Chapter 863 Return of the Demon King
Xue Chuchu failed to deceive Tongtong, so she had no choice but to give Tongtong a ride.
Xue Yuantong advised: "Ride Jiang Ning's electric bike, his bike is cool."
“I don’t have my car keys…”
Before he finished speaking, Xue Yuantong took out the car keys from the pocket of his cotton jacket.
Xue Chuchu's cold face flashed with surprise: "Uh."
Xue Yuantong crossed his arms and said proudly, "Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the New Year. Jiang Ning will definitely come back."
Xue Chuchu suddenly felt ashamed: "It turns out that she was already prepared, and I was still thinking of lying to her..."
Suddenly, an inexplicable thought popped up in her mind: "Did Jiang Ning think of this? Is he deliberately manipulating me and Tongtong to quarrel?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Jiang Ning's several "deliberate" actions made Xue Chuchu certain that he was definitely not Guang Weizheng's character.
Xue Chuchu couldn't help but complain: "I'm not at the river dam, but you're still playing with me..."
She started the electric bike, took Tongtong with her, and headed to the city.
In the open space at the next door, Dongdong, who was taking a break from playing badminton, withdrew his sidelong glance.
Zhang Ruyun took a sip of old tea and sighed: "At first glance at the battery car, I thought Jiang Ning was back."
Dongdong's face changed suddenly after hearing this.
Before, Jiang Ning was at the river dam, pulling tires like a beast of burden. Later, when the ice and snow melted, he thought he was free.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning launched a new farm tourism project, using carts to carry passengers, and Dongdong could be said to be working like a horse or an ox.
Now, after Jiang Ning left, he is no longer oppressed. Every day he chases chickens and dogs, bullies the children who eat at the farm house, snatches toys, and plays badminton. His life is so comfortable.
Dongdong's face trembled as he said, "He won't come back again!"
Zhang Ruyun looked at Dongdong. He used to be a leader of the younger generation in Heba. But after recent contact with Dongdong, he found that this brother was really evil and had the potential to usurp the throne.
Therefore, the view on it has changed.
Zhang Ruyun deliberately asked, "What if Jiang Ning comes back?"
Dong Dong had a stress reaction when he heard the name of the devil. He clenched his fists and growled, "If he dares to threaten me again, I will destroy this dam with my own hands!"
Zhang Ruyun was amused: "Really? Then if you destroy the dam, can you let me go?"
Dongdong bared his teeth, extremely angry: "No, even I can't be spared!"
Zhang Ruyun thought to himself: "He's crazy. He was beaten by Jiang Ning!"
……
Jiang Ning met Tongtong at the entrance of the shopping mall.
Xue Yuantong caught a glimpse of Jiang Ning from afar. She leaned close to Chuchu's ear, her voice filled with joy: "He is back indeed, hehe!"
At this moment, Xue Chuchu deeply felt the gap between Tongtong before and after, just like a wilted little flower that suddenly moved into the sunlight and bloomed again.
She said, “Well, here he is.”
Tongtong was very happy, but when she got closer, she raised her chin and said, "Huh."
Jiang Ning patted the backpack behind him: "I brought you some delicious food."
Tongtong forgave him: "You have a conscience."
She slowly got out of the car and made room: "Let's go, let's go home."
Jiang Ning said: "Let's go directly to the mall. I plan to buy some clothes."
Tongtong and Chuchu naturally had no objection. Tongtong saw that Jiang Ning was holding a black bag that looked heavy. She reached out to help Jiang Ning carry it, but was politely declined.
"So mysterious." Tongtong curled her lips.
However, this little opinion soon disappeared in her chattering.
It was the end of the year and the city was particularly busy and noisy everywhere. Jiang Ning used some of his magic power to reduce the noise.
Tongtong followed Jiang Ning and told him about what happened in Heba during his absence. She and Chuchu worked part-time as strawberry shopping guides and made a lot of money. She also bought firecrackers and blew up Xiaoben's dog bowl. She also bought some fireworks and prepared to set them off when he came home...
These were obviously very simple and ordinary words, but Jiang Ning felt inexplicably at ease when he heard them.
The three of them walked into the mall. It was early 2015 and physical stores had not yet been defeated by online shopping. The clothing stores in the mall had a lot of customers. Hearing that Jiang Ning wanted to buy clothes, Tongtong found a brand clothing store that he didn't understand and took him shopping.
She had been helping to look after a strawberry farm these past two days, and with the money she made from playing games this morning, even if she paid back Chuchu the hundred yuan, she would still have a huge sum of 600 yuan left.
However, Tongtong took a look around and felt that these clothes were not worthy of Jiang Ning.
The female shopping guide next to her saw her picking and choosing with a hesitant look on her face, so she stepped forward and asked, "Hello, what are you struggling with?"
Tongtong said: "I don't have any money."
Female shopping guide: "Okay."
Jiang Ning took the unpromising Tongtong out of the men's clothing store and went to the women's clothing store next door: "I'm going to go find my parents tomorrow and buy them some clothes."
Tongtong thought of her hard-working mother and was also somewhat tempted. She knew that winter clothes were very expensive, and the money she had was probably not enough to buy two pieces.
She is struggling.
……
Humiao Town, Xuexiaozhuang.
At the end of the year in the village, many people who have returned from working outside are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and stand at the doorsteps of their homes chatting. The atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
In one courtyard, Aunt Gu said, "I see cracks in the wall and chimney of my parents' kitchen. If they collapse one day, it would be terrible if they fall and hit someone."
After she finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting on the bench lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.
A middle-aged woman with a mean look said, "This is not easy to repair, isn't it? Didn't the boss say that we should tear it down and rebuild it? This is not a small amount of money. Who is willing to pay, and how much?"
A man leaning against the door also said a few words, his displeasure evident in his words.
An elderly couple next to them remained silent.
The tiled house in my hometown was built many years ago and is now facing the risk of collapse. However, building a house requires money, and even in rural areas, labor costs have increased, and it is definitely not a small amount.
Because of the issue of the old house, my eldest brother gathered everyone together and discussed it several times, but the result every time was to discuss it next time, just like a useless meeting in the company.
Aunt Gu decided to cut the Gordian knot. She said sincerely, "Brother, sister, how about this? I'll take 30,000 yuan, and you wait until after the Chinese New Year to hire someone to tear down the house and build another one. How about that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest brother, who was smoking, immediately put out his cigarette, and the second sister's expression became kind.
The third brother acted as a peacemaker and said, "Sister, we can't let you pay for everything. If people in our village see us, won't they call us cowards?"
Aunt Gu was prepared. She smiled and said, "You know I usually work in the city and can't come back. It's inevitable that I can't take care of my family. Thanks to you, my parents are taking care of us. Isn't it reasonable for me to get more money?"
After these words were spoken, several people smiled and decided to do so.
They renovated their parents' house and told the story in the village, which also made them look good! The reason they didn't renovate it before was simply because of the money problem!
The old man and the old woman were equally satisfied, and everyone was happy.
Having solved a painful problem in the family, everyone's smiles grew. The second sister said enviously, "Xiao Gu, you look so good now. You look different!"
"Is Evergreen Liquid Company really as good as it is said to be?"
Everyone asked questions at once, and Aunt Gu became the center of the topic, responding to each question one by one.
After some explanation, the situation gradually calmed down. Aunt Gu planned to go to Houzhuang to discuss with Hua Fengmei about returning to the city in the afternoon.
Before leaving, the second sister sighed, "Xuanxuan went on another blind date today. The girl he introduced to her looks good and has good conditions, but her legs are not good. She walks with a limp. I'm worried about her!"
The third sister-in-law immediately said, "Don't marry a disabled person. Don't let Xuanxuan marry her!"
The eldest sister-in-law expressed her opinion: "According to what you said, her limp is so serious that it is difficult to take her out. Are we going to let her lie down and sleep at home every day?"
Aunt Gu had been silent the whole time, but now she was thinking of her own daughter. Her condition had been particularly severe in the last two days. She had been lying in bed all day, only getting up for a while to eat. Wasn't she like a disabled person?
Perhaps it was telepathy, Aunt Gu's phone vibrated, and her daughter sent a message:
"Mom, I'm playing in the city, hehe!"
Aunt Gu: "Haha, why aren't you sleeping at home?"
Tongtong: "How can I just lie at home every day? I have to go out, my waist hurts!"
Aunt Gu commented: "Haha, it's a good sleep."
Tongtong: "I'm going out to play now, and it feels so lively outside."
Aunt Gu: "Haha, you sleep at home every day and can see ghosts. It would be strange if the city is not bustling."
Tongtong pouted: "Mom, do you know that hehe means to mock?"
Aunt Gu: "I know, I did it on purpose."
Tongtong is a little girl who doesn’t remember the mistakes of adults. She continued to share: “I was actually in a clothing store.”
At this time, in the clothing store.
Tongtong took two pictures of the coat: "Mom, look at the popular women's coats now, which color looks good?"
Aunt Gu replied immediately: "Light gray is better than white."
She sent another voice message: "Why are you asking what color looks good? You don't have to buy it for me. I have enough clothes to wear. Save the money and buy something delicious."
Tongtong: "Mom, you're wearing a size L, is it too big?"
Aunt Gu said, "L is too big. This is a coat. M is just right. Don't buy it."
Tongtong: "Okay."
After saying that, she put away her phone.
"Auntie's refusal is too harsh..." Xue Chuchu was speechless.
Tongtong spent 599 yuan to buy a light gray size M coat for her mother.
After buying it, she was happy at first, but when she looked at Jiang Ning, she felt a little ashamed.
'Alas, Jiang Ning is so good to me, but I have nothing to repay him!'
Tongtong thought: "Let's go to the vegetable market later."
She planned to borrow some money from Chuchu, buy some vegetables, and make delicious food for Jiang Ning at noon.
While Tongtong and Chuchu were choosing clothes, Jiang Ning took a photo of the mall and posted it on his Moments:
"Let's go to the city to buy some New Year's goods during the New Year."
Old classmates Wang Xue and Gao Yinghui immediately liked it.
Security guard Zhang Chi didn't like the post, but immediately commented: "New Year's goods, how much do you plan to spend?"
Jiang Ning replied: "It's hard to say, just buy whatever you want."
Zhang Chi: "I'm also going to buy some New Year's goods, so I'll save some money. Is 50 yuan enough?"
Shan Kaiquan replied to Zhang Chi: "It's so funny. 50 can't even buy a box of six walnuts."
Wang Longlong replied to Zhang Chi: "Brother Chi, sure! Give me 50 yuan and I'll tell everyone you bought a truckload of New Year's goods."
Zhang Chi stopped talking.
……
Tongtong bought a coat for her mother, and Chuchu also chose one.
Tongtong has no money, but Chuchu has a small treasury and is richer than Tongtong.
So, Tongtong took Chuchu and Jiang Ning to the vegetable market.
Whether in his past or present life, Jiang Ning seldom went to the vegetable market, because many vegetable vendors were neither honest nor kind, and it was common for them to quote high prices and shortchange customers on weight.
Tongtong is different from Chuchu. They often buy vegetables and know the market conditions, so they will never be cheated.
Tongtong said: "Jiang Ning, I won't make a move today. I'll let you see Chuchu's bargaining skills!"
Jiang Ning glanced sideways: "Oh?"
He really couldn't imagine Chu Chu bargaining with these cunning stall owners in the vegetable market.
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and due to the rising prices and different market conditions, she actually can’t quite figure out the prices.
However, the cautious Chu Chu, with her sharp eyesight, searched for an "elite" aunt from the crowd.
She followed the aunt to a seafood stall, which had a wide variety of fish, shrimp, crabs and shells.
The auntie was a regular customer. She asked, "Today's shrimps are good. How much is one pound?"
The lady boss immediately said, "40 per pound."
Aunt: "Are you kidding me? 40 is too expensive. How can it be that expensive? They only sell it for 30..."
After a heated debate, the deal was finally concluded at 33 yuan per pound.
Xue Chuchu took the opportunity to get closer, and the proprietress' eyes lit up: "Wow, what a pretty girl! What do you want? There's nothing cheaper than mine in the whole market!"
Pretty girls like this usually don't have much life experience, so aren't we allowed to set the prices ourselves?
The next second, Xue Chuchu said, "Give me a pound of prawns for 33 yuan."
The lady who had just paid turned around instantly with an expression that said 'you're taking advantage of me'.
The proprietress pinched her nose and weighed a pound of shrimp for her.
Xue Yuantong said to Jiang Ning, "Chu Chu is good at bargaining, right?"
Jiang Ning admitted: "Amazing."
……
River dam bungalow.
Without Zhang Ruyun to practice with him, Dongdong, in order to vent his anger and fear, picked up a table tennis racket and swung it against the wall, "bang bang bang!"
This is the table tennis racket and table tennis ball that he snatched from the kid.
Seeing him like a mad bull, Zhang Ruyun said, "Dongdong, what if Jiang Ning comes back and needs you to pull the cart?"
Dongdong Courage BUFF leaned forward, he grasped the racket, hit it hard, and roared: "I have become stronger!"
"Hahaha!"
He hit the ping-pong ball frantically, and Teacher Qian exclaimed that if this boy lived in ancient times, he would be comparable to the Overlord of Chu!
Dongdong: "How dare the King of Chu be compared with me!"
Teacher Qian: “Okay, okay!”
Even Zhang Ruyun thought that Dongdong was too arrogant!
Just then, a cool electric car came from the west and approached in the blink of an eye.
Dongdong felt the terrifying figure, his hand shook, and the ping-pong ball bounced out.
Jiang Ning drove the electric bike without slowing down at all, and the wheels rolled over the ping-pong ball in an instant.
Tongtong was surprised: "Jiang Ning, you are too careless!"
Jiang Ning stopped the car and looked down at the ping-pong ball. Then, he looked at Dong Dong who was holding the racket: "Is this your ping-pong ball?"
Dong Dong's arrogance completely disappeared. He was afraid that Jiang Ning would find fault with him, so he replied tremblingly: "No, no, my ping-pong ball is not that flat!"
