Chapter 158 Return to the old house
Cheng Xi was waiting for Fang Ning outside the community, but he called her and asked her to cross the intersection of the old bus station and head towards Binjiang North Road. She was a little confused, but she still went there. From a distance, she saw Fang Ning waving her hand at the floating bridge, and a car was parked next to her.
"Where did you get the car?" Cheng Xi was a little confused. As far as she knew, Fang Ning's family had not bought a car yet.
Fang Ning grinned, "I borrowed it from Uncle Hai, how handsome it is!"
"Your uncle is really big." Cheng Xi directly ignored the last half of his words. He had known him for so long, and was already a little immune to his shamelessness.
Fang Ning opened the car door and let her sit in the secondary seat, entered the cab himself, and tied her seat belt.
"Can you drive?"
"Absolutely! Otherwise, how could I drive from the new district to the old street?" Fang Ning was full of confidence, but he turned the key car.
"Puff!" Turn off the engine.
Move again...
"Puff!" Turn off the engine again.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Cheng Xi smiled, "Why don't I go out to the river to have a breeze first, and call me when you move?"
Fang Ning had a dark face and moved again, and finally succeeded in the car. He thought to himself that Uncle Hai had bought the car for less than two years and had become like this. He was obviously not the one who cares about car maintenance.
“Where are we going?”
"Go to a place that no one else knows." Fang Ning smiled slightly.
"Yeah." She nodded and said, "Then I'll take a break, and you'll call me when you're here."
"Okay!" Fang Ning focused on driving. Soon, Cheng Xi fell asleep slightly on his head. During this period, he didn't sleep very much and didn't go out to relax. In fact, his body has reached a limit. If he goes down, it is very easy to drag down his body and fall into the root of the disease. Now, taking a rest and entering deep sleep will be beneficial to her.
When Cheng Xi woke up again, he was already in another place.
The road is a bit rugged, bumpy, nine-curve, winding, like climbing a mountain, but in fact it is really climbing a mountain.
"Have we reached where you said?"
"No, there is still a while, about a few minutes," Fang Ning drove past a farmhouse, and then climbed over a few hills to see the chimney of the village chief's house.
So Cheng Xi stopped talking and focused on looking at the backward scenery outside the car window. Although everything was deserted, the evergreen trees were endless here, which really subverted the sense of disorder that subverted the season.
"This is my hometown, Shanshu Village. I think you should have seen the reason for this name, too." Fang Ning pointed to the evergreen trees outside, lush and lush.
"Is this the place where you took me to relax?" Cheng Xi looked at the village more and more clearly, with green smoke and gurgling streams, which made the atmosphere of a peaceful village, but there was still no strangeness at the moment.
"You will know later." Fang Ning smiled slightly, drove the car directly up, drove to his ancestral home halfway up the mountain, and then stopped on the side of the road, and the two of them walked forward on foot.
An exquisite villa appeared in front of Cheng Xi. The wooden door was half-closed, black bricks and white tiles, horse head walls, dark blue colors. Outside the door was a fence made of bamboo, a pavilion covered with straw, a pool of clear water, a white dog lying lazily, and a child taking a bath on the bluestone steps. It was beautiful. Cheng Xi thought that if autumn came, it might be different and unique.
"This is where we lived when we were young, so I'll introduce it to you." Fang Ning proudly introduced every tiles in the manor, from pavilions and ponds to small bamboo baskets, making Cheng Xi feel more and more novel.
Big and Xiaomao took off their legs and was taking a shower. When he saw Fang Ning, he shouted into the room, "Mom and Dad, Brother Fang Ning is back!"
"Haha, two little guys who are not shy." Fang Ning called the two with a smile.
The young master Fang Quanfang came out of the main hall. When he saw Fang Ning coming back, he smiled and his eyes fell on Cheng Xi again. He was a little surprised and wondered why Fang Ning brought a little girl back. The smile on his face became more kind, "Fang Ning, is this your friend? Come in and sit in, it's cold outside, don't get cold."
The little grandma leaned her head in the kitchen and shrank back, probably going to wash her hands.
Fang Ning took Cheng Xi into my master's house.
His house had been emptied long ago, and even the door was locked tightly without a gap.
"My master, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, your little grandma is cooking." The young master cooked a pot of water and made tea for them.
Cheng Xi secretly looked at the things in the house and the people here. They were Fang Ning's relatives. In this way, it was equivalent to meeting the parents, which slightly touched her calm heart.
Fang Ning obviously saw Cheng Xi's little movements, but he didn't say it out loud and whispered, "My little grandma's craftsmanship is pretty good, but unfortunately Aunt Lan is not here anymore, otherwise we can taste better craftsmanship."
Cheng Yingrou's lips moved slightly, "But why isn't she here anymore?"
Fang Ning was helpless, "Because we were all gone, no one hired her anymore. My young master is a policeman, he has no time to run a store, his young grandma is illiterate and can't read the accounts, so she became what she is now... Fortunately, Mr. Zhuangzi and others are still very careful in maintaining it and have not been ruined."
"That's pretty good." Cheng Xishen felt the same way.
After drinking a little tea, my grandma also finished cooking. Three dishes and one soup were very simple and light, and it tasted like a side dish.
"Where people in the countryside do not cook well, they may be a little uncomfortable with eating." The little grandmother said restrainedly. She is the traditional woman in the countryside and has the patience of obedience in her bones.
"Try it!" Fang Ning took the first bite of tofu, and the taste was just right and the taste was light.
Cheng Xi also ate a piece of tofu, "It tastes delicious."
After eating this meal for half an hour, the main reason was that the young master asked Fang Ning about something, so Cheng Xi slowly ate the dishes and enjoyed the warm scene like a family.
"My uncle, it won't take long. Grandpa will call you to tell me."
"That's good." As soon as the young master put down the stone, he became worried about gains and losses. "What should I do if I can't do it well?"
Fang Ning had a black thread, and the young master came again.
After lunch and a little rest, Fang Ning took Cheng Xi to run around the mountains and fields. There are also winter scenery, and there are faint yellow flowers hidden in the dry vines, which is a bit unexpected surprise.
"This willow tree was planted by my father when he was a child. It has grown into a towering tree. When we were young, we weaved the willow branches into swing vines, and then we could play in front of us for a summer vacation!" Fang Ning patted the weeping willows beside the well. The leaves fell off, but the branches were still there, which gave us a glimpse of what kind of lush and towering scene should be in summer.
"It seems that your childhood is rich and colorful, I am so envious!" Cheng Xi thought of living in the countryside with her grandmother when she was a child, with only her sister and no one else, only her boring childhood.
