Chapter 84 The weather is getting colder and 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 it on Douyin.
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.
Win-win.
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 large 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 spirit, 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 soon after being raised in a pot, so it needs to be raised in a pond.”
Xu Qianqian was a little confused, "The small pond in our vegetable garden has not been used for a long time, and it is completely abandoned."
Sun Jianguo thought for a while, and directly bought the spare aerator that he bought for more than 100 yuan from the car. The machine was taken out. He doesn't lack this little money, and it would be more cost-effective to befriend Jiang Nian.
Many boss friends around him also love fishing. If you grasp Jiang Nian, 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 watched Sun Jianguo personally give oxygen to the fish daddy in the basin and teach her how to use it. She didn't know what to say for a while.
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.
“Did you catch 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 Zeng He glanced in front of the oxygen machine, knelt down and said, "I found out after asking around that he is the father of my classmate."
"Oh, then how can I return this oxygen machine to him?" Xu Qian He bent down slightly, looking curiously at the dozen or so swimming fish in two basins, 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, “Even if there is an aerator, all of these fish may not be able to survive. You can kill a few of them.”
"Why, why don't you kill me!"
Jiang Nian spread 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 is as steady as an old dog, A peaceful smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, grandma couldn't help but came 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 floor 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 are going to die!” Xu Qianqian held the kitchen knife in her hand and chopped it hard on the chopping board with a thud, “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 loudly and almost fell off the wall. "You look so funny when you are angry. You have improved your fish killing skills."
"You! I really want to Cut off your dog's head!"
"Wori, you are so cruel, I feel like a jade."
In the afternoon, Lao Xu drove back.
He seemed to be in a good mood and walked around the fish in the basin a few times with interest. Then he asked Xu Qianqian to go into the house and wake up Jiang Nian who had been sleeping for an 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 cloudy and the temperature in the mountains is low.
While burning the 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, and the ditches are blocked by fallen leaves, or the soil accumulates and hardens 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. Holding a small square of pebbles picked up by the roadside in his hand, he patiently cleaned the uneven ditch.
After a busy afternoon, the area around the tomb was finally cleaned up.
The three rested for a while and were ready to go back.
Old 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, weighted 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. I suppressed the instinct to look back all the way, and I couldn't help but look back until I 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.
On a cloudy day, the curtain is dark and the mountains are silent.
Jiang Nian looked away for a while, 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?"
"Say."
(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. "
"Cousin?"
(Lin Dong): "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Jiang Nian was not too enthusiastic, "There is only the video in the group. , nothing else was taken.”
(Lin Dong): "Oh, okay, thank you (Biya)."
"That's weird, where is my cousin from?"
Jiang Nian only felt strange, but 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 day is the final 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.
Old Xu suddenly said with emotion, "Xiaonian, you have grown up and become a lot more sensible."
"Haha, almost, I'm already a senior in high school." Jiang Nian said haha, "I'm an adult at the age of 18."
But in my heart, I was thinking that I am not sensible, I am just greedy for your daughter.
Buy a ghost fire and park it downstairs another day to test your heart rate.
In fact, buffs like childhood sweethearts may not necessarily be achieved by applying them. This thing has become so popular these days, even childhood sweethearts who went to the same elementary school can be considered.
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’s not good-looking, that’s what it is.
"My ugly neighbor often confesses in unintelligible dialect".
She is good-looking and 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 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?"
