Chapter 1420: Chapter 788: What a Coincidence
The office during the evening self-study class is quite lively.
There are students asking for help with their howork, so coming to get familiar, and so joking around…
The girl class monitor from Class 11, Xu Yan, one of the girls Guo Kunnan once loved.
She ran to the office: “Class teacher, what I am about to say may sound unbelievable.”
The Class 11 class teacher remained calm: “Go ahead.”
Xu Yan: “Our class’s Luo Jun ate the math test paper Wang ngng is supposed to hand in tomorrow!”
The Class 11 class teacher was briefly bewildered, then angrily said: “Oh typical Wang ngng! Using this excuse to avoid handing in the paper!”
The class monitor from Experintal Class 3, Chen Shuaishuai, ran to the office, claiming he was undergoing unprecedented isolation.
Zhao Jinyang from Class 7 expressed his desire to learn sports.
Jiang Ning watched these little incidents unfold, sipping tea, chatting leisurely with the gentle and generous Teacher Guo Ran, and overhearing Mr. Shan Qingrong furiously scolding a trio from Class 8.
“Duan Shigang, what score did you get in English? The score I would get stomping on your answer sheet is higher than yours!” Mr. Shan Qingrong scolded.
“Can’t you spend an hour every day morizing so English words?” Mr. Shan Qingrong scolded.
“Yu Wen, laughing, how can you have the face to laugh?”
Yu Wen imdiately stopped laughing.
Mr. Shan Qingrong glared at her and said, “Half of your brain is filled with water, the other half with flour. Once you think hard, it turns into paste. Spread it in a hot pan, sar so sauce, and it becos a pancake snack.”
Cui Yu: “Haha.”
Mr. Shan Qingrong imdiately stared at him: “Do you think you’re better than her? You have a head to think, legs to run, and a mouth to eat with. Besides rushing to the cafeteria to eat after school, what else do you know?”
“One of you is a dish, the other is just a food bucket!”
Yu Wen felt her dignity dropped when compared to Cui Yu and advised, “Mr. Shan, could you not use such taphors, please show so respect.”
Mr. Shan Qingrong: “What, am I working in a nursing ho?”
After lecturing for most of the period, Mr. Shan Qingrong waved them off: “Go back and study your books!”
The three fled as if granted a great pardon.
Mr. Shan Qingrong took a sip of tea and felt lighter as he observed the top student Jiang Ning.
He smiled and said: “Jiang Ning, you’re living well, just like those forr second-year students who were recomnded to high-ranking schools, so, are you interested in participating in competitions? Winning a provincial first place ans secure recomndation.”
He began showcasing future prospects: “Being recomnded won’t interfere with your attending classes here; then, you can do whatever you want every day.”
He felt that with Jiang Ning’s talent, perhaps he could try, and maybe win a provincial first place, securing recomndations to prestigious schools other than Qingbei.
Jiang Ning waved his hand: “Forget it, being recomnded makes it hard to choose a major.”
Mr. Shan Qingrong sighed: “With both you and Xue Yuantong being top students, neither wants to compete.”
But upon considering Xue Yuantong’s extraordinary performance, it’s not really regrettable, as she has the potential to compete for provincial top scholar. Though getting recomnded to Qingbei via competition is impressive, Mr. Shan Qingrong still aims for the provincial top scholar.
Jiang Ning lingered in the office until class was nearly over, and he ssaged Tongtong to call her out.
The evening was as dark as ink, the moonlight as bright as silver.
The titanium gray electric scooter glided along the asphalt road by the river dam, its angular, streamlined design cutting through the air.
Jiang Ning deployed a spiritual power shield to reduce the cold’s impact on Tongtong.
Riding at night in winter is really chilling, but Xue Yuantong felt no such cold. She raised her little hand, animatedly recounting the incidents that occurred in the class when Jiang Ning was absent, her voice crisp.
“Chen Siyu said her computer is prone to viruses, often requiring system reinstallations, and now she’s mastered the skill of system installation. Anyti classmates need their systems installed, they can find her.”
Xue Yuantong expressed proudly: “Haha, but I think she’s too clueless because my family’s computer never gets viruses!”
Jiang Ning asked: “Do you know why her computer keeps getting viruses?”
Xue Yuantong: “I asked her, but she won’t say.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ning thought, Si Yu was quite earnest, only liked to tempt girls like Bai Yuxia to stray.
“My mom said she’s making sothing tasty tonight, a night snack~” She smiled, her face pure and clear.
“But my mom won’t be cooking for this weekend; she’s returning ho for a ceremony.” Xue Yuantong said, “Even though we’ve moved to the city, the family’s traditions should still be honored.”
However, according to Xue Yuantong’s observation, her mom seed happy. Previously, her mom didn’t really like going to such events because she felt the expense, especially since now a ceremony costs at least two hundred yuan, and if relatives are getting married, even five hundred yuan!
Moreover, work was busy, and due to family circumstances, returning to the village often attracted so gossip.
But now things were different; her mom worked for Evergreen Liquid, a large company with a super high salary, and once laid off, nurous people would have nothing to eat, really remarkable!
Returning ho in glory is a deeply embedded wish in the bones of nationals, for dignity, ritual, and filial piety.
Who can resist such temptation?
Xue Yuantong whispered to Jiang Ning: “My mom also wants to buy a small car, saying she could carry lots of New Year’s goods at once. I blad her for being too materialistic, and she even gave a stern look!”
Reliving that scene made Xue Yuantong feel like her mom was no longer the hardworking woman who both worked and raised her, but rather a woman with true freedom.
Jiang Ning: “Buy it, having a car is quite convenient.”
Xue Yuantong then asked: “Do you want to drive?”
Jiang Ning: “I’m not old enough.”
“Do you want to drive later on?”
“A car can be unnecessary, but it’s best to have one.” Jiang Ning replied.
