April 5th, Qingming Festival.
sunny.
Xue Yuantong, contrary to his usual practice, did not sleep in and got up early.
On the river dam, the grass and trees are shining in the early morning at sunrise.
Compared with the urban area, there is no dust raised by the roads and no exhaust gas emitted by cars around the bungalow, and the air is extremely fresh.
In the dark, unknown to Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning used various means to drive away the surrounding small illegal workshops and factories and protect the nearby natural environment.
Xue Yuantong opened the door, stepped on his slippers, stretched out his arms and stretched his body.
She went to the sink, took a glass of water, and brushed her teeth.
After brushing her teeth, she wiped her little face with warm water and then took out a green jade bottle.
This is the bottle Jiang Ning gave her, saying it contains skin care products.
Xue Yuantong didn't know that this was the "Unstained Frost" that Jiang Ning had refined using lotus seeds from Linghe and more than ten other spiritual objects.
If ordinary people apply it consistently, they can maintain their youthful complexion, which is similar to the effect of "anti-aging pills".
She opened the lid and poured out some milky white viscous liquid similar to milk.
Xue Yuantong had never seen such a thing before. She heard from Jiang Ning that applying a little on the face after washing it every day can nourish the skin and make the face whiter and tenderer.
Although Xue Yuantong's face was very fair and white, she still listened to Jiang Ning obediently. She didn't care about the beauty effect, but just felt that her face was very comfortable after applying the lotion.
Moreover, as long as Jiang Ning said it, she would bravely try it.
Not to mention applying the liquid in the bottle, she would even be willing to try swallowing it.
Anyway, most of the time, Jiang Ning would not lie to her.
And with her intelligence, Jiang Ning's plan would never be hidden from her.
After washing his face, Xue Yuantong first put the towel on the clothes hanger and then hung it on the clothesline.
Then, she ran into the bedroom, and soon, a ball of soft quilt came out from the door.
She specifically asked Jiang Ning last night that today was a sunny day, perfect for drying the quilts.
The most comfortable thing is to dry the quilt in the sun until noon, put it back on the bed, lie down and feel the warmth.
After doing all this, Xue Yuantong finally walked out the door.
She didn't plan to eat breakfast in the morning because Jiang Ning said last night that he would make her something delicious at noon, something more delicious than lamb. Xue Yuantong was very much looking forward to it and emptied her stomach in preparation for the big battle at noon.
Xue Yuantong was facing the fields, with a broad view and the weather was really good.
It's already spring and summer is almost here. It's a wonderful thought to be able to eat a big watermelon right at the doorstep.
Xue Yuantong came next door and knocked on Jiang Ning's door.
No one responded.
So she pushed forward and the door opened.
She rushed all the way to Jiang Ning's bedroom and looked down at Jiang Ning who was sleeping on the bed.
'He is still sleeping. Doesn't he know how important today is?'
She and Jiang Ning made an appointment to have a picnic at the river dam in the morning, and to bring Chuchu along.
As a result, it was already half past seven and Jiang Ning had not yet gotten up.
"Jiang Ning, you disappoint me so much." Xue Yuantong hated him for not fighting back.
Jiang Ning lay on the bed with his eyes closed, ignoring her.
He went to Huqi Mountain late last night to refine a batch of cultivation pills, and also discussed the future development plan of the Changqingye Company with Shao Shuangshuang.
After coming back, he tempered his spiritual awareness. At three o'clock in the morning, his chemistry teacher sent him a WeChat message, complaining about the trivial matters between colleagues at school, as well as his views on marriage and life in the future.
Teacher Guo Ran had taken good care of him in the past, and helping him solve his problems was what a student should do, not to mention just listening.
They chatted until 5:30 in the morning, and then Geng Lu came to him and said that she had prepared a surprise for him this morning.
Geng Lu took a full-body photo and sent it to him. It was cooler than what she wore at school and it fully highlighted her figure. She asked him if it looked good.
Jiang Ning was not the kind of person who liked to procrastinate on replying to messages, so he chatted with Geng Lu for a while. Unexpectedly, Geng Lu called him and talked for an hour, and now she hung up the phone not long ago.
Jiang Ning was not tired. With his physical and mental strength, he would not be tired even if the workload increased several times. He just preferred quietness to noise.
"Jiang Ning, are you still going on the picnic?" Xue Yuantong asked him.
Jiang Ning said a few perfunctory words to her.
Xue Yuantong was not stupid, she could see through Jiang Ning's carelessness.
She was extremely heartbroken. Last night, he said he wanted to go to the market with her to buy vegetables, but he changed his attitude this morning.
Could it be that Jiang Ning’s promise to her would not last more than one night
So sad.
She goes grocery shopping by herself!
However, Xue Yuantong was not an impatient person. She grabbed a blanket from Jiang Ning's bed and then jumped onto the sofa.
The warm sunshine shines into the house, making the room warm and bright.
Xue Yuantong huddled into the sofa, his little face facing the bed, glaring at Jiang Ning fiercely.
She wanted to let Jiang Ning see how fierce her eyes were!
This look is enough to scare children into silence!
She could still recall that when she was six years old, there was a wild cat in the village that scratched whoever it saw. That day, Xue Yuantong was provoked by the cat, and she used her current ferocious look to stare at the wild cat, forcing it to flee in embarrassment.
This is the deterrent power of Xue Yuantong.
However, her face was almost frozen from staring, and Jiang Ning was still sleeping with his eyes closed.
hateful!
Xue Yuantong picked up the phone angrily. Jiang Ning did not keep his promise and kept giving her perfunctory answers.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a picnic!
She secretly sent a message to Chuchu without telling Jiang Ning:
"Chu Chu, Jiang Ning is still sleeping in. He clearly promised yesterday to accompany me to the market to buy vegetables."
"He lied to me, I'm so sad, what should I do?"
“It’s so uncomfortable.”
The other side of the city.
Xue Chuchu stood next to the washing machine, her pale face carrying a cool temperament. She was wearing a white jacket and light blue jeans. The pants were slim and tight, showing off the curves of her slender and attractive calves.
When Xue Chuchu heard her cell phone ringing, she put down what she was doing and took out her cell phone from her pocket.
In order to save data traffic, she usually does not turn on the network switch to prevent rogue applications from stealing her data traffic.
One time, she neglected to turn off the Internet, and a lot of data in her package was used up in one night. Xue Chuchu was heartbroken.
She also contacted Xue Yuantong specifically to learn how to prevent others from stealing her traffic.
Even though she had learned that trick, Xue Chuchu still turned off the internet out of habit. Today, she had kept the data on because she had made an appointment with Xue Yuantong for a picnic in advance.
Seeing Tongtong's message, Xue Chuchu replied to her:
"It's okay, I'll go shopping with you."
Xue Yuantong over there immediately said:
"You don't have to come. I want him, woooooo!"
Xue Chuchu was knowledgeable and sensible. She comforted Jiang Ning:
"He must have been tired last night. Didn't you say he was usually very busy? It's very likely that he was busy yesterday in preparation for today's picnic."
Xue Yuantong: "Don't speak for him, it's useless, I hate him."
Xue Chuchu didn't want to reply anymore, she was tired.
She looked at the large bottle of Coke on the dining table. It was the drink she had bought in advance when she learned about the picnic. It cost her ten dollars.
Xue Chuchu had never been on a picnic before and didn't know what to prepare. She searched online a few days ago and found that she needed to prepare sushi rice balls. She wanted to learn how to make them, but was worried that Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning would not like them.
At first she planned to buy some fruits, but Xue Yuantong posted photos of the fruits she had eaten that day, so Xue Chuchu gave up.
So, she only had a bottle of Coke, and Xue Chuchu secretly decided that if she needed to work during the picnic, she would do more work and would never take advantage of Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning.
Seeing that Tongtong didn't look for her, Xue Chuchu thought that what happened just now shouldn't be a big deal, and Tongtong must just be throwing a tantrum.
She continued to check the washing machine for malfunctions.
She and her mother rented a house. The washing machine was not a fully automatic one, but an old-fashioned one with two buckets, one big and one small. The big bucket was used to wash clothes, and the small bucket was used for dehydration.
Xue Chuchu seldom uses a washing machine. She usually washes her clothes by hand. She only uses a washing machine for large pieces of clothing.
Last time, my mother found that there was a problem with the small drum of the washing machine's dehydration function. There was a strange noise when it turned, but she couldn't find out what the problem was.
Her family is used to being frugal, so naturally they wouldn't ask anyone to come to their house to repair it.
Although her mother has a good salary at work now, she still maintains a frugal lifestyle. Today is Qingming Festival, and in order to get triple salary, her mother did not rest but went to the company to help.
Xue Chuchu took a flashlight and shone it into the washing machine, and found that there seemed to be something blocking it.
Just as she was about to look for something, there was a loud commotion outside the house.
Listening carefully, it seemed like two men were arguing.
Xue Chuchu looked helpless. In the apartment building next to her, a young man and an old man had a conflict over a pet dog. They had been arguing for several days and it was said that they almost came to a fight.
Sometimes they would curse at each other through the window late at night. Xue Chuchu had never seen such people before.
The only thing she knew was that those two people were not good people.
Someone nearby had said before that there were two female students renting a house in that building. The young man knocked on their door in the middle of the night, and the two female students were so scared that they moved out within a few days.
And that old man was even more weird. Xue Chuchu met him several times. The old man was always walking around with a billiard cue in his hand. For some reason, Xue Chuchu felt a creepy fear when facing him.
Every time we met, she walked very fast, as if she was running away.
Xue Chuchu sometimes feels incredible about the people she meets. The people she met before were obviously very kind, but since she entered high school and came to Yuzhou City to study, her situation has changed.
First, she encountered a netizen who stole her QQ account and threatened her.
Next came two people from this neighborhood, each more terrifying than the other.
She thought to herself: "The city is so dangerous. I really want to go back to the countryside."
…
"Tell the truth, what did you do behind my back last night!"
Xue Yuantong slapped the armrest of the sofa, as if he was interrogating Jiang Ning in court, full of pride.
Jiang Ning lazily got up from the bed and directly lifted the quilt. Xue Yuantong didn't have time to scream and quickly covered his eyes.
Two seconds later, she said, "What? Turns out she's wearing clothes."
Jiang Ning: "Why did you find out so quickly?"
"Of course it's because I secretly...secretly guessed it in my heart." Xue Yuantong argued.
Jiang Ning sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the sofa.
Xue Yuantong regained his dignity, slapped the sofa again, and shouted:
"Jiang Ning, from now on, you have no right to remain silent. Everything you say may become evidence in court."
She is no longer the freshman Xue Yuantong, she is the super top invincible chief justice, and Jiang Ning is the big criminal under her.
Jiang Ning asked: "What crime did I commit?"
"I'm here to tell you that you've committed the crime of staying in bed." Xue Yuantong made up a charge and accused him.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but grin, he said nonchalantly:
"I am not guilty."
"No, if I say you are guilty, you are guilty!" Xue Yuantong is the rule maker.
"Oh?" Jiang Ning looked at her serious expression with a smile. Then, Jiang Ning put his hand on the sofa, which happened to cover Xue Yuantong's little hand.
Xue Yuantong instantly felt a warm sensation. Jiang Ning was pinching her hand. It was not only hot but also a little itchy.
Xue Yuantong's face was stunned. She pretended to pull her hand out, but she couldn't.
The room was very quiet. She looked into Jiang Ning's eyes and stared at him for a few seconds. Somehow, she suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him again.
She hung her head, feeling completely exhausted.
After a while, a voice so weak that it was barely audible came out:
"Let go, bad guy."
"Hahaha." Jiang Ning laughed. She was indeed a coward again.
Only then did he move his hand away.
When Xue Yuantong heard the laughter, he immediately raised his head and became angry:
"Jiang Ning!"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Where did you go last night?" she asked bravely, putting her hands in her pockets.
Jiang Ning said seriously: "I'm going to clear out the aliens that have invaded our territory."
"You are lying. There are no aliens in the world." Xue Yuantong is not a child. She will never be fooled by Jiang Ning again.
Jiang Ning asked her: "Have you ever seen aliens?"
"No."
Jiang Ning said: "So, don't thank me."
…
Jiang Ning did not plead guilty in the end, and Xue Yuantong was furious. However, it would never be too late for her to take revenge.
Let’s start by not accompanying Jiang Ning to watch the stars tonight.
Of course, we still have to go for the picnic in the morning.
She rode Jiang Ning's mountain bike and drove to the vegetable market together.
They were going to a big market to buy food for the morning picnic, and then go to the small plain on the river dam side for a picnic with Xue Chuchu.
On the smooth road of the river dam, cars, sedans, SUVs and station wagons pass by from time to time.
Xue Yuantong whispered in the back seat:
"They are all people who come to Little Plains to camp."
Jiang Ning has been to the small plain below the river dam. It is called a small plain, but in fact it is just a flat ground with a lot of green grass below the river dam.
The ground is rectangular, about the size of two and a half football fields.
The riverside environment is better than that of the city parks. Today is Qingming Festival, so it is naturally easy to attract people to come and play.
"Let's buy quickly so that we can get a good spot later." Xue Yuantong said. It was not yet eight o'clock, so they just had to arrive before half past nine.
While riding his bike, Jiang Ning made a plan for today's itinerary. After buying vegetables, he would fly to Huqi Mountain to catch the rabbit, and then bring some fruits back to the villa.
Tonight we will fly to Ancheng to teach the Lin Zhongsheng Group a lesson. After so long, the other party is still unwilling to let go of the Changqing Liquid Company and is still making small moves behind the scenes to intercept the materials collected by Shao Shuangshuang.
However, as the team formed by Shao Shuangshuang became more and more perfect, the materials that Lin Zhongsheng Group could collect became less and less, and they are now unable to cope with the cash flow.
After dealing with Lin Zhongsheng, we have to find time in the evening to deal with the old man who tricked the little boy into his house last night. It would be best to beat him up so that he can never hurt anyone again.
Jiang Ning sensed the spiritual mark slightly and found that the target was still wandering in the city center.
Not bad, Jiang Ning was very satisfied.
He locked his mountain bike outside the market and walked into the market with Xue Yuantong. Jiang Ning spoke very little, and Xue Yuantong was the only one who picked the vegetables.
He occasionally expressed which vegetables to buy.
Xue Yuantong bargained with the ladies at the vegetable market. Some stall owners, seeing that the two were young, often quoted a slightly higher price.
Xue Yuantong was unhappy. She was quite familiar with the prices of various vegetables, and with Jiang Ning by her side, she was very confident in bargaining.
For example, some stall owners often quote a price that is half higher and weigh less when facing younger customers.
Many young people are busy all day and only cook occasionally, so it is difficult for them to understand the current vegetable prices. If they go to some vegetable markets where the customs are not simple, they will inevitably be ripped off.
As a result, many people who have been cheated when buying vegetables no longer go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, but go directly to the supermarket where the prices are clearly marked.
Xue Yuantong bought groceries very quickly, and Jiang Ning carried part of them for her.
After leaving the market, Xue Yuantong sent a message to Xue Chuchu, asking her what time she would come to meet.
At this moment, at Xue Chuchu's house, the washing machine was running, washing the sheets and quilt covers, making a noticeable buzzing sound.
Xue Chuchu was sitting in the bedroom, with the Chinese textbook flat on her legs. She was holding her cell phone, a little hesitant, wondering whether to let Xue Yuantong come over.
Although the house she rented was clean, it was very shabby. The white paint on the ceiling was cracked. Because it was on the top floor, the cracked paint would fall off if it rained heavily.
In windy weather, the windows always make a "bang-bang-dang-dang" noise.
Her mother contacted the landlord several times, but the landlord always said he was busy.
The only thing that made Xue Chuchu feel a little warm was that on the wall opposite the bed, there were two large maps, one was a world map and the other was a map of the motherland.
When she was tired of studying, she often looked up at the two maps.
The city of Yuzhou where she is located is just a tiny dot on the entire map.
Xue Chuchu sometimes wonders: "Is the world really that big?"
