Before dawn was dawn in the morning of the third year of junior high school, Xie Zheng and his grandfather went out to take a bus.

At this time, there are already many young people waiting for the bus at the entrance of the village. They all want to visit relatives. The rule here is to see the aunt in the third grade of junior high school and the uncle in the fourth grade of junior high school. As for father-in-law, they usually wait until the blood relatives at home have finished reading it before taking their wives to the father-in-law's house. This way, if the wife wants to stay at her parents' house for two days, if she visits early, she will not be able to stay for more because she goes to her relative's house to pay New Year's greetings later.

"Grandpa Jiang, where are you taking Xie Zheng?"

"We two are going out for a walk while our children are on vacation. Are you going to your aunt's house?"

"Yes, today I'll see my aunt and take the children over to show them."

As for Xu Ning getting up very early this morning and then working in the kitchen, she was going to make some food for Xie Zheng, and the things outside were not very reassuring.

Even if the people who open restaurants are not as tricky as those of later generations, Xu Ning should be worried in his opinion, after all, they are not as good as the ingredients in her space.

What she made for Xie Zheng was a scallion oil cake, which was naturally freshly squeezed peanut oil at home. The lard will solidify after the small oil cake is cooled, which can easily make people lose their appetite.

I made a lot of them, a total of twelve pieces. Even if they were cooled down, they could soak them in the soup when they were eating in the store, and the taste was still very good.

Then they used a small plastic bucket that had been washed in advance to fill the two of them with water in the space, and then carried it to the next door.

"Brother Zheng!" Seeing that the door of Jiangjia Street was open and the lights were on at home, Xu Ning walked in.

Gao Xiulan was sitting in the quilt watching TV at this time. When she heard Xu Ning's voice, she leaned over and shouted, "Ningning? Your Grandpa Jiang and Xie Zheng were just leaving, what's the matter?"

Leaving?

Xu Ning put his head in and glanced at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall. It was five minutes before departure, and it was enough time to walk past.

"Grandma Gao is fine. I just want to go and see Brother Zheng off. You can continue watching TV, I'll leave first."

"Hey, don't worry, there is still time." The old lady rubbed against the window and looked at Xu Ning outside.

Because it was quite dark outside, only a slender blurred figure was seen.

After walking out of the Jiang family, Xu Ning quickly walked towards the entrance of the village.

I saw a lot of people standing at the entrance of the village from afar, and the bus was coming from the other side of the road.

She ran forward quickly, "Brother Zheng?"

There are many people, and there are no street lights in the village, so it is impossible to see Xie Zheng at a glance, so I can only shout.

Xie Zheng turned around and saw Xu Ning running over, holding something in his hand.

"Why are you here?" Xie Zheng walked out of the crowd and looked at Xu Ning who was breathing slightly, "I left early, you don't have to send me away, it's not that I won't come back."

He felt it was a bit bad. He hadn't felt it before, but now he saw her and started missing her before he left.

Xu Ning stuffed the things in his hand into Xie Zheng's hand, "I'll bake the small oil cakes for you and Grandpa Jiang. You haven't eaten in the morning, so get in the car and eat them while they are hot. This is a bucket of water. I can't tell you clearly. In short, this water is worse than the water outside. You bring it on the way. If the oil cakes are cooled down later, you can go to the store to soak the vegetable soup. Those foods are not as safe as our family..."

Xie Zheng knew that the bus had stopped, and he heard his grandfather calling him, but he still didn't raise his foot. He smiled at the corner of his lips and listened to Xu Ning's nagging explanation.

This is the life he likes. Some people think about it when he goes out, but they start to worry about it before leaving. Now they even have the urge to pick her up and pack her up and take her away.

Xu Ning couldn't see through Xie Zheng's thoughts. When he saw the bus coming, he hurriedly pushed the next door to him, "Hurry up, the car is coming, get in the bus quickly, don't let others wait, go early and go back early."

"Yes." Xie Zheng held the still warm bag in his arms and turned his head to get into the car. The moment the car door was closed, he turned around and rushed to Xu Ning who was standing outside the car and said, "Don't forget to review your homework when you go back, I will take the exam for you when I come back."

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment before nodding and laughing: "I understand, I'll wait for you."

Xie Zheng was so happy that he was happy because of these three words, but the conscience of heaven and earth, the "I'll wait for you" in Xu Ning's words are completely different from what he has in his mind.

The old man is old and he is traveling far away, so the young people in the village did not compete for the position with the elderly, and indirectly Xie Zheng also got a seat.

"The little girl Ningning is the same. What's the point of giving me?" The old man felt relieved, but complained, "It's better to sleep in the quilt for a while."

Xie Zheng smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll get up before four o'clock. I'll give us some oil cakes on the way, so grandpa will have one."

The two left early and did not let Gao Xiulan get up and cook. It was rare to sleep in the first lunar month. Besides, they had to wait for a while and could live in the city even if they went to the city.

When the old man heard that there was something to eat, he was not polite, "Okay, eat one."

When Xie Zheng opened the bag and unbuttoned the plastic bag inside, a fragrant smell suddenly filled the bus. There was no window in the car now. After all, it was the first month of the year, and the temperature was very low, so the smell was even more attractive at this time.

"What is this, it smells so good?"

"It's not so much. We drove the bus in the morning but didn't have a meal."

"Who is eating? It's so delicious, right?"

The passengers standing in the car started to talk.

After hearing this, the old man smiled and picked up a cake and handed it to the middle-aged man behind him, and said with a smile: "You all try it."

Xie Zheng actually wanted to refuse, but this was done by his little girl. He wanted to be more careful, but grandpa was so happy.

The simplicity of rural people is reflected in this. Since you take a bus, even if you don’t know each other, it’s a fate.

In fact, if it was made by my grandma, Xie Zheng wouldn't be so "stingy". Of course, he is not unhappy now, just a little reluctant.

There are many people in the car, and they will definitely come up one after another. One cake is not big, and Xu Ning can eat one meal, let alone these two men. If you want to eat enough for one meal, it is definitely not enough for two or three. Each car has one piece, and one person only has one or two bites. It’s really a taste.

However, the response was very high, and everyone praised it for its deliciousness.

Xie Zheng slowly ate the cake in his hand, even if there was an inexplicable smell in the bus, it did not affect his good mood.

Such an environment is still good. He encountered such a dirty and messy environment in his previous life. He had to go to all kinds of tasks and places. For national security, he never complained no matter how hard or tired he was.

The old man stopped eating a cake, took the small plastic bucket handed over by Xie Zheng, picked it up and drank it.

My wife is not here, so the old man is happy to say a few whispers to Xie Zheng.

"Ningning is a child who is well-behaved and sensible, and he will treat others well in the future."

Xie Zheng didn't say anything. He found that his grandfather was very good at getting into a trap. If his grandmother had definitely not talked to him like this.

He seemed to have determined that he was interested in Xu Ning.

What's going on with this affirmative tone?

The old man looked at the calm grandson beside him with insightful eyes, narrowed his muddy eyes and smiled, without continuing to test.

"Everyone said that a good girl asked for her. Ningning is still young. When you look at her in a few years, I'm afraid the Xu family will be lively."

"You are a stall to tell fortunes. You know everything in a few years." Xie Zheng complained.

"Grandpa ate more salt than you eat, so can you not tell this?" The old man snorted, "It's true that you are the grandson of the Xie family, but you are also the grandson of my Jiang family. Your great-grandfather also farmed in the countryside, and your grandparents have also planted the land. Xiaozheng, remember, you will always be the son of a farmer."

Xie Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, grandpa, I remember it all."

"Just remember. No matter what happens in this time, you can't think that Ningning's child is not worthy of you in his heart. If I really say that I think you are not worthy of Ningning. The child is smart and smart, and he looks so good at cooking. He is good at studying. He will definitely attend in the future."

"..." Xie Zheng swallowed his last bite of cake, "I am a toad in your heart?"

"What nonsense? You say I don't care about yourself, don't talk about me and your grandma." The old man whispered.

Xie Zheng was amused and stopped talking about anything afterwards.

Although his surname is Xie, his grandfather and grandmother are heroes among foreigners, he has never felt that he is superior because he grew up with his grandparents in the countryside since childhood.

On the contrary, Xie Zheng did not complain or feel sad because of the sacrifice of the elders of the Xie family, just because he is still the descendants of the Xie family and because of the elders' death. If he complained, wouldn't they die worthless?

What is superior to others?

Looking back infinitely, everything started with farming. What can the people in the city be above the top?

So since Jiang Jiahao wanted Xu Ning, he later abandoned her because of Xu Ning's identity, which is also a matter of morality.

His contract-like marriage with Chen Qianwen was lifeless, but Xie Zheng never met a second woman in his life, which was also his bottom line.

Animals can be in heat at will and get along at any time and anywhere. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can control their own desires.

Desire is a very subtle word. No matter how noble a person is, there is always this kind of emotion in his heart. Some people release it without reservation, and ultimately harm others and oneself. Some people press it firmly in the deepest part of many emotions. No matter how it wants to rush out of the fence, you can always imprison it with ease.

It’s not that he loves Chen Qianwen deeply, it’s just a matter of personal morality.

He also has desires. He used to hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. Now he wants to slowly cultivate his feelings with Xu Ning on the basis of the country will not conflict with each other.

The grandparents and grandchildren arrived in the imperial capital at around 4 pm the next day. They didn't walk fast on the way. Xie Zheng estimated his grandfather's health and did not want to let the old man run tiredly because of his relationship.

Outside a passenger station in the imperial capital, Xie Zheng and his grandfather came out and saw the black sedan that came to pick them up. It looked very ordinary and had no scent of ostentatiousness.

But you can't underestimate it, maybe this ordinary car is bulletproof.

"Grandpa Jiang, you have worked hard all the way." A young man with a gentle and elegant appearance standing next to the car stepped forward, greeted Mr. Jiang, looked at Xie Zheng and smiled, "You kid, have you grown taller again?"

"Brother Mo is, are you getting fat?" Xie Zheng saw the man in front of him. Although he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, he was not separated.

Yin Mo raised his hand and touched his face, "Impossible, how could I be the kind of person who can't even manage my own weight."

There were people coming and going outside the passenger station, but they didn't delay in the same place for too long. They quickly got on the bus and headed straight for Yin's house.

The old house of Xie Zheng's family is not far from the Yin family, which is the location of the front and back houses. However, it takes about twenty minutes to walk. However, when she was a child, Xie Zheng was still having fun with Yin Ke, the young master of the Yin family.

"Grandpa knows your temper. He has not prepared a banquet at night. We just sit together for a meal. Tomorrow we will go to worship Grandpa Xie together. Let Yin Ke take you everywhere for the rest of the day." Yin Mo sat in the passenger seat and turned to Xie Zheng and said, "Grandpa means that your house is always empty like this, it is not a solution. Although people often clean and no one lives, it is because they are not popular. Maybe they want you to come here to continue studying. Of course, Grandpa Jiang, you two elders must follow you, right?"

Mr. Jiang waved his hand, "I don't come, and I don't have to transfer. There are only one and a half years left in high school. Whether he can come here depends on his ability. By then, Xie Zheng will become an adult and can be his own master. His grandma and I still like to live in the village, and there are people talking."

This topic is actually mentioned every year, but Mr. Jiang refuses it every time, and Yin Mo doesn't expect him to agree.

"That's what I mean, too." Xie Zheng replied.

Turning his head and looking out the window, the imperial capital of the 1980s looked a little gray, as if it was a black-and-white movie from the old age, skipping past him little by little. Compared with the international metropolis where housing prices expanded in later generations, the international metropolis with rapid development and rapid housing prices were now like a newborn.

More than half an hour later, the car drove into a spacious alley, where three courtyards were located, among which the old man of the Yin family lived in the middle yard.
