Chapter 851: The useless old classmate
Shenzhuang.
Jiang Ning was enjoying a delicious meal. The dishes served by his uncle's family were indeed good, including stewed beef, steamed sea bass, roasted chicken, and mutton soup, a very complete range.
In the past, he couldn't eat good food when visiting relatives because his family was not well off and his uncle was not attentive. Now that the other party has a request from his family, he naturally prepares the best.
My brother-in-law had a smiling face and from time to time belittled my cousin Shen Xuan, and boasted that Jiang Ning was a literary star in the world and his parents were late bloomers. Not to mention, the meal was very delicious.
Suddenly, a loud "woof woof" sound came from the dog cage, warning the intruder.
My uncle-in-law is not as powerful as Zhang the Butcher from Heba, so he keeps his dog in a cage and it is not as unrestrained as Zhang the Butcher.
Hearing the sound, everyone in the main room looked towards the door.
I saw a middle-aged man with shiny leather shoes, holding a red gift box, coming to my door with a smile on his face.
My uncle's face changed and he showed a bit of disgust. This man was their neighbor behind their house, called Binzi. He was a person who was very particular about appearances but actually despised the poor and loved the rich.
My uncle-in-law raises pigs, which is an unstable business. One year he was unlucky and lost money raising pigs, so he spent the whole year sighing.
It happened that migrant workers were returning home. Shen Bin had earned a lot of money after working for a year and was very proud of himself. He was giving cigarettes everywhere. When it was his brother-in-law's turn, the cigarette box was empty. Shen Bin said he was not blessed.
The uncle-in-law thought he was mocking his bad luck in raising pigs, and he looked at him coldly from then on.
As a result, a gap arose between the two families.
When the uncle saw this man, he wanted to say something bad to him, but suddenly he remembered something and his expression gradually warmed up.
He remembered clearly that Jiang Ning seemed to like his daughter. Shen Bin had once said that they would go to Yuzhou to study together, and there was some displeasure in his words.
"The two little guys left their hometown to study in Yuzhou. Maybe they are secretly dating now. They may become relatives in the future. If I offend Shen Bin now, he will let his daughter say bad things about me in the future. That won't be good!"
Shen Ermao activated his imagination and made calculations in his mind.
People always firmly believe in what they have realized, and even feel a bit pleased with themselves.
After making such a plan, the uncle-in-law Shen Ermao smiled and greeted him warmly: "Binzi is here, come sit down? Let me get you some wine!"
The younger sister-in-law came forward and said enthusiastically: "Hey, since you are here, why do you bring any gifts?"
It's not just because of the gifts, but mainly because Shen Bin looks good. He has upright facial features, neat clothes, shiny leather shoes, and his hair is styled with gel in a 3:7 split. Judging from his appearance alone, he can be considered a low-profile version of a middle-aged rural president.
Shen Bin responded with a smile and covered his mouth with his fist: "It's New Year's Day, we can't go empty-handed."
It's no wonder that this guy has a daughter like Shen Qing'e, whose appearance is indeed flawless.
The little aunt smiled even more vigorously: "Come on, Brother Bin, please sit down!"
Shen Bin had this intention in mind, so he declined briefly and sat down at the dinner table.
Shen Ermao was furious when he saw this, and cursed in his heart: "Cao Lei's mother!"
He was annoyed to see Shen Bin acting pretentiously, especially the older women in the village, who just happened to like him.
Shen Ermao was helpless. After all, the other party had a beautiful daughter who might become Jiang Ning's relative in the future.
After Shen Bin sat down, he calmly looked at the guests at the table. Most of them looked familiar. He wondered, "Where's Jiang Ning? Why don't I see him?"
He came here just to make himself familiar, otherwise why would he come with a gift box worth seventy or eighty yuan?
Shen Bin inadvertently glanced at the Wuliangye on the table, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Wow!"
He smiled and said, "Hello everyone, today is a good day!"
The uncle-in-law was pleased: "Hey, my nephew is here, so I must entertain him well, right?"
Shen Bin: "Which one is your nephew?"
The uncle-in-law patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder: "Jiang Ning, my best nephew!"
Jiang Hu, who had a thick face, drank alone, thinking to himself: "Fuck, I'm not your nephew, am I?"
Unfortunately, his former younger brother was too successful, so Jiang Hu just asked him not to settle accounts with him.
Shen Bin looked at Jiang Ning carefully and saw some familiarity in him. He said in shock, "Hey boy, you've changed!"
Shen Bin thought to himself that this handsomeness was even comparable to his own!
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "He just grew a little taller!"
Shen Bin suppressed his shock. He was very particular about appearances and praised immediately: "You look like this standing next to my daughter. What a perfect match!"
Jiang Ning did not deny: "Qing'e is very beautiful."
Shen Bin felt very upset when he heard this. This son-in-law was not only as handsome as him, but also had an excellent family background.
Even if the child's mother doesn't agree, he dares to accept this marriage!
After chatting with Jiang Ning for a while, Shen Bin finally remembered today's host, Shen Ermao. Then, he caught a glimpse of Shen Xuan, and Shen Bin instinctively asked, "Shen Xuan, are you still at the construction site?"
Shen Xuan was originally unhappy with this hypocritical neighbor, so he replied out of the blue: "Yeah."
Shen Bin: "Hey, Ermao, your Xuanzi is good in every way, except that he is too boring!"
Shen Xuan ignored him.
Shen Bin said awkwardly: "This kid!"
As the saying goes, a guest is welcome, the aunt picked up the Wuliangye and poured wine for Shen Bin.
Shen Bin quickly picked up the small cup. The wine was so good that he used a small cup.
As a result, when the small cup was half filled, the bottle was actually empty. The young aunt shook it and found that it was gone.
The cup was small to begin with, and there was only half a cup. Shen Bin couldn't taste much of such good wine. He turned his displeasure into a joke and said, "Hey, the wine is not good. There is only half a cup left for me."
After Shen Xuan heard this, he immediately got annoyed. His hobby was denied by his father, which was a blow to him. He was also criticized by the hypocritical neighbor he always hated. He had had enough.
Shen Xuan said unhappily: "Isn't this half glass of wine the same as you? A full bottle is not full, half a bottle is sloshing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bin's expression turned extremely ugly. Being slapped in the face at the table was too much!
The uncle was secretly happy, but thinking that Shen Bin might become Jiang Ning's father-in-law in the future, he quickly scolded: "Xiao Xuan, what are you talking about?"
He tried to save face: "Brother Bin, bottle bottom wine is also called fortune wine, which means you will make a fortune! You will definitely make a fortune next year!"
Shen Bin's expression softened a little, and he replied, "I still wish you great fortune next year!"
Even though his brother-in-law toasted him and said nice things, Shen Bin did not stay long. After drinking the glass of wine, he said he had something to do at home and said goodbye to Jiang Ning with a smile.
After dinner, my uncle opened the gift box sent by Shen Bin, which turned out to be Daoxiangcun cakes, tongue biscuits, oatmeal crisps, mung bean cakes, wife cakes...
My uncle-in-law said generously: "One piece for each of you, share it and try it!"
There were less than ten pieces of cake in total, and with so many people present, there were not enough to share.
Jiang Hu took a piece of hawthorn pot cake and handed it to Jiang Ning. His arrogant face showed some courtesy: "Brother, I'll give you my portion!"
Jiang Ning took the cake.
Jiang Hu grinned, showing his sincerity. Jiang Ning's heart softened and he would definitely not settle accounts with him!
Jiang Ning pinched the cake and thought of the time when Jiang Hu gave him the orange peel. He suddenly asked, "Oh, brother, you gave me your share, what about mine?"
Jiang Hu's smile froze instantly.
Ten seconds later, Haohao was left with empty hands, his little face full of confusion.
Jiang Ning holds a cow tongue biscuit in his left hand and a hawthorn pot cake in his right hand.
He took a bite of the pot cake, which was sour and sweet, very good.
He wondered: "Where should I go on the first night back in the village?"
……
town.
The small towns in the central region of Anhui Province are simply incomparable to the small towns in coastal cities.
At the beginning of 2015, as night fell in the backward town, the cold came on. There were no movie theaters, bars, cafes, etc., and there were basically no entertainment venues.
But now it’s the end of the year, well, there aren’t many entertainment venues either.
The square in front of the town government is the most lively place, with bright lights and square dancing. A little further east is the barbecue street, which is bustling with people returning home.
A few beautiful country girls stood at the door of the small shop, looking at the crowds in the distance and feeling the New Year atmosphere.
"Did Jiang Ning agree to your friendship?" Cao Xiaomin asked, "Is he not checking his phone?"
Ji Yan sneered: "Do you think there is any high school student who doesn't check his phone for a long time during the holidays?"
"I just don't want to pay attention to you." She put her hands in the pockets of her red windbreaker.
Cao Xiaomin whispered: "You sound like you've been approved?"
Wang Xue and Li Jing were playing with their mobile phones, and almost in an instant, their friend requests were approved.
"I agree, I agree." Wang Xue said excitedly. She had been waiting for a long time.
Hearing this, Ji Yan also took out his mobile phone and found that he had also been accepted as a friend.
The next second, a message came: "Want to play billiards tonight?"
Ji Yan remained calm, but Wang Xue beside him couldn't hide her thoughts: "Ahhh, he invited me to play billiards!"
Wang Xuexin said: "I'm sorry, Ah Hui...please forgive me..."
As a result, Li Jing also said: "I was invited too."
Ji Yan frowned: "He sent it to a group? How rude?"
Cao Xiaomin wondered: "Why didn't you send it to me?"
"Oh, it seems there is still a screening process." Ji Yan judged that at least not every girl would be willing to invite Jiang Ning.
"Are you going?" Ji Yan asked.
Wang Xue said seriously: "I think he is too rude. I don't like such presumptuous boys. Although I think he is handsome, inner qualities are more important."
The quiet and reserved Li Jing glanced at her phone, worried: "It's too dangerous at night. There must be some troublemakers in the billiard hall right now. I'd better forget it."
Ji Yan put his hands in his pockets, like a rose blooming in the cold wind: "Forget it, I'm not going."
Wang Xue nodded: "Yes, it's too cold, I'd better go home and make bed."
Li Jing said goodbye: "I feel sick, see you tomorrow!"
Ji Yan: "Bye."
Cao Xiaomin turned from love to hatred because of Jiang Ning's different treatment. She said angrily: "Jiang Ning deserves it! Fortunately, you all rejected it!"
The next time she sees Jiang Ning, she will definitely use this to make fun of her!
……
ten minutes later.
At the entrance of the billiard hall, the three sisters met again and looked at each other.
Wang Xue accused: "Aren't you guys not coming?"
Li Jing was shy and embarrassed: "My stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore..."
Ji Yan was still like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water: "No one should say anything about anyone else."
At the same time, Shenzhuang.
Shen Qing'e had just helped to prepare the meal and won praise from her parents. She took the opportunity to take out her phone and found a WeChat message from Jiang Ning: "Want to play billiards tonight?"
She couldn't describe her feelings at that moment, whether it was joy, shock, or emotion. If she had to describe it, it would probably be a reunion after a long separation.
She thought of her father coming back just now and said with a smile: "Jiang Ning is really nice and very polite to me."
Shen Qing'e originally thought that her father was just bragging, but who knew that now, Jiang Ning actually sent her an invitation message.
She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't hide her sweet smile. She asked, "Mom, is there any power left in the electric car at home?"
Shen's mother: "It was just charged."
Shen Qing'e quickly replied to Jiang Ning: "Can you give me some time to calm down?"
Jiang Ning replied immediately: "No need, it's a group message, someone has already agreed."
Shen Qing'e felt dizzy and she held her forehead and slowly sat down.
……
Jiang Hu drove Jiang Ning to town and told him: "I'll pick you up when you get home in the evening. Just call me!"
Their restaurant is open until 12 o'clock at night.
After Jiang Hu left, Jiang Ning detected the movements of the three women with his spiritual sense, but he did not go directly over.
He thought about it and decided that it was not a good idea to send group invitations to all the girls.
Jiang Ning didn't want to give his classmates the impression that he was overbearing.
He walked up the alley and took advantage of the night to turn his palm over. The storage ring flashed and four paper cups were arranged in the air one by one. He pointed again and various materials emerged.
Jiang Ning waved his hand lightly, and the red spiritual fire rolled out, forming a dazzling vortex of fire. Things like mountain spring water, black tea leaves, milk, and brown sugar pearls were drawn into it and all poured into the cups. Four cups of boiling hot milk tea were made in an instant.
Jiang Ning sifted out the tea leaves and picked up a straw. The taste was pretty good, with a rich and fragrant mixture of milk and tea.
He sipped his milk tea, picked up the remaining three cups of milk tea, and walked towards the billiard hall.
The three girls had been waiting for ten minutes, and when they saw him coming, they didn't show any displeasure at all.
"Jiang Ning!" Wang Xue smiled. She was a cheerful person and had been like this since junior high school.
Li Jing greeted in a low voice: "You are here."
Ji Yan put his hands in his pockets, leaning on the billiard table, showing only his silhouette.
Jiang Ning handed over three cups of milk tea and said, "Try it."
Wang Xue stared at the simple milk tea cup and thanked: "Thank you!"
She tore open the straw, inserted it into the cup, took a sip, and then she could smell the pure and rich milk flavor. It was so delicious!
Waniao Town is just a small town. It is only 2015 now. There are milk tea shops in the town, but they are all brewed with instant milk tea. Many students are used to drinking this kind of milk tea.
When you drink milk tea made with milk and real tea for the first time, the obvious difference will make you very surprised, just like many times when people eat fried chicken for the first time, they also think it is very delicious.
Wang Xue's eyes lit up: "So smooth! Where did you buy it?"
Hearing this, Ji Yan stopped pretending and tore open the straw to take a sip. She also sucked up the brown sugar pearls, which were soft, chewy and sweet.
It's really delicious.
Li Jing's performance was equally impressive.
Jiang Ning looked at the three country beauties who looked naive and he couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling a long-lost sense of simplicity and refreshment.
It was as if the global milk tea making technology had regressed a hundred times. I was not affected and made a cup of milk tea casually. The whole world was stunned. What? There is such a delicious milk tea in the world!
Jiang Ning said calmly: "I made it myself."
