Chapter 5 Cleaning the old house
Zhang Ruoran slept until nine o'clock before getting up.

Although I only slept for five hours, when I opened my eyes and woke up, I felt refreshed.

This is the benefit of spiritual nourishment.

Although there is no obvious increase in combat effectiveness, the thin spiritual energy running in the body brings value that is hard to change.

For example, Zhang Ruanruan's life span is longer than before. It is estimated that she will look as fair and tender by the time she is 30 years old.

I also have more energy and energy. Even if I only sleep for three to five hours a day, I will not feel sleepy or have dark circles under my eyes.

Feeling refreshed, Zhang Ruanruan turned over and picked up her mobile phone on the bedside table.

When I clicked on it, there were more than a dozen unread messages.

They are all from Feng Nuan years.

07.35: Good morning my dear.

07.38: Not up yet.

08.00: Smiling emoticon.

08.13: Did you double queue with a man behind my back last night?
08.20: OK.You don’t reply to messages, do you?

08.33: Zhang Ruoruan, are you dead?
09.00: No need to reply to me. I ordered ten fried dough sticks and I’ll do it myself.

……

……

Zhang Ruanruan typed sideways, not afraid of squinting: "I just woke up and I'm still lying down."

"You can get ready to come over. See you at the same place. Call me when you're almost there."

The old place Zhang Ruoruan mentioned was the station in the town.

In the past, when Feng Nuannian came to play with her, he would take the bus there, and then Zhang Ruoruan would ride an electric bike to pick her up.

Zhang Ruanruan, who sent the message, got up and washed up and had breakfast, leaving his cell phone buzzing on the bed.

an hour later.

Zhang Ruoruan rode a Yadi electric car and left home.

Zhang Yangyang bought this electric car two years ago, but since he took out a loan to buy a car, the car has been left at home and has not been driven much.

Now, Zhang Ruoruan has commandeered it, and this will be her special car from now on.

In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Ruanruan arrived at the station.

Feng Nuannian was already waiting for her on the roadside. When he saw Zhang Ruoruan approaching, he jumped into the back seat.

Zhang Ruoruan handed her a helmet and set off.

The warm morning breeze blew their hair, which was very pleasant.

"Do your parents really agree with you returning to your hometown to farm?"

Feng Nuannian still can’t believe it.

"Of course."

Zhang Ruoruan nodded, and then told Feng Nuannian the story of how his cousin lost [-] yuan and owed another [-] yuan in debt.

"Then I understand!" Feng Nuannian was fine.

At the same restless age, Zhang Ruanruan's business only cost a few hundred or even thousands. Compared with other people's start-up capital of 20 or [-], Zhang Ruanruan's parents would naturally not have any objections.

Of course, there is actually another reason behind this agreement.

It's just that Zhang Ruanruan's parents didn't say anything clearly.

Zhang Ruoruan told Feng Nuannian another story about another person.

That is the story of the daughter of an old classmate of Zhang Jianguo.

She also graduated from high school, but her daughter chose to go out to work.

Then, I was seduced by a male colleague from other provinces and married to a place thousands of kilometers away. I haven’t been back for more than two years. I don’t know whether I am living well there or whether I have been bullied.

Therefore, in Zhang Jianguo's view, on the one hand, Zhang Ruanruan's farming at home has low trial and error costs, and on the other hand, it greatly reduces the possibility of Zhang Ruanruan getting to know people from other provinces.

If you don't know people from other provinces, you won't marry outside.

In this way, I won't be bullied by my husband's family in the future, and there will be no one behind me.

"what."

Feng Nuannian covered his mouth and was stunned.She was still a child at heart and could never imagine that it was so far-reaching and complicated.

Now listening to what Zhang Ruanruan said, Feng Nuannian also thought of something.

That's what her parents said when they agreed to let her work during the summer vacation. It's okay to work, but she must not fall in love.Now that I think about it, the reason behind not being able to fall in love is that she is afraid that she will meet someone from other provinces while working and then marry outside.

Feng Nuannian shuddered at the thought of living alone in a foreign province without being able to see his parents or friends for several years.

"Ruanruan, you must not marry outside in the future."

Feng Nuannian hugged Zhang Ruanruan tightly.

She didn't want to be thousands of kilometers away from Zhang Ruanruan and not see each other for several years.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee this."

Zhang Ruoran smiled.

Marry outside?It's ridiculous, she won't marry at all.

……

Zhang Ruoruan drove for 10 minutes, from the cement road to the dirt road, and returned to his hometown.

Qingping Village.

The village is not big and there are very few people there. Basically only the old people remain here.

Zhang Ruoruan stopped the electric car in front of a large yard.

No. 22, Qingping Village, this is her family’s old house.

Open the door with the key, and you can see that the yard is very large, more than [-] square meters.In the middle of the yard, there is a small one-story one-story bungalow.

This is the place where Zhang Ruanruan's grandparents used to live. Now that they are gone, they are free.

The small bungalow has a total of three entrances. The one in the middle is the bedroom, one on both sides is the kitchen, and the other is the utility room.

"It's all grown grass."

Feng Nuannian commented.

It can be seen that no one has lived in this courtyard for a long time.

Except for the cement floor in front of the bungalow, the rest of the place was covered with weeds, some of which were taller than people.

However, there is still a way to go.

Because Zhang Jianguo often comes back to pick up farm tools such as hoes in the utility room.

Zhang Ruoruan took the key that Zhang Jianguo asked for and opened the three doors.

In addition to the utility room that was frequently opened and closed, the air in the kitchen and bedroom was particularly turbid, with a smell of dust and mold blowing into my face.

Zhang Ruoruan walked in holding her nose and opened the windows.

"I haven't lived here for a long time." Feng Nuannian followed like a spoiled wife.

"I just came back during the Chinese New Year and posted some couplets, and stayed there for a long time." Zhang Ruoruan nodded.

This is a very common phenomenon in rural areas now, and it’s not just Zhang Ruoruan’s family.

As the elderly in the family leave, the house in their hometown becomes a decoration.

During the holidays, the bustle of three generations living under one roof is no longer visible, only dilapidation and desolation remain.

"What should we do first?"

Feng Nuannian found that he had no way of starting.

You have to do whatever you see, and then you don’t know what to do.

"Let's weed the grass under the shade trees first."

The air in the house was too turbid, Zhang Ruoruan thought it would be better to deal with the outside first.

"Okay." Feng Nuannian nodded, then ran to the corner of the yard and took a short video of the yard.

Zhang Ruoruan understood what she meant, which was to record the original appearance of the yard.

Zhang Ruanruan let her take the picture slowly, then turned and went into the utility room to get a hoe.

The ground in the yard of the old house is not all cement, but there are several varieties of fruit trees planted there.

Yellow peel, longan, mango, grapefruit, persimmon.

Behind the house, there are jackfruit and peach trees.

Now, what Zhang Ruoruan and Feng Nuannian have to do is to shovel the weeds under the trees.

Zhang Ruoruan's first step back home to farm has begun.
