Lin You covered her scarf, her little face as big as a palm was stuck in the fur collar of the down jacket. He heard the voices and turned his head hard, and his clumsy movements made the other party laugh.

The girl with short hair is wearing an old-fashioned cotton jacket, with a little dark skin and a heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes. Compared to Lin You who is wearing a down jacket, this girl is obviously better, and the black cotton jacket on her body is open.

She got off the tricycle quickly and jumped in front of Lin You a few times, which scared Lin You.

"Big star, don't you know me anymore?"

Lin You tried hard to identify whether the "big star" in the other party's words were laughing or mocking, and the other party had already pouted.

"What, I don't even remember."

Lin You took out a person's name from his long-standing memory in confusion, and slapped a few dusts before saying it: "Yao...Yao Jiu?"

The original owner's former high school classmate, because his father loved drinking, he had no choice but to choose the word "白" as his name. At that time, the two studied in the middle school in the town together, and they always went to school and after school. However, after graduation, the original owner went to the university in the provincial capital, and Yao Jiu stayed in the local area to study for a junior college.

Yao Jiu laughed a few times: "Let's go, let's get in the car."

Yao Jiu easily put her luggage on the tricycle and found a small stool from the empty basket on the car: "Hey, remember to help me when I sit on it."

Before Lin You came back, she thought about meeting someone the original owner knew, but she didn't expect to meet her former classmates as soon as she arrived in the town. However, she was not worried that the other party could see any difference.

After all, I have been graduating for ten years, and the original owner rarely comes back after going to college. It is natural that there is a change in his personality.

"Xiaojiu, why are you here?"

Yao Jiu rode on the electric tricycle with a relaxed tone: "You call Aunt Wang, it's impossible for Aunt Wang to come at such a big age."

Of course Lin You knew, so when she called, she only asked if she could bother the young people in the village to pick her up.

Yao Jiu: "What do you think, now in our village, there are only a few young people. Some of them have to take care of their children at home. Look, I can only pick you up."

The two chatted casually on the way, and Lin You then realized that Lianhua Township, as a small village, had the same dilemma of most villages. Young people left one by one. Anyone who got married in the village tried to move to the county town to live, and even if they were not good, they moved to Fangping Town. Now there are only dozens of families left in the village, most of whom are in their forties and fifties.

Yao Jiu: "I didn't leave because my father was not in good health and always got sick when he moved to the foot of the mountain. So I lived in the village, helped me grow some vegetables at home, and also named an accountant to run errands and other things in our village."

"But you, this time I'm going to take a break?"

Lin You smiled and said, "No, I'm not going to leave when I come back this time."

Yao Jiu was shocked: "I won't leave? I won't film anymore?"

Lin You: "I won't take pictures."

Perhaps because he had heard a lot of gossips in the entertainment industry, Yao Jiu asked carefully: "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Lin You smiled on his face: "I've had enough troubles, so I want to come back to farm."

That's right? Lin You was used to being lazy in his previous life. When he first came over, he still had a social observer mentality. He thought that he would slowly talk about the original owner's contract termination and experience the starry sky in the entertainment industry and just shine for one person. It's also a good feeling.

But the notice on the first day that had been running for twenty hours scared her.

Even during the meal, I was given a mission to airborne the fan group, which was called "Gu Fan".

Forget it, Lin You called the company on the spot to submit an agreement.

She couldn't live that kind of life even though she could not live a day.

"After all these years, I feel that everything is false. Only three meals a day and eight hours of sleep a day are true."

Lin You said it sincerely: "So when I come back this time, I plan to take root here."

Yao Jiu's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing. I just couldn't stand the days in the city before I came back."

I think she went out to wander in the past few years after graduation, but in the end she chose to return home. Isn’t that just because of this?

The two of them chatted all the way, and they tacitly stopped talking about the past events in the entertainment industry, but talked about their classmates back then.

Lin You didn't remember much, so he just listened more and said less. The memories in his mind were like processed images, slowly becoming clearer.

"The little fat man in our class now runs a decoration company in Jingshui County. Tsk tsk, he carries a black bag everywhere, so he is so stylish..."

"There is also the Mazi who often sleeps in the back of the classroom. She married Miaomiao in our class and her children are all in kindergarten..."

...

The electric tricycle winds up the mountain road and stops until it reaches the mountain.

"arrive!"

Yao Jiu enthusiastically sent Lin You to the door of her old house: "I'll send the things everyone wants on the tricycle first, and I'll come and help you clean up later."

Now she takes the vegetables from her family to Fangping Town every morning to sell them. When she comes back, she always helps the villagers with some needles and threads.

Lin You thanked Yao Jiu and turned his head before looking at the old house in front of him that had been unoccupied for a long time.

The original owner's family situation is very simple. His parents died in a car accident in their early years, leaving only the original owner and her grandmother in the family. When the original owner's grandmother was still alive, he took the money paid by the driver to renovate the house and built a two-story building.

At that time, there were not many families in the village who could build small buildings, and the two-story building of the original owner's house seemed unique around it.

However, later, the original owner died when he was in college, and the house was no longer inhabited, and it gradually became much more dilapidated.

Lin You found the key to his hometown and took some effort to open the lock. The iron door was covered with a thick layer of rust, and even the hinge was rusted, which made her push it open with great effort.

The yard can no longer recognize the appearance in my memory, because the yard is full of weeds half a person tall, and because it is early spring, the grass is all dry and yellow. This makes Lin You breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise the lush weeds in the yard would have to be a little "small surprise". On the other side of the yard is a single kitchen, and the middle is a second floor. The area of ​​the yard is quite large, so the second floor does not seem depressing.

Lin You carefully walked around the weeds and walked through the yard to open the door of the main house.

I choked on the dust as soon as I opened the door. The decorations in the house did not change much, but the furniture was inevitably damp and had some mold spots.

Lin You carefully walked around the upstairs. When the original owner's grandmother passed away, the original owner had not entered the entertainment industry and the conditions were not very good. There were two rooms on the first floor, with various furniture and farm tools. The second floor was dry, with bed sheets, quilt covers and some daily necessities on the upper floor.

Lin You put the suitcase into the room, found the worn sheets from the second floor to make a rag, and then found a sickle and a broom. He changed into light clothes and started cleaning. Halfway through the weeds in the yard, he heard Yao Jiu's voice.

Yao Jiu not only came by himself, but also followed several people.

Aunt Wang and Lin You's old neighbors have been a long time since Lin You's family, and they have the best relationship with Grandma Lin You. They built the house before moving to the other side of the village, and now they are busy following them.

He pulled Lin You to look around, tears in his eyes: "If your grandma saw you like this now, she would definitely be happy. She has grown into a big girl."

Somehow, a heat suddenly surged in Lin You's heart, which made her want to shed tears.

She subconsciously got closer to Aunt Wang, and when she greeted her, she felt like she was choking in her throat.

"When I'm packing up, I'll go to my grandma's grave to take a look."

Aunt Wang held her hand tightly and nodded vigorously.

Most of the people Yao Jiu called to watch Lin You grow up. Lin You called him one by one, and the other party responded enthusiastically.

"Oh, Youyou has grown up."

"It's great to come back. You're so thin, you have to have a good meal."

"Stop talking, clean up the girl first. Youyou, go to my place to get whatever you lack at home, and use it tightly first."

...

A group of people always come faster than a single person. In a short while, Lin You's yard was cleaned up. All the weeds were wiped out, the doors and windows were wiped out, and the dust in the room was dusted off.

Yao Jiu even brought deworming powder from home and sprinkled it around the base of the yard wall.

"Go to buy some rat poison tomorrow. I see there seems to be a rat hole in the corner of your wall."

Lin You pondered for a moment: "Let's just hold a cat."

She had a shadow on rat poison. In her previous life, a child in her hometown accidentally touched rat poison and ate things, which eventually led to a tragedy.

"That's fine. Uncle Yang's cat is pregnant this year and will be able to hold it in a while."

Uncle Yang scratched his head and laughed: "My big raccoon catches mice is amazing."

Yao Jiu secretly complained to Lin You: "The big raccoon has almost caught the rats in our village. I see, it won't take long to catch fish by the river and eat it."

Lin You smiled: "That happens to be right. I like fishing. Let's go back and have a meal for it."

It was already noon after cleaning up, and Lin You's stove had to be dried before it could be used. Yao Jiu simply asked everyone to go to their home for dinner together.

"My family kills chickens at noon and eat them together."

Life is getting better now, and the favors in the village are still as strong as you can give them some food, so few people are polite to Yao Jiu’s proposal.

It took less than an hour for free-range chicken to kill chickens and reduce hairs to put them in the pot. The tender chicken does not need to be blanched. The ground pot has a large stove and a wide oil. After the pot is opened, the chicken pieces are put into the pot. The chicken pieces are instantly dyed with a brown color. Fry evenly and add various seasonings.

Yao Jiu was quick to enter the kitchen with a small bottle of white wine, and behind her was her father's angry scolding.

Yao Jiu turned a blind eye to it and poured it into the pot: "It's better to add some white wine."

Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for more than ten minutes. Finally, pour half of the pot of potatoes, onions, green peppers. The sauce aroma of the chicken fills the nose. Just stew it a little, the potatoes, onions and green peppers will be stained with the sauce color of the chicken. Wait until the potatoes are soft and the sauce is closed over high heat, leaving a little rich sauce on the bottom of the pot, sprinkle a handful of scallion cilantro on the top.

With bright-colored chicken and rich and seductive soup, Lin You just felt that he had never been so hungry.

The white hand-rolled noodles were churned in the pot for a few times, and used chopsticks to put them in a large bowl, and then poured a spoonful of fried chicken with soup and meat on it. The edges of the potatoes had become blurred powdery particles, and the soup was hung on the noodles. The instant they were put into the mouth, the taste and satisfaction reached the taste buds. Even the vegetables used to enhance the color in the noodles had a charming and unstoppable fragrance.

Lin You finished eating a large bowl of noodles with his eyes shining, and his stomach was already very full, but he insisted on handing out the bowl: "Another bowl!"

...

After lunch, everyone went home to rest.

Lin You was very supportive, and Yao Jiu accompanied her home to clean up.

"Youyou, do you have any plans for you to come back this time?"

Lin You was filled with his mind and slowly said: "Yes, I plan to plant some land and... let's do live broadcasts."
