Chapter 357 Can You Carve One for Me?
It was getting dark, and the sky in the west showed a large area of bright red.
The rays of the sun are no longer dazzling, flowing down softly from far to near. On the vast plain are endless golden wheat fields.
The entire Yuzhou was shrouded in the sunset.
After Xue Yuantong finished eating, she lay down on the couch by the door to rest. Jiang Ning sat next to her and watched the sunset.
The setting sun gradually sets, blending into the sky and the earth. As the last trace of light disappears, it perfectly disappears into the night.
it's dark.
The door of the uncle and aunt next door lit up with a yellow light, illuminating the darkness again.
The three children were running around in the open space in front of the bungalow, laughing and laughing, and they didn't seem tired at all.
Aunt Gu didn't stay in the house. It was summer and the house was stuffy. She went outside to enjoy the air and chat with the neighbors.
Aunt Gu now has good job remuneration, a worry-free life, and looks much better than before.
"Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, there are mosquitoes, let's go back to the house?" Xue Yuantong made a suggestion after grabbing the mosquitoes several times but failing.
Aunt Gu looked at her daughter: "When you are full and lie down, if the mosquitoes don't bite you, who will they bite?"
"I don't know how to get up and move around." She said a few words.
Xue Yuantong said hard: "It's not like he just bit me. Ask Jiang Ning, he must have been bitten!"
Jiang Ning: "No."
Xue Yuantong, ‘Damn it, you’re not facing me! ’
Finally, Xue Yuantong found an excuse to play games and returned to his room, Jiang Ning's room to be precise.
She continued to lie on the sofa.
Jiang Ning's room was cool and indescribably comfortable. The sofa was soft and the air was fresh. Xue Yuantong attributed this to the fact that she took good care of the flowers and plants on the windowsill.
If it weren't for her baby bed here, she wouldn't even want to go back at night.
Xue Yuantong was lying on the sofa, looking at Jiang Ning in front of him. The computer screen lit up, and the desktop was an atmospheric wallpaper of snow-capped mountains. It was a world that only existed in imagination.
The mouse on the screen remained motionless, the screen was just a background board, and Jiang Jing read quietly.
Xue Yuantong once told him that if he doesn't use the computer, don't turn on the screen and waste electricity.
Later Jiang asked her, why did you cover yourself with a quilt and blow on the electric fan?
Xue Yuantong quibbled a few words and said no more.
Later, she discovered that reading with the computer screen was very peaceful, as if something was accompanying her.
After a long time, Xue Yuantong wanted to change his position, but he was too tired.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, I'm about to melt." Xue Yuantong stretched out his little hand and moved feebly, but unfortunately, he couldn't touch him.
Jiang Ning ignored her.
After a minute, Xue Yuantong said in a crisp voice: "I am a piece of white bread, fried~"
Jiang Ning stood up, walked over, and turned Xue Yuantong's petite body over.
She changed from lying down to prone.
After a while, Xue Yuantong called again: "Okay, both sides are fully cooked and ready to eat."
Jiang Ning came over again and helped her into a sitting position.
Xue Yuantong's arms were so soft that when Jiang Ning moved her, they almost made marks.
Xue Yuantong didn't scream. She puffed up her face and sat on the sofa, kicking her tender little feet.
Jiang Ning picked up the pen, scribbled on the draft paper, and drew some strange symbols.
He is studying formations and preparing to refine some personal supplies.
For example, the jade pendant on Xue Yuantong's chest was made by him using the principles of formation. Later, as his formation level improved and Shao Shuangshuang's collection of materials progressed, he improved the jade pendant twice more.
With the jade pendant's current instantaneous protection, there are almost no external factors that can threaten the life of the wearer in daily life.
What Jiang Ning plans to refine now is a protective formation that can really be used for himself. Although it may not be used at the moment, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day.
He studied for a while, found a piece of white jade from the drawer, and carved it with tools. From time to time, dust fell onto the draft paper below.
In fact, you should not do this kind of work in the bedroom, because the dust can easily spread throughout the room.
However, Jiang Ning used spiritual control to ensure that no trace of dust would flow out.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was not playing with her, Xue Yuantong simply took out her cell phone and contacted her best friend Chu Chu.
She revealed to Chu Chu that she and Jiang Ning would go to play in the wild tomorrow, and sincerely invited Chu Chu to participate.
But today, Chu Chu refused.
It turns out that tomorrow, Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School will hold a study tour, with the goal of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles", heading to cities in southern Hui Province to experience the cultural customs.
Only the Qingbei class in the first grade of high school are eligible to participate in this activity. Xue Chuchu is a student in the Qingbei class, so he has to study together with his classmates.
After Xue Yuantong heard this, his first thought was, 'It's broken'!
After this time, when Chu Chu returned from studying, his horizons would definitely be broadened, and he would fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
She was going to be the most vulgar person in the trio.
Xue Yuantong couldn't bear to think about that possibility!
Feeling the changes in her best friend, she felt a little restless and felt that her time was wasted.
She thought about it carefully, was it no longer so unacceptable to go out during the summer vacation?
…
night.
Downtown, Jiang family dinner.
Jiang Ning's uncle Jiang Qitian, his aunt, his cousin, his cousin Jiang Junlong, and Shen Qing'e all ate at the same table.
There were seven or eight plates of food on the large solid wood table, including braised crab, ribs and corn soup, fried beans, steamed sea bass, fried shredded pork with green garlic, spicy scallops, and cut watermelon. It was a feast.
Jiang Junlong took his chopsticks and ate in big gulps. His aunt put a piece of ribs in his bowl and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Shen Qing'e next to her picked up two beans.
When her aunt saw her, she immediately gave her half a piece of crab: "Qing'e, you are too thin, eat more."
Shen Qing'e thanked her: "Yeah, I understand."
The aunt said: "You kid, you are too polite."
She likes Qing'e very much. Sister Qing'e is her daughter-in-law, so she has this relationship.
Moreover, Qing'e has a decent appearance, knows how to advance and retreat when doing things, and is smart. Sometimes when she does something, such as making dumplings, Qing'e will sensiblely come over to help her and chat with her.
Of course my aunt likes such a little girl and wishes she could stay longer.
When Jiang Junlong was half full, he said, "Mom, I'm going to play with my brother Ning tomorrow. Don't cook for me at noon."
After hearing this, my aunt questioned: "You won't run out to surf the Internet, right?"
"If you don't believe me, ask me, Brother Ning, and then Qing'e." Jiang Junlong moved his shield.
Shen Qing'e said at the right time: "I'll go there together tomorrow and won't let him go online."
The aunt was still hesitant. At this time, the uncle Jiang Qitian took a sip of wine and said, "Why do you care if he is so stubborn?"
Auntie's face turned, and a dark cloud was brewing at the dinner table.
Jiang Junlong didn't know what to say.
Finally, his aunt agreed for him to go out to play. Jiang Junlong breathed a long sigh of relief. Is it so difficult to catch a fish?
After the meal, Shen Qing'e helped clear the dishes. Although her aunt repeatedly said no, Shen Qing'e still insisted on cleaning the dishes.
After she finished, she returned to the bedroom. This bedroom opened a window to the south. The room was not too big or too small. She was very comfortable living alone.
There are two posters on the wall. The small house is very cozy, but there is always a sense of alienation.
Because this is not her own home.
Shen Qing'e stayed at her sister's house. Although she was very friendly on the surface and her aunt was kind to her, she was not from this family after all.
She really wanted to have a house of her own like this in the city.
It's a pity that her parents are just two inconspicuous people among the large number of migrant workers along the coast.
If you want to afford this kind of house, you have to live without food or drink for many years.
Shen Qing'e sat at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and opened the test paper to do the questions.
She was born in a small town, but when she came to the city, if she didn't work hard, her grades would not be as good as those of the students in the city.
She picked up the pen, but for some reason she couldn't calm down.
What Shen Qing'e didn't understand was that Jiang Ning's grades were obviously not much better than hers before, but after she came to No. 4 Middle School, she took off instantly.
She looked at Jiang Ning's back from a distance, but she couldn't catch up to him no matter what.
Thinking of this, she thought that tomorrow, she and Jiang Junlong would play with Jiang Ning.
She was vaguely looking forward to it, but she was also pessimistic.
‘Maybe he doesn’t welcome me? ’ Shen Qing’e thought so.
The relationship between her and Jiang Ning had collapsed too hastily. Just because he didn't go along with her wishes, she started a cold war and deliberately ignored him until Jiang Ning went out to rent a house.
Later, when school started, she not only didn't want to talk to Jiang Ning, but in her heart, she despised Jiang Ning's impulsive behavior and felt that he might have degenerated in the future.
In the end, today's strange road was formed.
Shen Qing'e's thoughts were confused and she couldn't calm down to study the test paper. She went to the bedside to get her mobile phone, clicked on Kuwo Music, and played the song.
Then a class group was created, in which Lu Qiqi, Yu Wen and others were chatting, but Shen Qing'e had no intention of joining.
She saw a prompt in the news and simply clicked on the space. Many classmates had posted comments. She scrolled down and found Jiang Ning's new comment.
Jiang Ning rarely posts recently. Today, which is rare, he posted two pictures. They are a lifelike white jade bunny. There are carving tools, carving knives, rulers, polishing blocks, etc. around the bunny.
The white jade rabbit looks really good-looking, with smooth lines and pure and flawless colors.
Shen Qing'e fell in love at first sight. Through the photos, she could even feel the white, waxy, gentle and delicate jade material. If she touched it with her fingers, she would definitely not be able to put it down.
Let’s talk about the subtitles: “This is my first time carving a small animal, and it feels pretty good.”
Jiang Ning doesn't have many friends, but every time he posts something, everyone cheers him up and gets dozens of likes.
Chen Siyu: "Not only is it good, it looks good!"
Chen Siqing: "Second."
Wang Longlong: "Brother Ning is a great talent!"
Shan Kaiquan: "Did you carve it yourself? You didn't buy it, right?"
Geng Lu replied to Shan Kaiquan: "The picture I produced was carved by Jiang Ning. How can it be fake?"
There are also a series of classmates speaking below.
Shen Qing'e read them one by one, and then she focused on the little rabbit in the picture.
She is born in the year of Rabbit, and this little white jade rabbit is really suitable for her...
If it were before...
She stared at it for a long time, and accidentally clicked into Jiang Ning's space with her finger.
Shen Qing'e woke up with a start, almost frightened out of her mind.
Since the cold war with Jiang Ning, she has never visited Jiang Ning's space.
In the past, she and Jiang Ning not only liked and left comments on the space, but also liked each other's business cards every day.
But then they all disappeared, as if whoever liked it had given up.
'what to do? ' In panic, Shen Qing'e thought of the yellow diamond. As long as the yellow diamond is turned on, the access record can be deleted.
She is not a distinguished yellow diamond user. After all, yellow diamonds cost 10 yuan a month.
Now, as a last resort, Shen Qing'e reluctantly spent 10 yuan, opened a yellow diamond for a month, and quickly deleted the access records.
After solving the problem, Shen Qing'e finally felt relieved and thought for a moment:
‘You can’t get yellow diamonds in vain. ’
The next second, she opened the invisible access permission, poked her finger into Jiang Ning's space, and browsed his comments and message boards twice.
…
"Jiang Ning, the rabbit is very beautiful. Is it for Xue Yuantong?" Geng Lu sent a message. She knew that Xue Yuantong's zodiac sign was rabbit.
Jiang Ning replied: "That's right."
"My zodiac sign is tiger. I will give you a picture and give you money to buy jade. Can you help me carve a little tiger?" The little rabbit looked at Geng Lu and wanted it very much.
Jiang Ning said: "Are you sure about the little tiger? I can carve it, but Bai Yuxia asked me to carve the little tiger just now. Maybe I will do it again."
After Geng Lu heard this, she was slightly unhappy with Bai Yuxia's taking the lead, mainly because he also stole her little tiger.
But as long as it was carved by Jiang Ning herself, she still wanted a piece, just when she wanted to be sure.
Jiang Ning said: "Little Tiger may not be suitable for you."
Geng Lu was lost for a moment when he saw this news.
Jiang Ning sent another message: "I have other recommended animals."
"What animal?" Geng Lu asked.
"Bear."
A cartoon version of a bear popped into Geng Lu's mind, and she asked again: "Big bear or little bear?"
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Mini version of Big Bear."
Geng Lu's face turned red with embarrassment across the screen, and the soft light in her eyes flooded the screen: 'Did he do it on purpose? ’
…
Jiang Ning and Geng Lu decided on the small animal to carve. He found a gold rope, put it on dark green jade beads, and decorated the end with a red bead, connecting it to the white jade rabbit.
Xue Yuantong put it on his hand with satisfaction and was very proud of it.
Just as Aunt Gu came in from the door, she rushed to meet her: "Mom, Mom! Look, Jiang Ningdiao's little rabbit is awesome!"
"He made it especially for me!"
Xue Yuantong kept showing off.
Aunt Gu couldn't help but think of her daughter who got a jade pendant last year and kept showing off.
She was a little surprised when she saw the little white jade rabbit on her daughter's wrist. It was really beautiful.
After her daughter showed off for a while and was overjoyed, Aunt Gu said:
"Jiang Ning is so kind to you, making you a little bunny, but you are too lazy to wash his clothes, and the washing is not clean at all!"
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong realized that she had been exposed, and most of the happiness on her face disappeared.
The last time she had a quarrel with Jiang Ning, there was no quarrel. In order to get revenge on Jiang Ning, she deliberately used small tricks. Unexpectedly...
She stared at Jiang Ning resentfully: "You actually complained to my mother."
It was like making an appointment with Jiang Ning to fight with bare hands, but Jiang Ning brought a rolling pin and she was completely unmatched.
Aunt Gu pointed out what was wrong with her: "You should be sued. If you are angry, you should be angry. Your clothes should be washed."
"I guess you touched the water and picked it up immediately from the basin." Aunt Gu is experienced and knows her daughter's temperament well.
Xue Yuantong was silent for two seconds and said: "The clothes were not stained with water. I hung them to dry in the sun."
