Granny Liu was very kind, and said with a smile, "Of course, you can follow me." She got up holding the big tabby cat in her hand and led Chen Nan.

He followed Granny Liu towards the village, and the village was very quiet.

On the way to her house, he found out that her surname was Liu, so he could just call her Granny Liu.

Granny Liu's family lives in the second house at the entrance of the village.

The big red iron gate was tightly closed, and behind it were three bungalows with a large yard, where several chickens were fed.

In the yard, Granny Liu bent down and put down the tabby cat in her arms, "Let's go play." Then she turned her head and smiled, pointing to the stone table in the yard, and said, "You sit for a while, I'll go." Get you some water."

Chen Nan said thank you, walked to the stone table, took off the backpack weighing more than ten kilograms, put it by his feet, sat down and waited.

After a while, Granny Liu came out with a large bowl of water.

"Here, drink, give me the water bottle on your body, and I'll fill you with more water."

"Hey, okay, thank you." After speaking, he took out his big water jug ​​from his bag and gave it to Granny Liu.

Granny Liu turned around and entered the room again, and he also sat at the table and drank water.

After drinking the water, he sat on a stool to rest.

Granny Liu came out with his kettle.

"Grandma, do you live here alone?" Chen Nan asked.

When he first entered the village, he found that the village was very quiet, as if no one lived there. When he arrived at Granny Liu's house, he saw that there were only two clothes that the old people often wore on the clothesline.

It is guessed that this mother-in-law may be the only one living in the house.

"That's right. Now that young people have gone out to work, the old people in the village either died or were picked up by the children who worked outside to enjoy life in the city. There are not many people left in the village."

"Is that so." Chen Nan didn't dare to ask further questions. Granny Liu still lives in the village. Either the child didn't pick her up to live in the city, or the child is no longer there. Either way, it's not appropriate to ask further questions.

Chen Nan drank a few more sips of water, said thank you, and got up to organize his backpack.

"Thank you, I still have to hurry, so I'll go first."

"Let's have lunch here. It looks like it's going to rain. It's not convenient for you to ride a bike." Granny Liu suddenly invited him to stay for dinner.

Chen Nan raised his head and looked at the sky. It was really cloudy, as if it would rain anytime.

He hesitated.

Granny Liu, "I'm an old woman, and I don't have anything good to entertain you. It's just some simple meals. If you don't dislike it, you can have a meal together before leaving. The children at home haven't come back for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time. Such an energetic young man, I am happy to see more."

Her words reminded Chen Nan of his grandmother who had passed away long ago. She also lived in the country all year round. In the past, he could only go back to the countryside to see his grandmother during the summer vacation every year when he went to school.

I heard from other old people in the village that every time when the holidays are about to come, his grandmother always sits at the entrance of the village early in the morning and waits for him to go back. It lasts for several days, from morning to night.

Every time during the summer vacation, grandma always prepares a lot of delicious food, just waiting for him to eat and have fun when he arrives.

At that time, my parents were very busy with work, and every time it was time for school to start, my grandma always reluctantly stuffed him with a lot of delicious food to take home.

Chen Nan looked at the little old lady who was very similar to his deceased grandma, thought for a while, and agreed, "Then wait until the rain stops before leaving, as long as you don't mind the trouble, mother-in-law."

"No trouble, no trouble, let's go into the house and have a rest." Granny Liu happily led him into the house.

Chen Nan entered the room with his backpack in one hand and the bowl he just drank in the other.

The house was cleaned very clean, without any dust at all. It could be seen that it was cleaned carefully every day. Granny Liu walked to a door, opened the door and walked in.

"Young man, this is the room where my grandson used to live. If you don't mind, you can rest here and I will cook."

Chen Nan casually put the bowl on the table in the main room, and quickly stepped forward to thank him, "Okay, thank you Granny Liu."

The door was closed carefully, and Granny Liu went to prepare meals.

He put his backpack on the ground next to the door, and only then did he have time to look at the room. In the room of more than 20 square meters, the walls were covered with various posters of hot-blooded anime, and there were a few books on the table in front of the window. , and two or three toys.

He walked to the side of the bed and glanced at the single bed, on which was a quilt embroidered with rich and rich flowers.

After riding for several days, he was really tired. He lay on the bed exhausted and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was raining heavily outside the window, and the rainwater hit the window glass with a pattering sound.

It's raining really hard.

He pushed open the door and went out, only to see Granny Liu sitting in front of the door with the cat in her arms and looking at the rain outside. She turned her head when she heard the sound, "I'm awake, I didn't see you before I woke up." Good to tell you, you are exhausted, wash your hands and eat."

After finishing speaking, she put down the cat in her arms, and went to the side of the sink to call Chen Nan to wash his hands.

The two washed their hands, sat down at the table, and prepared to eat.

The food is very fragrant, three dishes and one soup.

Chen Nan was also hungry now, so after saying thank you, he picked up the bowl and began to eat.

After a long time, Chen Nan couldn't help belching after eating and drinking, "Mother-in-law, your cooking is so delicious, your skills are almost as good as those of the chefs in the hotel."

"Hahaha, how can it be so delicious, you will coax me."

"Really, I lied to you that I'm a puppy."

The two chatted and laughed for a while. The rain outside the house did not stop at all. Chen Nan looked at the bicycle parked in the yard with some sadness.

"How about resting here tonight and leaving tomorrow morning." Granny Liu said kindly.

Chen Nan felt a little embarrassed, "No, how can I keep bothering you." He had already had lunch here, so he was ashamed to continue to sleep here.

"It's okay, I'm bored when I'm alone."

Chen Nan thought for a while, went back to the room, took out his wallet, took out a few hundred dollars from it, and went back to the main room.

"Mother-in-law, I don't have much money with me. Here is 500 yuan. If you think it's okay, I'll stay for another night." Now it's raining heavily outside, and it's not convenient to travel, and I can't find a hotel in the countryside. Give Granny Liu some money, and he will live with more peace of mind.

Seeing him handing over a few red banknotes, Granny Liu quickly declined, "How can I charge you money? It's not a big deal, anyway, there is a spare room at home."

"No, mother-in-law, if you don't accept the money, I won't live here. You can accept it." Chen Nan said and was about to leave. Although the money is not much, there is anyway. Usually, the village comes to sell vegetables, Granny Liu It's also good to buy some food.

"Okay, but it doesn't need that much, 200 is enough. An old woman like me has no place to spend that much money." She said, she took out two of the five banknotes, and stuffed the rest back into Chen Nan's pocket. hand.

Seeing that she had also collected it, Chen Nan was satisfied. He took the remaining money back to his room and put it back in his backpack.

Little did he know, behind him, Granny Liu, who had just refused, was staring at his back with squinted eyes, showing a weird smile.
