Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 69
Seeing that it was almost time to go back to school according to the registration form, Jiang Ning didn’t delay any more. She made an appointment with Wang Yong to come to the Internet cafe at seven o’clock the next morning and hurried back.
The place where she could get hot water had a time limit. When Jiang Ning went there, no one was there, and her hot water bottle was also missing.
She hurried to the canteen to get food.
The people in the cafeteria were fewer than usual. When Jiang Ning came in to get food, the aunt who was cooking knocked on the stainless steel pot and shouted, “Hurry up, get your food, it’s time to get off work.”
Jiang Ning hurriedly took the enamel rice bowl to get rice. Maybe there was much rice left, but the auntie seemed to not care and filled the bowl with 2 taels of rice.
It was too much, and she couldn’t finish it. She went to the table drawer and took out Jiang Bai’s enamel jar. She picked up half of the rice and put it into his enamel jar before continuing to get food.
Maybe it was because of the weekend, but there weren’t many people there, and there was still a lot of food left. The chef, who usually only had a mediocre spoonful of food for two or two dishes, gave her a full spoonful, and even added another half.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw the sister was a young woman, and immediately smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you, Miss, you are so pretty.”
This made the young lady laugh, and she immediately gave her another spoonful of meat, and said kindly, “Next time you get food, come to my window, and I’ll give you more.”
Jiang Ning smiled brightly and said, “Young lady, you’re kind-hearted.”
Her compliments were sincere and enthusiastic. The young lady was so happy that she laughed and said, “You are calling me little sister, they all call me aunt.”
“Are they blind? They are already eighteen or nineteen years old. You could be twenty years old at most. Maybe you are not older than a few of them.”
In fact, the young lady was really young and very good-looking. She had an oval face, big eyes, a small nose, and diamond-shaped red lips. Because she worked in the kitchen, her hair was neatly braided on the back of her head.
The young lady’s big eyes were bent when she smiled, and she said humbly, “How can I be so young? I’m already twenty-five.”
“You can’t tell at all.” Jiang Ning’s eyes were full of sincerity. “You look so young. You look like a girl who grew up in a harmonious family. You can’t hide the happiness in your face.”
The young lady laughed and shook her head, “No, no, I’ve been married for two years, and my husband is an English teacher in our No. 1 High School, so I came to the cafeteria to make food, to be closer to him.”
Jiang Ning was surprised and suddenly thought of someone, “It couldn’t be Teacher Liu Shengli, right?”
“Yeah, you know him. He’s teaching the first year of high school this year.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Teacher Liu of the key class, who doesn’t know him? Because he is very good at teaching English, he is teaching the key classes in the first and second grades this year. It turns out that the young lady is Teacher Liu’s wife.”
The young lady was beaming.
Ever since she came to work in the cafeteria, she had been frustrated every day by the group of high school students whose eyes lit up whenever they saw the food. They didn’t care about her age at all and called her aunt.
She clearly felt that she was about the same age as them, only five or six years older at most. She almost thought she was an aunt.
One person just called Auntie, and everyone behind him also called Auntie. If anyone called her aunt, she would shake off at least two pieces of meat from the spoon.
She finally met the bright-eyed high school student. Seeing that there were only a few pieces of braised pork in the basin, she simply gave it all to Jiang Ning with a spoon. The enamel jar couldn’t hold it, so she used a spoon to weigh it down.
Jiang Ning had an enamel jar with food she couldn’t finish, so she put a lot of food in Jiang Bai’s enamel jar and sent it to him.
Unlike the first year of high school, which had two days off, the second and third years of high school only had one day off on Sunday. They also had classes on Saturday, but they didn’t have to study in the evening on Friday night.
It was said that there was no need to study in the evening, but the teacher did not go to the class every night to watch the students. The students themselves would still consciously go to the class to study in the evening. The main reason was that besides the dormitory, they had no other place to go. As for puppy love, the head teacher of the school was very strict. There were separate stairs for boys and girls on both sides of the stairs when going up and downstairs.
If they walked side by side, they may be targeted by the director of the Political and Education Office. Let alone fall in love, they couldn’t even be seen talking together.
The director of the Political and Educational Department patrolled every day with a big searchlight.
It was Jiang Ning’s first time going to Jiang Bai’s class. Because there was no teacher to watch the evening self-study on Friday, students could enter and leave the classroom freely, but they had to move more silently so as not to disturb others’ learning.
The front and back doors of Class 8, Grade 3, were both open. Because Jiang Bai was tall, he sat in the back row. Jiang Ning whispered, “Second Brother,” at the back door.
Jiang Bai, who was immersed in writing questions, turned around and saw Jiang Ning, who was holding his enamel jar and looking at him.
He put down his pen, took a long step, and walked out of the classroom door in two steps. “What happened?”
Jiang Ning put his enamel jar and spoon into his hand, saying, “I brought you some snacks.” She raised her head and smiled, then turned and left. She hadn’t had her dinner yet.
Because she came back late, the rice in the enamel jar was only a little warm. He opened the lid of the enamel jar and saw that it was full of meat.
Jiang Bai’s first reaction was to calculate whether his meal tickets would be enough to feed him and his sister at the end of the semester. But he didn’t refuse the late-night snack. In fact, he was also very greedy for meat. He was at the age where a half-grown man was living in poverty. In order to have enough to eat, he usually didn’t dare to buy vegetables at all. He could only buy two taels of cauliflower at most.
The cauliflower cooked in the cafeteria was comparable to the cauliflower cooked by his mother and his grandpa. Because the quantity was large, it couldn’t be stir-fried. They were chopped into small pieces and cooked in a pot. The result was crushed like porridge, especially suitable for toothless elderly people.
Fortunately, the chef in the cafeteria made it taste good, and the students liked it quite a lot.
He ate a lot of food, but because there were few vegetables, he got full at the time, but soon became hungry. After studying in the evening every night, he would go to bed hungry and wake up hungry in the morning.
In the three years of high school, he was never late for morning reading class once. It was not because he was so diligent, but because he rushed to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
He took the enamel jar into the classroom and put it on the table.
His friend next to him immediately widened his eyes when he saw it, “Fck, if you have any meat, please give it to me.”
His best friend was not his deskmate, but Tong Jingang, who was sitting in the last row a group away from him asking him to play basketball all day long.
