She's waiting for me there.

Chen Yun took out several gift boxes of different sizes from the car. These were the gift boxes reserved in advance for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The couple took it with smiles on their faces as they had never seen such exquisite things before.

After entering the hospital, Chen Yun kept smiling, but he was shocked in his heart. Is this the kind of environment in which these sisters grew up?

Looking around, there are only two houses in the yard, which are already dilapidated. The walls are no longer there, and only half of the red bricks are left in most places.

A few free-range chickens and ducks were walking aimlessly, leaving black marks on the ground and an unfriendly smell filled the air.

There were some farm tools scattered in the corner of the yard, covered in dust, and it was obvious that no one had used them for a long time.

Qingxue perhaps understood Chen Yun's thoughts, so she took his hand and said apologetically, "Hubby, I'll ask Mom to prepare Qing Ning's coming-of-age ceremony in a moment."

Chen Yun patted her tender hands and said, "Don't worry about my mood. No one comes back to stay for one day and then leaves. Go and keep Qing Ning company. She's not feeling well."

She had been talking to her parents and forgot about her sister for a moment. When she looked back, she found that Qingning had been keeping her head down, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Qing Anfu opened the door and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, I'm sorry to have wronged you. This place is too shabby. You..."

Chen Yun quickly waved his hand to interrupt him: "Dad, what's wrong with this? The place I usually live in is not necessarily much better than this."

After entering the house, Chen Yun wanted to take back what he had said.

To sum it up in one sentence, dirty and messy is not enough to describe this place. This is the scene after my father-in-law and mother-in-law cleaned it up.

Pots, pans, and utensils were scattered throughout the kitchen, some of which still bore traces of the previous meal.

There was only one window in the room, and a little sunlight came in, shining on the black ground, making the whole room seem dark and cramped.

The huge wardrobe was placed on the kang, and its original color could no longer be distinguished. Each door looked precarious, which reminded Chen Yun of the old house where he and Qingxue lived, but the environment was many times better than here.

Moreover, there is always an indescribable smell of decay in the house, which makes people feel a little heavy.

"Son-in-law, come in quickly, old woman, and take out the good tea you bought yesterday."

Chen Yun sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and almost spit it out. This tea was so different from the tea of ​​the top brother on the list.

However, he didn't take these things to heart. He didn't come back to enjoy himself this time.

Several people sat around in the room, and Zhang Guifang kept talking about how much she missed the two sisters. When she was moved, she even shed a few tears.

Perhaps due to preconceived notions, he did not have a very good impression of the two old men and did not feel anything when he heard these words.

Qingxue held her mother's hand, her eyes red, and she was very moved.

Qing Ning sat aside, watching the scene expressionlessly, turning his head to look elsewhere from time to time, as if he could hardly bear to listen any longer.

When she saw Chen Yun had the same expression, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not affected.

However, for the next few hours, Qing Ning stared at him in amazement, and finally understood why her sister admired Chen Yun.

Although he clearly disliked her parents, he was able to chat and laugh with them, and could answer any question with ease, making the couple opposite him laugh so hard that they couldn't stop.

After the meal, Chen Yun had already integrated into this family. At least, everyone except Qing Ning thought so.

"Dad, I haven't been home for a long time. Let Qingxue take me out for a walk." After drinking two glasses of white wine, Chen Yun couldn't stand the smell in the room.

Qing Anfu's face flushed from drinking, and he said vaguely, "Son-in-law, go ahead! When you come back in the evening, we can continue drinking together."

Chen Yun turned around and went out. Qing Ning was about to follow him out when Zhang Guifang said, "Qing Ning, don't go. Stay and talk to Mom for a while."

Qing Ning was stunned, and looked directly at Chen Yun, shaking her head slightly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"Mom, let Qing Ning come with me. It's not easy to come to such a beautiful place. Let her take some pictures of Qing Xue and me."

Chen Yun talked nonsense and without waiting for his mother-in-law to refuse, he pulled the two sisters out.

After leaving the yard, Qingxue said doubtfully, "Qingning won't be needed for taking photos, right? Let her go back and talk to her parents."

Chen Yun shook his head and didn't explain anything. People are like that. Unless something happens, they will always have some fantasy.

It can be seen that Qingxue is not confused about the facts, nor does she want to push her sister into the fire pit.

She just longed for family affection too much. No matter the customs of this mountain village or the personalities of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she had never enjoyed much pampering since she was a child.

So, now, just because her mother-in-law shed a few tears, she mistakenly believed that it was the family love that she would never get, and she also wanted her sister to enjoy this feeling that she had never had before.

Chen Yun sneered in his heart. He had heard Qing Ning talk about how the couple usually treated the two sisters.

In order to prevent Qingxue from being too sad, he came back in a luxury car with gifts, making a huge fuss.

This is to delay the father-in-law and mother-in-law from revealing their true colors. After all, with their character, how could they offend a rich and powerful son-in-law?

If Chen Yun was just a poor boy, the couple's attitude would have taken a sharp turn for the worse the moment they saw Qing Ning.

"Come on, accompany me for a walk, and when we come back, let Qingning accompany the two elders." Chen Yun walked forward slowly.

It was already afternoon, and the countryside was not as noisy as the city. Even the breeze was a little cool.

On the way, he would occasionally see villagers sitting at their doorsteps. Chen Yun would greet them with a smile regardless of whether he knew them or not.

The villagers laughed when they saw Chen Yun, and even pulled him aside to chat about some family matters. After all, who could refuse a local tycoon who gave gifts everywhere? Maybe he would even take out a stack of money and throw it in their faces.

Of course, Chen Yun was not that stupid. He just wanted to get acquainted with them so that the subsequent plans could be completed smoothly.

After leaving the village, the three of them walked to a stream, and Chen Yun sat on a big rock.

Looking at the lush trees and endless fields around me, I couldn't help but feel refreshed: "It wouldn't be bad to live in a place like this when I'm old. At least I can live a few more years."

Qingxue laughed sweetly, "With your personality, you won't be able to stay here for more than a few days. You'll probably start clamoring to go back. You're used to the bustling city, so how can you get used to the silence here?"

"Didn't you also grow up here?" Chen Yun came close to Qingxue and said mysteriously, "Is there any secret base or something like that? Take me to see it."

The two sisters looked at each other, their eyes curved into crescent shapes: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the secret base of Qing Ning and me. It may no longer exist."

Qing Ning shook her head: "Yes, definitely." Her voice was so soft, so soft that only she could hear it, as if she was confirming something irreversible.

Chen Yun just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be true, and he immediately became interested.

Under Qingxue's guidance, after walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at a cave.

It is called a cave, but it is actually formed after a small hillside collapsed. From the outside, it looks like a small house built with several large stones.

Qingxue smiled and said, "This is it. Go in slowly, the entrance is too small."
