If she remembered correctly, they had already eaten during the transfer, and she was still eating a snack.

Ruan Niannian was not confused about this matter. She stood up and cooperated with Pei Yuanzheng, "Okay, I heard that the food on the train is quite delicious, with meat."

The young couple walked hand in hand to the next carriage.

"What's going on?" After crossing the carriage, Ruan Niannian leaned against Pei Yuanzheng and asked in a low voice.

"Shh!"

It seemed like there was more to the story, so Ruan Niannian shut her mouth and pretended she didn't know anything. After all, she could ask after getting off the train.

The dinner on the train took a long time, until the enthusiastic attendant came over to remind them that the lights were about to be turned off, and then the two returned to the sleeper car.

It was quiet when they came back. The temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees. Neither the couple spoke. They quietly took off their coats and went back to bed to rest.

Ruan Niannian seemed to hear a knocking sound in her daze, ending with a single syllable.

Have they completed the connection?

What was strange the next day was that the girl in the middle bunk above Ruan Niannian didn't get up. She thought it was a bit strange. How could that girl, who was so lively, bear to stay in bed and not get up?

The uncle and aunt in the compartment also fell silent.

When she went to the toilet, she took a look and saw that there was no one in the cubicle. She thought that someone had got off the bus.

Ni Huihuang, who lived on the level above Pei Yuanzheng, came down to walk around. He ate some dry biscuits in the morning and bought a meal for 60 cents at noon.

When sitting on Pei Yuanzheng's bed, Ruan Niannian always felt that the two people sitting side by side were a bit similar, but for a moment she couldn't remember how.

The face is definitely not similar.

One is strong and resolute, while the other has soft facial lines and a bit of a masculine and feminine look.

Despite her delicate looks, she isn't very tall, only about 1.7 meters at most.

Ruan Niannian compared their heights and found that Pei Yuanzheng was actually half a head taller than her.

The train kept running along, passing one station after another. People got on and off the train, and this carriage was never fully occupied.

In the last few hours, no one else was on the train.

At five o'clock in the evening, they finally arrived at Suicheng Station, which was also the terminal. Pei Yuanzheng helped Ruan Niannian get off the train, one step at a time, holding her arms steadily.

The exit was crowded, but Ruan Niannian saw Ruan's father and mother, whom she hadn't seen for several months. Before she even hugged them, her eyes were already filled with tears.

Pei Yuanzheng must have called them in advance to inform them.

Ruan Niannian pursed her lips and threw herself into Ruan Niannian's arms, "Mom, wu...Mom, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You must be tired on the way. Hurry home and have dinner. Your elder sister is back today. She's cooking today. Do you miss your elder sister's cooking skills?"

Mother Ruan's voice was particularly gentle, and her warm palms stroked Ruan Niannian's back again and again. The gentle power slowly made her stop crying.

"Yes, I miss her very much. I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time."

Ruan's father, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her with concern, but he couldn't help but say with disdain, "You are so grown up, and you are crying when you see your mother? Where are your things? Hurry up and load them into the car and go home."

The last sentence was directed to Pei Yuanzheng.

Ruan Niannian rarely argued with him and only replied "I know". Pei Yuanzheng explained, "Dad, Mom, the stuff has been sent a few days in advance. It should arrive in two days."

"Um."

It wasn't long since he had been discharged from the army, so he shouldn't be unable to carry such a small thing. It seemed that he was considering his pregnant wife. Father Ruan was quite satisfied and waved his hand, asking the whole family to get in the car.

In the car, Ruan's mother told Ruan Nian Nian about what happened recently at home. "Your eldest brother has fallen in love with the girl he met before. Her family is also a dual-income family. After graduation, she became a teacher in the factory's primary school. Your eldest brother was promoted to a fourth-level worker this year, and his salary has increased a lot. Ask him to buy you something delicious later."

"Okay!" Ruan Niannian smiled happily.

The car was not driving fast, but the Ruan family was close, so they arrived soon.

With Mr. Ruan's father's level of status, he not only had a unit-allocated house in the factory, but he also bought a small house outside the factory for himself.

But Ruan Niannian was no longer the innocent girl she had been before going to the countryside. She keenly discovered that both her father and mother looked much more mature when they returned this time.

I don't know why, but she didn't bring it up directly.

When I got home, Brother Ruan had just returned from outside and bought some apples and longans.

"Longan?!" Ruan Niannian shouted in surprise, "Brother, you are so awesome! You actually managed to grab a longan!"

In previous years when she was still at home, her favorite food was longan, because longan was very precious, once the supply and marketing cooperative had stock, it would be sold out within an hour.

This time, Brother Ruan was successful and actually managed to grab the longan.

Brother Ruan smiled at her and said, "It's all for you, little greedy cat. I knew you were coming back, so I asked someone to wait for you to buy it. You should eat more."

"Okay, thank you, brother." Ruan Niannian smiled.

It feels so good to be thought of by family.

After entering the gate, Ruan Niannian realized that the yard at home was really big. The price of such a yard would skyrocket in a year or two, and in a few decades, the house price would become unaffordable for most people.

Surrounded by her parents, husband and eldest brother, Ruan Niannian trotted into the house and smelled the fragrance of food.

"Big sis! I'm back!"

Before she went to the countryside, her eldest sister doted on her the most. Every time she came back to her parents' home, she would buy her beautiful clothes and delicious snacks. When she had a quarrel with her father, it was her eldest sister who persuaded both sides and coaxed her patiently.

For Ruan Niannian, her eldest sister is probably her second mother.

Amid Ruan Niannian's shouts, a thin woman came out of the kitchen. Seeing Ruan Niannian, she couldn't hold back her tears, "Niannian, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

It was exactly the same thing that Ruan’s mother said when she first saw her.

"Sister, why have you lost so much weight?" Ruan Niannian's first thought was whether her brother-in-law was treating her badly.

But he denied it again.

When my eldest brother-in-law proposed to my eldest sister, he was so sincere. Besides, my eldest sister's wife is a very honest and kind person. There is no way she would treat my eldest sister badly.

When Ruan Sisi heard that Ruan Niannian cared about her the first time they met, she cried even harder.

In the end, it was Mother Ruan who calmed the two sisters down and asked everyone to eat. "Big brother, big brother, Nian Nian and Yuan Zheng are home, how can you let them stand like this? Is the food ready? If it is, serve it out quickly."

Brother Ruan and Ruan Sisi hurried into the kitchen to serve the dishes and rice. Then they heard the sound of wheels rolling. Ruan Niannian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was a wheelchair.
