Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 70
Because of Jiang Bai’s experience of being dressed as a girl when he was a child, and because he had been beautiful since he was a child, he was always treated as a girl. As a result, his temperament became more calm and condensed.
He had a cold face when anyone spoke to him, which resulted in him not having any good friends during the three years of high school.
Being friends with Tong Jingang was an accident.
Tong Jingang was a basketball fan, and he especially liked to play it. Because Jiang Bai was tall, he invited Jiang Bai to play basketball every day after school. He was like a gorilla, but he liked to hold Jiang Bai’s shoulders angrily and act coquettishly, “Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, you are the only one in our class. We are going to fight Wuzhong today. Let’s go and kill those gangs.”
If it came to playing against other classes, Jiang Bai might not go, but in Wuzhong, that was a feud.
So he went half-heartedly.
Jiang Bai’s original intention of playing basketball was to get a tan, but he soon became their indispensable main force.
Although he looked fair and tender like a girl, he played fiercely, jumped high, and had good skills. He could block shots and three-pointers. He could also run all over the mountains and plains like Jiang Ning since he was a child. In junior high school, he ran more than 20 miles to and from school every day, and his physical endurance was extremely good.
From then on, Tong Jingang relied on Jiang Bai. He liked to call him to accompany him wherever he went. He also liked to eat with Jiang Bai. He also liked to grab his food and then pass his own food over to him. “I’ll give you mine as well.”
His family was from Wucheng, and was well off. He often brought some salted chicken, salted duck and other food from home to share with the basketball team. The one who got the most was Jiang Bai.
When he saw Jiang Bai eating meat, he couldn’t help it. He stretched out his hand and put a piece of it in his mouth, then gave Jiang Bai a thumbs up.
He was a local student and only occasionally went to the cafeteria to eat. Most of the time he went home to eat. He didn’t know that Jiang Bai occasionally ate with Jiang Ning those days.
He looked at Jiang Bai and laughed mischievously. Then he came over and whispered, “Who was the girl giving you the food just now?”
Jiang Bai glanced at him indifferently, as if looking at an idiot, “Didn’t you hear her calling me Second Brother?”
“Your sister?” Tong Jingang’s eyes widened.
Tong Jingang had never heard Jiang Bai say anything about his family, and didn’t know he had a younger sister.
He did know that his brother was Jiang Song from the previous class. Jiang Song had good grades, was cheerful and enthusiastic, was over 1.8 meters tall and strong, and had always been the main force of the school basketball team.
Jiang Song would greet Jiang Bai warmly every time he saw him, and he quickly got along with Jiang Bai’s classmates, but Jiang Bai had always been cold.
He always looked cold to everyone, but Tong Jingang, who knew him well, knew that that was not the case.
It wasn’t Jiang Bai’s true appearance.
“Your little sister has come to our school. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? No wonder you didn’t go when I asked you to play basketball that day. It was her first day of school.”
Seeing Jiang Bai continue to eat, he quickly grabbed his spoon and said, “Give me two bites.”
Jiang Ning pushed open the door of the room, and He Xiaofang, who was lying on the upper bunk bed, jumped up. She quickly turned around and looked at Jiang Ning, “Jiang Ning, you are back. I got you some water. I kept it there.”
Jiang Ning was away, so she was left alone in the dormitory, and was bored to death.
She was the second eldest of three sisters. She had been playing around with them since she was a little girl. She was used to living in a group with people around her. Suddenly, she was alone in the dormitory, feeling lonely and scared.
“Thank you.” Jiang Ning raised her face and smiled at her, gave her a meal ticket, and raised the enamel jar in her hand, “Would you like to come down and have some together?”
He Xiaofang waved her hands sheepishly, “No, no, no, I’ve had dinner.”
Jiang Ning opened the lid of the enamel jar, and the sour aroma of braised pork with pickled vegetables immediately filled the tip of He Xiaofang’s nose. Drool secreted rapidly in her mouth, causing her to swallow her saliva. The sound immediately made He Xiaofang blush.
“A sister gave me the last remaining meat and vegetables in the vat. It’s quite a lot.”
The enamel jar they ate from was issued by the school. It not only had the five-star red flag pattern on it, but also the words Wucheng No. 1 High School.
“I really don’t need it, I really don’t need it.” He Xiaofang had never been so ashamed in her life, but she still couldn’t resist Jiang Ning’s enthusiasm and came down shyly with a red face.
Jiang Ning gave her a few pieces of braised pork. “Is it enough to eat?”
Jiang Ning was not the kind of person who would rather be hungry than share with others. The enamel jar they ate from was already large, and the aunt who prepared the rice and the young lady who prepared the dishes even pressed it on her with a spoon. As if she was afraid she wouldn’t have enough to eat, she piled a lot of food on it.
It was already hot in September, and the food might go bad fast.
Even though she gave some to Jiang Bai and He Xiaofang, she still ate the rest. The two of them wiped the oil from their mouths with satisfaction and went to the sink to wash the dishes.
He Xiaofang, who ate braised pork in the cafeteria for the first time, recalled the delicious food and exclaimed, “The braised pork is so delicious.”
Both of them slept extremely contentedly at night.
Jiang Ning was still the same as before, getting up at dawn and going for a run, reciting while running.
She previewed the contents of the textbook the previous night. After six o’clock, she trotted to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then trotted to the Internet cafe.
Wang Yong had already bought breakfast and was waiting at the school gate. When he saw her coming out, he quickly gave her the egg pancakes he bought.
“I’ve had breakfast, you can eat it yourself.”
Wang Yong hadn’t had breakfast yet and was waiting for Jiang Ning, but he bought two egg pancakes.
He said, “Then you write first, and then eat when you are hungry.”
He followed Jiang Ning like a little bodyguard, following every step.
Seven o’clock in the morning was the time when the Internet cafe had the least number of people. Only two or three people had their computers turned on. There were a few people sleeping on the table. Most of the computers were empty. There was only one young person left watching the Internet cafe.
