In the face of Nannan's inquiry, Qiao Xi patiently explained to her that there are children like her in the city, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and zoos that children like.

Nan Nan's big eyes flashed with longing and happiness, after all, she was just a child, and she bit her fingers and asked carefully: "Then, sister, is there anything delicious in the city?" ”

"Yes!" Qiao Xi nodded firmly and rubbed her little head, for the children in the mountain village, maybe they could eat a good meal, which was what they longed for the most.

After you have no worries about food and clothing, you will pursue more things that interest you.

From the mountain road in front of the village, the shadow of a black car gradually appeared, because the road was too rough, and the car drove very slowly.

Qiao Xi watched from afar, pulled Nannan to the side, the car stopped in front of them, turned the front of the car again, and then the door opened.

Ji Xuyang walked out of it.

Qiao Xi's parents once asked Ji Xuyang to come to their house as a guest, Qiao Xi was worried that her parents would say that she had been in trouble before, so they asked Ji Xuyang to wait until she had time to go back together.

Ji Xuyang knew that Qiao Xi would take Nan Nan back, so he bent down and gently scraped Nan Nan's little nose, which made Nan Nan giggle.

Qiao Xi carried the girl into the back compartment, and when they were seated, Ji Xuyang drove the car out.

They got on the highway in the evening and drove all the way to the city where Qiao Xi lived. Qiao Xi fell asleep in the back with her arms around her, and when she woke up, she had already gotten off the highway, and the sky was white, and a new day was coming as scheduled.

Now it has entered a township, and in a few hours, it will reach the city.

Ji Xuyang parked the car in front of a breakfast shop and went in for breakfast together, and the waiter quickly brought soy milk and fritters, as well as some small pickles.

Qiao Xi noticed that Nan Nan was holding half a fritter in her hand, and she hesitated to eat it reluctantly.

"Hello, are you full?" Qiao Xi asked curiously.

"Ang, I'm full." Nan Nan happily agreed to look at the fritters in her hand, raised her little head again, and said timidly, "Sister, can I put one back for grandma?" ”

Qiao Xi's nose was sour, and she quickly avoided her eyes, and when she turned around again, she shook her head gently, "Nannan, now you eat obediently, finish the fritters in your hand first, and when you earn money in the future, buy more delicious food for grandma." ”

She knew that Nan Nan was a sensible and filial child, but now she should take the fritters away, and when she returns to Xiaoquanzi Village again, the fritters may be broken.

Nan Nan nodded sensibly, and bit the fritters in her hand hard, she didn't eat at all, she just thought about her grandmother at home.

At this moment, Qiao Xi and Ji Xuyang were silent.

After breakfast, the car continued to drive out, and in the middle of the afternoon, the car stopped downstairs at Qiao Xi's house.

Qiao Xi's parents took leave to stay at home, and when they heard the sound of the car outside, the two of them hurriedly ran down.

"Uncle and aunt." Ji Xuyang greeted the old couple who came down from the entrance of the building with a smile.

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more satisfied, Qiao Xi's mother Luo Haifeng can't stop nodding, holding Ji Xuyang's hand and asking long and short questions.

Qiao Xi's father, Qiao Guodong, looked over and waved his hand very imposingly, "Xuyang has been driving for so long, don't be long-winded, let him go upstairs and rest quickly." ”

Luo Haifeng smiled and hurriedly signaled to the entrance downstairs, "That's right, go upstairs with your aunt." ”

"Mom, do you still have me as a girl in your heart!" Qiao Xi stood by the car and shouted angrily.

Luo Haifeng patted his head and turned back embarrassedly, "Look at my brain, I was happy to patronize, and I forgot about my precious daughter." ”

Qiao Guodong glared at her, and when he looked at Ji Xuyang, his face was instantly full of smiles, "Xuyang, leave them alone, let's go upstairs first." ”

He and Ji Xuyang's father are old friends, and they are familiar with Ji Xuyang, and the two of them went upstairs together.

Qiao Xi took the girl out of the car, and she was a little scared, she kept biting her fingers, shaking her big eyes and quietly looking at Luo Haifeng.

"This is Nannan!" Luo Haifeng's face was full of kindness, took Nan Nan into her arms, and gently rubbed her head, "How long have you been in the car, are you tired?" ”

"I'm not tired." Nan Nan looked at Luo Haifeng without blinking, probably feeling the warm love, and instantly became happy, shaking her little head and calling Auntie.

With such a cute child, Luo Haifeng was so happy that she forgot Qiao Xi again, and went upstairs directly with Nan Nan in her arms.

"Nannan, don't bite your fingers in the future, you know if it's unhygienic?" Luo Haifeng said with a smile.

Nan Nan obediently took her fingers out of her mouth, Luo Haifeng gave her a handkerchief, and then her eyes fell on Nan Nan's hair.

After all, she is the attending doctor of the big hospital, and her hair is soft and yellow, which is a symptom of malnutrition, and she feels the need to go to the hospital to check the blood and see what elements are missing.

Qiao Xi watched everyone go upstairs, and felt a sense of being ignored, so she stomped her feet fiercely and went upstairs with her mouth shut.

Upstairs, everyone was chatting in the living room, Qiao Guodong grabbed Ji Xuyang and kept chatting about the interesting things with his father, laughing happily from time to time.

Luo Haifeng brought a fruit plate, sat on the sofa and peeled apples for Nannan, and looked at Nannan a few times lovingly.

Qiao Xi stood in the living room, for a second, and still no one paid attention to her.

"Sister, sister." Nan Nan found Qiao Xi, happily climbed off the sofa, ran over and hugged one of Qiao Xi's legs.

Qiao Xi suddenly had a smile on her face, and returned to the sofa with her arms in her arms.

Luo Haifeng glanced at Qiao Xi a few times, smiled at Ji Xuyang and asked, "Xuyang, you and Xixi have been together for so long, have you ever thought about when to hold a wedding!" ”

Qiao Xi's face turned red.

Ji Xuyang was also a little overwhelmed, and his eyes glanced at Qiao Xi.

In fact, at this moment, they are not sure what kind of relationship they have, originally it was just to cope with the two families, but as the contact deepened, the relationship seemed to have changed.

Ji Xuyang smiled, "Let's put this matter aside for a while, Qiao Xi and I are very busy now." ”

"You're busy with work." Qiao Guodong glanced at Qiao Xi unhappily, "What Qiao Xi is busy with, I don't think she can tell clearly." Let her find a good unit to work or go to graduate school, and she has to go so far to be the village secretary. ”

"Uncle, you're really wrong. I'm busy with work, but it's just work. And what Qiao Xi is busy with is the livelihood of a village and the hope of the whole village. At this point, I admire her, she is doing something with responsibility and responsibility. ”

Ji Xuyang was silent and told Qiao Guodong about the recent development of Xiaoquanzi Village.

Including the renovation of old houses, the greening of barren mountains, vegetable greenhouses and so on......

Qiao Guodong listened very carefully, and looked at Qiao Xi from time to time, her daughter was much better than he imagined.

"Tell your aunt, what are your parents doing at home? Is it farming? Luo Haifeng handed the peeled apple to Nannan.

Nan Nan suddenly lowered her head, her little face showed a touch of sadness, and then she raised her head and smiled, "Dad and Mom have left Nannan, and Dad needs to wait until Nannan is admitted to college before he can go home." Mom seems to have traveled far away, but she believes that she will come back one day. ”

Nan Nan actually understood that his father would never come back, and he also understood what death meant. But she is still willing to believe Qiao Xi's words, her father will really come back when she graduates from college.

My sister never lied to her, and she was willing to believe in her all the time.

Her mother didn't know where she had gone because the village was poor, but Nannan's grandmother never said that her mother was bad, especially in front of her.

Even if she doesn't feel her mother's love, she can't be filled with hatred at such a young age, and let her live a healthy and happy life.

Qiao Xi pulled Luo Haifeng into the bedroom, and began to blame herself for not telling her mother about Nannan, hoping that Nannan didn't feel sad because of what she said just now.

After Luo Haifeng listened to Qiao Xi's story, her eyes suddenly turned red, she never thought that a little girl who was only five years old could bear so much.
