Chapter 31

I set off early in the morning after a hurried breakfast, flew over mountains, rivers, fields, and cities, and finally landed steadily at the airport of another city.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in this small northwest city, Ren Fusheng's phone rang just as he got off the plane.The airport in a small city doesn't have so many twists and turns, a group of people took their luggage and came out, Ren Fusheng answered the phone softly behind.

Huizi's father was waiting outside in the car, he probably didn't expect that there were other people besides his daughter's family, and after talking with Ren Fusheng, the family left first.Ren Fusheng hailed a taxi, reported the address smoothly, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Qin Chu's nervousness from early in the morning seemed to have not dissipated, he pursed his lips and stared at the strange street scene outside the window.

"Come back for the New Year?" The driver master broke the silence, speaking fluent and standard Mandarin, Ren Fusheng responded softly.

Qin Chu looked curiously at the ethnic minority uncle in front of him.

The driver chatted for a few words, but also saw the perfunctory attitude of the other party, then calmed down again, and turned on the radio in the car.

Finally driving to the urban area, the roads are spacious and clean, the streets are not crowded with traffic, pedestrians walk loosely in cold weather, and there are tall buildings on both sides.

"Grandma and grandpa are very easy to get along with." Ren Yuan, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said so.

Qin Chu turned his head and was startled for a moment, then nodded with a slight smile.

"If you have any discomfort in your leg, you must tell me."

Qin Chu nodded again.

After driving in the urban area for a while, the car entered the community and stopped in front of a building.There was a ruddy-faced old man standing at the door of the unit, and when he saw someone get off the car, he smiled and walked towards the trunk of the car.

Ren Fusheng hurriedly got out of the car: "Dad, it's so cold, why are you standing downstairs and waiting, if there's a traffic jam on the road, don't freeze for a while."

"Your mother was nagging anxiously at home, so I came down, too lazy to listen to her nagging." The uncle laughed and put the box on the ground.

"Hello, Grandpa." Ren Yuan greeted obediently, and Qin Chu said in a daze, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Why is Yuan'er so thin?" The uncle glanced over, and cast a reproachful glance at Ren Fusheng.

"That dad, this is Qin Chu. My colleague asked me to send him out to work, and the child was alone at home. He happened to be a classmate with Yuan'er again, so I wanted to bring him back for the New Year." Ren Fusheng grabbed Qin Chu's shoulder and introduced road.

"Okay, just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, it's okay. You can't let the child celebrate the New Year alone, let's go upstairs, don't freeze." The uncle walked at the end with the suitcase, entered the elevator, and looked over Qin Chu said for a while, "Just let it be your own home, don't hold back."

Qin Chu nodded obediently.

As soon as the elevator opened, the door opened at the same time. The aunt poked her head out, "It's you guys, come in quickly. Are you tired from the journey? Have you had lunch yet? I'll go get you some hot food."

"Mom, don't be so busy, the plane will not be squatting on the train for a while." Ren Fusheng put away his things, changed his shoes, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the kitchen to help.

Qin Chu followed Ren Yuan and sat down in the living room. The uncle made tea and poured it for the two.

In Qin Chu's memory, he had never experienced such a scene like this. When he got up unnaturally, he almost couldn't hold the dried fruit in his hand, and he didn't know whether to eat it or put it on the table.

"Grandpa, rest for a while, let's eat by ourselves." Ren Yuan put something on the table, took something and stuffed it in his mouth, and Qin Chu immediately followed suit and took a bite.

Well, it's so sweet.

"This is jujube. I can't tell the name. My mother used to like to eat it."

Qin Chu nodded and carefully looked at the remaining half in his hand. It looked ordinary and didn't seem to want to eat it. He didn't expect it to taste like this.

The uncle was changing the TV channel, and he said cheerfully: "Xinjiang fruit is sweet, if you like it, eat more, and bring some back when the time comes."

While grandma was yelling to eat, the mother and daughter didn't know what they said in the kitchen, and they came out with the meal with joy on their faces.

The old couple watched TV, and the three of them ate around the dining table. There were also some home-cooked dishes on the table. In front of one of them was a large bowl of lamb chop soup, and the carrots and green onions were red and spicy.

"Is Qin Chu used to eating mutton? The ones here don't have such a strong smell. If you are not used to soup, you can just eat a la carte. The one fried with cumin should be fine." Ren Fusheng broke off half a steamed bun and followed his finger Refers to a dish that Qin Chu thought was fried pork with green peppers.

"Well... I can get used to it." Qin Chu took a sip, and the soup was delicious, and it did have a taste that he couldn't get used to for people who basically don't eat mutton on weekdays.

"If you really don't like it, you don't have to force it. Ren Yuan doesn't like it too much. Later, I will take you two to eat lamb kebabs, grilled lamb chops, or buy a roasted whole lamb. I also think that way. gone."

During a meal, grandma came to visit several times, chatting about household chores, and fearing that Qin Chu would not be full.Kindness is hard to come by, Qin Chu felt that he had never had such solid support in his life.

After the meal, Ren Fusheng chatted with the old man in the living room, and Ren Yuan also had enough to eat, so Qin Chu suggested that the two of them go downstairs for a walk.Ren Yuan thought that he had been on the plane for too long, and the reason for his leg injury was that Qin Chu had to lie down and rest. Qin Chu felt that it was not good to disturb his family and reminisced about the past, so he lay obediently on the bed.

Ren Yuan sat in the living room for a while and came in with the quilt in his arms.

Qin Chu suddenly realized a problem. This is an ordinary house of more than 100 square meters with three bedrooms and two living rooms. There is one room for the old man and one room for Aunt Ren. Then... he is sleeping with Ren Yuan!

Looking up, Ren Yuan covered the quilt and lay flat beside him. Qin Chu quickly moved in and asked hesitantly, "Ren Yuan, why don't I go out and find a hotel?"

Ren Yuan looked sideways at Qin Chu, but without answering, turned his face and closed his eyes.

Just when Qin Chu thought he was asleep, Ren Yuan said in a soft voice, "Just let me feel wronged and live here first, the old man can rest assured."

Perhaps Qin Chu was really tired, and accompanied by the faint numbness in his legs, he fell asleep in a daze.

Attracted by the smell of food, Yoyo woke up, the curtains were only half drawn, the window was dimly lit, and the place beside her was neatly covered with quilts, Qin Chu reached out and touched the quilt, which was still warm.

It's really unreal.

The door was gently pushed open. Ren Yuan was wearing dark blue home clothes, his hair still looked wet, and he opened his mouth one by one, with a soft voice: "Are you awake? Get up and eat."

"Well......"

This kind of life is really unreal.
