Chu Chu finished washing the dishes and rode a scooter to school. Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were the only ones left at home.
"Mom won't be back until this afternoon." Xue Yuantong wondered what gift her mother would get this time.
If you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing missing at home...
Maybe the refrigerator is a bit old and the TV is a bit small, but for her, it's enough.
Xue Yuantong has not been exposed to many good things since he was a child, and his material desires are very low.
But if her mother can get good things for free, Xue Yuantong is still very happy.
Jiang Ning moved a lounge chair to rest, and placed a glass of water and a book on the small wooden table at hand.
Xue Yuantong took advantage of the fact that it was not too hot and walked around the door to inspect the territory.
The neighbor's motorcycle roared loudly, wearing a white vest and showing his arms. The bohemian Uncle Zhang went out on the motorcycle.
He rode more than ten meters and said in a loud voice: "Don't feed the dogs today!"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then chased her out of the house and shouted: "Is the dog dead?"
Her dark yellow face actually showed a bit of joy.
Her husband kept dogs every day, which was a waste of money and time, and he was not doing his job properly. She was very annoyed.
Uncle Zhang was also stunned and retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just finished feeding you!"
Mrs. Zhang looked disappointed and waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, pick up your son quickly."
"I'm going to the train station now!" Uncle Zhang's face was shiny. He turned the accelerator and the Universiade motorcycle sped out.
Xue Yuantong waved and said hello.
As a neighbor, Xue Yuantong knew that Uncle Zhang had a son who was admitted to college last year and his score exceeded the first-class score.
Uncle Zhang, a pig butcher with only fifth grade education, was lucky enough to receive this unicorn and was overjoyed.
I specially brought a pound of pig ears and visited Teacher Qian next door. The two of them ate meat and drank wine. Finally, under the strong recommendation of Teacher Qian, I applied for the civil engineering major of Huizhou University of Architecture and Architecture.
To this end, Uncle Zhang held a college entrance banquet, and twenty tables of guests came that day. It was so lively!
Uncle Zhang invited Teacher Qian, Uncle Tang, mother and daughter of the Xue family to dinner for free.
Even though several people insisted on giving gifts, Uncle Zhang refused to ask for them, which showed how happy he was.
Uncle Zhang's motorcycle makes a lot of noise, and his neighbor's teacher Qian is shaking the banana fan, leisurely and at ease.
When Uncle Zhang was far away, Teacher Qian chanted: "The Qingjiang River hugs the village, and the Changxia River Village is quiet."
"Good poetry, good poetry!" he boasted!
The fat old lady next door and Dongdong went out and happened to be bumped into by Teacher Qian.
Teacher Qian was stared at by two pairs of bloodshot red eyes. He took two steps back in fright, his face full of surprise:
"Do you have pink eye?"
When Xue Yuantong, who was walking, noticed, she quietly turned her eyes. She heard when she was a child that if you look directly at pink eye, you will be infected.
She doesn't want her eyes to be as red as a rabbit's!
The fat old lady's voice became hoarse: "Teacher Qian, did you hear ghosts screaming last night?"
Teacher Qian was almost happy when he heard this. He is a people's teacher with firm materialism and full of righteousness!
Why fear ghosts?
"Are you kidding? I slept peacefully yesterday. Where did the noise come from? Feudal superstition!" Teacher Qian dismissed it.
The fat old lady waved her fat hand excitedly: "There is really a ghost screaming. If you don't believe it, ask me grandson?"
She quickly patted Dongdong, who was sitting on the stone at the door, squinting and trying to sleep. After being pulled awake, Dongdong recalled the nightmare-like experience last night, holding his head and screaming:
"Grandma, I want to sleep!"
"I want to sleep!"
Fat old lady: "My grandson never lies to anyone!"
Teacher Qian agrees with this point. Dongdong is just a bad kid and doesn’t tell many lies.
However, Teacher Qian still didn’t believe it, and his wrinkles made him smile:
"You are frightening yourselves and are neurotic."
The fat old lady emphasized again: "There is really a ghost in my house!"
Teacher Qian was annoyed by her, but he had not forgotten that the two families had a big quarrel yesterday. At present, no one is quarreling in the bungalow. It is the fat old lady who is the opponent. Teacher Qian suffered in vain yesterday. If he had not left in time, he might have been killed.
Rake it upside down.
I still hold grudges at this moment!
Teacher Qian asked: "Ghosts are screaming? Is there something wrong with your ears? In what era are you believing this? Only people with no education believe it!"
The fat old lady was still frightened and kept repeating herself.
Teacher Qian was impatient, "Okay, I'll go to your house to check. What's going on in broad daylight? I guess some animal ran in, maybe a yellow wolf."
When the fat old lady heard that he was willing, she felt as if she had seen a savior and hurriedly said: "It's in the east room of my house. Come and listen."
Teacher Qian showed no fear, held his head high and held his chest high, taking on the aura of a school leader.
He walked into the fat old lady's house, walked through the small courtyard, and finally stood at the door of the east room.
Behind them, the fat old lady and Dongdong were cowering, with frightened eyes. Even though they were usually lawless, they had been tortured by the ghosts all night, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally. Their condition couldn't be any worse.
Teacher Qian turned his back to the others and adjusted his sleeves, "Let me take a look!"
After saying this, he stepped into the threshold with his right foot.
Dongdong was suddenly stimulated and had a stress reaction. He held his head and screamed "Ahhhhh!"
The fat old lady was frightened by her grandson and let out a ghostly howl: "Ghost!"
Teacher Qian was not frightened by the ghost, but was frightened by his grandfather and grandson. He trembled and shouted, "Be good!"
The clutter mixed together.
Xue Yuantong was waiting at the gate outside, watching a few people going crazy. Her mouth was slightly open, dumbfounded, feeling that the world was magical.
Teacher Qian yelled for a while, and his expression gradually became calmer, expressionless, and then full of contempt.
He glanced at the fat old lady and Dongdong and sneered:
"I've scared you to death. Aren't you usually very capable? Are you scared to death in a room like this?"
"What a ghost, you guys must be crazy about gains and losses!"
"Ghost?" Teacher Qian said with a bald mouth, domineeringly: "I am a ghost!"
He made a gesture, which frightened the grandfather and grandson again.
"You guys can stay here." Teacher Qian stepped out with his left foot and shook the banana fan. His signature expression appeared on his face, with a half-hearted look at the harshness of the world and a half-hearted sarcastic smile.
As soon as Fang entered the room, Teacher Qian felt that everything in front of him was dark, the morning sun had disappeared, it was quiet, it had never been quiet before, as if he had entered another world.
A gloomy wind blew, whizzing into the bones, and Teacher Qian raised his eyes.
The black and white sign enshrined in the center of the room suddenly buzzed and trembled, making a bone-crushing sound.
Teacher Qian gritted his teeth and moved forward. The wind was strong, and there was a scream in his ears. The scream was like the cry of a baby, and like a woman who died unjustly. It would never stop, arousing the most terrifying fear in the heart, and he had goosebumps all over his body.
Startled.
With a look of horror on his face, he quickly exited the room and closed the door behind his back, his heart pounding.
The fat old lady came forward, her red eyes bulging.
Teacher Qian rubbed his face to relieve the stiffness and said solemnly: "I admit that what I just said went too far."
…
Xue Yuantong witnessed the whole process and came to Jiang Ning's house to tell Jiang Ning: "Dongdong's house is haunted!"
Jiang Ning: "Oh."
"Aren't you afraid?" Xue Yuantong felt very scared, how scary it was.
Jiang Ning said: "What is there to be afraid of? Are you afraid?"
Xue Yuantong pinched his waist: "I'm not afraid!"
…
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Shan Kaiquan shouted in the group: "Is anyone going to climb Mount Tai together? Currently there are me and Brother Nan."
"@深青娥, please help me @ the whole class."
Now the whole class received the news, Dong Qingfeng asked: "When are you going?"
Shan Kaiquan: "What's your number?"
Yu Wen: "Yanan and I decided to leave for Taipei City on the 10th."
Dong Qingfeng became more motivated: "Then I will be No. 10."
Jiang Yanan suddenly @陈思宇: "Siyu, I heard you say when we chatted before, don't you want to climb a mountain?"
Although Class 8 is divided into many small circles, everyone is not isolated from each other.
After a while, Chen Siyu popped up and replied: "Ah, is there any?"
Jiang Yanan joked: "Siyu, you forget things so easily."
Chen Siyu guessed that it was my sister who was chatting with Jiang Yanan and accidentally let it slip. My hateful sister has tricked me again!
Chen Siyu decided to go home at night and ravage her sister!
"I guess I can't go. I'm selling clothes in my aunt's store recently." Chen Siyu declined politely.
Hu Jun showed his head: "Auntie?"
Chen Siyu explained: "Yes, my mother's sister."
Hu Jun: "Are your aunt and your mother twin sisters?"
Guo Kunnan: "What the hell, Chen Siyu, please ignore him."
Bai Yuxia asked: "Is it hard to sell clothes?"
Chen Siyu finally had someone to complain to, and immediately said: "I'm so busy, so busy. When I got to the store at 8 o'clock in the morning, my feet were so busy that my voice was almost hoarse!"
Dong Qingfeng: "It's dry, remember to drink more water and protect your throat. I'm afraid I won't be able to hear your beautiful voice next semester."
Guo Kunnan: "..."
I thought with disdain, 'What a dog!'
People like Guo Kunnan would never be able to say such things.
When Bai Yuxia saw someone showing concern, she asked a more realistic question: "How many pieces of clothing did you sell in one morning?"
After hearing this, Chen Siyu said: "Let me see...(sweating) Not a single order has been opened."
Bai Yuxia: "As expected."
…
On the outskirts of the city, there was a Universiade motorcycle. In the front was the burly Uncle Zhang, in the back was Uncle Zhang's son, Xiao Zhang, and in the back was a solidly bundled suitcase.
Compared to Uncle Zhang, who is tall and thick, Xiao Zhang is of medium build and wears the currently popular retro baseball T-shirts and retro sports shorts.
Xiao Zhang also had his hair permed.
He originally planned to stay in Ancheng to work during the summer vacation, but he could only work as a waiter or work in a factory. There was really no good job, and his parents were urging him to stay at home, so he could only come home for a few days.
"I bought crabs, lamb chops, seabass, and eel. I'll cook them for you at noon."
Uncle Zhang's face, which was full of flesh and blood, rarely showed some warmth that he did not usually have when facing his son.
Xiao Zhang said: "It's too much."
Uncle Zhang: "What's so much? You come home after a long time, why don't I get you something delicious?"
Passing by a fruit shop, Uncle Zhang stopped his motorcycle and said, "Buy some fruit and go home."
Entering the fruit supermarket, Uncle Zhang knew that his son loved lychees, so he weighed two kilograms first.
I bought two more boxes of bayberries, and then went to the peach aisle. Even though it was a small supermarket, the peaches were divided into different grades. The cheapest ones cost one or two yuan per catty, and the most expensive ones cost seven or eight yuan per catty.
Uncle Zhang is a pig butcher and has no shortage of money, but he usually saves money. He plans to save more to buy a house for his son in Ancheng in two years.
So when buying fruits, I usually choose cheap or medium ones.
This time when his son came back, Uncle Zhang naturally couldn't eat the cheap ones anymore, so he directly picked the most expensive peaches.
As a result, Xiao Zhang was blocked.
Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Zhang and heard him say: "Dad, it's too expensive, buy a cheaper one."
Uncle Zhang was startled, and he couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. He remembered that his son used to buy things and always wanted to get the best. Now that he is in college...
When my son grows up, he knows how to save money.
However, as a parent, how can we allow our children to endure hardship?
Uncle Zhang laughed heartily and showed the domineering attitude of a pig butcher: "We are going to eat expensive food today, your father is not short of money!"
He grabbed a few peaches with his big hand.
…
The "rumbling" sound of motorcycles echoed through the Heba bungalow.
As soon as Xue Yuantong heard the sound, he knew it was not his mother's battery car, but that Uncle Zhang was back.
Jiang Ning did not open her consciousness and was still resting on the recliner.
Uncle Zhang arrived at the door of his house and stopped his motorcycle. Xiao Zhang was confused: "Who was the boy in front of Aunt Gu's house just now?"
He is an old resident here. He only works during the winter vacation. He only stayed at home for a few days and did not see Jiang Ning.
Uncle Zhang: "That's Xiao Jiang next door, a student from No. 4 Middle School, renting a house with Gu's family."
Xiao Zhang didn't take it seriously. He was just a high school student. He was already a college student.
In his opinion, under one university, everyone is just an ant.
Uncle Zhang filled a basin of water and carried a bag of peaches to the door.
Xue Yuantong occupied the water and books on the small wooden table. She read the book for a while and suddenly told Jiang Ning:
"The firewood at home is gone, let's go to the river to collect dry branches in the afternoon!"
Although most of the time at home, a gas stove is used for cooking, but if you plan to cook hard dishes, you must use a pot on the ground. Use the pot on the ground to cook the hard dishes, which will taste more fragrant.
Jiang Ning said "hmm" in agreement.
Xue Yuantong: "I want to pick up a lot this time."
"oh."
"Mom has a day off tomorrow and will steam the steamed buns to eat." Xue Yuantong said nonchalantly, "Steam a lot of buns at a time and put them in the refrigerator so that you can heat a few for meals every day."
Jiang Ning's ears were surrounded by her crisp voice, which was pleasant and comfortable, and he wanted to take a nap.
Neighbor Uncle Zhang was about to wash the peaches, but when he saw his big wolf dog squatting beside Jiang Ning's door, his face darkened.
Ever since the dog was beaten by Jiang Ning, the dog seemed to have recognized Jiang Ning as the master. Unless he came home for meals on weekdays, he would be the doorkeeper for Jiang Ning at all other times.
How could Uncle Zhang bear this grievance? He stopped washing the peaches and carried the bag to look for the dog.
When Uncle Zhang came over, he kicked the wolf dog in anger, and when he heard Xue Yuantong talking about steaming steamed buns, he frowned and thought of his plan.
He said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Jiang, and Tongtong, I have a question for you."
"If it takes 10 minutes to steam one steamed bun, how long does it take to steam 10 steamed buns?"
Xue Yuantong immediately replied: "It's still 10 minutes, because the steamed buns can be steamed together."
Uncle Zhang: "It takes 3 minutes to eat one peach. How long does it take to eat 8 peaches?"
Xue Yuantong said: "24 minutes, peaches and steamed buns are different, you can only eat them one by one."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang sneered, put the bag down on the wooden table, and there was a "bang!" sound, and his tone was aggressive:
"There are 8 peaches in it. Come on, I think you can finish them in 24 minutes?"
Xue Yuantong thought, is there such a good thing?
Jiang Ning took out a fruit knife and helped Xue Yuantong peel the peaches.
Then, when Uncle Zhang's eyes were about to burst, Xue Yuantong finished 8 peaches in 24 minutes.
She did not forget to say thank you, "Uncle Zhang, you are a good person!"
