Rebirth and daily cultivation

April 5th, Qingming Festival.

sunny.

Xue Yuantong uncharacteristically did not sleep in and got up early.

River dam, sunrise in the early morning, the grass and trees are shining.

Compared with the urban area, there is no dust from the roads or car exhaust around the bungalow, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

Unbeknownst to Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning used various means to drive away the surrounding small black workshops and factories and protect the nearby natural environment.

Xue Yuantong opened the door, stepped on his slippers, stretched out his arms, and stretched his body.

She went to the sink, got a glass of water, and brushed her teeth.

After brushing her teeth, she wiped her face with warm water, and then took out a cyan jade bottle.

This is the bottle Jiang Ning gave her, saying it contains skin care products.

Xue Yuantong didn't know that this was the "indestructible frost" refined by Jiang Ning using lotus seeds from Linghe and more than ten kinds of spiritual objects.

If ordinary people insist on applying it, they can keep their appearance from aging, which is similar to the effect of "Yanzhuan Dan".

She opened the lid and poured out some milky, viscous liquid that resembled milk.

Xue Yuantong had never seen such a thing. She heard from Jiang Ning that applying a little to the face after washing her face every day can nourish the skin and make the face whiter and more tender.

Although Xue Yuantong's face was super tender, she still listened to Jiang Ning honestly. She didn't care about the beauty effect, she just felt that after applying it on her face, she felt very comfortable.

Moreover, as long as Jiang Ning said it, she would bravely try.

Not to mention smearing the liquid in the bottle, she was willing to try even swallowing it.

Anyway, Jiang Ning would not lie to her most of the time.

And with her intelligence, there was no way Jiang Ning could hide her plan from her.

After Xue Yuantong washed his face, he first put the towel on the hanger and then hung it on the clothesline.

Then, she ran into the bedroom, and soon, a soft quilt came out of the door.

She specifically asked Jiang Ning last night. It was a sunny day, which was perfect for sunbathing.

And when the sun is out until noon, putting the hot quilt back on the bed, lying down and feeling the warm quilt is definitely the most comfortable thing.

After doing this, Xue Yuantong finally left the door.

She was not going to have breakfast in the morning because Jiang Ning said last night that she would prepare something delicious for her at noon today, something more delicious than sheep. Xue Yuantong was looking forward to it and had an empty stomach to prepare for the noon battle.

Xue Yuantong faces the fields and has a wide view. The weather is so good.

It's already spring, and summer is coming soon. It's wonderful to be able to eat a big watermelon at the door.

Xue Yuantong came next door and knocked on Jiang Ning's door.

No one responded.

So she pushed forward and the door opened.

She rushed all the way to Jiang Ning's bedroom and looked down at Jiang Ning sleeping on the bed.

‘He is still sleeping, doesn’t he know the importance of today? ’

She made an appointment with Jiang Ning to go to Heba for a picnic in the morning, and she also wanted to take Chu Chu with her.

It turned out that it was already half past seven, and Jiang Ning hadn't gotten up yet.

"Jiang Ning, you disappoint me so much." Xue Yuantong hated him for not arguing.

Jiang Ning lay on the bed, closing her eyes and ignoring her.

Late last night, he went to Huqi Mountain to refine a batch of cultivation elixirs. By the way, he discussed with Shao Shuangshuang the future development plan of Evergreen Liquid Company.

After returning, he refined his consciousness. At three o'clock in the morning, his chemistry teacher sent him a WeChat message, complaining about the troubles between his colleagues in the school and his future views on marriage and life.

Teacher Guo Ran took good care of him in the past. Solving problems and solving problems is what a student should do, besides just listening.

We chatted until 5:30 in the morning, and then Geng Lu came to him and said that she was going to give him a surprise this morning.

Geng Lu took a full-body photo and sent it to her. She was wearing something cooler than what she wore at school, which fully highlighted her figure, and asked him if he looked good.

Jiang Ning is not the kind of person who likes to delay messages without replying, so he chatted with Geng Lu for a while. Unexpectedly, Geng Lu called and talked for an hour, and he hung up the phone not long ago.

It's not that Jiang Ning is tired. With his physical strength and mental strength, even if it happens several times more, he still won't be tired. It's just that he prefers purity to being noisy.

"Jiang Ning, are you going to have a picnic?" Xue Yuantong asked him.

Jiang Ning gave her a few perfunctory words.

Xue Yuantong was not an idiot. She saw Jiang Ning's carelessness.

She was extremely distressed. Even last night, she said she would go to the market to buy vegetables with her, but this morning her face changed.

Could it be that Jiang Ning's promise to her couldn't last even one night?

So sad.

She goes shopping by herself!

However, Xue Yuantong was not a person in a hurry. She went to Jiang Ning's bed and grabbed a blanket, then jumped into the sofa.

The warm sunlight shines into the house, making the room warm and bright.

Xue Yuantong shrank into the sofa, facing the bed, and stared at Jiang Ning fiercely.

She wanted Jiang Ning to see how vicious her eyes were!

This is a look that scares a child so much that he dares not speak!

She could still recall that when she was six years old, there was a wild cat in the village that would scratch anyone she saw. That day, when the cat provoked her, Xue Yuantong glared at the wild cat with the ferocious look at the moment, causing the wild cat to flee in embarrassment.

This is her Xue Yuantong's intimidating power.

However, her staring face was almost stiff, and Jiang Ning was still sleeping with her eyes closed.

hateful!

Xue Yuantong picked up the phone bitterly, but Jiang Ning broke her promise and repeatedly treated her.

It’s okay not to get together for this picnic!

Behind Jiang Ning's back, she secretly sent a message to Chu Chu:

"Chu Chu, Jiang Ning is still sleeping in. He clearly promised yesterday to accompany me to the market to buy vegetables."

"He lied to me and I'm so sad. What should I do?"

"So sad."

Downtown on the other side.

Xue Chuchu stood next to the washing machine, with a plain white face and a cold temperament. She was wearing a white coat and light blue jeans. The pants were slim and tight, wrapping up the curvature of her slender and attractive calves.

After Xue Chuchu heard the phone ring, she put down what she was doing and took out the phone from her pocket.

In order to save data, she would not turn on the network switch to prevent some rogue applications from stealing her data.

One time she neglected to turn off the Internet and stole a lot of data from her package in one night. Xue Chuchu was heartbroken.

She even contacted Xue Yuantong specifically to learn how to prevent apps from stealing her data.

Even though she learned that trick, Xue Chuchu still turned off the Internet habitually. Today, it was because she had made a picnic appointment with Xue Yuantong in advance that she kept her data turned on.

Now seeing the news about Tongtong, Xue Chuchu replied to her:

"It's okay, I'll go shopping with you."

Xue Yuantong over there said immediately:

"You don't have to come here, I want him, wuwuwu!"

Xue Chuchu was well informed and explained to Jiang Ning:

"He must have been tired last night. Didn't you say that he is usually very busy? It's possible that he was busy yesterday for today's picnic."

Xue Yuantong: "Don't speak for him. It's useless. I hate him."

Xue Chuchu didn't want to reply, she was tired.

She looked at the large bottle of Coke placed on the dining table. It was a drink she bought in advance after learning about the picnic, and it cost ten yuan.

Xue Chuchu had never had a picnic before and didn't know what to prepare. She even searched online a few days ago and said she was preparing sushi rice balls. She originally wanted to learn how to make them, but she was worried that Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning wouldn't like them.

At first she planned to buy some fruits, but Xue Yuantong showed off the fruits she ate that day, and Xue Chuchu gave up.

So, she only had a bottle of Coke, and Xue Chuchu secretly decided that if she needed to work during the picnic, she would do more work, and she would never take advantage of Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning.

Seeing that Tongtong didn't look for her, Xue Chuchu thought that it shouldn't have been a big deal just now, and Tongtong must have just had a little temper.

She continued to check the fault of the washing machine.

She and her mother rented a house. The washing machine was not a fully automatic one, but an old-fashioned washing machine with a large and a small bucket. The big bucket was used for washing clothes, and the small bucket was used for dehydration.

Xue Chuchu rarely uses a washing machine. She washes almost all her clothes by hand. She only uses the washing machine to help with large clothes.

Last time, my mother discovered that there was something wrong with the dehydration barrel of the washing machine, and there was an abnormal sound when it was rotating, but she couldn't find out what the problem was.

Their family is used to being frugal, so naturally they won't ask anyone to come to the house for repairs.

Although her mother's current salary is quite good, she still maintains a frugal living habit. Today is Qingming Festival, and her mother did not take a break in order to triple her salary, but went to the company to help.

Xue Chuchu took a flashlight and looked into the washing machine and found that something seemed to be blocked inside.

Just as she was about to look for something, there was a commotion outside the house.

Listen carefully, it seems like two men are arguing.

Xue Chuchu looked helpless. In the unit building next to her, a young man and an old man had recently had a conflict over their pet dogs. They had been arguing for several days. I heard they almost started fighting.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, they would curse each other through the window. Xue Chuchu had never seen such a person before.

The only thing she knew was that those two people were not good people.

Someone in the neighborhood told me before that there were two female students renting a house in that building. The young man knocked on the door in the middle of the night, which frightened the two female students and moved out within a few days.

And the old man was even weirder. Xue Chuchu met him several times, and the old man hung around with a billiard cue all day long. For some reason, Xue Chuchu would have a creepy fear when facing him.

Every time we meet, she walks very fast, as if she is running away.

Xue Chuchu sometimes feels weird about the people she meets. The people she met before were obviously very kind, but since she entered high school and came to Yuzhou City to study, her situation has changed.

First, she encountered netizens who stole her QQ account and threatened her personally.

Then came the two people in this neighborhood, one more terrifying than the other.

She thought leisurely: ‘The city is so dangerous, and I really want to go back to the countryside. ’

…

"Recruit me truthfully, what did you do behind my back last night!"

Xue Yuantong slapped the armrest of the sofa, as if he was interrogating Jiang Ning, and he was full of air.

Jiang Ning lazily got up from the bed and lifted the quilt directly. Xue Yuantong didn't have time to exclaim and quickly covered his eyes.

Two seconds later, she said, "What? It turns out I'm wearing clothes."

Jiang Ning: "Why did you find out so quickly?"

"Of course it's because I secretly... secretly guessed it in my heart." Xue Yuantong argued.

Jiang Ning sat on the edge of the bed, close to the sofa.

Xue Yuantong regained his dignity, slapped the sofa again, and shouted:

"Jiang Ning, from now on, you have no right to remain silent. Everything you say may become evidence in court."

She is no longer Xue Yuantong, a freshman in high school, she is the super top invincible judge, and Jiang Ning is her big criminal.

Jiang Ning asked: "Then what crime did I commit?"

"I'm here to tell you that you have committed the crime of lying in bed." Xue Yuantong made up the charges and accused him.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but grin, and he said nonchalantly:

"I'm not guilty."

"No, if I say you are guilty, you are guilty!" Xue Yuantong is the rule maker.

"Oh?" Jiang Ning looked at her tense and serious expression with a smile. Then, Jiang Ning put her hand on the sofa and accidentally covered Xue Yuantong's little hand.

Xue Yuantong instantly felt a warmth. Jiang Ning was squeezing her hand. It was not only hot, but also a little itchy.

Xue Yuantong's face was stunned. She made a gesture to pull out her hand, but she couldn't pull it out.

The room was extremely quiet. She looked into Jiang Ning's eyes and looked at him for a few seconds. For some reason, she suddenly became shy and did not dare to look at him again.

She lowered her little head, and her whole body was exhausted.

After a while, a voice so thin that it was almost inaudible came out:

"Let it go, bad guy."

"Hahaha." Jiang Ning laughed. She was indeed a coward again.

Only then did he move his hand away.

When Xue Yuantong heard the laughter, he immediately raised his head and became angry:

"Jiang Ning!"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Where were you last night?" She put her hands into her pockets and asked bravely.

Jiang Ning said seriously: "I'm going to eliminate the aliens who invaded our territory."

"You're lying. There are no aliens in the world." Xue Yuantong is not a child, and she will never be deceived by Jiang Ning again.

Jiang Ning asked her: "Have you ever seen aliens?"

"No."

Jiang Ning said: "So, there is no need to thank me."

…

Jiang Ning still did not plead guilty in the end, and Xue Yuantong was furious. However, she, Tongtong, would take revenge in a hundred years.

Let’s start with not watching the stars with Jiang Ning tonight.

Of course, we still have to have the picnic in the morning.

She rode Jiang Ning's mountain bike and drove to the market together.

They were going to a large market to purchase the dishes needed for the morning picnic, and then went to the small plain on the Heba side for a picnic with Xue Chuchu.

On the flat road in Heba, cars, sedans, SUVs, and station wagons drove past from time to time.

Xue Yuantong whispered in the back seat:

"These are people who come to the Little Plains to camp."

Jiang Ning has been to the small plain below the river dam. It is said to be a small plain, but in fact it is just a flat land with a lot of green grass below the river dam.

The ground is rectangular, about the size of two and a half football fields.

The riverside environment is better than the city park environment. Today is the Qingming Festival, so it is naturally easier to attract people to play.

"Let's buy quickly and get a good place later." Xue Yuantong said, it's not even eight o'clock yet, so they should arrive before nine-thirty.

While Jiang Ning was riding his bicycle, he made some plans for today's trip. After buying groceries, he flew to Huqi Mountain to catch the rabbit, and then brought some fruits to the villa.

Tonight, we will fly to Ancheng to teach Lin Zhongsheng Group a lesson. After all this time, the other party is still unwilling to let go of Changqing Liquid Company, and is still making small moves behind the scenes to intercept the materials collected by Hu Shao Shuangshuang.

However, as the team formed by Shao Shuangshuang becomes more and more complete, Lin Zhongsheng Group can collect less and less materials. They are now unable to meet their cash flow requirements.

After dealing with Lin Zhongsheng, I still have to find time in the evening to deal with the old man who tricked the little boy into his house last night. It is best to destroy him so that he can no longer harm others.

Jiang Ning briefly sensed the spiritual mark and found that the target was still wandering in the city center.

Yes, Jiang Ning is very satisfied.

He locked his mountain bike outside the market and walked into the market with Xue Yuantong. Jiang Ning rarely spoke, and Xue Yuantong basically picked the vegetables alone.

He occasionally said which dish to buy.

Xue Yuantong negotiated prices with the market aunt. When some stall owners saw that the two were young, they often quoted a slightly higher price.

Xue Yuantong was unhappy. She knew the prices of various vegetables quite well, not to mention that with Jiang Ning by her side, she was very confident in bargaining.

For example, some stall owners often quote more than half the price when facing young customers, but underweight.

Many young people are usually busy and cook only once in a while. It is difficult for them to understand the current vegetable prices. If they go to some vegetable markets with unsophisticated folk customs, they will inevitably be ripped off.

As a result, many people who have been cheated when buying food no longer go to the market to buy food, but go directly to the supermarket where the price is clearly marked anyway.

Xue Yuantong bought groceries quickly, and Jiang Ning carried part of it for her.

After leaving the market, Xue Yuantong sent a message to Xue Chuchu and asked her what time she would get together.

At this moment, in Xue Chuchu's house, the washing machine was spinning, cleaning the sheets and quilts, making an obvious buzzing sound.

Xue Chuchu was sitting in the bedroom, with the Chinese language book flat on the girl's lap. She was holding the phone, hesitant to let Xue Yuantong come over.

Although the house she rented was tidy, it was very shabby. The white wall covering on the ceiling was cracked. Because it was on the top floor, the cracked wall covering would fall down if it rained heavily.

In windy weather, the windows always make a trembling sound.

Her mother went to the landlord several times, but the landlord always said he was busy.

The only thing that made Xue Chuchu feel warm was that there were two large maps on the wall opposite the bed, one was the world map and the other was the motherland map.

When she was tired from studying, she often looked up at the two maps.

The city of Yuzhou where she is located is just an extremely tiny dot on the entire map.

Xue Chuchu sometimes thinks: "Is the world really that big?"
