Grandma has a passbook, Qin Ran knows. Grandma is used to putting the passbook in the rice tank, except for grandma, only Qin Ran knows, including the passbook password, Qin Ran also knows that it is Qin Ran's grandma's birthday.

Because the passbook was made by Qin Ran's mother for her grandmother, she was afraid that her grandmother would not be able to remember other numbers, so she used her grandmother's birthday.

When grandma passed away, Qin Ran personally dug it out of the rice jar and handed it to his uncles.

Later, he also gave his uncle and grandmother a spare key to the house.

However, looking at the situation in front of him, thinking that not long after Qin Ran left, the uncles changed the lock.

Qin Ran sighed helplessly, and was about to go below to find her uncle to ask for the key.

The second uncle has always come up with the idea of the family, and the eldest uncle comes forward, and things like keys should be in the uncle's house.

My uncle has a son and a daughter in his family.

The son works in a local factory, and the daughter is married quite far.

Qin Ran and them are very old, and when Qin Ran came to her grandmother's house, the sons and daughters of her uncle's family were already married. Qin Ran basically had no friendship with them. When they meet again after leaving Manshan County, they probably won't recognize each other.

My uncle's house is in a residential area on the flat under the mountain, on the sixth floor.

Qin Ran walked down the familiar path, which was a little muddy because it had just rained. Qin Ran wore a pair of white sneakers, she was afraid that the shoes would be dirty, but she still couldn't avoid getting her shoes dirty.

If it's dirty, it's dirty, Qin Ran had no choice but to accept his fate.

When she arrived downstairs at her uncle's house, Qin Ran still hesitated, but she still gritted her teeth and decided to go up.

It is not an easy task to climb the sixth floor in one breath, Qin Ran was a little gasping when he arrived on the sixth floor, and knocked on the door after a while.

"Coming, who?" Inside, a slightly irritated and gruff voice came.

Qin Ran heard it right, this is her uncle.

"Ka Cha", the door opened from the inside, the uncle leaned out, and saw Qin Ran outside the door, first startled, and then restrained his expression, "It's Ranran, I didn't say anything first, what's the matter?"

"I'm here to get the keys to my grandmother's house, I want to go and pack my things, and my dad will come back in a few days," Qin Ran replied with a smile, explaining the purpose of his trip.

However, at the mention of Qin Zhenghua, the uncle's face suddenly turned cold several degrees, "Oh, he's back, can't he just stay with Qin Zhenglian?" Her house is big, and it's still a three-room—"

"Uncle," Qin Ran interrupted his uncle's words with a smile and explained, "Mainly because I live, I want to clean up the photos of my grandmother and my mother." And-" Qin Ran didn't want to say it, but it wouldn't work if she didn't say it at this time, "Uncle, I'm married, I just want to take some old photos with me and keep a memory, I won't come back in the future." ”

She simply explained her attitude.

She will not come back to grab real estate with them, grab subsidies for land acquisition.

Uncle couldn't believe it when he heard Qin Ran's words, Qin Ran hadn't graduated from college yet, she was only 24 this year, and her grandmother had been gone for half a year, according to custom, there could be no red things in the family for three years. Although the society is open now and we don't pay so much attention to it, it will take a year to do it.

In any way, Qin Ran's approach is a bit unbelievable.

"You? When?" The uncle looked surprised.

"A few months ago, we only got a license, we didn't have a wedding. When I came back this time, my dad just wanted to tell you about it, he said that you are elders, and this matter should be told to you, "Maybe Qin Zhenghua is thinking from the perspective of their elders, but Qin Ran has another idea, she feels that she must tell her relatives here that she doesn't need to live under their eyes from now on."

"So that's the case," the uncle touched his lower back, took out a bunch of keys from behind him, spread them out in his hand and looked for them a few times, took a key from his hand, handed it to Qin Ran, and said with a smile, "The key is for you, you go and clean it up." ”

The uncle seemed very generous, and after giving the key to Qin Ran, he kept looking at her.

Qin Ran knew that he was going to see her leave.

She was naturally interested, took the key, and Qin Ran said goodbye and turned around to go downstairs.

"Who is outside the door, why don't you invite people in?" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside the door, and the woman walked to the door.

Qin Ran saw her aunt wearing a very casual pajamas, and she was also looking at Qin Ran through the gap between her uncle and the door.

"Is it Ranran? It's been a long time since you've seen you, come in? The eldest aunt looked at her uncle and was glared back by her uncle.

Qin Ran pretended to smirk a few times, "No, the shoes are dirty, I have to clean them up when I go back." ”

"That's it, if you go back late, you can't finish cleaning up, where do you live?" The uncle said very beautifully, and his voice was very gentle, but his eyes kept looking at the aunt and squeezing his eyebrows.

Qin Ran just didn't see it, said goodbye, and walked downstairs by himself.

After walking a few flights of stairs, the sound of the door closing behind him stopped Qin Ran's footsteps from going downstairs.

She didn't look back, and hurried downstairs as she continued.

Grandma's house has not been lived in for a long time, and there is a layer of soil inside and outside the house.

Qin Ran sprinkled the yard and swept it first.

There is a poplar tree in the yard, the branches are luxuriant, and the fallen leaves have accumulated in the courtyard has become a thick layer, and it is a little difficult to sweep it.

The small courtyard is surrounded by houses on three sides, and the courtyard is not big, but it is exquisite. The two rooms on the east side were originally the houses where Qin Ran, her mother and grandmother lived, the west side was the utility room, and the south side was the kitchen.

Qin Ran only cleaned up the place where she used to live with her mother, as well as the kitchen. Everything is still the same as before, and it is not too difficult to clean up.

When she left, she put everything away and had dust protection.

It was already afternoon when it was done, Qin Ran went out, and looked west from the hill where her grandmother's house was located, and the sunset afterglow spread over a long river, sparkling and pleasant.

This kind of scenery is not seen in Zhijiang City.

A sentence "Autumn water grows together and the sky is the same color"

's poems suddenly appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

At the beginning, grandma was sitting here, looking into the distance, holding a cloth bag of pipes and sighing to Qin Ran, why did her mother have a bad life and leave so early.

Qin Ran also stepped on this scenery and called grandma back to eat.

Seeing that the sky was not made, Qin Ran went to the vegetable shop below to buy some rice, noodles and vegetables and the like, otherwise she might be hungry for a few days here.

Below is the residential area where the uncle's house is located, there are many storefronts and asphalt roads, in short, it looks like a town.

Even if she left here since she lived in high school, it is estimated that few people remember that she is still from this town.

I found a vegetable shop that looked very simple, the store didn't even hang a billboard, and the loose sign stood next to the door, and I really couldn't tell that it was a vegetable store if I didn't look carefully.

The scale of the vegetable shop is very small, just a store of more than ten square meters, and the proprietress looks a little old, and the wrinkles on her face are already obvious. Maybe it's because I often eat vegetables and chop meat, and my hands are also very rough.

Qin Ran saw that there was a red mole on the right side of her chin, and suddenly had an impression.

Qin Ran, who was about to settle the bill after picking the dishes, looked at the woman in front of her blankly, and she asked tentatively, "Aunt Liu?"

The proprietress looked at Qin Ran and also had a familiar feeling, staring at Qin Ran's familiar face, the name was on her lips, but she couldn't call it, "You are ——?"

"Aunt Liu, I'm Qin Ran," Qin Ran replied happily, but she didn't expect that she would really meet acquaintances when she came back.

"Qin Ran? How did you get back? You're supposed to graduate, right?" Liu Xiang recognized Qin Ran and remembered Qin Ran.

"I still have half a year, Aunt Liu, didn't you leave Taozhen before? How did you come back again? Qin Ran remembered that when she was still in elementary school, Aunt Liu married and went to another town.

Aunt Liu was originally a friend of Qin Ran's mother, and according to the current statement, she is considered a best friend.

Aunt Liu's life was not good, she married a worker in a chemical factory when she was a girl, but the factory had a problem, and her husband inhaled toxic gases and was not saved.

Later, someone introduced a person from another town to her, and she married into another town.

Now seeing Aunt Liu in Tao Town, Qin Ran was overjoyed.

When she was a child, Aunt Liu was very good to her, Aunt Liu used to be in the commissary business, and she always brought candy to Qin Ran to eat.

At that time, Qin Zhenghua had not yet been promoted, her mother was also there, and the relationship between the family was not stiff, everything was the best.

Looking at the woman in front of her, the years had left deep marks on her face, and Qin Ran also saw her mother's appearance through her.

"I can't do business in other towns anymore, now I'm requisitioning land everywhere and repairing it, and the storefront shop is too expensive, I can't afford to rent it before I come back," Aunt Liu smiled, cut a piece of tofu from the side, and packed it for Qin Ran.

Qin Ran knew that this must have been given for nothing, so she hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, don't, I'm just alone, it's enough to buy these, if you can't finish eating, don't pretend." ”

"Take it, take it, it's not a few dollars," Aunt Liu quickly packed the tofu and packed it with the vegetables she bought.

"My daughter is in high school now, and she also wants to take the entrance examination, next time she meets you, you set an example for her to learn from you, and also become a doctor," Aunt Liu felt very cordial when she saw Qin Ran.

At the beginning, the little girl who wore a double ponytail and liked to have long hair was already very cute, and she also sighed that Qin Ran's mother was finally blind.

"As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to," Qin Ran herself is an example, seeing that Aunt Liu's hair has already sprouted a few white strands, she took out a pen and paper, wrote down her phone number and address, and handed it to Aunt Liu, "If she has any questions, you can call me, and if you have something, you can also call me." ”

Aunt Liu took it with a smile, carefully looked at the handwriting left by Qin Ran, and carefully put it away, like a treasure, "With you as an example, she will definitely be able to learn hard." ”

Liu Xiang carefully put the note into his pocket, and then took two apples for Qin Ran and stuffed them into Qin Ran's bag.

Qin Ran didn't ask for it, but Aunt Liu insisted on putting it in for her.

"Take it, just like you gave you candy when you were a child, keep it well," Aunt Liu put the apple in and looked up at Qin Ran and said.

Qin Ran didn't shirk it anymore, nodded and accepted it.

While there was still sun, Qin Ran said goodbye first, she still had to go home to cook.

As soon as I went up to it, I saw a circle of people pointing and talking about it around the door of my house.

Qin Ran looked at it from afar, thinking that he had recruited a thief, so he hurriedly ran back.
