Chapter 464: His Shadow

July 19, River Dam.

Jiang Ning was the only one in the bedroom.

Uncle Jiang Qitian's loud voice rang from the speaker of his mobile phone: "When will you come to my place for a meal, your cousin and they plan to travel in two days, saying that they are going to Qindao to see the sea, you can go together, and I won't let you pay a penny." ”

After he finished speaking, his aunt's warm voice rang from the telephone receiver:

"That's right, Ning Ning, it's not a hassle to have one more person, let's come together, there are more people."

Jiang Ning was stunned, so many times in his previous life, every time he traveled, his aunt never invited him, and Shen Qing'e always accompanied him.

Every time people come back from a trip, my sister-in-law and Shen Qing'e sit in the living room and talk about what they have seen and heard along the way, scenery, food, and humanities, how interesting it is.

Jiang Ning couldn't join at all, so he could only laugh dryly beside him.

Occasionally, Shen Qing'e will show the photos she took outside, telling him how sorry it is that you didn't go.

Those memories involuntarily appeared in his mind, Jiang Ning's expression did not change, he refused:

"No, I just came back from outside, and I'm going to rest at home for a while."

After a few perfunctory words, Jiang Ning hung up the phone.

Maybe do it all over again, the past experience is not worth referencing, but there are always things that cannot be erased in a lifetime.

On the large flat floor in the urban area, Shen Qing'e was listening to their phone call, and after hearing Jiang Ning's refusal clearly, her heart couldn't help but sink.

A few days ago, my sister decided to travel to Qindao, and she was very interested, especially her sister's family, and she was ready to invite Jiang Ning.

It made Shen Qing'e think a lot more.

If you can travel with Jiang Ning, maybe... Maybe take this opportunity to ask Jiang Ning why there have been so many changes in the past year, and maybe it is possible to repair the relationship.

Unfortunately, he didn't agree.

Shen Qing'e was stunned.

Some time ago, Jiang Ning ascended Mount Tai, and she used a little means to get a lot of news from Yu Wen.

She rarely has contact with Jiang Ning, but Shen Qing'e knows his every move very well.

Pity...

……

Jiang Ning didn't waste his emotions, he sat in the room for a while, got up and played with Xue Yuantong.

Jiang Ning found Xue Chuchu's bedroom, and saw Tongtong lying on the desk writing, and Chu Chu sitting on the edge of the bed playing with iPad.

He almost thought he had read it wrong.

In the past, the positions of the two should have been reversed.

Jiang Ning paused, then retreated to the door, deliberately glancing at the sun in the sky.

He was amazed: "Yo, it's strange, the sun didn't come out in the west?" ”

Xue Yuantong's insight was amazing, and she saw a small detail, Jiang Ning mocked herself, she immediately unfolded the paper in her hand, and said in a dignified manner:

"I'm working on future travel plans!"

Jiang Ning's consciousness was lifted, and he saw that the paper read: "Nanshi, Huangshan, porcelain capital, grassland, see the sea..."

and so on, or for the purpose of playing.

Xue Yuantong pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I made a strategy for future travel, and you actually sarcastically mocked me!" ”

"Jiang Ning, our relationship has changed!"

As she spoke, she memorized the information on the paper, closed her two small hands in the middle, and played with it twice, and a blank piece of paper suddenly became crumpled.

"The relationship between us, like this piece of paper, once wrinkled, can no longer be smoothed!" Xue Yuantong wanted him to know the seriousness of the problem.

By the way, under this pretext, Jiang Ning was falsely accused of a large watermelon, three peaches, a bunch of red grapes, two tomatoes...

No, you can't think about it anymore, otherwise Xue Yuantong's face won't be able to hold back.

Xue Chuchu read the book quietly, on the surface, he didn't get involved in the struggle between the two of them at all, but in fact, he was extremely concerned in the mainland.

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand, took the worn-out piece of paper, and looked at it, it was indeed very wrinkled.

Xue Yuantong clasped his hands on his chest and looked up at him with dignity.

Jiang Ning: "It's okay. ”

He brought the water cup on the desk, poured the water down, soaked the white paper, and then threw it on the window, and the white paper "snapped" and pasted, and suddenly, it became smooth again.

Jiang Ning said: "Look, it's the same as before." ”

Xue Yuantong was speechless.

Xue Chuchu covered his mouth and snickered.

Thanks to Jiang Ning's ability to reverse black and white, Xue Yuantong didn't bother with Jiang Ning, and she continued to plan for summer vacation.

Today is the 19th, and she is ready to leave on the 22nd.

This time, she plans to play outside for a month, spend all the travel cards sent by the Evergreen Liquid Company, and come back on August 22.

When the time comes, it's time for a big flood.

She kept her promise and did not forget the promise with Bai Yuxia and the twins.

"Chu Chu, together?" Xue Yuantong purchased tickets online.

Xue Chuchu wanted to join them, but she had to take classes.

Shook his head helplessly, indicating that he would forget it.

Xue Yuantong regretted it at first, and then looked forward to it: "After graduating from the third year of high school, we have a long summer vacation, and I will take you out to play." ”

"Uh-huh." Xue Chuchu agreed.

"It's not enough to just say yes, hook your fingers!" Xue Yuantong turned the chair and tried to turn his body around, but found that he couldn't turn it.

It turned out that Chuchu's chair was a wooden chair, not a high-end chair of Jiang Ning's family.

She had to put her feet down with great effort and twist them a little.

The two girls hooked their little fingers, and Jiang Ning said on the side, "Childish." ”

Then Xue Yuantong pulled him over and stamped him again.

……

Afternoon.

A pickup truck drove to the river dam bungalow.

The driver opened the body, and inside was a wooden cabinet for books, other miscellaneous items.

The driver helped move down, and after letting Xue Chuchu sign for it, he left.

Zhang Ruyun, a college student next door, walked around, looked at the heavy wooden cabinet, put his mobile phone to the side, and said to Xue Chuchu:

"I'll give you a hand!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning picked up the cabinet with one hand and transported it to the house.

Xue Chuchu smiled at Zhang Ruyun in return.

Xue Yuantong followed closely and ran into the courtyard.

Recently, as Hua Fengmei paid her salary, she took out part of it to pay off her foreign debts, and the rest of the money was used to buy some furniture at home.

After the river dam, it will be their home, and they will probably live for a lifetime, so they are naturally very attentive.

The wooden cabinet is very new, and it seems that not long after it was made, Xue Chuchu fetched a basin of water, wiped it carefully, and put the cabinet in her bedroom in the future.

'Let's ventilate for a few days before we move. She decided in her heart.

Xue Yuantong rotated around the cabinet, and after a while, she sighed: "I used to have a cabinet in my house that was very similar. ”

Xue Chuchu's cold face moved, and he wanted to speak.

Xue Yuantong hurriedly covered her mouth.

At that time, Xue Yuantong was very young, only a few years old, and he liked to drink a drink called 'wahaha'.

There were four bottles of wahaha, and she could easily drink them all at once.

For her family, it is still a big burden.

Mom was shocked by her and decided not to indulge her, so she hid Wahaha in the cupboard.

Every morning, my mother takes out a bottle of wahaha from the locked cabinet on time, just like the hen at home lays eggs on time.

The young Xue Yuantong was very ignorant, and once thought that the wooden cabinet at home would give birth to a bottle of wahaha every day.

She looked forward to it every day, until one day, Xue Yuantong ran out of patience, and she went to Chu Chu's house to borrow a saw.

That day, Xue Yuantong's house was very noisy.

……

On July 20th, nothing happened.

July 21st, the day before the tour departs.

A few days before the departure of the last trip, Xue Yuantong was very flustered, confused about the outside world, and talked to Jiang Ning from time to time to seek a sense of security.

However, this time, she has grown a lot, just as a distraction, and she does not panic at all.

Early in the morning, Xue Chuchu started school today, and she still got up early in the morning to cook for Tongtong and Jiang Ning.

Breakfast was green vegetable tofu and egg noodles, and Xue Chuchu beat a total of 6 poached eggs, 2 per person.

In addition, a dish of shredded kidney beans with sauce was stir-fried as a side dish for dinner.

After the noodles were served, Xue Chuchu was ready to drip some sesame oil to enhance the fragrance.

But the sesame oil bottle has bottomed out, and for Jiang Ning, noodles without sesame oil have no soul.

He tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and ordered, "Tongtong, go, bring the oil bottle at home." ”

Xue Yuantong immediately glared at him, why didn't he go, he would squeeze himself!

She didn't agree, she should have the spirit of resistance!

The weaker you are, the more rampant others will be!

"Let's go, I'll take you to the city for ice cream in the afternoon." Jiang Ning gave a lure.

"Okay!" Xue Yuantong was overjoyed, like a small whirlwind.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the kitchen instantly turned cold.

Xue Chuchu smiled politely, and the state of her and Jiang Ning was probably respectful to each other.

Jiang Ning also smiled, he picked up the chopsticks, flicked them to Tongtong's bowl, turned out her two poached eggs, and put them in his own bowl.

Xue Chuchu: "..."

She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning gave her a poached egg and dragged her onto the thief ship.

Xue Chuchu hurriedly shirked it, and Jiang Ning said: "Last time, Tongtong stole your poached eggs, did you forget?" ”

Xue Chuchu said seriously: "It's okay for me. ”

She took two poached eggs from her bowl and made up for Tongtong.

Jiang Ning: "..."

After co-authoring for a long time, he ate Chu Chu's poached eggs.

……

11 a.m.

I don't know what kind of demon wind has gone out in the group, Guo Kunnan said that he was black in the group, and Huang Yuzhu said that he was even darker in order to comfort him.

Cui Yu said that he was as thin as a monkey, and Shan Xiao said that he was called uncle.

Guo Kunnan was not convinced, and brought Shan Kaiquan to stand up for his ugliness.

Everyone actually started to compare ugliness and chatted happily.

In the end, Pang Jiao jumped out, and Cui Yu said that professional players were forbidden to participate.

When he was in the middle of his life, Lu Qiqi came out and scolded: "It's too much, I was having lunch at McDonald's just now, and there was a man smoking, smoking!" ”

"Smoked me to death, I asked the waiter to stop him, but he didn't listen! Oh, my God! How can there be such a person, this kind of man is so damned! ”

Dong Qingfeng said: "Smoking in public is really bad, and the quality is very low. ”

Guo Kunnan: "Yes, I don't like the smell of smoke. ”

Perhaps it was to arouse empathy, Wang Yanyan jumped out and said: "Some men really deserve to die, I met a cross-legged one on the train, oops, I have no place at all." ”

Zhang Yifei jumped out: "Last time I went home at night, there was a drunk man following me, didn't he know to keep his distance?" There is so much malice towards women in this society! ”

Originally, it was only for some boys, but it gradually rose to all, and even Dong Qingfeng could no longer come forward to support it.

Cui Yu: "Are you sure he dares to have ill will towards you?" ”

Pang Jiao understood Cui Yu's meaning, and she said sarcastically: "Sisters, I don't understand where the male shining point is, why are the boys around me all a mess?" ”

Ma Shicheng: "I don't know where the boys' shining points are, but I found the women's shining points from you." ”

Wang Longlong: "Praise, repay grievances with virtue!" ”

Pang Jiao pounded the table angrily, the movement was very loud, and it made a noise to Pang Jiao's mother, who was cooking outside.

Pang Jiao's mother yelled: "Since the holiday, you have been eating, sleeping, sleeping and eating all day long, didn't you say losing weight?" Why don't you go! ”

"You have the strength to smash the table, why don't you get up and help me cook, how old are you, you can't even cook, who can you marry?"

Pang Jiao roared back: "Do women have to cook when they get married?" Why, when women have children, why do they still cook? ”

"In this world, men are right to cook! I'm getting married in the future and definitely don't cook! ”

The more Pang Jiao spoke, the more energetic she became, frantically promoting her theory.

Pang Jiao's mother in the kitchen was moved, "Jiaojiao, you're right, why should I cook all these years?" From now on, I don't cook anymore. ”

Pang Jiao's face fell: "If you don't cook, what will I eat?" ”

……

In the afternoon, six o'clock.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

Zhang Ruyun, a college student next door, plays table tennis, and there is no table tennis table in the bungalow, so he can only play against the wall.

It seems lonely, but it is also enjoyable.

It's just that whenever Zhang Ruyun turns his head and sees Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong playing badminton nearby, he still shows a little yearning.

Jiang Ning didn't leave his hand, and beat Xue Yuantong to run around, sweating tiredly.

She gritted her teeth and insisted, never admitting defeat, until Jiang Ning had enough abuse, and then ended the battle.

Xue Yuantong collapsed on the small chair, and he didn't even have the strength to take a bath.

The badminton rackets were placed at random, and Jiang Ning also moved the small maza, sat at the door, and looked west.

Without the obstruction of high-rise buildings, the line of sight extends, above the vast land, the sun sets.

"Jiang Ning, won't we come home in the next month?" Xue Yuantong finally became worried.

The route she had planned was thousands of miles, and she had never traveled so far.

"Well, homesick?"

"I don't!"

"Call Aunt Gu when the time comes, don't cry." Jiang Ning said.

Xue Yuantong: "Cut." ”

The sun was about to set in the west, the sky was darkening, the sun was sinking little by little in front of my eyes, and the last golden afterglow covered the earth.

Xue Yuantong's sweaty little face was dyed with a layer of gold, and she seemed to glow.

Xue Yuantong in junior high school often sat at the door like this, waiting for his mother to get off work, day after day, year after year.

However, I always wait until sunset, but I still can't wait for my mother's figure.

At this moment, she looked at Jiang Ning's back, and his shadow was dragged by the sunset for a long, long time.

Xue Yuantong thought of playing badminton just now, and he didn't let himself at all, and he was very angry.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to pinch Jiang Ning's shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was swallowed by the earth, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and Jiang Ning's shadow disappeared.

Xue Yuantong pinched the air.

When she was melancholy, Jiang Ning reached out and turned on the light in front of the door, and his shadow reappeared.

Xue Yuantong laughed and easily touched his shadow.
