Chapter 427 Moved by emotion

Uncle Tang did indeed lose 50 yuan playing cards last month, but unexpectedly, Xue Yuantong exposed it to his face.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. Uncle Tang was holding the fried broad beans. He had already raised his hand to eat them, but now he didn't want to eat them. He didn't want to eat them either.

Xue Chuchu noticed Uncle Tang's embarrassment, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she took the initiative to say:

"It's normal to lose 50 in playing cards. There are people in our village who lose hundreds of dollars at a time. That means they don't know how to cherish it."

Uncle Tang was silent again.

Xue Yuantong said: "Uncle Tang lost more than five hundred during the New Year."

Xue Chuchu looked embarrassed.

Uncle Tang left quietly. He was going to the dam to relax in the wind.

Jiang Ning looked at Chu Chu. She had her head buried low and her bare hands were fiddling with the corners of her clothes.

Xue Yuantong didn't notice anything unusual at all. She circled the tomatoes mixed with sugar with her chopsticks and said, "Chu Chu, try the tomatoes. It's super delicious!"

In order to cover up her embarrassment, Xue Chuchu tasted a piece. The tomatoes were very bright in color, bright red, plump in texture, and dipped in white sugar.

Xue Chuchu took a bite. It was sour and sweet, with a crisp and tender texture. Her expression immediately changed. Her cold and charming eyes were moist and brightened by the light.

Xue Yuantong was extremely satisfied when he saw Chu Chu's reaction: "Are the tomatoes Jiang Ning brought delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious." Xue Chuchu silently picked up another piece. She had never eaten such delicious tomatoes. In comparison, the cold tomatoes she had eaten before were simply not worth mentioning.

Xue Yuantong giggled twice. Jiang Ning was praised, and she was very happy. She and Jiang Ning coexisted with honor and disgrace.

After knowing the deliciousness of tomatoes, Xue Chuchu used her strong resilience to control her hand. She had to wait for Tongtong to eat two pieces, no, eat one piece, and she would eat another piece.

Soon, a plate of tomatoes was divided up.

Jiang Ning held a bowl of mung bean tea and tasted mung bean tea. He folded the dead dough pancake in half and stuffed it with a few dry-stirred loaches.

With one bite, you can taste the crispiness of the cake and the spiciness of the vegetables.

When he was about to finish his meal, the lights of two battery cars appeared in the distance. Xue Yuantong saw the light and stood up from the small bench and shouted:

"Mom, you're back!"

The light came closer, and it turned out to be Aunt Gu and Hua Fengmei.

Aunt Gu stopped the car: "It's quite late to eat today."

Xue Yuantong immediately said: "Mom, Jiang Ning touched the loach today. It was delicious. We haven't finished it yet!"

She took small steps and ran quickly into the house, carrying a bucket to show off Jiang Ning's trophies.

Aunt Gu was surprised when she saw the loaches in the bucket: "There are so many strange ones, where did you catch them?"

"The puddle in the west." Xue Yuantong said.

Aunt Gu pushed the battery car into the house. After knowing her daughter's dinner, she asked again: "What did you eat in the morning?"

Xue Yuantong: "Eating fried rice at Chu Chu's house."

"Where's lunch?" Aunt Gu continued to ask. She didn't cook at home, so she had to worry about how her daughter usually eats.

When Xue Yuantong heard this, he secretly thought something was wrong and kept signaling Jiang Ning with his eyes.

"Tongtong ate snacks in my room for half a day. She was full and didn't make lunch." Jiang Ning complained.

Xue Yuantong was stunned, and immediately became angry and aggrieved. He dared to betray himself!

Aunt Gu withdrew her eyes, showing no sign of anger. She just said gently, "I understand, you can continue eating."

After his mother entered the house, Xue Yuantong glared at Jiang Ning, "You've gone too far. I won't wash the dishes tonight."

Jiang Ning was confident: "It doesn't matter, Chu Chu can do it."

…

The next morning, at dawn, Xue Chuchu's mother, Hua Fengmei, rode to the Changqing Liquid Company.

Her job is different from Aunt Gu's. Hua Fengmei is responsible for part of the food procurement. After the suppliers arrive, she needs to be on site to coordinate the work.

Aunt Gu is a chef and is rumored to be appreciated by her boss, so she works relatively freely.

Aunt Gu didn't go that early today. She made breakfast for her daughter, including cantaloupe and cherries, hot milk, steamed sweet potatoes, fried egg pancakes, and a side of olives, green beans and minced meat.

Xue Yuantong got up after smelling the fragrance, and Aunt Gu asked her to call Chu Chu again. In the end, Jiang Ning didn't need them to call her, and came over to eat in shorts and slippers.

During the meal, Xue Chuchu said: "I heard from my mother that the company plans to hold a mid-year meeting."

Aunt Gu said: "It will be done the day after tomorrow, next Monday."

Xue Yuantong asked: "Will we go to a big hotel to eat at the mid-year party? A very big banquet hall!"

She gestured with her hands.

"The leader reportedly arranged to hold it in Nanshi." Aunt Gu said, listening to other colleagues chatting, Yuzhou is too small to find a high-end hotel.

When he heard about the hotel in Nanshi, Xue Yuantong blinked: "Mom, can I bring my family to the annual party?"

Aunt Gu saw through her daughter's thoughts: "You can't take her with you."

Xue Yuantong sighed in disappointment: "Nanshi is so far away and the weather is hot, so we can't pack it back to eat."

Aunt Gu looked at her daughter and hated her for not fighting. She ate every day, but why didn't she grow taller? Jiang Ning was much taller than her, what would she do in the future?

"I just know how to eat and eat randomly. I put your snacks and pocket money in the cabinet and locked them last night. Eat well in the past two days and stop eating snacks." Aunt Gu said.

"Ah?" Xue Yuantong's face suddenly collapsed as if he had been hit hard.

How will she spend her summer vacation without snacks?

"Mom, please leave some for me, just two bags." Xue Yuantong begged.

"Not even two bags!" Aunt Gu said firmly.

Xue Yuantong continued to beg his mother.

Aunt Gu: "Are you bargaining with me?"

Seeing this, Xue Chuchu changed the subject: "I heard from my mother that there will be a lottery in the middle of the year. I don't know what I can get this time."

Talking about the lottery, Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Our soymilk machine won two to three thousand yuan in the last lottery."

…

After breakfast, Aunt Gu went to work and Xue Chuchu went home to study.

Xue Yuantong glared at Jiang Ning: "Ignore you!"

It was all his fault that he ended up with no snacks to eat.

When Jiang Ning heard this, she went home and took a nap.

Seeing him walking away lightly, Xue Yuantong became even more angry.

When Jiang Ning returned home, she received a letter of decision from her:

"I cook for you every day, make your bed, wash your clothes, and exercise on the computer for you... You actually complained to my mother! Well, since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust! I will let you know that your choice is

What a mistake!"

After Xue Yuantong sent the message, she immediately turned off the wifi, because the wifi she was using now belonged to Jiang Ning, and she should disconnect it completely!

Xue Yuantong was playing games in her room, and time passed by. At 10 o'clock, Xue Yuantong was usually eating snacks at this time, but now that she had no snacks, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She ran to look for snacks and found that they were gone. When she went to the cabinet, a lock blocked her clutches.

'According to my judgment, my mother will never bring the keys to the company. She must have hidden the keys somewhere. I know everything about the house.'

'Especially where mum always hides her keys!'

While she was doing it, Xue Yuantong began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to carry out her plan to find the key.

First she searched behind the TV, then in the big closet, then in the bedside, in the shoebox, and in every place she could think of, but she couldn't find the key that her mother had hidden.

On the contrary, it was because of all the hard work that Xue Yuantong was tired.

Without snacks, Xue Yuantong's life seems meaningless. It's not like before when she couldn't afford snacks.

The current situation is that the snacks are in front of her, but she can't get them. This is the biggest tragedy!

Xue Yuantongsheng lay helplessly on the bed, thinking about her boring life.

Really unable to find it, she subconsciously sent a message to Jiang Ning: "Hurry up and help me find the key. As long as you find the key, I won't hold you responsible!"

Jiang Ning: "Don't just want to eat, read more books."

Xue Yuantong: "I won't!"

Jiang Ning gave up communicating with her and continued to play with the wood. He was holding a small piece of wood. It was black walnut, shaped like a ruler, and only less than ten centimeters.

Jiang Ning used a carving knife to carve it carefully, and veins appeared on the surface of the wood piece, just like the meridians of the human body.

After a while, Jiang Ning put down the wood chips and walked out the door. The sun was getting strong. He looked at the two rows of trees to the south of the open space and suddenly had a new idea.

In the past summer, Jiang Ning liked to enjoy the shade under the trees. He had always wanted to make a swing on which he could sleep, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
