The fourth uncle's audition was successful, the third uncle's injury was almost healed, and it was time for An An to go home with her family.
Before leaving, she made a hundred dumplings, a hundred steamed buns, and a hundred shaomai for Ning Zhe. They were all sealed in bags and frozen in the refrigerator.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. If Uncle Ning and Aunt Kou are not at home, and you don't want to go out to eat, you can make some steamed buns, dumplings or something.
You have to eat well and see how thin you are."
An An gave instructions like a big sister.
Ning Zhe was still lying there reading the comic book, and after a while he silently responded.
"Well, I understand."
An An saw that he seemed quite calm and had nothing to say, so she said goodbye to him and went upstairs to sleep.
Early the next morning, grandma had already packed her luggage, and Uncle Ning took a day off and planned to drive them to the train station.
Although I took my father's big truck when I came here, this time my second uncle specially asked for leave and planned to take Sister Yang with me. Oh no, I can't call Sister Yang now.
She and her second uncle had a relationship, and that would be her future second aunt.
The second aunt was a girl and it was not comfortable to ride in a large truck, and the third uncle's legs were not convenient for riding in a truck for a long time, so they had to buy train tickets to go back.
Before leaving, An An placed a folded peace charm on the bedside before going out.
There have always been dark clouds hanging over Ning Zhe's head. She was so unlucky that even she couldn't do anything. She just hoped that this peace charm could be of some help to him.
"Let's go now and stay for a few more days."
"No, no, the land in the village is all deserted, and we have entrusted people to take care of our livestock. We don't know what's going on. It's really hard for you to take care of them during this period."
"It's no trouble. Qiu Shan and I both like you here very much. It's lively and lively when we come back. I'm afraid I'm not used to it now that we're gone."
The adults said goodbye, but Auntie Kou wiped her tears while talking.
Uncle Ning put his arm around Aunt Kou's shoulders and patted her to express comfort.
"Old Ning!"
Just at this time, someone came.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are there so many people?"
It was a man who looked to be about the same age as Uncle Ning. He was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked quite elegant. When he saw the Lu family, his words also had a bit of joking humor.
"Tan He, why are you here?"
Uncle Ning stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
He held the man's shoulder and looked enthusiastic.
"Hey, you forgot the bidding information in my car yesterday. I'll bring it to you."
The man spoke and handed Uncle Ning a document bag.
An An, on the other hand, had been fixated on the man from the moment he appeared.
This man is so strange...
His body seemed to be shrouded in a vague black aura, but his forehead was smooth and shining red.
An An has been able to see good and evil since she was born, but she has never seen a man with a face like this.
Ning Qiushan said from the side: "Oh, I haven't introduced you yet. Do you remember the little girl I told you earlier who saved Azhe's life?"
As he spoke, he pushed An An in front of him.
"ah……"
The man seemed to suddenly realize it.
He squatted in front of An An: "So it was you who saved Azhe, little girl."
He repeated it again.
It was obviously a very kind tone, but it made An An feel inexplicably scared.
"It's me." An An said.
"Thank you, little girl. Azhe is my godson. If you save Azhe, it is equivalent to saving me." As the man spoke, he reached out and touched An An's head.
An An only felt a little creepy.
She pulled Ningqiu Shan.
"Uncle Ning, let's go."
"Otherwise I won't be able to catch the train."
"Okay, okay..." Uncle Ning responded, and looked up at the man with some embarrassment: "Tan He, look, I have something to do today, so I won't entertain you."
"It's okay, it's okay, we are two brothers, why do we have to say this?"
That man looked generous.
When Ning Qiushan heard this, he helped the Lu family put their luggage in the trunk and drove them away.
Obviously, this man named Tan was an insignificant incident before leaving this morning. Almost no one paid attention to it, and no one mentioned him in the car.
But An An has always been worried about this man.
After a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Ning, is this your good friend who came here this morning?" She leaned forward, put her hands on Uncle Ning's driver's seat and poked her head to ask.
"Yes." Uncle Ning replied casually while driving.
"Friends of many years?"
"Many years." Uncle Ning thought of this and couldn't help but recall: "It must have been... ten or twenty years."
"He is a very kind and generous person. When I was young, I traveled around to sell goods, which was not allowed at that time. I was almost caught by the police once. If he hadn't helped distract the police, I might still be in jail."
"Oh, really..."
Hearing what Uncle Ning said, An An completely shut up.
After all, she didn't have any concrete evidence, so it was a bit abrupt to say this for no reason.
"arrive."
Uncle Ning stopped the car, got out of the car and went to the trunk to get his luggage.
He escorted them all the way to the ticket gate.
There were a lot of people at the train station, and Chu Yaqian was afraid that An An would get lost, so she kept holding her hand tightly.
When he got to the ticket gate, he said, "An'an, say goodbye to Uncle Ning and Brother Ning Zhe."
"Um."
An An stood in front of the ticket gate and waved to Uncle Ning and Ning Zhe: "Goodbye, Uncle Ning, and goodbye, brother Ningzhe."
Ning Qiu Shan also waved to An An.
Ning Zhe seemed to be in a daze, standing there with no reaction.
Seeing him like this, An An said nothing more, took her mother's hand, turned around and entered the security checkpoint.
"Xiao Zhe, don't you have anything to say to An An? If you don't say it now, you won't have a chance in the future." At this time, Ning Qiushan said to Ning Zhe.
"Now that An An is gone, I don't know when he will come back."
Ning Zhe lowered his head and remained silent.
In fact, he prepared a gift for An An.
They are a pair of ceramic dolls, one male and one female. They are small, about half the size of An An's hand, but they are exquisite.
Especially the female doll, with black hair, chubby hair, and two croissants, she looked exactly like An An.
Ning Zhe thought of An An when he saw this doll in the mall.
But...he didn't want to give it to her.
He didn't want to tell her, he couldn't bear it.
Even if you say it, what will happen? You don’t have to leave what you should leave, and you don’t have to lose what you should lose.
He was originally a coward. He was used to being alone and lonely. He had been doing this all these years, as if he were in a box, wrapping himself tightly.
He didn't want to open a hole.
Longing for friends, longing for love and so on is the most tragic thing.
Ning Zhe looked down at the pair of little dolls.
Huh?
Why did the little doll suddenly have water droplets on its face?
He wiped it off with his finger, but another drop "grew" on it.
A string in my heart snapped.
"An'an..."
He suddenly raised his head, looked at the little girl in front of him and called out.
He didn't want to be a coward anymore. It turned out that even if he hid, he would be sad and sad.
