Saturday.
Xue Yuantong was so angry at Jiang Ning last night that he rolled around on the bed. Later, he was too tired to stay up all night and went to bed "early".
Compared to her previous stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning, going to bed at 12 o'clock is indeed considered early.
In order to avoid cooking this morning and to take revenge on Jiang Ning, she made a private agreement with Chu Chu to have breakfast together.
7 o'clock sharp.
Xue Yuantong was awakened by the alarm clock on time. With great willpower, she got out of her comfortable bed.
Pushing open the door, she simply washed her face, brushed her teeth, and ran next door to find Chuchu.
In the early morning, the air is fresh. The elderly people living in a row of bungalows wake up early. They hold their bowls and pots and sit at the doorstep to eat and chat.
The old man threw out a bone, and the little yellow dog swooped out and bit it, just like the dog biting the Frisbee on TV.
The door of Xue Chuchu's house was ajar.
Aunt Hua went out to the company in the morning. Although it was Saturday, Aunt Hua had been working very hard recently in order to pay off the debt owed by her relatives for buying a house as soon as possible. She only had one day off a month.
Aunt Hua has worked in a factory and in a restaurant. She is used to doing physical labor, so having one day off a month is not that hard for her.
Xue Chuchu didn't have class today. She was beating eggs into a spoon with a light and graceful movement.
Seeing Tongtong coming, she said softly, "It will be ready soon. I was going to call you."
Her hair was wet, her skin was clear and translucent, and her cheeks had an attractive blush. She had just taken a shower.
Xue Chuchu held the spoon and let the boiling water scald the spoon. After a while, the egg solidified and she poured the poached egg into the pot.
Breakfast was still vegetable and egg noodles. Considering that there was more than one person, Xue Chuchu also fried a plate of lotus root.
She was busy, but Xue Yuantong was not idle either. She dragged the table with great effort. The temperature was cool in the morning, and eating in the small courtyard was closer to nature.
When moving the table, she was thinking how nice it would be if Jiang Ning was there. Even if she was sitting on the table, Jiang Ning could move it easily.
Unfortunately, he angered himself yesterday.
Xue Yuantong left him without food today to demonstrate her supreme authority.
After setting up the table, Xue Yuantong moved two small stools.
Chuchu noodles are cooked.
…
A figure appeared at the gate, Jiang Ning, looking leisurely.
When Xue Yuantong saw him, he immediately asked, "How dare you come to dinner after making a mistake last night!"
Jiang Ning: "Why do you dare to go to school if you haven't done your homework?"
Xue Yuantong snorted, "Because I got full marks."
Jiang Ning: "Because Chuchu cooked for me."
Xue Yuantong was shocked when she heard this. She quickly looked towards Chuchu in the kitchen, unable to believe it:
"Chu Chu, did you cook for him?"
Her tone was flustered. She had finally found a way to punish Jiang Ning, but had it failed
Xue Chuchu hesitated for a moment. She had already agreed after Tongtong came to her last night.
However, before going to bed, Jiang Ning sent her a message, asking her to make one more portion.
Xue Chuchu had received Jiang Ning's favor and had eaten the fish and crabs caught by him. Even the jade pendant hanging around her neck was given by Tongtong from him.
She owed him too many favors, and now that he was making a request for the first time, how could she refuse
A hint of apology appeared in her clear eyes as she explained, "The meal is already prepared, so it won't be a big hassle to have one more person."
Xue Yuantong glared at Jiang Ning. She guessed that it must be Jiang Ning who threatened Chu Chu. How despicable.
Soon, the table was set with dishes such as vegetable and egg noodles, stir-fried lotus root, and Chuchu's homemade diced chicken with melon seeds and beans in soy sauce.
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of lotus root, which was stir-fried with green and red peppers. It was crisp and refreshing to eat early in the morning.
Chuchu’s cooking skills are much weaker than Tongtong’s, but compared with ordinary people, they are still slightly better.
While eating, before the noodles in the bowl were touched, Chuchu got up and went to the kitchen to get some sesame oil and uncorked the bottle:
"Who wants it?"
Jiang Ning: "I'll do it myself."
Aunt Hua brought some sesame oil from her hometown. When you pour a little bit of it on the noodles, they taste especially delicious.
In the past, every time Jiang Ning cooked instant noodles, he would pour some of it on it to greatly enhance the flavor of the noodles.
He took the bottle of sesame oil and poured some into Tongtong's bowl. Suddenly, a rich fragrance wafted out.
Xue Yuantong sat at the table sullenly. He had disliked Jiang Ning for a long time. He had tricked her into giving him fruit last night. She trusted him so much, but she was fooled by him repeatedly.
He threatened Chuchu again this morning and forced Chuchu to cook.
He has been becoming more and more disobedient recently. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll get into big trouble.
How will she be in charge of the family in the future
She would let Jiang Ning know now who owns Heba!
Xue Yuantong first shook his nose and secretly took a deep breath of the sesame oil. It was so fragrant.
Then he questioned, "You didn't even ask me if I like sesame oil before you just put it there!"
Jiang Ning held up the sesame oil bottle and paused for a moment. The two had been eating together for nearly a year and knew each other's tastes quite well.
Jiang Ning knew very well whether she liked sesame oil or not.
Convinced that she was deliberately picking a fight, Jiang Ning calmly put down the scented oil bottle:
"It doesn't matter."
Xue Yuantong refused to give in, and finally got the chance. She immediately said, "Huh, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Before she could finish her words, she saw Jiang Ning changed her bowl.
Jiang Ning got the bowl of egg noodles with sesame oil.
Jiang Ning took a bite and praised: "It is indeed fragrant with sesame oil, and the noodles are smoother."
Xue Yuantong lowered her head and saw the bowl in front of her, which was empty of sesame oil. She wanted to cry but had no tears.
She really wanted to add some fragrant oil, but if she said it out loud, wouldn't that be slapping herself in the face
Xue Chuchu, who was at the dinner table, found it amusing to see the two people fighting with each other.
She likes it very much, unlike before, when she would eat alone at home after her mother went to work.
…
After breakfast, it was not yet 8 o'clock.
Xue Yuantong helped wash the dishes. As always, she would never eat or drink for free.
Chuchu walked outside for a while and came back to her room to study.
Xue Yuantong was still angry with Jiang Ning, and she decided not to talk to Jiang Ning for half an hour.
She didn't go to Jiang Ning's room to play games, but chose to watch TV at home.
She likes to hold her tablet and let the TV play while watching TV.
If it's raining outside, having snacks on hand is probably the most comfortable moment.
Unfortunately, it wasn't raining and the tablet belonged to Jiang Ning, so she pushed it aside with disgust.
She curled up on the sofa, hugged her knees, and watched TV attentively.
Two shopping guides were introducing weight loss pills on TV, claiming they could help you lose weight and reshape your body, had no side effects, and would never rebound, and they boasted about them to the sky.
It used to sell for 2,999 yuan, but now a course of treatment only costs 899 yuan. The shopping guides desperately induce customers to place orders, putting on a countdown and requiring them to call during that time. Once the time is up, the price will return to the original price immediately.
Xue Yuantong's eyes were sparkling. She touched her belly, which was flat and soft. She didn't need any diet pills at all.
That’s great, I saved 899 yuan by doing nothing!
An hour later, she didn't feel bored at all. Sometimes she giggled, her little face was full of smiles, and she looked carefree.
When Jiang Ning entered the room, Xue Yuantong was still smiling. But when he noticed him coming, he immediately frowned.
"Would you like to go play in the city?" Jiang Ning said, "I'll take you to play roller skating."
Xue Yuantong thought about the fun of roller skating and felt excited, but also hesitant.
"After playing roller skating, we have delicious food and don't cook at noon," said Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong was even more excited. He counted the change in his mind to make sure there was enough in his small wallet.
Mom has been well off lately, so Xue Yuantong has a lot of pocket money, and there are also rewards for school exams.
"My name is Chuchu." Xue Yuantong said.
"Isn't she studying? Is she willing to go?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Yuantong: "I have a solution."
As she said that, she went to Chuchu's house alone. A few minutes later, Xue Chuchu followed her out.
…
Downtown, Phase 1 of Lanma Shopping Mall.
In the huge hollow circular shopping mall, Jiang Ning walked on the smooth white marble floor.
He was followed by two girls, one big and one small.
Especially Xue Chuchu, who was in her prime, had an outstanding appearance, which attracted the attention of men and women passing by.
About ten meters away, several boys in their teens gathered together. One of them had dyed blond hair. He glanced over here from time to time and talked in a low voice.
With Jiang Ning's hearing ability, he could hear clearly that they were planning to come over and ask for Xue Chuchu's contact information.
Jiang Ning didn't think so. If Xue Chuchu went out to play alone, it might be a bit troublesome, but with him around, there was nothing to worry about.
They first strolled around the first floor, and then went to the jewelry store on the second floor. Xue Yuantong saw two nice hairpins that cost nearly 20 yuan. She searched on Taobao and found the same ones for only a few yuan.
After visiting the second floor, continue to the third floor, where there are many entertainment areas and various tutoring classes.
Xue Yuantong stood outside the French window, looking at a group of boys in martial arts uniforms in the room. They were lined up in an orderly manner, kicking and punching with great vigor, making "ha" sounds from their mouths, looking very domineering.
Xue Yuantong watched for a while, and suddenly thought of Jiang Ning beside her. She asked:
"Are their martial arts skills strong?"
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu also looked over.
The last time they moved, Jiang Ning kicked that crazy man away. She remembered it clearly.
The mad man was particularly fierce when he beat his wife. Someone once stepped forward to stop him, but was beaten by the mad man.
Later, recalling how Jiang Ning had taken action to settle the matter, she seriously suspected that Jiang Ning might have practiced martial arts, otherwise he would not have been able to do it so easily.
Jiang Ning commented: "It's better than ordinary people, but not amazing."
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong's hopes were dashed. Her fantasy of mastering martial arts and bullying Jiang Ning suddenly collapsed.
I can't help feeling a little unhappy.
Xue Chuchu thought in her heart. She was not as ignorant as Tongtong. After thinking for a few seconds, she asked:
"Jiang Ning, what martial arts did you learn?"
"I haven't practiced it, I just have a lot of strength." Jiang Ning replied.
Xue Chuchu had no choice but to believe it. After all the contact they had during this period, she thought Jiang Ning would not lie.
Passing by the Taekwondo hall and going a little further, there is a dance studio where many little girls in black dance costumes show off their graceful figures with their tender bodies.
Xue Yuantong watched for a while, then looked at Chuchu again, and concluded: "You will look great dancing!"
Xue Chuchu said implicitly: "Forget it."
She doesn't have good conditions to learn dance, and it's very expensive to take classes.
…
After walking around for a long time, I finally arrived at the ice skating rink. Neon lights illuminated the wide skating rink. There were about ten people skating in the rink, and half of them were acquaintances.
Wang Longlong, Ma Shicheng, Meng Gui.
Cui Yu walked with graceful steps, chasing a girl with long flowing hair and skating hard.
Xu Yan in front did not slow down, but made a beautiful big turn, drawing a graceful curve.
Cui Yu wanted to conquer the wild horse and also did not slow down. However, the difficulty was too high and he flew directly into the fence and fell off his horse.
Xue Yuantong saw this scene through the glass wall and her eyes shrank in fear. It was too horrible!
Jiang Ning was not surprised to meet them here, as Meng Gui and his friends liked to play roller skating here.
The main reason is that the proprietress is young and beautiful, and for high school students, roller skating is not expensive compared to other sports.
Jiang Ning spent 25 yuan and bought three pairs of roller skates.
Ma Shicheng and others noticed the movement at the front desk, slid over here and greeted them.
There are two types of roller skates: double-row and single-row
Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu had never played roller skating before. According to her intuition, roller skating was easier.
After putting on her shoes, Jiang Ning asked her, "Can you skate?"
Xue Yuantong said conservatively: "Not really."
Jiang Ning taught her how to skate step by step. At the beginning, Xue Yuantong was so scared that she didn't dare to let go for fear of falling.
Whether it hurts or not is one thing, but the main thing is the fear of being embarrassed.
Xue Chuchu on the other side had no one to help her. She held on to the railing, carefully walking as if she were treading on thin ice. Xu Yan, who was in the distance, was an expert in roller skating. When she skated over here, she saw how beautiful Xue Chuchu was.
Xu Yan had served as a class monitor and was good at socializing. She said generously, "You've never played it before, I'll teach you."
Xu Yan smiles brightly and is friendly, which makes people feel good about her.
Seeing that she was very enthusiastic, Xue Chuchu hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Seeing Xu Yan had gone to help someone, Cui Yu slid to the edge and found a stool to sit down and rest.
Wang Longlong said, "Brother Cui, what's wrong with you? She is the woman who broke my brother Nan's heart."
Cui Yu: "You don't understand, I'm trying to get back the face for Brother Nan."
Meng Gui: "The way to get back at the throne is to chase her?"
“Of course, wherever my brother Nan falls, I will stand up for him!” Cui Yu boasted, with the glory of righteousness on his face at this moment.
Ten minutes later, a few children came to the roller skating rink. Xue Yuantong felt embarrassed when he saw that the children were skating like fish in water without anyone helping them.
She held onto the railing and said solemnly, "Actually, I can skate."
Jiang Ning went with her. Without the burden of his little follower, he was able to exert a little bit of his strength. His strong coordination allowed him to try out some fancy techniques.
He increased his speed and crossed half of the roller skating rink in a flash.
Then, Jiang Ning spun his legs, changed direction and skated backwards, and his roller skates drew a handsome big arc circle, and finally stopped coolly.
Xue Yuantong held onto the railing, staring.
When Xu Yan saw this, she was quite surprised. She knew how to brake in this way, but the difference was that Jiang Ning was going very fast just now, which was quite dangerous.
She would only dare to try it if she was in particularly good condition.
Jiang Ning played until almost noon. During that time, he went out to buy a few cups of iced fruit tea and shared them with Ma Shicheng, Cui Yu and others. He did not forget that several people stood up to cheer him on at the last small temple fair.
Xu Yan also got a cup, after all, he taught Xue Chuchu for a long time.
After Jiang Ning led the two girls to leave the skating rink, Ma Shicheng suggested: "It's time to leave. Let's have clay pot chicken for lunch."
Wang Longlong and Meng Gui had no objection, but Cui Yu said, "Wait for me."
He pulled Meng Gui over and discussed with him: "Brother Gui, please help me get a QQ number."
Meng Gui: "Why don't you go?"
Cui Yu is self-aware: "She doesn't have a good impression of me. I will definitely be rejected if I go up to her."
Meng Gui and Cui Yu have a deep friendship, so he agreed to his good brother's request. After all, it wasn't him who wanted the QQ, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
He found Xu Yan, who was honing her skills on roller skates.
When Xu Yan saw that Meng Gui had a strange hairstyle and did not look like a serious person, and she did not know him, she was about to refuse.
Meng Gui said seriously, "My friend has set up a group for freshmen at No. 4 Middle School. There are many freshmen asking questions and we are too busy to handle it. I heard that you are good at management. Why don't you join the group and I will give you an administrator position."
After hearing this, Xu Yan's attitude softened.
Meng Gui drew two more cakes, and Xu Yan gave it a try and told her her QQ number.
Meng Gui felt his pocket and found that he had forgotten his cell phone at the front desk. He was afraid of breaking the phone while roller skating.
If he went back to get it now, it would be too embarrassing. Meng Gui didn't want to do that. He thought of a good idea, and he could also show his intelligence:
"Just report it to me and I'll add you when I get back."
Xu Yan read out a string of numbers.
Meng Gui repeated it silently twice in his mind and felt confident.
He rolled on his roller skates all the way to the front desk.
As soon as I took out my cell phone, damn, what’s Xu Yan’s QQ number
…I can’t remember it no matter how hard I try.
Cui Yu asked, "Is it coming soon?"
Meng Gui was very embarrassed. He said awkwardly, "Xu Yan thinks I am in the same group with you, so he won't give it to me."
