August 24, 7:30 am.

The train announcement sounded, and the train from Hohhot to Shencheng was about to stop at Yuzhou Station.

In the high-end soft sleeper compartment, Xue Yuantong looked at Yuzhou City, feeling warm in his heart, the place where he felt at home.

"Jiang Ning, let's take a taxi back!" She came back this time without telling her mother.

Xue Yuantong is preparing to give her mother a surprise.

"No need to take a taxi, my cousin will pick us up." Jiang Ning said.

When Jiang Junlong learned that he had returned from traveling, he made a reservation in advance to pick him up at the station. Now at the end of August, even Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School has given students a holiday.

Tongtong also said the day before yesterday that when she returned to Heba, she would not be able to see Chu Chu immediately because the peanuts in their village were ripe. Chu Chu went back to the village to collect peanuts and would not come back until the busy farming season was over.

…

Outside the station, Xue Yuantong asked: "When will your cousin come?"

Jiang Ning said: "It will probably take a while, let's find some food."

They took the train at around 10 o'clock yesterday morning and stayed on the train for almost a whole day without having a proper meal.

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong clapped his hands in agreement.

Jiang Ning looked into the distance and cooperated with his spiritual scanning to identify a store.

Xue Yuantong followed briskly.

Before 8 o'clock, it was dinner time. It rained lightly in Yuzhou last night, the ground was a little damp, and the temperature had not yet risen.

They walked through familiar streets and alleys.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Ning stood in front of a store with "Huang's Shaobing" written on it.

One morning a few months ago, Jiang Ning went to the hospital to treat the young man who rode a motorcycle and besieged Yang Sheng that night. After that, he packed breakfast in this store.

In the store, two women were busy, the middle-aged woman who was pasting the biscuits, and another woman who was about 18 or 19 years old, thin and frail, helping.

Jiang Ning shouted: "Two bowls of chicken egg soup and 7 sesame seed cakes."

After hearing this, the girl looked at Jiang Ning. Her mind was in a trance. She was stunned and suddenly recalled that a few months ago, she came back from school to recuperate and helped her family in the store.

However, that morning, a young man with an extremely unworldly temperament came into the store. Even after several months, she still had an impression.

"Oh." The girl's face no longer looked sick as it was a few months ago, and she asked:

"Are you packing it or taking it away?"

Now, it was Xue Yuantong's turn to be dumbfounded. She took a look inside the store and saw that there were still a few empty tables.

The girl thought the boy hadn't heard, so she slightly raised her voice:

"Excuse me, do you want to pack it or take it away?"

Jiang Ning: “Can I eat here?”

…………

The thin girl realized something. She looked embarrassed and hurriedly apologized: "Okay, okay, you can eat here."

Jiang Ning nodded: "That's fine."

The thin girl skillfully cracked two eggs, smashed them, then scooped up the hot chicken soup with a spoon, poured it on the egg liquid, and the high temperature instantly cooked the eggs.

She did the same for the second bowl, and then laughed: "Put less coriander, right?"

Jiang Ning: "Yes."

He didn't expect that the other party would still remember his preferences.

Then sprinkle with pepper, then use an ice tea bottle filled with sesame oil to squeeze out the sesame oil.

In order to save money, many bosses only poke a small hole in the bottle cap so that they can squeeze out a little bit at a time.

This shop is not like this. The thin girl specially poured a lot of sesame oil for Jiang Ning, almost as much as the sesame oil Xue Yuantong put in cooking noodles.

"There are spicy shredded potatoes and fried soybeans with green peppers over there in the disinfection cabinet." She repeated what she said many times.

After Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong sat down, the female boss brought a cake box and said:

"I'll give you four first, eat first."

Xue Yuantong had never been to this restaurant for dinner, but she remembered that Jiang Ning did pack breakfast and come back one morning.

As someone who loves to eat, she could tell from the first bite that she had eaten it before.

After going out for a full month, she missed Yuzhou's delicious food so much. Xue Yuantong ate and ate. She ate 4 out of 7 sesame seed cakes, but she was still unsatisfied.

"Jiang Ning, can you eat three sesame cakes?" Xue Yuantong asked.

"good."

"You are so tall, three sesame seed cakes are definitely not enough for you." Xue Yuantong analyzed with scientific basis, "You are too thin. Only by eating more can you grow strong."

Jiang Ning pretended to be confused: "Really? Why do I feel full?"

Xue Yuantong gave an example: "Didn't you see what was said on TV? When you realize you are thirsty, your body is actually already in a state of dehydration and urgently needs to replenish water. If you have to wait until you are thirsty before drinking water, in the long run, it will be harmful to the body.

Make an impact."

She explained science to Jiang Ning in a eloquent manner, with clear organization and clear purpose.

Jiang Ning pretended to understand and nodded.

He took a sip of the soup with a porcelain spoon and said, "Then I want another sesame seed cake."

Xue Yuantong shook his head, "Do you think one sesame seed cake is enough? For you, it's not enough."

She called out for Jiang Ning: "Three more cakes."

So, out of the three cakes, two were eaten by her.

…

After eating, Xue Yuantong walked ahead with satisfaction. The sun shone on the road, full of life.

Jiang Ning suggested: "Let's go to the park next door and wait for my cousin."

Xue Yuantong had this intention and was ready to take a walk.

There are aunts dancing in the park at night, but in the morning there are only two old men playing suona in the park.

Xue Yuantong was walking comfortably in the park. It was August, the vegetation was lush, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

When we walked to the center of the park, there was a young man and woman. The man introduced and explained the various flowers in the park as he walked. He spoke so clearly that the woman next to him believed it.

Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning happened to be facing them.

After the man discovered Jiang Ning, he couldn't help but stop.

He turned sideways and looked at the woman beside him. As expected, the woman was looking at him.

The look in the woman's eyes was something he had met with her several times but never appeared before.

The man feels unhappy, isn't the young man a bit handsome?

What's the use of being handsome? You can't make a living. These days, talent is the number one priority.

He cleared his throat, faced the flowers in front of him, and introduced smoothly:

"This is a peony. There is a poem that says, 'Since the Li and Tang Dynasties, people have loved peonies.' This shows how popular peonies are. Look at how noble this flower is."

"It is rumored that Wu Zetian's favorite flower is peony. One winter, there was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an. Wu Zetian led all the officials to the palace garden to enjoy the snow scenery. As a result, only plum blossoms bloomed in winter. Wu Zetian had just ascended the throne and wanted to use

The flowers showed their authority, so they ordered all these flowers to bloom tomorrow."

"On the next day, Wu Zetian came to the garden again. Guess what? All the flowers were in bloom, but the peonies were still lifeless. It didn't give her any face."

The man spoke very smoothly, and the woman beside him nodded frequently, quite surprised:

"How do you know so much? Are you a gardening major?"

The man said calmly: "I just study a lot, so it's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."

The woman praised: "Awesome!"

After repeated compliments, the man became elated. He glanced at Jiang Ning with that disdainful and carefree look, and stepped forward like a winner.

"Haha, is being handsome useful? Being handsome is worthless in front of talent!" He left with satisfaction.

Xue Yuantong noticed that the man had inexplicable hostility towards Jiang Ning.

She looked at the 'peony' in front of her and suddenly shouted: "Jiang Ning, this is not a peony, this is a peony."

The man paused in his steps, in disbelief.

Xue Yuantong continued: "Look at the rhizomes, peonies are tree roots, peonies are grass roots, and these flowers are peonies!"

The man glanced at the woman next to him in fear, pretended not to hear, and left quickly.

…

Seeing the other party's hurried escape, Xue Yuantong let out a "hum".
