When she saw the people driving back to the old house, Ji Ling recognized both of them.

Wei Kun and Yan Yunmei.

"I was going to collect folk songs and see the autumn scenery in the north. He said he was going to apologize, so we went together." Yan Qumei explained to Ji Ling, "Since we were going to your place, I called Grandpa Zhu, and Grandpa Zhu asked us to take you with us."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Senior, do you know Zhu Weidong?"

Yan Yunmei turned around and blinked at her. "We grew up in the same compound. Later, my family moved, so we didn't visit each other often."

Ji Ling was surprised. When she heard Wei Kun's cold snort, she thought of what happened on the blind date. She exchanged glances with Yan Yunmei, and they both smiled at the same time.

Obviously Yan Yunmei knew her identity and tricked Wei Kun.

As for Ji Ling, she brought it up at the very end, which was a slap in Wei Kun's face.

The three of them set off together. Ji Ling sat in the back and could lie down when she was tired. Wei Kun and Yan Yunmei took turns driving. Because they were in a hurry, they did not stop except to eat.

Ji Ling just didn't drive, and after two days of contractions, her body was sore and stiff.

When we arrived at H County, it was early morning on the 3rd. Apart from the street sweepers, there were breakfast stalls running the place.

Wei Kun suggested eating something hot and going back to the Zhu family’s old house.

The three of them sat in front of the snack stand and had a quick bite before heading towards the Zhu family's old house. On the way, Wei Kun asked Ji Ling where her home was. This time Grandpa Zhu asked Ji Ling to come back with him because he was worried that she would miss home. Since they had already arrived in H County, it was natural for him to send Ji Ling home first.

It’s not right to come back and not go home.

Ji Ling pointed the way, got off the car at the street corner, and made an appointment with Yan Yunmei to go out and play together then they parted ways.

In addition to the things she packed at school, there was also a gift that Zhu Heping helped her prepare to take home. Ji Ling picked it up and flipped through it. It was tea. Although there were only a few boxes, it could be seen from the packaging that it was very valuable.

Ji Ling mentioned that even if she didn't want to go home, she had to go back, so everything is unpredictable. She also thought that she wouldn't have to come back after getting married, and the school was far from home. It was a legitimate reason, but in the end, the plan was not as fast as the changes.

With a creaking sound.

Pulling Ji Ling back to her confused thoughts, she first saw her bag being hit by the bicycle, then she moved her eyes upwards and saw the person getting off the bicycle.

"I'm sorry, it's foggy today, so it was too late to brake when I saw it. Check to see if anything is damaged, and I'll compensate you."

Ji Ling narrowed her eyes, squatted down obediently, rummaged through her bag, stood up, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and said with a half-smile, "The watch is crushed."

As she spoke, she took a few steps back to put some distance between them.

"Ji Ling?" Zhu Weidong put his bicycle away, took two steps forward, sniffed hard, and then asked, "You just arrived? Where are Wei Kun and Yan Yunmei?"

Ji Ling: It does have a dog's nose.

"They went to the old house."

Zhu Weidong squatted down, picked up the bag from the ground, and casually put it on the back seat of the bicycle, "I'll take you home."

The two of them walked together to the agricultural machinery family compound. Zhu Weidong explained that he received a call from his grandfather at the unit, telling him the news that her grandfather had returned. In order to make time, he had been catching up on the work at hand these days. After staying up all night, he could put his work aside. When it was daybreak, he thought about going home first.

Then I met Ji Ling who had just arrived in H County.

Ji Ling led the way. As Zhu Weidong was talking, he recalled what his colleagues had taught him. He took the initiative to talk, "You have met Wei Kun before, so you are not strangers. Yan Yunmei has a good temper and is not difficult to get along with, so you should have a pleasant journey."

Ji Ling raised her eyebrows, "Happy."

Ji Ling: Are two sets of clothes and four books heavy? But it can be seen that he is trying his best to be a perfect husband. Ji Ling did not expose him and said thank you very cooperatively. But she could not help but joked, "Next time I will put two fewer books."

Zhu Weidong: Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Ji’s house.

It was Ji Yong who came out to open the door. He got up early and was reading a book in the yard.

Seeing his daughter standing outside the door, Ji Yong smiled with his mouth wide open, "Come in, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back so that I could pick you up? How many days has it been on the bus? Are you hungry? Are you tired? Go lie down first, and wait for your mother to finish cooking before calling you to get up."

Ji Yong's words were incoherent. Ji Ling smiled and took his arm. "Dad, I came back in Zhu Weidong's friend's car. I'm not tired at all. I just had breakfast on the street. Don't worry about it. Just sit down."

The three of them sat down on chairs in the yard. Ji Yong looked at his daughter and said, "You've lost weight. Is it because you're not used to the climate there? You've become darker."

"There's plenty of sunshine over there, so I'm paying attention to sun protection." Ji Ling smiled and answered whatever her father asked. Xu Fang in the room heard the noise and came out.

After seeing Ji Ling, he was slightly stunned.

He greeted her with a stiff expression, "I'm back."

He nodded to Zhu Weidong again, turned around and went back into the house.

"You should go back too." Ji Ling urged Zhu Weidong to go.

Zhu Weidong: "Wait until the fog clears."

"Yes, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Weidong, stay and have lunch before going back."

Zhu Weidong agreed, "Okay."

Ji Ling: Soon, Ji Ke also got up, and the Ji family’s yard became lively.

Except for Ji Ling, the other four had breakfast. Ji Yong asked Ji Ke to call Ji Jianhua, "It's vacation time. Ask him to come back when he has time. Just tell him that your sister is back."

Ji Ke smiled and went to make a phone call.

Xu Fang still had to go to work, so she left after breakfast. Without her around, Ji Ling felt much more comfortable, but she didn't sleep well in the car for the past two days and yawned frequently.

When Ji Yong was chatting with Zhu Weidong, he also heard that he had been working overtime until dawn, so he urged them to go to sleep for a while.

Ji Ling did not refuse and took Zhu Weidong back to her small north room. The room was the same as when she lived there, with no changes. She touched it and there was no dust, so it must have been cleaned.

"Look, my room is small. Do you want to go back and sleep?" Ji Ling turned around and looked at Zhu Weidong.

Zhu Weidong has already sat down on the kang. "That's great. I'm not picky about this. We often live in tents while on the road."

Ji Ling looked at him with pity and gave up the idea of ​​chasing him away.

The man couldn't tell that she was trying to chase him away, as she was being tactful. He even told him seriously that he was not afraid of hardship.

The two people were not talking on the same page at all, so there was no need to say more.

Ji Ling was really tired again, so she took off her shoes, got on the kang, and lay down on one side, leaving as much space as possible for Zhu Weidong to sleep.

As for whether Zhu Weidong would feel embarrassed when they slept together, Ji Ling felt that there was no need to worry at all, as he had no such awareness at all.
