The two of them chatted about their daily life on the road. The old lady's house was too far away. Qiao Wan estimated that they had walked for about two hours and even crossed a river by boat. By the time they got home, it was already dark.

"Girl, don't dislike it. My son-in-law has been saying that she wants to renovate the house for me, but I refuse. I'm already old and I don't know how long I'll live. What's the trouble? Why don't you keep the money and give it to me? Use it for your grandson to get a wife!”

Before the old lady poured water for Qiao Wan, she found a clean cloth and wiped the bowl clean.

Qiao Wan scanned around and found that it was indeed quite dilapidated. The brick and tile house, the fenced yard, and the furniture in the room looked old, with many of the paint peeling off.

"What about your son and his wife?"

The old man was silent.

Qiao Wan realized that she had asked the wrong question and hurriedly made amends, "I'm sorry, grandma, I don't know, um... where is the kitchen? Can I cook for you?"

The old woman sighed, "My son and wife... had an accident when they went out to work, and they are all gone!"

Although the old man said it calmly, her loneliness and pain were revealed in the corners of her eyes.

Qiao Wan felt very uncomfortable.

She is also a lonely person, with no father to love her and no mother to love her. Even so, it is not as painful as the grandmother who lost her child in old age.

She can still be so calm, which shows what kind of perseverance she has.

Qiao Wan admired this old woman from the bottom of her heart.

"By the way, we have been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name?"

"Grandma, my name is Qiao Wan, just call me Xiaowan!"

"Okay, okay, Xiaowan, right? That's a good name!" The old lady looked at Qiao Wan happily with a loving look, her eyes were full of love, "Oh, we from all over the country, also You can’t find a girl more beautiful than Xiaowan! Look at these eyes, look at this nose, and this skin, they are different from those in the countryside! "

Xiaowan wiped her face, feeling embarrassed at being praised.

"Grandma! I'm back!"

Suddenly a clear male voice disrupted their conversation.

"It's my grandson who's back!"

Qiao Wan was shocked, "You have a grandson?"

The old woman opened the door happily, and a young man stepped in. He put his backpack on and looked inside, "Grandma, are there guests at home?"

"You're the smart guy, come in quickly!"

They used the local dialect, and Qiao Wan didn't understand a word.

"Xiao Wan, let me introduce to you. This is my grandson, Ah Yao!" The old lady turned to introduce her grandson, "This is Xiao Wan. I was knocked down by someone in the town. She was the one who sent me back." , but she doesn’t understand our dialect, you can communicate with her in Chinese later!”

Qiao Wan: "???"

The old grandma asked her grandson to say hello to Qiao Wan, but she just nodded symbolically without saying a word and had no expression on her face, making her even colder than Shengye City.

One thing to say, this boy looked very village-like at first glance. He had dark skin and rough manners. He was wearing a coarse sleeveless sweatshirt and a pair of handmade cloth shoes. He was a typical country man.

But his eyes are exceptionally clear and spotless, and he has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like a down-to-earth and honest person.

The old lady stopped him, "Ah Yao, go grab a chicken and stew it for Xiaowan to eat later!"

Ah Yao glanced at Qiao Wan and said, "Grandma, that's for you to recuperate!"

The old woman's eyes widened, "Your grandma and I are already the same age. No matter how much we make up for it, we will never be young again. Miss Xiaowan saved me, so we know that the kindness has been repaid, so go quickly!"

"understood!"

"Grandma, what are you talking about again?" Qiao Wan asked curiously after Ah Yao went out.

Family members, who knows? I don’t understand how anxious others are when chatting.

Grandma smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You can rest for a while, or go to the yard to get some fresh air. I still have an empty room in my house, so don't mind it. I'll clean it up and let you sleep in it later!"

"Thank you grandma!"

Qiao Wan is not a picky person. Let alone the country room, it is just a chicken coop, and she can still sleep there.

As soon as the little girl came out, she was almost frightened by the chicken that suddenly flew over.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Ah Yao go up and push the little chicken to the ground, then raise the knife and drop it, without any hesitation, the little chicken received the box lunch.

Even though she was used to strong winds and waves, Qiao Wan was still stunned by this scene.

It's ruthless!

Ah Yao raised his eyes and glanced at her, then as if nothing happened, he took the burping chicken to the pool to deal with it.

Qiao Wan subconsciously touched her neck.

The air in the countryside is good, far away from the hustle and bustle, and it is definitely the best place to cultivate your body and soul.

After a while, puffs of thick smoke came.

The little girl choked and blushed.

It's broken. Could it be that there was a fire?

She immediately stood up, grabbed a basin and filled it with water from the water tank, and then looked for it in the direction of the thick smoke.

That’s it!

Wow!

The strange thing is that a basin of water poured out a person.

Qiao Wan was startled and took a closer look. It turned out to be the grandson of the old woman.

Ah Yao tore off his wet shirt and asked in the local dialect, "What are you doing?"

Although Qiao Wan didn't understand it, she could tell the meaning from his expression. She said she was very embarrassed, "Well, I'm sorry, I was putting out a fire. Who knew I would splash water all over you!"

Ah Yao exhaled speechlessly, this time in Chinese, "Please, I'm making a fire to cook, what are you putting out? Can you please stop causing trouble?"

Qiao Wan was petrified on the spot.

After hearing what happened, the old woman smiled like a toothless old woman, and her depressed mouth was particularly cute.

"Miss Xiao Wan, we all use firewood to cook here, and the smoke is really loud. It's not like your big cities, which are clean and hygienic!"

Qiao Wan clasped her fingers together, feeling even more shameless.

"Ayao, don't blame Miss Xiaowan. Those who don't know are not guilty. You are a man. When your clothes get wet, you just change them into new ones. If you scare the guests, I won't forgive you!"

With her grandma supporting Qiao Wan, Ah Yao didn't know what to say, so he shook off his wet clothes and went to change. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Qiao Wan.

It's hard to say what the look was, but it was definitely not angry or accusatory.

Because there was no time, Ah Yao finally made a bowl of noodles for Qiao Wan.

He put the bowl down and left without saying a word. Qiao Wan originally wanted to say thank you, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance.

I have never seen a boy who talks so little. Even if he is Shengyecheng, even if he is a bit aloof, he will at least quarrel with others.

I heard from the old lady that the noodles were handmade and thick without any additives. The taste was indeed different from the previous ones. Qiao Wan drank two bowls in one go.

After eating and drinking, she lay on the coarse quilt that her grandmother had changed, and soon fell asleep...
