On the same day, they simply cleaned up the belongings left behind by their grandmother.

Qin Ran took out a few large boxes from the cabinet, and also found a few wooden boxes from the corner of the utility room.

Because some of them were already moldy, Zhong Zhicheng helped her move them to the yard, and Qin Ran took a cloth to wipe the dust and mold on them.

Opening the boxes one by one, a burst of musty smell was suffocating, and Qin Ran subconsciously covered his nose.

"I'll look for it, you go and pack your luggage," Zhong Zhicheng stood in front of Qin Ran and stopped her behind him.

"I'll come, you don't know what works and what doesn't," Qin Ran grabbed Zhong Zhicheng's arm and pulled him away a little, "You go and lose those bed boards, otherwise it will not be good for them to see your uncle and them in the future." ”

"Okay," Zhong Zhicheng smiled, seeing that Qin Ran was still blushing and shy about the previous incident, he smiled from the heart.

After Zhong Zhicheng left, Qin Ran dealt with these old things alone.

The box is still a quaint flip-top type, with red vermilion lacquer and gold Mouding. However, there are still two cardboard boxes, because they have been too long, there are already traces of being bitten.

Looking through the contents, there were only some worn paper, or some old books, the covers were yellowed, and the brown paper covers were torn.

Qin Ran took it out little by little, looked through it carefully, some recorded the family's income and expenditure, some wrote the names and birthdays of the family, and some were the homework and exam papers of Qin Ran's uncles when they were in school.

I didn't expect grandma to even accept these.

After rummaging through it for a long time, I finally found a green plastic notepad at the bottom of a box. The notepad is very well preserved, with no signs of damage at all, except for a slight yellowing of the paper.

The green paper reads "So-and-so Construction Factory Workbook".

Qin Ran was a little curious and opened it carefully.

July 30, 1993, fine.

"The little girl of the Shuhua family was born, she looks so ugly......"

Seeing the first sentence, Qin Ran choked up, Shuhua is the name of Qin Ran's mother, and the little girl of Shuhua's family is Qin Ran, and July 30, 1994 is her birthday.

At the beginning of this diary, she wrote about her birth, and Qin Ran was inexplicably moved in her heart.

Putting this diary away, Qin Ran checked the other boxes again, and tossed around for a whole afternoon, but found nothing, except for this diary.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Qin Ran remembered that he asked Zhong Zhicheng to throw away the waste bed board, and he seemed to have thrown it all afternoon.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, Qin Ran hurriedly went to the vegetable store in the residential area below to buy something and prepare for the evening.

When he went out, he looked at the paper he had spread all over the yard, shook his head helplessly, and could only wait for Zhong Zhicheng to come back and clean up together.

Descending the mountain along the path, Qin Ranyuan went to the vegetable shop opened by Aunt Liu.

After entering the door, he found that there was no one in the vegetable shop, Qin Ran was puzzled, and heard two men passing by outside.

"I heard that those unscrupulous developers are here again?"

"But isn't it, I heard that this time there is a big reason, and it was originally said that the plan for moving the grave has also changed, saying that what kind of ancestral hall will be built, and the compensation for each family's original grave relocation will be doubled."

"Really? So generous?

”

"Don't believe it, people are in front, let's go, let's go and see together."

"Let's take a look."

Qin Ran was concentrating on choosing vegetables in the small vegetable shop, thinking about what to eat at night, they finally stayed here for one night, and they had to go back tomorrow, Zhong Zhicheng would start work the day after tomorrow.

After waiting for a while, sure enough, Aunt Liu came back, with tears of excitement on her face, wiping her tears.

Seeing Qin Ran in the store, Aunt Liu hurriedly wiped her face a few times and put out a smile, "Ran Ran is here." ”

Qin Ran saw her crying, "Aunt Liu, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the hard life has come to an end, my parents' graves and your mother's graves are on that hill, and the developer promised to pay double compensation, and I can find a store with a better store," Aunt Liu sighed.

"Do you still want to build an ancestral hall?" Qin Ran asked.

"Yes, this method is good, otherwise you say, where do we move the grave out, the surrounding land has been planned, and then it is more than ten kilometers away in the mountains, too far," Aunt Liu was worried, "I am the only one left in my family, where can I find someone to move the grave of a widow, such an unfortunate thing, unless I am my own family, who wants to do it." ”

It's different if there is an ancestral hall, if people are gone, they are looking for a place to rest their souls, as long as there is a place, it doesn't matter where they are. After building an ancestral hall, they don't have to worry about moving the grave, especially since she is still a widow.

"Life is hard, my parents are not early, my brothers are gone, and I married a short-lived ghost," Aunt Liu choked up as she spoke, wiped her tears, and forced a smile, "If it weren't for this grave relocation money this time, I really don't know how to live in the future." ”

It must have been her relatives who blessed her in the spirit of heaven to rekindle hope in her life. To know how difficult it is for a woman to pull a child.

She thanked Heaven and Earth for the gift.

"Everything will be fine," Qin Ran stepped forward and hugged Aunt Liu, patting her on the back gently.

Aunt Liu seemed to have found a support, she leaned on Qin Ran's arms, she actually felt at ease, she hadn't felt this way for a long time, she had been alone for so long, taking the child to endure the pain and swallow it, there were hardships and grievances that could not be spoken, and no one asked her to speak.

At this time, Qin Ran was the outlet for her emotions, she opened the embankment that had accumulated for a long time, and let negative emotions and all kinds of resentment gush out.

"I had a hard life in my life, and I thought that I could live a free life by marrying a factory worker with a fixed income, but I didn't expect that he would be gone in just a few years."

"When he left, my daughter was just over three years old, and I was alone in a different place to pull her to grow up, and the thing here-"

The more Aunt Liu spoke, the more choked she became, and finally she couldn't speak.

Qin Ran patted her on the back and comforted her, she could only be a serious listener.

"Uncle, how did he not have it?" Qin Ran asked cautiously.

Qin Ran has heard many versions of this story, some people say that Aunt Liu had an affair with her next-door neighbor and partnered with her lover to frame her husband.

It is also said that Aunt Liu overcame it in her life, her father and mother were gone not long after she got married, the child was just three years old, and her husband was gone.

Qin Ran didn't believe any of these rumors, she knew best how gentle her Aunt Liu was.

"Hey-it's all a bad fate, your uncle's factory where he worked was leaked, he was on duty that night, and the people were gone that night," Aunt Liu has already seen this matter, and the pain of her deceased husband has become less painful with the baptism of the years, and she only sighs.

"What year is this?" Qin Ran seemed to have found some clues.

"Twelve years ago, you were only eleven or twelve." Aunt Liu replied.

Qin Ran carefully calculated the time and muttered, "I was twelve years old at the time, and he—just eighteen years old?!"

"What eighteen?" Aunt Liu heard the words from Qin Ran's mouth and asked puzzledly.

"It's okay," Qin Ran was preoccupied.

After chatting with Aunt Liu for a few more words, she turned around and walked to choose a few random dishes inside, and Qin Rancai returned to the old house before it was completely dark.

Zhong Zhicheng hadn't come back yet, Qin Ran took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhong Zhicheng's number.

It rang for a long time before it was connected.

"Hey, Zhong Zhicheng, where are you?" Qin Ran was slightly angry.

"Ahem," Zhong Zhicheng knew that he had snubbed Qin Ran because of the matter, and he was a little embarrassed, if Qin Ran hadn't called him now, he would have forgotten that it was already dark.

Just as he was about to explain, the uncle next to him wanted to speak, "Ranran is looking for you to go back, and if she looks for you, you will go back quickly, what time is it wasting with me?"

Zhong Zhicheng was aggrieved, he just came out to throw out the garbage, and it was his uncle who called him to urge him to hurry over and solve the matter.

At that time, dozens of people from Tao Town surrounded his uncle, and he refused to stop until he came up with a solution.

Originally, my uncle wanted Zhong Zhicheng to call Qin Zhenghua to solve this matter, but he didn't expect Zhong Zhicheng to take the initiative to propose a plan to solve this matter.

However, this matter is not small, Qin Zhenghua also came, and personally took them to the hill to investigate.

Uncle Lao Lu saw with his own eyes that Zhong Zhicheng knelt and kowtowed three times in front of the tombs of Qin Ran's grandmother and mother.

He was surprised.

It's just that Qin Ran didn't have a chance to see this scene.

Qin Ran heard the voice of his uncle Lao Lu on the other end of the phone, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle is also there?"

"Well, next to me, he came here to inspect today, I'm afraid that he won't be able to bear it, so I'll go back with him and go back immediately," Zhong Zhicheng explained clearly.

Qin Ran bit her lip and let out a voice of annoyance, she was like a domineering little daughter-in-law just now, and Zhong Zhicheng's voice of angry questioning must have also been heard by her uncle.

What he said was an affirmative sentence, and she asked Zhong Zhicheng to go back.

"You talk first, I'll go cook, come back early, otherwise the rice will be cold," here is better than Zhijiang City, the rice is not hot when it is cold.

"I know, I'll go back right away," Zhong Zhicheng hung up the phone.

At this time, he and his uncle Lao Lu were discussing matters in a hotel in Manshan County, and his uncle Lao Lu had originally handed over the hotel customer service and sent some food.

Zhong Zhicheng was not very hungry, but Qin Ran's phone call completely aroused his cravings.

Qin Ran didn't say anything else, his cooking skills were quite good, and he was very satisfied.

Glancing at the time, Zhong Zhicheng was a little irritable, "I should be able to rush back in an hour." ”

The ambulance also arrived in more than an hour.

Uncle Lao Lu frowned when he heard his words, "You drive slowly for me on the road, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of your car," Zhong Zhicheng deliberately misinterpreted his uncle's meaning to mean that he cared about his car.

The uncle glared at him dissatisfiedly, "You are really, the car is only worth a few dollars." ”

Zhong Zhicheng naturally knew his uncle's kindness, said goodbye with a smile, and strode towards the underground parking lot with a swift figure.

Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road from Manshan County to Tao Town at night, so Zhong Zhicheng drove all the way and took 40 minutes to reach Tao Town.

When he entered the door, Qin Ran was serving food to the living room.

Entering the door, Zhong Zhicheng saw the papers and books spread out on the ground, and Zhong Zhicheng finally knew what Qin Ran was doing that day.

Qin Ran held the freshly cooked dishes in both hands, and when he saw the man who appeared at the door, his eyebrows were raised, and his face turned horizontal, "Nuo, have you seen the things on the ground, and the things to clean up are all yours." ”

"Huh?" Zhong Zhicheng smiled bitterly, Qin Ran is becoming more and more presumptuous now, and he even has a trick to punish him.

"Okay," he said, but he admitted that he was unlucky.

stepped forward and took the plate in Qin Ran's hand, the fragrant and familiar taste came to his face, Zhong Zhicheng hooked his lips, "You feed me first, let me have the strength to be punished, I haven't eaten for a day." ”

"Why don't you hurry up if you haven't eaten?" Qin Ran is becoming more and more unscrupulous now, because no matter how she goes overboard, Zhong Zhicheng can tolerate it.

Zhong Zhicheng's tolerance undoubtedly contributed to Qin Ran's trembling heart, but Qin Ran also deeply suspected that Zhong Zhicheng's heart was definitely shaking.

After the meal, Qin Ran went to wash the dishes, and Zhong Zhicheng cleaned up the mess that Qin Ran had put up.

After cleaning up, his whole body is going to fall apart, not to mention that he has been running around all day today, and there is such heavy work waiting for him at night.

Stretching out his arms and moving briefly, Qin Ran had already washed up, lying on the windowsill and looking at him in the yard.

Zhong Zhicheng saw the little woman lying on the windowsill, and couldn't help but strode towards the house.

Qin Ran saw him enter the house, greeted him with a smile, and originally wanted to say a few words, but as soon as Zhong Zhicheng entered the house, he directly took Qin Ran's shoulder and put her down on the bed.
