Fang Ning stood on the stool, tore off a page from the calendar hanging on the wall, and looked at it carefully, July 1st, the founding day of the party, it is advisable to sacrifice and avoid traveling.

He thought about it, no one in the family should have traveled far recently, but there were two who came home.

At the beginning of this month, a new chapter was opened, and the news on television sets particularly focused on the celebration of the 15 th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, which was held in Hong Kong at the inauguration ceremony of the fourth government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

There are not many people who have anything to do with this matter, but they are very concerned about the gossip and scandals of several little stars.

And then there is nothing more to worry about than the apocalyptic rhetoric, especially in the Mayan culture, which predicted that the earth would have a major catastrophe on December 21 of this year, or a vision of three consecutive days of darkness and night.

Before this incident happened, it was enough to attract attention, arouse all kinds of conspiracy theories among the vast number of conspiracy scholars, and cause everyone to be in danger and panic.

However, Fang Ning, who came from five years later, knew that the end of the world was nonsense.

If it's really the end of the world, where will Fang Ning return to the current era.

Fang's mother and Fang's father came back from Yueyang, made a few phone calls to report safety, Fang Wei asked again, but there was still no movement in the same place, it turned out that they had not waited for the return car, and they waited for several hours, until the sun went down, and they arrived at Tianyue Cultural Square in Pinghai County.

Fang Ning had to trouble Uncle Chen Hailin to drive over and pick up his parents back.

Chen Hailin has been a lot of fat recently, his originally resolute face with obvious lines has also been rounded, and his double chin is obvious, from a shrewd and capable person to a pot-bellied and deformed uncle.

"Recently, I have been socializing a lot, and my stomach is not very good, I eat too much greasy like this, and I get up several times every night Alas......" Chen Hailin felt that he was sick all over his body, and his back pain was an old problem, but recently his neck and cervical spine have also hurt. I went to see it a few times, and the doctor prescribed some medicine, and the recommendation was to recuperate for a few months. But he has no choice, his wife and children have to live, and he has a job alone, and he is under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, he listened to his wife's suggestion before, invested in Fang Ning's house, and shared some dividends, which finally relieved some of the pressure.

Recently, Fang Ning's family is not having a good time, grandpa is a little worried, this month is the peak of the summer high temperature, what is the hottest? The weather forecast has issued a high temperature warning for several consecutive days, and the southern region will usher in the hottest days, the hot sun seems to be able to melt the molten iron, if you go out in the daytime without sunscreen and sun umbrellas, it is enough to take a walk around in the high temperature to lose your skin, and in serious cases, heat stroke may occur.

In the high temperature, all spicy things naturally have no market, hot pot, spicy, spicy shrimp pot, all stand aside, only cold drinks and watermelon are summer favorites!

Under such a boom, Fang Ning's shop was naturally very sluggish.

In the past, the door was full of people, but now it is a door.

Fang Lan sat under the air conditioner and blew the air conditioner, her collar was torn open, a pot of cold water was placed on the table, and she poured cold water into her mouth with a tea spout every once in a while, but despite this, the heat still came out of her body, and the heat was uncomfortable. The staff in the store are listlessly wiping the table, or they are all sitting under the air conditioner playing with their mobile phones, and there are no customers anyway, and they are idle. Seeing that the morning had passed, a couple came, and they left after walking around the door, Fang Lan simply waved his hand to let the gang disband and go home to rest.

Fang Ning rode a motorcycle, walked around a few times, and saw that the shops were all closed, so he had to go back the same way, riding a motorcycle, wearing sunglasses, galloping on the road, the hot wind blowing in the air made his cheeks a little hot, the water in his body was decreasing little by little, his lips were dry, and his mouth was dry. He knew that he couldn't stay outside for too long, or he would risk heat stroke, so he turned the accelerator all the way to the maximum, ran a few traffic lights and disappeared at the end of the street, kicking up dust all over the ground.

Fang Ning called Lao Tan, originally he was not hopeful, but he got through and learned that Lao Tan was too unrighteous and was now in Harbin for the summer.

His parents are both begging for a living in Harbin, I heard that they also make alloy doors and windows, the business is not very good, barely enough to mix food and clothing, he also has a younger brother, who has been living with his parents over there, only Lao Tan has been left in his hometown alone, and has lived with his second uncle since he was a child, in addition to the tuition fees that must be paid, he will give two or three hundred lives every month, this money is obviously not enough to live, so Fang Ning and their brothers can help with it.

"Last time Lao Le called you, you didn't answer, the ghost knows where you went, I didn't expect you to go to Harbin?" Fang Ning said with a smile.

Lao Tan said: "It's still snowing here!"

"I'm so envious ......"

"How about it? Do you want to come and play? We have ice sculptures, snow sculptures, ice lanterns here. ”

"Forget it, you can play, I can't leave recently. Fang Ning shook his head regretfully, last time he saw the abnormal weather conditions on TV, the summer is scorching in the south, and the snow is snowing in the north, it is simply two worlds.

"By the way, Lao Guang, do you know where he is? I called him and the phone was shut down, and the door was closed when I went to his house, did the whole family go on a trip?"

"I don't know, he's elusive anyway, he can't get through the phone, you can find it on the buckle. ”

After Fang Ning got Lao Tan's guidance, he went to find him on the buckle, and sure enough, it didn't take long for his penguin to flash.

"Hey, Ning Ze, long time no see!" Lao Guang greeted happily, but there was still a faint sound of gunfights on his side, which seemed to be playing a game of Counter-Strike.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been messing around for more than a month?" Fang Ning opened the door and reminisced with him by the way.

"Don't mention it, I do things in Changsha, do part-time jobs, deliver meals to others, get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, work more than cows, eat worse than pigs, and earn less than anyone else!"

“…… Hahaha!" Fang Ning's tears of laughter came out.

"It's not my mother who forced me, saying that the tuition fee for the second year of high school would not be paid, so that I could learn to be independent, and I was thrown to a relative's house in Changsha, and I was tormented to do things, and then they went out to travel. ”

"Then you're miserable. Fang Ning was slightly sympathetic for a few seconds, and then asked him when he would come back and have a dinner time.

Lao Guang sighed and said that he would take a look first, and then he would say that he would come back, and it was estimated that he would soon start school, and he would have to do things for two months before he paid his salary, and it was impossible to leave halfway through.

"Okay, but can you pay for your phone? I don't know where to look for you. ”

Lao Guang scratched his head, saying that my mobile phone is five or six hundred in arrears, and it has long been useless, and the communication basically relies on yelling, and finally seeing Fang Ning's face turn dark, he came up with a compromise solution, leaving the phone number of his roommate here to Fang Ning, and he can find him if he has something.

Fang Ning chatted with him for half an hour, and was disgusted for delaying him to play games, so he hung up the phone directly.

Knowing that nothing happened to the two of them, he was much more relieved.

In the evening, the temperature dropped a lot, and after Fang Ning's family finished eating, they were ready to go out for a walk.

Grandpa and others walked towards the broken bridge, they could stand on the bridge and enjoy the night view of the riverside, watching the buildings across the river from scratch, and they had a different feeling in their hearts.

Fang's father and Fang's mother went to the old street to buy some snacks and clothes, and Fang Wei also followed.

Fang Ning didn't follow, he was going to go around the vicinity of No. 1 Middle School for a few laps, recently he found that there was an old man selling popcorn at the door of No. 1 Middle School, many people came to buy and eat, this thing used to be very common, I often ate it when I was a child, but now it is rare, especially the kind of popcorn tube, no one knows whether there is a safety hazard, there is a city management on the old street that basically does not allow this kind of thing to be sold, and it suddenly explodes, causing accidents and injuring people.

Four or five old men were playing chess around a table, and a bunch of people were standing next to them to watch the excitement, Fang Ning squeezed in with a smile and watched for a while, the two old men were not very good at chess, anyway, they were all playing to relieve boredom. Later, a middle-aged man with glasses came, holding his wrist, joined the battle group, and single-handedly overturned four or five uncles, won hundreds of yuan, and left.

Everyone didn't stop them, and a few uncles were disgraced, but they weren't very angry, on the contrary, they were in a very happy mood, and their mouths were scolding, and they didn't look convinced.

I heard a fat uncle next to him say that the man who won chess was called Li Yuanchang, a teacher in a middle school, or a Chinese teacher, because he often played chess with the masters, everyone is very familiar with it, but he played chess and gambled ten yuan at a time, and after winning a hundred yuan, he didn't play, and others pulled him to play chess, so he stopped and went home, it looked like a bottom line, and then came back after a few days, and the cycle repeated.

Fang Ning was amazed when he heard it, he didn't expect that there was such a person, like an ancient madman, with a perverse personality, but it was a pity that he left in a hurry and couldn't chat, which was a pity.

A few children crossed the zebra crossing, and when Fang Ning looked up, he saw an old man pushing a cart and coming out of the alley in a leisurely manner, with a black cylinder on the cart, a bit like a cannonball.

This is fried popcorn and ginseng rice, Fang Ning checked it on the Internet, knew the principle, put the rice in a closed cylinder and heat it at high temperature, so that the rice expands, forming a plump and crispy puffy rice grain-like food, similar to the popcorn production process eaten in the cinema, except that the popcorn is made of corn kernels, and the ginseng rice is made of rice.

Someone wanted to buy raw rice, but the uncle didn't say much, he was silent, opened the black cylinder, put the rice and saccharin together, sealed the cylinder, roasted it on the fire, and kept rolling the cylinder. Fang Ning could faintly hear the sound of "bang" and "bang" from afar, and when the ginseng rice was about to mature, the uncle put one end of the lid of the cylinder into a big pocket, and violently knocked on a mechanism on the lid of the cylinder, and the lid would open, and at the same time, the high-pressure environment in the cylinder would make a loud "boom" at this time. The steaming ginseng rice is basically ready, and the aroma is tangy.

Fang Ning also asked the uncle to make some ginseng rice and take it home as a snack.

Ginseng rice is delicious, but if you eat too much, your mouth is dry, and it is easy to get angry.

Grandpa ate some and didn't eat it, Fang's father and Fang's mother basically didn't eat, grandma and sister ate the most, and the consequences were obvious.

Fang's father and Fang's mother stayed at home for almost a week, and then bought a high-speed rail ticket to go back to Shenzhen.

Now they are not children anymore, and they are no longer as sad as before, because of the departure of their parents, after all, they have grown up, and growth will always erase all the pain.

After Fang Ning sent his parents away, the sword hanging above his head was gone, and he had the illusion of relief slightly, because he had only been educated by his grandparents since he was a child, and he was rarely disciplined and shackled by his parents, so he still felt uncomfortable.

And now the first problem that Fang Ning's family has to solve is the problem of difficult travel.

Grandpa has 50,000 yuan on him, which is his savings, the store is real estate, and the profit part cannot be used, after all, there are ten employees under his hands who open their mouths to eat.

Mom and Dad also took out 30,000 yuan, this is still the money that was discussed for a long time, as for how it was discussed, Fang Ning didn't know.

Anyway, they sent it over there, and they just sent it to Grandpa's account.

My aunt also took 50,000 yuan, originally she realized that she had calculated the money for the family to buy a car, but her uncle was different, after all, he only had one car at home, how could he take care of his mother's family in the mainland first? Uncle was good at everything, that is, his mother-in-law and mother-in-law were always thinking about the immediate interests, and secretly lost and froze her aunt's bank card application, and her money could not be used, so she could only secretly use her private card to give her grandfather.

My aunt is the most diligent person in the family, and she has brains and will make money, and she has saved six or seven million in the past few years, but in a place like Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, if you want to buy a house, it is still not easy to buy a few million, so you can only continue to save money or take out a loan.

She had some difficulties in funds, so she gave Fang Ning's family 50,000 yuan, and you can only watch the rest first, anyway, the old man doesn't have to pay attention to anything when driving, and he doesn't go out to show off, the first is still convenient to travel, and the second is comfortable.

Fang Wei and Fang Ning also took out 20,000 yuan, which was their private money, and they usually saved it but didn't spend it.

So I scraped together enough savings of about 150,000 yuan to buy an economical car.

Grandpa is a resolute character, he chose the model on the Internet, took Fang Ning to buy a car the next day, and didn't drive the car back until noon.

140,000 Volkswagen black cars, economical, spacious seats, mainly fuel-efficient, and then handed over to the clerk in the 4S store to get the license plate and other insurance, about 150,000 all done, without too much cumbersome way.

Grandpa showed off in the community for a few days, Fang Ning also smiled, of course, a car of hundreds of thousands of yuan is definitely not in line with the identity of the villa, but this year, just after paying off the other money, the money is not abundant, so it can only be used for the time being, and when the business becomes bigger in the future, it is not too late to change the car and drive, anyway, Fang Ning thinks so.
