"Are you sure you want to live here?" Chen Ke was taken aback, she originally wanted Meng Yao to go to live in the nunnery with her and her mother for a few days, even if the Jiang family was powerful, they would probably not run there to spread wild, and they lived quietly in the hut by the vegetable garden, and generally no one would disturb them, so no one should find out for a while. But Meng Yao got out of the car in Xi City, and then called a car and sent him directly to the welfare home.

Hearing Meng Yao's explanation, the dean hesitated, but still agreed, after all, Meng Yao said that he was just borrowing it, and he was responsible for the expenses he needed, and the house in the welfare home was still enough, and Meng Yao's love for their welfare home in the past twenty years was not a small amount, if it wasn't for the difficulties, such a young girl with such an ugly face asked to live in a place like theirs. The reason why she hesitated was that she felt that this environment was not very good for Meng Yao, and Meng Yao asked her to ask for the most partial, almost dilapidated red brick houses in the welfare home, which were originally to be demolished, but now they are really a mess.

"In this way, you go to the farmhouse under the welfare house for two days, and I will find someone to tidy up the house tomorrow, three or five days, what do you think?" Meng Yao disagreed with the other houses, there are indeed many people here, I don't want to be found like this, otherwise there are too many places suitable for her to live, and the people who work in their welfare homes are not so difficult that there is no way to come in. Meng Yao nodded, and agreed. Chen Ke took out a card.

"Dean Yang, even if this house is repaired by us, as rent, how much money can be repaired." It doesn't seem appropriate to let the welfare institute pay for them to repair the house, but now she doesn't have to worry about the money, she hasn't paid back Lu Wenting's money, and no one is looking for her to pay back, and her father has paid her a lot of wages in her card, which is probably more than Zhang Ying's salary every month, and she is now a little rich woman.

"Well, let's wait until we fix it, okay? But I remember what you said, there is a family outside the dormitory wall who wants to move to the city to live with their children, the house is ready to be sold, and the price is relatively low. But the money on it has not come down, so I am embarrassed to talk to people anymore, it is really better to rent or buy their house to repair the red brick house, everything is ready-made, more secluded. Dean Yang Yang saw that Chen Ke was ready to pay for it, this was obviously to live for a period of time, and he wanted to build that house, but it was better to build it like this, and it would cost money and work.

"Okay, is that person at home?" Meng Yao thought about it, she originally felt like an orphan, and the welfare home was suitable for her, but when she really arrived here, she found that it was really too depressing, within the walls, although her body was imprisoned, her heart wanted to break free even more.

"I'll give you a call and ask!" Dean Yang smiled and took out the phone, called out, and chatted in dialect for a while. Meng Yao and the others understood, and the man seemed to mean that he was chatting with people in the village and could go home immediately.

"He's at home, I'll take you there, this person is still easier to talk to, that is, the child is a little sweeter, your mouth is sweeter, and it's better to sign the agreement with this old man first." Dean Yang said that this can be said to be sad, at that time with the old man agreed on the price, but did not sign an agreement, and when their children came back and heard that it was a welfare institute to buy, they immediately disagreed with the price, and it actually rose a lot, saying that the housing prices in the city have risen even more, but in this remote suburb, even if the price has risen, there is no buyer's market, the house cannot be sold at all, and later regretted finding Dean Yang, but at that time, the money of the welfare institute had been used for other purposes, so he could only give up, and told him that he would reconsider when the welfare institute had money.

"Is that okay?" The two girls didn't know much about such things, "It should be okay if we rent a house, right?" ”

"Well, it should be possible, if it's only for a short time, but it can be rented, I thought wrong, after all, to repair that house is comparable to their family's rent for several years, and some more will probably be able to buy this house." What Dean Yang said was the truth, where did Meng Yao and Chen Ke experience these things.

However, in the end, he rented this house, because of Meng Yao and Chen Ke's household registration problems, it was not suitable for purchase, and Chen Ke was still willing to pay for the red brick house that Meng Yao said before to rebuild, which made the owner of the house and Dean Yang very happy, and began to pack things that day, saying that the house could be vacated the next morning. Meng Yao was very satisfied with this house, because standing in the yard at the back door, she could see a tree, yes, the pear tree.

"Ke'er, that tree was planted by Ziqian, do you know what tree it is?" Finally quieted down, Meng Yao moved a stool and sat at the door as usual, but the wind was really strong, Chen Ke didn't let her out of the house.

"I don't know, who can see the bare!" Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers sounds, yes, the New Year is approaching, and it is the moon, and the two of them actually team up for the New Year, which is really a miracle.

"Pear, the separated tree, people used to be so strange, when I came to see it before, I thought that it could bear sweet and sweet fruits, it was a happy tree, but now it really deserves its name, Li." Meng Yao said with a smile, but it was full of bitterness.

"What would you like to eat for lunch today? In the past two days, there has been a lot of food at home, and now there is a phobia of choice. "The New Year is approaching, the neighbors in the village kill pigs and chickens, grind tofu to make rice cakes, and like to send some to other people's homes. However, as a return gift, the children brought fruit and milk home, so looking at the full kitchen, Chen Ke was a little embarrassed.

"Egg noodles!" Now Chen Ke doesn't let her do anything, but on such a cold day, with or without air conditioning and heating, she really doesn't want Chen Ke to be tired and frozen.

"Every day egg noodles, and there is not much nutrition, I bought a local chicken with Aunt Zhang, she cleaned it, and I was afraid that I would not chop it and cut it into small pieces, and gave a few dried shiitake mushrooms and a large bag of chestnuts, which I have put in the stew pot. I just wanted to ask you what else would you like to eat? "Now they basically rely on the neighbors to supply their food, the two of them have little appetite, and the people in the village are enthusiastic, and their lives are not in a hurry. It turns out that the days without mobile phones are not so sad, and looking at that tree can live that day.

Meng Yao shook his head, now that eating is just to keep life from dying, it doesn't matter what you eat. "It's the New Year soon, and you've returned to China, do you want to go see your mother?"

"It's okay, anyway, she's comfortable now, I won't bother her, the host won't talk about her, she should be happier." She is naturally better to stay by Meng Yao's side at this time, how to say that there are other people around her mother, even if she goes, she just glances and chats a few words, to be honest, she has not much hope for persuading her mother to be vulgar, and imposing her own will on her mother is even greater unfilial piety.

"I'm sorry to cause you to live such a hard life with me here." Far away from the city, in this dilapidated house, except for the refrigerator and a big-ass old-fashioned TV, they don't dare to use the washing machine, and the skin on the outside of the line that has aged is peeling off, Chen Ke ordered one online.

"It's not bitter, as long as you are by your side, I think any kind of day is good, and besides, we don't lack food and clothing, and we don't have to work, this day can't be more beautiful." He lifted the thick blanket onto Meng Yao's shoulders, covered her neck, and gently put his hands on her shoulders.

"Jiang Shao, today Chen Ziqian went to the suburbs and entered a private house, but he came out soon, went directly to the airport, and bought a ticket to Xi City!" This day is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the small year of the people of Xi City. Chen Ziqian drove here early in the morning, but after staying for less than two minutes, he put down his mobile phone and came out to get into the car with a solemn face. subsequently

Going straight to the airport, he bought a first-class ticket.

On the streets of Xi City, Chen Ziqian and Jiang Yichen stood at both ends of the road, it has only been a week now, Jiang Yichen's whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his eyes are not as sharp as before, if people who don't know his recent situation will probably think that he is sucking*, Chen Ziqian stood in place Jiang Yichen walked over quickly and pulled his arm.

"Where's the person?" Not only Xishi, but even Jiangcheng and the surrounding places, Chen Ke's mother's nunnery, welfare home, Chen Ke's house that belonged to Meng Yao before, the Meng family, and even Chen Tianyi's home, but wherever there is a little relationship, he has looked for them all, and even Chen Ke has investigated the current consumption situation, but nothing has been found, Chen Ke has not made any movement except for withdrawing tens of thousands of yuan in a bank a week ago, it seems that all consumption is cash transactions, so it is also to prevent tracking, There is no way to find her mobile phone signal and consumption records in the whole country, he holds his mobile phone every day and hears those feedbacks, and the mental torture makes him almost collapse, and now he knows that Chen Ziqian has returned to Xi City, he also rushed over, but seeing Chen Ziqian's current appearance, he is even more worried.

"Now I don't know where she went. Dean Yang said she had come back a few days ago, but then left. Chen Ziqian was telling the truth, the place where he was looking for someone was roughly the same as Jiang Yichen, Chen Ke and Meng Yao's usual range of activities was very limited, and he really couldn't think of any other places where the two girls could go besides these places, if it weren't for the fact that he occasionally received a message from Chen Ke in the middle of the night, he would really think that these two people were still safe. But now it is right to know that they are in H Province, but it is unknown whether they are in Xi City or Jiangcheng.

"You don't say anything like this, even if you find someone, how can you let me help you." Looking at Jiang Yichen, who turned around and left, Chen Ziqian said loudly behind his back. Jiang Yichen looked back at him, his lips opened and wanted to speak, but after a second, he still left. But the steps are a little more determined. The hand in the coat was held a little tighter.

"What's wrong with you, just say something, now I'm like this, there's nothing I can't accept." Looking at Chen Ke holding his mobile phone with a nervous expression, Meng Yao felt that something should have happened and that it had something to do with her.

"Nothing? My mom wasn't feeling well. Chen Ke pretended to be casual and said.

"No, your mobile phone number is new, or someone else's ID card, your mother usually doesn't contact you much, let alone at such a time!" From her little bit of daring to look directly, the more Meng Yao thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong, Chen Ke's number didn't do anything at all except shopping, and occasionally she would send Chen Ziqian a short message in the middle of the night, but she didn't remember the number, and Chen Ke's mother didn't remember it.

"Really, what did I lie to you, I made a call to her the other day, probably remembered."

"Give me my phone, I'll see if I can help, how can I say that I have been in medicine for so many years!" Chen Ke, who has always been honest with her, actually lied, it seems that things are not small, Kyoto, where there has been no movement for so many days, must have thought of another way, yesterday Dean Yang came, saying that Haohao and Xiaomei had come to the welfare home, and asked her if she wanted to go over to have a look, she refused, looking at the bare tree, she knew that there were two teenagers under the tree, and that was enough. Jiang Yichen and Chen Ziqian also came to look for it before, and she already knew it, but she didn't expect that this was the legendary end of the world, which was obviously close at hand, but it was dark under the lights.

"The phone is out of battery, I'll charge it first, I'll give it to you later, and I have a cold and fever, and I've already gone to see it." Grabbing his phone, he walked into the house, a little not very calm.

"Ke'er, don't hide it from me, tell me what Auntie or Brother Yichen did?" No clues can escape the eyes and ears of those two people, he is not Lu Wenting, there is someone behind him who can cover up for him, it should be Chen Ke who contacted Chen Ziqian and was known, so he sent a message.

"I don't know who it is, just say that if you don't show up again a year ago, it will be bad for Haohao." Chen Ke originally wanted to ask Chen Ziqian for help, but Meng Yao had guessed something by himself, and he couldn't say it if he wasn't honest.

"Hehe, it's so hard to chase it, I don't want to continue anymore or refuse to let me go. Okay, isn't there a few days left, tomorrow blessings, let's prepare and make a hearty breakfast! "Xi City has the habit of blessing on the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, according to legend, the family was poor in the past, and they were afraid that the creditor would come to the door to ask for debts, so they closed the door before dawn to make a delicious meal, and prayed for a good New Year.

"Okay, then do you want to tell Ziqian?" No matter how rich Meng Yao and she are, they only have two stomachs, and now they are like this, how much appetite do they really have, and they haven't eaten a small cup of rice.

"No, why bother involving him again." Even Jiang Yichen has been calculated, Chen Ziqian should be even more impossible to deal with, she feels that she owes Chen Ziqian too much, and every time she troubles him, she doesn't even say thank you.
