Xu Ziqian on his own initiative, Yuan Yin looked at the things all over the place and was surprised!

Yuan Yin squatted down to tidy up, daily necessities accounted for most of it, and so on, Yuan Yin picked up a bag... What is it? He even helped her bring sanitary pads. Yuan Yin shook his head helplessly, what did he think Qingwan was? A rural village where you can't even buy feminine products?

Xu Ziqian came back from outside, grabbed a large handful of vegetables in his hand, and frowned when he saw Yuan Yin holding the pack of sanitary napkins.

"Cough..."Xu Ziqian didn't think there was anything, this kind of thing, put it in the past, it was normal: "Lunch green vegetable noodles, is it okay?" ”

Yuan Yin nodded, and then cleaned up.

"No meat! After lunch, I went to a nearby mall to buy it. ”

Xu Ziqian grabbed the vegetables and walked to the kitchen, and then, washing vegetables, cooking, lighting a fire, and then the sound of pots and spoons colliding was endless!

The dignified president of Xu's family can actually cook?

Yuan Yin had a strong curiosity, got up and tiptoed to the kitchen door, and then quietly leaned on the door to look in, skillful, focused, and rich in life experience, because he tasted the noodles a few times when he was cooking, instead of taking it for granted that it could be served when it was cooked.

This is by no means the first time Xu Ziqian has cooked, thinking of his previous sentence "In the five years that you have been away, what woman has I not seen Xu Ziqian?" Yuan Yin couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, yes, there are so many women, there must always be one who is willing to wash her hands and make soup for her.

Anyway, five years ago, she cooked for him!

Yuan Yin retreated to her body, leaning against the cold wall, imagining that in the past five years, Xu Ziqian had done this for that woman more than once, and she had an indescribable sourness in her heart!

Xu Ziqian came out with two bowls of noodles, and just saw Yuan Yin leaning there, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and pulled her aside!

"It's so cold on the wall, what are you leaning on, you're going to cough when you're cold!" Although it is blame, it is not difficult to hear the concern!

Yuan Yin slowly pulled out her hand, and the words she said were cold and lukewarm, "Hungry, let's eat!" ”

It tasted pretty good. Yuan Yin ate one bite at a time, not paying attention to the image, but thinking about the scene just now, she was tidying up things, he was busy in the kitchen, like a couple who had lived for many years!

Even though she knew that those seemingly warm scenes did not belong to her for a moment, she was still full of expectations that one day in the future, she would have such an unpretentious life with the person she loved!

"What? Not to your liking? Xu Ziqian could see that she was a little absent-minded, even if the sentence "hungry" just now was indescribably perfunctory!

Yuan's old house is not big, and because no one has lived in it for more than ten years, many of the furniture have been damaged!

There is only one mahogany table in the hall, for many years, it is said that it was built by Yuan Yin's grandfather when Yuan Mingyuan got married, even today, it is not outdated, and it is on this table that they eat!

Yuan Yin smiled and shook her head, that smile, not to mention how cold it is!

She asked him, "When did you learn to cook?" ”

He replied, "Very early!" ”

It would have been very early, as early as which year, which month, that day, he didn't say, but Yuan Yin seemed to have an answer!

In fact, about cooking, Xu Ziqian has something to hide, he can cook very early, this is a fact, when is it early? Probably when he was a teenager, his mother was not in good health, although Zhang Zhen was there, but sometimes he would personally make soup for his mother, and after coming and going, he would practice his cooking skills.

It's just that after being with Yuan Yin, he rarely has a lot of time, although Yuan Yin's cooking is difficult to swallow, but he enjoys the kind of warmth that only she can bring him!
