In the summer in Hui Province, the sun rises very early.
The sky began to glow dimly, looking like a twisted, damp blue canvas.
The sun has just woken up and will not have time to show its hot body in the future.
In Xue Yuantong's bedroom, the electric fan rotates gently, blowing out a slight breeze. It is already on the smallest setting.
There is a magic circle arranged by Jiang Ning in the house, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it comfortable and pleasant.
She hugged the thin quilt and slept particularly soundly.
On usual weekends, if nothing happened, Xue Yuantong would always wake up after 9 o'clock, but today, nothing happened.
Before she went to bed last night, she went to sleep happily, because when she woke up, Jiang Ning would definitely have made breakfast when she opened her eyes, and she would have a delicious meal after a tiring night.
Everything went in the direction she planned.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Aunt Gu's figure appeared at the door. She looked at her daughter on the bed and thought of her daughter secretly eating popsicles last night.
She smiled and called: "Tongtong, Tongtong."
Xue Yuantong clamped the quilt tightly with his calves and turned over reluctantly, paying no attention to anyone.
Aunt Gu called twice more, and Xue Yuantong woke up from his sleep.
She opened her eyes, rubbed them ignorantly, and looked at the clock on the bedside. It was only half past five?
"Mom~" she said in a complaining voice.
Aunt Gu said kindly: "Tongtong, it's Saturday, you can sleep a little longer."
…
Xue Yuantong's weekend was cruelly ruined by her own mother, and she was angry for two whole days.
Until Sunday afternoon, when she went to school for evening self-study, she was still in the back seat, angrily saying to Jiang Ning:
"My mother is so bad. Next time when she rests, I will get up early and call her!"
Jiang Ning: "Are you sure you can get up early?"
One sentence silenced Xue Yuantong's mouth.
'He actually doesn't turn towards me?'
After a while, she hummed: "Jiang Ning, am I not treating you well? Who washed your clothes, planted the flowers on the windowsill, cooked for you, and helped you exercise on the computer?"
She talked non-stop.
Jiang Ning did not refute, and listened quietly to her speech. He was riding a mountain bike, blowing the summer wind. The wild grass and flowers on the roadside were growing everywhere, and the fresh fragrance was wafting.
He suddenly stepped on the pedal so hard that Xue Yuantong almost fell from the back seat.
They arrived at school a little early today because the cafeteria had a meal in the evening and they needed to gather in advance.
Riding to the intersection of the long street in front of the school gate, I met Shan Kaiquan, Guo Kunnan, Hu Jun and others who were strolling out.
"Jiang Ning." Several people greeted each other.
Later, Guo Kunnan watched the two people go away and sighed: "The relationship between them is really good."
He guessed: "Do you think it is possible that they are in a relationship?"
Hu Jun shook his head: "It's not like that. It's not like you've never seen other people fall in love. They kiss me and me all day long, with that sticky energy that makes me panic."
Shan Kaiquan agreed: "It's not very similar. I feel like we just have a better relationship."
After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the shoes. A distant relative of his came to visit over the weekend and bought him a pair of Nike shoes. They looked cool and trendy. After wearing them, he felt cooler.
Only the shoelaces were too easy to loosen. After walking for a while, Shan Kaiquan had to tie them seven or eight times, which caused him a nervous breakdown.
Guo Kunnan was still envious: "Jiang Ning's seats in the cafeteria are so well allocated, grandma, he is the only boy at the whole table."
"Any man should be envious of him!"
He always dreams about, if there are 7 girls at a table, which one should he pursue? The palms and backs of his hands are all full of flesh, and he would be reluctant to part with them.
Hu Jun joked: "If it were Zhang Chi, he would be so excited that he wouldn't be able to finish the whole table of food."
After a year of contact, he had a thorough understanding of Zhang Chi, and he did not speak to the other person to save face.
A few people were walking and chatting when Guo Kunnan suddenly asked: "Hey, brothers, what are we doing when we go out?"
At this time in the past, he and his brothers would look for food outside and find restaurants to eat. However, now that they have participated in the small dining table plan in the cafeteria, they don't have to worry about finding food.
Hu Jun dug into his trouser pockets and looked at the barber shop owned by a young woman on the roadside: "Brothers, I'm leaving first."
There are only two people left.
It's been hot recently, and it's the season when watermelons are ripe. A three-wheeler was parked at the intersection, and the horn sounded:
"The price of 8424 large watermelons has been reduced. It costs 7 cents per catty. It's so sweet, so sweet."
Guo Kunnan thought about going to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, and thinking about the members at the small dining table, he suddenly thought: "Brother Quan, let me buy a melon."
"Okay, give me half later and I'll give you the money."
Guo Kunnan: "No, I can use this melon."
…
Dinner time.
Jiang Ning took the lunch box and went to the cafeteria. The food today was still good, including stir-fried green beans, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and a relatively high-end dish - shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
The staple food is cabbage noodle soup, millet porridge, and fried pancakes.
Chen Siyu looked at the delicate green beans: "There is such a dish."
Tang Fu saw her look: "Ah, is there a problem?"
Sister Chen Siqing: "The green beans are very dangerous. I heard that if they are not fried, they will be poisonous if eaten!"
Tang Fu was surprised: "Then it's better not to eat it."
"Tang Fu, do you want to eat fried cakes?" Yang Sheng asked several people for their opinions.
"eat."
After Yang Sheng asked, he determined the portion and ran to get the pancake.
Jiang Ning planned to eat something light, so she chose millet porridge.
Xue Yuantong went to make gnocchi with Chen Siyu and the others.
Because it was Sunday, he could not enjoy the convenience of Teacher Guo Ran's help in preparing meals.
When the meal was being served, some students filled it too much and carried two bowls. As a result, when they returned, they accidentally spilled it all over the floor.
The dough fell on the floor and became slippery. Other students passed by and chose to get out of the way to prevent slipping.
Jiang Ning brought a bowl of millet porridge and met many acquaintances along the way. Lin Zida brought a bowl of gnocchi and greeted them with a smile.
Jiang Ning nodded in response. He didn't expect that the other party would participate in the small dinner table plan.
In terms of family strength, Lin Zida's Lin family is much richer than Qi Tianheng's family.
He also met Pei Yujing, and the girl held a bowl of porridge.
After Pei Yujing saw Jiang Ning, she planned to say something. To be honest, the other party saved her once at the sports meeting. Although she gave her a bottle of drink, it did not mean that things were clear.
No matter what, it's time to say hello.
However, she stared at Jiang Ning, unable to speak.
She is not used to saying hello to others. When she meets classmates on the street, she usually pretends not to know them.
Pei Yujing was torn in her heart, all she was thinking about was this matter. In the end, she decided not to say hello because she felt that Jiang Ning might have forgotten it.
Thinking of this, Pei Yujing suddenly became enlightened, and the worry lingering between her eyebrows dissipated, but she was still cold.
She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she neglected her feet. She stepped on the soup that her previous classmates had spilled, and the sole of her foot slipped. Her body swayed, her long hair swayed, and her head went blank.
Pei Yujing was completely stunned.
After Jiang Ning paid attention, he stretched out his hand to support Pei Yujing's shoulder. The other hand holding the bowl gently picked up Pei Yujing's bowl and held the two bowls in one hand with smooth and elegant movements.
Pei Yujing only felt a gentle force, holding her shoulders and stabilizing her body.
Her hands were empty and she realized that she hadn't fallen and the bowl hadn't been spilled.
Pei Yujing stopped worrying and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was distracted."
"I don't usually do that. I often serve food to others..." She was incoherent.
Jiang Ning remained calm and took back the hand on the girl's shoulder: "It's okay."
He returned the bowl to the other party and walked back.
Pei Yujing was still standing there when she heard a student next to her say: "That guy just now was so handsome. He can control the field."
…
Pei Yujing returned to the dining table, and Lin Zida, who was at the same table, said:
"It was a little dangerous just now."
Pei Yujing's reply was as cold as ever: "Yeah."
Li Shi was curious: "Huh?"
Lin Zida chuckled and said nothing.
But it was Gu Changyan from Class 3 who reminded her: "Yu Jing, please be more careful next time you walk and pay more attention to your steps."
Ding Shuyan, who sat at the same table, sat quietly, dignified and elegant. She took a mouthful of millet porridge, her eyes deep.
…
26 tables.
"Is this melon ripe?" Wang Longlong waved and patted it.
Guo Kunnan: "Can I buy unripe melons? By the way, do you have a knife?"
Wang Longlong: "No, but we have jade pillars."
Shan Kaiquan answered: "Brother Long, I guess Yuzhu can't do it. Last time the security office collected knives, wasn't Yuzhu's knife taken away?"
Wang Longlong was right after thinking about it, "It seems that I can only borrow it from the kitchen in the cafeteria."
Guo Kunnan rubbed his hands. In order to give Lu Yaya and Tan Liling melons to eat, this little difficulty is nothing.
He had just taken two steps when Huang Yuzhu arrived.
Ma Shicheng probed: "Yuzhu, do you have a knife to cut melons?"
Huang Yuzhu took out a plastic knife: "Yes, I have it."
…
27 tables.
Zhang Chi came very early. Today was a special day. There were no classes during the day for the first year of high school on Sunday. He was sure that the annoying Gao Heshuai would not be there.
If he came early, he would definitely be able to eat the good food first.
Yan Tianpeng had the same plan as him, but when he arrived, he found Gao Heshuai standing beside him, staring at the two of them eagerly.
Zhang Chi: ‘Fuck you, uncle!’
With Gao Heshuai guarding him, he didn't dare to eat first, so he could only look at the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and sigh. Zhang Chi liked this dish very much and could only eat it at banquets.
If he ordered a separate portion outside, it would cost twenty or thirty yuan! He couldn't afford it anyway.
Zhang Chi had served the noodle soup in advance, but he could only wait for the other diners to take their seats. Duan Shigang, Shi Qianjin, Li Shengnan, Wang Yanyan and Shen Xinli gradually returned to their seats.
Suddenly, Zhang Chi smelled a strange smell, and he didn't know where it came from.
Zhang Chi didn't pay attention. Everyone finally arrived. Zhang Chi no longer had to worry about Gao Heshuai's expression. He reached out and scooped up a piece of tofu skin and rolled it with shredded pork in thick sauce. He fished out as much shredded pork as possible.
.
Then add cucumber shreds and scallion shreds, and roll them into strips.
As if Zhang Chi had found a treasure, he put the rolled pork pancake on the tip of his nose. There were only 8 pieces of tofu skin in total. Each person could only roll it once and it would be gone after eating. He cherished it very much.
Zhang Chi sniffed fiercely, wanting to inhale all the fragrance into his stomach, wanting to occupy it all.
A strong breath entered my nose, and there was a rotten smell!
Zhang Chi took another breath and found that it was not only rancid, but also mixed with an unpleasant sour smell!
Zhang Chi was furious. He rolled up the Jingjiang pork shreds with his backhand, slapped it on the table, and shouted:
"This meat stinks!"
The commotion was quite big. The entire dining table No. 27, and even the students at the tables around and around him, all heard it, and everyone looked at it one after another.
Gao Heshuai frowned: "What did you say?"
Zhang Chi was full of confidence and glared at the tall fat man without giving in: "I said this meat smells bad, but you don't believe me if you smell it!"
Yan Tianpeng: "You're lying, right?"
He picked up Zhang Chi's meat roll, took a deep breath, and sure enough he smelled a sour smell of putrefaction.
Yan Tianpeng's expression changed: "It stinks, it stinks, the canteen is giving us stinky meat!"
Zhang Chi: “I won’t eat the food, I want my money back!”
Yan Tianpeng shouted: "Refund the money! Refund the money!"
The whole place was shocked. Even the students eating in the distance could not help but look sideways. Some students stood up to watch the fun.
Things suddenly got serious. As a teacher, Gao Heshuai naturally couldn't stand by and watch.
He was one of the promoters of the small dining table plan. Gao Heshuai picked up the meat roll left by Zhang Chi, put it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath.
The facial features on his dark face twisted, it stinks, it stinks so much.
Gao Heshuai made a quick decision and shouted: "All classmates, all classmates, put down the shredded pork with Beijing sauce in your hands!"
29 tables.
Everyone ate in harmony, talked and laughed.
Chen Siyu said: "Don't eat, don't eat."
Geng Lu was about to bite it. She closed her lips and wondered: "Jiang Ning, can't you eat it?"
Jiang Ning: "Okay."
Gao Heshuai roared, and all the teachers around him came closer. Director Yan put on a serious face:
"Teacher Gao, what's going on?"
Gao Heshuai said truthfully: "Director Yan, this dish of shredded pork with Beijing sauce smells bad. I have to go to the cafeteria and ask about the situation. Why are the students eating smelly meat?"
Zhang Chi added: "I almost ate it, I must be compensated!"
Director Yan took the piece of meat roll and took a whiff. It really smelled bad.
It's just that his reaction was not as exciting as Gao Heshuai's. Director Yan has been a teacher for many years and often holds meetings with the principal and leaders of the Education Bureau. He even met Shao Shuangshuang and academicians who came out of the No. 4 Middle School. He has seen the world.
Director Yan pointed to several dining tables nearby and asked the students: "Do you smell the smell of shredded pork with Beijing sauce?"
At table 26, Guo Kunnan smelled it carefully and said, "It seems to be a little bit."
Dong Qingfeng at table 28 also felt the same way.
But at Table 30, which was further away, Shan Xiao said: "It doesn't smell bad, it's quite delicious."
Director Yan frowned. He put down the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and sniffed it again. The smell was still strong.
"Xiao Gao, please remove the shredded pork with Jingjiang sauce."
Gao Heshuai brought the dishes for table 27 to the window. When the chef heard about the situation, he ran out of the kitchen and cried out:
"Director Yan, why does meat smell so bad? I bought it from the vegetable market this morning."
Director Yan was suspicious at this time, the smell was not right.
He lowered his head to search, and finally found something abnormal. He probably determined the cause. Director Yan still had a serious face, and he didn't know whether he should tell him or not.
If you don't talk about it, the small dining table plan will be slandered. If you talk about it...
Duan Shigang couldn't bear the stench. He threw the kuaizi, but he exerted too much strength and the kuaizi rolled off the table. He bent down to pick up the kuaizi, and the stench doubled instantly.
He saw Wang Yanyan's feet wearing sandals.
As if Duan Shigang had seen a ghost, he jumped up quickly, pointed at Wang Yanyan, and shouted: "It's not the vegetables that stink, it's her feet that stink!"
