Capítulo 1250: Chapter 704: Freebie
Jiang Ning didn’t go straight ho; it was still early, and the sun was just right.
On the asphalt road by the river dam, a variety of stalls were set up, with vendors standing or sitting, busily greeting the passersby.
Fish sellers, fruit sellers, sellers of sheets and blankets, stalls with rabbits, a dazzling array…
Today is Saturday, a day off, and many people are leisurely strolling along the river dam, buying a little sothing while enjoying the sunset scenery.
Xue Yuantong hopped off the electric scooter, strolling along the road, while Jiang Ning continued riding.
As they wandered, Xue Yuantong bought two candied haws under the envious eyes of two little kids.
The money was paid by Jiang Ning because all her money was with Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong held up the candied haws proudly, feeling extrely smug.
The two kids beca even more envious, probably thinking, why is she so lucky to have an adult pay for her?
Xue Yuantong slowly nibbled on the candied haw and glanced at the nearby vegetable stand, saying, “My mom won’t be back until after 10 tonight, so we’ll have to fend for ourselves for dinner.”
Tonight, the Evergreen Liquid Group was hosting a celebration party, and as employees of Evergreen Liquid, Aunt Gu and Hua Fengi were eligible to attend the event.
“Should we buy ingredients to cook at ho, or have so tofu pudding?” she pointed to the tofu pudding stall.
Jiang Ning: “You cook.”
Xue Yuantong: “Alright.”
“What do you want to eat?” She wanted to eat everything she saw, but she couldn’t buy too many ingredients, or it would be wasteful.
Jiang Ning: “It’s pretty hard to decide.”
He thought for a mont and said, “Let’s call Chuchu over to let her decide.”
Xue Yuantong fully agreed with this thod because with Chuchu’s clear mind, she wouldn’t suffer from decision paralysis about what to eat.
Chuchu, who received the call, quickly ca over from the bungalow.
As soon as she appeared by the river dam, she imdiately attracted so occasional glances.
Xue Chuchu was already used to it. She joined Tongtong and said, “Let’s have hotpot tonight. I happen to have so big bones at ho.”
Xue Yuantong agreed: “That way, we can have more dishes.”
The two began selecting vegetables at the stall: lotus root, bean sprouts, greens, tofu… buying only a little of each.
However, the stalls on the river dam weren’t big, as they were temporary stalls, and there were no at sellers. Xue Yuantong worriedly said, “There’s no at; I want to eat boiled beef.”
Jiang Ning heard this, and his Divine Sense swept over the bungalows and found that Butcher Zhang next door got two jins of fresh beef today.
Butcher Zhang was a pig butcher who knew many people who butchered cattle and sheep. He was a hedonist, so the quality of the beef he got was quite good. It was beef tenderloin, and a premium one at that.
Jiang Ning calmly said, “Beef, huh? Simple, I got it covered.”
Xue Yuantong asked suspiciously, “Are you going to buy it on the street?”
Jiang Ning: “No.”
Xue Chuchu also looked at him in confusion, but Jiang Ning was a man she couldn’t see through, so perhaps he really had his ways.
After choosing so vegetables, Xue Yuantong wandered over to where there were little rabbits and chicks nearby.
The little chicks were tiny, covered in golden fluff, moving around like little yellow balls of fur, quite cute.
Xue Yuantong took photos to post in the class group chat, @Chen Siyu: “Look, look!”
Chen Siyu: “Wow, I really want to keep one.”
Guo Kunnan replied online: “Better not; they are cute when they’re small, but not so when they grow up. Anyone who raises chickens in the countryside knows how hard they are to take care of.”
Chen Siyu: “Alright, no wonder I’ve never heard of soone keeping chickens as pets.”
Jiang Yanan chid in: “Rabbits are nice. I’ve seen people raise them and even spent hundreds on rabbit treatnts.”
Zhang Chi: “Spending that much money? Crazy?”
Yu Wen: “What do you know, so people spend thousands treating their pets when they’re sick.”
Zhang Chi sneered: “This is so amusing, treating pets better than their parents.”
Dong Qingfeng: “You can’t generalize. To so people, pets accompany them every day and are a form of spiritual support. So are willing to spend all their savings.”
Liu Chuandao, being blunt, directly comnted: “Idiots.”
Cui Yu: “Spending all that money to save it, burning through the money that could save family mbers in the future, have they gone mad?”
ng Gui: “But you can’t deny, such people do exist. Many people in society treat their dogs like their children.”
It seed like a debate about pets was about to break out in the class group chat.
The class president, Xin Youling, knew that with over 50 people, everyone is multifaceted, and different family environnts and life experiences an any viewpoint would have supporters. If a war of words broke out, it would only result in a ss.
As class president, she should maintain the group’s atmosphere, so Xin Youling interjected to change the topic, proactively @Xue Yuantong: “Do you like small animals?”
Xue Yuantong: “Of course, I do.”
Xin Youling: “How much do you like them?”
Xue Yuantong admitted frankly: “How should I say it, perhaps in every al?”
Xin Youling: “…”
In winter, it gets dark early, and as the sun sets, the sky gets darker, yet the number of people on the asphalt road by the river dam keeps increasing.
Xue Chuchu thought, to eat hotpot at night, the bone soup must be boiled first, which is ti-consuming.
anwhile, Tongtong and Jiang Ning squatted by the fish stand, watching fish swimming in the big tub.
Xue Yuantong wanted to buy snakehead fish but found it a bit expensive, so Jiang Ning suggested that he would go fishing by the river for a couple of them later when preparing ingredients.
The fish stand owner said jokingly, “Young man, you’re quite the joker. It’s December, where would you fish for snakehead fish?”
Jiang Ning asked him, “Would you take wild snakehead fish?”
The fish stand owner finally burst out laughing, but he said nothing more.
Xue Yuantong saw the fish stand owner sneering and prepared to have Jiang Ning thoroughly wipe the grin off his face.
