Rebirth and daily cultivation

February 8th, the first day of holiday.

In the early morning, the ground was covered with frost outside.

In the house, Xue Yuantong wrapped herself in a quilt and slept comfortably until eleven o'clock.

At half past eleven, she ran to Chu Chu's house radiantly. Chu Chu was cooking in the kitchen. Jiang Ning was sitting on the stool, eating peanuts, and the earthen pot came out with an alluring aroma.

Xue Chuchu wore an apron around her waist and her face was particularly soft. She whispered: "It's almost done."

Xue Yuantong immediately took out the bowl from the cupboard and placed it on the dining table. He glanced at Jiang Ning with a bit of contempt in his eyes and hummed: "What's the use of coming early? Isn't it just that I'm not working?"

"Oh, the burden of the family is borne by me and Chu Chu~"

Jiang Ning sat upright and said calmly, "Haha, I won the ribs from Uncle Zhang."

Uncle Zhang's business was good today. The pork was sold out before 8 o'clock. He rode his Universiade motorcycle and carried fresh ribs home, preparing to prepare some delicious dishes for his son to try at noon.

Unexpectedly, when I first arrived at the bungalow, I saw my son holding a bamboo pole and fishing for the badminton ball on the roof. He failed to catch it several times in a row.

He heard Jiang Ning say next to him that instead of fishing with a bamboo pole, he would just step on the wall and go to the roof to look for it.

Although Uncle Zhang drinks alcohol, raises vicious dogs, and bullies weak neighbors, there is no doubt that he is a good father.

Uncle Zhang was very unhappy when he saw his son being tutored by Jiang Ning. My son Ruyun is a university student and will be a talent in a big city in the future. Why are you pointing fingers?

My son has lost face, I'm here to find him!

Butcher Zhang: "It sounds like you can take it off!"

In a few words, the bet was fulfilled.

Then, Jiang Ning showed them what contemporary flying over the walls is.

He tapped the wall twice with his toes, just like a dragonfly touching water. His figure instantly rose up, as if being lifted by an invisible force, he flew up to the roof and picked the badminton back.

Uncle Zhang cursed and lost two kilograms of pork ribs.

Uncle Zhang has been in the pig-butchering business for twenty years, and he brought specially reserved high-quality ribs, which are perfect for making soup.

Xue Chuchu was watching the excitement at the time. Seeing Jiang Ning win the bet, her lips pursed beautifully.

Xue Chuchu never dared to think about such outrageous things before.

For a man as fierce as Butcher Zhang, he would definitely be a domineering and overbearing figure in the village.

From ancient times to the present, in rural areas, pig butchers are not easy to bully. Being able to kill pigs means being strong and able to use a knife.

As a result, being treated honestly by a young man named Jiang Ning gave him a magical feeling.

With the ribs donated by Butcher Zhang, Xue Chuchu took out the corn grown in her hometown and stewed corn ribs soup at noon.

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong opened his eyes wide and said with great regret: "You made a bet with Uncle Zhang, why didn't you call me?"

For the first time, she hated sleeping in.

Jiang Ning: "You are still sleeping."

Xue Yuantong emphasized: "Can't you wake me up?"

Xue Chuchu spoke for him: "If I called you at that time, would it be a little deliberate?"

Jiang Ning glanced at Chu Chu with admiration in her eyes, 'Not bad, she has made progress. ’

He said he would continue to cooperate: "If Uncle Zhang cancels the bet, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

After the two people's testimonies, Xue Yuantong realized that she was hasty, but she would never apologize, so she said: "Okay, then I'll eat~"

The lunch meal included pork ribs and corn soup, stir-fried lotus root, hot shredded tripe, and several homemade steamed buns and steamed buns.

Jiang Ning took a photo and shared it with the class group.

Immediately attracting the attention of the students, Jiang Yanan said: "It looks quite rich!"

Later, Shan Kaiquan, Guo Kunnan, Cao Kun and others posted pictures of their first lunch during the winter vacation.

Lu Qiqi showed off the Western food she ate, including half-rare steak, half-rare omelette, salad...

Zhang Chi dismissed it: "Is this stuff really that delicious?"

Duan Shigang: "I looked at the runny egg yolk and felt so disgusting!"

Lu Qiqi: "Haha, what do you care about?"

Xin Youling saw that there was a tendency to quarrel and showed up in time. @江宁: "It's really good. Did you do it yourself?"

Jiang Ning: "My friend made it."

"Your friend is so good at cooking?" Xin Youling was surprised. People who can be friends with Jiang Ning should be of the same age.

Jiang Ning: "Well, her cooking skills are pretty good."

"Awesome." Xin Youling knew almost no cooking skills except that he could cook noodles and some wontons.

Even a scoundrel like Duan Shigang showed kindness to a girl who knew how to cook: "How virtuous!"

Guo Kunnan: "There are very few girls who can cook now."

The group was bragging and saying all kinds of nice things.

Xue Yuantong wasn't playing with her phone. She concentrated on cooking, took a bite of the buns, and said, "Chu Chu, the buns made by your mother are more delicious than before."

Xue Chuchu smiled: "My mother learned skills from the chef in the company."

Xue Yuantong blinked: "What kind of technique?"

"The skill of dough fermentation, my mother said that the first important thing in making steamed buns is the texture of the dough..." The two girls discussed in a chatter.

Jiang Ning tasted a piece of lotus root, which he picked from Qingyu Lake. It was very crisp and refreshing.

He drank pork ribs and corn soup again. When Jiang Ning was a child, Jiang Ning always felt that if these two things were stewed together, there would be some odor. After all, corn is sweet, and the ribs soup would be more delicious if it was made salty. Who knew that he would actually eat it? It actually blended just right.

He listened to the two girls chatting about cooking skills with great interest. Although it was related to their gluttony, it was indeed considered virtuous.

Cao Kun pointed out: “Having someone at home who can cook will greatly improve the quality of life. Even if your family only has enough food and clothing, as long as your mother is good at cooking, you will have the same food as a well-off or even middle-class family. ”

Ma Shicheng: "It's no different from a rich man."

Dong Qingfeng: "That's true. We can see it. For example, the top richest people in domestic Internet companies only have a few more dishes on their daily meals. I'm afraid there are only a few people who can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day like Lafayette."

Guo Kunnan: "This demonstrates the importance of finding a virtuous wife with good cooking skills."

Lu Qiqi just showed off her Western food and was ridiculed. She said unhappily: "What does virtuous people have to do with you?"

She spoke for the female group: "Now that society has progressed, women can make money, and their social status has improved. Why should others work and make money like you, have children, and be responsible for cooking and housework?"

"What the hell are you doing if you don't look in the mirror and see yourself?"

Lu Qiqi learned wisely and did not deny it all: "Of course, there are still gentle, virtuous and beautiful girls, but they are gradually becoming the exclusive domain of rich men. If you have the ability, you can become rich! Hahaha!"

This group ridicule was so shocking that the male classmates in the class fell silent.

Does what Lu Qiqi say make sense? There is no doubt that it makes sense.

Shan Kaiquan and the others were furious. For a moment, they couldn't think of words to refute.

Ma Shicheng: "You are right. If you want to be fair, then be completely fair. I am afraid that some people want equal work but also preferential treatment in every situation. They want to pursue independence and have a full house lease. They want to break the shackles." , and I want three gold gifts.”

Lu Qiqi did not exchange insults with Ma Shicheng because she knew she was not as good as the other person. She just said: "Haha, the future will prove who is right."

Jiang Ning silently looked at the chat history. At this time, no one except him would know how social ideology will evolve in the next 10 years from 2015. From the population of 16 million born in 2015 to 10 years from now cut in half.

How ridiculous is it that the upper class is still superior, leaving only the bottom class, fighting and hurting each other more and more fiercely?

…

afternoon.

Jiang Ning purchased two pairs of shoes online a few days ago, and the courier station sent a pickup message.

Heba Bungalow is too remote, so there is no express delivery point. He needs to ride to the city to pick up the express delivery.

Before Jiang Ning asked Tongtong if he was going, he pushed the cart to the door, only to see Tongtong blocking the way, staring at him eagerly.

"It's the first day of vacation. What are you going to do? Tell me the truth!"

Jiang Ning: "I bought you some shoes, I'll get them."

Xue Yuantong was confused for a moment, then asked with surprise and joy: "You won't lie to me, right?"

Jiang Ning patted the back seat: "Let's go!"

Xue Yuantong happily climbed onto the battery car and sat very upright. She turned her head and waved to Chu Chu: "Let's go!"

The cool-looking battery car quickly set off, and only a lonely Chuchu was left at the door of the bungalow.

Looking at their figures, Xue Chuchu felt inexplicably sad. Did she seem to be an outsider?

The battery car rushed onto the asphalt road of the river bank smoothly. Xue Yuantong pointed to the north. The Huishui River was covered with thick ice. A cordon was set up around the river, and two uniformed officers were on patrol to prevent people from going on the ice without authorization and causing accidents. .

In fact, the river is so frozen that you can drive a car...it was opened in the past two days.

As the battery car drove past the branch under construction, Xue Yuantong had a sudden thought: "Jiang Ning, you said that after the building is completed there, will there be a courier point set up?"

In that case, she and Jiang Ning could walk to the branch to pick up the express delivery.

Jiang Ning was speechless. She could still think clearly. This was a police station.

However, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that this proposal was good and could indeed save a lot of trouble. He was going to ask Shao Shuangshuang to make arrangements later.

Although I went to the city to pick up express delivery, I came here, and it was definitely not just for express delivery.

Jiang Ning first found the snack shop and took Tongtong to choose snacks. She saw the small package of peeled pecans and the crispy and sweet amber walnuts. After picking them up, she was reluctant to put them down because she thought they were too expensive.

Jiang Ning took out a red banknote: "This is Dongdong's hard-earned money, can you resist spending it?"

Xue Yuantong thought of the hatefulness of the naughty kid Dongdong, and transformed this hatefulness into banknotes, so she was finally able to buy snacks ruthlessly. In the final calculation, she actually bought 160 yuan!

Dongdong will be a black slave for two days!

The petite Tongtong was not tired at all while holding the big bag.

Passing by a fruit shop, Jiang Ning went in and picked a grapefruit, then picked up the express delivery and put everything on the battery car. Jiang Ning drove Tongtong home.

Along the way, Tongtong talked about the various snacks she bought and her fate with the snacks. Jiang Ning listened quietly.

The spiritual power blocked out the wind and was not cold at all, but as Tongtong talked, he would still reach out and straighten his scarf, just like when he was a child, his mother would help him straighten the quilt when he fell asleep.

The corners of Jiang Ning's mouth raised, and she suddenly felt so good.

Happiness does not require standing at the top and being admired by thousands of people, but more often comes from the ordinary.

The next second, Tongtong's voice came to his ears: "Jiang Ning, there is a candied haws seller, do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Ning: "..."

…

After returning home, Tongtong put the snack bag on the table, and she couldn't wait to open the outer packaging.

I found a pair of mini white shoes with a low-cut body and stitched uppers. The lines are simple and the color is pure white. They are very versatile.

Xue Yuantong has small feet and currently wears shoes of size 34. It is difficult to buy shoes in this size because the minimum size of big-name women's shoes is usually 35.5 or 36, which means she can only wear children's shoes.

After Xue Yuantong put on the shoes, he found that they fit perfectly. The lining of the shoes was very soft, very comfortable to step on, and there was no grinding feeling on the feet.

There was admiration in her eyes: "Jiang Ning, you are so good at buying shoes!"

Jiang Ning said lightly: "It's okay."

He used his spiritual consciousness to accurately measure the length of Tongtong's feet, and the shoes he bought were of course suitable.

Xue Yuantong opened another pair of shoes and found that they were much bigger. She looked at Jiang Ning with suspicious eyes and became suspicious of him.

Jiang Ning downplayed: "I guess the merchant sent the wrong size."

He took out his mobile phone and showed Tongtong the shoe size. Sure enough, he bought size 34.

Xue Yuantong suddenly said: "It turns out that the merchant sent it by mistake. He was too stupid!"

Jiang Ning looked at her silly look and didn't bother to argue with her.

He told the merchant to send the wrong one.

This pair of shoes was a bit too big. Tongtong thought of her best friend Chu Chu. She hugged the shoes and ran to Chu Chu's house to try on the shoes for Chu Chu.

…

In the afternoon, Hua Fengmei came back.

These women who had worked hard in the past were able to endure hardship better than the other. They could even work for a month without taking a break, and they could even work overtime at night...

I came back specifically tonight because I thought I would have something to do tomorrow.

I invited Tongtong and Jiang Ning from next door to dinner. After all, my daughter was taken care of by them every day.

Hua Fengmei spent money and asked the chef to help make two dishes, took them home, and cooked fish herself to entertain Jiang Ning.

At sunset, the kitchen of Hua Fengmei's house glows warmly under the illumination of incandescent lamps.

Hua Fengmei's face, which had become cold due to life, has recently regained a lot of tenderness. Her tone was gentle: "Auntie came back in a hurry today and didn't prepare a few dishes, so you can just make do with it."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's already very good."

Xue Yuantong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's delicious!"

She picked up a piece of braised beef tendon, which was soft and tasty. Xue Yuantong thought that her mother worked in such a good company and could eat such good food. She was so envious!

Xue Yuantong came up with an idea: 'In the future, I will also join Changqingye and become a big leader! ’

Hua Fengmei asked about Jiang Ning's study status, winter vacation plans, and where he was going during the New Year. She now knew that Jiang Ning's parents were the general managers of Changqing Ye in Dongjiang Province. Even if they were placed at the headquarters, they could be called senior executives.

Jiang Ning responded one by one.

The more Hua Fengmei chatted, the more she felt that Jiang Ning was a really nice young man. Hua Fengmei was a beauty, otherwise she wouldn't have married Chu Chu's father.

Jiang Ning is tall and handsome. The key is that her facial features look very comfortable, her grades are better than those of her Chu Chu family, her family conditions are good, her physical fitness is good, she is responsible and capable...it's perfect, right?

‘No wonder Sister Gu is so satisfied! ’ Hua Fengmei felt sorry.

"And Tongtong, get along well with Chuchu..." Hua Fengmei said.

Xue Chuchu knew that Tongtong was not good at dealing with her mother, so she helped and said, "Tongtong also gave me a pair of shoes today."

As she spoke, she showed off her pink and white low-top sneakers. The shoes looked particularly pure on her feet.

Xue Yuantong ate the rice without raising his head, and said in a sullen voice: "I didn't buy it, Jiang Ning bought it for you."

As soon as this was said, the dinner table suddenly fell into silence.

Hua Fengmei was stunned, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Did Jiang Ning really buy it?"
