On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, at 8:30 in the morning, the winter sunshine filled the river dam.
Zhang Ruyun wiped his motorcycle at the door again. He dipped a rag in warm water and wiped it little by little, very seriously. However, when he thought of his girlfriend who was drifting away, the sadness on his face could not be concealed.
The little cotton-padded jacket Tongtong whispered to Jiang Ning, "He seems to be about to cry."
Jiang Ning held a porcelain bowl with candied dates and rice porridge in his hand. He took a sip and said, "A man doesn't cry, but he's just not sad yet."
The corners of Zhang Ruyun's mouth twitched, and he looked away from him.
He was dissatisfied: 'I have a girlfriend who I hold hands with every day. What do you, Jiang Ning, have? She is with Xue Yuantong every day. What can she do for you as a little girl?'
Yes, Zhang Ruyun has a girlfriend.
Chu Chu, who was dressed in a plain down jacket, walked out of the house. She took two large homemade steamed buns in her hands. The buns were very white, but they pale in comparison to Xue Chuchu's white and pink hands.
"Eat some steamed buns, don't just drink porridge." Xue Chuchu said.
Jiang Ning said: "The porridge you cook is indeed delicious. There is a lot of rice soup to quench your thirst."
Xue Chuchu just smiled lightly after hearing this. Jiang Ning is always like this. Although she rarely works, she always praises her and praises her. She clearly sees clearly, but every time she hears it, she still feels happy from the bottom of her heart.
.
Probably because of her childhood environment, she lacked a sense of recognition.
Jiang Ning took a bite of the bun and looked sideways at Zhang Ruyun.
Xue Yuantong said in his heart: "Huh, stinky Jiang Ning is so childish."
Zhang Ruyun was numb.
"Hey, I'm meeting my girlfriend for dinner today, let her treat me as a guest!" Zhang Ruyun suddenly said.
The damn desire to win made him take out his mobile phone and make a WeChat call to his girlfriend.
The call was answered quickly.
Zhang Ruyun's voice became gentle in an instant, and he asked caringly: "Ayue, have you gotten up?"
A girl's voice came from the receiver: "Brother Yun, you're up, where are you?"
Zhang Ruyun immediately turned on the speakerphone and called Jiang Ning and the others like a show off.
As a result, while chatting, Ah Yue said that her blind date gave her a gold bracelet.
Zhang Ruyun's expression suddenly changed.
When he was young, he was both pure and possessive about love. He was flammable and angry. Zhang Ruyun's voice suddenly rose: "Ah Yue, I really don't understand. He gave you a gift, why did you accept it?"
Ah Yue: "I don't know. When he gave it, it was a handbag. I opened the bag and found out that it was Chow Tai Fook's bracelet."
Zhang Ruyun: "It's not a question of whether it's a bag or not. If you don't like it, why should you accept other people's gifts?"
"Why are you like this?"
"If it were me, I would refuse any gift directly."
He was extremely excited and kept using sharp words to accuse Ah Yue of his mistakes.
Ah Yue couldn't bear what she said, and aroused her sense of resistance: "If you don't answer, does that mean I can't answer? Why should I be the same as you, why should I stand in your point of view, I think it's fine, there is a back and forth."
, no problem!”
Zhang Ruyun's cell phone was shaking, as if he was ill: "Do you know what it means to accept a gift? What?"
Xue Yuantong, who was watching the show, whispered to Jiang Ning: "You can't accept gifts randomly. Even corrupt leaders don't dare to take things without doing anything."
Jiang Ning gave her a thumbs up.
Xue Yuantong crossed her arms, huh, she understood this very early. When Jiang Ning first moved here, he would ride with her on the way to school, but she wouldn't pay attention to him at all, because that would be a debt of gratitude.
She is always cool and never bothers others.
Just now…
The young couple had a fierce quarrel, and Ah Yue added fuel to the fire: "My mother even asked me to go have a meal with him today."
Zhang Ruyun almost exploded: "A man and a woman, do you think it's appropriate for you to go out to eat?"
Ah Yue: "I'm not you. I won't cross the line. Just go. He and I are just friends."
After saying this, Ah Yue hung up the WeChat call.
When Zhang Ruyun called again, he could no longer get through.
He looked at the phone and murmured: "Why? Why does a person become so fast?"
I remember that we met and knew each other in school. At that time, Ah Yue was very simple. Although her life was very simple, they could work hard together. As a distinguished member of the student union, Zhang Ruyun would always take her to work part-time together and imagine a bright future together.
But now, why is it that the family just introduced a blind date, and why are they completely different from now on?
His rules, which are as heavy as a rock, are actually as light as the clouds for Ah Yue.
The truth is ever-changing.
Zhang Ruyun laughed miserably and laughed at himself: "Couples are not as good as friends, haha, what can I do?"
Jiang Ning ate steamed buns and drank porridge, and said, "If you pretend not to know, the three of you will be in peace."
Zhang Ruyun was devastated and heartbroken: "But how can I pretend not to know?"
Xue Yuantong made a suggestion: "Then you should be friends with her and ask her if you can go to dinner too."
Zhang Ruyun's silence was deafening.
Xue Chuchu slandered: 'It's a good move to stop losses and buy shares in time.'
…
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Ning was still playing at the door. He sat on the small bench and played chess with Xue Yuantong.
Near the chessboard, Dongdong put on mature clothes and looked like an adult. He stood on the ground, looking to the west, watching for safety.
Jiang Ning said: "Dongdong, you have been promoted and raised your salary now. As the vice president of the strawberry greenhouse, you will work hard in the future!"
Xue Yuantong painted cake: "The future is promising."
Dongdong grinned and showed a kind smile.
Dongdong was not promoted without reason. One of the reasons was that Xue Yuantong was bragging in the group last night and was informed by Tang Jing about Huang Yuzhu.
Huang Yuzhu was really desperate. He realized that his neglected brother had completely gone astray. If he didn't correct himself, he would be completely ruined in the future.
After consulting Xue Yuantong, he found that Heba was not only able to work-study, but also had a highly respected teacher!
You can not only exercise and cultivate your character, but also have a teacher to teach and learn. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Huang Yuzhu did not hesitate for too long and made up his mind to send his brother to Heba for further study.
And this morning is the day when Huang Yuzhu sends his younger brother here.
The second reason is that Jiang Ning asked Dongdong to work. The children who were originally bullied by Dongdong had something to rely on. At first, they were just supervisors, but later they actually started to beat and scold Dongdong, and even bullied Dongdong.
Became a dragon.
Children's education is really interesting... But Jiang Ning then thought about it, what about the adult world?
Time passes minute by minute.
The roar of a motorcycle broke into the boundary of Heba.
Jiang Ning had just finished playing the game of chess. Facing the friend he often had dinner with in his previous life, he stood up and said, "Yuzhu, here you go."
Huang Yuzhu got off the motorcycle and said honestly: "Have you eaten yet?"
At the same time, a more honest man who looked in his forties smiled at Jiang Ning and humbly took out a cigarette and handed it to her.
Jiang Ning waved her hand and said hello, uncle.
Then, Huang Guan hugged a half-year-old child and brought him in front of Jiang Ning: "This is my son, Xingxing, here to say hello."
The little boy raised his face with no expression and said nothing.
"Look at this kid." Huang Guan said with a serious face.
Jiang Ning didn't mind: "The child is still young."
He waved to Dongdong, "Introduce him to the job."
After all, Dongdong is a veteran of the strawberry farm. He opened his mouth and said: "Working in our strawberry farm, you will take care of three meals a day, and you will have meat for every meal!"
He shook his strong arms and said, "I'm only 9 years old this year!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Guan and Huang Yuzhu, father and son, took a breath of air and looked at the calf-like thing. What the hell are you telling me, he is only a nine-year-old child?
"Not only can you eat, but you can also eat strawberries. You know strawberries? Greenhouse strawberries cost dozens of yuan per pound!" Dongdong introduced enthusiastically.
As a hard-working boss, Huang Guan knew that strawberries in winter were expensive and his family was reluctant to buy them.
‘For such a young child, he can not only take care of food but also eat strawberries. Xingxing will definitely like it, and the place is remote and there is no Internet cafe.’ The more Huang Guan thought about it, the better it became.
Jiang Ning coughed lightly.
Dongdong immediately said: "Not only can I work and eat well, but I can also receive Teacher Qian's teachings!"
At this time, the handsome teacher Qian next door walked out of the room. He stood under the eastern sun, shining brightly, and recited a poem: "Last night I fought back to the north, and today I am rising from the east. I have become an official in my old age, and I have nothing to do with it."
When people are rich, they worry about farmers."
Xue Yuantong praised: "What a poem, what a poem, what a poem!"
It was obviously a sincere compliment, but Teacher Qian felt that she was acting strangely. This girl had become sinister!
When Huang Guan saw Teacher Qian's lofty demeanor as a cultured person, he was immediately inspired. He was able to work hard and had a teacher to supervise him. It was perfect!
Look at the nine-year-old boy in front of you. He looks like an adult. He is so mature and well-behaved!
Huang Guan immediately urged his son to do a good job.
In fact, working in the strawberry garden is still paid. Dongdong's remuneration is 150 yuan. Jiang Ning works very hard as an intermediary, so he takes 149 yuan, and Dongdong gets 1 yuan every day.
For a newbie like Xingxing, Jiang Ning set the price at 80 yuan. He took 79 yuan and 50 cents, leaving 50 cents as a salary increase for Dongdong's promotion to the vice president of the greenhouse, so Xingxing only had zero yuan.
But just doing this is not good, it will make Dongdong degenerate.
Xue Yuantong proposed a competition mechanism. She would randomly visit guests and judge who has the best work attitude through the guests' praise, and who would be promoted to general manager first.
However, it has not been implemented yet and needs to be made official.
Huang Guan and Huang Yuzhu entrusted Xingxing to Dongdong and left Heba excitedly.
…
Dongdong kept his disguise and looked at the little boy Xingxing.
In the past, Dongdong had many subordinates, but they were all grass-roots workers. However, the Xingxing in front of him was actually a certified formal worker.
"Hey kid, are you cool?" Dongdong greeted.
At a young age, Xingxing was able to deceive his family. He hung out in major Internet cafes every day. He had seen many gangsters. At this time, he felt that Dongdong was very talkative. He was not afraid of such people at all.
"Well, Xiaodong, can you play CF?" Xingxing asked.
Dongdong was puzzled: "What is CF?"
Xingxing sneered secretly, CF didn't even understand, he was really a bumpkin from a remote village.
He swept the river dam and ordered: "Take me to the strawberry garden to play. I haven't eaten strawberries in a long time."
Dongdong smiled: "Your work attitude is very proactive, I like it very much!"
Dongdong did not forget to greet King Jiang Ning: "I'm leaving!"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Well, remember, you two are working voluntarily."
Xingxing raised his feet and walked away. Dongdong caught up and asked: "Don't you say hello to him, otherwise he will make things difficult for you!"
Xingxing dismissed it: "Why should I say hello to him? Who is he?"
Dongdong: "If you don't please him, the consequences will be serious!"
Although Xingxing is young, he surfs the Internet every day and has his own world view. He brainwashed Dongdong in reverse: "Then when he dies, I will definitely be happy."
'If Jiang Ning dies...' The thought of rebellion arose in Dongdong's mind, and immediately he suppressed the bold idea in his heart for fear of offending the king.
Dongdong shook his head: "Work hard, there will be a lot of benefits in the future!"
Xingxing looked at this stupid and stupid Dongdong, seeing him through and through, and thought to himself, when it is time to work, he will trick the stupid fat man into working while he eats strawberries next to him.
In the past, Xingxing often made Fatty look around in class.
Teacher Qian looked at Xingxing's walking figure from afar, and he asserted: "This kid will not have any future prospects."
Zhang Ruyun's sadness healed a lot. He was surprised: "Teacher, how did you see it?"
Teacher Qian glanced at him and said, "Ruyun, I'm here to teach you today!"
"To see whether a boy has a future, first look at his parents. Have you seen his father, riding a motorcycle, looking honest and honest, and not daring to straighten up when talking? Can such a child have a future? Wait for him
All I have to do is pay off the mortgage for the rest of my life, and work for the rest of my life. If I can find a wife and be safe and sound, I think my ancestors are doing well."
Zhang Ruyun: "Then how can one be considered promising?"
Teacher Qian looked to the west and said: "The two children who often came to the farmhouse some time ago must be officials at home and must have a future."
Zhang Ruyun wondered: "In the final analysis, isn't it just about looking at your parents?"
Teacher Qian took it for granted and repeated: "Isn't it just to look after your parents?"
Thirty years ago, why wasn't he full of passion, but in the end he had to retire as an ordinary teacher?
…
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Gu was riding a battery car home. Her work in Changqingye has been very relaxed recently. After a busy morning, Aunt Gu's work is over and she can spend more time with her daughter.
Xue Yuantong immediately came over.
Aunt Gu looked at her little daughter and felt as if she lived in the village. Every time she came home from the market, her daughter would always come to greet her and ask her what delicious food she bought today.
As soon as Aunt Gu's battery car stopped, Xue Yuantong glanced into the basket of the car, looking and rummaging around, but she was excited.
Aunt Gu actually likes her very much. It wouldn't be good if her daughter just said "Oh" every time she came home and was deserted.
People, sometimes do not just live alone, sometimes being needed by others is also the meaning of existence.
However, looking at her daughter's useless and greedy appearance, Aunt Gu lectured her: "No, take off your shoes and go in and poop."
