Chapter 790 Forgetting the Old People
night.
In the coldest days of winter, walking from school to home, Xue Yuantong felt even happier when he saw his mother's kind face under the light.
She quickly jumped out of the car and jumped in front of her mother excitedly: "I'm back!"
Aunt Gu looked at her daughter's clumsy behavior and scolded her, "Why are you in such a hurry? The car hasn't even stopped yet!"
Xue Yuantong didn't care at all: "Mom, don't you know my skills?"
Jiang Ning stopped the car and greeted Aunt Gu.
Aunt Gu was very relieved when she saw Jiang Ning riding a bicycle. The house she lived in was relatively remote, and the nearest bus stop was on Nanhong Road. Even if she got off there, it would still take a long time to get to the bungalow on the river dam.
When Tongtong was in junior high school, she would always find time to pick up and drop off Tongtong. If she really couldn't find time, she would let her take the bus back. Because there was no evening self-study in junior high school, although life was a little more difficult, she was able to balance things out.
Now that she is in high school and has evening self-study classes, if her work remains the same and if Jiang Ning does not appear, Aunt Gu does not even want to think about how to take good care of her daughter.
So when looking at Jiang Ning at this moment, Aunt Gu's expression became more and more satisfied. The rent of this house was worth it, and it even solved her daughter's problem.
However, when Aunt Gu took a look at Jiang Ning, she thought he was handsome and tall, and she was quite satisfied with him. But then she looked at her own daughter who was short and felt so disappointing, so Aunt Gu couldn't help feeling melancholy.
She doesn't require a high height, just 1.6 meters.
Aunt Gu said, "We have cooked shrimps and heated up some milk at home. Jiang Ning, come and have some."
Jiang Ning knew that this was Tongtong's exclusive 'Children's Growth - Midnight Snack Package'.
He replied: "I'll park the car and come right away."
Tongtong ran to the kitchen and found that her mother had taken a large plate of shiny red boiled shrimps from the steamer. A rough count revealed that there were more than 30 shrimps, neatly arranged, with two bowls of dipping sauce next to them.
Xue Yuantong's index finger was excited, and Aunt Gu tapped her and told her to wash her hands first.
"My name is Chuchu!" Xue Yuantong is very loyal. When there is benefit, she will never forget Chuchu.
She ran to Chuchu's house and saw Aunt Hua wrapped in bed watching TV. "Aunt, I want Chuchu to come to my house for dinner."
Aunt Hua's slightly cold face softened a lot after seeing Tongtong: "Tongtong is here."
She used to care about her daughter Chuchu and hoped that she would study hard and make a name for herself. During that period, Hua Fengmei had some opinions about Tongtong. No one wanted to see their girl running around and playing all day without coming home.
Aunt Hua has changed a lot now. After all these years, the two little ones can still play so well with each other, which is a rare thing. Moreover, she was able to get a job at Changqing Liquid Company thanks to Sister Gu's relationship.
Otherwise, she would still be working the night shift in a textile factory, and for the sake of 200 yuan for full attendance, she wouldn't even dare to take a day off.
She smiled and called out, "Chu Chu, stop studying, Tong Tong is calling you."
In another small room, Xue Chuchu took off the blanket from her legs and stood up to greet Tongtong.
"Chu Chu, let's go eat some shrimps, they're delicious!" Tong Tong led the way in a hurry, "Jiang Ning is here too, let him peel shrimps for me later!"
Xue Chuchu smiled knowingly, bent her slender waist and took small steps to catch up with Tongtong.
Soon, the noise in the yard disappeared and Hua Fengmei continued watching TV.
Two minutes later, Hua Fengmei thought: "Does Jiang Ning still peel shrimp for Tongtong? Is he so nice to her? My Chuchu..."
……
"Jiang Ning, you eat! You eat!"
Xue Yuantong smiled brightly. She stretched out her little hand and pinched the tender white shrimp meat.
“You’re welcome.” Jiang Ning took the shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth. The shrimp was very fresh, crispy and refreshing, and the sauce was also a good match. Even at night, he didn’t feel greasy at all.
After trying to please Jiang Ning first, Xue Yuantong could finally look his mother in the face.
"Mom, the dipping sauce you made smells so good! How did you make it?" She began to ask for advice.
Xue Chuchu, who was peeling shrimps, slowed down her movements and prepared to learn some skills.
Tongtong learned cooking skills from Aunt Gu, which means Aunt Gu must be a better cook.
Without waiting for his mother to answer, Xue Yuantong took stock: "There are onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil, um...?"
Aunt Gu: "You won the sesame oil from Teacher Qian."
Xue Yuantong: "No wonder it smells so good!"
Jiang Ning: "Teacher Qian is a very kind person."
"Yes, I'll find a chance to cheat some sesame oil next time." She was thinking of a bad idea.
The spare ribs from Zhang the Butcher’s pig stall, the sesame oil from Teacher Qian, all are rare and exquisite, and there are also black slaves…
"By the way, Jiang Ning, how did Dongdong do today?" Xue Yuantong asked.
Ever since she found out she had an employee under her, she immediately took on the role of boss.
Jiang Ning: "Lin Zida should have sent me a message, but I don't have my hands to hold my phone."
Xue Yuantong was curious and suggested: "It's easy. I'll peel the shrimp for you!"
After Jiang Ning freed his hands, he took out his phone and opened WeChat. Sure enough, Lin Zida had sent a message, the first of which was a photo of a twenty-dollar bill, two five-dollar bills, and five coins.
"I'll collect the money for you and give it to you tomorrow at noon when you get home from school." Lin Zida said.
Xue Yuantong counted and his eyes lit up: "Wow, 35 yuan!"
"I can't spend that much on food in a day!" She smiled happily, feeling that her career was making steady progress.
Jiang Ning: "To be exact, it's 34 yuan, and I have to give Dongdong 3 cents as a reward."
Xue Yuantong felt distressed: "Why do we have to pay him wages? Can't we let him work for free?"
Jiang Ning: "You are so cruel."
Aunt Gu was stunned for a while and said nothing.
Xue Chuchu ate shrimp silently, as if their oppressive behavior had nothing to do with her.
Seeing the three children eating happily, Aunt Gu did not stay in the kitchen. She went back to the room to watch TV.
After his mother left, Xue Yuantong fantasized: "If I save more, maybe I can buy a snowboard!"
Jiang Ning looked at her and said, "The question is, can you ski?"
Xue Yuantong felt that she was being underestimated. She immediately stood up from the small stool and moved to the open space next to the dining table. She then demonstrated the left-right swaying motion of skiing on TV and asked Jiang Ning, "Is it professional?"
Jiang Ning: “Not professional.”
Xue Yuantong twisted her waist left and right, swaying like a flower in the spring breeze: "Professional or not?"
Jiang Ning: "Are you noodles?"
Xue Chuchu: "Ahem."
"Chu Chu, what are you laughing at? Come and demonstrate it to Jiang Ning!" she invited.
"Like me!" Xue Yuantong provided her with action guidance.
Xue Chuchu thought she was too crazy, so she weakly refused: "I don't want it."
Xue Yuantong was heartbroken: "Chu Chu, do you want to destroy this family?"
Xue Chuchu was charged with a false charge.
In order to conquer Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong kept demonstrating to Jiang Ning, and she twisted her body playfully.
Aunt Gu heard the noise and came to visit, only to find that her daughter was like a lunatic, while Chuchu was a gentle and ladylike person.
In contrast, Aunt Gu’s disdainful lesson: “Wipe the wall with your butt when you have time.”
……
After finishing the boiled shrimps, Jiang Ning moved his position and returned to the cabin. Tongtong and Chuchu followed.
Originally, Tongtong wanted to call Jiang Ning to play games together, but Jiang Ning received a phone call and went out.
Ten minutes later, he came back from outside.
"Who is it, Jiang Ning?" Tongtong was still waiting for him.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "My mother called."
Xue Yuantong: "Oh~"
The portrayal of Jiang Ning's parents immediately emerged in her mind. Well, she had never met Jiang Ning's parents.
Without waiting for Tongtong to ask, Jiang Ning continued the call: "The New Year is coming soon. There are some weddings and funerals in my family. My parents are busy in other places and don't have time to go back. They asked me if I would go back to my hometown to participate."
Xue Yuantong: "Ahhh, do you want to go home?"
Jiang Ning: "Some are not going back, but some need to. My aunt's son is getting married, but I see the time is after the holiday, which is still ten days away."
Jiang Ning just came to the city to live with his uncle. In fact, he had been living in the countryside for the first fourteen years of his life, where he had a complete circle of relationships.
His playmates in the village, his elementary and junior high school classmates... after he came to the city, he had hardly any contact with them and didn't even have any contact information.
Because Jiang Ning didn’t have a smartphone at that time.
"I wonder if they will recognize me when they see me again?" Jiang Ning thought.
How is the middle school he attended now? Their township middle school, junior high school and high school are integrated. Normally, most students go to high school step by step after graduating from junior high school.
But Jiang Ning and Shen Qing'e deviated from that line.
Xue Yuantong blinked his eyes: "Can I go to the banquet? I heard that the banquet dishes in each town are different."
Upon hearing this, Xue Chuchu raised her head and looked at Tongtong.
"She's so stupid. She went back to her hometown with Jiang Ning to have a feast. Isn't she afraid that the relatives would ask her all sorts of questions?" Xue Chuchu was almost numb to such occasions just by imagining it.
I wonder how many acquaintances I will run into, relatives, friends, classmates...
Xue Chuchu inquired: "You are having a banquet in Guyang County. Can two people go?"
In their village, usually only one person from a family would attend a banquet, so Jiang Ning must be considered the adult.
Jiang Ning: "Generally not, unless an adult is taking care of a child."
Xue Yuantong was insulted and started the game in anger.
Jiang Ning said leisurely: "However, after all, it is my aunt's family's wedding, so there will definitely be no problem with two people. Are you sure?"
When it came to the decision point, Xue Yuantong became timid: "The game match was successful, we'll discuss it another day."
It turned out to be just as Chuchu expected.
Not to mention the weak Tongtong, even if she and Jiang Ning were to have a meal together, she might not be able to cope with them. Those aunts and uncles are too difficult to handle.
Jiang Ning made a plan: "After the Fourth Middle School holiday, I should go back to the village for two days before the New Year."
Xue Yuantong pretended not to care: "Go back, you're going to Jiang Province for the New Year anyway!"
It was the same last year. Jiang Ning did not spend the New Year at her home and only came back on the fifth day of the New Year.
Thinking of this, she pouted her lips, and then recalled the night of New Year's Eve when Jiang Ning suddenly appeared in front of her and the beauty of the two of them releasing Kongming lanterns together. The corners of her mouth rose again.
Chuchu observed the whole process and she felt that Tongtong was probably crazy because his expression kept changing.
Jiang Ning was too lazy to pay attention to her. He closed his eyes, and his spiritual awareness slowly spread out like ripples, covering the wall, the dam, and the thick ice of the Huishui River.
Due to the low temperatures over the past few days, with the help of the formation, the ice layer has now reached 10 centimeters.
The thickness is just enough for people to walk on. Well, the thin Wang Yanyan can walk safely, but Pang Jiao will break the ice and fall into the river.
Jiang Ning estimated that today is Sunday, and the temperature will continue to be low for the next week, even reaching minus 10°C. With the help of the formation, the thickness of the ice on the Huishui River is expected to reach 40 centimeters in a week, which is thick enough to bear the thickness of a car.
His spiritual sense followed the formation and found the big fish that had swallowed countless spiritual crystals that were the source of the formation. He discovered that this fish had become the overlord of the river bottom and the king of the waters.
He felt a little relieved that everything was going well.
When the ice breaks, it's time to kill the fish.
"It's time to prepare some necessary items." Jiang Ning thought.
"Tongtong said before that she would invite the twins and Bai Yuxia to play at the river dam. They probably won't stand her up. As for Chuchu, it's hard to say. She will probably focus on the final exams..."
"Well, by then, the Yuzhou News will definitely report the abnormality of the Huishui River, and I guess many people will come to the city to have fun."
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xue Chuchu holding a notebook of wrong answers, studying on the sofa, while Tongtong was studying hard.
"Chu Chu, wait for me to finish this game, do you want to play games together?" Xue Yuantong invited.
"Okay, but I'll only play one game."
Xue Yuantong sped up the progress and ended the battle quickly, then she switched accounts.
Chuchu Bangdi and Tongtong Moyu join forces again to conquer the world.
Tongtong immediately chose Fizz as the jungler, but after the game started, the nickname of the opposing policewoman was [Four Pigs Against Five Dogs].
Tongtong was very angry. Why give someone such an insulting nickname?
Tongtong, the Internet Justice Guardian, immediately spoke up: "ADC, how many times do you plan to die in this game?"
Before the policewoman could reply, the enchantress in the middle lane said arrogantly, "Haha, why don't you try to touch her?"
Leading four pigs to fight five dogs: "Hehe."
She is still a girl.
As for Leblanc, he is very confident because this hero can restrain Fizz. As long as he can trick Fizz into using his E, he can easily defeat him!
Twenty-five minutes later.
Xue Yuantong killed everyone on the high ground and opened the battle record list.
The policewoman’s record is 0/8/1.
Leblanc's record is 0/10/0.
Xue Yuantong typed on the public screen: "People are naive and talkative."
……
Outside the No. 4 Middle School is Zhengde Internet Cafe.
In a dim house.
Cui Yu plays the game with ease. Brother Tian hasn't played games recently, and Cui Yu has returned to being an ordinary player. He actually feels a bit lonely.
Guo Kunnan, who was standing next to him, picked up his phone and glanced at it. He sighed and tried to find a topic: "Brother Ma, there are rumors that No. 4 Middle School may investigate Internet cafes outside the school again. Will we be exposed?"
If they were really caught, their parents would have to be called in. Guo Kunnan wanted to be happy but was also worried about their safety.
Ma Shicheng: "Where did you hear the news?"
Guo Kunnan: "Tieba."
Ma Shicheng: "It's okay, Longlong will take action."
Longlong, who was eating instant noodles, responded: "It's fake."
Guo Kunnan's anxious mood finally calmed down a little, but he was still uneasy. He took out his mobile phone again and looked at the chat page. The entire page was full of messages sent by him.
At 8:, he sent a message to the senior girl he met on the dating page of No. Middle School: "What time will you be back from dinner?"
No one replied.
"Well, it looks like you're busy, I'll continue with the class."
Later, at 9:, he sent another message to the senior: "Don't your friends at the party allow you to play with your phone?"
It's 11pm now and still no one has replied.
Guo Kunnan was very anxious, but it was no use being anxious.
At one o'clock in the morning, the screen suddenly lit up, and the senior student suddenly sent a message: "Anan, you are a good person."
Guo Kunnan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
