Mainly because Xue Yuantong was busy, Jiang Ning occasionally helped. When the last dish was served, 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 smell and could only watch it without getting close to him because Jiang Ning thought it was in the way and used magic to restrain it in advance.
The dog could only smell the smell and was in a state of ecstasy.
Xue Yuantong picked up half a piece of crab and took a bite of the crab roe. The plump, crispy and soft texture almost made her cry.
Looking at the crab roe again, under the sunlight, it shows 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 Jiang Ning caught from Huqi Mountain were not very big, but they were strong and had a lot of roe, so they could take a big bite.
Compared with Xue Yuantong's indulgence, Xue Chuchu was much more conservative. She used kuai to pick up a piece of lettuce as a side dish of crab.
The lettuce was stained with the unique fragrance of crab, which was refreshing and crispy to the bite. Xue Chuchu was very satisfied.
Xue Yuantong killed half of the crab roe. When he saw her eating vegetarian dishes, he urged: "What are you waiting for? Eat the crab!"
Xue Chuchu smiled reservedly. Even when faced with crabs raised by spiritual energy, her good education and perseverance still allowed her to maintain restraint.
Jiang Ning finally understood that it was not enough for Xue Yuantong to eat crabs. She would not be willing to move again until she herself ate crabs.
This is... so traditional.
However, Xue Yuantong didn't care, took a piece of crab and gave it to Chu Chu's bowl.
Xue Chuchu was helpless.
…
Meanwhile, downtown.
Shen Qing'e was writing test papers in her room. She came from a small town, and it was a small town with backward education. Her grades were not outstanding in the town at first, and were not as good as Jiang Ning's.
At that time, whenever she encountered a topic she didn't know, Jiang Ning would often explain it to her.
After arriving at No. 4 Middle School, she became more aware of the differences with her classmates, so she studied very hard. In addition to occasionally going out to play on weekends, she spent most of her time memorizing and answering questions.
If she encounters a question she doesn't understand at school, she takes the initiative to ask the monitor and Dong Qingfeng for explanation.
If you are 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 results are now among the top 15 in Class 8, which is so strong.
In contrast, Jiang Junlong next door seldom did questions and often played games with the door closed. For this reason, he and his aunt had several quarrels over locking the door.
At this time, there was a movement outside the door.
Shen Qing'e glanced at the alarm clock on her desk, it was half past eleven.
She put her pen on the test paper, got up and left the bedroom.
As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw several figures, first her uncle, followed by two strangers, one a bald middle-aged man, and the other a girl about her age.
Facing her peers, Shen Qing'e took a second look. The girl was wearing a brand-name dress, Adidas shoes, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and a strand of hair hung down from each ear, falling on her delicate face, adding a bit of beauty.
There is just a hint of arrogance in her eyebrows, or a sense of indifference, which is a temperament rarely seen in Shen Qing'e.
Uncle Jiang Qitian said in a loud voice: "Brother Yao, sit down, sit down!"
He held out his general belly and greeted the bald man next to him.
Jiang Junlong was watching TV on the sofa. When he heard this, he hurried to the refrigerator, took three ice cream sticks, and distributed them to Shen Qing'e and the new girl.
Jiang Junlong benefited from the influence of his family and became more skilled in life.
Shen Qing'e smiled at the girl and expressed her welcome.
After the aunt came over, Jiang Qitian said: "Open the bottle of wine in the warehouse. Brother Yao and I will drink two cups today."
The uncle runs a restaurant and has a wide range of friends. Occasionally guests come to the house, and once he can take them to his house, 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 to a table of food: "It's a pity that the little green dragon I asked someone to purchase hasn't been delivered yet, otherwise I could have tasted it today."
The middle-aged man surnamed Yao was very polite and immediately smiled: "Hey, what are you spending money on? It's your turn!"
The two drank and chatted happily, and during the conversation, Shen Qing'e roughly understood what happened.
Uncle Yao is an engineer. He is very well-run in Yuzhou, and his work is very good, with guaranteed quality.
Evergreen Liquid has been expanding recently, and the company has acquired a piece of land in Yuzhou, which is said to be hundreds of acres!
All these lands were used to build the headquarters park of Changqing Ye. After hearing this, the official leaders of Yuzhou quickly gave this land to Changqing Ye, with full discounts in all aspects.
Before, they were worried about Changqingye moving away, but now they are finally relieved.
Uncle Yao was eager to get a share of the construction of such a large park. Then his uncle Jiang Qitian contacted Jiang Ning's parents and tentatively mentioned it in the company's remote meeting. As a result, Uncle Yao actually got some scraps from the project.
.
Everyone knows how wealthy Changqingye is. Even a few scraps are worth millions in profit, almost enough to support Uncle Yao's engineering team.
For accepting such a great favor, Uncle Yao was so grateful that he couldn't help but be in the same boat as Jiang Qitian.
When his uncle Jiang Qitian was drinking with brother Yao, he was still shocked. He just called his brother in Wencheng with the attitude of giving it a try, and it turned out to be true.
Only then did he understand a little bit how terrifying the power of Changqingye's executives must be.
Auntie picked up the watermelon and said to him: "Ningning came this morning and brought a melon, which happened to be cut."
Jiang Junlong stood up and took the knife: "Mom, I'll cut it, I'll cut it."
He still remembers the taste of that melon.
After hearing this, uncle Jiang Qitian said to brother Yao next to him: "You are in luck today with the melon that my nephew brought. Try this melon. I guarantee that you will never forget it after eating it."
Uncle Yao didn't care. How delicious can a melon be?
His daughter Yao Yiyao had the same idea. In fact, she didn't want to come today because she made an appointment with her classmates to go to a newly opened hotpot restaurant in the city. However, her father insisted on bringing her over, saying that the children of the two families would get to know each other better and the relationship would become closer in the future.
.
So much so that Yao Yiyao resisted in her heart, "You are just doing business, what does it have to do with me?"
Besides, she never thought that the quality of the Changqing Liquid project that her father obtained through his connections was well-known in Yuzhou, and she would definitely be able to obtain it based on his strength.
So she has been reluctant.
Jiang Junlong doesn't know how to use a knife and cuts melons very slowly.
The uncle chatted casually: "My nephew is amazing. He is tall, handsome, and sensible. He is currently studying in No. 4 Middle School."
Yao Yiyao followed up and pointed out the level of No. 4 Middle School: "No. 4 Middle School is very good. Among the high schools in our city, it ranks among the top ten."
Shen Qing'e: "Which high school are you from?"
Yao Yiyao: "Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School."
If the No. 2 Middle School is the elite of Yuzhou, then in comparison, the No. 4 Middle School seems to be third-rate.
The No. 2 Middle School mostly looked down on other schools, and the arrogance in Yao Yiyao's expression became even stronger.
Shen Qing'e took a bite of her food and said, "It's really amazing. I can go to No. 2 Middle School."
Yao Yiyao felt a little overwhelmed when she was praised like this: "I think it's okay. As long as you study hard for the high school entrance exam, you can go to the second middle school casually. All the classmates around me said so."
The uncle was a human being, so he felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he didn't argue with the little girl.
Uncle Yao gave his daughter a wink.
Yao Yiyao has been accustomed to being arrogant since she was a child. She had resentment in her heart. How could she listen to her father's words?
Jiang Junlong came with a melon and gave two slices to the guests first, and then shared them with the family.
Shen Qing'e suddenly asked: "Jun Long, is Yaoyao from your experimental class?"
Hearing this, Jiang Junlong looked at Yao Yiyao carefully.
"Isn't it?" 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 was compared to others, and her expression suddenly became dull. Her identity as a second middle school student has always been her pride.
Jiang Junlong noticed that the girl's color was not right. He thought about it and said with relief:
"The experimental class of No. 2 Middle School is nothing. We went to Jiangnan last week to study. Our experimental class is not qualified at all. Only the Qingbei class can go."
"Isn't the Qingbei class good? But my cousin is in the No. 4 Middle School, and the city's unified examination scores are better than the Qingbei class. His neighbor is also in the No. 4 middle school, and he is directly first in the city, so I tell you, the ordinary class is nothing, you can't tell.
It’s better than what our experimental class did.”
Jiang Junlong made some heart-warming remarks for the sake of his father's business partner's daughter.
After he finished speaking, his mouth was a little dry and he shouted: "Eat melon, eat melon, my cousin's melon tastes amazing!"
Shen Qing'e saw Yao Yiyao's face darkening and smiled to herself, how proud does a regular class in No. 2 Middle School look like?
Can't cure you?
Jiang Qitian took a bite of the melon. It tasted the same as last time. It was crispy and sweet. He felt comfortable after taking one bite. He was like when he was a child and went to the neighboring village to steal melons, was chased by the owner for two miles, and finally enjoyed the fruits of victory with exhaustion.
that kind of happiness.
Before Jiang Qitian could open his mouth, he heard Uncle Yao shouting next to him: "What a melon, what a melon!"
After saying that, he ate it all in a few mouthfuls.
The aunt was extremely heartbroken and gave him another piece.
Yao Yiyao felt depressed. She didn't want to eat the melon at first, but when she saw that everyone was eating it deliciously, she couldn't help but take a bite.
This bite even made her forget her previous unhappiness, which was better than all the fruits she had eaten since childhood.
The watermelon is not that big, not to mention that there are 8 people at the table. Soon, everyone has finished carving it up.
Uncle Jiang Qitian still had more to say: "I have to ask Ning Ning to bring some next time. This guy lied to me last time and said he bought it on the roadside. Why did he buy it again this time?"
The aunt said: "He said he bought it from a classmate's house in the morning."
Shen Qing'e suddenly said: "Next time I might say he planted it himself."
Yao Yiyao ate later than others, and in the end she only had one piece. She missed the sweetness: "Dad, let's buy some."
Uncle Yao also had the same intention, so he proposed it to Jiang Qitian.
Jiang Qitian didn't have any melons yet. He glanced at the other party's bald head and said, "Brother Yao, I'm not telling you. This project of taking over Evergreen Liquid means you can't be bald anymore."
Uncle Yao rubbed his head and showed a wry smile: "Okay, I will buy two bottles tomorrow."
Jiang Qitian said to his aunt: "The Xiaoqinglong I ordered will arrive next time. Please save more and ask Ningning to come to our house to eat. This is a good thing."
Aunt: "He may not be willing to stay for dinner."
Jiang Qitian: "Give it to him and he won't burn."
Cousin Jiang Junlong: "That's not necessarily true. His neighbor's cooking is always delicious."
Shen Qing'e felt the same way. Although she didn't like that little girl Xue Yuantong, she was very good at cooking.
…
River dam.
The meal lasted from 11:30 to 1:00 in the afternoon. For a full hour and a half, Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu, who let go of their reserve, worked together to eliminate five and a half crabs and more than half of the watermelon.
Xue Yuantong lay on a stool, leaning against the door, temporarily losing the ability to move.
Xue Chuchu was okay and could still clear the table, but Jiang Ning stopped her: "I'll do it."
"Jiang Ning, I also want to study." Xue Yuantong imagined.
At the dinner table, she listened to Chu Chu talk about her experience of studying in the south of the Yangtze River. She saw bluestone streets, ancient alleys, galleries, and took a cruise to the island in the middle of the lake, where she saw the culture, history, mountains and rivers of Hui Province.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "No. 4 Middle School is very rich now. You and your class teacher suggest giving it a try."
Xue Yuantong immediately flinched, his eyes evasive: "Let's talk about it later."
…
Sunday afternoon, in Jiang Ning’s house.
Xue Yuantong was playing a game: "Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, a big supermarket has opened near our school, why don't we take a look?"
Just now she was in the class group watching her classmates discussing and yelling about going to the supermarket together.
Jiang Ning: "Do you want to go?"
"Think." Xue Yuantong calculated how much pocket money she had left.
"Okay, let's go and make breakfast in the afternoon."
Jiang Ning also likes to go to the supermarket, especially when she is not short of money.
…
The lights in the supermarket are bright, the snack area is lined with shelves on both sides filled with a dazzling array of snack packages for reference only.
The air conditioner is so cool that it even makes you feel chilly.
Shan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan walked among them, looking at various snacks, potato chips, dried fruits, braised meat, chocolate, and bread.
Shan Kaiquan originally wanted to carry the basket, but couldn't find it, so he had to push the shopping cart.
Guo Kunnan looked at the snacks on the shelf and searched Taobao on his mobile phone. He pointed at the box of biscuits and was shocked: "It's so dark. The same thing, Taobao has free shipping at 21, but here it costs 26."
Shan Kaiquan had no expression on his face, picked up the box of biscuits and threw it into the shopping cart.
Guo Kunnan felt as if he had been cheated, and said sadly: "Brother Quan, Brother Quan, don't be cheated!"
Shan Kaiquan: "I am willing."
Guo Kunnan stopped talking.
Shan Kaiquan throws the snacks he likes into the car directly when he encounters them. Only crazy consumption can cause fluctuations in his stagnant heart. Only in this way can he feel the meaning of life.
On the way, Guo Kunnan met Lu Qiqi from his class. She and Jiang Yanan were together. This new supermarket attracted many No. 4 middle school students to come shopping.
Guo Kunnan greeted: "Lu Qiqi, where is your partner?"
Lu Qiqi looked unhappy: "It's divided."
After losing her partner, she had to pay for food if she wanted to eat, and her quality of life dropped by two levels.
She now urgently needs to find a new partner to relieve the stress of life.
Lu Qiqi looked at the shelves. There were many foods she liked on them. She could take them casually before, but now she could only pick them carefully.
Suddenly, a tall and burly boy came out from behind the shelf. Guo Kunnan saw it and said, "Tianpeng, I thought you lost it."
They were students living on campus. After Guo Kunnan asked to come to the canteen, Yan Tianpeng followed him, but in the supermarket, he did not act with Guo Kunnan.
When Yan Tianpeng saw Lu Qiqi, he immediately licked her like a pug to say hello.
Lu Qiqi liked to ignore her, and she knew that Yan Tianpeng would dig her to death.
However, Yan Tianpeng was uncharacteristically generous today. He pointed at the shelves and said domineeringly: "Qiqi, pick whatever you like!"
Lu Qiqi's eyes lit up.
Yan Tianpeng picked a pack of spicy chicken drumsticks, priced at 16, and put them into Lu Qiqi's shopping cart without blinking.
At this moment, he looked very handsome while shopping.
Lu Qiqi's perception of him immediately improved a lot. A bad guy has done countless bad things, but as long as he does one good thing, he will make people 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 care about the price at all. He was so generous and tall, coupled with his tall and burly figure, it made Jiang Yanan want to have a boyfriend.
After a while, Lu Qiqi's shopping cart was more than half full.
Yan Tianpeng waved his hand again, "Whatever you want to eat, what you want to use, just choose!"
Lu Qiqi went to buy skin care products from the cart.
Yan Tianpeng fell behind and left the supermarket with Guo Kunnan.
When he arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, Guo Kunnan suddenly said in surprise: "Tianpeng, you didn't pay the bill?"
