The most beautiful moment in life is when we first meet someone.

Take advantage of the year before.

Xu Zhimu took Liu Ningqing and Xiao Yiyi back to her hometown.

It has been more than a year since the last flood and mudslide.

Most areas have returned to their previous standards, and many houses are even more beautiful than before.

Moreover, Xu Zhimu has already had his old house built.

The small courtyard at the end of the village that was destroyed by the flood was, after all, the homestead of Liu Ningqing's family, so it was impossible to leave it alone.

Now that it has been renovated, many elderly people in rural areas actually have this kind of thinking.

When my son grows up, the family will be separated.

No matter how good the newly built house is, it should be left for my son and future children to live in. They still like to stay in their old house.

I have walked this mountain road countless times.

Liu Ningqing held Xiao Yiyi in her arms. This was the first time for Xiao Yiyi to return to her great-grandmother's house.

The winding mountains along the way made this little guy lie on the car glass and look out with curiosity.

"This is my mother's hometown. I'm going to see Yiyi's great-grandma soon."

Liu Ningqing smiled and rubbed her daughter's little face.

Little Yiyi also learned to speak: "Mama, grandma..."

"It's grandma, um... I also want to see your grandma together."

Liu Ningqing looked at her daughter's big bright eyes and remembered that her mother must have coaxed her like this before.

But now I can only see my mother through a grave.

"Qingqing, we'll be here soon."

Xu Zhimu also spoke softly at this moment. In front of him, the sign of Xiangyue Town had already appeared in front of him.

"You are so fast now... It used to take a long time, but now it only takes a few hours."

Liu Ningqing looked at the familiar scenery in front of her and sighed a little.

Thinking back to the first time she walked out of this mountain, she had to walk for a long time, then take a bus, and then go to a nearby city and then take a train to get there.

If you are delayed for something, you may go out before dawn, and it will be difficult to get to the place after the sun sets.

But Xu Zhimu felt uncomfortable when he said these words: "Qingqing, from now on, just add the word "driving" in front of these words."

"I'm talking about driving?" Liu Ningqing looked at him innocently.

drive……

All right.

Xu Zhimu looked at the time: "Shall we go back directly now?"

Liu Ningqing hugged little Yiyi, but shook her head slightly: "It's already dinner time, otherwise we can just walk around the town and buy some things on the way."

"also."

Xu Zhimu nodded, so that the old man wouldn't have to bother cooking for them anymore.

The town's terrain is high, so the flood did not cause much damage. Instead, it developed quite well this year because it accepted many refugees and provided a lot of labor force.

Walking on a familiar street, you can see many familiar street stores.

"Where are you going first?"

Xu Zhimu asked.

Liu Ningqing also looked out the window, her eyes shining brightly: "I want to... go there."

She pointed in a direction.

Xu Zhimu looked in that direction, slightly lost in thought, and then smiled: "Listen to my wife."

Xu Zhimu was very familiar with the place he went to.

It was the hotel where Xu Zhimu finally chose to rest after searching everywhere for Liu Ningqing to no avail.

He already knew a little bit about Liu Ningqing's intention of coming here, to revisit his old place.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the decoration was still the same as it was three years ago.

However, this Xu Zhimu came in a luxury car.

As soon as we got off the car, a doorman came over to guide us.

Arriving at the restaurant, Xu Zhimu handed the menu to Liu Ningqing.

"I'm going to make some milk powder for little Yiyi. Just order it."

Liu Ningqing stood up with the bottle in hand. After all, she had been working here for more than a month.

She is quite familiar with this place and knows where the hot water is.

Xu Zhimu nodded, took the menu and started to choose dishes in a decent manner with Xiao Yiyi, who didn't know a word of it.

But obviously, no matter how many delicacies there are, for the current little Yiyi, they are not as delicious as Nana.

In fact, the same is true for Xu Zhimu...

At this moment, Liu Ningqing was holding the bottle, but did not get the hot water first.

Instead, he came to the kitchen.

Many of the chefs and waiters are still the same.

Liu Ningqing even remembered some of their names.

But when they saw Liu Ningqing, none of them dared to step forward and acknowledge her.

Of course, Liu Ningqing has been wearing a mask before, so it's normal that many people don't recognize her. The most important thing is.

Now Liu Ningqing's clothes and overall temperament are no longer the little girl from the mountain village she used to be.

Liu Ningqing doesn't like to wear any jewelry, but the clothes she wears are all custom-made for her by Xu Zhimu. It's the kind of feeling that you don't need to look at the brand, just look at the fabric design to feel that it is valuable.

Moreover, Liu Ningqing's temperament is no longer the little girl she used to be who always lowered her head and didn't even dare to take off her mask.

Elegant and elegant, with a beautiful face, coupled with her unique charm now that she has a child, she has unknowingly acquired an aura that ordinary people dare not approach.

"Those who are cooking the dishes should be quick, and those who are serving the dishes should be more steady. Don't keep the guests waiting."

A middle-aged woman, wearing a lobby manager's suit, directed the kitchen.

Liu Ningqing saw her, smiled slightly and walked over: "Auntie."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the person in front of her who suddenly called her aunt: "Hello, do you need anything?"

She looked at the young man with good temperament in front of her, and she always felt that there was something familiar between his features, but she didn't dare to recognize him for a while.

"Auntie, it's me, Liu Ningqing."

Liu Ningqing looked at the lobby manager in front of her. Three years ago, she was fired from the hotel because the woman in front of her gave her a little more money.

"Liu Ningqing...you, are you Xiao Liu?"

The woman obviously has a deep memory of that beautiful but introverted little girl.

She widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her carefully. Sure enough, if you look carefully at those features, couldn't they be Xiaoliu?

But just now she saw that the other party got out of the luxury car, and judging from her current dress and temperament, she was exactly the same as the little girl who had patched her clothes before!

"It's me." Liu Ningqing smiled and nodded.

"It's really you...the changes are so great that I don't even dare to recognize them. It's so good, so good..."

The woman had mixed feelings in her heart for a moment. It had only been a few years, and by the way, this big city was really nurturing.

"You...are you looking for me for something?"

The woman said, but her tone was still polite, even though the young man in front of her three years ago was just a waiter looking for a job.

But now, she is already a real rich wife.

The luxury car outside the door is something that ordinary people cannot afford to drive in their lifetime.

Liu Ningqing's eyes flickered slightly, she didn't want her to be so polite to her.

Moreover, she has always been grateful for the extra salary she gave her when she was fired.

But now...she also knows that there are some words that are meaningless if left unsaid.

"Auntie, can I use the kitchen? I want to cook a meal myself."

Liu Ningqing expressed her thoughts.

The woman was stunned for a while, and finally nodded: "No problem, I'll make arrangements right now."

Liu Ningqing picked up the rice, chopped green onions, and eggs and began to stir-fry skillfully.
