After Tao Qingyuan left beside Xu Ning, people kept coming over to greet Xu Ning alone for the new year.
When Xu Ning stopped Tao Qingyuan and Tan Fengying outside the restaurant just now, everyone also saw Xu Ning's strength in their eyes.
A person who can make Tao Qingyuan and Tan Fengying compromise with his own strength must be extremely strong.
At this moment, some people have already started to think whether Xu Ning will be the third yellow card rookie in Taojiazhuang in the assessment and evaluation two months later.
Unknowingly, Xu Ning has slowly replaced Tao Jin, becoming the number two person in the Taojiazhuang circle.
If Xu Ning's surname was Tao, he might have made Tao Qingyuan abdicate.
In the lively atmosphere, everyone had lunch together.
Although Kangyun County is not far from Taojiazhuang, but they haven't been home for a long time, and it's a festive season, so everyone feels homesick.
Fortunately, the people of Tongzhuang are all around, and the meal is full of enthusiasm.
Xu Ning also threw himself into the warm atmosphere, and relaxed his mind rarely.
Everyone was very happy, but Xu Ning also noticed that Tao Jin was eating absent-mindedly.
But the two were not familiar with each other, and Xu Ning didn't express any concern.
In fact, apart from Tao Jin's complicated thoughts, Tan Fengying in the other private room was also relaxed on the surface but worried in his heart.
Xu Ning's sudden progress made Tan Fengying feel threatened.
During the two-month assessment and evaluation, if Xu Ning chooses the yellow card holder to challenge, he must be the first to bear the brunt.
Taojiazhuang will definitely not give up any opportunity to improve himself and beat others.
"When the wine game is over, I will go back to practice!"
While eating, Tan Fengying had already started to prepare for Shen Xin's martial arts training.
…
After the first lunch of the new year, everyone in Taojiazhuang did not return to the camp together.
Everyone separated in twos and threes, taking advantage of the holidays, preparing to wander around the county.
Today is the first day of the new year, and there are many activities such as temple fairs.
Tao Qing originally wanted to ask Xu Ning to go shopping together, but Xu Ning declined.
He bought some pastries, candies and other gifts on the street, and went to the private housing area in Dongcheng.
Xu Ning is going to visit some Feng Sigua.
Yunshi Lane is not far from the private housing area in Dongcheng, and within a quarter of an hour, Xu Ning arrived at his destination.
"Little brother, do you know where Feng Sigua lives?"
When you arrive at the private housing area, you will see closely connected houses and yards in front of you, with only one wall separating each house.
Xu Ning only knew that Feng Sigua lived in this area, but he didn't know where he lived, so he met some children on the way and asked for directions.
"You mean Uncle Sigua of the City Guard?"
The child looked to be only seven or eight years old, and behind him were a few children with runny noses and wrapped in thick padded jackets. He could tell at a glance that he was the king of children.
"it's him."
Xu Ning confirmed his identity as soon as he heard it.
"What are you looking for with him?"
The child tilted his head, and instead of answering Xu Ning's words, he asked Xu Ning back.
Xu Ning smiled: "I heard he was injured, let's come and see him."
"Oh… "
The child listened and nodded: "Go, follow me, and I will take you there."
"Then there will be little brother Lao."
Xu Ning was also polite.
The child ran and jumped, and the slugs behind him also followed in small steps.
Xu Ning followed behind them, turned around in the alley a few times, and then came to a private house.
"right here."
The child pointed.
Xu Ning looked over.
I saw that the door of this folk house was half closed, with Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door, and lanterns hung up, looking beaming.
After all, Feng Sigua was a member of the city guard. Although his income was not as high as that of black armored guards like Xu Ning, he was not bad in an ordinary family in Kangyun County.
"Thank you little brother."
Xu Ning took out two pieces of silver from his waist: "Take it to buy firecrackers."
The child looked at it, and directly declined: "My mother said, you can't just take other people's money."
Xu Ning was amused by the kid, he took out a bag of candy he bought just now, and handed it over: "Then I'll treat you to some candy."
The child hesitated for a moment, looked at the little follower behind him who had started to cry, and finally caught the bag of sugar: "Thank you very much."
As he said that, the boy bowed to Xu Ning squarely.
Seeing the boss like this, the little followers also pouted their buttocks and bowed to Xu Ning in a dignified manner.
"you are welcome."
Xu Ning waved his hand.
The few children didn't stay, and under the leadership of the kid king, they went to find a place to share the candy.
Xu Ning looked at these children and thought of Tao Tao.
I don't know if Tao Tao misses herself after being away from her for more than a month.
Boom boom boom.
Xu Ning stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
"The door is not closed, just come in."
Xu Ning first heard footsteps approaching, and then heard a female voice.
Xu Ning pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw a woman in her thirties holding a handful of pumpkin seeds in the small yard.
The woman has a big skeleton and looks very strong. There is a fierceness between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is not a simple character at first glance.
Xu Ning instantly identified the woman as Feng Sigua's wife.
Feng Sigua complained to himself more than once about his tough wife.
"You are… "
Sigua's wife saw Xu Ning with doubts in her eyes.
At first when someone knocked on the door, she thought it was someone who was coming to pay New Year's greetings, but when she went to the yard, she saw a tall and thin young man with sharp features and angular features, she didn't know him.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Xu Ning, Lao Feng's colleague."
Xu Ning didn't make a fuss about his status as a superior, and introduced himself.
"Xu Ning..."
Sigua's wife pondered for a moment, then her eyes widened suddenly: "Master Xu?"
As she spoke, she quickly spit out the pumpkin seed skin in her mouth, turned her head and shouted loudly: "Sigua, Mr. Xu is here!"
Immediately, Xu Ning heard clanging and colliding sounds.
Feng Sigua came out of the room and looked at Xu Ning with an unexpected expression: "My lord, why are you here?"
Xu Ning observed Feng Sigua up and down, and found that his lips were still a little pale, and he looked a little weak, but judging from his actions, there was no serious problem.
"Before you were injured, I didn't come to see you."
Xu Ning handed the things to Sigua's wife.
"My lord, come in quickly."
Feng Sigua hurriedly greeted him.
He really didn't expect Xu Ning to come.
Xu Ning had already granted him a vacation for a long time before, and let the hospital use the best medicine for his recuperation, and sent someone to visit him a few times during the period.
With regard to these concerns, Feng Sigua was satisfied.
Although his wife still complained that she didn't get any benefits from Xu Ning and was beaten up instead, Feng Sigua knew very well that there are very few people in the Black Armor Guard who can be as sympathetic to their subordinates as Xu Ning Not much.
Feng Sigua originally planned to return to Weiyi after a few days of rest after the new year. He was also afraid that Xu Ning would not see him for a long time, so he would find someone else to be his assistant.
But I didn't expect that before I went back, Xu Ning came to visit me first.
"Just the two of you at home?"
Xu Ning entered the house, but found no one else.
"My parents are at my elder brother's house. Let's wait until evening to eat." Feng Sigua said, "The two children went out to play. After all, it's Chinese New Year, let them go crazy."
The room is not big, so Xu Ning sat casually on a small stool, leaning against the stove.
In the stove, firewood and coal were mixed together, and the fire was very strong.
The smoke from the stove went outside the house along a chimney.
"Master Xu, drink water."
Sigua's wife poured water into a clean tea bowl and brought it up.
Although she also said that she was dissatisfied with Xu Ning before, but in front of her face, she really didn't dare to show any emotion.
After all, Mr. Xu is a member of the Black Armored Guards, and in the eyes of these people, he is a superior existence.
