Grandma Dong thought that maybe the Xu family looked down on her son A Yan, so she asked him to come back early.
I saw that the two of them came back together again, with smiles on their faces, and it didn't look like their family would not allow it.
"Grandma, it's just hard to buy tickets. I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy tickets if I'm late, and I'll be late coming back." Pei Yan certainly couldn't say that he was worried about Grandma Dong.
Borrowing the excuse Xu Zhiyi used to deal with the villagers.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at A Yan and thought that he was quite good at borrowing.
When Grandma Dong heard this, she felt relieved.
"Sister Zhiyi, please come into the house quickly and warm up by the fire." Fang Yingzi shouted.
Pei Yan parked his bike and took the bag from Xu Zhiyi.
After entering the house, Grandma Dong couldn't help but want to ask, but when she saw Xu Zhiyi in front of her, she was afraid that the little girl was shy, so she swallowed her words.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Have dumplings when you get on the bus or noodles when you get off. I'll go make noodles for you right now." As he said that, he was about to go out.
"Grandma, go slow, I'll do it." Pei Yan put down his luggage and was about to follow her to the kitchen.
Xu Zhiyi was no longer shy. After putting down her things, she followed him to the kitchen.
Fang Yingzi, who was making a fire, saw the two of them coming back and prepared to add more rice to cook.
"Yingzi, don't cook for now. I'll knead the dough and cook noodles." Grandma Dong said.
"Okay! Good." Fang Yingzi poured the washed rice into the previous pot and put them together.
It hasn’t been cooked yet. It won’t go bad if you cook it tomorrow.
Pei Yan didn't want to let Grandma Dong do it, so he took the dough kneading basin, rolled up his sleeves and added water to knead the dough.
"Look at you, you've been on the train for three days, and you're not tired?" Grandma Dong complained, but she was happy to see her grandson whom she hadn't seen for several days.
Normally he didn't feel anything when he was away from home for more than ten or twenty days, but during the Chinese New Year, he felt a little uncomfortable not being at home.
"Grandma, I'm really not tired. I just took the train and didn't do anything." Pei Yan said helplessly.
Seeing that he was really not tired, Grandma Dong let her go.
Grandma Dong didn't want to go back to the house to sit, so she chatted with Pei Yan in the kitchen.
I almost forgot about Xu Zhiyi.
"Zhiyi, are you hungry? Grandma will make you a bowl of malted milk to fill your stomach first." Grandma Dong said and was about to go to the main room.
People are full of energy and are visibly happier.
Even Fang Yingzi, who was in charge of the fire, said, "Grandma Dong is usually very cheerful, but she seems to be in much better spirits after you came back."
"Grandma Dong, I'm not hungry yet. I ate a lot of biscuits on the train. Please don't go, otherwise I won't be able to eat the noodles when I'm about to make them." Xu Zhiyi said.
"How can those biscuits satisfy your hunger? Why didn't A Yan buy you a lunch box on the train? Don't let you starve." Grandma Dong said and glared at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan just felt innocent.
Is it that he doesn’t want to buy it for Zhiyi?
The next day at noon, Pei Yan bought two boxes of lunch, the kind with meat and chicken legs.
Xu Zhiyi didn't say that the food was not tasty, but he still finished the whole box of food with a frown. People who have been hungry are reluctant to waste food.
Pei Yan himself felt that the lunch box tasted bad, and even the meat was bland.
After that, Xu Zhiyi didn't like to eat anymore. He only ate steamed buns and biscuits he bought on the way to Liushi.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't persuade Grandma Dong, so she immediately brought a bowl of malted milk.
"Come on, Zhiyi, drink it quickly. Drink it while it's hot, or it will get cold soon."
Xu Zhiyi had no choice but to take it. After drinking a bowl of fragrant malted milk, he really felt hungry.
It seems that she doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat noodles.
After making a bowl of soup for Xu Zhiyi, he completely forgot that his grandson was not yet there.
Not even a question.
After knowing that the noodles were cooked, Grandma Dong slapped her head and said, "Oh, I forgot to make a bowl of malted milk for A-Yan as well."
"Look at me, an old woman, always thinking about Zhiyi."
Pei Yan thought, Grandma, you don’t have to say this. It makes me feel a little heartbroken.
After eating the noodles, it was dark.
Fang Haicai came back on his bicycle.
Today he went for a stroll in the city and met a brother. The brother pulled him home and asked him to treat him to a meal. He couldn't refuse, so he went with him.
I was just thinking about having to go back to the village in the evening, so I didn't drink any wine.
Seeing a bicycle in the Pei family yard, I knew that Pei Yan had returned.
"Brother Yan, Sister Zhiyi, you are back." Fang Hai said.
"Fangzi, why are you back so late? Have you eaten?" Grandma Dong asked.
"I have eaten, Nanny Dong. I met a friend on the street and went to his house for dinner." Fang Hai replied.
Fang Yingzi cleaned up the kitchen quickly and came out. Seeing Pei Yan coming back, the brother and sister wanted to go back home.
"It's so late today, it's not convenient for you to wash or boil water. Don't go back, just stay here." Grandma Dong said. How could she let her grandson go back in the dark when he came back?
Pei Yan said the same thing.
The Fang brothers and sisters did not consider themselves outsiders and agreed.
After Xu Zhiyi had eaten the noodles, he gave her the specialty food that Jiang's mother had prepared for Grandma Dong, as well as the special snacks that Xu Zhiyi had brought for the Fang brothers and sisters.
Pei Yan consciously carried Xu Zhiyi's bag and had to take her home just a few steps away.
"Ayan, I'm next door, you don't have to send me off." Xu Zhiyi said.
"It's okay. I'll take you back soon." Pei Yan walked ahead.
After they arrived at the door and Xu Zhiyi unlocked it, they went in.
The yard was still the same as before she left. The big goose, which had been calling out at the noise, called out even more happily when it saw that its owner had returned.
It seems that Fang Yingzi takes good care of them.
Xu Zhiyi went into the house to put down her luggage, thinking Pei Yan had left.
When I came out, I saw light coming from the kitchen.
When Xu Zhiyi got closer, she saw Pei Yan lighting a fire in the kitchen.
"Boil some hot water so you can wash." Pei Yan was illuminated by the firelight and could not see anything unusual.
Xu Zhiyi's heart moved, thinking it was a thoughtful thing.
She walked up to Pei Yan, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Comrade Pei, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Pei Yan's heart began to beat wildly when Xu Zhiyi suddenly approached him.
His eyes inadvertently looked at the ups and downs in front of him. When he realized what it was, he immediately turned his head away. His blood rushed to his head and his whole face turned red.
The flames in the stove ignited and were reflected in his pupils, which sparkled brightly.
In the light of the fire, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but stare at his profile for a while.
While Pei Yan was turning his head, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but lower his head and move closer.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Zhiyi asked puzzledly.
Pei Yan turned around and was about to say it was nothing.
The next second, the warmth on his lips made him forget what he wanted to say.
There was a cold wind outside, and the crackling of firewood in the kitchen was as if the world had suddenly become silent. Pei Yan only remembered those eyes that were filled with a little smile.
