Chapter 280: Homecoming

Jiang Ning ignored Xue Yuantong.

Xue Yuantong didn't care: "Is what you like the same as what I like?" ”

Jiang Ning said: "I'm too lazy to choose. ”

As she spoke, Xue Yuantong moved to the back seat, and she moved slightly, for fear of upside down the cake and coconut milk jelly.

"Let's drive back to the palace!" Xue Yuantong slapped his seat.

Jiang Ning didn't move.

"What are you doing, let's go." She said presumptuously, "I'll go home and cook!" ”

Jiang Ning starts the mountain bike.

At lunchtime, Aunt Gu was still working in the company, and it was a busy time.

After Jiang Ning arrived home, he found a bench and sat in the kitchen, watching Xue Yuantong wash vegetables and cook the whole process.

Maybe it's because I bought the cake, Xue Yuantong cooked very fast today, a total of two dishes, fried squid with garlic, and home-style fried meat.

The staple food was Xue Yuantong's steamed steamed buns, although Jiang Ning still had spiritual rice in his hand, he didn't take it out.

He was worried that Xue Yuantong would eat too much, and he would not be used to eating the usual rice, so it would be good to eat it once in a while.

This time it is just a trial planting of spiritual rice, the quantity is not much, and when the next batch is mature, spiritual rice will be used as a daily staple food.

Pumpkin boiled rice soup, accompanied by small cakes and coconut milk jelly, the lunch is quite hearty.

Even if the meal was ready, Jiang Ning still didn't move, waiting for Xue Yuantong to serve the meal the whole time, and then gave the chopsticks to his mouth.

Anywhere, Jiang Ning's behavior will be condemned.

In his previous life, Jiang Ning lived in his uncle's house, and his parents gave his uncle 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses, Jiang Ning helped cook, was responsible for brushing pots and dishes, and mopping the floor and cleaning, otherwise it would be easy to be affected by his aunt's face.

Maybe it's a matter of course to live in someone else's house, but Shen Qing'e, who is also staying, doesn't have to do anything.

He himself had just come out of the countryside, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his mind was not mature, and in that environment, he had not considered going out to live, so he could only comply with his duty.

"It's time to eat, Jiang Ning!" Xue Yuantong shouted.

Jiang Ning came back to his senses, he smiled, and no longer thought about the past.

"yes, got it."

Xue Yuantong sandwiched garlic moss, took two bites, and his smart eyes aimed at the cake and coconut custard on the corner of the table from time to time.

She swallowed the pumpkin soup, which was slightly sweet.

"Jiang Ning, don't you eat cake?"

Jiang Ning glanced at her: "Do you want to eat?" ”

After Xue Yuantong heard this, he reacted violently like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:

"I don't eat, I'll ask."

Good to ask.

Jiang Ning said slowly, "Help me get a spoon." ”

Xue Yuantong: "There are spoons and forks in the cake. ”

Jiang Ning said in an unquestionable tone: "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

Xue Yuantong was furious in his heart, do you think you can be so arrogant just by relying on an insignificant cake?

Who gave you the confidence to provoke, doesn't she Tongtong want to lose face!

"Go get it, don't bother." Jiang Ning said.

You can't eat face, but you can't eat bread.

People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, and Xue Yuantong honestly brought a spoon for Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning untied the bag and took out the carton containing the cake, his fingers moved, the spoon rotated fancyly, and Xue Yuantong's little face was surprised.

'It's amazing, it's so handsome to turn the spoon!' ,

If she can turn like this, she will definitely shock her mother and Xue Chuchu!

It's a pity that Xue Yuantong disdains to learn such a simple technique.

Jiang Ning's fingers moved, and the spoon fell, like a sharp knife, falling towards the cake, and with a slight stroke, the cake was divided into two halves.

He dug a piece and put it in his mouth to taste.

Xue Yuantong looked anxious, Jiang Ning obviously cut half of it, but he didn't give it to her!

Xue Yuantong seems presumptuous on the surface, but she is very principled, and her mother's education since she was a child makes her measured.

If Jiang Ning didn't give it to her, she would rarely do it.

Jiang Ning slowly admired Xue Yuantong's demeanor, not to mention, her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping was indeed pleasing to the eye.

The more Jiang Ning didn't give it to her, the more Xue Yuantong wanted it.

For a while, her resentful little eyes seemed to be about to melt away for Jiang Ning.

At this time, Jiang Ning pointed to half a strawberry cake:

"Look what I do, this half is yours."

Xue Yuantong was overjoyed, and she couldn't pounce on it and swallow the cake, however, she was still reserved on the surface:

"Cut, I just said, you definitely can't finish eating, there's really no way, I'll reluctantly share a little for you."

She maintained her appearance, pretended to be normal, and took the cake.

In addition to the cake, there was also coconut milk jelly, Jiang Ning didn't tease her anymore.

Tease once a day, no more, no less.

After Xue Yuantong fulfilled his small wish, he began to talk to Jiang Ning:

"Jiang Ning, are you going out to be busy tomorrow?"

"Don't go out." Last time I went out, I found some of the materials for the flying sword, and the rest of the materials were just waiting for Shao Shuangshuang's notice.

Xue Yuantong sighed and said, "I'll go out tomorrow." ”

Jiang Ning knew in advance with his divine sense, but he still listened to her:

"There is a neighbor in the village who is sick and has just been discharged from the hospital, she used to be very good to our family and helped us a lot, and my mother plans to go home to see it."

"My mother told me to work overtime on weekends, and it just so happened that the company was very busy these two days, and she didn't plan to work overtime and wanted to go home to visit her neighbors."

Xue Yuantong: "I thought about it and told my mother that she would continue to work, and I would go back to her hometown to visit the neighbors for her, hehe, Jiang Ning, am I amazing?" ”

She can already be the master of the house, and she can do this kind of out-of-office appearance.

"Amazing, amazing."

"Of course, I used to miss my grandparents, and I went home by myself!" Xue Yuantong was proud.

At that time, she was still a junior high school student, and her mother did not have a holiday on Saturdays and Sundays, and she took the car back to the village by herself, and she was not afraid at all.

"Okay, then you can go home." Jiang Ning said.

"Oh." Xue Yuantong replied sullenly and continued to eat.

After a while, she asked, "Then I'm home, how do you eat at noon?" ”

Jiang Ning said, "Just do it." ”

Xue Yuantong was entangled in his heart, Jiang Ning's three meals a day on weekdays were all taken care of by her, what if she left home and Jiang Ning didn't have to eat?

She sees her responsibility as having a responsibility.

When he was about to finish eating, Xue Yuantong asked tentatively: "Tomorrow you and I will go back to the village?" ”

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate: "Okay." ”

Xue Yuantong was stunned: "Agreed?" ”

Jiang Ning: "Otherwise? ”

……

Last class on Friday afternoon.

Gao He Shuai not only did not delay the court, but disappeared five minutes early.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Shan Kaiquan stood up, and he shouted to the back row:

"Kunnan, let's go to the playground together!"

He didn't lower his voice, even though the class had just ended and the class was chaotic, there were still many classmates around him who could hear it.

Shan Kaiquan's afterglow inadvertently swept over Bai Yuxia, and sure enough, Bai Yuxia looked over.

Guo Kunnan responded: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

Shan Kaiquan said loudly: "I'm not going home today, go to the playground and run a hundred meters, you help me time it!" ”

Recently, in order to prepare for the Games, Shan Kaiquan used 12 successful forces, he followed the online tutorial, standardized running movements, and ran to exercise only as soon as he was free every day.

Not only running, but also squats and push-ups.

In addition, he drinks two cartons of pure milk and three eggs every day, and cooks food in the restaurant at the school gate every day.

All for the medal of the Games.

Guo Kunnan said: "Okay! ”

Shan Kaiquan: "Practice him!" ”

After Dong Qingfeng listened, he felt that Shan Kaiquan was too capable of pretending, similar to those students who like to pretend to study, working hard every day, all kinds of punching cards to study, coming earlier than chickens, leaving later than dogs, and the results showed their original form when they came to the exam.

Dong Qingfeng boasted: "You work so hard, you will definitely be able to win the award, right?" ”

This trick is called killing, Dong Qingfeng learned it from Chen Qian, but unfortunately, Chen Qian has been reading and studying every day recently, and he doesn't chat with Wang Yong much.

Shan Kaiquan didn't hear Dong Qingfeng's words, only when Dong Qingfeng was really praising him, Bai Yuxia hadn't left at this time, and many classmates around him watched, how many young people didn't float?

Shan Kaiquan boasted about Haikou: "My goal is simple, let's take the top three." ”

Dong Qingfeng saw him take the bait, and praised in front of the whole class:

"You can, you have to get the prize, show me the medal when the time comes!"

After finishing speaking, Dong Qingfeng was satisfied, and his classmates heard it, and once Shan Kaiquan didn't win the award, he would translate these words again.

Let Shan Kaiquan always oppose him, this time it is self-inflicted.

With this in mind, Dong Qingfeng left happily.

Shan Kaiquan was equally happy, and he pretended to be fierce in front of the whole class.

……

Saturday.

Xue Yuantong got up early in the morning rarely, she rubbed her eyes, and before she washed, she ran to the next door and knocked on the door.

"Jiang Ning get up quickly, otherwise he won't be able to catch the car."

It's only half past five, and it's just getting light.

Jiang Ning didn't want to get up, but Xue Yuantong kept urging.

After breakfast, the time was half past six.

Xue Yuantong carried a small schoolbag, carefully checked the power switch at home, and locked the door.

Jiang Ning rode a bicycle to take Xue Yuantong to the bus station.

Xue Yuantong's hometown is located in Xinhong County, 50 kilometers away from Yuzhou City, and most of the people who come and go choose to do intercity buses, with a fare of 10 yuan.

If you are willing to spend money, you can take a taxi, the price of carpooling is about 20 to 40 yuan, if you charter a car, it is expensive, you need 80 yuan.

Although it is only half past six, there are quite a few people in Heba, most of them are elderly people running and exercising.

Under the command of Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning rode a bicycle and overtook one runner after another.

There was a child who was exercising with his father, who seemed to be unconvinced, and spread his legs to race with Jiang Ning's mountain bike.

Jiang Ning deliberately maintained a just right driving speed, hanging the child, Xue Yuantong changed his face and taunted in the back, and gave the child half to death.

Jiang Ning stepped on the pedal slightly, completely widening the distance.

The bus station is 5 kilometers away from Heba, and in the morning in the urban area, there are fewer people and fewer cars, so Jiang Ning took more than 10 minutes to ride to the destination.

He found a place to park, locked the mountain bike, and put a psionic mark.

Jiang Ning finished buying the ticket and entered the waiting hall with Xue Yuantong.

All the way to the window that says 'Xinhong County,' on it.

Xue Yuantong found two empty chairs, intimately wiped them clean with paper towels, and sat down with Jiang Ning.

The waiting hall is very spacious, and the large floor tiles reflect the stains.

Xue Yuantong was a little restrained, his legs together, and he looked at the surrounding environment.

She suddenly asked, "Jiang Ning, are you cold?" ”

"It's not cold."

"Oh, I'm not cold either." Xue Yuantong is dressed simply today, with an avocado-colored sweatshirt on his upper body, slightly loose jeans on his pants, and white sneakers on his feet.

Waiting for the departure time, there were more and more passengers at the window of Xinhong County, and there was a long queue.

Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning came early and were in front.

Until the window fence opens, people rush in and board the intercity bus.

Xue Yuantong chose the position of the penultimate row, she sat by the window, and Jiang Ning sat next to her, protecting her.

The corners of Xue Yuantong's mouth curved, she used to sit alone in the car, and she was most worried about the strange passengers sitting next to her.

Sometimes when he met some very big aunts and uncles, Xue Yuantong silently shrank towards the window, for fear of being touched or bumping into others.

It's much better now, with Jiang Ning by her side, she doesn't have to be careful.

'That's nice. , Xue Yuantong sighed in his heart, so safe.

The experience of riding in the car is completely different from before!

She looked out the car window, and there was a bus parked in the parking lot that was going to Guyang County next door, and she remembered that Jiang Ning's hometown was in Guyang County.

There were more and more passengers in the car, and there were many middle school students about their age, some of whom were carrying suitcases.

By the end, the seats in the coach were full.

Some passengers stood holding on to the handrails, and the environment inside the car became noisy.

Several middle-aged men and women in the back row seemed to be together, chatting and laughing with their mouths wide open.

Before the bus started, Xue Yuantong took out the earphones and gave Jiang Ning half of them:

"No."

Jiang Ning snapped his fingers lightly, and the surrounding noise gradually decreased, which did not attract Xue Yuantong's attention.

The intercity bus starts and slowly drives out of the bus station.

Xue Yuantong straightened her waist and looked left and right excitedly, she didn't even know what she was new.

She noticed diagonally opposite, a young couple leaning close, each with headphones, like them.

Xue Yuantong unconsciously pasted Jiang Ning's side and stuck to him with his body.

50 kilometers away, the intercity bus drove for an hour and 20 minutes to arrive at the Xinhong County Bus Station.

Xue Yuantong's hometown in Humiao Town, a subordinate of Xinhong County, got off the intercity bus, and needed to transfer another bus.

This section of the road is 30 kilometers long.

Jiang Ning looked at the sun and determined the current time, although they got up very early, it was already half past eight.

Xue Yuantong dragged him: "Come with me, I know where to wait for the car!" ”

She took Jiang Ning to a platform in the county, in the past two years, Xinhong County has vigorously demolished and rectified, and the platform has just been built, new and wide.

An elderly man carrying a snakeskin bag, a woman carrying a red plastic bag, a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette, and a student with a schoolbag standing and waiting for the bus.

From time to time, a black car drove by, shouting and soliciting customers.

Jiang Ning also met the driver who asked him, but Xue Yuantong refused.

Xue Yuantong is not very old and has little experience, but she knows how to avoid danger, go out alone, and never only do buses.

Aunt Gu told her that there are drivers of black cars in the township, and some people buy a second-hand car and start to solicit private customers directly.

When you go out, you can't do without the heart of guarding against people.

Even with Jiang Ning by his side now, Xue Yuantong was unwilling to take risks.

Xue Yuantong grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist with his small hand and stood quietly.

She looked across the platform, surrounded by a red advertising wall, and inside, the construction site was underway.

In the sky, a huge tower crane starts.

Xue Yuantong knew that he was building a building again.

Every time she goes back to her hometown, she always feels a huge change, and she realizes that times are moving forward.

Xue Yuantong was inexplicably confused about this change.

Sometimes, she thinks about the distant future, what should her future look like?

With Jiang Ning, do you grow up together?

Since when did she think about the future and bring Jiang Ning with her?

Xue Yuantong recalled the past scenes.

Unconsciously, a bus from Xinhong County to Humiao Town came.

The ticketing lady grabbed the car door and shouted at the top of her voice: "Hu Miao, Hu Miao." ”

Xue Yuantong's thoughts returned.

The people around them picked up their luggage and approached the car door.

She took Jiang Ning's wrist, looked at the people in front of her who were scrambling to get into the car, and smiled:

"The car is coming, let's go."
