Chapter 864: A Table for Adults
Today's sunshine is exceptionally warm, clearing away the chill in the air.
River dam, bungalow, doorway.
Jiang Ning looked down at him and asked, "Oh, it's not your ping-pong ball?"
When Dongdong faces the big devil, he wishes he could transform into a monster and destroy the river dam with one punch, or turn into a swordsman and cut a ravine in the earth with one sword.
Once, facing the injustice in the world, he had imagined this scene countless times.
But no matter how he fantasized, he would always be kicked away by Jiang Ning in reality.
The dream in one's heart is ultimately no match for the pain of the body. When the bully Jiang Ning appeared in front of him again, Dongdong recalled the tragic scenes of being beaten.
Dongdong's face was filled with fear. He raised his hand and said hurriedly, "Zhang Ruyun can testify that it's not mine. It's really not my ball!"
Zhang Ruyun was stunned: "Didn't Dongdong just say that he wanted to destroy the river dam?"
Dongdong urged anxiously: "Can you testify for me?"
Zhang Ruyun hesitated for a few seconds and said, "It's definitely not Dongdong's."
In a sense, it is indeed not the case. Dongdong snatched it from other children.
Jiang Ning walked up to Dongdong and slapped him on the shoulder.
Dongdong's legs went limp and his whole body was shaking violently. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying:
‘It’s over! ’
The ping-pong ball he accidentally hit flew into the air, blocking Jiang Ning's way. The bully would definitely take advantage of this to cause trouble!
It's over, everything is over!
Dongdong was mentally prepared for a beating.
Unexpectedly, the next second.
Jiang Ning suddenly smiled: "Okay, I wanted to compensate you, but since I can't find the owner, forget it."
After saying this, he sneered, picked up the big black bag in his hand, and went into the main room of his house.
Dongdong clenched his fists. At such a young age, he endured the humiliation.
Xue Yuantong glanced at Dongdong, then quickly caught up with Jiang Ning.
Xue Chuchu felt it more clearly. She knew very well how arrogant Dongdong had been in the past two days when Jiang Ning was away. He came to show off from time to time.
Comparing the past and present, the difference is really huge.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand what her mother once said: 'The family still needs a man.'
We should stand tall and proud like this.
After Jiang Ning returned to the room, he casually put his backpack on the sofa and then put the black bag on the ground next to the sofa. Tongtong looked at the black bag, wanting to know what was inside, but couldn't see clearly no matter how hard he tried.
Jiang Ning: "What are you looking at?"
Xue Yuantong pouted: "Who cares!"
She also put her handbag next to the sofa, then sat down in the middle of the sofa. Jiang Ning immediately felt her little cotton jacket sticking to him.
Xue Yuantong curled up on the sofa, feeling extremely happy. She swung her calves lightly, and the slightly clumsy pair of little cotton shoes slipped off her feet lightly, making a light "click" sound when they landed on the ground.
A pair of small white socks was exposed in Jiang Ning's sight, as if he could glimpse the slender ankles wrapped inside through the white socks.
Jiang Ning opened his backpack, took out a bag of dried fruits and placed them on the small round table.
He pinched a nut and ate one, it was delicious.
Xue Yuantong shook his little white socks and said in surprise: "Happy fruit!"
She also pinched one. It had a beige shell, purple skin, and green kernel. It was crispy when she bit into it.
She stayed close to Jiang Ning, eating pistachios with a smile on her face, temporarily forgetting the serious crime that Jiang Ning had committed in the morning by instigating Chu Chu to deceive her.
"Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, tell me, why are pistachios called pistachios?" She couldn't stop talking.
Jiang Ning said: "Look, aren't they grinning? They look very happy."
Xue Yuantong took a closer look and said, "It really is."
However, she had sharp eyes and reached out to pick up an unopened pistachio: "Then why is it unhappy?"
Jiang Ning: “Give it to me.”
He took the pistachio, put his two fingers together and squeezed it open with a "snap": "It's happy now."
Xue Yuantong laughed foolishly: "Hehehe."
Jiang Ning looked at her heartless appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, that's good.
He leaned against the familiar sofa, the sun was shining outside the window, the clear voice of a young girl was in his ears, he ate pistachios slowly, and he felt particularly relaxed.
"Let me tell you, Jiang Ning. My mom clearly doesn't allow me to buy clothes, but she just sent me a message asking me what the clothes look like and whether they look good on me. If they don't look good, can I return them?"
"She actually doubted my taste!" Xue Yuantong opened the bag and put on the light grey coat she bought for her mother.
On a quiet winter day, generous sunlight penetrates through the bright windows and pours into the house, immersing the entire room in golden warmth.
"Look quickly, isn't it beautiful, Jiang Ning!"
Wearing a coat that didn't fit her well, she stood on tiptoe and turned around gently. The sunlight in the air seemed to dance between her hair, which was both gorgeous and dreamy.
The laughter is like a silver bell, so vivid and brilliant.
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.
After Xue Yuantong finished spinning, he took off his coat and turned back into his original plain cotton-padded jacket: "Does it look good?"
"nice."
She stood in front of Jiang Ning and asked, "Does it look better now or just now?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "You are always more beautiful than the second before."
Xue Yuantong laughed at first, then pouted: "Humph, you just lie to me!"
Jiang Ning: “Hmm?”
"Why didn't you reply to my message after you got home!" Xue Yuantong complained. In the past two days, she stayed in bed, holding her cell phone, and sent many messages to Jiang Ning, but she never got a timely reply.
Jiang Ning didn't explain, he just reached out and touched Tongtong's soft hair.
"You hurt me, and then you come to comfort me, what's the point?" Tongtong snorted: "Unless you put..."
Her eyes drifted to the black plastic next to the sofa. There must be something good inside.
Jiang Ning: "Do you really want it?"
Xue Yuantong immediately said: "I don't really want to, I'm just curious, you know my curiosity..."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, untie it yourself."
Xue Yuantong received the order and immediately opened the black plastic bag, only to find that it was empty.
She was dumbfounded.
Jiang Ning laughed: "You are not curious now, right?"
In anger and humiliation, Xue Yuantong pinched his arm hard and left angrily.
……
The hurt Tongtong ran away from Jiang Ning's house. Before leaving, she did not forget to grab a handful of pistachios.
Jiang Ning also pinched some pistachios and strolled outside to bask in the sun.
At Tongtong's house in the west, Tongtong and Chuchu were preparing lunch, and Jiang Ning chose not to disturb them.
Teacher Qian from the east is getting ready to have lunch. He is hosting the party today and has invited three or five good friends, all of whom are his former teachers.
He set up a dining table at the door and discussed the current situation with his friends, using history to criticize present events and talking about the world situation. What a joy it was!
Teacher Qian picked up the chopsticks, pointed at a plate of bright red stewed meat on the table, and said, "Come on, try it!"
Several old men immediately picked up their chopsticks and each picked up a piece of meat.
The white-haired old teacher who criticized Xue Yuantong in the morning immediately praised: "Good, good! Smooth, tender, and full of meaty aroma! Good!"
Teacher Qian suddenly felt very proud!
The pain I had originally felt for treating everyone to a meal disappeared at this moment.
Everyone ate the stewed meat and chatted, and soon the whole plate of meat was finished.
The white-haired old teacher was still not satisfied. He pointed out: "Old Qian, you have been stingy for so many years, and you can't change your habit of being stingy. Alas! At our age, don't we just want to have a bite to eat?"
"Yeah, Lao Qian, you're not even nice enough to treat me!"
"When you came to my house before, I never treated you badly!"
Teacher Qian couldn't save face after facing the criticism from his old friends. He took the plate and went back to the house. When he came out again, there was a piece of marinated red meat on the plate.
The white-haired old teacher was delighted when he saw this.
He knew Mr. Qian's character very well, and he commented with a smile: "Old Qian, why is there only one piece of meat?"
Teacher Qian was already feeling distressed, as he himself had barely eaten a few pieces of the food, and now he was offering it to treat guests, and a bunch of old guys were still being picky!
Teacher Qian immediately asked back: "How many do you want?"
"It should be at least five or six dollars, right?"
After hearing this, Teacher Qian picked up a spoon and chopsticks and started to scrape the meat into five or six pieces.
Everyone was silent.
They all criticized Teacher Qian for being too stingy, and they expected that the neighbors around him would definitely have something against him.
In order to prove that he is popular, Mr. Qian saw Dong Dong at the door, who was splitting bricks with his bare hands and practicing his skills hard.
Teacher Qian shouted, "Dongdong, come here, I'll treat you to meat today!"
Hearing that there was meat to eat, Dongdong ran to the dining table quickly.
"As the saying goes, children speak without restraint. Children are the best proof of a person's character!" said Teacher Qian.
After that, he picked up a small piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Dongdong's hand: "Dongdong, what do you think of me?"
Dongdong ate it in one bite, didn't answer, and continued to reach out for meat.
Teacher Qian had no choice but to pick up another piece. After Dongdong finished eating the meat, he still reached out for more.
Teacher Qian was very distressed and said sarcastically: "Dongdong, when you were hanging out with Jiang Ning, did you also just take the money without doing any work?"
Old Deng's words were very hurtful. If it were someone else, they would definitely look unhappy after being hurt, but it would be difficult for them to fight back.
For example, Yin Yang Zhang the Butcher was a pig killer and he would never be able to appear in public in his entire life.
Yin Yang Bi Yue's father was arrested. A few days later, Bi Yue could hear a noise. What noise? The noise of a shooting.
Yin Yang Xiao Gu said that her son Tongtong was faster than others in picking up money. Why was he so fast? Because he was short.
But who is Dongdong?
His fragile heart was hurt by Teacher Qian's words, and he was extremely furious!
In front of everyone, Dongdong took out a small landmine, lit the fuse with a lighter, and threw it onto the dining table.
The scene exploded instantly!
A group of old men were so frightened that they ran away in all directions. With the loud explosion, a puff of green smoke came out of the dining table, and all the pots and bowls were blown into a mess!
After the smoke cleared, Teacher Qian stood in front of the dining table, his face full of disbelief. He pointed at the table with trembling hands, his whole body shaking like a sieve.
Dong Dong said disdainfully: "So that you can know how powerful I am!"
He left in a domineering manner.
Teacher Qian wanted to pick up the ruler and give Dong Dong a good beating, but looking at his calf-like body, Teacher Qian weighed it in his mind and thought that the fight would probably be very ugly.
He sat down sullenly. Several old friends came back and looked at the messy table. They looked at each other, wondering whether they should eat or not.
Teacher Qian was extremely cowardly. He said bitterly, "When that little bastard's grandmother comes back, I'll cause trouble for his family!"
He had already thought of ten thousand ways to torture Dongdong, making him want to die but unable to!
However, the revenge afterwards could not save his table of food. Teacher Qian sighed and picked up a piece of leftover meat from the ground, feeling extremely distressed.
The white-haired old teacher said, "It's not okay to eat!"
Teacher Qian was helpless. He picked up the meat and decided to recycle it. He called out, "Ba Wang!"
Uncle Zhang's dog came running over, shaking his head.
The black-backed wolfhound sniffed the red meat, and Teacher Qian sighed, "You got a bargain!"
Who would have known that the next moment, the Overlord let out a low roar and turned into a vicious dog, baring his teeth and looking extremely ferocious.
It kicked its strong hind legs suddenly, flew into the air, and pounced on Teacher Qian.
Teacher Qian was attacked by the fierce dog and had no time to resist and was knocked to the ground.
Several old teachers were shocked.
Zhang Ruyun at the door suddenly shouted, "Overlord!"
The Overlord didn't listen and still pounced on Teacher Qian, baring his teeth at him and roaring like a wild beast.
Zhang Ruyun rushed over and tried to stop his fierce dog, fearing that it might bite someone. But before he could reach the edge, he heard Jiang Ning shouting, "Stupid."
The bully dog whimpered, quickly let go of Teacher Qian, and ran away obediently.
Zhang Ruyun was depressed: "Whose dog is it?"
He didn't have time to care about Xiaoben, but rushed to Teacher Qian and helped him up.
Fortunately, Teacher Qian was not bitten, otherwise Xiaoben would have died today.
Teacher Qian was so angry that he lost his mind. He was first humiliated by the naughty kid Dongdong, and then bullied by the vicious dog next door!
Teacher Qian kept shouting, "Where's your dad? Catch him. I fed him meat out of kindness, but he bit me!"
He had a lot of anger stuck in his heart and needed to vent it.
Zhang Ruyun consoled him with a few words and swept the meat off the ground. He asked, "Teacher, what kind of meat did you feed me?"
Teacher Qian said calmly: "It's the red meat your father gave me yesterday!"
Zhang Ruyun was silent for a while, then said, "My father gave you dog meat."
Teacher Qian also fell silent.
……
Jiang Ning appreciated the scene of unity and friendship among his neighbors and felt very pleased.
I never thought that they would start fighting among themselves without my intervention.
Jiang Ning swept Tongtong's kitchen with his spiritual sense. Chuchu had finished preparing the ingredients, and she was helping to light the fire, eating a pistachio from time to time.
Tongtong stood in front of the stove, responsible for cooking.
Jiang Ning felt that the time was about right, so he sent a message to Chuchu: "Is Chuchu there?"
Xue Chuchu noticed the notification tone, she freed her hands and replied, "Yes."
Jiang Ning: "Come to my room later and bring a pot. Two children will need to eat at noon."
After Xue Chuchu received the message, she stared at the words "two children" and thought for a few seconds. Tongtong was one child, so who was the other child?
Xue Chuchu replied: "We have guests? Do you need to prepare an extra set of dishes and chopsticks?"
Jiang Ning replied: "No."
Xue Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Jiang Ning meant.
It turns out that in Jiang Ning's heart, she is also a child?
Inexplicably, she felt a little warm in her heart, as if suddenly, she didn't feel so alienated anymore.
She became a part of it.
Tongtong, who was cutting vegetables, noticed Chuchu's strange behavior and curled her lips: "You two have a really good relationship. You must be planning to have another table for lunch, right?"
