The sky gradually darkened, and the wind made Jiang Xia feel cold. Lu Yuanting was like a stove that constantly radiated heat, and he was warm. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Jiang Xia subconsciously moved closer to Lu Yuanting.
Until Changishi Village appeared in the sight of the two people.
"Hey, isn't this Xia Xia?" There was an old lady sitting at the entrance of the village, picking vegetables in her hands. She looked up and her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Xia coming in a bicycle.
"Old Su, your granddaughter is here!" The person next to him shouted towards the village.
Every household in the countryside is familiar with each other, and everyone in the village can recognize them immediately. When Jiang Xia was a child, she would come to the village and live for a while, so everyone in the village knew her.
After the voice fell, Jiang Xia saw a little old man walking out of the village. Because of his age, his height had shrunk, but he was still conspicuous in the crowd. He was about 1.7 meters tall, with a strong body, and he didn't have a cane in his hand. He looked very kind.
The moment he saw Jiang Xia, he smiled with some surprise in his eyes.
"Xia Xia, why did you come here without saying hello? It's not holiday yet, right?" Su Zhongshu said. Although he said this, he couldn't suppress the joy on his brows.
"Grandma, I missed you. I haven't been home these few days, so I came to see you and grandma." Jiang Xia spoke and got out of the car. She glanced at Lu Yuanting's coat, which was wrinkled by her sitting, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
She decided to wash the clothes for Lu Yuanting. After all, the weather was not too cold now and they would dry overnight.
Before Jiang Xia could finish her words, Lu Yuanting took the clothes from the back seat of his car and put them in his hands, as if he was going to put them on.
"Xia Xia, who is this?" Grandma Zhao Hexiang walked to Jiang Xia's side. The old lady kept looking at Lu Yuanting next to her. Xia Xia in their family had never brought a man to their home before, so could it be that today... something bad happened?
"He is... my childhood neighbor Lu Yuanting. He has a comrade in the army who is also from Changshi Village. He asked him to help deliver a letter and some other things. Since we were on the way, we came here together." Jiang Xia started, and then she looked at Lu Yuanting.
"Hello, grandma and grandpa Jiang Xia, I'm going to deliver something to you right away. It's that house. I've been here before." Lu Yuanting greeted the old lady politely. He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Xia's appearance, followed Jiang Xia's words, and pointed to a house at the entrance of the village.
"As for the Wang family, the couple was thinking about us a few days ago, saying they wanted to know about their son's situation in the army. Judging from the time, they should still be collecting grass for pigs, and they might not be able to come back all of a sudden." Zhao Hexiang spoke after listening to what Jiang Xia and Lu Yuanting said. She glanced at Lu Yuanting and thought for a while.
"How about this, Xiao Lu, you come to our house first to rest your feet and drink some water, and then come over after Lao Wang and his family return."
After all, they were the ones who brought their Xia Xia here. Although it was along the way, it was tiring to ride a car all the way, not to mention helping to carry so many things.
Lu Yuanting looked at Jiang Xia.
It seemed like he was asking for Jiang Xia's opinion. If she said it was good, he would go, and if she said it was not good, he would make an excuse not to go.
"Let's go. I'll have to trouble Captain Lu to carry it for me." Jiang Xia said, holding a net bag in his hand, while the rest of the things were carried by Lu Yuanting.
Jiang Xia and Lu Yuanting walked fast and were in front, putting things away first.
Su Zhongshu and Zhao Hexiang were walking slowly behind. Zhao Hexiang glanced at the backs of Jiang Xia and Lu Yuanting and spoke to her man in a low voice.
"Do you think the friend Xia Xia brought is a little unusual?" Zhao Hexiang said.
