From the ghost city to Panjiayuan and back to school, Le Yun tried to maintain calm, at this moment, when Yan Shuai left only himself in the dormitory, the surface was as stable as Mount Tai, and it collapsed, and he jumped up with an excited "whoop" and rushed to the bathroom.

While running, I took out a bucket from the space, ran into the bathroom, fetched half a bucket of water and brought it back to the small living room, then took out a large stainless steel basin, poured a small half basin of water, put the jade rough stone and a few small stones into the water and took a toothbrush to help them bathe.

While brushing, he happily hummed a small tune of his own creation: "Lalala, I'm a cute little god of wealth, go out to the ghost market in the morning, and bring back a small stone wow......"

Scrub scrub scrub, scrub scrub, scrub the small stone and put it in the bucket and wash it again, wipe the water stains and throw it back into the space, wash a piece and throw it away, and finally wash the jadeite rough stone and spring ribbon color, brush the dust on the surface, wipe off the water marks, throw the space, and then clean the basin and bucket and throw it back into the space.

The stone was thrown back into the space, and the person hurried back to his own one-third of an acre, and when he stood on the grass of his own private territory, Le Yun stared at two round eyes: "......"

Last night, I set off to the ghost market at one o'clock in the morning, so I didn't have time to go back to the space in the morning and noon, so I missed that little time, the melons, fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials planted in the medicine field were like eating a booster, and they looked so fierce and abnormal, lily, dendrobium, ginseng, yam and other various medicinal materials were some budding to be released, and some flowers were blooming, and they were purple and red everywhere.

Melons, fruits and vegetables are not far behind, melons are full of flowers, flowers are full of branches, peppers are full of trees, some are still red, some pumpkins are most suitable for harvesting in the morning, but they are not harvested in the morning, and they are not harvested at noon, they grow fat and strong, rolling on the ground to dry their belly, those melons grow too big, it is not suitable to pick them to eat tender melons, they can only leave it for their elders.

It's not those loofahs in the medicine field, the gourd melons are better, and the growth is not so fierce; And the matsutake mushrooms in the medicine field are a lot old.

The yield of matsutake mushrooms is gradually decreasing, however, it must still be picked three times a day, once in the morning, noon and evening, and each time you can pick about four or five catties.

After a day's inactivity, all kinds of saplings also grew, and the ancient fern planted in the soil of the medicinal field grew about eight centimeters tall and about the thickness of an egg in diameter, and the thriving shoots were particularly cute.

Fruitful, fragrant flowers fill the space, a good pastoral scenery.

The scenery is so good, Le Yun is stunned, she hasn't seen space for almost a day, they are growing like crazy on her back, is this really good?

Wiping her sweat, she found the sickle, spread her feet and went straight to the medicine field, she had wanted to study the small stone that made her arm hot first, but now she had to take care of the medicine field crops first.

Cut lily seedlings, cut some flowering and non-flowering medicinal herbs, picked half of the dendrobium flowers, picked black tiger fruits, picked yam eggs, first harvested the medicinal herbs that urgently need treatment, and then picked matsutake mushrooms, pumpkins, watermelons, tomatoes, peppers......

The fastest student Le Xiao ran in and out of the medicine field, busy like a small spinning top, dripping and turning, the speed was really fast as the wind, fast as an arrow.

When she was too busy, Yan Shao also returned to the apartment, he drove back to the apartment building as soon as he left the champion building, returned to the dormitory, pushed the door open, the dormitory was empty, and people felt a little depressed.

Yan Xing's sadness lasted less than three seconds, put down his backpack, took out the stone sent by Xiao Lori from the compartment, strode into the washroom, helped it take a bath with toothpaste, scrubbed it with a toothbrush, brushed it clean, carried it back to the bedroom area, and took pictures from all angles with his mobile phone.

Take a picture, upload it to your computer, hide it in the most secret place, wrap two precious stones in a shirt and put it next to your pillow.

Thinking that he was going to eat at Lori after five o'clock, he didn't rub it, took clean clothes to take a shower, in order not to leave a little smell, he washed himself from head to toe twice, thinking that it was really impossible to leave the smell of sweat before stopping, washed the clothes and dried them outside, turned back to sit on the desk, and saw the moon cakes on the desk, and was stunned.

The moon cakes are issued by the school, he and Xiang Yang are soldiers, even if they are studying at Qingdao University, the treatment is naturally according to the soldiers' share, one person and one box of moon cakes, which is allocated by the Ministry of Defense to the school, and the school purchases moon cakes and distributes them to the soldiers in the school.

He and Xiang Yang have two boxes, one is issued by the school, and the other is issued to them by the school, and the copies are sent to the apartment management office by the work-study students, and he only brought him and Xiang Yang's shares back when he came back yesterday evening.

When he saw the moon cakes, he really realized the reality of the Mid-Autumn Festival that he wanted to deliberately forget.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Whether you want to face it or not, it always comes as scheduled every year, making people inescapable, where was he in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year? Last year, he spent the holiday with his grandmother and uncles at his grandmother's house, and he should have gone back to his grandfather's house this year, but he didn't want to go back there...... Don't want to......

After being silent for a while, Yan Xing picked up his mobile phone and called his grandfather, even if he didn't want to go back, the phone always had to be called.

Yan family

Yan Ming sat in his study, speechless for a long time at a slightly faded family portrait of a middle-aged and elderly couple, a young woman and a young child.

The surname Yan is also one of the native surnames in the capital, and a Yan family settled in the land of the current capital in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has since taken root and multiplied.

Yan Ming's parents are not rich and noble, nor are they considered poor families, they are probably rich peasant class, Yan Ming was born in the war years before the founding of the Republic, because the family is still able to get by, he has been studying in the school since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a young man of that generation.

As a young man of insight, he responded to the call of the country to join the army, and due to the needs of national construction, he served in several departments such as the Commune, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Mass Work, and the Militia Guard Department, and was later sent to the Ministry of Railways, and served in the Ministry of Railways until his retirement.

Yan Ming, one meter eight eight tall, tall and heroic when he was young, and an intellectual, quite a beautiful man's style, now he has passed the age of antiquity, his temples are white, and his weather-beaten face has also left traces of time.

At this moment, the old man wearing a short-sleeved breasted shirt in a Tang costume sat quietly at the desk, staring at the family photo in front of him, quiet like a statue.

The study is like a small bedroom, spacious and bright, with bookshelves on both sides, and a long wooden desk facing the window that is simple and thick, so you can sit in pairs and look out the window.

The curtains are half-hidden, and the light shines into the study through the half-covered screen window, illuminating a room, and the desk is empty with only a family photo frame, the four people in the frame are the three generations of the Yan family, the middle-aged couple is Yan Ming and the original partner He Ziqiong, and the young man is the only daughter of the two, Yan Feixia, Yan Feixia holds a two-year-old son.

Time does not stand still for anyone, the camera freezes time, so that the age of the photographer is fixed in those good years, when the middle-aged couple man is calm and capable, the woman is dignified and gentle, their daughter's young and beautiful face is full of loving mother's radiance, and the child smiles innocently.

Yan Ming, sitting at the table, folded his hands on the desk, staring at the family photo and falling into memory, at that time, he had a beloved wife and a beloved daughter and a little grandson, and had the most beautiful family, but two years later, his beloved daughter died of illness, and he and his beloved wife took back his grandson to raise him to comfort the pain of losing his daughter.

Later, he found a wife to make do with the warmth of the remnants, but he didn't want to have a stepwife, his grandson was no longer close to him, the He family complied with his beloved wife's last wishes, and sent the He family's little great-grandson to a closed school to study, from elementary school to high school to enter the military academy and then enter the army.

Even though he and his little grandson were separated from each other in those years, at least the child would come back every year for the New Year's holidays, but in the past few years, I don't know when his only little grandson rarely came back even on holidays, even if he came back every time.

When did the child become separated from him?

Looking at the only family photo that records the happy times, Yan Ming's heart is bitter, and his eyes are full of sadness, happiness is always so short-lived, his wife and daughter are gone, leaving him alone to guard this family, celebrating the New Year's holidays, looking forward to his grandson getting married early and continuing the incense, but he is looking forward to the gray hair, and what he is looking forward to is not the fact that the children and grandchildren are full, but the fact that the children go home less and less.

"Toot-"

The quiet can only hear the sound of the mobile phone vibrating in the place where I breathe, and the slight sound seems to disturb time, shattering the faint sadness of the room.

Yan Ming, who was immersed in the bitter taste, moved his eyes from the photo frame to the desk drawer, opened the drawer, and saw the mobile phone lying on a notepad, and the caller ID "Xiaolongbao" flashed into his eyes on the lit screen.

His eyes lit up with surprise, he grabbed his mobile phone to answer, and heard a beautiful voice that he missed - "Grandpa, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

The elegant voice entered his ears, and Yan Ming's heart became active: "Xiaolongbao, where are you?" Isn't it at your doorstep? ”

Dialed the phone, no one answered for half a minute, Yan Xing thought that his grandfather probably had something to do temporarily and could not listen to the phone, when he connected, he instinctively said holiday blessings in a soft voice, and when he heard and asked where he was, he paused: "Grandpa, I have a task, I won't go back to accompany you for the holiday, I have seen your other grandson Zhao Zongze today, they must go to accompany you to eat and admire the moon in the evening, you have a happy holiday......"

"......" until the end of the call, Yan Ming's heart was full of bitterness, holding the mobile phone in a daze, he didn't even know what he said, and he didn't quite remember what his grandson said, only the sentences "your other grandson Zhao Zongze" and "Accompany you to eat and admire the moon" were particularly clear, and they kept echoing and echoing in his mind......

His only grandson is also the only heir of the Yan family, and there is only one Xiaolongbao, where is the other grandson?

Suddenly, his heart was pricked by a needle, and after thinking about it, it seemed that since he acquiesced to the fact that Zhao Zongze's brothers and sisters were also grandsons, and acquiesced to those who called him grandfather, the number of times Xiaolongbao went home gradually decreased in turn.

The heart cone hurt, Yan Ming's eyes were sour in pain, tears flashed in his eyes, the hand holding the mobile phone became tighter and tighter, the whole body became tighter and tighter, and the green tendons on his old face loomed.

After a long time, his tense body slowly relaxed, softening like a paralyzed mud, and he relied on the back of the chair to support his weight.

His breathing changed from stagnant to rapid, his face changed rapidly, and it took a long time before he slowly calmed down, a pair of big hands trembled a little, picked up the family portrait on the table and locked it in the drawer, took the key to open another drawer, took a few things, took out a black satchel from the cabinet under the bookcase, put the things in it, went back to the bedroom, took a cane, and went downstairs.

Aunt Jin, the nanny of the Yan family, was cleaning up the evening's dishes in the kitchen, heard the sound of the stairs, trotted to the living room, and sure enough, she saw the old gentleman coming downstairs, and laughed happily: "Sir, are you okay with your lunch break?" If you want to eat something, I'll go and heat it up. ”

Aunt Jin has been a nanny in Yan's house for many years, and has always called the owner of the Yan family Mr., in her forties, with short hair, diligent and hearty hands and feet, she is a native of Qin Province, and she once entered Beijing as a nanny because of laid-off personnel, and the supervisor eats, and the health of the family has a part-time worker.

Yan Ming, who hadn't finished walking the stairs yet, looked at the empty house, and couldn't help frowning: "What about people?" ”

"This morning, Young Master Zhao, Miss Zhao's brothers and sisters came over and accompanied my wife out to the mall, sir, you are in the study, I didn't dare to disturb you." Aunt Kim reports on his wife's whereabouts.

"Oh," Yan Ming let out a faint sigh, suddenly remembered something, and was very surprised: "Oh, Xiaojin, why haven't you gone home yet?" Didn't you say that you were given a holiday this year? ”

"......" Aunt Jin hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Sir, Mrs. said that Young Master Zhao and Miss Zhao came to accompany Mr. to enjoy the moon tonight, let me stay and do some housework first, and then give me a few days off." ”

"Don't worry about that, you pack up and catch the subway home to reunite with the children." Yan Ming's hand on crutches clenched.

"This, it's not proper, my wife will be angry, I don't care if I stay, I can go home another day." Aunt Jin didn't dare to comply.

"There's nothing wrong with it, you were invited by me, I said that you will have a holiday, go and clean up immediately, go out to catch the car together, I also want to go to my old friends, they probably won't come back tonight, what is the point of you staying alone to guard a big house, deserted."

"This ......" Aunt Jin looked at the old gentleman, only to find that the old gentleman was carrying a satchel, he really wanted to go out, homesickness overcame reason, she rushed to the kitchen, stuffed some things into the refrigerator, briefly cleaned up and ran back to the nanny's room, changed clothes, and took the duffel bag.

Asked the nanny to get the luggage, Yan Ming sat in the living room and waited, and when he saw Aunt Jin tidying up, he nodded his satisfaction, got up on crutches, locked the door and left the house together.

He is a retired cadre of the railway, living in the family dormitory area of the Ministry of Railways, there are many retired railway cadres and family members of the older generation like him in the whole district, and the old people are often seen strolling on the road in the dormitory area.

Aunt Jin accompanied the old gentleman out of the dormitory area, sent the old gentleman on the bus, and she went to the subway station first.

When Yan Lao answered his grandson's call and fell into inexplicable grief, Yan Xing, who called his grandfather, also stared at the air for a while, quickly cleaned up his mood, and called to greet his grandmother and uncles, cousins, aunts and cousins in unison.

After making phone calls for more than 40 minutes, the phone was running out of power, he charged the phone, got on the computer, and hurried to deal with the work.

Yan Shao was worried about eating, and he couldn't sit still until ten o'clock at five, and he wanted to run away with a box of moon cakes, but he didn't feel at ease when he thought about it, so he stuffed the Mid-Autumn Festival gift given by Xiao Lori into his backpack with moon cakes, put on sunglasses, and left the dormitory downstairs.

He drove the car, went to the street of life again, walked around the fruit store, bought fruits, twisted the gifts that he also felt shabby, and secretly went to the little Lori dormitory as a guest.

It took about 40 minutes to finally harvest all the medicinal herbs and fruits and vegetables, and even a few old pumpkins were picked off, growing for more than half a month.

After dealing with the work, I was so tired that I was sweating, I sat on the Lingshi ridge table outside the medicine field and took a few breaths, killed two black tiger fruits to replenish my strength, and looked at the time again, it's almost five o'clock!

She was afraid that Handsome Yan would come to the dormitory early, and she wouldn't have time to study the stones, so she flashed out of the space, returned to the dormitory, and went to take a shower and wash clothes like a wind.

Drying the clothes on the balcony, while Yan Shuai had not yet come, Le Yun ran to the pile of vegetables he bought, selected the dishes to be burned at night, decisively transferred half of the package, took it to the kitchen, and then opened the refrigerator and proposed that the pig's hands have been washed with water, cut into pieces, drained the blood, and took a few medicinal materials and pig's trotters to discharge them in a casserole.

The pork ribs can be boiled for 40 minutes, and the pig's trotters must be boiled for at least 70 minutes to be hot enough.

I boiled pig's trotter soup in the pot, looked at the time, just after 5:15, it was still early, sat in front of the desk, and turned on my mobile phone.

Turn on the phone and log on QQ、WeChat,So,The information is like mushrooms after a rain,Whizzing out,Prompt sound in a series,It's as good as playing music。

"......" Le Yun grinned and stole fun, there are private information and group information, private information is small belly, Brother Chao, Brother Li, Senior Chen, Senior Cai, the group is a military training class group, on the way back to Beijing in the morning, she was idle and chatted with everyone for a while, chatting and chatting about the almost out of battery, and also said hello in advance, and then chatted so that the mobile phone automatically turned off.

At this time, everyone has their own things, she doesn't reply to messages or bubble, she turns on the phone and lets her phone lie down to sleep, moves the medical books she picked up back back to the bedroom, stacks them in the book compartment of the small writing desk, and then moves the antique objects on the living room floor that are still on the floor to the writing desk, in case they are trampled on by the passer.

Remove your treasure, wash your hands and wash rice, wash the rice water in a washbasin, connect the power supply to cook rice, bring the rice water to the writing desk, and soak the inkstone, incense burner, pipe, candlestick and some small stones that have not been washed in the water.

She had just sunk the last small stone into the water, the door was gently pushed open, Le Yun looked sideways, and saw that Yan Shuai Guy pushed the door open with one hand, and squeezed half of his body with a large bag in the other, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Yan Shuai Brother, my refrigerator can't fit anymore, okay?" ”

Yan Xing, who leaned in, saw Xiao Loli squatting at the desk diagonally facing the door, and was a little embarrassed: "This ...... It's not a dish, it's a fruit. ”

He went shopping for a street of life, went straight to the champion building, climbed to the fourth floor in one breath, and saw that the door was not locked, leaving a trace of cracks, and he was very happy, and the little Lori helped him keep the door.

On the way here, he was in a passionate mood, and when he saw the pink little Lori, he became inexplicably restrained.

"Handsome Brother Yan, you don't have to buy fruit in the future, I can't eat it alone, it's a waste of waste." No matter how you look at the things that Brother Yan Shuai mentioned, she said that she was so sad, the first few times he bought fruits with Brother Liu and Brother Li, she secretly twisted some of the fruits that she shared with the classmates in the military training class to successfully kill them, and he bought so much, she had to twist the rhythm of sharing with her partners.

"Hmm." Yan Xing gently responded to the situation, carried things into the door, closed the door again, sent the fruit to the writing desk to put it down, took out the moon cakes in the backpack, and put the front bag on the desk.

"Little Lori, are you cleaning antiques? I'm here to help. Lowering his eyes, he saw some corners and edges exposed in the rice washing basin, he secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, and little Lori wanted to stew in a pot?

"It's okay to help, take it gently, break me, don't blame me for withholding your dinner." Of course, it is a shame to have a free cleaner, and it is a shame to waste food, and it is equally shameful to waste labor.

"I must be like a treasure."

"It's a treasure."

"Got it."

Yan Xing nodded heavily, and almost patted his chest to ensure that everything was intact, in order to show his honesty, reliability, hard-working and ability.

When little Lori got up to give way, he went to the sanitary department to bring out a bucket and made a small half bucket of water, sat on the floor, picked up the brush that was set aside, and brushed the antiques in the basin.

There was a handsome guy who robbed the cleaner of the job, Le Yun went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables, shave off the skin of the loofah, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, and then cut the vegetables and put them on a plate for later use; Then I mentioned pork belly, pork liver, pork powder sausage, pork belly, and meat cleaning, and filtered blood water.

She handles the ingredients in the small kitchen in an orderly manner, he diligently scrubs the antiques in the small living room, the two of them do their own things, he occasionally looks up and peeps a few times, and sees the beautiful back of the little Lori, and he feels inexplicable.

The quiet time was shattered by a phone call, Yan Xing heard the phone ringing, and her first reaction was to look at the little Lori in the small kitchen, she didn't hear it, he quickly took a towel as a rag to wipe his hands, and took out the mobile phone, it seemed that the caller ID was actually grandpa, and his fingers were neatly pressed to answer: "Grandpa?" ”

"Little Dragon Treasure...... I...... I ......" On the side of the street, Yan Ming held his mobile phone and looked at a building from afar.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Yan Xing's heartstrings tightened suddenly.

"I ...... I'm in your school...... Outside the West Gate......" Yan Ming looked at the school across the street, his hand holding the mobile phone and his heart trembled slightly.

"......" Yan Xing subconsciously held his breath, and it took half a minute before he spoke, his voice a little stiff: "Grandpa, you wait there, I'll come right away." ”

He hung up the phone, clutched the phone tightly with his big hand, and tried to keep his voice steady: "Little Lori, I'...... My grandfather is here......"

What did his grandfather tell her about?

A string of lightning flashes through his mind, Le Yun put down the kitchen knife and jumped to the door of the small kitchen: "Do you want to say that your grandfather came to pick you up, and you won't eat?" ”

Yan Xing's arm tightened unconsciously against his leg, and his voice was slightly depressed: "I...... Don't want to go back if ...... My grandfather came out alone, can I ...... Come with him to eat at your place...... Rice ......"
