Chapter 2 People and Things in the Past
Jiang Ning followed her gaze and saw that there was a bubble tea shop opposite the station, and there were several people lined up at the door.
In 2013, the domestic bubble tea shops were far from reaching the level of flood in later generations, and a few years later, the bubble tea shops opposite the train station would also close down under the impact of various Internet celebrity franchise stores.
At this time, a cup of milk tea costs three or four yuan, which is about the same price as Coke, and with Jiang Ning's pocket money, he can afford to drink it.
If it was before, he would definitely buy it for Shen Qing'e, and he has always been generous to Shen Qing'e.
"Drink some water when you're thirsty." Jiang Ning's tone was normal.
Shen Qing'e: "Jiang Ning, are you in a bad mood?" ”
The girl was delicate, and she also discovered Jiang Ning's changes, Jiang Ning used to ask for her, but she took a car, as if she was a different person.
"Hmm." Jiang Ning didn't have the heart to deal with her.
Now that he was doing it all over again, his mind was on how to spend his life.
You still have to continue to study, otherwise if you suddenly don't study, your parents will have a lot of trouble.
Jiang Ning also wants to experience the carefree student days again.
When he graduated from college, he entered the society, buried himself in busy work, endured all kinds of hypocrisy day after day, and dreamed of returning to his youth countless times.
You have to live a good life, and you have to live up to the past.
In modern society, money is indispensable, with money, he can live better when he moves away from his uncle's house.
"Qing'e, Qing'e."
A voice in the distance came into Jiang Ning's ears.
Across the road, a woman of twenty-five or sixteen stood in front of the car and waved at the two of them, she was the wife of her cousin.
"Sister." Shen Qing'e forgot the unhappiness just now, put a sweet smile on her face, and carried the box across the zebra crossing.
"Hey, if it weren't for your brother-in-law being too busy these days, I'd have asked him to drive to town to pick you up." The sister-in-law took Shen Qing'e's hand and spoke affectionately.
Then she looked over and looked at Jiang Ning:
"You're Jiang Ning."
"Well, hello cousin-in-law." Jiang Ning nodded, still with a faint smile.
In his previous life, he lived in his uncle's house, and his sister-in-law actually didn't welcome him, and even disliked it, but he didn't see it at the beginning, but now that he has done it again, he already knows it.
"Get in the car."
After putting the suitcase, Jiang Ning sat in the back seat.
The car starts, there are not many vehicles along the way, and the traffic jam in the urban area of Yuzhou City is far less serious than that of later generations.
My sister-in-law just got her driver's license this year, and while she was driving, she chatted with Shen Qing'e in the passenger seat, chatting until she got up, and laughed twice from time to time.
Jiang Ning, who was sitting in the back seat, silently fastened his seat belt.
He used to be an immortal cultivator, but that was once, and now he is a mortal in the flesh after all, if he is hit and killed in a car accident, he will have a lot of fun.
Jiang Ning remembers clearly that next year, her sister-in-law drove into a broken bone with a car, and she was fully responsible for the accident and paid 180,000 yuan.
If this is the case, Jiang Ning did not remind his sister-in-law to pay attention to driving, which will only increase the disgust.
Ten minutes later, the car drove into a mid-to-high-end community.
The sister-in-law parked the car in the underground garage and led the two to the elevator to the ninth floor.
The house of the uncle's family is a large flat floor, 180 square meters, five bedrooms and two living rooms, and the family still looks spacious when they live together.
Uncle opened a restaurant in the urban area, the scale is not large, it has been open for 15 years, it belongs to a well-known old store, and many old customers are cheering on weekdays.
In recent years, the business has been good, and it can earn three or four hundred thousand yuan a year, and this set of large flats is the profit of the hotel for more than two years.
The house in Yuzhou City will not usher in a skyrocketing price until 2017, and now the house will rise from 5,000 to 8,000 in a year, and then break 10,000 all the way.
"Qing'e and Jiang Ning are here, come in." The aunt stood in the doorway and took out two pairs of slippers and handed them over.
Jiang Ning changed into shoes and stepped on the wooden floor and walked in the door.
The decoration of the house is biased towards the Chinese style, the uncle has not gone to school, he likes the combination of Chinese and Western, uses the old-fashioned decoration scheme, and the ceiling is also hung with a very fancy Chinese and European combination headlamp, highlighting a unique aesthetic.
"Put the luggage here, I'll show you the room." The aunt led the two of them, "If you need anything, tell me at any time, and I'll take you to buy it." ”
At this time, Jiang Ning spoke: "Auntie, don't bother, I plan to rent a house nearby to live in, so that I can read books on a regular basis." ”
As soon as these words came out, the aunt was stunned, and her husband agreed to let Jiang Ning move in, but she was very unhappy.
Poor relatives in the countryside can help, but directly let people live at home, and live for three years, is it like words?
But her husband had agreed, and she was annoyed, but she couldn't go back on her face for the sake of face.
Now that Jiang Ning couldn't take the initiative to put it forward, she was surprised.
"Read, you can read it at my house!" She discouraged.
Jiang Ning still insisted: "No need, I'll make a phone call with my parents later to confirm this matter, it happens that there are still a few days before the start of school, and I will take advantage of these days to find a house." ”
Jiang Ning said it clearly, but her aunt didn't persuade her again, she was afraid that if Jiang Ning changed her mind, she would be unlucky.
"Okay, you call your parents first, and the room at home will be kept for you at any time."
"Uh-huh." Jiang Ning nodded.
After this experience, the aunt's attitude was a lot more eager, peeling fruits, and asking for warmth was one set, which made Jiang Ning a little uncomfortable.
After taking a moment's time, Jiang Ning went out.
He took out his mobile phone to check the time, and the 3.5-inch screen showed five o'clock in the afternoon.
The screen home page has several game icons, Temple Run, Fruit Cutting, Crocodile Bath, and Ainodia 3.
Touching the smartphone, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
This is a copycat machine, when he was in the third year of junior high school, his father bought it for 300 yuan in the business hall, although it was cheap and cheap, but it carried many memories for him.
Even if he later worked and got paid, gritted his teeth and bought the latest fruit mobile phone, it was only a novelty for a week.
He called his mom.
Jiang Ning was the point as soon as he exited: "Mom, I want to rent a house next to No. 4 Middle School by myself." ”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a gentle voice came:
"What's the matter, son, aren't you used to living in your uncle's house?"
After hundreds of years, hearing her mother's voice again, Jiang Ning really felt all kinds of things in her heart.
He took two deep breaths, eased a little, and said:
"Mom, the uncle's family is very good, but the two families are far away, no matter what, they have some raw points, and they will live together in the future, and their living habits will be different, maybe there will be contradictions, and it will be difficult for the uncle to do it at that time.
So, I want to rent a house by myself, and go to my uncle's house often, aren't all my relatives like this, my former classmates, who went to high school, also have a lot of rented houses outside, for dinner, I usually eat in the school cafeteria, Saturdays and Sundays, and cook by myself. ”
In Jiang Ning's heart, his mother Dong Yun is very gentle with him, since he was a child, she has never beaten him, and she will listen to him carefully.
"Son, you have grown up, you have an idea, you can say so, mother believes in you."
"Your father's side, I'll tell you, you have to pay attention to your body, eat well, don't be competitive, when you rent a house, I'll go back and call your uncle."
Mom took the trouble to advise a lot, listening to her voice, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel irritable, but chatted with her, and hung up the phone after a few minutes.
Not long after, a text message came: Dear Jiang Ning, your savings account with the tail number XXXX was transferred to 2,000 yuan, and the balance was 2,200 yuan.
"Son, take a look when you rent a room, I'll transfer it to you if the money is not enough."
"Okay, I remember." Jiang Ning closed the screen, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's good that my parents are healthy and I'm young.
It's not too late.
