May 1st, holiday.
"Chu Chu is almost here." Xue Yuantong was packing.
Jiang Ning sat on a small stool at the door, feeling relaxed and comfortable. It was cloudy today and the temperature dropped sharply to just 20 degrees.
He held two small white cards between his fingers. There were pictures of cruise ships printed on them, and a silver-painted scratch-off area in the lower right corner with the word "10% off" marked on it.
They plan to go boating in the park today.
"You don't need to bring water, right?" Jiang Ning saw her filling a large bottle of purified water.
Xue Yuantong pinched his waist and looked very knowledgeable: "The water in the park is really a rip-off, a bottle costs several yuan."
"During the last Qingming outing, Wu Xiaoqi from our class bought a drink in the park. A small bottle cost 7 yuan!"
She would not be tricked by the park!
Seeing that she seemed to be making sense, Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning showed the card: "Look carefully, this is not an ordinary discount card, this is a supreme discount card."
Xue Yuantong took the card and saw the Supreme symbol.
“The Supreme Discount Card not only comes with a fruit plate, but also a drink,” Jiang Ning explained.
"Is this true?" Xue Yuantong was skeptical. "How come you were able to draw such a good card?"
Jiang Ning: "Haha, I'm lucky."
Xue Yuantong thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, that's as good as mine. Last time I went to the snack street, I won 500 yuan from the lottery."
"Indeed, we are very similar," said Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong was very happy to hear this. She and Jiang Ning were very similar, so didn't that mean that she was as powerful as Jiang Ning
Although he refused to admit it, deep down in his heart, Xue Yuantong had long regarded Jiang Ning as the most powerful person in the world.
Upon learning that water was delivered by boat, Xue Yuantong put down the water bottle and continued to organize other things.
Jiang Ning looked at her busy figure, shook his head and laughed. Look at her achievement. She went out for more than ten kilometers and looked like she wanted to take everything with her.
If she were to go traveling, she would probably empty out her entire house.
It doesn’t matter, he has a storage ring.
Jiang Ning decided to take her out to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland during the summer vacation in two months.
Xue Yuantong packed up a bunch of things, causing Jiang Ning's mountain bike to be like a mule, with a bunch of miscellaneous items on the handlebars and armrests.
Xue Yuantong held a bamboo pole and stood upright. The pole was much taller than her.
There is an iron ring at one end of the bamboo pole, and a net is attached to the iron ring. This is a scoop net that can be used to catch fish.
Xue Yuantong knew her own limitations. She went fishing many times but always came back empty-handed.
People should know how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, so Xue Yuantong secretly made a scoop net by herself. It is easy to use and convenient for catching fish, which is most suitable for her.
"Look, I'm going to go fishing on the boat today, so I can have a snack at noon."
Jiang Ning: "Can this net catch fish?"
He seriously doubted it.
Jiang Ning used to catch fish with a scoop net, and he originally thought it was easy. But when he got the hang of it, he realized it was extremely difficult, much harder than fishing, and it was impossible for anyone but an expert to master it.
Xue Yuantong was very proud, with intelligence and wisdom in her eyes. She held the scoop net with both hands as if she were holding a spear.
"Hehe, I just grab it lightly and the fish is in the net." She made a waving motion.
"Wait for the fish."
Jiang Ning thought: "I'm afraid only a cultivator who practices fasting can patiently wait for you to catch the fish."
There was a noise coming from the land at the door. Xue Chuchu pressed the brake and the black electric car stopped. She was holding a bag of white tofu in her hand.
"Tongtong, I bought it."
As she walked, Xue Chuchu gently lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ears. A faint smile appeared on her cold face.
Xue Yuantong was very satisfied: "Chu Chu, you are awesome."
She lived in Heba, and if she wanted to buy tofu, she had to go to the vegetable market in the city, which was quite troublesome. Chuchu happened to bring it to her on the way.
Jiang Ning wondered: "Tofu stewed with fish?"
"Yes, that's right." Xue Yuantong thought so.
Jiang Ning questioned, "There's no sign of the fish yet?"
Xue Yuantong shook her scoop net. With the sharp weapon in hand, the fish was bound to not escape.
"Chu Chu, do you believe me?" Xue Yuantong sought external support.
Xue Chuchu didn't believe it, but she was Tongtong's good friend, so she should support her.
"Believe it." Xue Chuchu coaxed the child. She knew Tongtong could be stupid sometimes.
Xue Yuantong closed the door and it was time to set off.
"Tongtong, would you like to take my car?" Xue Chuchu invited. Her electric car had a large seat and could carry several Tongtongs.
Xue Yuantong was running towards her exclusive throne. When she heard Chuchu's words, she turned her head and said loudly: "I'll take the battery car!"
"Jiang Ning, I'm abandoning you." Tongtong got into Chuchu's car, like a heartless woman.
In fact, it was not that Xue Yuantong liked Chuchu's bike, but the journey was more than ten kilometers, and Jiang Ning's bicycle was full of things. If she sat on it, it would definitely be a burden for Jiang Ning.
The electric scooter that Chuchu rides does not require human power.
…
It was the May Day holiday, and there were many pedestrians on the river dam, and cars passing by from time to time.
The river dam with beautiful scenery and fresh air naturally becomes the first choice for people to relax.
What's more, there is a wide plain nearby, which is perfect for camping.
A dozen kilometers is not far. Xue Chuchu's electric car has great power and they arrived at the park in less than half an hour.
Looking down from the river dam, the park is built along the lake and covers a very large area.
There is a large archway in front of the park, and the top of the archway is a building similar to ancient eaves with brightly colored bricks and tiles.
Xue Chuchu stood at the door, looking at the various trees planted inside the park. She didn't know where to go.
In comparison, Xue Yuantong had come here once for an outing and was a regular customer.
Like a senior, she told the newcomer Chuchu, "The car is parked there."
There is a parking lot on the left side of the park entrance. After parking the car, Xue Chuchu took her things and left with peace of mind. She was not worried about someone stealing her car because her electric car was too old and thieves would not even look at it.
Jiang Ning left a spiritual mark on the mountain bike.
Tourists come and go in the park, including the elderly, parents with children, and young boys and girls walking together, walking around the park.
Recently, some buildings have been built in the park, making it much more bustling.
Xue Yuantong did not go straight to the lake. She walked around the park and came to the river. She pointed at the bridge and told Chuchu about the incident in their class where Cui Yu fell into the river. It caused such a big commotion that many students jumped into the river to save him. Everyone was very worried.
Finally, the wise Xue Yuantong appeared and pointed out the depth of the river with just one word, saving his classmates who were in dire straits.
Xue Chuchu was a little dazed when she heard this, and always felt that the story was a bit far-fetched.
Jiang Ning next to her watched quietly.
Xue Yuantong had no guilty conscience. She knew Jiang Ning's character. Jiang Ning didn't like to show off, so let her sing the praises of his achievements on his behalf!
After finishing the story, Xue Yuantong was still unsatisfied and only regretted that Jiang Ning had performed too few heroic deeds.
The three of them strolled in the park and looked at the rockery made of large stones. Xue Yuantong climbed up. When she climbed the last large stone, her calves were shaking so much that she could not stand steadily.
We also went to the newly built suspension bridge. The suspension bridge swayed violently. The river water under the bridge was clear, and the little lotus flowers with their pointed tips just revealed looked as tender as Xue Yuantong.
Xue Yuantong walked tremblingly for a third of the way and was finally picked up by Chuchu.
After this incident, Xue Yuantong found several excuses to try to save her tall figure.
Xue Chuchu smiled but said nothing.
Finally, they walked to the lake. Xue Yuantong recovered his mood and stood on the shore looking out.
The sun was hidden behind the clouds, casting a not-so-bright light. A breeze blew, and the clouds moved slowly across the sky.
There are two small boats floating on the rippling lake, as if they are flying above the clouds. The two boats seem lonely in the huge lake, but if you look closely, you can find people on the boats, couples, families, enjoying a rare quiet time.
The style of the cruise ship is different from the one Xue Yuantong saw last time he came to the park. The current cruise ship is more ancient in style, with a shading wooden roof on the back half of the hull.
"The boat is beautiful." Xue Chuchu praised. There were three cruise ships docked at the ferry.
"Isn't it expensive?" she asked again.
Jiang Ning showed the Supreme Card in his hand: "I have a Supreme VIP card, which gives me a 10% discount."
As he spoke, he walked into a building by the lake, which was a shop responsible for operating cruise ships.
The store is about 30 to 40 square meters in size, with white floors, refrigerators, freezers, and fruit shelves, and is quite complete.
There was a woman in her early thirties cutting fruit.
There is also a middle-aged man, with a strong body and slightly dark skin. His surname is Li. He was recommended to work here. The salary and benefits are very good, and there are commissions.
Usually, he is mainly responsible for operating the cruise ship, and also selling fruits, braised food, beverages, etc.
When Boss Li saw the person coming, he immediately asked, "Do you have a reservation?"
Jiang Ning put the Supreme Card on the counter.
When Boss Li saw this, his attitude suddenly changed. He had been told in advance that at any time, he must keep a boat to serve customers with Supreme Cards.
Boss Li smiled and said to the woman in the store, "Xiao Die, please give me a fruit platter, a marinated food platter, and a drink pairing. Bring me a Supreme Edition of each."
He introduced: "Usually the price for renting a cruise ship is 200 yuan for four hours. Today, it is a bit more expensive, 300 yuan for four hours. You have a 10% discount card, so it will be 30 yuan."
Jiang Ning took out a 50-yuan note and said, "Please prepare a set of cooking utensils for me."
Boss Li immediately agreed that cooking was not allowed on the boat, but since the customer was a Supreme Card customer, he had no control over it.
As for cooking utensils, he had prepared them in advance.
"Do you need any fishing gear?" Boss Li has some fishing rods here.
"I brought it." Jiang Ning said.
After chatting for a while, Boss Li picked up the keys and took Jiang Ning to choose a boat.
Before boarding the boat, the woman named Xiaodie came forward with a foam box and said, "Hello, here are some free fruit slices."
Jiang Ning's consciousness passed through the foam box and checked the cut fruits: grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon, bananas, etc. Calculating their quantity, the fruit alone would probably cost over a hundred yuan.
Now that they were about to board the ship, Xue Yuantong clasped her hands tightly, her face turned pale with nervousness; she was afraid of the ship.
She asked quietly: "Chu Chu, are you afraid?"
"Ah, what are you afraid of?" Xue Chuchu asked in confusion.
"Get on board, how scary is that?"
"Oh~"
Xue Yuantong's heart choked. Chu Chu was not afraid at all. Without Chu Chu to support her, she felt even less confident.
Xue Chuchu whispered, "Tongtong, Jiang Ning is watching you. There are others around. You have to cheer up."
"Be tough."
Xue Yuantong's expression changed.
When they started to board the boat, Jiang Ning stepped onto the bow first. Xue Yuantong gritted her teeth, rushed forward and jumped, almost falling into the lake. Fortunately, Jiang Ning caught her.
Xue Chuchu carried the scoop net and moved onto the boat.
Jiang Ning paddled, and the boat floated away from the shore.
…
River dam.
A black luxury car stopped by the roadside and Lin Zida opened the door.
Several people got out of the car one after another, including Zhuang Jianhui, Li Shi, and Wang Yong from Class 8.
"We were here last time." Li Shi looked around the surrounding scenery. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with denim hot pants. She was 175 cm tall and had long, white legs, which was quite eye-catching.
Wang Yong, with his bag on his back, said with a smile, "The last time I came here for an outing, the cruise ship had not yet opened. Now there is a new business, and the boats they use are different from the usual wind-watching boats. In this weather, it's quite interesting to eat some fruit, prepare some braised food, and enjoy the lake view."
He is a native of Yuzhou. Although he is not very old, he knows a lot about the local food, drink and entertainment. Last time, he took Lin Zida and others to a farm house hidden in the suburbs to eat roasted whole lamb, which drew their praises again and again.
This May Day, he learned that Lin Zida did not return to Ancheng and did not go out for travel, so he specially invited him to come and play.
Wang Yong grew up in a compound and understood the ways of the world. He originally had no access to people like Lin Zida, but because they were in the same school and in the next class, he got connected.
Lin Zida was quite excited after hearing this. He was originally playing games at home, but later his aunt Lin Han warned him not to stay at home, so he was forced to go out.
Wang Yong led the way: "This way."
He led a few people all the way to the lakeside of the park, rented a boat for 300 yuan, and gritted his teeth and ordered a large portion of supreme fruit slices, which cost 250 yuan.
Wang Yong felt very distressed. His family was well off, but he felt really bad to have to spend hundreds of dollars.
Li Shi glanced at the fruit slices, a little disdainful: "Is there anything better?"
Boss Li smiled and said that renting a boat was not cheap, and most customers who could afford it were wealthy.
"Do you want durian? One is over 300 yuan?"
He pointed to a pile of durian in the corner and said, "Imported, they taste amazing."
Wang Yong’s wallet was screaming.
Lin Zida couldn't stand the smell: "Goodbye, goodbye."
Li Shi stopped writing.
Boss Li asked again: "Would you like a platter of braised food? It's 188 each. It's made in the kitchen of Changqingye Company, a leading enterprise in Yuzhou."
When talking about the Evergreen Liquid, he straightened his back, looked proud and confident.
Wang Yongxin was bleeding: "Give me a copy of the Supreme Edition."
When paying, Wang Yong took out his wallet generously.
Lin Zida stopped him and laughed: "You paid the money last time, let me do it this time."
There is no need for him to take advantage of this little thing.
…
Jiang Ning was fishing, Xue Yuantong was netting fish, and Xue Chuchu was paddling. They were all doing their job and the atmosphere was peaceful.
"Don't fall down." Xue Chuchu was worried. Tongtong's half body was outside the boat, which was very dangerous.
She went from being afraid at the beginning to being arrogant now, and is not afraid of water at all.
Xue Yuantong fished for more than ten minutes but didn't catch a single fish.
Jiang Ning has already caught two grass carps.
Xue Yuantong was exhausted both physically and mentally. She found a place to sit down and took out her cell phone, which had just received a message reminder.
Someone @ed her in the group, but there were so many messages in the group that she couldn't see who @ed her.
During the May Day holiday, everyone had nothing to do, so they chatted in the group.
Shan Kaiquan and Dong Qingfeng were arguing with each other and discussing automobile companies in various countries, using this to lead to an analysis of the international situation, and their arguments were very logical.
Yu Wen and Wang Longlong occasionally show up and it's very lively.
At this time, Lu Qiqi suddenly sent several messages:
“I’m so pissed off!”
“I’m so pissed off!”
Yu Wen was concerned about her sister: "Qiqi, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Qiqi sent a long string of messages, which roughly meant that during the May Day holiday, she and her boyfriend, who was a sophomore in high school, went out to eat, but he only prepared one meal. Her expectations were dashed and she was very dissatisfied.
Yu Wen wanted to send a message of support, but the class monitor was in the group and she was afraid of damaging his image.
She didn't make a move, Pang Jiao jumped out, and the class was shaking:
"If it was my boyfriend, I would throw the rice in his face!"
It can be seen that Pang Jiao is very angry.
Cui Yu scoffed: "You need to have a boyfriend first."
Pang Jiao: "Cui Yu, do you want to die?"
Cui Yu has been getting cocky lately and doesn't pay any attention to her at all.
Jiang Yanan and others expressed their support for Lu Qiqi. For a while, the group was filled with words comforting her and belittling the boy.
The boys in the class were silent, and no one stepped forward to cause trouble.
Lu Qiqi was still angry: "He doesn't take the festival seriously at all, it makes me so mad!"
Suddenly, Ma Shicheng popped up: "Is it because it was a holiday and you wanted to give your boyfriend a gift, but he didn't accept it, so you are angry?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly changed color.
Yu Wen: "Ma Shicheng, we girls are talking, what do you have to do with it?"
Yang Sheng: "Are you angry because your boyfriend didn't go to work on Labor Day?"
