There are not many people in Beijing this year.

Luo Ye took Ouyang Mingyue out to the mall.

Although there is no clear explanation yet, the lockdown of Seoul was just announced this morning, and few people are going out in other cities.

The big shopping malls that were once packed with people now only have a few scattered people buying things, and some people are even hoarding supplies.

It’s not the end of the world, why hoard supplies?

"Brother, this time it's really serious."

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Ouyang Mingyue’s little face was filled with surprise.

With Luo Ye's imagination, he has naturally imagined the end of the world. Soon, zombies will pour out from all directions and surround him and Mingyue.

Then he took Mingyue on a journey southwards, passing through layers of zombies, crossing cities one after another, looking for traces of his senior sister...

My name is Luo Ye, I’m 20 years old, and I’m a novelist. Just now…

Sorry, I'm off topic.

Luo Ye threw away the random thoughts in his mind and continued shopping in the mall with Ouyang Mingyue.

Although there are not as many people as usual, the most basic operations are still there and every store has employees.

As the saying goes, new clothes come with the new year.

Luo Ye bought a few beautiful dresses for Ouyang Mingyue, and a few suitable clothes for himself, then returned to the villa.

It was only noon at this time.

My uncle-in-law has been watching the news and has now advised everyone not to go out, even for this year's New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, calling on everyone to simplify the process.

Then I thought about what the coach said this morning that the school was going to delay the start of the semester.

The start date of school is to be determined.

You have to know that Jiangnan University is a public university, and the position of the president of Jiangnan University is not low.

Even the bald old man said that the start date of school is yet to be determined, which means it cannot be finished in a short time.

If that’s the case, if he returns to Jiangcheng after the New Year, will he still be able to go back?

The streets today are completely different from before.

Things that once had nothing to do with me have finally affected me here.

What will New Year’s Eve be like tomorrow?

Before lunch, Luo Ye saw Aunt Li Hui also bought a lot of ingredients and was putting them in the refrigerator. If you didn’t know, you would think they were preparing for winter like squirrels.

Luo Ye made a video call to the fairy senior.

This time, the background is no longer at home, but in a clothing store.

Seeing that the senior sister was wearing a mask and seemed to be busy with something, Luo Ye asked curiously: "What's wrong, senior sister?"

"Business has been slow recently, and there aren't many people here. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so my mom and I are going to pack up and close the store for a while, just in time for the holiday."

"That's it."

Indeed, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and no matter what, the shops should not continue to operate.

"Senior sister, please stay in Hangzhou. I will come to find you after the New Year."

"Ah."

Seeing that the senior was busy, Luo Ye said goodbye to her and hung up the phone.

Speaking of which, it’s been half a month since I came back, but I haven’t gone to see my grandfather yet.

Let's go check it out this afternoon.

Thinking of this, after dinner, Luo Ye drove to the military compound in the urban village.

My aunt and uncle did not accompany us, only Ouyang Mingyue followed.

Because she was too bored, she followed Luo Ye wherever he went.

The two came to the gate of the compound. Luo Ye took out the chess set that his grandfather gave him, then walked into the yard.

At this time, the elderly Grandpa Luo was sitting at the door, basking in the sun with empty eyes, as if he was in a daze.

Luo Ye had heard from his grandmother that his grandfather's Alzheimer's disease had improved a lot recently, but his reaction seemed to have become slower. He usually sat for an entire afternoon, and he would not respond to anyone except his grandmother.

But when he saw Luo Ye's figure appear in the yard, Grandpa Luo's attention suddenly focused. He looked in Luo Ye's direction, and his expression suddenly became peaceful.

"what……"

But his thinking was a little slow. He just opened his mouth but didn't know what sound he should make.

Hearing the old man's long-lost voice, Grandma Luo walked out of the house with her cane.

After seeing Luo Ye, she was also somewhat happy, and immediately showed a kind smile, saying: "I thought, no one responded when others called the old man, it turns out that Xiao Ye is back."

"Grandma, Grandpa's condition...is it getting worse or is it getting better?"

Seems a bit dazed.

"The doctor said he's getting better. He couldn't recognize people before and often mistook you for a soldier. Sometimes he thought he had just joined the army. He kept shouting the names of other comrades and talking nonsense all day. He's much better now."

Although Ouyang Mingyue had never seen these two elderly people, she was very sensible and held Grandma Luo's arm, and called out sweetly: "Hello, Grandma."

"What a pretty girl, Ono, this is..."

"This is Mingyue. She's my stepsister, I guess. She lives with my aunt and her family."

When Ouyang Mingyue heard the word "sister", there seemed to be light in her eyes.

When he looked at Luo Ye, his eyes were also filled with deep emotion.

"So it's Mingyue. I heard Man'er mention it. She also likes this child very much."

"Grandma, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

"Okay, Xiaoye, help the old man back. He's old, how come he's not afraid of the cold anymore?"

"Grandpa never seems to be afraid of the cold."

Luo Ye said as he helped Grandpa Luo up.

He has a very good physique and doesn't get sick easily. Even if he catches a cold, he usually recovers in a day or two. He may have inherited his grandfather and father's military physique.

"Xiao Ye, you didn't even tell me you were coming. I didn't prepare anything."

Hearing this, Luo Ye quickly said: "What is there to prepare? This is also my home. I am just going home. There is nothing to prepare. I am already very happy to see my grandparents."

"That's right. Xiao Ye is sensible, unlike Zhan Jun who is so disobedient. By the way, where is your girlfriend?"

"Fanfan didn't come this year. I'm going to go see her in a couple of days."

Because they are all family, Luo Ye will also call his family members by their senior’s nickname.

In this way, my family will unconsciously call me "Fanfan" when they address me in the future.

Seeing the chess that Luo Ye brought back, Grandma Luo sighed and said, "The old man is in this state, so I guess he won't be able to play chess with you."

Hearing this, Luo Ye also sighed and said, "It's okay, I'll go down with Mingyue."

"Huh? I can't."

"Chinese chess is very easy to learn."

For an entire afternoon, Luo Ye and Ouyang Mingyue were in the house, chatting with Grandma Luo.

Grandpa Luo was watching from the side without saying a word, as if he was very satisfied just by watching this scene.

At six o'clock in the evening, someone from the village came to deliver food.

Because Grandma Luo is old and no longer has the strength to cook, her three meals a day are taken care of by her neighbors.

After all, this was something my aunt had specifically asked the neighbor to do before she left last time.

My aunt wanted to take the two elderly people over, but they were unwilling.

Grandma Luo always felt that Chen Shaoman should not be troubled by this matter.

After all, Maner is his daughter-in-law's sister. It is not reasonable for him to trouble her to take care of him in his old age.

Ono is still in college, and she doesn't plan to trouble Ono even if he graduates from college.

This village is their roots and they have always stayed here, which is actually pretty good.

As long as others can come back and visit often, that's enough.
