After Lu Chen finished cleaning the yard, he came back and tidied up the room, then sat on the sofa.
After drinking the porridge, the two old people busied themselves with following Qiao Yunrong to check the dowry for Lu Jinyan.
"Mom, let's calm down for a while. Since the date was set, you have to check the dowry several times a day. Aren't you tired?" Lu Jinyan said helplessly while sitting on the bed.
"I'm not tired. How could I be tired? This is a major event in your life, so of course we have to take it seriously." Grandma Lu said.
"Where's Achen?" Grandpa Lu asked. "It's really wrong to let Ruoli see all these terrible things when she comes to visit for the first time today."
"My brother should be in the living room." Lu Jinyan said.
"I don't know what Ruoli would think. Sigh!" Grandma Lu also sighed, "I should have resolved these things earlier."
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law won't mind it. She is not such a superficial person." Lu Jinyan said.
Su Ruoli was already eating fruit at Zhang Sitong's house at this time. She didn't care about what happened just now. Who doesn't have a few bad relatives? She wouldn't think about those annoying people and affect her mood.
"Ruoli, let me tell you, you know when I came back yesterday, no one was home. Luckily, I know where I put the key to my house.
So I just came in and cooked a table full of dishes. When my mom and her family came back, they were shocked. I finally jumped out, and she hugged me and cried for a long time." Zhang Sitong talked about what happened when she came back.
"Your mother loves you very much." Su Ruoli said.
"Of course." Zhang Sitong said proudly, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"
"No, I just came to tell you my home address. Lu Chen said he would pick us up tomorrow." Su Ruoli said.
"He's so busy tomorrow, but he still has time to pick you up. What true love!" Zhang Sitong said, shaking her head.
"Yeah, he should be very busy tomorrow. Why don't we go there early by ourselves? I have sent back the bicycles and other things." Su Ruoli said.
"I think it's okay. Tell me her home address and I'll take the bus directly there. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for us to look for her one by one." Zhang Sitong said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, I'll write it to you." Su Ruoli picked up a pen and paper, wrote down the address and handed it to Zhang Sitong, "I'm leaving now. Grandma and the others just came back. I'll go back and see them."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Zhang Sitong said.
After leaving Zhang Sitong's house, Su Ruoli strolled on the road, slowly moving towards home.
Despite living in an era when living standards were lagging behind and fields such as communications and architecture were not yet highly developed, she was always able to appreciate a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.
In such an environment, people live at a slow and leisurely pace, as if time itself has become longer. Instead of the hustle and bustle of modern society, there is a sense of simplicity and innocence.
This feeling of comfort does not come from material abundance, but from the deep inner satisfaction and appreciation of a simple life.
She wandered all the way and returned home after lunch. The house was very quiet. Were grandma and grandpa taking a nap?
Su Ruoli went to Jian Zhongyi and Fang Yi's room to check, but no one was there. Su Ruoli searched the house front and back, but still couldn't find the two old people.
Where did they go? Su Ruoli took a sip of water. Could they have returned to their old home? Let’s go look for them.
Although she had never been there, she had walked there as a child and vaguely remembered the road.
Su Ruoli finally arrived at a small Western-style building following the path she remembered. Traces of vandalism could still be seen on the outside of the building.
The door of the small western-style building was open, and Su Ruoli walked in pushing her bicycle.
"Grandma, are you there?" Su Ruoli shouted, but no one answered her.
After parking the bicycle, Su Ruoli searched the small western-style building several times, and finally found the two old people on the swing in the backyard.
"Grandma, you two are so romantic." Su Ruoli said with a smile.
"My dear, why are you here?" Fang Yi asked, pushing Jian Zhongyi. "Get up and let my dear sit down."
"Okay, okay, I'll go. You two sit down." Jian Zhongyi stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Su Ruoli said, "I came home and found that you were not here. I thought you might be here, so I came to see you. I didn't expect you to be here."
"I haven't seen it for so many years. Now that the house is back, your grandfather and I came to take a look." Fang Yi said, "Alas! But many places have been smashed to pieces. What a pity."
Su Ruoli comforted her: "Grandma, it's okay, we can slowly repair it together."
Fang Yi smiled, touched Su Ruoli's hair and said, "Okay, let's fix it together. By the way, didn't you go to Xiaochen's house? How was it?"
Su Ruoli said: "Something happened in his family, so I came back."
Fang Yi asked, "Is it because his family doesn't like you?"
"No, it's their family affair and it's not convenient for me to get involved." Su Ruoli said.
"That's good. I was saying that my granddaughter is so good. If their family doesn't like her, they are really blind. But Xiaochen is indeed a good child." Fang Yi said.
Su Ruoli hummed, and at this moment, her stomach made a rumbling sound.
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Are you hungry?"
"Well, I've been running all morning and I'm so hungry!" Su Ruoli looked at Fang Yi's shoulder and acted coquettishly.
"Then let's go back. Grandma will make you something delicious." Fang Yi said, holding Su Ruoli's hand.
"Okay, I rode my bike here." Su Ruoli said, looking at Fang Yi, "Grandma, do you want to sit on the back of grandpa's bike, or do you want to take the bus with grandpa?"
"You silly girl, you're teasing me." Fang Yi tapped Su Ruoli's forehead. "Can you find your way by taking the bus?"
"I can find it! I can find it." Su Ruoli patted his chest and said, he must be able to find it.
Su Ruoli took Fang Yi's arm and shouted towards the small western-style building, "Grandpa, let's go back."
"I'm coming." Jian Zhongyi said as he came down from the small Western-style building.
The three of them walked towards the bicycles at the door together.
"Mr. Jian, I will leave Ms. Fang Yi to you. I will wait for you at home." Su Ruoli solemnly handed Fang Yi's hand to Jian Zhongyi, turned around and ran away.
Fang Yi smiled and shook her head, "This kid." Then she said to Jian Zhongyi, "Let's go, driver."
Jian Zhongyi pushed his bicycle over and said, "Ms. Fang Yi, please get on."
Fang Yi sat on the back of the bicycle and said, "I haven't ridden a bicycle in years."
"Yes, we are all old." Jian Zhongyi sighed and rode his bicycle hard.
Su Ruoli was in a good mood and took the bus home leisurely.
