Monday, April 28th.
In the morning, the temperature is suitable.
The dazzling sunlight shines in from the window, and in the channel of light, endless particles float in the air.
Jiang Ning tied the laces of his white shoes, stood up, and wore a white Tai Chi suit.
The loose Tai Chi suit looks indescribably elegant and free on Jiang Ning, as if it was born with him.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the mirror, looking at the person in the mirror with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He had been wearing modern clothes during the period after his return. Now, at first glance, it was as if he was dreaming back to the past.
Immediately, the fresh smell of laundry detergent emitted by the Tai Chi suit brought light back into his eyes.
The day before yesterday, Xue Yuantong said that the clothes just distributed by the school were a little dirty and smelled bad, so she took them back, washed the two sets of clothes carefully, and hung them out to dry before returning them to him.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door, and large amounts of light rushed into the room, staining the surface of his Tai Chi uniform.
He walked all the way to the gate and looked up. The weather was clear, with white clouds and a few birds circling in the sky.
Xue Yuantong next door pushed open the door and said, "The weather is really nice today, it's a good time to sleep at home."
She looked at Jiang Ning again and saw that he was wearing a Tai Chi suit and had an elegant and free-spirited temperament, as if he was a real ancient man.
Xue Yuantong was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Jiang Ning, the clothes are very nice!"
"Oh." It's rare to see her praising someone.
"You can wear it too." Jiang Ning said.
"I can't do it. I don't need to practice Tai Chi." Xue Yuantong spread out his hands, looking helpless.
Speaking as a representative of the first-year high school students, she had the power not to practice Tai Chi, and she didn't even practice it.
Jiang Ning asked: "Have you prepared your meal?"
Today's morning self-study is cancelled, so they can go a little later. Instead, they need to practice Tai Chi in the school.
Xue Yuantong: "Just finished, waiting for you to eat."
It was only around 7 o'clock, the temperature had not risen yet, and it was still quite refreshing in the morning.
A simple breakfast was set on the dining table in the kitchen.
Rice soup, shredded potatoes with green peppers, pancakes fried in an electric griddle, and a bottle of beef sauce. This bottle of beef sauce was made by Aunt Gu at the company and contains plenty of beef.
Aunt Gu made some extra, packed a few bottles and took them home, leaving them for her daughter and Jiang Ning as breakfast.
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong sat around the dinner table. He drank some rice soup, which tasted sweet and refreshing, and quenched his thirst. It was not as thick as porridge.
This was cooked with the magical rice he brought from Huqi Mountain. It made one feel comfortable all over when drinking it.
Xue Yuantong used a spoon to get some sauce and spread it on the pancake, then put some shredded potatoes and green pepper strips on it. He folded the pancake with his little hands, making a "crackling" sound.
Xue Yuantong picked up the pancake and ate it happily.
Jiang Ning thought it was too troublesome and took a bite of the cake and a bite of the vegetable.
Xue Yuantong ate the cake and drank the rice soup at the same time, while Jiang Ning only took two sips at the beginning and drank the soup after finishing the cake.
After a leisurely breakfast, Xue Yuantong ran to the door to play.
Jiang Ning was responsible for washing the pots and dishes. He did not use his spiritual power, but washed the dishes with his hands. Sometimes, the process of washing the dishes was a bit relaxing.
During this time, the cell phone vibrated twice.
Jiang Ning wet his hands with water, and he activated his spiritual power. His cell phone flew out of his pocket and hung in the air in front of him.
Yang Sheng sent a message: "I'll go first. I wore a Tai Chi suit today and a lot of people looked at me on the way. I should have changed it when I got to school."
As she spoke, she sent me a photo.
Yang Sheng in the picture has short hair and the Tai Chi suit makes her look like a female knight.
Jiang Ning: "You go first, I'll leave right away."
After Jiang Ning finished washing the dishes and Xue Yuantong finished pushing the mountain bike, she shouted at the door:
"Jiang Ning, stop dawdling and go to school!"
"Here it comes." Jiang Ning's spiritual power flowed in his hands, drying up the water droplets.
He took a step forward, and the phone that was suspended in the air suddenly shook, drew a curve, and disappeared into his pocket.
Xue Yuantong stood by the bicycle waiting. After Jiang Ning left, the old man and old woman who were eating next door saw him and praised him:
"Xiao Jiang, you are not bad at all!"
The old man was holding a rice bowl. The rice was bought from the river dam and was very salty.
Jiang Ning: "It's OK, the school requires it."
After a brief greeting, Jiang Ning took Xue Yuantong with him on his bike.
Xue Yuantong sat sideways in the back seat. She was now very skilled in riding a car. She could keep steady without holding on to anything with her hands, and she could even shake her legs.
Jiang Ning's car was so stable that Xue Yuantong felt comfortable sitting in it.
The mountain bike drove onto the dam, and Xue Yuantong simply leaned her shoulder on Jiang Ning's back. She held a piece of grass in her mouth and admired the pedestrians on the road on the dam.
The golden sunlight shone on her body, making her feel warm. As the car drove by, passing all kinds of people, Xue Yuantong felt particularly comfortable. She really wanted to sleep in again.
"Jiang Ning, the blanket was dirty last night. I'll wash it for you when you come back at noon. I also need to wash my sheets," said Xue Yuantong.
She has a fully automatic washing machine at home, so it is very convenient to wash the sheets without having to do anything.
"Okay." Actually, there was no need to wash. Jiang Ning had cleaned it with his spiritual power last night. Since she wanted to, Jiang Ning didn't mind.
Xue Yuantong held the grass in her mouth for a while, then she pulled out a long, round piece of tender green grass from her pocket.
She used her fingers to peel off the skin, revealing the juicy, white, cotton-like ears inside. This is the "reed buds".
Xue Yuantong stretched out his arm and put it to Jiang Ning's mouth:
"Here, this is delicious."
Jiang Ning opened his mouth and ate it. The grass sprouts were very tender, soft and sweet, with a fresh fragrance.
"Is it delicious?" Xue Yuantong asked him.
"Mm, it's delicious."
Xue Yuantong said: "I loved picking grass sprouts the most in elementary school. My eyesight was very good, so I could pick a large handful every time and eat them all at once!"
She missed the good times back then: "Chuchu and I were picking together, she was clumsy and didn't pick as many as I did, hehe."
Jiang Ning: “I’ve picked them before.”
In the past, material conditions were scarce and he had no snacks to eat. He often ran to the ridges of the fields with his friends to pick up reed sprouts. He picked a lot of them and then exchanged them for spicy strips with his rich friends in the village.
"I'll give you another one." Xue Yuantong took out another one and fed it to his mouth.
As time was tight today, Xue Yuantong only picked a few.
While eating the grass sprouts, Xue Yuantong searched the roadside with her eyes and vaguely found traces, but she had to go to school, otherwise she could ask Jiang Ning to stop the car to pick the grass sprouts.
Xue Yuantong suppressed his restless thoughts.
…
The gate of No. 4 Middle School.
As soon as he entered the school gate, Jiang Ning found that today's school was very different from the past.
There were several big red banners hung at the school gate, with the words "Yuzhou No. 4 Middle School's 60th Anniversary" and a welcome speech to alumni written on them.
From a distance, there are many flowers blooming on both sides of the long main road of the campus, and flags and various banners are erected every few steps.
The school security guards, as well as Director Wang from the Security Department and several others, all stood at the school gate, their backs straight, their eyes scanning the students entering the school, full of energy.
Jiang Ning rode his bike to the school gate and was met with several stern looks. He stopped his bike and those looks slowed down.
He held the handlebars and walked into the school gate. Along the way, he met many students in Tai Chi uniforms. When Jiang Ning entered the classroom, the whole classroom was covered in white.
When I saw Wang Longlong coming towards me, a smile broke out on his slightly plump face. The Tai Chi suit he wore looked like a shroud, highlighting the festive atmosphere.
Wang Longlong immediately clasped his fists and shouted:
"Master Jiang, welcome to my retirement ceremony today. Come on, take your seat!"
Jiang Ning smiled and went to his seat.
Geng Lu poked him and stood in front of him: "Does it look good?"
Jiang Ning looked up.
Geng Lu grabbed the belt around her waist and gently pulled it outwards. The Tai Chi suit, which was originally loose, suddenly pulled inwards.
The slender waist suddenly becomes thinner, forming a sharp arc contrast with the bulge above, and the natural thin branches bear fruit.
Jiang Ning said seriously: "Well, not bad."
Geng Lu showed a pure smile on her face: "As long as it looks good."
She showed it to Jiang Ning for a while, then pulled the waistline wider, because she knew it was too obvious.
Back row.
Wu Xiaoqi came in.
Shan Kaiquan said happily: "Wu Xiaoqi, weren't your pants torn? How come you have new pants?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started laughing.
Wu Xiaoqi looked embarrassed, but did not refute and went straight back to his seat.
Shan Kaiquan and others made a fuss.
The head teacher Shan Qingrong appeared and the students hurried back to their seats.
The head teacher looked at the students in the class. All of them were wearing Tai Chi uniforms. No, there was also Xue Yuantong.
Shan Qingrong instructed: "Come downstairs with me right now, stand at the designated position, and practice Tai Chi."
Guo Kunnan raised his hand: "Teacher Shan, how long will we practice Tai Chi?"
Shan Qingrong said: "It depends on the situation. Anyway, everyone should behave well and there will be many alumni coming over."
Dong Qingfeng said: "I heard there is a big boss of Changqing Liquid!"
Wang Yong: "And provincial leaders."
Chen Qian put down the pen in his hand and adjusted his glasses: "Class teacher, are there any academicians attending the school celebration?"
On the 60th anniversary of the founding of No. 4 Middle School, they were fortunate enough to produce a top scientific research talent.
Shan Qingrong smiled and said, "Yes, I am here."
Chen Qian's eyes suddenly lit up. Academician, that is the biggest dream of a scholar.
Shan Qingrong answered some questions and glanced at the clock on the blackboard behind him: "Time is up, everyone follow me."
"Xue Yuantong doesn't need to go, you stay in the class."
She patted Jiang Ning: "Go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back."
Jiang Ning and Geng Lu went out with their classmates. The corridor was full of students in Tai Chi uniforms.
They went forward and stopped in front of Building 1.
Class 8 was located at the back. Jiang Ning stood at the back of the team and looked ahead. The front was full of students. His sight crossed the main road of the campus and the No. 2 teaching building opposite was also crowded with students in Tai Chi uniforms.
Guo Kunnan said: "There are so many people."
Dong Qingfeng looked at the formation and said, "Should we use Tai Chi to welcome outstanding alumni?"
After the formation was completed, the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
The sound of string music came from the school's loudspeakers, and the students began to practice Tai Chi following the movements of the physical education teacher.
The students who participated in the drill included freshmen and sophomores of high school, totaling more than 20 classes and more than 1,000 people.
Thousands of people were rehearsing, and even the students who usually laughed and jokingly were consciously immersed in this atmosphere.
Outside the gate of No. 4 Middle School, cars stopped one after another, and school leaders and teachers came forward, and well-dressed people got out of the cars one after another.
Surrounded by school leaders, they entered the campus and walked along the main road of the campus, with people carrying cameras following behind them.
The students practicing Tai Chi on both sides of the road are just their background.
Zhang Chi, who was practicing Tai Chi, looked at the guests passing by on the road and saluted them.
There are more students like him.
Everyone knows that everyone invited to attend the school anniversary celebration has a special status.
Jiang Ning ignored him and continued to focus on practicing Tai Chi. His every move was as smooth as flowing water and extremely beautiful, attracting the attention of students nearby.
Class 1 was grouped near Class 8. Lin Zida performed Tai Chi clumsily. He had not learned it all. He just followed the movements of the students nearby. In a formation with so many people, he was able to fish in troubled waters and was difficult to be discovered.
Lin Zida saw Jiang Ning's Tai Chi and couldn't help but say:
"Fuck, that's so handsome!"
The beautiful girl next to him, Dong Jiayi, had her eyes fixed on Jiang Ning. Her well-fitting Tai Chi outfit, her extraordinary temperament, and her free and easy movements were very lethal to girls of the same age.
This made Wei Xiuyuan, the life committee member of Class 1, curse in his heart, others are practicing Tai Chi to complete their tasks, but you are just showing off!
"If I had known earlier, I would have practiced Tai Chi well." Wei Xiuyuan missed the opportunity.
His progress in conquering Dong Jiayi has improved significantly compared to before, from 99% to 99.9%. As long as he works a little harder, he will be able to break through the window paper, successfully confess his love in one fell swoop, and achieve the achievement of being a lover.
Many strong men in suits and sunglasses appeared on the main road of the campus.
Some classmates whispered privately, bodyguard
Li Shi from Class 2 glanced at the students around her and explained calmly, "Those are from the Evergreen Liquid Company, responsible for security."
Zhao Xiaofeng: "Sister Li, you know so much, amazing!"
The alumni passed by the Tai Chi formation, just took a look, and then went to the No. 5 Teaching Building at the back with the school leaders.
The Tai Chi practice ended until no one appeared at the school gate and the string music from the loudspeaker stopped.
Ma Shicheng sighed: "We have worked so hard for a month and a half to practice Tai Chi for such a long time, just for a short period of time now."
After listening to this, Zhang Chi said solemnly: "I hope I won't have to be someone else's foil in the future."
"I want others to be my foil." He kept this sentence in his heart.
Ma Shicheng's face flashed with surprise, and he said, "Come on."
He was not as shocked as Zhang Chi. Instead, he was very calm. He had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't have much obsession.
"Longlong, let's go." Ma Shicheng shouted.
Wang Longlong came over and whispered, "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I just saw a man. I've seen him speak on TV!"
Ma Shicheng: "It's normal. If there are academicians, there must be other outstanding people."
No. 4 Middle School has a history of sixty years, and with so many classes of students, there are always some who have made extraordinary achievements.
After practicing Tai Chi, everyone returned to the classroom.
The students were talking about it.
Chen Siyu picked up her schoolbag and said to Jiang Ning, "Let's go. See you at the sports meet!"
They participated in the performance at the school anniversary opening ceremony.
"Bye-Bye."
At the same time, Pang Jiao, Zhang Yifei and Li Shengnan were still chatting on the north side of the classroom.
Wu Xiaoqi looked at the Tai Chi suit on his deskmate Pang Jiao. How should he describe it
Wu Xiaoqi couldn't describe it, he was very scared. He knew that the Tai Chi suit was of poor quality, and he was afraid that the Tai Chi suit on Pang Jiao would explode and cover his face in blood!
The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Wu Xiaoqi dared to ask:
"Pang Jiao, when does your show start?"
Pang Jiao slowly turned her head and shouted, "Are you eager to enjoy our performance?"
Wu Xiaoqi's face twitched when he was spat on.
Pang Jiao: "We are at the closing ceremony."
Wu Xiaoqi thought to himself: 'Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely be absent from the closing ceremony.'
At this time, the head teacher came in from the front door: "Okay, students, move your stools and follow me to the playground."
"Xue Yuantong stay." He instructed again.
The school celebration has begun.
There was a sound of tables, chairs and benches colliding in the classroom.
Jiang Ning's spiritual awareness expanded, covering this familiar scene, just like many years ago.
Geng Lu came over and said, "Jiang Ning, let's sit together. It's very hot today. I brought some water."
Jiang Ning picked up his schoolbag: "Okay."
