There is a glimmer of light in the world

Chapter 37
Hearing this, Li Jing felt like she had a knot in her throat, "Before I came, I asked a police friend from Yanshi City to look for clues about Xiuzhi. Now that criminal investigation technology has developed, it may not be long before there will be good news. So, you two, please tell me Be sure to take good care of yourself and wait for the reunion!"

The old couple suddenly became excited, nodded repeatedly, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

The sun was about to set and the market began to close the stalls. Jiejie was also tired from playing and fell asleep in Grandma Liang's arms.

Li Jing drove back home.

On the way, Liang Maoming called and invited the four of them to have dinner at home.

When they returned to the village, Jiejie hadn't woken up yet. The old couple didn't want to disturb the village chief and insisted on going back to their home. Li Jing reluctantly refused to come, so she agreed.

……

Liang Maoming's home is near the theater to the north of the village entrance. His ancestors moved to Liangwan Village from Shandong in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and have lived here for generations. It has been passed down to Liang Maoming's generation, which is already the fifth generation.

The place where the Liang family lives is also an ancestral property. The courtyard built with blue bricks is simple and unique, elegant and livable. In the courtyard is a century-old ginkgo tree, which is towering and lush, full of ancient style. It is the golden autumn at this time, and the golden ginkgo leaves are It fell on the bluestone table, eaves, and corridors, covering the ground thickly. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected obliquely, and the orange-red blended into golden yellow, just like a grand scene in a painting, so beautiful!
Li Jing was carrying something and standing at the courtyard gate. For a moment, she was confused and forgot to move forward!
"Doctor Li!"

Liang Maoming came out of the west room and saw Li Jingju dazed at the door. He quickly greeted him: "Hurry up and come in. The food is all on the table, waiting for you to come."

Li Jing came back to her senses and apologized, "Village Chief, I'm really sorry. I originally made an appointment to have dinner at your house at noon, but Jiejie is too dependent on me and won't let me go. Grandpa Liang and Grandma Liang insist that I stay. It’s hard to refuse a meal at his house. I..."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter where you eat. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks." Liang Maoming said with a smile, "Besides, I know your aunt's character well. If you don't eat her food, she will feel uneasy."

Li Jing nodded, "Yes, I think so too. As long as it can reduce Grandma Liang's sense of debt, I will follow her."

"Okay, let's go in first." Liang Maoming lifted the door curtain of the west room and complained to Aunt Qiao, "If you don't come to dinner tonight, my aunt will definitely dig two pounds of cocoons out of my ears!"

"Ha ha."

Li Jing couldn't stop laughing. She stepped forward, entered the house, handed a box of milk, peach cakes, and tea to Liang Maoming, and continued, "So, I have to comfort Aunt Qiao!"

Liang Maoming frowned for a moment, "Hey, Doctor Li, why are you so polite? We are familiar with each other once, and we are no longer outsiders, so why bother..."

"That's right, it's fine when people come, but it's too unprofessional to bring things with you!"

Aunt Qiao came out of the kitchen, carrying a bowl of porridge in one hand, with the same displeasure written on her face.

Li Jing smiled playfully, "I have known the village chief for a long time, but it was our first time meeting Auntie, and I broke the appointment again. Of course I have to apologize! Besides, I can stay for two days for free, which can save a lot of money. How do you calculate it? I took advantage of Aunt Qiao!"

Li Jing's high emotional intelligence greatly relieved the psychological burden of Liang Maoming and his wife. Aunt Qiao put the porridge on the dining table, pulled Li Jing to sit down, and said, "I don't know if you eat spicy food, do you like sour food, or do you like sour food?" I love sweets, so I made all kinds of them, try them and see if they suit your taste."
