The return of the Ruan family was like hot oil dropping onto calm water, setting the entire Qingyun Village ablaze with excitement.
Ruan Qi brought Xi Jiu, and as soon as they got off the car, neighbors around the Ruan family's house opened their doors and came out.
"Is it Old Ruan back?" An old man with white hair, leaning on a cane, wobbled out from the neighboring gate. His gaze first fell on the unfamiliar Xi Jiu, then quickly spotted Grandpa Ruan stepping out from the passenger seat.
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It really is Old Ruan! Brother Ruan, weren't you taken to the Imperial Capital by your son and daughter-in-law? Why have you come back? Couldn't get used to the big city?"
Seeing his old friend again, a smile appeared on the round face of Grandpa Ruan. He explained to the old man, "Living in the Imperial Capital was great. But lately, it's been too hot, so my wife and I came back to escape the heat. We'll return once autumn arrives."
