Lin Xizhi nodded and walked forward with Xu Ruoguang.

Lin Xi knew that the last time she came back was when her grandmother died. The village was too far from the town. After her grandmother died, she was basically in school or working part-time. Anyway, no one was waiting for her when she came back.

She came back this time because she had a dream about her grandmother last night, and remembered that the little box her grandmother left her was not taken away.

It was her grandmother's dowry. When she was very young, her grandmother said that she would leave it as a dowry for her when she grew up and got married.

She had seen the contents of the box, a pair of gold earrings and a gold bracelet, and a gold necklace.

When she was about to go to high school, her grandmother secretly took the box to the gold shop in the town without telling her to pay for her tuition.

If she hadn't come home from vacation that day and heard the words of the grandmother next door to chase after her, the contents of the box would have been taken out.

Thinking of this, Lin Xizhi felt a little sad.

As soon as she was born, she was kicked out of the house with her mother because she was a daughter. Her father soon married a second wife, and her mother took her back to her grandmother's house. She has not grown up to remember her mother's appearance. At the age of 19, her mother drowned because of an accident, and it was her grandmother who pulled her up by herself.

When she was in elementary school, she needed a household registration, but she did not have a household registration. Lin Xi knew that her grandmother took her to find her biological father, but her biological father's family did not admit that she had a daughter.

At only six years old, she stood in the narrow corridor, looking at her biological father's disgusted face and disgusted eyes, and for the first time truly felt the true meaning of the bad words in her companion's mouth.

Later, it was her grandmother who gave her biological father 500 yuan, and her biological father was willing to do the proof and let her move to her grandmother's household registration.

Over the years, in fact, their grandparents and grandchildren did not live well, but Lin Xizhi never felt that he was an orphan.

She has a grandmother, she is not an orphan.

It was not until last year that her teacher rushed her to the hospital to meet her grandmother for the last time. Lin Xizhi deeply realized that she was the only one in this world.

She has no family anymore.

Lin Xizhi, who was on the side, didn't speak all the way. Seeing that she was about to fall into the ditch aside, Xu Ruoguang frowned and pulled the person back: "Do you like walking in the ditch?"

Suddenly being pulled, Xizhi came back to his senses, looked at Xu Ruoguang, blinked his eyes, slowed down, and then Lin Xizhi saw a ditch beside him.

"Sorry, I didn't walk seriously just now."

Xu Ruoguang glanced at her, and seeing that she was not looking very well, she didn't say anything: "Hungry?"

Lin Xizhi shook his head, "I'm not hungry yet."

A mile is neither long nor short, but the two of them walked for about twenty minutes.

The noon sun was already strong, and when he arrived at the place, Lin Xizhi's face was already tanned red.

She skillfully opened the iron gate of the small yard, pushed the door in and looked at the vegetable field behind the door for a while, then broke a wooden stick and dug for seven or eight seconds, dug out the key, and then walked to the door and opened the door .

The house is still a red brick house, the door is an old wooden door, and the lock on it is the lock of the locker on the market.

The house, which has not been occupied for nearly a year, smells of dust as soon as it is opened.

Lin Xizhi pushed the door open, covered her nose and didn't go in right away. She looked back at Xu Ruoguang: "Brother Xiao Wu, it's a little dirty, you sit here for a while!"

Saying that, she pulled a small wooden chair out of it.

Xu Ruoguang didn't sit down and followed her into the house.

As soon as you enter the door is a small living room of about ten square meters. Although it is covered with dust and a little dirty, it is neatly tidied up.

There was a wide wooden stool about 1.5 meters long by the wall, and a bamboo back chair was placed beside it.

There was a rectangular four-corner table less than one meter long in front, a black and white TV set on the table against the wall, a radio and a small basket next to it.

On the wall above the TV is a very old poster painting, and the stars on the painting do not know whether they are still alive or not.

Xu Ruoguang saw everything in the small living room clearly at a glance. Lin Xizhi came out of a door with an extra basin of water and a towel in his hand: "Brother Wu, wait a moment, I'll be able to wipe it clean soon."

Xu Ruoguang threw the two bags on his back onto the wooden bench: "Are there any more rags?"

Lin Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "I'll be fine, this place hasn't been cleaned for almost a year, it's very dirty."

"Where's the rag?"

Xu Ruoguang didn't say much, and asked again.

Lin Xizhi had no choice but to point to the front, "There is a small patio inside, and there is..."

Before she could finish her words, Xu Ruoguang had already gone inside.

Soon, he brought out a bucket of water and wet the ground.

The ground was still red bricks, which had not been cleaned for a long time. He poured a bucket of water down, and a layer of dust floated on the water.

Xu Ruoguang has always been a bit of a clean freak. He looked at the gray layer on the water and frowned slightly.

Lin Xizhi looked at him, "Brother Xiao Wu, you—"

Hearing her words, Xu Ruoguang glanced at her, then picked up the broom behind him to sweep the water out of the yard.

He fetched the water back and forth several times, swept the water several times, and finally washed the mop and mopped the whole house.

The two cleaned up the house, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xi knew the time, and hurriedly went to grandma's room to turn out the box, "Brother Xiao Wu, I've got my things, let's go back."

She originally wanted to visit her grandmother's grave, but Xu Ruoguang came with her. Lin Xi knew that Xu Ruoguang was not used to it, so she never thought about staying overnight.

Xu Ruoguang didn't move, "It's raining."

"No, the sun is still out..."

Before Lin Xi knew what to say, the pouring rain fell down.

Standing at the door, she stared blankly at the sudden heavy rain, and then glanced at Xu Ruoguang sitting on the bench: "Then what should we do, how do we go back? The bus from here to town is at 6:30 at the latest. , it's a quarter past five now."

"Go back tomorrow."

Xu Ruoguang said, and paused: "You rarely come back, don't you want to visit your grandmother's tomb?"

Lin Xizhi pursed his lips: "Then what shall we eat at night?"

Xu Ruoguang raised her backpack: "Didn't you bring a lot of food?"

"Will you be hungry?"

She brought a lot of food, but she already ate a lot by noon.

Xu Ruoguang looked at her: "Just now."

Lin Xizhi pursed his lips: "I'll go to the kitchen to see."

She hadn't come back for almost a year, but her grandmother liked to stock up on food during her lifetime. Lin Xizhi turned over the rice jar and found that there were still two bags of rice and some flour.

But she didn't know how long it had been on. After reading the production date, Lin Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Not expired.

Lin Xizhi plans to go to the mother-in-law next door to buy something to eat after the rain stops. She can make some noodles in the evening and eat noodles in the morning.

After thinking about it, Lin Xizhi's frowning brows loosened.
