Chapter 247: A Pleasant Answer(2/2)
Last time, my mother discovered that there was something wrong with the dehydration bucket 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 thrifty, so naturally they won't ask anyone to come to repair the problem.
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 quarreling.
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 nearby 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, when facing him, Xue Chuchu would feel a creeping fear.
Every time I meet her, she walks very fast and seems to be 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, I really want to go back to the countryside.'
…
"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? 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 am 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 drooped her little head and her whole body was exhausted.
After a while, a voice so weak that it was almost inaudible came out:
"Let 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, will take revenge in a hundred years.
Let’s start with not watching the stars with Jiang Ning tonight.
Of course, we still have to go to 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 pass by from time to time.
Xue Yuantong whispered in the back seat:
"They are all people who come to the little plain 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 doing small tricks 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 cope with their cash flow.
After dealing with Lin Zhongsheng, I have to take time out 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 never harm others again.
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 not happy. 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 younger customers and 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 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 off 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 too 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 a world map and the other was a map of the motherland.
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.
