Chapter 119 I'm Afraid You'll Be Bored

evening.

In the yard.

In the summer, Ye Ningyu sat on the wooden bench made by her grandfather and looked at the smoke rising from other villagers' homes in the village.

I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

His grandmother's family is also in the countryside, but the countryside there has long been urbanized, unlike Ye Ningyu's hometown which is so "primitive".

Ye Ningyu and her grandmother talked about their experiences over the years in the house. In the summer, when they sat in the yard, they could hear Xiao Ye sobbing from time to time.

Grandpa took a handful of rice to feed the chickens in the yard, and then went to touch the eggs in the chicken coop.

Xia Tian took the initiative to step forward and picked up the axe next to the woodpile, and said politely:

"Grandpa, let me chop wood."

"Yeah... I want it."

Grandpa didn't say much, as he didn't want his guest Xia Tian to do any heavy work.

But Xia Tian started chopping without saying anything, and his technique didn't seem unfamiliar.

Only then did grandpa feel relieved.

But there was some doubt in his eyes.

This young man is obviously from a big city, how could he do this kind of country work?

"Grandpa, is your left eye having trouble seeing the road?"

"Nothing to do. I'm old."

"Does grandma have any other illnesses?"

"I'm in much better shape now... Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Xia Tian nodded, and had already started to think about whether he could find an opportunity to take Ye Ningyu's grandparents out for a physical examination.

As soon as he entered the yard, he noticed that his grandfather's left eye was a little hazy gray, obviously there was something wrong with his eyes.

After chopping wood for about ten minutes, Xiatian wiped the sweat from his forehead and stretched his waist.

I have to say, chopping wood is really tiring.

At this time, Xiao Ye also came out of the house with her grandmother.

Both of them had red eyes. It seemed that Xiao Ye had already told her grandmother about what happened after her family left Sichuan and Chongqing and came to Bei'an.

Grandma wiped her tears, the sadness in her eyes was clearly visible.

When my grandfather saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Both elders were very sad.

Three years ago, my daughter and son-in-law left their hometown with their precious granddaughter and have never been heard from since.

Three years later, the granddaughter returned with their daughter's ashes and also brought the news that their son-in-law had died long ago.

It is difficult for anyone to accept such a tragedy.

Although it was Ye Ningyu's father who acted on his own, this family, which originally had a promising future, became shattered.

But people have emotions after all, especially before Ye Wei became addicted to gambling, he was a very good son-in-law and father.

Grandma wiped her nose with a handkerchief and said to the public:

"Old man, catch it and kill it."

"Yes."

Grandpa nodded slightly, reached out and pulled a chicken out of the chicken coop.

Xia Tian saw it and immediately stopped him:

"Grandpa and grandma, please don't kill them. I don't eat chicken!"

"Xiaoyu hasn't been back for a long time. You have to accompany her back from such a long distance. You must kill her, you must kill her."

Grandpa carried the chicken and went to the kitchen.

Xia Tian glanced at Xiao Ye and winked at her quickly.

But Xiao Ye also shook his head at Xia Tian and said softly:

"Xia Tian, ​​you walked such a long way with me. Grandpa and grandma want to thank you. Let them kill them. I... I can buy two more."

"No, I'm not that pretentious. Just some porridge and pickles will do!"

But Ye Ningyu still did not stop her grandfather.

Seeing this, Xia Tian felt helpless.

My grandparents are still somewhat conservative in their thinking, especially in the mountain village, and the elderly of their generation all think so.

The family must never owe outsiders anything.

......

At dinner time in the evening, the four of them gathered around the wooden table.

Looking at the hot chicken in the summer makes me feel uncomfortable.

Grandpa was the first to pick up his chopsticks and put a chicken leg into Xiatian's bowl.

"Xiao Xia, Xiao Yu told us that you accompanied her all the way. You also helped with her mother's funeral. You are our benefactor, thank you."

"Grandma, please don't say that."

"Yes, yes..."

After dinner, Xiao Ye and her grandmother washed dishes in the kitchen.

Xia Tian wanted to go and help, but they firmly disagreed.

Even Xia Tian was not allowed to step into the kitchen.

Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, but no longer insisted.

He realized that the old people in this village were too conservative in their thinking.

When he was eating just now, he found that he and his grandfather were the first to pick up their chopsticks.

When they had almost finished eating, Grandma and Xiaoye picked up their chopsticks.

I guess it’s a taboo for them for men to enter the kitchen.

Xia Tian thought about it and took this opportunity to pick up an axe and chop wood in the yard.

Do as much as you can for your grandparents.

night.

Ye Ningyu cleaned up the empty house.

"Xia, Xia Tian, ​​you can sleep in this room tonight... No, it's not dirty. This is the room I slept in when I was a kid."

"Where do you sleep then?"

"I, I sleep in my parents' room, and my grandma sleeps with me at night."

Xia Tian was stunned.

I just realized that when Ye Ningyu was a child, her family of three lived with her grandparents.

So there are exactly three houses.

"Okay, so what do you want to do tomorrow?"

Little Leaf lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered, "Spend more time with grandpa and grandma, and help them with farm work."

"Then I'll help you."

"No, no need. I can do it alone. Um... Xia Tian, ​​when will you go back?"

Xia Tian lowered his eyes and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke.

"You don't like me being here?"

Ye Ningyu was anxious, and frantically fiddled with her hands to explain: "No, it's not. It's just that I feel there is nothing in the village, and there is no TV at home. I...I'm afraid you'll be bored."

"It's not boring. I've never lived in the mountains before. I think it's quite peaceful and pleasant here. I want to stay longer."

"Okay. Well, then if you feel bored, just tell me, okay?"

The moonlight shines on Ye Ningyu's flawless white skin, giving it a sense of exquisitely carved, solidified beauty.

The sadness in those peach blossom eyes didn't seem as strong as it had been a few days ago.

Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh.

Then he reached out and touched Ye Ningyu's hair, deliberately teasing:

"I'm bored, tell you. Will you play with me?"

"Well...I can give you my childhood toys to play with."

Xiao Ye's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly after saying this.

......

After lights out.

Lying on the kang in the summer, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, my heart is filled with mixed feelings.

Although he has been with Ye Ningyu since her mother passed away, he feels like he is in a God's perspective.

It was as if I was looking from a God’s perspective at the journey of Xiao Ye in her previous life after her mother’s death.

He wanted to help, but he felt like he didn't know where to start.

Before I knew it, summer fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

In summer, I was woken up by the noisy voices in the yard.

In a daze, he heard a very strong male voice, and it was very loud.

"I don't give a fuck, I just know that her old man owes us money!"
