After some twists and turns, Nie Ran finally returned to the county at around three o'clock in the afternoon, walked out of the high-speed rail station, found a small noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, and then took a taxi back to the countryside.

It was only when Nie Ran returned home that she realized that after leaving her hometown for a few years, the changes in the village had changed drastically.

Almost every household in the village has built two or three-story new buildings, and the village roads that turned to mud when it rained when we left have also been cemented. It seems that the village has developed well in recent years.

Under these changes visible to the naked eye, the dilapidated bungalow of the Nie family looked particularly shabby.

Nie Ran stood in front of the familiar house and looked at the yard that was overgrown with weeds. In a trance, he remembered the scene of playing in the yard when he was a child, and the reluctant eyes of his grandmother when he left.

"Yo, isn't this Nie Ran? You came back from the big city?"

Someone passing by recognized her and greeted her warmly.

Nie Ran turned to look at the person who came, with a sweet smile on her face, "Second Aunt, long time no see."

"It's really you. I haven't seen you for a few years and you've become more beautiful. Where's your grandma? Why didn't you come back with you?"

The second aunt is the neighbor's aunt next door. She used to have a good relationship with her grandma. Now when she saw Nie Ran came back, she asked her about the situation of the old lady.

The smile on Nie Ran's face faded slightly, "Grandma has already left, and I sent her back this time."

The second aunt was stunned, "Huh? Gone?"

Nie Ran nodded, "Second Aunt, I won't talk to you anymore, I haven't packed it since I just came back, so I'll talk to you after I clean it up."

"Okay, you can't start a fire at home just after you came back, so come to my second aunt's house for dinner tonight! I'll cook something delicious for you."

"Okay, thank you, Second Aunt."

After thanking his second aunt, Nie Ran started to tidy up the house.

She originally wanted to pack up and stay at home at night, but after packing up, she found that all the doors and windows in the house were lost because of the disrepair, and the north wind would blow cold, let alone staying at night, even during the day. Can't stay in the house.

It seems that tonight I can only stay at my second aunt's house for one night.

Nie Ran sighed, took out grandma's photo from her bag and placed it on the hall of the main room, then went to the small shop in the village to buy a stick of incense and candles to go back to light, and respectfully knelt down in front of grandma's portrait and kowtowed three times. Ring your head.

"Grandma, I brought you back, so you can reunite with grandpa in the future."

To be honest, Nie Ran didn't have a deep impression of her grandfather. When she was sent back, her grandfather was gone, but she could feel the old lady's feelings for her husband from her grandmother's words, which is why she came back this trip.

Nie Weimin was used to staying in big cities, and it was impossible for him to come back, otherwise he would not have chosen to bury his grandma in Jiangcheng.

After burning the incense, Nie Ran came to the second aunt's house with her suitcase.

"Second Aunt, I can't stay at home. Can I stay at your place tonight? I'll pay for it."

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? The family built a new house two years ago. Look, on the third floor, you can stay here for a week, not to mention staying for one night! You still need to talk to my second aunt. Money?"

Second Aunt smiled and pulled her into the room, "Wait, we'll be eating right away!"

"Thank you, Second Aunt."

Nie Ran didn't know until dinner that the eldest son of the second aunt's family had found a good job in a big city, the second girl was also going to college in Jincheng, and the second uncle was working part-time at the construction site, preparing to save money for his son to marry his daughter-in-law. I also earn tuition for my daughter.

"Second Aunt, why don't you go to the construction site with Second Uncle?" Nie Ran asked.

"That's not going to work. Who will take care of the house when we're all out? He'll work harder outside, and I can raise some chickens, ducks and pigs when I'm at home and take care of the house. I'll plant some land and grab it with both hands."

The second aunt said with a smile, and picked up a chicken leg for her when she was done, "Taste the chicken raised at home."

Nie Ran gratefully said thank you, and gnawed on the chicken leg.

After dinner, Nie Ran was taken to the guest room by her second aunt to rest.

In the small group, after reporting to Xia Rou and Gu Niannian that she was safe, Nie Ran called Mrs. Jing when she remembered Jing Yuting's condition.

"mom--"

Nie Ran stayed at her second aunt's house for a week.

She asked someone to make a tomb for her grandma, and simply repaired the old house.

Because the end of the year was approaching, during this period, the second girl and second uncle of the second aunt's family also came back from the big city. Nie Ran felt that it was not convenient for her to live in the second aunt's house again. After all, it affected others, so she offered to leave.

"Nie Ran, next time I come back, I will live with my second aunt."

The second aunt reluctantly sent Nie Ran out of the village.

"Okay." Nie Ran smiled and took out a thick envelope from his bag, "Second Aunt, this is just a small thing. I've disturbed you too much by staying at your house these few days. This should be my food expenses."

"You child, what do you need for food expenses? We are all neighbors, so you have such a status."

Although the second aunt refused, she still accepted the envelope with a smile.

"I don't care, you've cooked so many delicious things for me these days, it's too late for me to be grateful. Go back, I'm leaving."

Nie Ran smiled and hugged her, just as a bus from the village came, so she got on the bus with her luggage.

She plans to go to Changle Town next door.

In the past few years, Changle Town has developed scenic spots, which are said to be very interesting. Anyway, it is rare to come back, and Nie Ran plans to stop by for a few days.

When I arrived in Changle Town, Nie Ran rented an independent house with a yard in a B&B outside the scenic spot, and planned to live here.

It's winter right now, the temperature has dropped a lot these few days, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so the boss gave Nie Ran a huge discount and rented the house to her directly at a [-]% discount.

"Miss Nie, all the electrical appliances in this house are fully equipped. You can cook by yourself and make coffee. After all, you can use everything in the house. The weather forecast says that the cold wave will come in the afternoon, and you need to close it before going to bed at night. Keep doors and windows warm."

Before leaving, the boss made a very considerate confession.

"Thank you."

Nie Ran said thank you and sent the boss out.

The environment of the house is good. When you open the door, you can see the yard full of flowers and plants outside. From the window, you can even see the scenery in the scenic area.

After An settled and packed his luggage, Nie Ran walked around the B&B by himself.

In fact, there is nothing to go shopping. This season is not the peak season for tourism. There are very few tourists in the scenic area, which can almost be equated to no.

Nie Ran bought some snacks, bread and instant noodles outside and went back.

In the afternoon, the cold wave really came. The north wind blew straight and brought rain and snow, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Nie Ran leaned on the head of the bed to deal with the work sent by Gu Niannian.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the north wind became stronger, and the windows were creaked non-stop.

Nie Ran got up to check and closed the window more tightly.

Suddenly there were several knocks on the door, very hurried.

"Who?"

Nie Ran asked as he went to open the door, and was taken aback when he saw the figure appearing at the door——
