Jiang Ning rode to the bungalow and found a black electric bike parked in front of Xue Yuantong's house.
He was a little surprised, because Xue Yuantong's electric bike was not this color.
Did Aunt Gu change to an electric bike
But this electric car is a bit old, probably three or five years old, and it doesn’t look good.
He swept his spiritual sense into the room and discovered something different: there were two guests at Xue Yuantong's house.
This surprised Jiang Ning. After living in Xue Yuantong's house for several months, he had never seen any guests come to her house.
Jiang Ning walked into the yard and saw Xue Yuantong standing by the sink brushing his teeth.
"Jiang Ning, you're back!"
"You came back at the perfect time. What a coincidence! I just got up." Xue Yuantong muttered.
"Brush your teeth well, the foam is coming out." Jiang Ning reminded.
Then he looked at a girl at the kitchen door.
The girl was about fifteen years old, about 1.65 meters tall, very thin, pretty, with a stubborn look between her brows, giving people a very special feeling.
Jiang Ning glanced at her clothes. It was an ordinary cotton-padded jacket of a very common style. There was no trace of makeup on her face.
She was holding a small English vocabulary book, and it was obvious that she was a very hardworking girl.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, this is Xue Chuchu, from our village." Xue Yuantong spat out a mouthful of water and introduced him.
"Chu Chu, this is the Jiang Ning I told you about. He's a very nice person." Xue Yuantong smiled like a fool, "He's my little brother. He does whatever I tell him to do!"
Jiang Ning first looked down at Xue Yuantong, then smiled at Xue Chuchu.
Xue Chuchu nodded in response. Her face looked a little cold. She wanted to smile, but it looked very stiff, as if she rarely smiled.
Jiang Ning ignored her and looked at Xue Yuantong, thinking that she was a little bit over the moon:
"What did you call me just now?"
"I forgot to tell you that I brought strawberries, pineapples, oranges and candied haws."
Like a magician, he took out three strings of candied haws. The reason for three strings was that Xue Yuantong would eat two strings each time, and Jiang Ning was almost used to buying three strings of this kind of snack.
When Xue Yuantong saw the candied haws, her eyes flickered, and then she tilted her head proudly:
"Just bring the candied haws. Do you think I want to eat them?"
"You underestimate your sister Xue Yuantong!"
Xue Chuchu, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene and thought Xue Yuantong was really pleasing...
Jiang Ning said: "Come, Sister Xue Yuantong, I'll give you a string."
"Okay, just try to eat it." She said this while her hands grabbed the candied haws with alarming speed, as if she was afraid that Jiang Ning would change his mind.
Jiang Ning gave one string to Xue Chuchu, and then gave the remaining string to Xue Yuantong.
It doesn't matter whether he eats it or not.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had no more, Xue Yuantong reluctantly gave the extra string to Jiang Ning.
As a result, after she finished her own candied haws, she stared at the candied haws that Jiang Ning had taken a bite of. Jiang Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so he gave her the other one.
Jiang Ning entered the kitchen only after finishing eating the candied haws.
Aunt Gu smiled kindly when she saw Jiang Ning: "I heard your noise just now. The meal will be ready in a while. You and Tongtong Chuchu can go to the main room to play. It's choking here."
"Don't you want my help?"
He looked at the stove under the stove and saw a woman in her thirties or forties sitting in front of a pile of firewood.
Normally, Xue Yuantong's family cooks on a gas stove. Only when they are making some hard dishes, such as clay pot chicken, stewed beef, and roasted fish, will they use an earthen pot to ensure the most authentic taste.
In this case, one person is needed to add firewood to the stove and make a fire. In winter, the front of the stove will be very warm.
Every time Jiang Ning lit a fire, Xue Yuantong would squeeze over, warm himself by the fire with him, and throw a sweet potato in.
Thanks to Jiang Ning's excellent ability to control fire, the sweet potatoes not only do not burn, but are particularly fragrant. Xue Yuantong is extremely happy every time.
"No need, just go and have fun." Aunt Gu said.
After Jiang Ning left, the woman sitting in front of the stove said:
"Sister Gu, this is the student who rented your house. He doesn't look very old."
"Yes, Jiang Ning is a very good kid. When I was in the hospital before, he ran around and helped me a lot." Aunt Gu mentioned Jiang Ning with a kind and satisfied expression.
Some time ago, she suffered a sudden misfortune and almost thought that her family was over. She was hospitalized with a broken bone and did not even dare to tell Xue Yuantong's grandparents.
Aunt Gu still remembers the help Jiang Ning provided during the hospitalization. From that hospitalization, she could see that Jiang Ning was very mature in his behavior. For example, when buying a fracture stent, he performed better than the average adult.
She was so satisfied.
To talk about something further, Aunt Gu even raised Jiang Ning as her son-in-law. Her daughter was with Jiang Ning and she had a smile on her face every day. That was her daughter, and she knew better than anyone what kind of child Tongtong was and what she liked.
But the two children are still young now, so Aunt Gu shouldn’t tell you about this too early.
It would be best to wait until the two children graduate from high school, meet Jiang Ning's parents, and settle this matter in advance.
As for whether Xue Yuantong is worthy of Jiang Ning, Aunt Gu has thought about it, but her daughter is very smart, has good grades, is proficient in everything, and has good cooking skills, but she is a little greedy.
Aunt Gu is not ambitious and has never thought of letting Tongtong marry into a wealthy family. She has watched TV dramas and learned that such large families bring too many troubles.
She just wants Tongtong to find a healthy man who can make her happy, and Aunt Gu will be satisfied.
"This child is good, tall and thin." Hua Fengmei said, "How are his grades?"
"Ranked fourth in the grade of No. 4 Middle School, not bad." Aunt Gu mentioned this but didn't think much of it.
Except for the high school entrance examination, her daughter has always been the first, so she doesn't care much about other children's grades. When it comes to grades, her daughter Tongtong has never lost.
It doesn’t matter if Jiang Ning’s grades are not good. With Jiang Ning’s personality, he will do well in anything he does in the future.
Hua Fengmei listened and said: "That's good."
When she saw the expression on Sister Gu's face, she actually felt a little regretful that she had not rented Sister Gu's house earlier.
The two of them got married to Xue Village at about the same time. As their families lived not far from each other, they often visited each other and their relationship improved.
It’s just that the fate of the two families was a bit bad. Sister Gu’s husband died of illness a few years ago. Fortunately, the man had some ability and bought two small bungalows near Yuzhou.
Hua Fengmei's family was more miserable. Her husband drove a tractor to the street to drink, got drunk, and when he came back driving the tractor, he crashed into a ditch and died, leaving behind a penniless family.
After the high school entrance examination, Xue Chuchu was admitted to Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School. She was worried about her daughter going to school alone. As she was the only child in her family, her daughter was her hope for survival.
She rented out a few acres of land at home and decided to rent a house and find a job in Yuzhou City to accompany Chuchu through her three years of high school.
At the beginning, Sister Gu asked her to rent the small bungalow next door, but Hua Fengmei was too embarrassed to do so.
She rented a house in an old neighborhood in the city. Although it was a little closer, it was far inferior to Sister Gu's small bungalow in every aspect. She used to live in the countryside and really couldn't get used to living in a house in the city.
The reason she came this time was, firstly, to get together with Sister Gu, and secondly, to see if the house next to Sister Gu's was rented out. If not, she would rent it.
Now seeing Sister Gu's expression, she knew clearly in her heart that there was no hope at all.
…
The sun is shining brightly outside the bungalow door.
Xue Yuantong sat on a small stool, holding his phone sideways to play games.
"Protect the Carrot 2?" Jiang Ning looked at the game screen.
"Yes." Xue Yuantong tapped the screen with his fingers without even raising his head.
After a while, she passed this level and first looked at Jiang Ning, who was playing with his mobile phone.
She looked at Xue Chuchu who was silently memorizing words beside her.
Xue Yuantong felt that Chuchu was a little out of place. How could she study in such good weather
"Chu Chu, do you usually play games?"
Xue Chuchu shook her head: "I don't play games." She doesn't even have a cell phone.
Her mother works very hard to earn money. A mobile phone costs a lot of money, and there are bills to pay every month.
Xue Yuantong heard this and moved the stool next to her:
"Chu Chu, let me tell you, this game is really fun!"
She demonstrated the game on her phone, turning herself into a recommendation guru.
Unfortunately, Xue Chuchu was not interested at all.
Xue Yuantong was a little depressed. Chuchu was from the same village as her and they could play together when they were young. But unfortunately Chuchu changed later and became obsessed with studying. They rarely played together anymore.
Xue Yuantong is drifting away from her former good friend. She finds it hard to understand why Xue Chuchu can keep learning. Can't she learn all that knowledge just by looking at it
"Jiang Ning, shall we play chess?" Xue Yuantong moved over here.
Jiang Ning thought for a few seconds and felt that Xue Yuantong would not be able to defeat him, so he said:
"Okay, let's play two games."
Xue Yuantong ran to Jiang Ning's room to get the chessboard. She brought the chessboard over and placed it on the table, and the two played chess under the sun.
Xue Chuchu looked at the two of them and she wanted to join in.
She can play chess and her skills are not bad, but she must study. Only by studying hard can she get into a good university, find a good job, and let her mother enjoy a good life without having to work as a waitress in a restaurant.
"General! Hahaha!" Xue Yuantong laughed wildly.
"Can this affect me?" Jiang Ning asked her back.
"Why not?" Xue Yuantong expressed her incomprehension. She was obviously about to win, so Jiang Ning must be trying to cheat.
Jiang Ning rubbed his eyes and said, "There's sand in my eyes. Blow it out for me."
Xue Yuantong stared into Jiang Ning's eyes.
There's no wind? Where does the sand come from
She was wondering, Jiang Ning said: "No need, maybe the sand came out."
"Then let's continue playing chess." Xue Yuantong looked down at the chessboard, and found something wrong.
She said to herself, "It seems I really can't win."
Jiang Ning said calmly, "Yes, you saw it wrongly just now. You must have been playing with your phone under the sun and your eyes must have been dazzled."
"Oh, we lost this round again." Xue Yuantong sighed.
I originally thought I could beat Jiang Ning in a game, but now there is no hope.
Xue Chuchu next to him looked at Jiang Ning deeply. This boy was too despicable.
Just now, he took advantage of Xue Yuantong's inattention, quickly switched the chess pieces, and then fooled Xue Yuantong, thus winning the game.
This is too ungentlemanly!
