Chapter 792: Chapter 472 Too Tight
River dam.
Jiang Ning placed the luggage into the gap in front of the electric scooter, and Xue Yuantong sat on it, speeding toward ho like a whirlwind.
“Wooooo, Jiang Ning, you’re so fast!” Xue Yuantong’s hair fluttered in the wind.
The electric scooter accelerated to 60 mph, and even though Xue Yuantong had guts, she was stunned by the speed, fearing she might accidentally flip over.
If the person riding the bike weren’t her most trusted Jiang Ning, she would probably be shaking in her boots.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning felt speechless inside. After hanging out with him for so long, she still acted like a loser, which was a real embarrassnt to him.
He urged Spiritual Power to speed up the scooter even more, and the speed jumped up to 75 mph, leaving Xue Yuantong feeling even less secure.
Fortunately, this stretch of road at the river dam wasn’t too long, and they soon arrived at the bungalow.
…
At the River Dam Bungalow, Butcher Zhang had gone to the street to sell pork, and Mrs. Zhang was sitting at the doorway peeling garlic cloves, looking at her son with disdain.
Zhang Ruyun knew well that after spending a whole sumr vacation at ho, he went from being the darling son to soone even the dog despised.
He stepped out of the room, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and unwittingly glanced towards neighbor Xue Chuchu’s house.
Compared to those diocre girls at school, Xue Chuchu was a true goddess.
It was just a pity that Zhang Ruyun had aged.
If youth were a dream, he’d ask for nothing more than another glimpse, just one more look.
Unfortunately, Xue Chuchu hadn’t been ho recently, and he couldn’t see her anymore.
Unable to contain himself, Zhang Ruyun waxed poetic: “How much sorrow can one hold, just like the spring river flowing eastward!”
Using this to express his inner sorrow.
Aunt Zhang had only elentary school education, but as soone who had been through life’s ups and downs, she could see her son’s soul had been ensnared.
She was exasperated with his lack of gumption, “Look, look, look, all you ever do is stare! Where’s your courage, why don’t you talk to her?”
“When your dad courted , he’d take to the street as soon as we t, to watch him slaughter pigs.”
Recalling the days, when Uncle Zhang swelled with the imposing presence of a butcher, one cut and a pig was down, hundreds of pounds of at — out!
Aunt Zhang had been deeply fascinated then.
Of course, the real reason was that in that era, soone who could slaughter pigs and sell pork was quite wealthy.
She rembered how in ’94, soon after they were married, Uncle Zhang told her that there was 200,000 yuan in savings. Back then, that could buy several top-notch storefronts in the urban area!
Unfortunately, Aunt Zhang was frugal in managing the household and always kept a tight grip on the money.
Twenty years have passed, and the rent for a decent storefront in the urban area is now 200,000 yuan a year…
Zhang Ruyun, upon seeing his mother act this way, felt embarrassed and covered it up: “When did I ever stare? I was looking at that tree over there. Hey, didn’t my dad say there was a hive sowhere?”
Aunt Zhang was his mother, how could she be fooled?
“If you really like the girl, I’ll ntion it to Hua Fengi. I think that young lady is a good one, diligent in her studies, and skilled in household chores and cooking. A girl like her is hard to find these days!”
After hearing this, Zhang Ruyun thought of Xue Chuchu’s looks and deanor, and it was impossible for him to say he wasn’t moved, but the truth was, he was also genuinely timid.
He quickly declined, “Forget it, I’m about to start school again.”
Aunt Zhang, seeing his reaction, was not pleased and urged, “Stop staring and help peel the garlic.”
Zhang Ruyun had no choice but to go to the doorway where their large wolf dog was lying on the ground. He kicked the dog:
“Give so space.”
The Black Back Wolf Dog paid him no attention.
Zhang Ruyun kicked again, and the wolf dog barely glanced at him with a dog’s eyes.
Aunt Zhang saw an opportunity to chi in, “Look, even our dog doesn’t like you. You’d better go back to school.”
At this mont, Zhang Ruyun really felt like he’s had enough.
He got annoyed, lifted his foot, ready to shove the wolf dog to the side, but as his right foot was in the air, the Black Back Wolf Dog suddenly got up from the ground.
Zhang Ruyun thought his boldness had intimidated the wolf dog.
But when he turned around, he saw a cool titanium gray electric scooter coming into view, ridden by Jiang Ning, whom he hadn’t seen for a whole month.
The large wolf dog enthusiastically approached, with its tongue out and tail wagging, as obsequious as a bootlicker.
Zhang Ruyun swore the dog had never acted like this with any of his family mbers.
Jiang Ning pressed the brakes, and the electric scooter revealed its sleek and sharp lines.
Xue Yuantong got off the scooter leisurely, with the large wolf dog by her side.
Jiang Ning called out, “Scram, good dogs don’t block the way.”
The majestic Black Back Wolf Dog imdiately cleared a path.
Zhang Ruyun thought to himself, ‘Who the hell does this dog belong to?’
…
Jiang Ning greeted Mrs. Zhang and then took Xue Yuantong into his room first.
He opened the door to find that the room had not a hint of being outdated, with the bed sheets and covers clean, and the flowers in the window boxes brilliant. The devil’s ivy leaves hung long like the waist-length hair of a young girl.
The entire room was ready to move in without any need for tidying up.
He divided the luggage with Xue Yuantong, then leaned on the sofa to rest, feeling a twinge of nostalgia after not being ho for a month.
As usual, Jiang Ning began to play with his phone.
In the class group chat, Zhang Chi was asking everyone for phone recomndations as he was planning to switch phones.
Due to his reputation, the group chat was very quiet.
Lu Qiqi said, “Wait a bit longer, the iPhone 6 is about to be released, you can get that.”
Cui Yu made a sarcastic remark, “Mr. Zhang is rolling in it, actually able to afford an iPhone 6!”
Zhang Chi felt irritated, if he carried cent for the entire sumr vacation, perhaps he could afford it.
Unfortunately, the weather had been too hot, and on top of being too exhausting, he had taken quite a few breaks. Furthermore, the construction site he found didn’t have work every day, so he didn’t have enough money.
Zhang Chi retorted, “Cui Yu, can you afford it?”
Lu Qiqi laughed, “Haha, an iPhone is indeed too expensive for you guys.”
Just as that ssage was sent, Cui Yu posted a photo, in which he lay on the bed, smirking lecherously, covered in many bright red banknotes.
