The straight-line distance from Humiao Town to Yuzhou City is less than 70 kilometers.
With the flying speed of the spirit boat, it only took a few minutes for the spirit boat to reach the sky above the dam.
Looking down at the familiar environment below, Jiang Ning's spiritual sense reached the bungalow.
It is two o'clock in the afternoon and Aunt Gu is still working in the company.
This provided Jiang Ning with considerable convenience. He drove the invisible spirit boat and landed directly in the courtyard.
Then he picked up Xue Yuantong, opened the bedroom door, and put her on the bed.
In order to prevent Xue Yuantong from waking up early and realizing that the time was wrong, Jiang Ning specially set up a calming formation to help her sleep more soundly.
Xue Yuantong slept close to the edge of the bed, taking up very little space. Jiang Ning sat cross-legged beside her, lit the 'Soul-Sinking Incense', and practiced quietly.
There was a faint smell of smoke in the room, which had a soothing effect on the mind and was harmless to Xue Yuantong.
Jiang Ning's spiritual realm has been stagnant for a long time, and the same is true for his Qi training, which is still at the eighth level.
In fact, his cultivation speed was not slow; however, because he was practicing in the secular world, time passed extremely slowly.
Unlike the world of immortal cultivators, where time is not a factor in cultivation, even the most ordinary cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage would go into seclusion for at least ten days and at most several months.
Jiang Ning is now spending every day seriously. He certainly cannot go into seclusion like he used to, otherwise people around him might think he is seriously ill and send him to the hospital.
The bedroom was quiet and Xue Yuantong was fast asleep.
At around four o'clock, Jiang Ning found an opportunity and went outside to unlock the door.
He remembered that his mountain bike was still parked in the city, but today was Saturday and he had no evening self-study, so there was no rush to get it.
Afterwards, Jiang Ning turned on the bedroom lamp and leaned back in his chair to read.
Soon, there was a noise outside and Aunt Gu came back from get off work.
Aunt Gu parked her electric bike and went to the next yard. When she came back just now, she saw that the next door gate was open.
"Jiang Ning, is Tongtong in your room?" Aunt Gu shouted from outside.
Jiang Ning: "I'm in bed."
"Oh, don't let her sleep too long, otherwise she won't be able to sleep at night." Aunt Gu reminded her. She didn't think much about it. Her daughter often went to Jiang Ning's room to play before, so it was normal for her to stay in his bed.
She saw that although Jiang Ning didn't talk much, he was definitely a man with his own ideas and knew what was important.
Jiang Ning said: "Yeah, she's been in the car all day, I'll call her later."
Half an hour later, Xue Yuantong woke up.
She opened her eyes slightly, a little dazed, and looked at Jiang Ning under the lamp. She asked:
"Jiang Ning, is the car here?"
"The car left." Jiang Ning said.
"Ah? Then what should we do? We can't go home?" Xue Yuantong clutched the quilt, worried.
If she can't go home, what will she and Jiang Ning do at night? Will they sleep on the streets
Or sleep in the park
Jiang Ning: "No, we are already home."
When Xue Yuantong heard this, she didn't believe it at first. She rubbed her eyes and became much more awake. Then she looked around and found that the furnishings in the room were very familiar.
Isn't this the room where she usually stays
"Jiang Ning, I slept all the way?" Xue Yuantong widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, I carried you back."
Xue Yuantong: “…”
It turns out she was such a good sleeper that she didn't wake up the whole way.
Xue Yuantong calmed down for half a minute, and her confused mind became completely clear. It had been a long time since she had felt so relaxed on the way home as she did today.
Just think about how hard it is to commute from town to the city.
Along the way, it was Jiang Ning who took care of her... Xue Yuantong's forehead was numb, and her heart was warm.
She said softly, "Jiang Ning, are you tired?"
"tired."
"Are you tired? Let me give you a massage."
Jiang Ning joked, "Of course, it was very difficult to hold you today."
Xue Yuantong was silent for a moment: "Well, I will eat less in the future."
She thought simply that as long as she ate less, Jiang Ning would feel much more relaxed.
…
Evening, 7 o'clock.
As the sky darkened, the large green wheat field in front of the bungalow turned dark green.
The lighting in the kitchen is soft and warm.
Aunt Gu was busy in the kitchen, while Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were sitting on small stools.
Today is Saturday, and the class group of Class 8 is unusually active.
The name of the class group was changed by Huang Zhongfei to 'Class 8 Family'.
Yu Wen: "Have you heard? Class 11 has signed up for a large-scale dance program, and all the girls in their class will participate!"
Cui Yu: "It's embarrassing!"
How did Dong Qingfeng see Cui Yu mocking the girl from another class? He jumped out and shouted:
"I'm not trying to embarrass myself!"
In the city center, Shen Qing'e had just finished her meal and was watching TV on the sofa, with her sister, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law's mother, who was Jiang Ning's aunt.
Shen Qing'e picked up her phone, looked at the message in the group, and typed:
"Class 11 is very good. Don't forget that during the military training at the beginning of the school year, Class 11 won a prize."
Yu Wen added: "At that time, only Class 1, Class 3, and Class 11 won awards."
Cui Yu fought against the crowd: "What's the point of boosting the morale of other classes? Are you from Class 8?"
Meng Gui cheered for his good brother: "In life, we are members of Class 8, and in death, we are the soul of Class 8."
Song Sheng: "Don't die in front of me, die far away."
Song Sheng is very arrogant and often looks down on others, and many of his classmates dislike him.
Zhang Chi taunted, “Brother Sheng is worthy of having studied in the hospital, and is used to seeing life and death, he is different, big shot!”
Zhang Chi is now the sports committee member. Without the constraints of poverty subsidies, he is not afraid of anyone in the class and no one cares about him.
"Zhang Chi, do you want to die?" Song Sheng.
"Whether you want to live or die is none of your business." Zhang Chi refused to give in.
He dared to hit Qi Tianheng, and even Yan Tianpeng, who was over 1.9 meters tall and as big as a bear, dared to make trouble. The so-called threat from Song Sheng was nothing in front of him.
Song Sheng: "You are awesome, wait."
Zhang Chi: "No, no, no, not as good as my brother Sheng."
The more Song Sheng listened, the angrier he became. His dignity had been gone since he broke his leg. Even Zhang Chi dared to jump out and mock him.
The two started arguing in the group, first arguing and then cursing each other. Other students did not interrupt and just watched them quarreling in the group.
Dong Qingfeng and Cui Yu added fuel to the fire.
After arguing for about ten minutes, Wang Longlong finally and leisurely @Huang Zhongfei.
As soon as Huang Zhongfei entered the group, he saw the message from 99+. His head was about to explode, and he quickly muted the two of them.
At this time, Cui Yu jumped out and sent an emoticon of a cat smoking.
Shan Kaiquan: “That’s awesome!”
At the beginning of the school year, Shan Kaiquan had a conflict with Song Sheng because of military training. Song Sheng knocked over several tables and rushed over to punch him. Shan Kaiquan felt how "powerful" Song Sheng was.
He used to be afraid of Song Sheng, but things are different now. Sports make people confident.
Shan Kaiquan likes Bai Yuxia. Whenever he feels troubled, he always goes to the playground to run, do push-ups and pull-ups to vent his feelings.
After he formed the habit, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't run a few laps every day. His physique became stronger day by day, and his muscles developed.
Recently he has been practicing the 100-meter sprint very hard. Yesterday he and Guo Kunnan went to the playground for a test. He ran the 100-meter sprint in just over 12 seconds, which is not much slower than that of a sports student.
Now Shan Kaiquan thinks that if he really fights with Song Sheng, it is not certain who will suffer!
Yu Wen continued the previous topic: "The dance of Class 11 will definitely stand out."
"Because the leader of their class is Xu Yan."
As soon as Xu Yan's name came out, a beautiful girl came to everyone's mind.
She is the monitor of Class 11. She is tall, has fair skin and speaks with a clear voice. It is said that during the military training at the beginning of the school year, she organized the training of her classmates, and finally made Class 11 stand out and win medals.
Xu Yan has very good grades. Although he is not in the experimental class, he still makes it into the top 20 in the school.
Xu Yan was very famous in her first year of high school, and many boys had a crush on her.
Dong Qingfeng said: "Xu Yan, then their class is safe."
Shan Kaiquan: "I don't think so. So what if Xu Yan? Don't forget Bai Yuxia from our class. Do you still remember Bai Yuxia's dance at the New Year's Eve party?"
"Let me put it bluntly, Xu Yan is far inferior to Bai Yuxia!"
Cui Yu used a popular quote: "I have little education, so don't lie to me!"
Bai Yuxia, who had been lurking, couldn't stand it anymore: "Dan Kaiquan, can you please stop making enemies for me?"
Cui Yu: "It doesn't matter, Pang Jiao from our class has signed up for dance!"
Cui Yu has been banned
Huang Zhongfei: "Let's change the subject."
When Meng Gui saw that Cui Yu was banned from speaking, he decided to replace Cui Yu and continue the journey that Cui Yu had not completed.
"Pang Jiao dancing? That scene is too beautiful. I dare not watch it."
Meng Gui has been banned
Chen Siyu: "Let me ask, how many classes will be split up in the second year of high school?"
Dong Qingfeng is well-informed. He said, "Over the years, there have been very few students majoring in liberal arts at No. 4 Middle School. Based on the ratio of liberal arts and science students in the past, three of the 12 classes in our class were disbanded and unified as liberal arts classes."
Chen Siyu: "It won't be our class (horrified)."
Some students expressed fear.
Dong Qingfeng: "Not really. After several comprehensive exams, the three classes with the lowest average scores were separated."
"Except for Class 11, our class has the highest average score among all the regular classes."
Huang Zhongfei: "Everyone must work hard in the final exams so that Class 8 will not be disbanded."
The class monitor came out to speak and a lot of students expressed their agreement.
Regardless of gender, we have been together for more than a year, but few students are willing to disband the class.
Once you go to another class, you will be lonely and helpless.
Dong Qingfeng explained the rules: "For the other nine classes, all students who choose liberal arts will be assigned to the three liberal arts classes."
"Also, there is a big movement in the experimental class. Some poor students will be kicked out, and the top students in the regular class will be transferred to the experimental class."
Chen Qian asked: "Would you like to volunteer to go to the experimental class?"
Dong Qingfeng explained: "I heard from senior students that when the second year of high school started, the names of students in each class were posted on the display board."
Chen Siyu: "Doesn't that mean that students with good grades must enter the experimental class?"
Chen Qian: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to join the experimental class? No way?"
Guo Kunnan was curious: "Will the top 150 students in the school be admitted to the experimental class?"
There are 3 experimental classes, with 50 students in each class.
Dong Qingfeng: "About the top 200 in the grade, because some of the top 150 students chose liberal arts."
Guo Kunnan: “I’ve learned a lesson.”
Hu Jun: "I want to ask, are the teachers in the liberal arts class the kind of people who are…"
Guo Kunnan: "Don't embarrass yourself."
The students started chatting about the class division. Perhaps because the topic was filled with sadness of separation, there was an unusual harmony in the following communication.
Squad leader Huang Zhongfei was very pleased:
"Everyone should cherish every moment of their journey."
Lu Qiqi posted a photo of a brand new laptop.
Yu Wen: "Yours?"
Lu Qiqi said: "My uncle brought it to me from Hangzhou."
Jiang Yanan: "I'm so jealous. My parents said they would buy me a laptop when I was in college."
There are not many high school students in small cities who have notebooks, so Lu Qiqi attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Qiqi: "Does anyone know computers? Can you teach me?"
Wang Longlong was holding the phone, and when he heard this, his heart moved.
When we were eating steamed dumplings yesterday, Lu Qiqi got a cap full of chili oil. Although he asked Shan Xiao to wash it off, he still felt sorry for Lu Qiqi.
He thought that if he helped Lu Qiqi today, he would feel better.
Wang Longlong volunteered: "I can play computer."
Wang Longlong understands common computer operations. If there is something he doesn't understand, he can ask Brother Ma for help in advance.
Lu Qiqi: "Thank you."
Wang Longlong greeted Brother Ma in advance.
Ma Shicheng was learning English in an Internet cafe, and his friend who was surfing the Internet next to him was almost stunned.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there were really people coming to the Internet cafe to study!
Ma Shicheng was wearing headphones, and a human voice was coming from the headphones. The screen was playing the English teaching video with the highest ratings on the entire Internet.
With full concentration, Ma Shicheng's English level improved rapidly.
The qq in the small right corner flashes.
Seeing Wang Longlong's message, Ma Shicheng replied: "It's okay, just ask me anything."
After Wang Longlong got Ma Shicheng's assurance, he privately chatted with Lu Qiqi: "It's okay, just ask me anything."
Lu Qiqi: "Do you know how to find the C drive?"
Wang Longlong thought she was studying something else, but this is it
He was so laughing that he couldn't stop. He didn't need Ma Ge to teach Lu Qiqi the basics in minutes.
Wang Longlong said calmly: "Open 'My Computer' and you can see the C drive."
Lu Qiqi's face was full of question marks: "Your computer is not with me, how can I open it?"
Wang Longlong thought that she probably misunderstood, so he continued typing:
"Turn on your computer."
Lu Qiqi: "I opened it. My computer is on."
Wang Longlong was speechless for more than ten seconds, then typed: "Open My Computer in your computer."
Lu Qiqi: "Do you play tongue twisters?"
Wang Longlong asked back: "What's on your computer desktop?"
Lu Qiqi: "A box of sliced watermelon, two chicken feet, and a bottle of yogurt."
Then, she typed again: "Hey, forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first."
Wang Longlong was holding the phone in a daze.
Half a minute later, Ma Shicheng received a message:
"Brother Ma, I have suffered an unprecedented blow."
…
River dam, kitchen.
The firewood in the stove has not yet burned out, and the food on the table is steaming.
"You must be tired today. Eat more." Aunt Gu said.
Xue Yuantong seemed like a different person. He drank the porridge in small sips and took a long time to take a bite of food.
All vegetables, not a single bite of meat.
Aunt Gu thought she added too much salt, but when she tasted it, she found there wasn't much.
She looked at Jiang Ning, and he was eating normally as usual.
'That's strange.'
Aunt Gu observed for a while and found that Tongtong still didn't want to eat meat, so she picked up a piece of meat for her.
Xue Yuantong took it back and said solemnly:
"Mom, I won't eat meat anymore. Jiang Ning said he can't hold me anymore."
Aunt Gu: “…”
