The two workers brought by Li Zhu quickly sorted out the drawings and other sundries in Qin Sangruo's house and put them into cardboard boxes.

"I've summarized all of them, just hand them over to Director Li directly!" Qin Sangruo said.

"Secretary Qin, rest assured, we will definitely hand over clearly!" One of the tall workers said.

The two jobs moved back and forth twice, and they moved the office things in Qin Sangruo's house almost the same, and the originally crowded guest room was brightened.

The workers loaded the things into the car, and Li Zhu stayed behind to help her clean up the house.

"Secretary Qin bought a ticket for the day, I'll see if I can walk with you, I have a companion on the way!" Li Zhu said.

Qin Sangruo sorted out his personal belongings and put them in the suitcase: "I'm sorry, I won't go back to Jiangcheng first!" ”

Li Zhu stopped what he was doing and looked up at her: "Don't go back to Jiangcheng?" So where are you going? ”

"Qizhou."

Li Zhu: "Qizhou? ”

Two days later, Qin Sangruo arrived in Qizhou by high-speed train.

Qizhou is located in the southwest, the climate is warm and humid, and the temperature is the same as that of Qi County.

On the high-speed rail, Qin Sangruo felt the temperature difference between the north and the south, and changed the down jacket into a coat in advance, but it was still hot later, so he simply changed the sweater to an autumn base layer.

After getting off the high-speed train, she changed the outer tweed coat into a windbreaker for autumn.

The average daily temperature in Qizhou is maintained at fifteen or sixteen degrees, which is not about the same as the temperature in autumn in Jiangcheng.

Get out of the high-speed rail station and follow the signs to the negative floor and take a taxi.

"Master, I'm going here!" Qin Sangruo took a hand-copied address and showed it to the taxi driver.

The driver whispered the address at the beginning of the year and muttered in the dialect of Qizhou: "The place is so remote!" "I don't really want to pull it.

"Let's go, master, I'll give you more money when it's time!" Qin Sangruo said with a smile.

The taxi driver slowly started the car and drove towards the north of Qizhou.

Qin Sangruo is located in the area where the old city of Qizhou connects with the countryside, commonly known as the suburban junction.

She still couldn't fully adapt to the climate in the taxi, it was too hot, so she opened the windows and let the wind in.

The taxi driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and spoke to her in non-standard Mandarin: "Miss is from the north, right?" ”

Qin Sangruo: "Well, the Northeast." ”

The driver smiled: "No wonder." What are you doing in Qizhou, traveling? ”

Qin Sangruo thought for a while: "Visit relatives." ”

After speaking, he added: "Visit a grandmother who is not seen a lot!" ”

Driver: "Miss and grandma are alive, so happy!" ”

The wind blew in and blew on Qin Sangruo's face, feeling itchy.

Yes, she was very happy and lucky, and when she was desperate, there was such an old man who could ask her for help.

The taxi driver drove all the way north, Qin Sangruo took the high-speed train for six hours, was very tired, and finally couldn't bear it, and fell asleep in the back seat of the taxi.

I don't know how long it took for her to be woken up by a taxi driver.

"Hey, Miss get off somewhere!"

The taxi driver opened the back door and whispered to her.

Qin Sangruo woke up in a daze, forgot that he was in the car for the first time, and was about to stand up, accidentally touching the top of his head.

Ouch, it hurts!

The taxi driver laughed at her outside: "Miss, be careful, don't crash my car!" ”

"If it breaks, I'll press myself to you, and go to your house to be your daughter!" Qin Sangruo joked to the taxi driver.

Taxi driver: "I can't afford to raise such a precious daughter of yours, I don't have that blessing!" ”

Qin Sangruo joked a few words with the driver, settled the fare, took the suitcase out of the trunk, waved goodbye to the taxi driver, and walked towards a small white building not far away with the slowly descending sun.

There is still a vague shadow in her memory of this small white building, at that time she felt that the small white building was built very beautiful and elegant, but now it seems to be very ordinary, after more than ten years of wind and rain, it is even a little dilapidated.

She pulled her suitcase and walked to the small white building.

There is a courtyard in front of the small white building, which is fenced off with an iron fence, and you can clearly see the inside from the outside.

The courtyard is divided into two sides by a stone path, and on one side is planted all kinds of flowers, the flowers are very good, red and yellow, and they are lovely.

On one side planted some seasonal vegetables, cabbage, radish, leek, celery.

There was a pomegranate tree in one corner of the vegetable garden, and the tree was full of fruits, and the owner of the garden did not pick them, and some of the fruits had already smiled crookedly, revealing the tender pomegranate grains inside.

Qin Sangruo stood outside the gate and looked at the small courtyard, with a lot of thoughts, her childhood memories were like a movie, one picture after another passed through her mind.

She sniffed, grabbed the lion's head ring on the gate, and slammed it a few times: "Is anyone there?" ”

After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out of the small building with a handful of celery, and she stood on the steps and looked at Qin Sangruo: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for Li Yizhen's mother-in-law, is she still living here?"

The woman blinked sluggishly: "Who is Li Yizhen's mother-in-law?" ”

As soon as her words fell, a dry hand rested on her shoulder: "Girl, what are you looking for me?" ”

Qin Sangruo turned around and saw that the person in front of him was in his seventies, wearing a white loose silk Tai Chi suit and carrying a sword on his back.

She is in good spirits, her eyes are bright, her eyes are not dazzling, her back is not bent, and her face is wrinkled, but what the years have left her is not full of devastation, but sufficient wisdom.

At first glance, she looks like the kind of weathered old man full of wisdom!

"Granny Li!" Qin Sangruo said in surprise.

Li Yizhen was unmoved, and her expression was light: "I am Li Yizhen, who are you?" ”

"I'm Qin Sangruo, Xiao Ruo, Qin Musheng's daughter!" Qin Sangruo said excitedly.

Li Yizhen didn't speak immediately, as if she was recalling, and after a while, she smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's Xiao Ruo, her appearance has changed, but the cinnabar mole under your ear won't change!" ”

Qin Sangruo touched his earlobe embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, do you still remember it?" ”

Li Yizhen snorted lightly: "It's just more than ten years, what can't I remember!" She raised her head and yelled into the courtyard: "Alan open the door and let Xiao Ruo in!" ”

Before she came, Qin Sangruo was very worried in her heart, after all, she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, she was really afraid that Li Yizhen didn't know her, or Li Yizhen had already moved to her residence and no longer lived in this small courtyard.

Now all the apprehension has turned into joy.

Although she hasn't got down to business yet, a good start is half the battle, and she feels that if she can meet the people she wants to meet, this will most likely be done.

The middle-aged woman named Alan is a distant niece of Li Yizhen, because she had a head injury, there was something wrong with her brain, and her reaction was slower than ordinary people, so Li Yizhen took her to her side as a companion.

Although Alan is a little slow to react, he is an expert in housework, laundry and cleaning, cooking and growing vegetables, and he is proficient in everything, which really relieves Li Yizhen of a lot of worries.

Qin Sangruo and Li Yizhen entered the house, Li Yizhen chopped the meat, and prepared to wrap celery and meat stuffed dumplings.

"You girl has always been blessed, and Alain's craftsmanship is not something that ordinary people can eat!" Li Yizhen went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and said while wiping her hands with a towel.

"It's not that my mother-in-law loves me, if my mother-in-law doesn't love me, I just can't be in a hurry, and I don't have this mouthful!"

Li Yizhen smiled, pointed at her and said, "Sure enough, you have grown up and are articulate, if you want me to tease you back then, you will blush!" ”

"Mother-in-law Hugh wants to make fun of me again, I'll be embarrassed!"

Qin Sangruo washed his hands and joined the army of dumplings,

Li Yizhen rolled the skin, and she and Alan wrapped it together.

Alan Bao's is fast and good, just like magic, compared to Qin Sangruo's is slow and stupid.

"It doesn't matter what you look like, just pinch your mouth tightly and don't show your stuffing!" Li Yizhen saw her worries and said from the side.

Qin Sangruo smiled, neatly arranged a wrapped dumpling on the board, and said a little embarrassedly: "I always don't do well at cooking."

Li Yizhen: "It's good that you can do this kind of thing, think when you were a child, your father didn't even let you do the work of pouring water!" ”

"Mother-in-law, my father ......"

Li Yizhen raised his hand holding the rolling pin: "Don't say it, I know everything, good has a good end, evil has a bad reward, everyone has a way to go, no one can force it!" ”

Qin Sangruo took the dumpling wrapper and bowed his head silently.

After wrapping the dumplings, Alan went directly into the kitchen to put the pot in the pot, Qin Sangruo: "Has my mother-in-law always eaten dinner so early?" ”

It's almost six o'clock, and it's still very bright outside.

At six o'clock in Qi County, the whole world was already dark, and Qin Sangruo had dinner after dark.

So visually, it feels like it's still early, but it's actually similar to the meal she ate at night in Qi County.

"Alain and I don't have morning or night, we eat when I'm hungry, Alain is an anxious person, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat the dumplings right away!"

Li Yizhen was talking to Qin Sangruo, and Alan was holding a colander with a steaming dumpling in it.

It was handed to Qin Sangruo's mouth: "You taste it, are you ripe?" ”

Qin Sangruo blew away the heat on it with the colander, swallowed a whole dumpling into his mouth, chewed it with the heat, and nodded: "It's cooked!" ”

"It's ready to cook!" Alain muttered to himself, turned and strode towards the kitchen.

"Alain likes you very much!" Li Yizhen said.

In fact, if Qin Sang was not too hungry, he couldn't withstand Alain's hospitality, so he ate a big bowl.

After eating the dumplings, the sky outside gradually darkened, and Li Yizhen called Qin Sangruo, who was helping Alan wash the dishes: "Girl, go out and consume food!" ”

Qin Sangruo agreed, wiped his hands and came out.

Li Yizhen changed into a thicker dress, and the zipper was pulled to the top, showing that her neck was very long and her back was very straight.

Qin Sangruo followed her out of the courtyard, and in the distance was an endless field, they were walking on a country dirt road, and the night breeze blew gently, messing up the cooking smoke on the roofs of people in the distance.

"Tell me what you're here for, what are you doing with me?" Li Yizhen walked beside Qin Sangruo and asked her lightly.
