Ruan Mianmian looked at the time after coming out of the department store. It was already ten o'clock. She had to hurry up as she had to catch a train in the afternoon.
Ruan Mianmian followed the address the old man gave her last night and asked someone for directions. The address was not far from where she was now and she could get there on foot.
Last night, I heard my grandfather say that he wanted to treat his grandson's illness, so Ruan Mianmian exchanged some commonly used cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretic drugs, etc. from the space.
Even if these medicines are not used this time, you can keep them at home as a backup.
Regular medicines exchanged from the system mall are also very cheap, unlike those with magical effects that cost so much points.
In addition to this, she also exchanged some rice, flour, vegetables, fruits and so on.
She said she would give the old man some supplies, so she naturally wouldn't be stingy.
Thinking about the box of things that was still in her system space, Ruan Mianmian felt that these things were still missing.
She found an empty corner and took out the bicycle and these things.
Then he pushed the car and found the old man's residence.
The address the old man gave was a large courtyard, a bit like the Siheyuan in Beijing, but it was different upon closer inspection.
There were a few middle-aged ladies sitting at the gate of the yard, chatting while twisting hemp ropes.
"Hello, Auntie. Excuse me." Ruan Mianmian greeted the auntie closest to her, "Excuse me, is your house here?"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished her words, the ladies who were chatting so lively just now suddenly fell silent.
The scene suddenly became cold.
What's going on? Why did he suddenly stop talking? Ruan Mianmian complained in her heart.
"Hello, does Uncle Congjun live here?" Ruan Mianmian looked at the slip of paper with the address and name written on it and asked again.
She must have come to the right place.
After a long while, the lady closest to Ruan Mianmian said, "Who are you to him? What do you want from him?"
After hearing this, Ruan Mianmian knew that she had made the right choice.
She smiled and replied, "I am a distant relative of his family. My parents asked me to come and see him."
These days, this phrase is like a panacea. No matter where you put it, there is nothing wrong with it. Distant relatives are really a panacea.
After hearing this, the old lady looked Ruan Mianmian up and down, then pointed to the most dilapidated room at the back of the yard and said, "It's over there, go ahead."
After saying that, the old lady turned her head and ignored Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian was confused.
When she asked for directions or inquired about something before, the ladies were generally very enthusiastic. Why was she so cold this time? Not only cold, she also felt a slight sense of disgust.
However, since the other person ignored her, she didn't have to rush over. She shook her head gently and pushed her bicycle towards the most shabby house.
The yard is quite big, and there is a threshold at the gate with a piece missing in the middle.
The wheel of the bicycle could just fit through the gap in the door sill, so Ruan Mianmian didn't have to spend much effort to pass through the door and walked straight away.
After she walked away, the ladies put their heads together again, but this time their voices were obviously much softer.
"Hey, do you think this girl is really a distant relative of the old Cong family?" Auntie A looked puzzled.
"Who knows? But Lao Cong's family is in such a bad situation now, is there anyone who comes to see him? I see there are a lot of things hanging on the bicycle." Aunt B said this with envy. She saw clearly that in addition to rice and flour, there was also meat in the basket.
They haven't eaten meat for a long time, and they didn't expect that the old man's family could still eat meat.
"Look again, those things are not for you either," Aunt Ding joked.
"Tsk, you old bastard, when did I say those things were for me? Besides, aren't you greedy?" Auntie B retorted without any hesitation.
"She must be a relative of his family. Didn't you see how the girl is dressed? She looks like a capitalist." Auntie C said with disdain. "Humph, the relatives of the old capitalist are also capitalists. All their good things are obtained by exploiting us, the working people!"
Auntie A went up and covered Auntie C's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to attract those people."
Auntie C slapped Auntie A's hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if those people come, they will arrest the capitalists. What does it have to do with ordinary people like us?!"
"You, you may have forgotten how the house you live in now came from." Auntie A looked around and lowered her voice, saying, "If the old family is really labeled as capitalists, then this yard will be the property of the capitalists. At that time, it will definitely be taken back by the higher authorities and redistributed. Will it be your turn then? ! If that happens, I wonder where you will live."
After hearing these words, Auntie C closed her mouth awkwardly and stopped talking about whether she was a capitalist or not.
Ruan Mianmian didn't hear what the ladies said.
She went straight to the most dilapidated house, and just as she parked her bicycle, she heard a suppressed cough coming from the house.
"Uncle Cong, are you home?"
Standing at the door, Ruan Mianmian knocked on it and shouted.
Congjun heard someone knocking on the door. He took the cup of water from his grandson's hand and put it down, and replied, "I'm at home, wait a moment."
When he opened the door and saw a well-dressed girl standing at his door, he asked in confusion, "Girl, who are you? Who are you looking for?"
It was not until this time that Ruan Mianmian realized that she was in such a hurry to deliver things to Uncle Cong that she forgot to change her clothes.
She was dressed as a gay last night, but now she is a lesbian.
In the eyes of Uncle Cong, it’s just that he doesn’t know himself.
What a bad decision!
For a moment, countless explanations flashed through Ruan Mianmian's mind, but in the end, she chose to tell the truth.
Judging from yesterday's contact, the uncle should be a trustworthy person. Moreover, Lin Cheng just came here unintentionally, and it is still unclear whether she will come in the future. If there is anything, she can just not come until the atmosphere is open, and it will be the same if someone else comes to do the business.
She never revealed her background, so once she left, it would be difficult to find her.
Congjun looked at the female comrade in front of him and was a little confused. This girl and the boy from last night were actually the same person? !
