Build a faction from scratch

Xiao Ranran's grandparents lived halfway up the mountain. There was a large piece of bamboo and a few persimmon trees planted on the hillside by the back door, and a small field on the side for growing vegetables.

Xiao Ranran did her homework absentmindedly for a while, and when her grandma came back from digging the sweet potatoes, she immediately greeted her.

A rough calculation shows that she has not seen her grandmother for 12 years.

My grandmother, who was already 59 years old at the time, had already developed age spots on her face, and wrinkles were clearly visible.His slightly stooped figure made him even shorter, not much taller than the ten-year-old Xiao Ranran.

And the moment Xiao Ranran came up to her, grandma immediately noticed her red eyes, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes red? Were you bullied at school?"

Xiao Ranran, who was carrying a ten-year-old body, bit her lip hard and shook her head desperately.

"You like to bite your mouth when you want to cry," grandma walked quickly to the stove and put down the bamboo basket, took Xiao Ranran's hand and said, "Did those bad boys mention your parents again? Ran Ran, farewell Cry, I will ask grandpa to find your teacher tomorrow!"

"No, it's not..."

Xiao Ranran blinked back the tears in her eyes, reached out and hugged her grandmother: "It has nothing to do with them, I'm really fine."

Grandma obviously didn't believe Xiao Ranran's words, but she already had concerns in her heart, so she patted Xiao Ranran on the back and said: "Ranran——"

Xiao Ranran is no longer the crying little girl she used to be. Seeing that her grandma was still worried, she immediately wiped her eyes with her sleeves, stood up and looked at her grandma and said, "I'm really fine. Let's go cook first. Grandpa will be there later." came back."

After saying that, Xiao Ranran took her grandma's hand and walked towards the water tank carrying the sweet potatoes.

Next to the huge water tank, there is a concave sink that is less than calf height. There is a water outlet pipe at the bottom of the sink that leads directly to the outside of the house.

Xiao Ranran picked up the water ladle from the water tank and handed it to her grandmother, then picked a sweet potato from the bamboo basket and stood in front of the sink holding the sweet potato.When grandma poured some water gently, Xiao Ranran rubbed the sweet potatoes with the water and rubbed off the soil on the surface of the sweet potatoes.

The two of them worked together to wash all the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces and put them aside.

"Okay, you go do your homework, and I'll cook the shredded sweet potatoes. We'll have dinner when your grandpa comes back."

Xiao Ranran nodded and returned to the bench obediently. While doing her homework, she looked up from time to time to look at her grandma.

The grandma in front of her was no different from the grandma in her memory. Xiao Ranran really couldn't connect her grandma with her inner demon, so she used homework to calm down her mood.

Not long after, Xiao Ranran's grandfather also rushed home before dark.

With the experience of meeting her grandmother, Xiao Ranran's emotions had calmed down a lot when she saw her grandfather. Her eyes were only slightly red, and she cleverly concealed it with the dim tungsten lamp.

At night, Xiao Ranran was lying on the bed in the room next to her grandparents, tossing and turning, staring at the familiar blue curtain on the top of the bed, and sure enough, she found the familiar gray patch in the corner of the curtain.

For a moment, Xiao Ranran actually doubted his experience on Yunqi Continent.

Recalling that more than a year ago, she came to the Tianqi Mountains due to a car accident, and found a deserted residence in the mountains, as well as a lot of edible food.

Not to mention why those things happened to appear in a dilapidated house, even the dilapidation of the house was in no way consistent with brand-new baskets, tools and other items.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ranran became more and more awake, and even heard what the grandmother next door said to her grandfather.

"Ran Ran cried again today. You can quietly go to school on Monday and ask Teacher Huang about Ran Ran. See if those boys are bullying Ran Ran again."

"Okay, I'll borrow a car from Lao Liu's family and go back quickly."

"Well, hey - do you think Xiaoli - is it possible -"

Before grandma could finish speaking, Xiao Ranran's grandfather interrupted her angrily: "Why are you mentioning her! If you don't take care of your own daughter, you are rushing to be a stepmother for others!"

"Okay, okay, old man, don't be angry, I just..." "Don't let Ran Ran hear these words. No matter how poor we are, we can still pay Ran Ran out... Can she really not give her daughter a little living expenses? "

Hearing this, Xiao Ranran laughed.

Although grandpa's idea was good, it turned out that her mother really could not give her any living expenses.

The grandmother next door was silent for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "But my daughter-in-law, Lao Liu, said that Xiaoli seems to be pregnant again."

"..."

At this time, grandpa also fell silent.

Xiao Ranran calculated the time in her mind without a care, and was surprised to find that the time the grandma in the fantasy said was absolutely correct.

If I remember correctly, after the Chinese New Year this year, her mother gave birth to another daughter.As for her little cotton-padded jacket that leaks air, it is naturally even less important.

Xiao Ranran no longer wanted to listen to the subsequent conversation.

She closed her eyes and tried to absorb the spiritual energy using the method she had memorized in her mind. Unexpectedly, she succeeded the first time.

The moment she sensed her meridians again, Xiao Ranran immediately got up from the bed, changed into a meditating posture, and slowly introduced spiritual energy into her body.

I don't know why, but the spiritual energy that was originally very abundant in the meridians has disappeared a lot, and even basic inedia can no longer be performed.

After relieving his hunger, Xiao Ranran continued to meditate. While meditating, he also thought about how to break the illusion.

After meditating like this all night, Xiao Ranran woke up from the sound of roosters crowing.

Grandma has already cooked breakfast and went to the fields with grandpa.

After Xiao Ranran ate the sweet potato porridge, she sat on the bench again and started doing homework.

Having already graduated from graduate school, she started writing letters from her primary school homework and completed the task successfully in a short time.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Ranran locked the door and walked towards the land belonging to her grandparents.

Because the village is built in a mountain, there is not much flat land available. All the flat land at the foot of the mountain is used to grow rice.

When Xiao Ranran arrived, her grandparents had already planted some seedlings and were sitting on the edge of the field to rest.

Seeing this, Xiao Ranran took off her white washed canvas shoes without saying a word, rolled up her trouser legs, took the seedlings aside and entered the field.

"Hey, Ran Ran, come up -"

"Grandma, I've stepped on it, and it's still dirty when I go up there. You and grandpa can rest up there for a while."

After saying that, Xiao Ranran picked out a seedling and inserted it into the soil in a serious manner.

It's a pity that Xiao Ranran hasn't been in the fields for more than ten years. Although she was very careful, the seedlings were still very accurately tilted to one side.

"Oh, Ran Ran, please don't—"

Before grandma could finish speaking, grandpa interrupted grandma: "Let her go in, it will be fine later."

Sure enough, after continuing to plant three seedlings crookedly, Xiao Ranran finally regained the feeling of the past and successfully planted a handful of seedlings in her hand.
