Boom, boom...

The train roared along, and large tracts of gray-green fields passed through the windows.

Lu Yan was sitting by the window, holding a book in her hand.

Her eyes stopped on the lines of words, but she didn't read a single word. There was a feeling of confusion in her mind, as if she had just woken up.

Where is this?

What is she going to do?

Before she could recover, an aunt next to her touched her arm and said with a smile, "Young lady, eat a pear, I've washed it!"

A freshly washed pear was handed over. Lu Yan quickly refused, "No, I won't eat it..."

"You're welcome, I grew this at home, it's so sweet!"

The aunt couldn't help but put the pears into her hands, and said enthusiastically, "You look like a girl from a big city. Why are you going out alone? Your family can't trust such a beautiful girl like you to come out?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "My home is right here. I'm back to see my grandparents..."

As soon as Lu Yan told this aunt, she suddenly remembered.

Yes, this was her first year off after graduating from college and she came back to visit her grandparents while happily carrying a lot of things.

Her hometown is a remote town at the junction of the north and the south. It is now the Spring Festival travel period, and the train is full of people.

Accompanied by the clanging sound of the green train, people's laughter and the smell of various foods are intertwined.

It was obviously a lively scene of fireworks, but it always gave her an unreal sense of trance.

The long car ride was very boring, but fortunately the aunt in the next seat was very talkative. Lu Yan was almost forced to chat with her all the way, and the confusion in her mind gradually disappeared.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the station. Lu Yan shivered from the cold when she got off the train.

She got on the bus back to the village again.

In winter, everything is desolate and silent. All that passes outside the car window are gray-green trees and dry, hard land!

Several more clips suddenly flashed through Lu Yan's mind, including large expanses of green, trees as tall as piercing the sky, branches and leaves as lush as umbrellas, people busy on the trees like ants...

"Shijiawan has arrived, does anyone want to get off the bus?"

The steward's voice interrupted her.

"I, I want to get off the car! Stop!" Lu Yan responded hurriedly.

By the time she dragged her heavy suitcase down and stumbled all the way back to the remote village, it was already dark.

She was walking on the familiar path at the entrance of the village, and immediately saw a familiar figure standing at the intersection in front of her.

A thin old man was looking forward to this side, her white hair messed up by the wind. It was obvious that she had been waiting for who knows how long.

A huge sour feeling suddenly hit her heart, and the deep longing in Lu Yan's heart made her burst into tears in an instant!

She blurted out, "Grandma!"

The old man looked up and saw her, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he shouted tremblingly at her, "Ayan? Is that Yan?"

"It's me! Grandma, I'm back!"

Lu Yan rushed over desperately and hugged the thin old lady into her arms.

Her tears couldn't stop flowing, and the huge sadness in her heart and the longing that she hadn't seen him again for a long time seemed to overwhelm her whole body.

The old lady hugged her beloved granddaughter and almost squinted her eyes with a smile.

He patted her and said, "Okay, okay, you are such a big girl and you are still acting like a baby, and you are not afraid of people laughing at you! Go home quickly, are you freezing? Look at the ice on your hands..."

She put her hands into her arms, her warm palms keeping them close to her.

"Let's go home. Your father has already made your favorite croquettes and fish stew at home. By the way, how is your job? Are you tired from work..."

"I'm not tired. The leaders of the unit take good care of us..."

Lu Yan's heart had long been filled with a huge, solid and warm happiness.

She supported the little old lady, and the grandfather and grandson walked slowly back to the familiar little courtyard where she grew up while chatting.

The courtyard was covered by a big banyan tree, and an old man with white hair was already waiting at the door.

The old couple welcomed her in enthusiastically.

Looking at the familiar bricks and tiles inside, Lu Yan couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.

She was brought up by her grandparents when she was a child. Her parents were "working on their careers" away from home when she was a child, and her grandparents have always taken good care of her.

When she was a little older, her parents gave birth to younger siblings, and she was abandoned in her hometown without anyone caring about her.

But Lu Yan did not feel unhappy when she was a child. Her grandparents gave her all the love they could.

Later, she went to college and stayed in the city to work, and rarely came back here.

But grandpa and grandma kept everything in the house as it was when she was there, especially her bedroom. Although no one slept in it, it was cleaned spotlessly every day.

It was quite lively at night.

The old couple greeted her warmly. Her grandfather had already stewed ribs and meatballs for her. They were the newly killed New Year pigs at home.

But no one can move until she comes back.

Grandma had already made dumplings for her, and the family of three finished the meal in a lively manner.

At night, Lu Yan pestered her to sleep with her. She cuddled up to her side like she had done when she was little.

The grandfather and grandson kept chatting, and Lu Yan told her grandma about her life in the city and interesting things at work.

He also repeatedly said that he wanted to take his grandpa and grandma to the city to enjoy the happiness.

No matter what she said, the old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, "Okay, okay."

She patted and coaxed her like a child, and Lu Yan fell asleep in such great happiness.

As for some strange fragments that flashed through her mind from time to time, she had long forgotten them!

As for the many fantasy scenes, she felt that she had probably watched too many movies.

Starting from the second day, there were more people at home.

The village is very lively during the Chinese New Year. Relatives visit each other. When they see her, they all praise her, "Hey, our little A-yan has become more lively. Have you found someone yet?"

"Ayan, is it hard to work hard in a big city? It's better to come back and let the third aunt find a good future for you..."

The people in the village were laughing and joking, but it was actually more of good-natured banter.

Lu Yan didn't mind either. On New Year's Eve, she made dumplings with her grandma and watched the Spring Festival Gala together.

In this way, the lively situation continued until the fifth day of the lunar month.

After the Chinese New Year, people working outside will gradually return to the city.

It was time for Lu Yan to leave. Grandma personally packed her things while secretly wiping her tears behind her back.

Lu Yan looked at it, feeling a sudden surge of reluctance in her heart.

And for some reason, she vaguely felt that after leaving, she would never see her grandpa and grandma again.

This will become the deepest sorrow and regret in her life!

Lu Yan blurted out, "Grandma, how about I leave? I want to stay with you and Grandpa..."

"Really?"

The old lady suddenly turned around and said with surprise, "You really don't want to leave?"

Lu Yan wanted to agree, but something seemed to be tugging on her mind, making her unable to open her mouth for a moment.

The old lady was happily minding her own business and said, "It's better to stay. I've long said you should stay. Why is a girl working outside? It's tiring and hard. It's better to stay and let your third uncle do the work." Find a good young wife for you..."

The wrinkles on the happy face of the old lady opposite seemed to relax.

However, Lu Yan watched her mouth open and close, and a huge sadness suddenly surged up.

Her grandma...is long gone after all!

There were tears in her eyes. When the old lady opposite came to pull her, she raised her hand and slapped it down without hesitation!

The scene in front of him shattered like a lens.

Lu Yan slapped Su Meng on the chest, and she flew away!
