Chapter 519: Dining Together

The bell rang in the morning, and the first class was the class of Chinese teacher Dai Yongquan, who was a middle-aged man who loved literature from the bottom of his heart.

Every time he recited ancient texts, he was always full of emotion and intoxicated, showing the beauty of ancient texts to his classmates.

Unfortunately, most students could not feel the beauty, they just thought it was fun.

Whenever Dai Yongquan started reciting, everyone had a period of time to be absent-minded, so they liked Dai Yongquan's recitation very much.

Xue Yuantong looked confused: "I always feel that I forgot something."

Jiang Ning: "Huh?"

Bai Yuxia listened and said: "Teacher Dai said last week that this class will randomly check students to recite the text."

Xue Yuantong finally remembered: "The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, right?"

"Well, did you recite it?" Bai Yuxia asked. She recited it hard at home for a day on the weekend and finally memorized it. If the Chinese teacher asked questions, she would be confident to deal with it.

Xue Yuantong hurriedly opened the textbook: "I will start reciting now, I should be in time!"

After hearing this, Chai Wei, who was sitting in front of him, laughed directly. He looked contemptuous: "You underestimate this ancient text. It is a relatively difficult text to recite, and the structure is very scattered."

He admitted that Xue Yuantong's grades were very good, but if he wanted to recite this text, he would need at least a whole morning self-study.

While he was talking, Xue Yuantong was chanting: "Yuzhang is the old county, Hongdu is the new capital, the stars are divided into Yizhen, and the land is connected to Henglu..."

Chai Wei didn't think so. He finally had the opportunity to hit the first place in this grade, thus highlighting his extraordinary vision, "Forget it, it's too late."

Soon, the class bell rang.

Dai Yongquan appeared at the door of the classroom, and then stood on the podium and said the first sentence: "Students, I assigned a text last week. Let's check a few students."

As soon as this was said, many students who had memorized it by heart raised their heads and chests, showing the eagerness to try, and their performances were similar.

Students who can't recite have more tricks, such as Yu Wen, who lowered her head to read the text to strengthen her memory.

Cui Yu and Meng Gui began to pray, hoping that they would not be randomly checked.

Duan Shigang died, it didn't matter, he continued to play with his phone.

Liu Chuandao, who was in the devil's cave, looked crazy, "Hit me, hit me, hit me away!"

Even more awesome was Ma Shicheng, who deliberately raised his head and chest, and behaved in the same way as those students who could recite.

Of course, the most amazing one was Guo Kunnan, who stayed in his seat and stared at Xin Youling's ponytail. He heard Xin Youling's whispering as she recited, as if whispering in his ear.

Xin Youling didn't look at Guo Kunnan, she was looking at the Chinese teacher Dai Yongquan.

Dai Yongquan didn't look at Xin Youling, he was looking at the dazed Guo Kunnan.

Dai Yongquan: "Next, let's..."

The atmosphere in the class became more tense.

"Guo Kunnan!" As this name fell, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly relaxed.

Cui Yu: "Open the champagne, Nan Ge is in trouble."

After Guo Kunnan was called up, he was silent for a few seconds, and then he remained silent.

Dai Yongquan's face was gloomy. In his eyes, students who did not love Chinese had thousands of sins.

"Xin Youling, you come to recite "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng." Dai Yongquan called her.

When he heard this name, Guo Kunnan's heart was suddenly grabbed and could not turn, so the whole world fell for her.

"Yuzhang Gu County... The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the colorful sky was bright. The setting sun and the lonely eagle flew together, flying, flying..."

When she recited here, Xin Youling suddenly got stuck, and for a while, she couldn't think of the following words.

At this time, her deskmate insisted and whispered: "Autumn water is long..."

Xin Youling quickly recited: "Autumn water is long and the sky is the same color. The fishing boats sing in the evening..."

Guo Kunnan saw the jealousy in his eyes!

He just reacted a step slower and failed to help his beloved. How could this work! Absolutely not!

Guo Kunnan stared at Qiang Li and faced this competitor!

Guo Kunnan retracted his gaze, opened the textbook, and listened to Xin Youling's recitation word by word. He cast a curse:

"May the heavens and the earth be blessed, and the spirits will be as urgent as the law. Kill the demons and exorcise the devils and show their spirits, pause!"

Originally, Xin Youling could continue to recite after she got stuck once, but because Guo Kunnan muttered behind her, disturbing her thoughts, Xin Youling got stuck again.

Seeing her pause in the sentence, Guo Kunnan immediately reminded her: "The poorer you are, the more determined you will be, and you will never lose your ambition to reach the sky."

Xin Youling was able to recite smoothly again, and Guo Kunnan began to chant again: "May the heavens and the earth be blessed, and the spirits will be as urgent as the law..."

Then Xin Youling was annoyed by him, and forgot the words again, and paused again.

Guo Kunnan reminded again: "Bo, a humble life, a scholar."

Xin Youling continued to recite, and finally finished reciting the whole "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" in a stumbling manner.

After Xin Youling sat down, Guo Kunnan was smug and wrote a small note to take credit:

"Nan, I'm glad I did my job."

On the south side of the classroom, Chai Wei saw that Xue Yuantong didn't recite the text anymore, and he said happily: "Give up?"

Xue Yuantong didn't reply. She rarely talked to boys except Jiang Ning.

Dai Yongquan continued to check: "Zhang Chi."

Zhang Chi: "I can't."

"Duan Shigang."

"Me neither."

Dai Yongquan took a deep breath and calmed down. He pointed at Xue Yuantong with a trembling finger:

"Recite it for them."

Chai Wei immediately showed a gloating expression. He knew very well that Xue Yuantong had just started to recite.

As a result, Xue Yuantong closed the textbook, stood up, and recited it fluently. There was no mistake in the whole process. She was countless times better than Xin Youling.

Chai Wei looked unbelievable and even a little confused. How many minutes did she recite it?

…

between classes.

Chen Siyu patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I was not hit, otherwise I would have been fined."

Dai Yongquan is a conservative teacher. Most other high school teachers have given up on punishment. He still follows the tradition. All students in class today who cannot recite the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" will be punished by copying it 5 times.

Geng Lu: "Didn't you memorize it during the holiday?"

Chen Siyu: "Just a day off, my sister and I went to the mall to play."

After speaking, she touched Jiang Ning.

In the past, when she and Bai Yuxia were sitting at the same table, she could just turn around and ask Jiang Ning for advice.

"Jiang Ning, do you know about mobile phones?" Chen Siyu asked.

"It's okay." At this stage, smartphones are in full bloom, and various flashing forums are active, which is quite interesting.

After Chen Siyu heard this, she felt stable. After all, she knew that Jiang Ning was reliable. She asked for advice seriously:

"I want to ask you, if I want to buy a mobile phone worth about 2,000 yuan, how much will it cost?"

Jiang Ning: "About two thousand yuan."

Chen Siyu: "Oh, I understand, thank you."

Jiang Ning: "You're welcome."

The conversation between the two was so smooth that Geng Lu almost thought she had heard wrong. Is her deskmate’s head okay?

After asking about the price, Chen Siyu said: "Is Meizu mobile phone easy to use?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "It's okay. It looks better. The small dot design is good, if you can get used to it."

Nowadays, Android phones have three diamond keys, while Meizu uses a small dot design, which is much more elegant in comparison.

"Which one should I choose, Xiaomi 4 or Meizu MX4?" Chen Siyu asked.

"If you pay attention to performance, Xiaomi 4 and mx4 will look good." Jiang Ning said.

"However, I saw online promotions that Xiaomi 4 only has four cores, but Meizu has eight cores." Chen Siyu was confused.

"The more cores, the better the performance."

Two years later, a brand called LeTV released the LeTV 2 mobile phone, which was claimed to be equipped with a ten-core processor. However, it turned out that "one core is difficult, and nine cores are watching", and the performance is unparalleled.

…

After school break in the afternoon.

Xue Yuantong rarely left the throne and went out for a walk with Jiang Ning. Seeing this, Geng Lu left with her good sister He Qingtang.

Jiang Ning felt very strange: "Why don't you let me pack it?"

Xue Yuantong stared at Geng Lu's retreating figure and said, "Packaging is so unhygienic. Didn't you watch TV and say you should use less plastic bags?"

“It’s quite environmentally conscious.”

"Of course." Xue Yuantong hadn't gone out for a walk in the afternoon for a long time and was a little unaccustomed to it.

"What shall we eat?" she said.

Jiang Ning's consciousness spread, and countless messages came in: "There is a newly opened restaurant that is not bad. It feels like home."

He led the way through the bustling crowd and walked south. The sign that caught his eye was labeled 'Dried Red Taro Porridge'.

"Just this one." Jiang Ning raised her head and looked at this restaurant from a distance, seeing the familiar sign.

In his previous life, he had come to this restaurant many times to eat. A bowl of dried red taro porridge, a steamed bun costing one yuan, and a stack of soy beans mixed with pickles were enough for dinner. It only cost 3 yuan, which was quite affordable.

He once invited Shen Qing'e to come with him, but unfortunately, she didn't come with him even once until she graduated from high school.

Later, after Jiang Ning graduated from university, he returned to this store. The boss and his wife had gone through a lot of hardships. At that time, he shouted casually, "Boss, a bowl of rice porridge for one yuan." The boss responded accurately, "I want some soy beans and pickles for fifty cents, right?" ? I’ll give you more sesame oil’.

After so many years, Jiang Ning never thought that anyone could still remember him.

Later, Jiang Ning found out that the price of the bowl of porridge had increased to 1.5 yuan, and the price of soy beans was 1.00 yuan a portion.

At this moment, Jiang Ning stood in front of this store, feeling as if she was in another world.

His return has changed a lot, but there are some things that cannot be changed. For example, the shop 'Red Taro Dried Porridge' appears again.

Jiang Ning opened the door and was immediately greeted by the proprietress in an apron, who introduced warmly: "What to eat? We mainly have dried red taro porridge, and..."

She was getting ready for introductions.

Jiang Ning took the lead and said skillfully: "Two bowls of dried red taro porridge, one dollar for pancakes, one dollar for steamed buns, and one portion of soy beans and one portion of pickles."

The landlady was stunned and looked at Jiang Ning carefully, confirming that she had never seen this student before, and his restaurant had just opened today, which was really strange.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Xue Yuantong let him order.

After sitting down, the two chose a remote seat. The meal was prepared in advance and served directly.

Jiang Ning took a mouthful of dried red taro porridge and tasted it. The dried red taro was cooked very soft, and the porridge was sweet and sweet, still the same taste as before.

He picked up the steamed buns and took another bite of soy beans mixed with sesame oil. It was salty and had a rich aroma, which went well with the meal.

He raised his head, looked at Xue Yuantong opposite, and asked: "Are you used to it? If you don't want to add more meat and vegetables, they have three types of braised beef."

Xue Yuantong licked his glossy lips and said, "No, I used to eat like this at home. I could eat several steamed buns!"

As she said that, she took another sip of porridge: "It's quite delicious."

Xue Yuantong ate the same set meal that Jiang Ning had eaten without any objection at all.

During this period, other customers entered the store. After asking about the price, classmate Huang Yuzhu also entered the store and greeted Jiang Ning and the others.

Of course, there are some wealthy students who will spend money to order some expensive braised vegetables, three kinds of beef for 18 yuan a portion, or cooked chicken for 17 yuan.

After Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong finished their meal, they only spent 6 yuan. The boss also gave a piece of cake, which fell into Xue Yuantong's belly.

After eating, Xue Yuantong followed Jiang Ning and walked to school.

Walking along the street, Xue Yuantong saw a tricycle on the side of the road, with a glass cabinet on it containing colorful candied haws.

Her steps suddenly stopped.

She tugged at Jiang Ning, meaning to tell him to look at it quickly:

"Jiang Ning, do you want to eat candied haws?"

"In no mood."

"Hmm." Although Xue Yuantong recently received red envelopes, half of her money was given to her mother and half to Jiang Ning, so she had no money on her.

Xue Yuantong asked again: "Jiang Ning, don't you really want to eat candied haws on a stick? It's very delicious, sour and sweet."

"In no mood."

Jiang Ning felt happy. He wanted to see when the hypocritical Tongtong couldn't help it.

Xue Yuantong looked down at his toes: "Hey."

"But I want to eat..."

Jiang Ning picked up her steps and moved forward.

"Are you leaving?" Xue Yuantong was nervous.

"No, I'll buy you candied haws."

Xue Yuantong suddenly raised his little head, surprised: "Huh?"

…

Night self-study is approaching.

Lu Qiqi came back from having her ears pierced, and Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan found the back row.

Lu Qiqi complained: "I'm convinced. I went to the store to get my ears pierced today. Do you know how the boss did it?"

Yu Wen: "How else can we fight? Use that gun?"

She also wants to have her ears pierced, but her parents won't let her. She plans to try it after graduating from high school.

"It's not a gun, the boss just pressed the earrings into my ears!" Lu Qiqi cursed.

Jiang Yanan was shocked: "Doesn't it hurt?"

Lu Qiqi: "The pain is okay, but it's just too cruel!"

Wang Longlong joined the chat: "It's really cruel."

Lu Qiqi sighed: "The store in Blue Horse Shopping Mall is still better than last time. The guy who pierced my ears was so handsome and gentle."

Jiang Yanan: "Last time I went for a haircut, there was a very handsome barber. When he smiled at me, I felt like I was in love."

Yu Wen: "After he cut his hair, he asked you for WeChat, right?"

Jiang Yanan: "Yes, he said like it on Moments and give me a discount."

Yu Wen covered her mouth: "I think he wants to pick you up, but he's so handsome, so you won't suffer."

Lu Qiqi: "Actually, there are many good-looking boys in these professions. Last time I saw someone was in love with a military training instructor!"

Jiang Yanan had a filter for this: "Wow, instructor! They must be very romantic, right?"

Ma Shicheng said: "It's quite romantic. I've also heard about the love between a military training instructor and a student. The instructor stayed in the girl's city specifically for her."

Jiang Yanan looked forward to: "What then?"

Ma Shicheng took a sip of wolfberry tea: "Later, the instructor went to the university where the girl studied and applied for a security guard job. Within a week, they broke up."
