Chapter 43: Don't Look Back

Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong stayed in the small garden for ten minutes, and the flow of people on the main road of the campus gradually dispersed.

"Let's go."

The two of them went out of the school gate, in front of the school gate is a long road of more than 200 meters, on both sides of the road are all kinds of shops, small supermarkets, milk tea shops, stationery stores, spicy hot shops, breakfast shops, dazzling.

The long road is relatively wide, and there are some modified tricycles parked on the side, selling all kinds of snacks, fried, oden and the like.

The place where Xue Yuantong is going is not this snack street, but the snack street that connects two nearby schools, the University of Finance and Economics, and the Vocational College of Commerce and Trade, and the scale of that street is several times larger than the entrance of the fourth middle school.

"Jiang Ning, it's too late for you to go back!" Ma Shicheng shouted.

He sat on a wooden chair in front of the small supermarket, holding a glass bottle of Coke in his hand and sticking a straw into it.

Jiang Ning looked up at the signboard of the small supermarket, "Yucai Supermarket." ’

"I'm going to go to the snack street, and you haven't come home yet?" Jiang Ning chatted with him.

"I'm going to go to the net inside." He lowered his voice and pointed to the inside of the 'Yucai Supermarket'.

There are some small supermarkets and restaurants near No. 4 Middle School, which are doing business on the surface, but behind the secret door, there are a few computers hidden for the boss to make extra money.

This side is close to the school, the price is not expensive, two or three yuan an hour, many students like to go in and surf the Internet, play CF, DNF, LOL and other games.

Like the students who come often, they have affectionately called this small supermarket as:

'Yucai Internet Cafe'.

"Okay, you play, let's go." Jiang Ning glanced at Xue Yuantong, and the little girl was quietly guarding beside him at this moment.

"Okay, see you next week!" Ma Shicheng made a dashing gesture.

He watched Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong walk away, one tall and one short, and sucked the Coke dry, he was not envious, for Ma Shicheng, the game was his favorite.

"Today's alliance, reward yourself with a Juggernaut." Horses come to heart.

……

After passing through the long road in front of the No. 4 Middle School Gate and walking a distance to the west, a bustling long street appeared in front of you.

Xue Yuantong's eyes were bright, as if she was hiding a star, and she shouted:

"Jiang Ning wants to eat moon cakes, fried crispy meat, Fuding meat slices, double skin milk, baked gluten, and Lantern Festival, his hawthorn Lantern Festival is super delicious!"

Xue Yuantong reported several snacks at a time.

"Have you finished eating?" Jiang Ning looked at her with disdain.

Xue Yuantong was unconvinced: "I can, absolutely can!" ”

"What about you? What are you going to eat? Xue Yuantong just finished asking, only to find that she had ordered a series of snacks just now, and the money didn't seem to be enough.

"My words, lamb burritos, a glass of rice wine, and then eat a little of your crispy meat, sliced meat, Lantern Festival.".

Xue Yuantong quickly mentally calculated, fortunately, the money was just right.

After deciding, she pulled Jiang Ning to line up, the two of you lined up here, and I lined up the other, and quickly bought all the snacks.

When she came to the Lantern Festival store, Xue Yuantong's remaining money was enough to buy a bowl of wontons, so she decisively bought a bowl of fresh meat wontons for Jiang Ning.

The counter of the Lantern Festival shop is located at the door, and the customers line up in a long line, and the aunt serves it directly to the bowl, and the customers themselves serve the table.

The Lantern Festival store is divided into two floors, the first floor is noisy, and the second floor has a better environment.

Xue Yuantong likes to go to the second floor to eat, but when she goes to the second floor with a bowl, she is always worried that she will accidentally bump into someone else and knock over the bowl, and she is very nervous every time she serves the bowl.

She hesitated whether to go to the second floor, tangled, and suddenly slapped on the shoulder:

"What are you doing? If you don't go to the second floor to grab a seat, you will have no table if you slow down. ”

Jiang Ning had just swept the second floor with his divine sense, and if Xue Yuantong went to occupy a place now, he would still be able to occupy the last small table for two.

Xue Yuantong looked back and saw Jiang Ning's face, his gaze moved down, Jiang Ning's little finger hooked the snack bag, and his index finger and thumb held the wonton bowl, looking very stable.

She pouted, "Are you okay?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Jiang Ning urged.

"Okay, I'll go first." Xue Yuantong took a step, turned around and came back, and took the snack bag hooked on Jiang Ning's little finger.

Xue Yuantong carried a snack: "I'll wait for you upstairs!" ”

She was agile and walked up the stairs to see the only table left and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Yuantong wiped the table and two chairs with a tissue, and then put bags of snacks on the table.

She sat on the chair, stayed there, and suddenly thought that she didn't have to serve the Lantern Festival carefully, and she didn't have to worry about it, because someone would serve the dishes for her.

She wasn't alone since.

Suddenly, a kind of numbness protruded from the forehead, and my heart seemed to be filled with something, steady, moved, and happy.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, which makes her extremely reassuring.

Even though she herself didn't know why she felt this way.

It seems that when I was a child, once my mother was sick and didn't make breakfast, she was so hungry that she was so hungry that she was aggrieved and shed tears.

When my mother saw it, she endured the discomfort, got up and cooked rice soup for her, fried two steamed buns, and fried a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers.

Mom cooked the meal and continued to go back to bed to sleep, she stood in front of the small dining table, just stunned.

The feeling at this time is very similar to that time.

She still remembers that there was no salt at home that day, and there was no salt in the shredded potatoes with green peppers, but it was the most delicious meal Xue Yuantong had ever eaten, and there was no one.

Jiang Ning put the two bowls on the table, and when she saw Xue Yuantong's stunned appearance, she shook her hand in front of her.

"Enchanted?" Jiang Ning muttered.

Xue Yuantong shook it, came back to his senses, and hummed:

"I didn't!"

"Alright, alright, let's eat!" She took a bite of the Lantern Festival, the hawthorn filling, sweet and sour, still the same taste.

She poked the small crispy meat with a bamboo skewer again, the surface of the crispy meat was sprinkled with spices, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, she squinted her eyes and had a little expression of enjoyment.

Seeing her eat so fragrantly, Jiang Ning was aroused by his appetite, and he also took a bamboo skewer and poked the crispy meat, which was unexpectedly delicious.

He ate several pieces in a row, causing Xue Yuantong to roll his eyes and snatch up all her crispy meat.

This 'Qiao Ji Crispy Meat' is an old shop, and it is still in business until Jiang Ning graduated from university, and the business is very good.

In the future, when most shops will join the takeaway platform, 'Qiao Ji Crispy Meat' still insists on only doing offline, because the boss is worried that the takeaway will affect the taste, so it has not been launched.

The same serving of crispy meat, now seven yuan, will later rise to ten yuan, and then to fifteen yuan.

Jiang Ning liked to eat 'Qiao Ji Crispy Pork' very much when he was in high school, but unfortunately the price of seven yuan per serving made him prohibitive, and every time he ate it, he would feel heartache.

In fact, there are a lot of delicious snacks on this street, but Jiang Ning didn't have much pocket money before, and he usually had to buy all kinds of things for Shen Qing'e.

There is not much money left, and everything is picked and searched.

His dream in high school was to one day be able to walk into this snack street, eat a lot of food, and completely get over the addiction without worrying about money.

It's a pity that this dream has never been realized in high school.

After many years, Jiang Ning graduated from university, returned to Yuzhou City, and re-embarked on this street, at that time he already had savings on him, and he would not care much about the cost of this snack.

With his thick wallet in his hand, he looked at the once bustling snack street and recalled the past years.

The naΓ―ve boy, the poor boy, the snacks that he couldn't afford, the unwantable requests in the past years, were all yesterday.

"Lao Tzu can eat whatever he wants now!"

"No one can stop me!"

Jiang Ning ate it one by one.

however

He only ate two or three snacks and couldn't eat anymore.

Is the taste changing?

No, those old shops are still well received.

It becomes a state of mind.

Stepping into society, all kinds of pressures are coming, the heavy reality is in front of him, housing prices, work, and future are reminding him all the time, you have to roll, you have to roll in, don't lie flat, otherwise you will be surpassed by others.

Just to be an ordinary person, he has done everything he can.

That day, Jiang Ning stood in front of the long street, looked at the hustle and bustle of the crowd, silently ate the rest of the food, and threw the bag into the trash.

Then he turned and walked away, striding forward, and it was a long road ahead.

And behind him, the embarrassed boy, standing in front of the food stall, munching on the food, smiling happily, will never grow up.

……

'If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine,

In the end, it is not like,

Juvenile Tour. ’

At that time, Jiang Ning thought that he would never go back.
