The car drove all the way out of Xijing. Ji Xinyao felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning on Song Zilian's shoulder.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
Ji Xinyao looked around blankly. Where the car stopped, there was a small road ahead.
"Is your hometown in the village?"
Ji Xinyao was confused. She thought she would be in the city anyway. As long as there were roads and all roads leading to Rome, she could at least run away. Looking at it now, she felt a little dangerous.
"My hometown is, of course, the place where the surname originated. The ancestral halls and ancestral tombs must be guarded by someone, so they cannot be moved casually."
Ji Xinyao nodded to express her understanding. Then, she saw that the person in the car in front had come out and pointed to the path towards them.
"You are so rich, why don't you build lower roads? It would be great to just make it into a new rural area where every door has a road."
Song Zilian shook his head and walked out of the car.
"I don't understand the thoughts of those old antiques, but once you come, you will be at ease, and you won't be able to run away halfway. Let's go."
Ji Xinyao also got out of the car and saw a lot of people standing not far away, as if they were coming to pick them up.
They were uniformly dressed in red jackets, and they didn't look like ordinary people living in the village at all, but more like they were part of a team.
"Do you know them?" Ji Xinyao looked at the group of people, full of confusion.
Song Zilian shook his head, "Actually, I only come here during the holidays, and I'm not familiar with the people here."
The two of them met with Song Zilian's cousin.
"Uncle, aunt, please."
The four of them walked up the mountain together along the path. The group of people in red jackets also said hello to their cousin and gathered around the four of them. The four of them walked along the path for about ten minutes, and there was a cliff in front of them.
After reaching the suspension bridge on the cliff, the road in front of them became much smoother and wider. After walking for a while, they arrived at the place where the villagers lived.
Ji Xinyao originally thought that there were no roads here and thought it would be a real "village", but after all, the Song family was a big family and they had no intention of treating her badly. There were small villas built everywhere, and she didn't know how these building materials were brought in.
"This is the first time I'm here to introduce you. This place used to be called Songjia Village, and they are all members of the Song family." After his cousin told Ji Xinyao, he turned to Song Zilian and said, "Uncle, I will send someone to your house."
To straighten things out, you can go back with me to see my grandpa first, so as not to make him anxious."
Now the person in charge within the Song family is Song Zilian's uncle. Song Zilian was originally the youngest son in the family. If his biological father were still alive, he would be in his sixties now. The uncle is older, in his early seventies, and is still in good health.
He seemed to have been waiting in the living room at home for a long time, drinking tea and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the radio. He stood up when he heard footsteps.
"Zilian, you are here, this is your little girlfriend. Come on, come on, sit down quickly. You have had a hard journey on the road. Don't be tired. Sit down quickly."
Song Zilian was not busy sitting down, and quickly introduced Ji Xinyao, "Xinyao, this is my uncle. Uncle, this is my girlfriend Ji Xinyao."
"Hello, uncle." Ji Xinyao called politely.
"Okay, okay, how can I, a bad old man, be any better than you young people? Did you have a good rest after traveling all night? Are you hungry? My Aunt Wang has prepared breakfast. I'll ask her to bring it to you."
After a while, Aunt Wang served breakfast.
Song Zilian glanced at his cousin Song Jinghao, who had been standing next to his uncle, and said, "Jinghao, please sit down too. He is also tired. He has traveled all day to pick us up."
The uncle glanced at Song Jinghao and said, "Then why are you staying here to watch the excitement? Why don't you go and keep an eye on whether the servants are helping your little uncle tidy up the house? If you don't tidy up quickly, how will the family live?"
Song Jinghao immediately lowered his head in fear, "Yes, grandpa, I'll go right away."
After that, he took off and disappeared.
The uncle looked at Song Zilian and Ji Xinyao again, smiled gently, "Don't worry about him, this guy doesn't like breakfast very much, just eat it."
As a junior, Song Zilian also took the initiative to pick up vegetables for his uncle, "Uncle, you can eat too."
"Okay, I am old and eat slowly and less. You guys should eat more."
The two of them traveled all night and couldn't sleep well in the car. They spent a lot of energy and now they were really hungry.
Aunt Wang is a good cook and the two of them ate with gusto.
At this time, the uncle suddenly said, "By the way, did Jinghao tell you why I came to you?"
The two of them shook their heads together.
It was as if they had been arrested suddenly, with no clue as to the cause and effect.
"Actually, I'm mainly worried about you. I heard that you're not in good health, so I came to see you."
Hearing this reason, Ji Xinyao just wanted to complain, knowing that he was not in good health, she still let him come at night, fearing that she wanted him to die.
Song Zilian grasped the key point, "Who did you listen to?"
Simon, who was standing aside, was afraid that Song Zilian would doubt him, so he immediately defended himself, "Master, it's not me..."
Song Zilian raised his hand to signal him to be silent, and then looked straight at his uncle.
"It shouldn't be the people around me, right?"
"It's true that it's not the people around you, but it's related to the people around you. I also accidentally heard the report from Xijing University yesterday that there seems to be something wrong with your health. Zi Lian, why didn't you tell your uncle? You
Now that your parents are gone, your uncle is the person closest to you, so you should talk to me about everything."
Song Zilian frowned, and he quickly understood where this information leaked from.
"This person really shouldn't be here."
Ji Xinyao lowered her eyes and understood what happened. She immediately turned herself in and said, "I met Xiao Juzi when I went to Xijing University yesterday. She has many fans. I wanted her to apologize to me, and then I angered her."
Song Zilian immediately changed his position in a double standard, "It's okay, he will be discovered sooner or later."
His firm eyes quickly turned to his uncle, "Uncle, thank you for your concern. You see, I'm fine now. I'm in good health. I was a little uncomfortable before, maybe because of love. Now Xinyao is back with me.
The people around me have become much better."
The uncle smiled and said, "You are indeed a young person, and you still have the opportunity to be trapped by love. Zi Lian, do you really like her?"
Song Zilian's eyes were filled with affirmation, "Yes, I like it very much."
"How much do you like it?"
"It has to be her."
The uncle breathed a sigh of satisfaction, "Then I'm relieved, it's good. Young people can have lovers and get married eventually, and we elders are also happy to see it."
After he finished speaking, a few more people suddenly walked into the room, carrying a lot of equipment, and stood behind the uncle.
"Zilian, you are my brother's only daughter and the current leader in the Song family's business. Your health cannot be compromised. Uncle, I have specially invited many doctors from outside the village to give you a good check-up.
.Be obedient and don’t let me worry."
After saying that, he waved to the doctor and said to Simon, "You are tired too. You are not much younger than me and you have to work hard for my nephew every day. Go and rest. Don't worry about it."
It’s here.”
"Master, I'm fine. I can stay with my young master..."
When the uncle saw that he was not leaving, his voice suddenly became stern, "I don't need your company here, get out!"
