Chapter 4 Morning Run
At night, Jiang Nian took a shower and went back to the room, turned on the air conditioner and lay on the bed.
Click on the panel and smile first to show respect.
Although Jiang Nian’s grades were average, as one of the main players of the school basketball team, he silently ran five kilometers continuously for a semester in order to show off for the whole game.
5 kilometers in one breath, like drinking water.
His plan is to get up early tomorrow, run 5 kilometers first, then 3 kilometers, and finally complete 2 kilometers. After all, he still understands the principle of working hard and then failing again and again.
After reading the task, he took out his mobile phone and looked at his bank card balance.
Money is a man’s courage. The Jiang family’s conditions are not very good. Grandpa’s health was not good a few years ago. I borrowed a lot of money back and forth, and I just paid off all my debts this year.
Also, Jiang Nian doesn’t have much pocket money, maybe three or four hundred a month.
Just one afternoon later, there was an extra thousand yuan in the card. If you wait until tomorrow to run ten kilometers, another two thousand yuan will fall into your pocket, which is equal to three thousand.
If you don’t spend the money, it will be in vain if you earn it. He opened the shopping website Moudong.
It’s my senior year in high school, and even though the game company is trying to cover it up, the source of the money is regular. But for parents, playing games to make money while delaying study is putting the cart before the horse.
Although it is possible that there will be rounds of family trials, Jiang Nian is thick-skinned and does not care. He has already said it, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to make a purchase.
The most intuitive way for ordinary people to save money is to use two sets of combos to buy less clothes and less shoes. Save water, electricity, home appliances, mobile phones, and electronic products. If they are not broken, don’t buy them.
The Jiang family is no exception. Lao Jiang and his mother have not changed their mobile phones, clothes and shoes for two or three years. The TV and air conditioner at home are rarely turned on, and the water from rice washing is used to flush the toilet.
Saving is a virtue, but this saving is obviously just to save money. There is no quality of life at all. It can only be said that we have to tighten our belts to get by.
It’s hard to buy clothes. He can’t afford mobile phones and home appliances, so he can only buy shoes.
Shoes are the kind of necessities that can be worn for a few dozen yuan, but they are expensive for a few hundred yuan. When walking every day, a good pair of shoes is very important.
Jiang Nian first bought a pair of leather shoes worth more than 500 yuan for Lao Jiang, and then bought a pair of soft-soled sports shoes worth more than 300 yuan for his mother. By the way, I bought myself two pairs of shoes worth about 200 yuan.
After a set of combinations, one thousand three will hit the bottom immediately.
I looked at the balance, one hundred yuan.
Come on, go to sleep.
On the other side, the Jiang family and his wife could not sleep.
The master bedroom was dark, and the couple talked the night before going to bed. There are things that are difficult to say in front of children during the day, but you can talk about them at night with the lights turned off.
“Oh, I only realized how big the child has grown in the blink of an eye.” Jiang Weizheng said with his hands on the back of his head, lying on the bed and looking at the dark ceiling.
"You can make money now, and you can even cook for us."
"Jiang Nian is not good at understanding things, so you are just sighing here." Li Hongmei rolled her eyes at her husband in the dark, "In the past three days, if I didn't fight, I would go to the house to uncover the tiles."
"I wish he would be more sensible, and I would worry less about it in the future. Now I'm worried that his money comes from a shady way, and he will end up going astray at such a young age."
"That's not the case, I know him in his young age, and he has a sense of propriety." Jiang Weizheng retracted his hand and frowned, "I checked that game company, and it's quite big."
"I guess it's okay to make some money a month, just don't let him get too addicted."
The couple chatted for a while, but in the end there was no result. Feeling sleepy, I thought of going to work tomorrow and went straight to bed.
The next day.
It was September, and the sky was dark at five o'clock in the small southern county.
Jiang Nian got up early and changed into his sneakers. Subconsciously, she glanced at Xu Qianqian's house opposite. The door was closed. Uncle Xu was on a business trip, and she was the only one at home.
Forget it, just be kind and bring her breakfast.
It was a bit cold in the morning. When he went downstairs wearing a short-sleeved quick-drying shirt, goosebumps appeared on his arms facing the wind. The first thing you see is a not-so-busy street with old self-built buildings.
“Grass.”
Nancheng Middle School, on the playground track, a figure was stretched infinitely in the morning light.
Jiang Nian was sweating profusely, and his chest and back were soaked with sweat. The run is not strenuous, and the weather is not too hot in the morning. You will definitely sweat after running for a long time.
After finishing the five-kilometer run, Jiang Nian’s phone buzzed. He raised his phone and saw that the reward had arrived.
“Hey! Here we are.”
When one thousand yuan arrived, he unscrewed a bottle of water from his backpack and took a few sips. Standing in the shade of the sycamore tree in the southwest corner, I rested and prepared to sprint another 3 kilometers.
Not long after, the three kilometers and two kilometers were completed.
“xx bank received a transfer of 700RMB300RMB.”
At this time, Jiang Nian was also a little out of breath. His whole body looked like he had just crawled out of the water. The hair on his forehead was parted, but his eyes were extremely clear.
A conservative estimate is that if you rest, you can still run five kilometers. Apart from being unable to get out of bed the next day, there were almost no side effects.
For some reason, Jiang Nian didn’t resist leg training at all.
He doesn’t have much ambition. He is a single, strong boy. Just like Mr. Ji Xianlin’s thoughts when he was young, he only wants more in this life.
The autumn wind is high and crisp, the sun has just risen, and the sunshine on the street is warm and clear. The early morning light passes through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, and the Tyndall phenomenon imitates the shape of the light.
Jiang Nian held on to his bicycle and bought four breakfasts before eight o'clock.
Prices in the county are relatively cheap. Shredded radish and green vegetable buns cost one yuan each, a cup of soy milk costs one yuan, fried dough sticks one and a half yuan, and meat buns one yuan and a half.
“Thirty in total, take it.”
Ding! "paid."
"Okay."
The breakfast cost a total of thirty, a big bag full. Jiang Nian can eat four meat buns, two fried dough sticks with soy milk, and two or three vegetarian buns by himself.
The two thousand I just got, plus the remaining 161 from yesterday, deducting the breakfast of 30, there is a total of 2131 yuan left.
There are many people like Jiang Nian carrying large breakfast bags, but they are all elderly people. Go to bed early and wake up early to buy breakfast for your children and grandchildren who are working and going to school at home.
The wheels of the bicycle rolled over the dry road, and the young man’s flying back was printed in the golden morning light.
With a sudden brake, Jiang Nian jumped out of the car.
Carrying a large bag of breakfast home, I happened to see my mother Li Hongmei getting up. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes looked tired from getting up early, as if she was planning to make breakfast.
Although prices in Zhennan County are already very cheap, cooking breakfast at home is still more cost-effective.
Four yuan of rice noodles, chopped millet, spicy green peppers, garlic and shallots, mixed with some chili oil, peanuts, coriander, pickled beans, and the sauce is full.
The curtains in the living room were drawn and the light was dim.
Li Hongmei was wearing her mother's pajamas that looked like curtains, with slippers on her feet, looking at her son who came in with a smell of sweat and a big bag of breakfast in his hand.
“You went to buy breakfast?”
“Well, I bought it while running in the morning.” Jiang Nian nodded and put a large bag of breakfast on the table, “Mom, you don’t have to work so hard, I will make breakfast from now on.”
