Chapter 16
Aunt Gu found out later that it was Jiang Ning who took Tongtong to school by bike these days.

So she has been busy in the countryside until today before rushing back.

Now seeing her girl staying beside Jiang Ning obediently, she felt pretty good for a while.

Ever since she rented a house to Jiang Ning, she felt that the child was honest and polite, but his body looked a little weaker. Who would have thought that after a few days of absence, he would actually run away, and his face would become much more energetic.

"Jiang Ning wait a moment, there is one dish left." She told Tongtong yesterday, asking her to call Jiang Ning to eat.

Jiang Ning didn't refuse, and said politely, "Please trouble me, Auntie."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Seeing the exchange of greetings between the two, Xue Yuantong interjected:

"Mom, stop chatting, go and cook, I'm starving to death."

Aunt Gu glared at Xue Yuantong, Xue Yuantong was not afraid at all, and pulled Jiang Ning to wash his hands, then pulled Jiang Ning to the main room, and sat down on the ponytail beside the folding table.

Xue Yuantong cut a plate of watermelon, sat at the dinner table and chatted with Jiang Ning.

"It's so cool? Did you notice it?" Xue Yuantong asked strangely.

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's really cool."

He mobilized his spiritual power to cool down the surroundings. For Xue Yuantong, he would not be stingy with that little spiritual power. He really liked this eccentric girl who laughed all day long.

"Hmm, maybe it's because of the shade of the tree." Xue Yuantong thought.

A lot of trees are planted near this row of bungalows, which provide shade and keep the bungalows from heating up so much. Although it is still hot in summer, blowing electric fans can still get through it.

My living conditions are mediocre, and only my mother can earn money. It costs thousands of dollars to install an air conditioner these days, and the electricity bill is expensive, so her house does not have an air conditioner, and every summer is miserable.

Jiang Ning smiled, this year is indeed not too hot, unlike a certain year in the later generations, when the whole country was heated up, it was unbearable to not turn on the air conditioner in summer, and even had to turn on the air conditioner all night to fall asleep.

"It's super cool!" Xue Yuantong took a bite of the watermelon, and shook the orange bottle. Just as she was about to unscrew the lid, Jiang Ning said, "Let me do it."

"No, I can." Xue Yuantong twisted it hard and opened it.

She said triumphantly, "I'm a woman, it's just a bottle cap, it's not easy."

"Awesome." Jiang Ning praised her kindly, as if she was praising a child.

Xue Yuantong snorted: "Eat melons, eat melons, my mother brought them back from the countryside, and my grandpa found seeds to grow melons. They are very sweet. I will catch two and leave them for you to eat slowly."

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Ning expectantly, hoping that he would taste it.

Jiang Ning took a sip, it was indeed very sweet, slightly better than the melons sold on the ordinary street, but it was much worse than the spiritual fruits he had eaten in the world of cultivating immortals, but he still enjoyed eating it, I ate several pieces in front of Xue Yuantong, and was happier than eating those spiritual fruits.

Whether a thing tastes good or not depends more on who eats it with.

Jiang Ning is a left-behind child. His parents can only come back at the end of the year, and then stay for less than 20 days, and then go to the coastal areas to work.

He was left alone at home. His grandparents died early, and he usually bought three meals a day. It was considered safe in the village, and some neighbors and relatives looked after him from time to time.

Jiang Ning used to resent his parents, but as he grew up, he gradually understood.

Hui Province is backward. If you stay in your hometown, people with little education like your parents will either farm the land and earn less than [-] yuan a year, or start a business.

Because the wages in the local factories are not high, far worse than those in the coastal areas. If you go there, the two of you can have [-] to [-] yuan a year, and you can buy a house and a car for your children in the future.

So in Jiang Ning's village, most of the adult men went out to work. Many of Jiang Ning's age did not finish junior high school, so they followed their parents to other places.

For these years, Jiang Ning has been living a life of eating alone. After graduating from university and wandering in the society, he also eats alone. To be honest, it is very boring.

He prefers to eat with his family and talk about family affairs while eating, but that kind of opportunity is rare, and living in society is always involuntary.

Sitting at Xue Yuantong's house, chatting and eating with Xue Yuantong, he has not experienced this relaxed feeling for a long time. Although he was at his uncle's house a few days ago, he always felt that there was an invisible gap between him and his uncle's family.

Although in this life, he did many times better than in the previous life, but those memories will always be buried deep in his heart. Although immortal cultivators have methods that are close to immortals, they are still human after all.

On the contrary, he feels extremely relaxed when he is with Xue Yuantong now.

Xue Yuantong smiled brilliantly, and when Jiang Ning praised her melons, she felt her bones stretch.

Here, Aunt Gu came over with a pot, and the aroma filled the air, making people drool.

Xue Yuantong stood up and pinched his waist with both hands, and excitedly introduced to Jiang Ning:

"Look, this is the chicken that my mother brought from the village. It's fresh chicken, served with dried beans, and it's cooked in a firewood-fired earthenware pot. You can see how good this chicken is when you see my mother's head sweating. ate!"

"Later, there will be pancakes soaked in soup, don't mention the taste, I guarantee that you will take a bite, and you will want to come to my house every day for a meal!"

"You are blessed today hahaha."

Aunt Gu took an ugly look at her own girl, and couldn't figure out how she gave birth to such a fool.

Jiang Ning took the pot, placed it on the table, and at the same time stimulated his spiritual power, a chill spread out.

"The main room is so cool!" Aunt Gu said in surprise.

"I've figured it out a long time ago, it's very cool today!" Xue Yuantong agreed.

Aunt Gu served the dishes one by one. In addition to the earthen pot chicken, there were two dishes, one roasted edamame, one cold tomato, and Xue Yuantong's sliced ​​watermelon, which barely counted as four dishes.

"Today's dishes are relatively simple, Jiang Ning, don't be disgusted." Aunt Gu said shyly.

"It's already very rich." Jiang Ning said.

Aunt Gu brought the rice cooker, which contained mung bean soup. In summer, a bowl was served to quench thirst and cool down.

"Eat, eat." Xue Yuantong stretched out his hand to grab a piece of pancake, and after being scalded, he immediately retracted his paw, with a resentful expression on his face.

Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing after being teased.

Aunt Gu took a piece of cake for Jiang Ning and put it on his bowl.

The pancakes are cooked with the chicken, half of which is covered with soup, and the other half is crispy.

Jiang Ning took a bite and praised: "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good."

Xue Yuantong's small face was proud, as if he was honored.

"Eat more if it tastes good. I see that you have grown a lot taller. Now is the time when you need nutrition. You have to keep up to grow up." Aunt Gu said.

Jiang Ning showed a teachable appearance.

Xue Yuantong felt sore when she heard it. She felt that if she continued to listen, the jealous saliva would be left behind, so she took the initiative to change the subject:

"Mom, how did you come home today? By car?"

Aunt Gu nodded: "Yes, I made two transfers, but there weren't many people."

Xue Yuantong felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of how hard his mother was carrying so many things and had to change cars.

But there was nothing she could do.
