After expressing his thoughts clearly that day, Ning Lang politely sent Lin Zi out of the inn.Even if he understood that Lin Zi didn't mean anything malicious back then, and his apology today was sincere, he still didn't want to face Lin Zi, because whenever he saw him, he couldn't help but think of his hesitation and panic that day.

He wasn't a teenager wandering the streets anymore, he was a grown man, a normal human being, no different from anyone.

The days returned to the normal life, and Ning Lang found that although Ling Sheng hadn't done anything special in the past few days, it made his life a little different, so that when he became a While guarding the inn, watching the tourists come and go, he began to feel a little empty and lonely, and felt that he was not interested in anything.

One day Luo Yongning called, and when he heard Ning Lang's boring tone, he couldn't help laughing, "How about my brother take you to meet a girl at night, to relieve your emptiness and loneliness, what do you think?"

Ning Lang was speechless, and replied: "Do you think everyone is like you? Spiritually, I'm talking about spiritual emptiness, do you understand?"

Luo Yongning's smile was even worse: "I don't know about others, but you and I must know. With your courage to flirt with little girls, you can only pursue spiritual enrichment. Hey, to be honest. , Ning Lang, do you have any hidden illness? If so, you must tell me, our old man knows the dean of the city's first hospital, and he will definitely arrange the best doctor for you."

"I think you should go and have a look. You have been playing music every night since college, have you been drained?" After mocking Luo Yongning, Ning Lang seemed to be in a better mood. After thinking about it, he asked again : "You said the city's No. 1 hospital, the No. [-] civilian hospital in Tian'an City? Do you know the neurosurgery staff there?"

"Neurosurgery? What's wrong? You finally found out that you're mentally ill?" Luo Yongning asked suspiciously.

Ning Lang was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "It's okay, I think I may also be mentally ill."

"Maybe you just don't have time to go out to play recently, and you feel uncomfortable. The tourism festival should be over, when will you make an appointment and pamper the villain?" Luo Yongning joked with a smile.

Ning Lang glanced out of the window, the tourist festival is over, the guests in the inn are almost gone, the weather is getting colder, this time period, there will not be more tourists in the ancient town, "Let's see, I have to first I’m going home, the old man hasn’t seen me for a long time, if I don’t go back, I should call again.”

"Then when will you go back? I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I can just stay with you."

Ning Lang thought about it for a while, and replied: "Sure, come over in the afternoon, I have to visit my grandpa at noon, you know, I'll be back in a while."

"Damn, why did you go to see that old man again? Can you stay with him for more than 10 minutes since you were young? Every day you go to act as a filial grandson. It's not uncommon for you to be filial to others." Mentioning Ning Lang's grandfather, Luo Yongning couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "You wait for me, I'll go over now and accompany you to see his old man."

Hearing his aggressive tone on the phone, Ning Lang couldn't help laughing: "Well, I'll wait for you to go there together."

Luo Yongning's home is in the urban area, and he probably drove over after hanging up the phone. Within half an hour, the door of the inn had already been pushed open. Ning Lang peeped out the window and said, "You're pretty fast, then Cheng, I won’t drive if you drive, let’s go, by the way, let’s go to the supermarket and buy some fruit or something.”

Luo Yongning sat down in the yard slowly: "I'm godson, I haven't looked at it for a long time, I think about it very much, let's take it with me."

"What are you doing with it? It's not like you don't know, my grandfather doesn't like dogs the most." Ning Lang reached out and patted Luo Yongning's head, "If you want bear eggs, then you can stay with it at the inn."

"Does your grandpa not like dogs? He just doesn't like you. If this dog is your uncle's younger brother, what is his name? Ning what?" Luo Yongning frowned, thinking hard.

"Ning Ming."

"Yes, Ning Ming." Luo Yongning patted his thigh, "Look, if this is Ning Ming's dog, your grandpa likes it or not. I really don't know what's so good about your poor brother. Your grandpa has loved him since he was a child. Daddy, if your younger brother goes to the detention center in the future, it will be your grandfather's habit."

"Your brother has just entered the detention center." Ning Lang rolled his eyes, "You'll be gone later, don't talk, if you open your mouth, you will piss him off, I'm afraid my old man will kill me."

Ning Lang's grandfather lived with his old uncle in a village not far from the ancient town. Originally, their family had a large yard in the ancient town. It is said that it was an old house left by their ancestors. After getting married, Ning Lang's father carried forward the spirit of elder brothers being like fathers, and moved out of the old house with the family of three, looking for a place to live everywhere.

Ning Lang still remembers that when he was a child, he ran around with his parents.Dad didn't have a proper job at the time, and he was looking for a living everywhere, so Ning Lang could only wander along with him. Later, his grandfather couldn't stand it anymore, so he took Ning Lang by his side and brought him up single-handedly.

As for their old house, I heard that when he was not very old, the old uncle heard the news of getting rich from nowhere, so he just tricked his grandfather into selling the old house, and took the money to contract an orchard for the family to live in. to the village.

If the old house can be kept until now, in Xiashao Ancient Town, which has become a famous scenic spot, a large courtyard next to the commercial street, I am afraid that if the price is increased by ten times the original price, some people will grab their attention, right?

I don't know if the old man will regret it later so that he vomits blood.Thinking of this, Ning Lang couldn't help laughing.

Luo Yongning has always been lazy, and he doesn't mind the bumpy bluestone roads in the ancient town. Every time he comes here, he drives and stops at the entrance of Ninglang's house.Ning Lang felt lucky today, and directed him to drive the car to the supermarket first, and then lazily leaned against the co-pilot, Luo Yongning glanced at him, "Forget it, why don't you just get some fruit, you wait here, I'll go and buy."

Ning Lang also saved himself the trouble, waved his hand and let him go.

Within 3 minutes, Luo Yongning carried two boxes and threw them into the trunk. Ning Lang looked back and said, "Aren't you afraid that the fruits in boxes will be rotten inside?"

Luo Yongning started the car and said disdainfully: "If it's rotten, it's not your turn to eat it. When you went to his house when you were young, when would he be willing to bring you something delicious? I'd rather hide it until it rots, no Do you have to keep it for Ning Ming?"

Luo Yongning is telling the truth. Ning Lang remembers that when he was in high school, his grandfather celebrated his birthday. The whole family went to celebrate his birthday. All kinds of fruit drinks and nutritional products filled the room. He was also a little irritable that day, He casually unpacked the coke box, took a can and drank it. Later, when he wanted to get another bottle for his sister Ning Ran, he found that the coke box was empty.

He turned his head and found that his grandfather was stuffing a can of Coke into the big box next to the bed, then snapped the lid on and put a big lock on it.

Grandpa never drank these things, but Ning Ming liked to drink them.And that day, Ning Ming didn't rush back because he had to take tutoring in the third year of junior high school.

At that time, the conditions of Ning Lang's family were already good, and he was no longer interested in these things, but he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing his grandfather taking it for granted and showing no signs of inappropriateness.

He smiled, lowered his head and stroked Ning Ran's hair, and said, "Of course, if you drink this drink, brother, you won't grow taller. Will my brother take you out to buy fruit juice?"

Ning Ran was still a primary school student at that time, Ning Lang thought that she understood everything, she stared at her grandfather with Yuanyuan eyes for a while, then smiled sweetly at Ning Lang, "Okay."

Sometimes Ning Lang also wants to know what's so good about his poor younger brother, his grandfather spoiled him since he was a child.

He and Ning Ming are only two years apart, but his grandfather had completely different attitudes towards him and Ning Ming when he was young. When he was young, he would wonder if it was because he was not good enough, so he studied hard, was well-behaved and polite, and went up and down. The neighbors and folks in the next generation all praised him, but grandpa still didn't like him.

At that time, every one or two weeks, he would walk through most of the ancient town alone, go to the village to see his grandfather, watch his grandfather wash and wash Ning Ming, and watch Ning Ming lay in his grandfather's arms, rolling and wanting to eat. Snacks, drinks, and grandpa agreed with a smile.

Until one time under the scorching sun, when he was less than ten years old, he got a bit of heat stroke when he walked to his grandfather's house, but his grandfather still only casually said a few words to him, and hurried to buy it for Ning Ming, who was rolling all over the floor. Popsicles went.

That time Ning Lang returned to the ancient town crying. He remembered that his grandfather held him in his arms and coaxed him patiently. Wiped away his tears, comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, grandpa loves you."

From then on, Ning Lang never tried to please his grandfather again, he still went to visit as usual, brought some fruit, chatted casually, sat for a few minutes, and then left without nostalgia.

Because he finally understands that sometimes, others don't care about you, no matter how hard you work, it can't be changed.

In less than 5 minutes, the car arrived at the grandfather's house. Luo Yongning parked the car outside the gate and followed Ning Lang into the yard with a box of fruit. Then they found that Grandpa Ning Lang was sitting on a small bench in the yard. Can't stop looking out.

"Grandpa, I'm here." Ning Lang greeted, and together with Luo Yongning, he found a place to put the two boxes of fruit, and then pointed to Luo Yongning beside him, "This is my classmate, I used to play with me when I was young , do you remember?"

Grandpa raised his head, squinted his eyes and glanced at Luo Yongning, "I'm getting old, I can't remember. I'm not busy recently? Your dad just called and said you could come over in a few days."

Ning Lang let out a "hmm", feeling a little uncomfortable standing here talking to his grandfather sitting on the bench, and frowned, "It's noon, what are you doing sitting here? What about old uncles and aunts? Went to the orchard?"

"Well, I'm going to the orchard. It's not interesting to leave me alone, just sit here for a while." Grandpa raised his head, and Ning Lang and Luo Yongning stood beside him. He thought for a while, pressed his knees, and walked slowly Standing up quickly, "Come into the house, we're all stuck here."

The three of them entered the house. Grandpa Ning Lang smoked dry tobacco all the year round, and the whole house had a suffocating smell. He raised his eyebrows and endured it.

"Your small hotel is okay now? Let me tell you, your dad knows so many people, so it's easy to ask him to arrange a job for you. If you really can't, go to your dad's factory, and you can help me open such a You can't make much money, you might as well sell the yard, I heard from your uncle, that place is worth a lot of money now." Grandpa sat on the bed and lit a cigarette casually.

Ning Lang frowned tightly. Luo Yongning next to him opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Ning Lang held him down, "That's the yard left by my grandfather, I can't sell it." Ning Lang said in a low tone. Dan leaned against the wall and asked, "Where is Ning Ming, how is he doing recently?"

"Yesterday he called me and said that he was busy looking for an internship unit recently. If you want me to say your father, it's fine if you don't want to go to work. Obviously, you are going to do an internship in your junior year, and the school asked him to find a unit. He is a poor student. How can I find it, your father is an uncle, and he doesn't know how to do his best, so it's not for him to open his mouth." Speaking of this, Grandpa was a little dissatisfied, and flicked a cigarette ash beside the bed.

Hearing this, Luo Yongning couldn't help chuckling, Ning Lang pinched him, but couldn't make him shut up, "Grandpa Ning, look at what you said, if Uncle Ning could help, he wouldn't have Help, he is just a small factory manager who started from scratch, there are so many capable people in Tianan City, what can he say? I don’t know if he is the mayor of the old man.”

Grandpa looked up at Ning Lang with some displeasure, "That won't work, just arrange a place for Mingming in the factory, other places, your father's decision doesn't count, and your own factory doesn't count?"

Ning Lang felt that the patience he had cultivated with his grandfather for many years was about to disappear at this moment. He smiled hard and replied: "I heard that the factory is recruiting workshop workers recently. If Ning Ming wants to go, I will Let him go."

"Being a small boss yourself, let your brother suffer hardships in the workshop." Grandpa pointed to Ning Lang, "If you really live well, you don't want others to have a better life. Your father is the same. He became the factory manager himself, and let his brother Working hard in the orchard."

Ning Lang looked down at his watch, and felt that 10 minutes should be almost up. He didn't want to stay here for an extra minute today. He was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, he wouldn't be able to help but explode. Love, but he couldn't stand him doing this to his father.

He turned his head and glanced at Luo Yongning, then turned around and said, "Grandpa, no one is looking at my inn right now, I'm rushing back, if you need anything, just call me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out without looking back, and sat in the car. Luo Yongning closed the door with a bang, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then said to Ning Lang: "This is the second time I have had close contact with you." You bastard grandpa, I really don't understand, it's just...how did you manage to care on time and give money and gifts?"

Ning Lang took out the cigarette case from Luo Yongning, lit one for himself, and watched the smoke slowly spread in front of him, before he said: "I think, if one day, he dies, I won't He will feel sad, but my father will, he will feel that he has not taken good care of him, and he will regret it. My father is so old, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it, so, just to make my father happy, I have to be on time To pretend to be a grandson, it's as simple as that."
