Jiang Ning followed her gaze and saw a milk tea shop opposite the station, with several people lined up at the door.
In 2013, domestic milk tea shops were far from reaching the level of proliferation in later generations. In a few years, the milk tea shops opposite the train station will also close down under the impact of various Internet celebrity franchise stores.
At this time, a cup of milk tea costs three or four yuan, which is about the same price as Coke. With Jiang Ning's pocket money, she can still afford it.
If it were before, he would definitely buy it for Shen Qing'e. He has always been generous to Shen Qing'e.
"Drink some water if you're thirsty." Jiang Ning said in a normal tone.
Shen Qing'e: "Jiang Ning, are you in a bad mood?"
The girl was thoughtful and noticed the changes in Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning used to ask for everything from her, but after taking a train, Jiang Ning seemed to be a different person.
"Yeah." Jiang Ning had no intention of talking to her.
Now that he had to do it again, what he was thinking about was how to spend this life.
You still have to continue studying, otherwise your parents will be in a lot of trouble if you suddenly stop studying.
Jiang Ning also wanted to experience the carefree student days again.
When he graduated from college and entered the society, he was buried in a busy job and endured all kinds of hypocrisy day after day. He dreamed of being a teenager countless times.
Live a good life and live up to your past.
To live a decent life in modern society, money is essential. With money, he can live a better life by moving away from his uncle's house. In this life, he will never be dependent on others or be looked down upon by others.
"Qing'e, Qing'e."
Distant sounds reached Jiang Ning's ears.
Across the road, a woman in her mid-twenties stood in front of the car and waved to the two of them. She was her cousin's wife.
"Sister." Shen Qing'e forgot her unhappiness just now, put a sweet smile on her face, and carried the box across the zebra crossing.
"Hey, if your brother-in-law hadn't been too busy these days, I would have asked him to drive to the town to pick you up." The cousin-in-law held Shen Qing'e's hand and spoke affectionately.
Then she moved her gaze and looked at Jiang Ning:
"You are Jiang Ning, right?"
"Well, hello, cousin." Jiang Ning nodded, still smiling slightly.
In his previous life, when he stayed at his uncle's house, his cousin-in-law didn't welcome him, and even disliked him. But he didn't notice it at first, but now that he had lived through it all over again, he already knew it.
"Get in the car quickly."
After putting the suitcase away, Jiang Ning sat in the back seat.
When the car started, there were not many vehicles along the way. Today's urban traffic jam in Yuzhou City is far less serious than in later generations.
My cousin's sister-in-law just got her driver's license this year. While driving, she chatted with Shen Qing'e in the passenger seat. She got excited and laughed from time to time.
Jiang Ning, who was sitting in the back seat, silently fastened her seat belt.
He used to be an immortal cultivator, but that was in the past. Now he is still a mortal body. If he was killed in a car accident, he would be very happy.
Jiang Ning remembered clearly that next year her cousin's sister-in-law hit someone with her car and fractured her bones. She was fully responsible for the accident and was compensated 180,000 yuan.
Despite this, Jiang Ning did not remind her cousin-in-law to be careful when driving, as this would only increase the evil feeling.
Ten minutes later, the car drove into a mid-to-high-end residential area.
The cousin-in-law parked the car in the underground garage and led the two of them to take the elevator straight to the ninth floor.
The uncle's family's house is a large flat floor, 180 square meters, with five bedrooms and two living rooms. It still looks spacious when the whole family lives together.
My uncle opened a restaurant in the city. It is not large in scale. It has been open for fifteen years. It is a well-known old restaurant and is usually visited by many regular customers.
Business has been good in recent years, with an income of 30,000 to 400,000 yuan a year. This large flat is only the hotel's profit in more than two years.
Housing prices in Yuzhou City will not start to skyrocket until 2017. Now the price of this house will rise from 5,000 to 8,000 within a year, and then all the way to over 10,000.
"Qing'e and Jiang Ning are here, come in quickly." The aunt stood at the door and took out two pairs of slippers and handed them over.
Jiang Ning put on her shoes and walked through the door on the wooden floor.
The decoration inside the house tends to be Chinese style. My uncle has never been to school and likes to combine Chinese and Western styles. He used an old-fashioned decoration plan. There is also a very fancy Chinese-European headlight hanging on the ceiling, which highlights a unique aesthetic.
"Put your luggage here, I'll show you the room." Auntie led the two of them, "If you need anything, just tell me and I'll take you to buy it."
At this time, Jiang Ning spoke: "Auntie, don't bother me. I plan to rent a house nearby so that I can read books."
As soon as these words came out, the aunt was stunned. When her husband agreed to let Jiang Ning move in, she was very unhappy.
Poor relatives from the countryside can help, but is it fair to let people live in their homes directly for three years?
But her husband had already agreed, and she was annoyed, but she couldn't go back on her promise to save her face.
Now Jiang Ning took the initiative and couldn't help it anymore, she was surprised.
"Reading, you can do it at my house!" she discouraged.
Jiang Ning still insisted: "No, I'll call my parents later to confirm this matter. It happens to be a few days before school starts, so I'll take advantage of these few days to find a house."
Jiang Ning spoke clearly and logically, but her aunt did not try to persuade her again. She was afraid that if Jiang Ning changed her mind, she would be the unlucky one.
"Well, you can call your parents to discuss it first. The room at home will be reserved for you at any time."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded.
After this experience, the aunt's attitude became much more enthusiastic. She peeled fruits and asked for help in the same way. Jiang Ning was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm.
After taking some time, Jiang Ning went out.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. The 3.5-inch screen showed five o'clock in the afternoon.
The homepage of the screen has several game icons, including Temple Run, Fruit Slicing, Crocodile Bath, and Aenodia 3.
Touching the smartphone, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
This is a copycat phone. When I was in the third grade of junior high school, my father bought it for 300 yuan in a business hall. Although it was cheap and cheap, it carried many memories for him.
Even if he later got paid from work and bought the latest fruit phone, it was only a novelty for a week.
He called his mother.
Jiang Ning's key point came out as soon as she spoke: "Mom, I want to rent a house next to No. 4 Middle School."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then a gentle voice came:
"What's wrong, son, are you not used to living at your uncle's house?"
After hundreds of years, Jiang Ning felt really different when hearing her mother's voice again.
He took two deep breaths, calmed down, and said:
"Mom, my uncle's family is very nice, but the two families are far away from each other. Anyway, they are a bit different. If they live together in the future and have different living habits, there may be conflicts, and it will be difficult for the uncle to deal with it.
So, I want to rent a house by myself and just go to my uncle’s house often. Isn’t that the case with relatives? Many of my former classmates rented houses outside when they were in high school. When it comes to eating, I usually stay in
The school has a cafeteria, and on Saturdays and Sundays, you cook your own meals.”
In Jiang Ning's heart, his mother Dong Yun was very gentle to him. She had never hit him since he was a child, and she would listen carefully to what he said.
"Son, when you grow up, you have an idea. It's okay for you to say so. Mom believes in you."
"Let me tell you about your father, you should take care of your health, eat well, and don't be competitive. When you rent a house, I will call your uncle later."
Her mother took the trouble to give many instructions. Listening to her voice, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel irritated. Instead, she chatted with her. After a few minutes, she hung up the phone.
Not long after, a text message was sent: Dear Jiang Ning, 2,000 yuan was transferred to your savings account with the last number XXXX, and the balance is 2,200 yuan.
"Son, check more when renting a house. If the money is not enough, I will transfer it to you."
"Okay, I remember." Jiang Ning closed the screen and put a smile on her lips.
It's great that my parents are in good health and I am still young.
