Ning Chengyuan smiled coquettishly: "I didn't mean to... capture him and show you."
After breakfast, Xuan Jiu left with Ning Chengyuan. Ning Chengyuan was afraid that he would regret it at any time, so he didn't let him touch his luggage along the way. Ning Chengyuan was always holding it for him.
The countryside was quite far away, and it took them almost two days of driving by carriage to reach it.
It was a small town called Li'anqiao.
The city gate is made of gray-white bricks and stones. The city gate is very short. From a distance, you can see the uneven small houses in the city gate. Most of them are red bricks and white tiles. In other words, you don't see them. What color are the bricks and tiles on the roof? It's just that the bricks and tiles are covered with snow, so they look completely white.
The roads in the small town are quite narrow, and are intricately interspersed with many rivers. Rows of boats have been parked on the shore for some time, and they are all covered with frost and snow.
Most of the houses here are very short, and two-story attics are rare.
However, the house that Ning Chengyuan's maternal grandfather lived in happened to be a two-story small attic, but it was not necessarily an attic. Looking from a distance, it was just an extra small house built on the first floor. , but the red bricks look particularly beautiful against the white snow.
Coincidentally, Ning Chengyuan told him that it happened to be his grandfather's house.
Because his grandfather didn't like outside influence being brought to the countryside, Ning Chengyuan got off the carriage outside the city gate and carried a lot of things into the city. Xuan Jiu also wanted to help him get things. But Ning Chengyuan only left his luggage and asked him to help carry it. Xuan Jiu was holding his luggage, which made him feel strange.
At that time, when the two of them passed by, it was not a good time. Ning Chengyuan happened to see his grandfather coming out of the house angrily on crutches. As he came out, he pointed at the people in the house with trembling fingers and said: "I won't do it in a while." Back for dinner!”
The grandmother in the room responded calmly: "Okay."
Grandfather was so angry that the white beard on his chin trembled with the cold wind. He walked out on crutches and happened to see two people standing outside the fence carrying things. One of them shouted: "Grandpa, open the door!"
Grandfather was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at him: "What kind of bastard are you?"
"Which grandson do you have besides me? Oh my God!" Ning Chengyuan stood outside the fence and shouted into the wind.
Xuan Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and saw that the wooden door next to the fence was not closed tightly, so he went over and pushed the door open, allowing Ning Chengyuan to go in.
Ning Chengyuan was able to walk into the yard, and his grandfather came forward with squinted eyes and a cane, "Hey..." Grandfather seemed to recognize him, Ning Chengyuan raised his eyebrows and was about to wait for the old man to praise him for growing taller. He became handsome, but his grandfather turned around and shouted into the room, "Honey! Your grandson who ran around the mountains naked when he was a child is back!"
Ning Chengyuan: "..."
Xuan Jiu behind him laughed out loud.
Grandma walked out slowly and looked at her grandson, who was indeed back. She said "tsk" without being too surprised, "Let's put things in the house first. Doesn't it look good if we stand outside like this?"
Only then did Ning Chengyuan respond. He turned around and was about to call Xuan Jiu, but when he saw Xuan Jiu laughing, he couldn't help but glared at him and whispered angrily: "Laughter."
Xuan Jiu nodded.
Ning Chengyuan had no time on his hands, so he couldn't help but pretend to kick him, but he didn't actually kick him and didn't dare to.
