Nie Heng and Da An and Xiao An will follow Nie Beilou back to their hometown. As a result, only four people, Ruan Qi, Ruan Munan and the Ruan family, are left in the imperial capital.

The courtyard is so big, and it's a bit desolate for just the four of them to live there. Yangliu happened to have nothing to do recently, so he wanted to go back to Qingyun Village with Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan to spend some time.

As soon as Yangliu left, Ruan Fengmian, a wife and son, wanted to follow him. Ruan Qi saw her parents, grandparents, and master all running away. She couldn't sit still and wanted to follow them back.

Everyone wanted to go back to their hometown. Now, Ruan Munan was the only one left in the imperial capital.

Therefore, Ruan Munan was not happy either.

I don’t like going to work on a hot day. If someone at home is more lively, I can still feel a little happier. But Ruan Qi and the others are all going back to Qingyun Village. Then when Ruan Munan comes back from get off work every day, won't he have to stay alone in a huge courtyard?

This is too much like an empty-nest young man.

Ruan Munan didn't want to be an empty-nest young man, so he handed over all the work to his subordinates and prepared to return to Qingyun Village with his family.

When Ruan Fengmian saw that his family was about to leave, he thought of Cheng Jinyan, his eldest nephew.

Cheng Jinyan is also a member of the Ruan family, and they cannot isolate him.

So Ruan Fengmian informed Cheng Jinyan. When Cheng Jinyan heard that he was going back to his second uncle and aunt's hometown, he immediately put down what he was doing and planned to go with him.

Xi Jiu, who had been unhappy for several days because Ruan Qi was going back to his hometown, suddenly turned dark when he learned that Cheng Jinyan was also going back to Qingyun Village.

Everyone can go back to Qingyun Village, even Cheng Jinyan can go back, why can't he alone?

Although he and Ruan Qi are not engaged yet, their parents have already met, and he is considered half of the Ruan family. Why not take him with you when you return to your hometown?

Xi Jiu felt depressed.

But he had a dull temper and didn't show it. He just tormented Ruan Qi hard at night.

Ruan Qi was kept awake by Xi Jiu for several nights. Until she woke up from bed in the afternoon of the fourth day, her whole body ached as if it had been dismantled and reassembled. He gently checked his own pulse——

Very good, a little kidney deficiency.

Ruan Qi felt that she could no longer continue to indulge like this.

For the sake of her own kidneys, Ruan Qi promptly stopped Xi Jiu from having fun every night that night, and asked him directly why he had been abnormal these days.

Xi Jiu was pressed repeatedly, and finally told the truth in a low voice.

After hearing this, Ruan Qi felt incredible at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Jiujiu, if you want to go back to Qingyun Village with me, just say no? It's not an ancestral forbidden land. If you ask, can I still not take you back?"

Xi Jiu's voice was muffled: "I'm afraid my father-in-law won't agree."

Although Ruan Fengmian has accepted Xi Jiu as his son-in-law, Ruan Fengmian still dislikes him intermittently because he is the pig who stole his cabbage.

Xi Jiu was worried that Ruan Fengmian didn't want to take him back to Qingyun Village, so he kept silent and depressed until now.

After hearing his reasons, Ruan Qi was both amused and distressed.

She raised her hand to hold the man's face and kissed him hard on the lips: "Don't worry about Dad, I am the boss in the family and I have the final say. This time when we return to Qingyun Village, Jiujiu will go with us. Our ugly son-in-law will also want to Go back and meet your fellow villagers!"

Therefore, it was decided that Xi Jiu would also follow back to Qingyun Village.

After Ruan Fengmian learned about it, he didn't say anything, he just rolled his eyes silently.

But now that Xi Jiu also went to Qingyun Village, Ruan Fengmian thought of another person - Mr. Xi.

Mr. Xi helped Ruan Fengmian a lot in his early years. Ruan Fengmian was a grateful person and always remembered the good things he did to him. Therefore, after returning to the Imperial Capital, Ruan Fengmian would often contact Mr. Xi on the phone to ask him about his recent physical condition, and would often send him some supplements to express his concern.

Mr. Xi also treats Ruan Fengmian as half a son. When he is fine, he will invite him to his home for a while. The two of them drink tea and play chess, and they have a very harmonious relationship.

This time, the Ruan family returned to Qingyun Village collectively. Ruan Fengmian looked at Xi Jiu and thought of Mr. Xi.

The weather in the imperial capital is too hot. Although Mr. Xi is an ancient warrior, he is still old and his heat tolerance is not as good as that of young people.

Therefore, Ruan Fengmian had an idea in his mind - how about taking Mr. Xi back to Qingyun Village?

Anyway, it’s okay to bring one Xi family member, and it’s the same to bring two Xi family members. Mr. Xi cared so much about his life in the past twenty years, so he could take this opportunity to let the old man see it with his own eyes.

With this in mind, Ruan Fengmian called Xi Jiu and asked for his opinion.

Xi Jiu naturally had no objection. He called his grandfather on the spot. When Mr. Xi heard that he was going to Qingyun Village, he immediately agreed without thinking.

As a result, what was originally only a trip back to the hometown for Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan turned into a homecoming for Ruan and Xi’s entire family.

"That's what happened. Our family will go back to our hometown to live for a while, and then come back in autumn. Grandpa Xi is getting older, so he also goes back to escape the summer heat. I just happened to take Jiujiu back to meet his old family."

Ruan Qi explained to Bai Li, who sat in the sea of ​​consciousness, frowning and sighing.

"I really envy you. I also want to go to Qingyun Village."

But now he is only the size of a palm and is still trapped in the sea of ​​consciousness with no way to get out.

Seeing that Bai Li was depressed, Ruan Qi couldn't help but comfort him: "Uncle Bai Li, the days are long and we have plenty of opportunities. When you recover in the future, I will take you back to your hometown to play."

Bai Li was barely comforted.

He pulled off his beard and asked Ruan Qi: "What about your movie? Isn't it about to be shot?"

"It's still early. The team has been built and is currently in the casting stage. There are directors, screenwriters and professionals here, so I don't have to worry too much."

Ruan Qi said, packing the toiletries and putting them in the suitcase, "The movie is initially scheduled to start filming at the end of September, which is just enough time to go back to my hometown for a month. Adjust your mood and come back and work hard!"

Snapped!

The suitcase closes.

In the lush August, the Ruan family, together with their unmarried son-in-law and his grandfather, embarked on the road back to their hometown.

——

Qingyun Village is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers in Baicheng, China, about a six-hour drive from the imperial capital.

The Ruan family set out early in the morning, dispatched four vehicles, and finally arrived at the Baicheng Expressway entrance at about 1 p.m. that day.

After entering from the highway entrance, the car drove all the way south. Pass through the hustle and bustle of the city and finally enter the sparsely populated back roads.

About forty minutes later, the entrance of Qingyun Village appeared at the end of the road.

Many small yellow flowers gradually appeared around the flat asphalt road, and the lush trees formed dense shades. The hot sunlight was isolated by the layers of leaves, making people feel fresh and cool.

Ruan Qi, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but press down the window.

The fresh air outside the window suddenly hit her face with the summer wind. Ruan Qi took a deep breath. The familiar smell that she had smelled for more than ten years made her excited.

"Jiujiu, this is the only road leading to Qingyun Village. When my brother went to study abroad, I would always sit on the big rock at the end of the road and wait for him to come back."

Ruan Qi pointed to the end of the road.

There, there stood a large stone with the words 'Qingyun Village' clearly engraved on it.

Behind the boulder is a towering tree with a trunk so thick that it takes two people holding hands to wrap it around it. Under the shade of layers of trees, there are several small stools placed one after another, and there are several stone piers next to them. Maybe there are too many people sitting on it, and the surface of the stone pier has been rubbed very smooth.

Xi Jiu looked through the car window at the big tree and the scattered stone piers, and a yellowed picture emerged in his mind——

The little Ruan Qi was wearing a white skirt, sitting alone on the stone pier, looking longingly at the asphalt road extending outward.

She didn't know when her brother would come back, but she would come here to sit down after dinner every day. Maybe one day, my brother will suddenly appear like a surprise Santa Claus.

Xi Jiu imagined the little girl sitting on the stone pier, and her cold eyes gradually turned warm.

He curled his lips, stretched out his hand to hold Ruan Qi's hand, and said in a gentle tone, "The baby must have been very cute back then."

Ruan Qi smiled shyly and turned away in embarrassment.

"It's okay. I was quite naughty when I was little, and my clothes always got dirty. Fortunately, there is a washing machine at home, otherwise my parents would have to wash several sets of clothes for me every day."

Ruan Fengmian, who was sitting in the front, couldn't help turning his head when he heard this: "Daughter, even if there is a washing machine at home, I have always washed your clothes before. The speed at which you destroy clothes cannot keep up with the washing machine, okay? And You just want to do it by yourself, but you also bring Xiaodouzi from next door with you. Xiaodouzi doesn’t have a washing machine at home, and his mother beats him all over the village if his clothes get dirty. After so many years, I don’t know if Xiaodouzi is still there. Will I bear your grudge?"

Ruan Qi was caught off guard by her old father exposing the dark history, and her face suddenly turned red.

She widened her round eyes and tried to defend herself: "Children, how can they not stain their clothes? I have been very careful. Sometimes I don't let Xiaodouzi participate in fishing in the river, but he sat down He has to go down, and I can’t stop him. Besides, the reason why his mother is chasing him is not because of his clothes, but because Xiaodouzi gave the hairpin that his mother saved up for a month to buy to the little girl next door!"

Ruan Fengmian raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What about this thing? Xiaodouzi likes the little girl next door? Why didn't I know?"

Ruan Qi: "Dad, how can an elder like you know about young people's affairs? Xiaodouzi has always liked Xiaoya. When I left Qingyun Village a few years ago, he also said that he and Xiaoya would be admitted to the same university. I don’t know if they passed the exam or not, I’ll just go back and find out later.”

Ruan Qi and Ruan Fengmian chatted animatedly, and Xi Jiu sat aside and listened with interest.

He liked hearing Ruan Qi talk about this very much. He had no chance to participate in Ruan Qi's years. Only in this way could he have a deeper understanding of Ruan Qi's childhood.

"Baby, is Xiaodouzi your neighbor?" Xi Jiu asked Ruan Qi while Ruan Fengmian turned around to drink water.

Ruan Qi nodded: "Yes. Xiaodouzi lives next door to my house. His family has a big yellow dog, which is one year younger than Anise."

"What about Xiaoya? Do you have a good relationship with them?"

"Super good~" Ruan Qi's eyebrows brightened when she mentioned her childhood friend, "Xiaoya is Grandma Wu's granddaughter and she has played with me since she was a child. We children often fish and climb trees together, and we even go to the beach together. We have adventures in mountain exploration. But that was all in childhood. Xiaoya and the others didn’t have much time to play after they went to school. The year I went to the Imperial Capital, they were all preparing for the college entrance examination."

Ruan Qi didn't go to school when she was a child. When she was fifteen, she went abroad to be an auditor at Ruan Munan's university. Later, she went to a well-known university in country Y to study for a doctorate in dual subjects.

Her educational path was different from that of most of her peers, and this difference caused her to lose the opportunity to go to school with her friends.

But Ruan Qi didn't feel sorry.

Everyone's life is different, and there is no need for her to copy most people's lives just to cater to the public. And the friendship between her and her friends will not become weaker just because they don't go to school together.

Amidst the conversation between Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu, the car drove smoothly into Qingyun Village.

Sparse houses gradually appeared on both sides of the road. The appearance of these houses is very exquisite, ranging from two-story buildings to three-story villas. Every household has a large yard, and it seems that the economic conditions are very good.

As the car continued to drive, the number of houses gradually increased. At the same time, Ruan Qi saw many familiar faces on the roadside.

"That's Grandma Sun's home. The one standing at the door is her little grandson, right? He's grown so big after I haven't seen him in two years!"

"And that one is Sister Huang's house. Are Sister Huang and her boyfriend married? Didn't they say that they were going to meet their parents two years ago?"

"Wow - Uncle Liu's family has built a new house! A three-story villa, so luxurious!"

From the moment she entered Qingyun Village, Ruan Qi started talking more. She seemed to have shed her shackles in the city and turned back into the little girl who grew up wild in the village.

Xi Jiu looked at her vivid features and suddenly thought of his first meeting with Ruan Qi in the fishing village ten years ago.

Ruan Qi was so bright and full of life at that time. The little girl with pigtails was like this, like a chatty little sun, who crashed into his life recklessly.

"Jiujiu, we'll be home soon!" Ruan Qi suddenly pulled him.

Xi Jiu pulled her thoughts away from her memories and looked forward along Ruan Qi's fingers.

To the right in front of the road is the most beautiful villa in Qingyun Village.

The exterior of the villa is entirely made of wood and is in a neo-Chinese style. It has three floors, with flowers and green plants climbing on the outside of the walls of each floor. Looking around, it looks like a flower farm, full of vitality and beautiful.

Xi Jiu immediately sat up straight: "Is that Baobao's house?"

"Yes, that's my home." Ruan Qi stared at the three-story building with bright eyes and said to Xi Jiu with a smile, "Actually, when my parents first settled in Qingyun Village, the economic conditions in the village were not good. They were all bungalows. Later, when my parents became prosperous, they boosted the whole village's economy, and everyone's life gradually improved. My family's small villa was also rebuilt later. When I was born, there were only two large tile-roofed houses in the family."

As soon as he said this, the driving car stopped steadily in front of Ruan's house.

The four cars driven by the Ruan family were all black Cullinans. They stop one after another, arranged neatly, and their black, domineering and luxurious appearance shines in the sun.

Several families living near Ruan's house heard the sound of brakes and took a look outside.

Five minutes later, everyone in the village knew that the biggest boss in Qingyun Village was back!
