The weather in the morning was a bit cold, and the passers-by breathed white and looked hurried.

But luckily the sun is still shining.

When he came to the gate of the complex, the van driven by Hong Feng was already waiting there. Xiao Cheng put Nan Nan on the back seat, fastened his seat belt carefully, and then raised his eyebrows at Hong Feng who turned his head to look over.

"Brother Feng, your progress is too slow, you have to work harder!"

Hong Feng stared, pretending to be angry and said: "Go away, you think I'm your kid, get out of the car quickly, Nan Nan will be late for school later."

"Playing with my buddies and getting angry, right? Be careful, I'll sue Teacher Dong..." Xiao Cheng tilted his head to avoid a mineral water bottle thrown by Hong Feng, smiled, got out of the car and closed the door.

The van left slowly and gradually disappeared.

Xiao Cheng turned around and went straight to the unit.

I got a mission, caught two little gangsters, basked in the sun in the cafeteria, and another day passed.

When they got home, Hong Feng had already sent Nan Nan back. The little girl was obediently doing her homework on the dining table, while Hong Feng was sitting in the living room chatting with Da Xiong.

Xiao Cheng greeted the two of them, then went to poke Xiao Nannan a few times, then changed his coat and sat down.

"Q!"

Xiao Cheng grabbed a piece of watermelon from the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth: "Do you know where Aunt Zhang's hometown is?"

Not to mention, eating watermelon in winter has a special taste, Xiao Cheng swallowed it in two mouthfuls, and grabbed another piece from the fruit plate.

"I do not know either……"

Even after work, Hong Feng still sat upright and replied solemnly: "I only know that Mr. Zhang's hometown is Lanling City, Binhai United Region. What's the matter? What's the matter with you?"

"Pfft..." Xiao Cheng spat out the watermelon seeds, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just curiosity."

Hong Feng nodded noncommittally, and didn't ask any more questions.

Da Xiong had already prepared the meal and waited for Xiao Cheng to come back, so he hurriedly greeted everyone for dinner.

Hong Feng stayed and drank two bottles of beer, chatted with a few people for a while after the meal, and then got up to leave.

Seeing off Hong Feng, the three stared again. Xiao Cheng saw that it was not early today, so he simply asked Nan Nan to wash up and go to bed.

The little girl might be sleepy today, she climbed onto the bed in her bunny pajamas, she didn't pester Xiao Cheng to tell a story, she fell into a deep sleep in less than 2 minutes.

"Ha ha……"

Xiao Cheng smiled, it was a child after all, probably because he was tired from playing in kindergarten today.

After thinking about it, he picked up a novel from the bedside table and flipped through it casually.

After watching his eyelids fight for a while, Xiao Cheng got out of bed and turned off the lights. The room was suddenly dark, only the sound of Nan Nan's even breathing could be heard.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Shunian and Zhang Yujin didn't come back, not even a phone call.

Why is there no news about this old couple... After dinner in the evening, Da Xiong cleaned up as usual, Nan Nanwo watched cartoons on the sofa, Xiao Cheng stared at the TV, but his thoughts had already flown to other places.

Before leaving, Mr. Zhang said that he would definitely come back in three days or five days. Now that three days have passed, not only has there been no one, but no news has come back.

There seems to be something wrong with this.

It stands to reason that when you are free at night, you should ask about Nan Nan's situation.

Even if Mr. Zhang forgets, Aunt Zhang will never forget!

But until now, I haven't even returned a call. What can I do to be so busy?
Xiao Cheng peeked at Nan Nan, and found that although Nan Nan was watching his favorite cartoon, he didn't have any smile, and his pink face was tense.

This little girl, Nan Nan, probably misses her grandparents too, right?

She should have never been separated from Mr. Zhang for so long.

Although it was only three days, three days was long enough for a child.

And Nan Nan lost her parents, so she must be more sensitive than other children.

Maybe she's worried that her grandparents won't want her either...

Xiao Cheng glanced at the sullen Nan Nan, rubbed over on the sofa, and jokingly said, "Nan Nan, you always say I'm naive, and the cartoon you're watching is more naive than anyone else!"

These days Xiao Cheng often teases Nan Nan in this way, as long as he utters a word, he will be ridiculed repeatedly by Nan Nan.

But today, Nan Nan was surprisingly silent, as if she hadn't heard Xiao Cheng's words, she was still staring at the TV in a daze.

Nan Nan... Xiao Cheng's heart ached inexplicably. He knew that he had guessed right. At this time, Nan Nan must be worried, worried that he would lose his loved one again.

Just about to continue speaking, Nan Nan looked at the TV and asked in a low voice, "Dad, when do you think grandpa and grandma will come back?"

Sure enough... Xiao Cheng hurriedly replied: "Didn't grandpa and grandma say that when they left, at least three days, at most five days, today is only the third day, and it is estimated that they will return in two days at most."

"But why didn't they even call back?" Nan Nan's voice was leisurely, as if floating from a very far away place.

"Grandpa and grandma are going to do business, so they must be very busy. Don't worry, Nannan, they will definitely come back in a day or two!"

"Oh……"

Nan Nan nodded lightly, tilted his head and thought for a while, picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, and then walked towards the bathroom unsteadily, saying incessantly: "Wash your face early and go to bed early, and I will pass early today." , Grandpa and grandma can come back soon..."

Xiao Cheng looked at the little figure, took a deep breath, and then followed with a smile on his face: "Go to bed early and wake up early to be healthy, today I will tell you a story about pirates hunting for treasure!"

"Don't listen to the story today, go to bed early, today will pass early, and grandpa and grandma will come back early!"

Nan Nan still said the same thing just now, washed himself up and climbed onto the bed, and closed his eyes directly.

"..."

Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Nannan who was closing his eyes forcefully, frowned, got up and turned off the light...

The next day, Xiao Cheng was woken up by Nan Nan.

Look at the time, it's not yet six o'clock in the morning.

"Nannan, why did you get up so early?" Xiao Cheng squinted his eyes and asked in a daze, "Shall we sleep for a while?"

"Don't sleep, get up quickly, why are you so lazy!"

Nan Nan seemed to be in a good mood today, shaking Xiao Cheng vigorously while shouting: "Hurry up and eat, take me to the kindergarten, and when I come back from school, my grandparents will definitely be back!"

"Yes, my little aunt, what you say counts!"

Xiao Cheng had no choice but to get up, and at breakfast, Nan Nan gulped down the porridge, and she ate a boiled egg in three or two bites, and then kept urging Xiao Cheng to speed up and send her to kindergarten.

Xiao Cheng was urged to spin around, and finally had to throw down the half-drunk rice porridge, and ran out the door with Nan Nan in his arms.

Today Hong Feng had something to do, so he didn't drive here. Xiao Cheng took a taxi to send Nan Nan to the kindergarten, and then came to the unit by himself.

After a busy day, Xiao Cheng came to the kindergarten before Nan Nan left school.

Not long after, Dong Miao walked out with Nan Nan's class.

"dad……"

Xiao Nannan saw Xiao Cheng from a distance, jumped up and waved his hands, smiling super happily.

Xiao Cheng also smiled and waved his hands, but he was extremely guilty.

Mr. Zhang and the others didn't write a letter!
90.00% of the old couple haven't come back at [-]:[-], how can they explain to Nannan at this moment?
Sure enough, Nan Nan rushed over and asked directly, "Grandpa and grandma are back!"

"Father has been working all day today, and we'll know when we get home soon!" Xiao Cheng answered bravely, "Maybe grandparents are waiting for us at home?"

"Yeah, let's go!" Nan Nan pulled Xiao Chengfei to run.

Back downstairs, Nan Nan broke free from Xiao Cheng's arms and ran up to the fifth floor in one breath, took out the key and opened the door.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm back..."

In an instant, the little girl's smile froze on her face.

There was no one in the room, and everything was exactly the same as when Mr. Zhang and the others left.

Sure enough, he hasn't come back yet... Xiao Cheng looked behind Nan Nan who was standing blankly at the door, took a deep breath, walked over and said with a smile: "Don't worry Nan Nan, grandpa and grandma promised you to come back in five days at the latest, today It's only the fourth day, let's go upstairs and see what Uncle Big Bear is cooking today, maybe there is Nannan's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Nannan didn't answer.

She stood quietly at the door for a while, then closed the door, lowered her head and walked slowly towards the sixth floor.

Xiao Cheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he followed Nan Nan silently.

Back on the sixth floor, Nan Nan took off her shoes, without saying a word, went to the dining table with her small schoolbag and started to do her homework.

"Nan Nan is so good, she can study on her own without being told by others. If your father and I had this kind of energy back then, I would have been admitted to university by now!"

Xiao Cheng praised loudly, everyone said that children like to listen to encouragement, and it is estimated that Nan Nan is also the same.

But Nan Nan acted as if she didn't hear it, and she didn't show a smile. After a long time, she said: "Grandma likes Nan Nan to do her homework as soon as she comes back..."

"..."

Xiao Cheng's lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

Going on like this is not an option. What is going on with Mr. Zhang and the others?

Even Xiao Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, he went to the bedroom and closed the door, took out his phone and dialed...
