Rebirth and daily cultivation

Cloudy, freezing rain.

The cool girl is waiting on the platform.

Xue Chuchu originally thought that she would wait for the next bus, or get off work, or even later.

She had been mentally prepared for a long time, but at this moment, Jiang Ning disturbed the chaotic crowd and appeared in front of her.

It was very cold and it was raining. I don't know whether it was because Xue Chuchu didn't dare to look closely or it was because of the rain. Jiang Ning's face was looming, except for a pair of ink-like eyes, which was unforgettable at first sight.

Behind him, Xue Yuantong stuck his head out, hiding his palm-sized face under his hat, and shouted excitedly: "Chu Chu, go home!"

Xue Yuantong admired Chu Chu's surprised expression and felt secretly happy, feeling a sense of accomplishment that she had saved Chu Chu from the danger of fire and water!

"Ah?" Xue Chuchu didn't expect Jiang Ning to come at all, because there had never been such a precedent.

The state of mind at this moment was like the countless times she had walked forward in the rain, alone and endlessly long, when suddenly someone came to pick her up.

Xue Chuchu carefully picked up her steps and walked to the titanium gray battery car.

Tongtong put a sticker on Jiang Ning, "No, there's still room!"

Jiang Ning casually took off Tongtong's raincoat and handed it to Chu Chu: "Put it on and I will cover Tongtong later."

Xue Chuchu: "...Yeah"

After finishing dressing up, Xue Chuchu got on the battery car.

Jiang Ning turned the switch in front of everyone, and the angular body of the battery car pierced the wind and rain again and drove towards the white street in the distance.

At the entrance of the small supermarket diagonally opposite the bus stop, a boy wearing an Adidas brand jacket was chatting with his classmates. His eyes glanced at the bus stop from time to time. When he saw the beautiful figure being picked up, he was greatly shocked. Shock.

The girl wearing black-rimmed glasses with very thick lenses noticed the change in Jin Yuanhang: "What's wrong?"

Jin Yuanhang laughed dryly: "It's okay."

He and Xue Chuchu are classmates and know each other's personalities well. Except for Mu Ying in the class, they usually live alone.

It was raining outside today. After he learned that Chu Chu was not riding a bicycle, he wanted to find a chance, but he kept looking and looking. He was still looking, but unexpectedly he was picked up.

Jin Yuanhang: ‘Damn! ’

When the cool-looking battery car passed by the supermarket, the cold wind blew Xue Chuchu's hair, and the messy long hair was flying freely. Not only was she not embarrassed, but she looked even more beautiful and refined.

Jin Yuanhang was so sore that he walked away with his head sullenly.

The female classmate with black-rimmed glasses who was talking to him just now shouted: "Hey, where are you going?"

Jin Yuanhang walked forward. He waved his hands and said in a muffled voice: "Don't miss me, I'm going on a long voyage..."

The female classmate with black-rimmed glasses burst out laughing and quickly caught up with him with her schoolbag: "You are walking so fast, wait for me!"

…

Jiang Ning's battery car is very warm. This is how Xue Chuchu felt after getting on the car.

Secondly, Xue Chuchu, who is very stable and often rides to school, knows very well how easy it is for a battery bike to slip in this kind of weather. However, at this moment, she did not feel any signs of the wheels sliding out of control.

She suddenly remembered that Tongtong had whispered to her before, claiming that he was the big leader.

Xue Chuchu then asked her, why did she say that?

Tongtong said that many senior leaders have full-time drivers, and those drivers drive very smoothly. Senior leaders do not feel bumps. But when she took Jiang Ning's battery car, there was no bumps either. Calculated, she is a senior leader.

At that time, Xue Chuchu only regarded it as a joke, but now that he sat down in person, he realized that Tongtong was not joking.

In addition, Jiang Ning was riding so fast that he was almost touching the ground. The scenery on both sides was rapidly retreating. Cars and buses could not even touch the shadow of the battery car.

The usually nearly twenty-minute journey seemed to be condensed into just a few minutes. Suddenly, Jiang Ning's clear voice came to Xue Chuchu's ears: "Hold tight."

Xue Chuchu subconsciously hugged Tongtong.

Then, the wheels suddenly stopped, and due to the inertia, the car body threw an elegant arc on the ice. From the intersection of Nanhong Road, there was a gorgeous big drift, and it was thrown into Heba Road.

In the crisis, Xue Chuchu pinched Tongtong, but Tongtong didn't take it seriously. She shouted:

"Hahahaha, Chuchu, look at how timid you are!"

When the inertia gradually disappeared and the battery car stopped for a second, Jiang Ning turned off the switch, and the motor drove the rear wheels to rotate wildly, buzzing into the eastern wind and rain.

Behind, a taxi was driving slowly. The middle-aged male driver witnessed this scene with his own eyes and was stunned!

Middle-aged male driver: "Holding grass, incredible skills!"

He said to the passenger in the back seat: "Sister, did you see that there was a battery car floating so cool just now?"

In the back seat of the taxi, there is a passenger who is wearing a sleeveless down jacket and is exquisitely dressed. Even if she is wearing a mask, she can still be seen as a beautiful woman.

She heard the driver's words and said casually: "Oh, battery car?"

She glanced out the car window: "Riding a scooter in this weather..."

She didn't say the next words, but the contempt in her words was extremely obvious.

The middle-aged male driver has been a taxi driver for half his life, so he can naturally understand the young woman's thoughts. He lost interest in conversation and exclaimed to himself: "His grandma is so handsome!"

The driver's excitement felt like he was back when he was sixteen. He subconsciously turned the steering wheel, the car suddenly floated, and the female passenger in the back seat screamed and fell to the seat.

This scream immediately brought the driver back to reality. He was withdrawn from his dream, faced the hardships of life again, and quickly made peace:

"Little girl, sit still, the floor is slippery!"

The road to the dam was extremely smooth. When Jiang Ning was going downhill, she performed a drifting downhill move. Chuchu hugged Tongtong tightly again. Tongtong was strangled by her and complained to Jiang Ning about Chuchu.

Xue Chuchu felt guilty and slightly embarrassed.

The bungalow was cold and rainy.

The loving mother leaned on the door, and the wandering son suffered on the road.

When the familiar electric car appeared, Aunt Gu felt relieved. She saw that the electric car today was a little different from the past. Xue Chuchu took off her hat and showed her face.

A very pretty girl, but it was a pity that she was not Tongtong from her family. Before Aunt Gu could be confused, Tongtong popped out from the bottom of the raincoat and smiled: "Mom, I'm back!"

Aunt Gu glared at her: "I thought it was a gift!"

"Humph, I am the soul of the whole car, Jiang Ning is the groom, Chuchu is the goods, may I ask, mom, who am I?" Xue Yuantong asked proudly.

Aunt Gu rubbed her little ears, which were warm. Jiang Ning took good care of her daughter.

Aunt Gu taught her: "You are a donkey pulling a cart."

Xue Chuchu's mouth curved slightly, and she envied the affection between Tongtong and Aunt Gu. Her own mother rarely joked with her like this.

Xue Yuantong sniffed her little nose and smelled the steamed buns in the house. Her eyes lit up: "I'm tired of pulling the cart. I want to eat 8 buns!"

Aunt Gu: "Raising pigs!"

While saying this, she pulled her daughter's arm and sent her to the kitchen, and said: "Jiang Ning, Chuchu, you also come to eat some buns."

Jiang Ning: "I'll go home and clean up."

Tongtong yelled: "Come and eat! I'll clean up for you!"

Now Jiang Ning eats three meals a day at Tongtong's house. It has long been a family treatment. It is very rare to rent a house to this extent.

Jiang Ning parked the car and found Tongtong's kitchen. The firewood in the stove was burning, and the whole house was filled with fragrance.

Tongtong sat on a bench and ate steamed buns and drank sweet soup.

"My mother made several kinds of steamed buns today!" Xue Yuantong introduced, "There are leeks, vermicelli and eggs, cabbage and pork, tofu and mushroom stuffing, and shrimp and meat buns!"

"Let me tell you, shrimp and meat buns are delicious!" Tongtong took a big bite.

Prawns are very expensive and much rarer than pork. In the past, the family had no money and could not afford to use shrimp stuffing. Now, with Aunt Gu's "hard work", the Xue family now has savings, and Tongtong's college money has been saved. Isn't life getting better and better?

Tongtong grabbed a shrimp bun for Jiang Ning. Because the bun had just come out of the pot, it was so hot that it jumped in Tongtong's hand.

Jiang Ning took the bun with Tongtong's handprint and took a bite. The dough was fluffy and soft, and the shrimp was fresh and the meat stuffing was mellow, hot and mixed together.

It was snowing outside again. Staying in the small house, eating homemade buns, and drinking a big mouthful of sour and sweet pineapple and white fungus soup, I felt very solid in my heart. This is the warmth that a wanderer working in a foreign land can never experience.

Xue Yuantong finished a palm-sized bun. She took a small steamed bun basket, put three buns in it, covered it with a cage cloth to keep it warm, and ran outside to enjoy it with Chuchu.

Teacher Qian was sitting at the door, drinking porridge with porridge. He used chopsticks to stir the pickled mustard in the bowl, frowning, turning his head from time to time, looking at the Xiao Gu family next door.

Since Xiao Gu moved to Heba, he can eat the New Year's goods given by Xiao Gu's family every year, including buns, steamed buns, sugar cakes, burnt leaves, glutinous rice strips... and even rice dumplings...

In the past two years, there have been fewer, especially this year. As Xiao Jiang next door became more and more arrogant, he didn't get anything this year, and even lost the sesame oil he asked others to squeeze!

The steamed buns in the earthen pot in the countryside are very fragrant, and there is no range hood. Once the lid is opened, a pot full of freshly steamed buns will be seen. As soon as the steam rises, the neighbors can smell the fragrance.

When I think of Xiao Gu's skill in steaming buns, it is really rare for anyone to eat them!

Teacher Qian is very greedy. Xiao Gu's steamed buns are made of real ingredients, hygienic, and green without additives. Who doesn't like them?

In previous years, Xiao Gu would send a basket of big buns. Teacher Qian would save some and eat one per meal, which could last for several days.

'It's strange, no more gifts?' Teacher Qian didn't get any advantage, and felt very uncomfortable.

Just as Teacher Qian was scratching his head, he suddenly saw Tongtong holding a small steamed bun basket and coming to the east.

Teacher Qian was overjoyed, and quickly stood up with the bowl, saying excitedly: "Hey, Tongtong, you are finally here. I thought there would be no buns to eat this year!"

He glanced at the size of the steamed bun basket, frowned again, and taught: "I am not saying anything bad about you, Tongtong, your basket is a little small, not big enough..."

Xue Yuantong looked at him strangely, turned around and walked into Chuchu's house.

Teacher Qian's words stopped abruptly.

"No...you...I..." Teacher Qian stuttered, and his words were not smooth.

He was depressed and continued to drink porridge. Soon, Tongtong and Chuchu went out together, returned to the door of the house, watched the snow outside, and enjoyed the buns.

Teacher Qian couldn't help it, he came over and asked: "Tongtong, is there no buns in my family this year?"

Xue Yuantong asked knowingly: "Do you want to eat?"

Teacher Qian: "You must want to eat!"

Xue Yuantong snorted in his heart. He used to send buns to Teacher Qian's house every year, but in return, he was bullied and ridiculed by others for orphans and widows.

She replied: "You want to eat buns, why don't you make them yourself? Don't you know how to make them?"

Teacher Qian choked.

He was anxious!

Teacher Qian said hurriedly: "I know your buns, they are delicious! My family doesn't have the means, right? How about this, you ask your mother to make some buns for me, and I'll pay you!"

"The steamed buns sold in restaurants outside cost one yuan each. We are neighbors. How about you charge the cost price, 30 cents each? I will give you 10 yuan now, and you can steam 30 steamed buns for me, and you will get the remaining 1 yuan. , it’s hard work!”

Even the diligent and thrifty Chu Chu found this price a bit difficult to bear.

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong curled his lips: "Are you still alive in the Qing Dynasty?"

Xue Chuchu answered subconsciously: "The Qing Dynasty is dead."

After finishing speaking, she felt a little embarrassed.

Teacher Qian's face straightened and he said solemnly: "As neighbors, shouldn't we charge the cost price? You can't be too greedy."

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong thought for a while and said, "Teacher Qian, you are right."

Teacher Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled broadly: "Okay, when you finish steaming the buns, I will get you the money!"

This trick of receiving the goods first and then giving the money really made Xue Chuchu gain experience.

Xue Yuantong: "Okay, wait for you!"

Teacher Qian went home satisfied and waited for the steamed buns to be steamed. He had spent money now. Teacher Qian warned: "I want pork stuffed buns, so wrap more pork."

Xue Yuantong: "Just wait and see!"

Tongtong ran back to the house, found Jiang Ning and her mother, and told them about Teacher Qian's request for steamed buns.

Aunt Gu has a lot of dislike for Teacher Qian. She has given her many things over the years, but she has not received any care for her daughter in exchange.

Aunt Gu is from the countryside, a kind-hearted woman in the traditional sense. Her study of human hearts is relatively simple, and she doesn’t have any sophisticated methods for building a good relationship. She follows the idea that if I treat you better, you will be better to me. , it is a pity that the river dam is not safe, and people's hearts are sinister.

Aunt Gu: "Let him wait!"

Xue Yuantong: "Humph, that's right!"

Xue Yuantong was mostly full of two big buns. She filled a bowl of pineapple soup and ran to the door to drink. Jiang Ning joined her.

Next door, Butcher Zhang was sitting at the door drinking a bottle of white wine and gnawing on big bones.

In the great cold season, after drinking strong wine, Butcher Zhang shouted: "Happy!"

Wine strengthens one's courage. Butcher Zhang looked at Jiang Ning who was drinking soup next door and shouted: "Xiao Jiang, come and have some wine with your uncle!"

Xue Yuantong immediately grabbed Jiang Ning. She didn't want Jiang Ning to drink. Butcher Zhang was drunk and liked to act drunk, which was scary!

Jiang Ning waved her hand: "No."

Butcher Zhang: "Young man, what kind of man is he if he doesn't drink? Come and do it!"

Jiang Ning said: "When your family Ruyun goes on winter vacation, I will have a drink with him."

Butcher Zhang's face changed. He drinks every day, so he naturally knows that wine is not a good thing. He will never let his son touch a sip of wine. When it comes to his only son, Butcher Zhang shouted: "Haha, you are kidding me!"

He stopped inviting drinks.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw the ice on Butcher Zhang's roof.

The so-called ice slips are when the snow on the eaves melts into water and freezes into icicles as it flows downward. The vertebrae hang downward on the edge of the eaves. There are many such things in Huizhou Province in the north.

Jiang Ning reminded: "Uncle Zhang, it's time to clean up the ice on your head. Don't let it fall and hit you."

Butcher Zhang laughed loudly: "Can this thing hurt me?"

"You young people are so afraid of death!"

Jiang Ning made a casual stroke, and a piece of ice came off the eaves, hitting Butcher Zhang hard on the head.

The pain made Butcher Zhang scream in pain, the wine bottle was knocked over, and the big bone fell out of his hand. The big wolf dog Xiao Ben went up and took the bone away.
