01Inheritance
"Stop and go along the way
Follow the traces of youth drifting
The moment before stepping out of the station
A little hesitant
I can't help but laugh at this cowardice of being close to home.
Still unavoidable
And the sky in Nagano
Still so warm
The wind blew from the past..."
With the song "The Wind Rises" playing in her headphones, Shen Wanwan walked out of the crowded train station carrying her suitcase.
Rejecting the unlicensed taxi drivers who wanted to hire customers, she found a regular taxi. After getting on the taxi, she said, "Master, please go to Aomori Minami Bus Station."
"Okay!" the taxi driver responded, then pressed down the empty sign and drove Shen Wanwan to the South Bus Station.
Aomori City is located in Province G in southwest China. It is a small third- and fourth-tier city that experiences continuous rain all year round.
Shen Wanwan came to the South Railway Station and bought a ticket to Huaxi Valley Town.
Huaxi Valley Town is her grandmother's home. Just like its name, there are many flowers and streams.
Huaxi Valley Town can be said to be the wealthiest town in the entire G Province, because it is home to one of the world's top private biotechnology research institutes and the headquarters of the company that owns the research institute, Time and Space Giant Biotechnology.
Except for a few indigenous people, most of them are employees and researchers of biotechnology companies.
Huaxi Valley Town is more of an industrial park than a town.
Because the former town has been occupied by the space-time giant biotechnology company, the indigenous people live in the only remaining village called Fuxing Village.
Shen Wanwan’s grandma’s house is at the end of this village.
…
Because she was coming back for a permanent stay this time, she brought two oversized suitcases. So when she arrived at the bus station in Huaxi Valley, she found a tricycle driver outside the station to take her back.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Shen Wanwan scanned the QR code to pay the fare, then dragged her two large suitcases into the village with difficulty!
…
She had just walked a few steps when her phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, Shen Wanwan ignored it and kept walking towards the village.
Grandma's house is quite far from the entrance of the village, so it takes some time to get there.
After walking for a while, she heard the sound of an electric tricycle.
As the car approached, she saw a boy with bright red hair.
"Hi! Are you Shen Wanwan?"
Shen Wanwan nodded, "I am, who are you?"
The red-haired guy introduced himself and said, "My name is He Nan. My house is a neighbor of your grandma's house. You even called my grandma a few days ago!"
Hearing this, Shen Wanwan smiled and said, "Are you Grandma Jiang's grandson?"
"Yes, I'm a little older than you, just call me Brother Nan! My grandma said you would be back today and asked me to pick you up at the station! I didn't expect you to arrive first!"
"Excuse me, I'm already here, so you don't need to make a special trip to the station!"
"Hey, put your luggage up and I'll take you back."
Shen Wanwan smiled and nodded, and with his help, she loaded her luggage onto the tricycle, then sat next to him and headed towards her grandma's house.
Shen Wanwan's memories of Huaxi Valley Town are only humid and endless rainy days. She didn't like it very much when she was a child because there was too little sunshine.
Unexpectedly, after graduating from college, she would return to a place she didn't like very much when she was a child.
Come to think of it, it’s fate!
With the tricycle, Shen Wanwan soon saw the old house where she had lived for several years as a child.
He Nan brought Shen Wanwan to his house. Although Grandma Jiang was old, she had clear ears and eyesight. When she heard the sound of the tricycle, she thought that He Nan's brat was lazy and returned quietly.
So I found a stick and prepared to beat him up.
But when she came out and saw Shen Wanwan next to him, Grandma Jiang threw away the stick, and with a kind face, she grabbed Shen Wanwan's hand and said, "Wanwan! Do you still remember me?"
Shen Wanwan looked at the kind Grandma Jiang, smiled and said: "Hello Grandma Jiang, I remember it."
Grandma Jiang held her and talked for a long time, then patted He Nan and said, "You brat, why are you standing there in a daze? Go to the chicken pen and catch an old hen and kill it."
Upon hearing that the chicken was about to be killed, Shen Wanwan quickly refused: "No, Grandma Jiang, I have to go back and clean."
"After cleaning, come to grandma's place for dinner. There is nothing at your place right now. That's settled! Grandma will kill a chicken for you to eat. It's an old hen for several years. It tastes delicious!"
Grandma Jiang's enthusiasm made it a little difficult for Shen Wanwan to adapt, but she could also feel welcomed by the elderly.
So he said: "Then I will shamelessly enjoy a delicious meal!"
After sitting at Grandma Jiang's house for a while, Shen Wanwan went home and took a look.
She found the key and unlocked the door. The door was a bit old and not very flexible. Shen Wanwan kicked it before opening the door.
Looking at everything familiar in the yard, Shen Wanwan seemed to see the figure of her grandmother.
Unknowingly, she was in tears.
She only found out about her grandmother's death recently. She didn't expect that Ms. Shen would hide it from her for so long!
If the lawyer hadn't come to her door, maybe Ms. Shen would still be hiding it from her!
…
A month ago, Shen Wanwan was approached by a lawyer named Huang on the second day after graduating from college.
At first she thought she had met a liar, but later she found out that her grandmother had passed away in her second year of college and had left the house in Fuxing Village and her little savings to Shen Wan in her will. bend.
And her mother, Ms. Shen, didn't care about this little money, so Shen Wanwan inherited it smoothly.
And even if Ms. Shen wanted to stop it, it would be useless because she had never supported her elderly mother, so she was not qualified to inherit.
Grandma not only left her a legacy, but also left her a letter, saying that she had hidden something very important in the house and hoped she could find it.
Shen Wanwan was confused, but when she saw the code at the end of the letter, she immediately understood.
…
After reminiscing, Shen Wanwan walked into the house and opened the door to the main room.
The door, which had not been opened for a long time, made a dull sound, and then a pile of dust rushed towards the door.
Shen Wanwan had anticipated this and put on a hat and mask when she opened the door.
Turning on the lights and covering the furniture with dust-proof white cloth, she walked towards her grandmother's room in the main house, and then found the things mentioned in her grandmother's letter in the hidden compartment of the dressing table.
There is also a letter at the same time.
Shen Wanwan did not see what the thing was first, but opened the letter and read it first.
【Wanwan, Zhan Xinjia.
When you read this letter, grandma is no longer here.
You haven't liked the rainy weather here in Huaxi Valley since you were a child, so when you wanted to leave with your mother, I didn't stop you.
And I think big cities have better education, and maybe you will have a better life there.
After knowing that I was dying, I specifically found a lawyer and asked him to wait until you graduate from college before looking for you, because I knew that your mother would definitely not tell you about my death.
After all, your mother always thinks I'm a crazy woman who talks too much.
If you can see this letter, it means that your life there is not good, and your grandma is also very happy that you are willing to come back here.
The next road needs to be walked by yourself!
Wanwan, grandma will not harm you. You must keep the contents in the box secret and don’t tell anyone.
Find a time and put a drop of blood on it, you will be surprised!
You can't tell other grandma, everything has to be explored by yourself. If you can inherit the things in the box, then you will see the diary left by your grandma for you.
That’s all, Wanwan, grandma wishes you a wonderful life.】
