night.

It was a cold day, and Xue Yuantong's mood became even better when he walked from school to the door of his house. His mother's kind face was under the light.

She quickly jumped out of the car and jumped in front of her mother happily: "I'm back!"

Aunt Gu looked at her daughter's fussy appearance and blamed her: "Why are you so anxious? The car hasn't stopped yet!"

Xue Yuantong didn't care at all: "Mom, you still don't know about my skills?"

Jiang Ning stopped the car and said hello to Aunt Gu.

Aunt Gu was very happy when she saw Jiang Ning riding a bicycle. The house she lived in was relatively remote. The nearest bus stop was on Nanhong Road. Even if you got off there, it would still take a long time to get to the bungalow in Heba.

.

In the past, when Tongtong was in junior high school, she would always find time to pick her up and drop her off. If she really couldn't spare the time, she would let her take the bus back. Because junior high school didn't have late self-study, although life was a little more difficult, she could still take care of both.

It's high school now, and she has evening self-study. If her job remains unchanged, and if Jiang Ning doesn't appear, Aunt Gu doesn't even want to think about how she would take good care of her daughter.

So looking at Jiang Ning at this time, Aunt Gu's expression became more and more satisfied. The rent of this house was so worth it, and the daughter's matter was also solved.

However, Aunt Gu took a look at Jiang Ning and found that he was handsome and tall. She was quite satisfied. Then she looked at her daughter who was short. She was so unsatisfied that Aunt Gu inevitably felt melancholy.

She doesn't need to be tall, as long as she can grow to 1.6 meters.

Aunt Gu said: "I made shrimps at home and heated up the milk. Jiang Ning, please come and eat some together."

Jiang Ning knew that this was Tongtong’s exclusive ‘Children’s Growth—Late Night Supper Package’.

He replied: "I'll park the car and come right away."

Tongtong ran to the kitchen and found that her mother had taken a large plate of glossy and rosy boiled shrimps from the steaming plate. A rough count showed that there were more than 30 shrimps, arranged neatly, with two bowls of dipping sauce beside them.

Xue Yuantong moved her index finger, and Aunt Gu hit her and told her to wash her hands first.

"My name is Chu Chu!" Xue Yuantong is very loyal and will never forget Chu Chu when there are benefits.

She quickly ran to Chu Chu's house, and first saw Aunt Hua watching TV under the quilt: "Aunt, I want Chu Chu to come to my house to eat."

Aunt Hua's slightly cold face softened a lot after seeing Tongtong: "Tongtong is here."

She used to care about her own Chuchu, hoping that she would study hard and get ahead. During that period of time, Hua Fengmei had some objections to Tongtong. No one wanted to see her girls running around and playing all day without touching the house.

Now Aunt Hua has changed a lot. After all these years, it is rare that the two little guys can still play so well. Moreover, her job is only possible because of Sister Gu's relationship, so she can join the Evergreen Liquid Company.

Otherwise, she would still be working the night shift in the textile factory now, and she wouldn't even dare to take a day off just for the two hundred dollars to work perfectly.

She smiled and called: "Chu Chu, stop studying, Tongtong is calling you."

In another small room, Xue Chuchu took off the blanket from her legs and stood up to greet Tongtong.

"Chu Chu, let's go eat shrimp, it's delicious!" Tongtong led the way eagerly, "Jiang Ning is here too, I'll let him peel the shrimp for me later!"

Xue Chuchu smiled knowingly, bent her waist and took small steps to follow Tongtong.

Soon, the movement in the small courtyard disappeared, and Hua Fengmei continued to watch TV.

Two minutes later, Hua Fengmei thought: 'Is Jiang Ning still peeling shrimps for Tongtong to eat? Being so nice to her? My Chuchu...'

…

"Jiang Ning, you eat! You eat!"

Xue Yuantong smiled very brightly. She stretched out her little hand and pinched the white and tender shrimp meat.

"You're welcome." Jiang Ning took the shrimp meat, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and put it in his mouth. The shrimp was very fresh, crisp, tender and refreshing, and the dipping sauce matched it well. It was so late at night that it didn't feel greasy at all.

After trying to please Jiang Ning first, Xue Yuantong could finally look directly at her mother.

"Mom, the dipping sauce you prepared is so delicious! How did you prepare it?" She began to ask for advice.

Xue Chuchu, who was peeling shrimps, moved slightly slowly, preparing to activate the steal skill.

Tongtong learned her cooking skills from Aunt Gu, which means that Aunt Gu's cooking skills must be better.

Before her mother could answer, Xue Yuantong took stock: "There are onions, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil, eh...?"

Aunt Gu: "The sesame oil you won from Teacher Qian."

Xue Yuantong: "No wonder it smells so good!"

Jiang Ning: "Teacher Qian is a great person."

"Yeah, I'll try to get some sesame oil next time when I get the chance." She was planning a bad idea.

The pork ribs from Butcher Zhang’s pig-killing stall, the sesame oil from Teacher Qian, are all rare and exquisite products, as well as the black slave Dongdong...

"By the way, Jiang Ning, how was Dongdong doing today?" Xue Yuantong asked.

After learning that there was an employee under her, she immediately assumed the role of boss.

Jiang Ning: "Lin Zida should have sent me a message, but I don't have a mobile phone in my hand."

Xue Yuantong was curious and came up with an idea: "It's simple, I'll peel the shrimp for you!"

After Jiang Ning freed her hands, she took out her mobile phone. She opened WeChat, and sure enough, Lin Zida sent a message. The first was a photo. In the photo, there were a twenty, two five-yuan banknotes, and five coins.

"I collected the money for you and I will give it to you after school tomorrow at noon." Lin Zida explained.

Xue Yuantong counted and his eyes lit up: "Wow, 35 yuan!"

"I can't spend so much on food for a day!" She beamed, feeling that her career was making steady progress.

Jiang Ning: "To be precise, it's 34 yuan and 3 cents, and I have to give Dongdong 7 cents as a reward."

Xue Yuantong felt distressed: "Why do we still have to pay wages? Can't we let him work for free?"

Jiang Ning: "You are so black-hearted."

Aunt Gu was stunned for a while and remained silent.

Xue Chuchu ate the shrimp silently, as if their oppressive behavior had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the three children eating happily, Aunt Gu did not stop in the kitchen. She went back to the house to watch TV.

After his mother left, Xue Yuantong thought: "Maybe I can buy skis if I keep saving!"

Jiang Ning looked at her: "The question is, can you ski?"

Xue Yuantong felt that she was being underestimated. She immediately stood up from the small bench, moved to the open space next to the dining table, and then demonstrated the left and right swing movements of skiing on the TV, and asked Jiang Ning: "Are you a professional?"

Jiang Ning: "Unprofessional."

Xue Yuantong twisted his small waist from side to side, like flowers swaying in the spring breeze: "Are you professional?"

Jiang Ning: "Are you a noodle?"

Xue Chuchu: "Ahem."

"Chuchu, why are you laughing? Come and show Jiang Ning!" She invited.

"Like me!" Xue Yuantong provided her with action guidance.

Xue Chuchu thought she was too crazy, so she refused weakly: "I don't want it."

Xue Yuantong was heartbroken: "Chu Chu, do you want to destroy this family?"

Xue Chuchu was accused of unfounded charges.

In order to conquer Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong kept giving Jiang Ning demonstrations, and she just twisted and twisted playfully.

Aunt Gu heard the commotion and came to visit, only to see that her daughter was mentally disturbed, while Chu Chu was a gentle lady.

In contrast, Aunt Gu's disgusted lesson: "When you have time, wipe the wall with your butt."

…

After eliminating the boiled shrimp, Jiang Ning moved his position and returned to the hut, while Tongtong followed with Chuchu.

Originally, Tongtong wanted to ask Jiang Ning to play games together, but Jiang Ning answered the phone and went out.

It took ten minutes before I came back from outside.

"Who is Jiang Ning?" Tongtong was still waiting for him.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "My mother called."

Xue Yuantong: "Oh~"

The description of Jiang Ning's parents immediately came to her mind. Well, she had never met Jiang Ning's parents.

Before Tongtong could ask, Jiang Ning talked about the content of the phone call: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are some red and white ceremonies at my house. My parents are busy in other places and have no time to go back. They asked me if I would go back to my hometown to participate."

Xue Yuantong: "Oh, do you want to go home?"

Jiang Ning: "Some people don't plan to go back, but some people need it. My aunt's son is getting married, but I look at the time and it's after the holiday. There are still about ten days."

Jiang Ning just came to the city to join his uncle. For the first fourteen years of his life, he actually lived in the countryside, where he had a complete circle of relationships.

Playmates in the village, classmates in elementary and junior high schools... After he came to the city, he had almost no contact with them, and he didn't even have contact information.

Because Jiang Ning did not have a smartphone at the time.

‘I wonder if they will recognize me when they see me again?’ Jiang Ning thought.
