Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 95
When Jiang Ning heard that she needed to sign 3,000 books, she was actually quite calm. Compared to the 5,000 books she had signed in her previous life, it was less.
She and Wang Yong cooperated tacitly. Every time she signed a book, Wang Yong was responsible for stamping her newly carved private seal next to her name. The ink pad was given to him by the teacher who carved the seal.
The two of them spent most of the day signing a thousand books. Afterwards, Jiang Ning still had time to go to an Internet cafe to write another 10,000 words before returning to school.
The guard looked at the sky, then at her, and said slowly, “You’re back.” He had already remembered Jiang Ning and asked her to sign in the entry and exit registration book.
Jiang Ning signed her name for the whole day and reflexively wrote the word “Ning Meng” in the entry and exit registration book, and then left.
He Xiaofang was the only one in the dormitory.
She had been waiting for Jiang Ning in the dormitory all day, and finally, she saw Jiang Ning back. She jumped up from the bed. She didn’t control her strength well, and her head hit the ceiling with a loud bang. She screamed in pain, covering her head but shouting happily, “Ning Ning, you are back!”
“Have you had dinner? Let’s eat together.” Jiang Ning came to take her rice bowl.
He Xiaofang slid down from the upper bunk with a shudder. She flicked her thick ponytail and said, “I’ve got some water for you. Let’s go get some food.” Jiang Ning noticed that she had put her shoes under the bed.
“Thank you, Xiaofang. You don’t have to do this next time. I will do it myself.”
“It’s okay. I clean my own shoes and I can do it for you easily. It doesn’t take much trouble.” He Xiaofang was very happy that she could do something to help Jiang Ning. If she was not allowed to do anything, she would be unhappy.
It was a pity that Jiang Ning washed the clothes she wore immediately after taking a shower. Otherwise, she would have washed Jiang Ning’s clothes with hers.
Jiang Ning still ate braised pork. The girl who served vegetables did not always come to the window where the meat was served. Jiang Ning never bothered to see which window she was in. She always went to the window where what she wanted to eat was served. That young lady, on the other hand, would say hello to her every time she saw her and even give her more.
Jiang Ning came back late, and the cafeteria was empty. The girl serving the food simply gave all the remaining stuff to Jiang Ning. The rice jar couldn’t fit it, so the girl even asked her, “Do you have a rice jar? I’ll just give it all to you. I’m off work too.”
He Xiaofang looked extremely envious. She had seen her preference for Jiang Ning more than once. Every time she saw Jiang Ning coming, she would give her more than others. She was lucky enough to have Jiang Ning. In the light of the day, she was also given more food.
Jiang Ning went to add some food in Jiang Bai’s rice bowl, and the young lady immediately closed the window and went off work.
Jiang Ning gave half of the braised pork to He Xiaofang, “Since you fetch water for me and won’t accept a meal ticket, you can’t refuse the meat.”
A bottle of water was one tael of food stamps, and braised pork was 8 taels a portion. Whenever she gave He Xiaofang meat every time, the girl would not accept it. Besides, that was not how friends interacted with each other. So she felt He Xiaofang could accept some meat.
But He Xiaofang, who felt that she had taken advantage, was still very embarrassed, “I just saw that you didn’t come back, and I was afraid that you wouldn’t get hot water if you were late, so I got you some.”
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, “I know, thank you.”
The place where they got hot water would usually be turned off at seven o’clock. On weekends, Jiang Ning would sometimes come back after 7 o’clock. Sometimes she got lucky and got hot water, but many times it was closed.
That day it got closed.
After Jiang Ning finished eating, she sent the prepared food to Jiang Bai.
As soon as Jiang Ning arrived at the back door of Class 8, Grade 3, on the fifth floor, Tong Jinggang pushed Jiang Bai excitedly, “Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai, your sister is here, has she brought us food again?”
Jiang Bai, who was concentrating on studying the questions, turned his head and actually saw the white enamel rice bowl in Jiang Ning’s hand.
“Are you here to deliver food again? You don’t have to deliver food to me. I’ll go and get it myself.” Jiang Bai said it, but there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart that he didn’t even understand.
Jiang Ning put the rice jar into his hand, saying, “The lady who serves the food gave me the last stuff. I can’t finish it by myself, so I brought some rice for you as a midnight snack.”
Among the three siblings, only Jiang Bai was most similar to Mother Jiang.
He did not have her bad temper, but Mother Jiang’s stinginess. Even more than ten or twenty years later, Jiang Bai still retained the habit of saving money.
He had very low materialistic desires for other things and only had two hobbies, one was playing chess and the other was making money.
Even if he had an extra hundred pounds of meal tickets, he would still be reluctant to eat meat.
She didn’t want to hear him say again twenty years later that he was often hungry and couldn’t sleep at night in high school and would wake up with growing pains when he fell asleep.
After the publisher’s royalties were paid, Jiang Ning became rich again, so she thought about going to Shanghai one weekend to finalize the renovation of the house. She also had to take a day off to get the real estate certificate.
Unless on a sick leave, it was very difficult to get a leave in No. 1 High School.
It was already dark when Grandpa Jiang returned to the village. There was no one under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Everyone went home to watch Justice Bao. The song “There’s a Justice Bao in Kaifeng” came from the TV sets in every household.
Grandpa Jiang hurried up the mountain.
Uncle Jiang had been living in the mountains for two days. He couldn’t eat well or sleep well. There were mosquitoes everywhere on the mountain. Uncle Jiang felt that if Grandpa Jiang didn’t come back, he would be carried away by mosquitoes.
When he saw Grandpa Jiang coming back, he didn’t wait for a second. He immediately threw down the big cattail leaf fan in his hand and went down the mountain in the dark. Before he got home, he shouted, “Guixiang, Guixiang,” at the top of his lungs. When the figure came out of the house, he finally felt comfortable and shouted, “Guixiang, give me a bowl of noodles quickly.”
The neighbor heard Uncle Jiang’s shouting and came out to tease him, “Oh my God, you have been a couple for so many years, and can’t live apart even for a day.”
