Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 64
Wang Ailan patted the dust off her body with her sleeves, saying, “Wasn’t Ning Ning admitted to No. 1 High School? Didn’t she go to school?”
Mother Jiang was startled. It was really possible.
She said goodbye to Wang Ailan and hurried home to ask Father Jiang. After getting the exact answer from him, she was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
“She didn’t take my words to heart at all. She turned a deaf ear to them. I asked her to go to work, but she actually dared to go to school?” As she said that, she wanted to rush to her school and beat her.
Father Jiang said impatiently, “Okay, her tuition has been paid, what’s the use of looking for her now?”
“What’s the use? I want her to come back and move bricks and give me all the money.” She turned to Father Jiang angrily. “Jiang Guoping, did you give her the money to pay her tuition?”
“Where will I find money? The money I make has been given to you,” said Father Jiang with a nonchalant look on his face.
“Then where did she get the money?”
“She probably made money selling crayfish.”
“The tuition fee plus books and miscellaneous fees cost more than 700 yuan. How can she earn more than 700 yuan by selling crayfish for ten days at most? You are fooling me. If the money is so easy to make, you also sell crayfish every day and bring me more than seven hundred yuan. Tell me honestly where she got the money.” Mother Jiang grabbed his clothes.
Father Jiang lifted her hand and grabbed it, “You also know that the tuition is more than three hundred, and the books she uses are from her brothers. As for other tuition and miscellaneous fees, she won’t take the courses since she doesn’t have money. She also won’t need to buy clothes as she could wear school uniforms.”
The uniforms issued by the school were very cost-effective. There were two sets of sportswear suits in spring and summer. They were wear-resistant and durable. They were rare and good clothes for many students born in poor families. They wished they could wear them all the time in one year. Even if they wore them all the time in one year, they could last long.
Therefore, as long as the family was not poor, they would be willing to buy a set of school uniforms for their children. The older sister could wear it then pass it on to the younger brother who could pass it on to the younger sister. It could be used as a family heirloom.
When Jiang Ning picked up her school uniform, she specially picked a big size. When she wore it, it looked like she was wearing a sack. The classmates in the dormitory laughed at her. Why did she choose such a big uniform?
At that time, Jiang Ning said with a smile. “Even though I am short now, I have great stamina and will grow fast.”
It made the girls in the dormitory laugh. Little did they know that Jiang Ning was telling the truth.
Mother Jiang was originally angry that she wanted to go to her school and let them return all the money, but she was afraid that she would not get the money and would have to pay for two trips in vain. The round trip from Shuibu Town to Wucheng cost at least five yuan.
That did not include the road from the bus station to No. 1 High School. Although it was not too far, it was not a short distance to walk. Mother Jiang couldn’t bear to part with the five yuan, so she wanted to wait for her to come back for food. The girl could stay at school for a month or two. She had to come home for rations unless she wished to starve to death. That was how she controlled Jiang Ning’s food rations in her previous life.
At that time, she didn’t know that Father Jiang took care of it in order to save travel expenses. Since receiving the two hundred kilograms of food stamps from Father Jiang, Jiang Ning no longer ate salted fish and beans every day. She would go get vegetables to eat. She knew very well that eating only carbohydrates and salted fish and pickles was not enough nutrition. She was in a critical period of growth and development. Failure to keep up with nutrition would not only affect brain development, but also physical development.
Well, Jiang Ning was the beautiful Princess Taiping in her previous life.
With money and meal tickets, she didn’t hesitate to eat vegetables. Sometimes she would buy two ounces of cauliflower that was thinly chopped, sometimes she would make three ounces of green peppers and buy dried beans, and sometimes she would buy eight ounces of braised pork with pickled vegetables, and sometimes braised pork and cauliflower together, eating a pound of food stamps in one meal.
The braised pork with pickled vegetables cooked in the canteen was very delicious.
There was no meaty smell at all. The sour aroma of pickled vegetables was blended into the braised pork. The soup was mixed with rice and Jiang Ning could eat a large porcelain bowl with rice every time.
She actually had never eaten a bite of such delicious braised pork in her previous life.
As if to make up for the regrets of her previous life, Jiang Ning went to eat braised pork every now and then. It was almost like two different people from when she first started school, eating salted beans and salted fish every day.
But everyone was surprised. On such hot days, the food brought from home would become moldy if it was not eaten quickly. Everyone who brought food from home would eat it first, and then eat food from the cafeteria.
Everyone was very economical. What they ate the most was two tablespoons of cauliflower. Those with better family conditions ate dried beans with green peppers. Most of the boys ate braised pork. There were also very few girls who ate braised pork.
No one ate braised pork and cauliflower in one meal like Jiang Ning.
Sometimes when she met Jiang Bai, seeing how shabby he was and only ate salted fish, Jiang Ning would kindly add two pieces of braised pork to Jiang Bai’s bowl, two pieces, just two, no more.
Jiang Bai was very worried. If she kept on eating like that, she wouldn’t be able to afford food until the end of the semester. She would run out of food stamps, and she would be reluctant to buy vegetables. At that time, he would have to give some to Jiang Ning, so she wouldn’t starve to death.
Jiang Ning’s food was better, and there came changes in her physique visible to the naked eye.
First, some flesh grew on her cheeks, and second, her breasts, which were originally only slightly raised, slowly swelled into small steamed buns. The more obvious feature was that Jiang Ning got her period.
Jiang Ning still remembered the first time she had her period in her previous life. It was also in school. No one taught her. She thought she had a terminal illness and was going to die. She was scared and sad alone. It was her deskmate who was three years older than her, who laughed at her, told her what was going on, and took her to buy sanitary products.
Jiang Ning didn’t even have money to buy sanitary products, so she borrowed them from her deskmate. Instead of getting the money, the girl directly lent her the sanitary products and told her to put them on her panties.
