Monday, June 16th.
Due to the high school entrance exam, No. 4 Middle School is still on holiday today, except for evening self-study classes which are held as normal.
In the morning, the sun was like a fireball, hanging high in the sky. The wild grass was dozing off in the scorching heat, and even the big trees were drooping their branches exhaustedly.
Jiang Ning steered the spirit boat across Qingyu Lake. The mirror-like lake surface reflected the strong sunlight. The willow trees by the lake drooped their branches exhaustedly. Two people were sitting under the trees fishing.
The spirit boat was extremely fast, and in a flash it rushed straight to the distant mountains and forests.
Jiang Ning stood with his hands behind his back, letting the gust of wind blow his clothes.
Until the spirit boat sank into the clouds, Jiang Ning looked back and saw only a dark haze. The lush forest was nowhere to be seen. There was a red sun above his head, shining on the clouds, and the rays of light were brilliant.
Jiang Ning walked straight forward and when he reached a certain place, he pointed his finger and a golden light shot out like a flying knife. The mist seemed to be ignited by sparks and turned into a colorful world.
The scene in my field of vision has completely changed. What I see is an orchard with flowers of various colors blooming, competing for beauty.
Jiang Ning moved, and without being seen walking, he moved in front of the grape trellis.
The grape vines above the mist are covered with blue grape leaves and bunches of plump, dazzling, and flame-red grapes, emitting a faint sweet fragrance that makes one feel relaxed.
If consumed by ordinary people, it can slightly delay aging, improve skin quality and enhance sleep quality.
There was a smile on Jiang Ning's face. The grapes that he transformed with spiritual energy were finally ripening, and his hard work was worth it.
Compared with other fruits, grapes absorb a lot of water, so he specially built a small pool and used spring water containing spiritual energy to nourish them day and night.
Jiang Ning used his spiritual power and stretched out his invisible hand towards the grape rack, grabbing five bunches of grapes.
These are grapes grown with spiritual energy. Each one is as crystal clear as a ruby, and there are no diseased or shrunken fruits.
A small wooden basket flew over from the side of the orchard. Jiang Ning took out a piece of cloth from his storage ring and placed it under the basket. Then he put a few bunches of grapes in it.
He cast a spell to condense the water into ice, which fell into the fruit basket. Finally, he closed the basket and cast a spiritual spell.
After placing the basket, Jiang Ning took five more bunches of grapes and divided them into two parts, one with three bunches and the other with two bunches.
Looking at the grape trellis again, it was a little empty, like a lazy young woman lying there.
Jiang Ning stepped onto the flying boat and flew away ruthlessly.
…
Huqi Mountain, villa area.
A luxury car was parked on the side of the road, and in the distance, two teams of men in uniform were waiting in silence.
On the first floor of the villa, a young woman was leaning on the sofa, her body curves were soft and graceful, and there was a small teardrop mole under her almond-shaped eyes.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.
When Shao Shuangshuang, the owner of Changqing Liquid, saw the man, she immediately got up from the sofa.
Jiang Ning put down the two fruit baskets and said, "Send this basket to Wencheng for me. Use the safest transportation method."
"As for this basket, keep it for yourself."
Shao Shuangshuang was delighted because the fruits Jiang Ning gave her always tasted delicious.
How good did it taste? After her mother ate it, she never mentioned urging her to get married again for three days.
"Well, let's have lunch together. I've asked the chef to come." Shao Shuangshuang said.
Jiang Ning: "I'm afraid it won't work. We killed the chicken at home."
After hearing this, Shao Shuangshuang did not force it: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I will definitely deliver it to you."
Jiang Ning flipped his hand and left three bottles of elixir.
Then go up to the second floor of the villa.
Shao Shuangshuang waited for a few minutes and followed him upstairs, but there was no sign of Jiang Ning.
She was stunned, and a look of regret flashed across her bright and beautiful face. The last time she had dinner with Jiang Ning was last month.
Soon, Shao Shuangshuang adjusted her mood. Her parents were in good health and looked younger and younger. She cured all their migraines and high blood pressure, and her family was harmonious and reunited.
She has become the person she wanted to be before, so what is there to sigh about
…
Hua Fengmei went to the vegetable market and caught a fresh old hen. It was a free-range chicken raised at home by nearby villagers who had specially brought it to the city to sell.
At noon, they used a clay pot to cook. Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong, and Xue Chuchu watched the whole show.
All the neighbors nearby smelled the fragrance, and the local dogs next door were eager to try it, but they were restrained by Jiang Ning's magic power in advance and could only smell it.
In addition to the hen, there were also beef and shrimps. The lunch was quite rich and was no worse than that during the Chinese New Year.
Five people gathered around the dining table. Aunt Gu had specially chilled a few bottles of beer. They drank beer and ate at the door, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
After lunch, Xue Yuantong was too full to walk, and it was Chuchu who helped her to Jiang Ning's room.
Xue Yuantong rested for a while and recovered his strength.
She looked both ways. One was Xue Chuchu, and the other was Jiang Ning, her best friend, and her best... huh
For a moment, I didn't know how to describe Jiang Ning.
Then Xue Yuantong stopped thinking about it.
"Let's watch a horror movie!" she said boldly, "I found a horror movie last time, but I couldn't bear to watch it."
Can't bear to watch it? Jiang Ning laughed in his heart. He remembered very clearly that Xue Yuantong secretly watched the movie on the bed. He was obviously scared to death and didn't dare to watch it.
Jiang Ning said it was no problem.
Xue Chuchu was worried: "I'm quite afraid of that."
Seeing her timid and delicate appearance, Xue Yuantong's vanity was satisfied, "It's okay, Chuchu, I will protect you."
In order to have a better viewing experience, Xue Yuantong drew the curtains, and the room immediately fell into darkness.
Xue Yuantong turned on the computer in the dark, played a movie, then quickly retreated to the sofa and pulled a blanket from the bed.
She had a great position on the sofa, surrounded by Chu Chu and Jiang Ning.
The sofa was not very big, and Xue Yuantong was small, so there was still a little space.
She hugged her blanket and watched a horror movie, with eerie sounds echoing in the room.
Jiang Ning’s desktop speakers are from a big foreign brand. A pair of speakers costs tens of thousands of dollars and has excellent sound quality, which makes it even more terrifying.
Following several classic horror scenes, Xue Yuantong was frightened half to death, and his calves were shaking.
She quietly looked at Chuchu beside her, expecting to see her sister's frightened expression, but Chuchu was holding her chin with her eyes full of admiration.
Xue Yuantong had a question mark in his mind, 'Didn't she say she was scared?'
She suppressed her fear and continued watching, her heart pounding. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xue Yuantong jumped up in shock. The door opened, and dazzling light shone into the room. Aunt Gu was standing at the door, surprised: "Jiang Ning, are you watching a movie?"
"Well, Tongtong wants to see it." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong said: "Jiang Ning, you continue to watch. I'm going home to drink some water."
Then she left with a word and ran away.
Jiang Ning knew she would not come back, so he simply turned off the player.
Xue Chuchu fell asleep on one side of the sofa.
Tongtong was scared to death, but she was sleeping. The difference between the two is really big.
The temperature in Jiang Ning's room was very low, so he simply covered Xue Chuchu with a blanket. Then, he sat in front of the computer desk and put away his keyboard and mouse.
He took out a pile of miscellaneous parts from the drawer, including ropes, ceramics, jade, copper sheets, silver blocks, as well as engraving knives, scissors and other tools.
He plans to make a keychain with the symbol of peace and happiness.
Jiang Ning made a cup of tea and started carving jade.
The afternoon is peaceful, the flowers and plants on the windowsill are blooming, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
When Xue Chuchu woke up, it was already two hours later.
She slowly opened her eyes, and her hazy vision gradually became clear. Abundant and bright sunlight crept into the room, shining on Jiang Ning, and his handsome face was tinged with a faint glow.
From Xue Chuchu's perspective, she could even see his black feather-like eyelashes, which made his clear eyes stand out.
It is quiet outside the window, the sun is shining, the tea is sweet, the books are fragrant, and the greenery is lush.
After a brief moment of confusion, Xue Chuchu suddenly realized something and grabbed the blanket covering her body.
Her plain white face turned slightly red, and she apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I fell asleep."
"I'm so sleepy, sorry."
Jiang Ning moved the chair and turned it 180 degrees: "It's okay, Tongtong often sleeps here."
Xue Chuchu is not Tongtong. She has only had a few contacts with Jiang Ning and their relationship is far from being very close. Now she actually fell asleep in someone else's house. It was too offensive.
She felt annoyed and could only say, "Then I'm leaving."
Having said that, he avoided Jiang Ning's warm gaze, hurried out of the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ning thought about it and reminded: "Leave the blanket behind first."
His voice was heard from far away.
Xue Chuchu paused and realized that she was still holding the small blanket in her hand.
She was terribly embarrassed and went back into the house in embarrassment.
…
Evening self-study.
After returning from the three-day holiday, the students' mentality has not yet adjusted, so in the first two classes, even if there was a teacher in charge, he did not teach, but just sat at the podium and let everyone study on their own.
Until the last class, squad leader Huang Zhongfei took over the management.
The final exams are approaching, and Huang Zhongfei wanted to remind everyone about the class divisions, but after consideration, he gave up.
Zhang Chi in the back row was playing with his broken phone: "Brother Gang, do you want to have barbecue tonight? I'll introduce someone to you."
When Duan Shigang heard this, he thought that Zhang Chi was indeed a man of loyalty and he had not misjudged him.
"Don't worry, I will be there in the evening." He likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life. "Who do you know? What taboos do I need to pay attention to?"
"Yan Tianpeng is the one eating at our table."
Originally, Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng had a falling out over selling routers. As the saying goes, a broken mirror can be mended, let alone a little unhappiness.
Ever since he knew that Yan Tianpeng had become a small trader and was making a lot of money, Zhang Chi took the initiative and reconciled with him.
Yan Tianpeng invited him to have a barbecue tonight.
Duan Shigang thought of Yan Tianpeng's giant figure and was satisfied, "Chi Zi, not bad."
Zhang Chi: "Tian Peng said, let's have a barbecue today!"
Duan Shigang was moved: "Good fellow, if you eat as much as you want, you will spend two hundred yuan, right?"
Zhang Chi: "He has money, don't be polite tonight."
While we were talking, the school bell rang.
Yan Tianpeng came to Class 8. He didn't mind the heat and put his arm around Zhang Chi's shoulders: "Good brother, thanks for helping me last time, I'll treat you tonight!"
Last week, Yan Tianpeng was selling small commodities and his business was booming.
As a result, a "colleague" who also sold small commodities appeared in Class 5. Fortunately, he used a little trick and with the help of Zhang Chi, the black knife, he ruined the other party's reputation and dominated the business from then on.
The price he paid was a barbecue.
Yan Tianpeng went straight to "Sister Ma's BBQ". Having been there for more than a year, they were considered old hands at No. 4 Middle School. Anyway, they knew that they would be fine if they chose this barbecue restaurant.
The summer nights hide the daytime heat and the air is filled with coolness.
There are seven or eight white plastic tables at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, which is quite bright under the high-wattage lights at the door.
At this time, nearly half of the guests were sitting at the plastic table.
"Brothers, today I said we will give you enough food!" Yan Tianpeng slapped the plastic table with his huge palm and almost broke it.
Zhang Chi said happily: "Brother Peng is so righteous!"
Yan Tianpeng shouted, "Waiter, serve some wine!"
Pei Yujing came over slowly, holding the menu, with a cold face without any expression:
"Hello, just draw the line for whatever you want, and call me when you're done."
She put down her menu and pencil and prepared to leave.
Pei Yujing never smiles and is not the kind of enthusiastic and friendly waiter, but her barbecue tastes outstanding, so there is a constant stream of customers.
Although it was a bit cold, the little girl's appearance was still pleasing to the eye.
As soon as the menu came out, Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng looked at it. There were a lot of dishes on it, and there was a special sign at the top:
'Mutton skewers, beef tendons, chicken gizzards, pork loins...'
Zhang Chi wanted to tick the boxes after seeing this.
Yan Tianpeng called out to the other party: "Is there anything that sells well?"
Pei Yujing said: "Mutton skewers, lamb legs, lamb chops..."
Yan Tianpeng: "Can you grill a hundred skewers of lamb?"
Pei Yujing: "Okay."
Yan Tianpeng: "How much is the lamb leg?"
Pei Yujing repeated the same words countless times: "We sell fresh lamb legs, 80 each, and they are roasted more slowly."
Yan Tianpeng: "Not bad, not bad."
“Do you have grilled fish?”
"There are small yellow croaker, grilled pomfret, and croaker."
Yan Tianpeng: "Not bad, not bad."
Seeing that he asked so many questions, Zhang Chi thought he was going to order them all, and his mood couldn't help but cheer up, "Brother Peng, that's enough."
Then I heard Yan Tianpeng say: "Three skewers of grilled steamed buns, three skewers of grilled rice cakes, three skewers of dried tofu, add more spicy sauce, and a large bottle of Binglu purified water."
After ordering, he said righteously: "Brothers, eat and drink tonight!"
Pei Yujing: “…Okay.”
After she left, Zhang Chi was confused, "Yan Tianpeng, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Tianpeng: "Are you not full? I'll give you another skewer of toasted buns."
Zhang Chi was annoyed. Damn it, he thought he had changed, but it turned out he was still this stupid.
However, no matter how simple it is, at least you can still taste the barbecue flavor. Zhang Chi’s biggest advantage is that he is not picky about food.
As for Duan Shigang next to him, although he was a little unhappy, he had been working for a long time before. He would eat whatever others ordered.
Several tables of people came over one after another. There was a fat man who was very impressive. He brought two women with him, hugged them on both sides, and asked with a chuckle:
"Girl, what's something suitable for a man to eat?"
Pei Yujing said expressionlessly: "Oysters, leeks, and lamb whip."
When the fat man heard this, he laughed out loud: "What is a sheep whip?"
The kebab 'Sister Ma' yelled angrily: "Get lost!"
The middle-aged man was not annoyed at all. He was an old customer and liked to talk, but he would not dare to go any further.
Cao Kun from Class 5 of Grade 1, Meng Ziyun from Class 5, and another female classmate sat down.
Cao Kun wiped the plastic table with paper and said, "Let's eat here. I've been here several times and it tastes great."
The female student shouted: "Waiter, come here."
Pei Yujing came over.
"Aren't you from Shift 3?" It was the first time Meng Ziyun saw her working as a waitress.
Pei Yujing didn't know how to answer, so she didn't answer. She put the menu down and turned away.
Then another girl, Tang Jing, muttered, "So arrogant?"
Cao Kun selected a few dishes and asked the two women to select. After everything was selected, he called Pei Yujing over.
While waiting for the barbecue, Pei Yujing brought a plate of spiced peanuts and served drinks first.
Cao Kun ate peanuts and talked about the class division: "Class 5 is hopeless. We will think about which class to go to in the second year of high school."
He stared at Meng Ziyun, waiting for her answer.
Tang Jing next to him said, "Oh, is our living committee member planning to run away?"
Cao Kun looked calm: "Since ancient times, only the elites have been qualified to seek a way out."
