Chapter 84 The weather is getting colder, and so is my heart
Sun Jianguo was obviously having fun and asked Jiang Nian if he could use TikTok.
After Jiang Nian shook his head, he made a coy request. After seeing Jiang Nian nodding, Sun Jianguo hehey ran over to Yu Hu, posed for a photo and posted a TikTok.
With the text, [Look down on all people and things and accept the destiny. The weather is getting colder and colder, and so is my heart. The greatest kindness of middle-aged people is to remain silent. 】
When Jiang Nian saw it, he was happy and gave a thumbs up.
“Brother Sun, you have depth.”
He doesn’t give out space anyway, the fish and the money are all his. Sun Jianguo spent a little money and not only pretended to be a big dick, but also picked up three big wild fish for nothing.
A win-win situation.
As for whether Sun Zhicheng in the class is embarrassed or not, it has nothing to do with Jiang Nian.
Your father is happy.
Well, both dads are happy.
At noon, Sun Jianguo enthusiastically drove the fish to Xu Qianqian’s hometown. Jiang Nian rode his old motorcycle, Dududu, all the way back.
When the black Mazda drove to the door, Xu Qianqian was stunned.
Her grandparents were also confused for a long time and kept talking to Sun Jianguo.
“Master, our family didn’t order any fish. The banquet is held at the restaurant in front of the temple.”
Sun Jianguo greeted Jiang Nian with a big water basin while dialing Jiang Nian’s WeChat video call. This guy was still riding his bike on the road, and when he saw the two old men appearing in the picture, he immediately understood.
After a few words of explanation, the two old men felt relieved and happily went to get the basin.
Sun Jianguo is also a human being, and he roughly guessed that Jiang Nian had a close relationship with this family, but he didn't know whether it was a relative or an in-law.
He was afraid that the two old men would not understand, so he turned to Xu Qianqian in the yard.
"It will die after a short time in the pot, so it needs to be raised in the pond."
Xu Qianqian was a little confused, "The small pond in our vegetable garden has not been used for a long time and is completely abandoned."
Sun Jianguo thought for a while and took out the spare aerator he bought for more than 100 yuan from the car. He doesn't lack this little money, and it would be more cost-effective to make friends with Jiang Nian.
Many boss friends around him also love fishing. If you grasp the year of the river, you will grasp the future.
And he has already thought about the copywriting for Douyin next time.
【The wind was too strong and blew away my fish, just like blowing away my life. 】
Xu Qianqian didn’t know what to say for a while as she watched Sun Jianguo personally administer oxygen to the fish daddy in the basin and teach her how to use it.
Fortunately, Jiang Nian arrived on a bad motorcycle at this time, and Sun Jianguo greeted him with a smile and chatted for a few words. Before leaving, he made a contact gesture and then drove away.
"You caught these?" Xu Qianqian was still a little confused. She looked down at the fish and then at Jiang Nian, "You didn't buy it from that person, right?"
"Believe it or not." Jiang Nian looked indifferent.
Men generally make this gesture and basically everything they say is true. If the genders were reversed and a woman said she loved her calmly, believe it or not, it would probably be a lie.
Xu Qianqian believed it, "Hey, when did you meet that person? You seem to be quite familiar with each other."
"We just met not long ago, and we happened to be fishing in Xiaolongtan." Jiang Nian walked to the aerator and took a look. Eyes crossed, he knelt down and said, "On inquiry, I found out that he is the father of my classmate."
"Oh, how can I return this aerator to him?" Xu Qianqian bent down and looked at the two pots of more than a dozen swimming fish curiously, blinking his eyes.
“Just buy it, I just earned a little from him, I will transfer the money to him via WeChat later.”
“Earn?”
“Well, I sold him three fish.”
Xu Qianqian almost fainted, what an outrageous plot.
"By the way, Xu Qianqian." Jiang Nian stood up and saw clearly, "Even if the fish has an aerator, they may not be able to survive. You can kill a few of them."
"Why, why don't you kill them!"
Jiang Nian Spreading his hands, "I am a guest."
"What kind of guest are you!" Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth, and suddenly understood someone's bad intentions, "You have to do it too! Otherwise, you can eat instant noodles for lunch!"
Jiang Nian was as steady as an old dog, with a peaceful smile on his face.
Sure enough, grandma couldn’t help but come over to break up the fight.
"I'll kill, I'll do it."
In front of the faucet in the yard, Xu Qianqian squatted there alone, killing fish.
The ground was covered with white fish scales. Under the faucet, several fish were disemboweled in red plastic basins, and blood flowed out along the moss-covered ditch.
Jiang Nian sat on the wall, playing with his mobile phone and laughing hard, almost to the point of losing his breath.
“You’re going to die!” Xu Qianqian held the kitchen knife in her hand and chopped it hard on the chopping board with a bang, “Get out of here, don’t let me see you!”
“That won’t work, do you know how hard it is for me to fish?”
"It's none of my business!" Xu Qianqian was so angry that she killed five fish and her hands were almost numb.
"Of course it has something to do with you, baby." Jiang Nian laughed and almost fell off the wall, "You look so funny when you are angry. You have improved in your fish killing techniques."
"You! I really want to chop your head off!"
"Wori, you are so cruel, it makes me feel like jade."
In the afternoon, Lao Xu drove back.
He seemed to be in a good mood. He walked around the fish in the basin a few times with interest, and then asked Xu Qianqian to go into the house and wake up Jiang Nian, who had slept all afternoon.
The three of them went up the mountain carrying incense candles and yellow paper bags. Jiang Nian carried a chicken, and Lao Xu carried a red plastic bag containing incense candles and ingots.
The bag in Xu Qianqian’s hand contained thick paper money.
Since Lao Xu had already swept the tomb yesterday, all the weeds around it were cleared away. There were traces of burning paper on the ground. The faces of the father and daughter were calm, and there were occasional smiles on the road.
Time makes people get used to it.
Jiang Nian was not very solemn, as if he were visiting his elders and bled the chicken while talking. The bright red blood stained the yellow paper, probably stained a little and then burned.
It’s a cloudy day and the temperature in the mountains is low.
When burning paper, scraps of paper were flying, and he saw a layer of goosebumps on Xu Qianqian's arms. So she asked softly if she was cold, and she shook her head.
Don’t throw too much yellow paper at once as it won’t burn through, so Jiang Nian sped up the frequency of throwing paper into the fire. The flame suddenly became a little bigger, and the temperature slowly climbed up.
It rains a lot in the mountains, the ditches are blocked by fallen leaves, or the soil has accumulated and hardened for a long time. Slowly, the originally smooth and smooth tomb will accumulate water.
After lighting the incense candle, Lao Xu squatted over the ditch and pulled weeds. He held a small square of pebbles picked up from the roadside in his hand and patiently cleaned the uneven ditch.
After a busy afternoon, the area around the tomb was finally cleaned up.
The three of them rested for a while and prepared to go back.
Lao Xu picked up the dead chicken and prepared to throw it into the river according to custom. The old man said that after the chicken is dyed into yellow paper, it loses its flavor and cannot be eaten. It must be thrown away after use.
The extra incense candles were not taken away, but placed nearby, pressed down with small gray stones. When I came, my hands were full of things, and when I came back, I left with a dead chicken.
When walking back, Lao Xu specifically warned.
“Look forward, don’t look back.”
Jiang Nian didn’t know what to say, so he simply remained silent. He suppressed the instinct to look back all the way, and couldn't help but look back until he was completely out of the col.
Lao Xu and Xu Qianqian also stopped and looked back.
The mountain is not pretty, and is even a little deformed. In many places, there are large areas of alopecia areata, exposing the yellow land, which looks dark from a distance.
The cloudy sky was dark and the mountains were silent.
Jiang Nian looked at it for a while and then looked away, thinking that Lao Xu would come back here in the future. Judging from how diligently he cleaned it up, it seemed as if he was going to lie down in it tomorrow.
After going down the mountain, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.
Someone suddenly joined him in the class. Jiang Nian thought it was his "good eldest son" Sun Zhicheng. Unexpectedly, it was Lin Dong, who immediately remembered the phrase "Only fools take revenge."
After passing.
(Lin Dong): “Jiang Nian, can I ask you something?”
“Tell me.”
(Lin Dong): "Have you taken any other photos while fishing today? I have a cousin who heard about you and admires you very much. He wants to see the fish you caught."
(Lin Dong): “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Jiang Nian is not too Enthusiasm, "Only the video in the group, nothing else was taken."
(Lin Dong): "Oh, okay, thank you (Biya)."
“That’s weird, where does this cousin come from?”
Jiang Nian only felt strange, but he was too lazy to think about it. It was getting dark, so he put away his cell phone and prepared to wash his hands and eat. He would have to go back tomorrow afternoon.
The sports meeting runs from Thursday to Saturday afternoon, and self-study continues in the evening. And starting from this week, the school will implement a make-up class system, and classes will be held on Sunday morning.
This means that, unless there are special circumstances, the school holidays will only be on Sunday afternoon.
The sports meeting is the last carnival.
After dinner, Xu Qianqian went back to her room to do her homework.
Jiang Nian didn’t bring any homework and didn’t want to write it. So he turned around to drink tea with Lao Xu. The two grown men placed hot tea and melon seeds on the balcony on the second floor.
Looking at the dark night, the distant mountains of Qingming are hidden in it.
Lao Xu suddenly said with emotion, "Xiao Nian, you have grown up and become a lot more sensible."
"Haha, almost, you are already a senior in high school." Jiang Nian laughed, "You are an adult at the age of 18."
But in his heart, he thought that I am not sensible, I am just jealous of your daughter.
Another day buy a ghost fire and park it downstairs to measure your heart rate.
In fact, it is not necessarily possible to obtain buffs like childhood sweethearts. Nowadays, this thing has become so popular that people who went to the same elementary school can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Same primary school, different village, does that really count?
If you lick a dog, you will never be able to go to her elementary school.
So in a broad sense, childhood sweethearts are just a title similar to neighbors. Whether they are ambiguous or not depends entirely on the appearance of the two people and whether they look at each other.
Good-looking, childhood sweetheart.
It doesn’t look good, that is.
"My ugly neighbor often confesses to me in unintelligible dialect."
She looks good and is so close, so I should be thinking about her. With or without dates, who cares what happens in the future? Ambiguity can happen without any conditions.
“Speaking of which, you are now eighteen this year. Should you consider enrolling in a driving school or something like that?” Lao Xu picked up the teacup and said, giving him a casual reminder.
Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, "It's time to sign up for the exam. Uncle Xu, do you know any coaches?"
