After a busy period, lunch was finally ready.
Xue Yuantong was the main one busy, Jiang Ning helped out occasionally, and when it was the last dish, he moved the dining table to the main room.
Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong washed their faces, gathered around the dining table and prepared to eat.
The neighbor's dog smelled the scent but could only watch and could not come near because Jiang Ning thought it was in the way and had imprisoned it with magic in advance.
The dog could only smell the scent and feel extremely ecstatic.
Xue Yuantong picked up half a crab and took a bite of the crab roe. The rich, crispy and soft texture almost made her cry.
Looking at the crab roe again, under the sunlight, it presents a warm luster and exudes a rich and mellow aroma.
She simply couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't wait to take another bite.
The crabs that Jiang Ning caught from Huqi Mountain were not very big, but they were firm and had lots of roe, so you could take a big bite.
Compared to Xue Yuantong's indulgence, Xue Chuchu was much more conservative. She used a knife to pick up a piece of lettuce as a side dish for the crab.
The lettuce was stained with the unique fragrance of crab, which was refreshing and crispy when bitten. Xue Chuchu was very satisfied.
Xue Yuantong finished half of the crab roe, and when he saw her eating vegetarian food, he urged her, "Chu Chu, what are you doing? Eat the crabs!"
Xue Chuchu smiled reservedly. Even when facing the crabs raised by spiritual energy, her good upbringing and perseverance still allowed her to remain restrained.
Jiang Ning finally understood that it was not enough for Xue Yuantong to eat the crabs. She would not move until she ate the crabs herself.
This is just so... traditional.
However, Xue Yuantong didn't care and took a crab and put it into Chuchu's bowl.
Xue Chuchu was helpless.
…
Meanwhile, downtown.
Chen Qing'e was writing a test paper in her room. She came from a small town with backward education. Her grades were not outstanding in the town and were not as good as Jiang Ning's.
At that time, whenever she encountered questions she didn't know how to answer, Jiang Ning would usually explain them to her.
After arriving at No. 4 Middle School, she could more clearly see the gap between herself and her classmates, so she studied very hard. Apart from occasionally going out to play on weekends, she spent most of her weekends memorizing lessons and doing exercises.
If she encountered a question she didn't know how to answer at school, she would take the initiative to seek help from the class monitor and Dong Qingfeng.
If she is at home, it is Jiang Junlong from the experimental class of No. 2 Middle School. After nearly a year of hard work, Shen Qing'e's grades are now among the top 15 in the class eight which is full of strong students.
In contrast, Jiang Junlong next door seldom did his homework and often closed the door to play games. He even had several arguments with his aunt over the issue of locking the door.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.
Shen Qing'e glanced at the alarm clock on the desk. It was half past eleven.
She put her pen down on the test paper, stood up and left the bedroom.
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw several figures. The first was her uncle, followed by two strangers, a bald middle-aged man and the other a girl about her age.
Facing her peers, Shen Qing'e took a closer look. The girl was wearing branded clothes, including Adidas shoes. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail with a strand of hair hanging down in front of her ears, falling on her pretty face, making her look even more beautiful.
There was just a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, or an air of being unperturbed by fame or disgrace, which was a quality that Shen Qing'e rarely saw.
Uncle Jiang Qitian said in a loud voice: "Brother Yao, sit down, sit down!"
He had a pot belly and greeted the bald man next to him.
Jiang Junlong was watching TV on the sofa. When he heard this, he quickly ran to the refrigerator, took out three ice creams, and shared them with Shen Qing'e and the new girl.
Thanks to the influence of his family, Jiang Junlong is quite skilled in dealing with people.
Shen Qing'e smiled at the girl to express her welcome.
After his aunt came over, Jiang Qitian said, "Open the bottles of wine in the warehouse. Brother Yao and I will have a drink today."
My uncle runs a restaurant business and has a wide range of friends. Occasionally, when guests come to his house, if he can bring them home, it is enough to prove the importance of the other person.
With the arrival of uncle Jiang Qitian, the family started to have lunch.
At the dinner table, Jiang Qitian pointed at the food on the table and said, "It's a pity that the Xiaoqinglong I asked someone to purchase hasn't been delivered yet, otherwise I could have tried it today."
The middle-aged man named Yao was very considerate and immediately smiled and said, "Hey, why bother spending money? It's my treat!"
The two drank and chatted happily, and during the conversation, Shen Qing'e roughly understood what had happened.
This Uncle Yao is in the engineering business. He runs a good business in Yuzhou. He does a great job and guarantees the quality.
Recently, Changqing Liquid has been expanding. The company has acquired a piece of land in Yuzhou, which is said to be several hundred acres!
All of these lands were used to build the Changqing Liquid headquarters park. After hearing this, the official leaders of Yuzhou quickly gave the land to Changqing Liquid and offered all kinds of preferential treatment.
They were worried about the Changqing Liquid being moved away before, but now they are finally relieved.
Uncle Yao was eager to get a piece of the pie from the construction of such a large park. Then, uncle Jiang Qitian contacted Jiang Ning's parents and brought it up experimentally in a remote company meeting. As a result, Uncle Yao really got some side projects.
Everyone knows how rich Changqing Liquid is. Even a little bit of scraps can bring millions of profits, which almost supported Uncle Yao's engineering team.
Uncle Yao was so grateful for such a big favor that he wanted to become sworn brothers with Jiang Qitian.
When Uncle Jiang Qitian was drinking with Brother Yao, he was still shocked. He just wanted to give it a try, so he called his brother in Wen Cheng, and it actually worked.
Only then did he begin to understand how terrifying the power of Changqingye’s executives was.
The aunt picked up the watermelon and said to him, "Ningning came this morning and brought a watermelon with her. It's just the right time to cut it."
Jiang Junlong stood up and took the knife: "Mom, let me cut it, let me cut it."
He still remembers the taste of that melon.
After hearing this, uncle Jiang Qitian said to his younger brother Yao, "My nephew brought me some melons. You are lucky to be here today. Try some. I guarantee you will never forget them."
Uncle Yao didn’t care. How delicious could a melon be
His daughter Yao Yiyao had the same idea. In fact, she didn't want to come today because she had made an appointment with her classmates to go to a newly opened hot pot restaurant in the city. But her father insisted on bringing her here, saying that it would allow the two children to get to know each other and have a closer relationship in the future.
So much so that Yao Yiyao resisted in her heart, you do business one thing, what does it have to do with me
Besides, she never thought that her father got the Changqing Liquid project through connections. Her family's project quality was well-known in Yuzhou, and she would definitely get it based on her own strength.
So she was always reluctant.
Jiang Junlong doesn't know how to use a knife and cuts the melon very slowly.
The uncle chatted casually, "My nephew is amazing, tall and handsome, sensible, and now he is studying in No. 4 Middle School."
Yao Yiyao followed up with a sentence, pointing out the level of No. 4 Middle School: "No. 4 Middle School is very good. It ranks among the top ten high schools in our city."
Shen Qing'e: "Which high school are you from?"
Yao Yiyao: "Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School."
If No. 2 Middle School is the elite of Yuzhou, then No. 4 Middle School seems third-rate in comparison.
No. 2 Middle School mostly looks down on other schools, and the arrogance in Yao Yiyao's expression became even stronger.
Shen Qing'e took a bite of the food and said, "It's amazing that you can go to No. 2 Middle School."
Yao Yiyao was a little flattered by the compliment: "I think it's OK. As long as you study hard for the high school entrance exam, you can go to No. 2 High School. That's what my classmates say."
The uncle was a shrewd man. After hearing this, he felt unhappy, but he did not argue with the little girl.
Uncle Yao gave his daughter a look.
Yao Yiyao has been arrogant since she was a child. She was already resentful, so how could she listen to her father
Jiang Junlong came with the melon, gave two slices to the guests first, and then distributed them to his family.
Shen Qing'e suddenly asked: "Junlong, is Yaoyao from your experimental class?"
Hearing this, Jiang Junlong looked at Yao Yiyao carefully.
"No way?" There are several experimental classes in No. 2 Middle School, and he has never seen anyone like Yao Yiyao.
Yao Yiyao asked: "Are you in the experimental class?"
Jiang Junlong: "Ah, yes."
Yao Yiyao felt outdone and her expression suddenly became gloomy. Her identity as a second-grade middle school student had always been her pride.
Jiang Junlong noticed that the girl's complexion was not right. He thought about it and said comfortingly:
"The experimental class of No. 2 Middle School is nothing. Last week, we went to Jiangnan for a study tour. Our experimental class was not qualified at all. Only students from Tsinghua University and Peking University could go."
"The Tsinghua and Peking University classes are awesome, right? But my cousin who is from No. 4 Middle School did even better in the city-wide exam than the Tsinghua and Peking University classes. His neighbor, who is also from No. 4 Middle School, got first place in the city. So I tell you, the ordinary classes are nothing special. They may even do better than our experimental classes."
Jiang Junlong made some heartwarming remarks for the sake of the daughter of his father's business partner.
After he finished speaking, his mouth felt a little dry, and he shouted, "Eat melon, eat melon, my cousin's melon is delicious!"
Shen Qing'e saw Yao Yiyao's face turn gloomy and laughed in her heart, how proud is she of an ordinary class in No. 2 Middle School
Can't cure you
Jiang Qitian took a bite of the melon. It tasted the same as last time, crispy and sweet. He felt comfortable all over after taking a bite, just like when he was a kid and went to the neighboring village with his brothers to steal melons, and was chased two miles by the owner. In the end, he enjoyed the fruits of victory exhausted.
Before Jiang Qitian could speak, he heard Uncle Yao next to him shout, "Good melon, good melon!"
After saying that, he finished it in a few bites.
My aunt, feeling extremely heartbroken, gave him another piece.
Yao Yiyao was feeling depressed and didn't want to eat the melon at first, but when she saw everyone eating it with relish, she couldn't help but take a bite.
This bite even made her forget her previous unhappiness. It was better than all the fruits she had eaten since she was a child.
The watermelon was not that big, and there were eight people at the table, so it was quickly divided up.
Uncle Jiang Qitian was still not satisfied: "Next time, I have to ask Ningning to bring some. Last time, this kid lied to me and said he bought it on the street. Why did he buy it again this time?"
My aunt said, "He said this morning that he bought it from a classmate's house."
Shen Qing'e suddenly said, "Next time, maybe he'll say he planted it himself."
Yao Yiyao finished eating later than the others and only had one piece in the end. She missed the sweetness and said, "Dad, let's buy some."
Uncle Yao had the same idea, so he proposed it to Jiang Qitian.
Jiang Qitian himself hadn't gotten any more baldness. He glanced at the other's bald head and said, "Brother Yao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you've taken on the Changqing Liquid project, you can't be bald again."
Uncle Yao rubbed his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll buy two bottles tomorrow."
Jiang Qitian said to his aunt, "Next time the Xiao Qinglong I ordered arrives, please save some and ask Ningning to come to our house to eat. It's a good thing."
Aunt: "He may not be willing to stay for dinner."
Jiang Qitian: "He won't burn it if I give it to him."
Cousin Jiang Junlong: "That's not necessarily true. His neighbor's cooking is really delicious."
Shen Qing'e felt the same way. Although she was not interested in Xue Yuantong, she was an excellent cook.
…
River dam.
The meal lasted from 11:30 to 1:00 in the afternoon, a full hour and a half. Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu, who had let go of her reserve, worked together to finish five and a half crabs and half a watermelon.
Xue Yuantong lay on a stool, leaning against the door, temporarily losing the ability to move.
Xue Chuchu was fine, she was still able to clean the table, but Jiang Ning stopped her: "Let me do it."
"Jiang Ning, I also want to go for research." Xue Yuantong fantasized.
At the dinner table, she listened to Chuchu talk about her experience of studying in Jiangnan, where she saw the bluestone streets, ancient alleys, and art galleries. She also took a cruise and landed on the island in the middle of the lake, and saw the culture, history, and mountains and rivers of Anhui Province.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "No. 4 Middle School is very rich now. You and your class teacher can give it a try."
Xue Yuantong immediately retreated, his eyes evasive: "Let's talk about it later."
…
Sunday afternoon, in Jiang Ning's room.
Xue Yuantong was playing a game: "Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, there's a big supermarket near our school, would you like to take a look together?"
Just now she was watching her classmates discussing in the class group, clamoring to go shopping in the supermarket together.
Jiang Ning: "Do you want to go?"
"I do." Xue Yuantong calculated how much pocket money she had.
"Okay, let's go early this afternoon."
Jiang Ning also likes to go shopping in the supermarket, especially when he has money.
…
The lights in the supermarket are bright. In the snack area, the shelves on both sides are filled with a wide variety of snack packages, which are for reference only.
The air conditioning was on full blast, even making people feel cold.
Shan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan walked among them, looking at the various snacks, potato chips, dried fruits, braised meat, chocolate, and bread.
Shan Kaiquan originally wanted to carry a basket, but he couldn't find one, so he had to push the shopping cart.
Guo Kunnan looked at the snacks on the shelf while searching on Taobao on his phone. He pointed at the box of biscuits and said in shock: "This is too dark. The same thing is 21 yuan on Taobao with free shipping, but it's 26 yuan here."
Shan Kaiquan had a blank expression on his face as he picked up the box of biscuits and threw it into the shopping cart.
Guo Kunnan felt as if he had been tricked, and said uncomfortably: "Brother Quan, Brother Quan, don't get tricked!"
Shan Kaiquan: "I am willing."
Guo Kunnan stopped talking.
Whenever Shan Kaiquan comes across snacks he likes, he throws them directly into the car. Only crazy consumption can make his stagnant heart fluctuate. Only in this way can he feel the meaning of life.
On the way, Guo Kunnan met Lu Qiqi from his class. She was with Jiang Yanan. This new supermarket attracted many students from No. 4 Middle School to come shopping.
Guo Kunnan greeted: "Lu Qiqi, where is your partner?"
Lu Qiqi looked unhappy: "We broke up."
After she lost her partner, she had to buy food with her own money, and her quality of life dropped by two levels.
She now urgently needs to find a new partner to relieve the pressure of life.
Lu Qiqi looked at the shelves. There were a lot of her favorite foods on them. She could take them at will before, but now, she can only pick them carefully.
Suddenly, a tall and strong boy appeared from behind the shelf. Guo Kunnan said, "Tianpeng, I thought you were lost."
They were boarding students, and after Guo Kunnan suggested going to the cafeteria, Yan Tianpeng followed him, but he did not go with Guo Kunnan in the supermarket.
As soon as Yan Tianpeng saw Lu Qiqi, he immediately came up to her and greeted her like a pug.
Lu Qiqi was indifferent because she knew Yan Tianpeng was very stingy.
However, Yan Tianpeng was unusually generous today. He pointed at the shelf and said domineeringly: "Qiqi, pick whichever you like!"
Lu Qiqi's eyes lit up.
Yan Tianpeng picked up a bag of spicy chicken legs at random, which cost 16 yuan, and put them into Lu Qiqi's shopping cart without blinking.
At this moment, he looked very handsome when buying things.
Lu Qiqi's impression of him immediately improved a lot. A bad guy may do countless bad things, but as long as he does one good thing, people will feel that he is really good.
Yan Tianpeng helped her choose a lot of food. As long as Lu Qiqi liked it, he didn't even look at the price. Such generosity, coupled with his tall and burly figure, made Jiang Yanan want to have a boyfriend.
After a while, Lu Qiqi's shopping cart was half full.
Yan Tianpeng waved his hand again, "Whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to use, just choose whatever you want!"
Lu Qiqi pushed the cart to buy skin care products.
Yan Tianpeng fell behind and left the supermarket with Guo Kunnan.
When they arrived at the supermarket entrance, Guo Kunnan suddenly asked in surprise: "Tianpeng, you didn't pay the bill?"
