After arriving, Li Ying and Ye An went to return the car and helped carry the luggage. The three of them followed Li Meimei into the small courtyard. The three of them, who were used to seeing high-rise buildings, looked at the small flat-floor building in front of them and became a little restrained.
"Go in, why are you standing still at the door?" Li Meimei held the child in her arms. Her skin was a little dark, but she could tell she was very enthusiastic.
"Children in the city have never seen a house like this, right? It's okay. I've cleaned it all. Come in. If you don't get used to it, I'll take you to the city later. The hotel there is not bad, but it's a bit far away."
"No, aunt, you misunderstood. We wanted to ask whether we need to change shoes." Ye Qingning explained quickly, and the two people behind nodded hurriedly.
The first time they entered the owner's house, they had to change their shoes first, so they didn't dare to walk in first.
"Harm! No, no, no, just come in first." Li Meimei's expression suddenly relaxed. She put the child down and pushed the three of them inside.
Ye An also walked in with his luggage at this time.
"Auntie, where can I put my luggage?" Ye An looked very casual.
"Just put it in the inner room."
Ye An didn't say anything and walked straight into the house. Compared with her casualness, the three of them were much more cramped. They didn't dare to look around and move while sitting on the chairs.
"What are you doing?" Ye An saw them sitting in rows when he came out and found it funny.
"It's my first time as a guest, so I'm nervous." Tang Tang said in a typical arrogant tone.
"Are you still nervous?" Ye An raised his eyebrows.
"Sister." The child ran over and grabbed Ye Qingning's clothes. His chubby little face thought of Xiaotuanzi, and his heart softened.
After she went abroad, she kept the matter secret. The second elder almost kicked Han Qingqiu out of the house. Fortunately, Youji Huaiyu reported the latest situation to the second elder on time, which stabilized the two of them. Ye Qingning also contacted her as soon as she woke up. Two old people.
"You are quite popular with children." Ye An poured water for Ye Qingning.
"Ning Ning has a calm and gentle personality. Even my cat with a bad temper can jump into her arms and stay in her arms when he sees Ning Ning." Tang Tang was not surprised.
"Logically speaking, you and Wawa should have met before. Why don't you think he's not familiar with you at all?" Qin Zimo started talking more as soon as he calmed down.
"Kid, I don't have much memory, not to mention we haven't seen each other for two years." Li Meimei patted Ye An on the shoulder with a look of relief on her face.
"When you won the award, your Uncle Li told me immediately. I also saw it on TV. It's good, it's good. Finally, you were not delayed and you are promising."
The three people who knew what Ye An had experienced before pursed their lips and said nothing.
"I won't dare to come back to see you until I win the prize." Ye An's expression was very gentle and rare in the capital. He rarely showed this expression even in front of Ye Shaohua and Jiang Lanxi.
All three of them could feel that Ye An was very relaxed here.
"My dear, it's getting late. Let's prepare the food first." Li Ying walked in slowly from outside.
Several people wanted to help, but Li Meimei rushed them to the yard to play with the children. There is no signal here. I thought it would be boring, but when I started playing, I started running, which was really fun.
"Still uncomfortable?" Ye An took a seat on the steps.
"Much better." Ye Qingning shook his head. It was connected to a large piece of grassland, and there were ponds and fields on the other side. You could still hear some elderly people talking in local dialects. It was very peaceful and peaceful.
"By the way, what happened to Huang Xiuli and the others?" Ye Qingning suddenly looked defensive, "They also live here, right?"
"You just realized it now."
Seeing Ye An still smiling, Ye Qingning felt that she was really big-hearted.
"Don't worry, she's still in jail and hasn't come out yet."
After the incident, Ye An went to Ye Qi and said that he wanted to meet Huang Xiuli.
After seeing her, she showed no mercy, picking up Huang Xiuli's painful head and poking her, and finally told her that her precious child was in an orphanage, which almost drove Huang Xiuli crazy, cursing a lot of swear words, Ye An was calm, but Ye Qi couldn't listen anymore and had someone pull her away.
"Orphanage? Shouldn't his father take care of him?"
"Him?" Ye An sneered, "He took the mistress to another city, and used the money dad gave them to go whoring. He was caught long ago."
Ye Qingning pursed her lips, showing no sympathy for their family.
"That's fine. Maybe it's a good thing that this child has left his parents." Ye An's eyes became dark. "At first he would hide some candies for me to eat. After Huang Xiuli found out, he told him that he couldn't give them to me. When he grew older, he became just like Huang Xiuli."
Ye Qingning suddenly thought of what happened when they were at the ski resort. At that time, Ye An mentioned things here for the first time.
The two of them fell into the hole together. They knew that the child had turned into the same person as Huang Xiuli, but they still wanted to believe that the child would call someone to save her. This was probably the most hopeful thing in their hearts.
Ye Qingning held Ye An's arm and leaned quietly on her shoulder. Ye An glanced at her, said nothing, and let her lean against him.
"Ye An, is there anything interesting around here?" Tang Tang ran back with excitement on his face, followed by Qin Zimo and Xiaowa.
Hearing this, Ye Qingning also blinked at her.
Ye An thought for a moment and pointed to the mountain not far away.
"The sunrise on that mountain is quite beautiful. The air here is very good, so you can see the stars clearly at night."
When they mentioned this, the three people's eyes lit up.
"We haven't watched the sunrise together for so long. There will definitely be fewer opportunities to go to college in the future. It's better to choose a different day. Let's go tonight!"
"I agree!" Ye Qingning raised his hands like a good child.
Qin Zimo whistled twice and looked very excited.
Young people are in their youth and are always particularly enthusiastic about such things.
"I'm going tonight, and when I come back tomorrow, I won't delay helping Coach Li and the others." Ye Qingning has not forgotten the most important task of this trip.
"The enemy."
Seeing how excited the three of them were, Ye An nodded. The matter was settled.
Knowing that the Westerners wanted to go up the mountain, Li Meimei also deliberately dug out the camping tents and pony poles that she planned to throw away and gave them to a few people. People in the village went up the mountain from time to time, so the road was easy to walk and the mountain was not particularly steep, so she didn’t say much. , just told them to pay more attention to safety.
Several people agreed one after another, and they had a lively meal. While eating, they also discussed buying some things to take with them and having a party all night long.
"By the way, auntie, grandma's tomb is on the mountainside, right?"
"Yes, do you want to pay your respects?"
"Um."
"Then I'll draw a picture for you later so you can find it easily."
The old man passed away in the middle of last year. He was free of illness and pain when he left. He also drank two large bowls of lean meat porridge at noon. In the afternoon, when Li Meimei wanted to push the old man to bask in the sun, she found that he was gone.
Originally, Li Meimei stayed here to take care of the old lady. Now that the old lady has left and the children have reached school age, she decided to follow Li Ying to the city.
"Where's the gym? Turn it off?" Ye An picked up some food for Ye Qingning. Unexpectedly, Li Meimei suddenly put down her chopsticks with an angry look on her face, scaring the three of them so much that they dared not move.
"I get angry when you talk about this!"
"Hey, why are you telling the children this?" Li Ying stopped him in time. Li Meimei reacted, opened her mouth, but said nothing, and finally picked up the chopsticks again.
"What happened?" Ye An also put down the bowl.
Li Meimei sighed, "You child can still remember the little kindness I received from my mother-in-law, and you still know to come back to see her. Her eldest son is better. The old lady has not even passed her first seven days, and she has been targeting her. The land of the gymnasium.”
As soon as the words came out, several people frowned.
Li Ying knew that Li Meimei was angry and no one could talk to her, so he let her go.
