Rebirth and daily cultivation

Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong stayed in the small garden for ten minutes, and the crowds on the main street of the campus gradually dispersed.

"Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the school gate. In front of the school gate was a long road of more than 200 meters. On both sides of the road were various shops, including small supermarkets, milk tea shops, stationery shops, spicy hotpot shops, and breakfast shops.

The long road is relatively spacious, and there are some modified tricycles parked on the side, selling various snacks, fried food, oden and the like.

The place Xue Yuantong wants to go is not this snack street, but the snack street that connects two nearby schools, the University of Finance and Economics, and the Vocational College of Commerce. The size of that street is several times larger than the entrance of No. 4 Middle School.

"Jiang Ning, you went back very late!" Ma Shicheng shouted.

He was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the small supermarket, holding a glass bottle of Coke in his hand with a straw in it.

Jiang Ning looked up at the small supermarket's sign, 'Yucai Supermarket. ’

"Planning to visit the snack street, you haven't come home yet?" Jiang Ning chatted with him.

"I'm going to surf the Internet inside." He lowered his voice and pointed to the inside of the 'Yucai Supermarket'.

There are some small supermarkets and restaurants near No. 4 Middle School, which on the surface are doing business, but behind secret doors, there are several computers hidden inside for the boss to make extra money.

It is close to the school and the price is not expensive, only two or three yuan an hour. Many students like to go in and surf the Internet and play games such as CF, DNF, and LOL.

Students who often come here affectionately call this small supermarket:

‘Yucai Internet Café’.

"Okay, you can play, let's go." Jiang Ning turned his head and glanced at Xue Yuantong. At this moment, the little girl was standing beside him quietly.

"Okay, see you next week!" Ma Shicheng made a cool gesture.

He watched Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong walk away, one tall and one short, and drank up the cola in one gulp. He was not envious. For Ma Shicheng, games were his favorite.

"Today's alliance will reward you with a Sword Master." Ma Shicheng said with intention.

…

After crossing the long road in front of No. 4 Middle School and walking west for a while, a bustling long street appeared in front of us.

Xue Yuantong's eyes were bright, like hidden stars, and she shouted:

"Jiang Ning, I want to eat moon cakes, fried crispy pork, Fuding pork slices, double skin milk, roasted gluten, and Yuanxiao. His hawthorn Yuanxiao is super delicious!"

Xue Yuantong reported several snacks at once.

"Have you finished eating?" Jiang Ning looked at her disdainfully.

Xue Yuantong said unconvinced: "I can, absolutely can!"

"What about you? What do you want to eat?" Xue Yuantong had just finished asking, only to realize that she had ordered a series of snacks and didn't seem to have enough money.

"In my words, mutton burrito, a glass of rice wine, and then some of your crispy pork, sliced ​​meat, and Yuanxiao."

Xue Yuantong did a quick mental calculation and found that it was okay, the money was just right.

After making the decision, she took Jiang Ning to queue. You two queued for one restaurant, and I queued for another, and quickly bought all the snacks.

When she came to Yuanxiao shop, Xue Yuantong still had enough money left to buy a bowl of wontons, so she decisively bought Jiang Ning a bowl of fresh meat wontons.

The counter of the Yuanxiao shop is at the door, and customers line up in a long line. Auntie puts the food directly into the bowl, and the customers themselves serve it to the table.

The Yuanxiao store is divided into two floors. The first floor is noisier, while the second floor has a better environment.

Xue Yuantong likes to go to the second floor to eat, but when carrying a bowl to the second floor, she is always worried about accidentally bumping into someone and knocking over the bowl. She is very nervous every time she carries a bowl.

She was hesitating whether to go to the second floor or not. She was confused when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder:

"What are you doing standing around here? If you don't go to the second floor to grab a seat, there won't be any tables if you wait a little longer."

Jiang Ning just scanned the second floor with her consciousness. If Xue Yuantong goes to take a seat now, he can still occupy the last small table for two.

Xue Yuantong turned around and saw Jiang Ning's face. He moved his eyes down. Jiang Ning's little finger was hooked on the snack bag, and his index finger and thumb were holding the wonton bowl. It looked very stable.

She curled her lips: "Are you okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly." Jiang Ning urged.

"Okay, I'll take a step first." Xue Yuantong took a step, then turned back and took away the snack bag hooked on Jiang Ning's little finger.

Xue Yuantong carried snacks: "I'll wait for you upstairs!"

She was agile and walked up the stairs. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the only table left.

Xue Yuantong wiped the tabletop and two chairs with a paper towel, and then put bags of snacks on the table.

She sat on the chair and stayed there, and suddenly it occurred to her that she no longer had to carry the Lantern Festival carefully, and she no longer had to worry about it, because someone would carry the bowl for her.

She was not alone after that.

Suddenly, a kind of numbness protruded from his forehead, and his heart seemed to be filled with something, at ease, moved, and happy.

The mixture of emotions made her feel extremely at ease.

Even though she herself didn't know why she felt this way.

It seems that when I was a child, my mother was sick once and didn't make breakfast. She was so hungry that she shed tears of grievance.

After her mother saw it, she endured her discomfort, got up and cooked rice soup for her, fried two steamed bun slices, and fried a plate of green pepper and potato shreds.

Mom finished cooking and went back to bed to fall asleep. She stood in front of the small dining table, just standing there in a daze.

The feeling at this time is very similar to that time.

She still remembers that there was no salt at home that day, and there was no salt in the green pepper and potato shreds, but it was the most delicious meal Xue Yuantong had ever eaten, bar none.

Jiang Ning put the two bowls on the table. Seeing Xue Yuantong's blank look, she waved her hand in front of her.

"Are you possessed?" Jiang Ning muttered.

Xue Yuantong shook his head, came back to his senses, and hummed:

"I didn't!"

"Okay, okay, let's eat!" She took a bite of Yuanxiao, stuffed with hawthorn, sour and sweet, and still tasted the same.

She poked the small crispy pork with a bamboo skewer. The surface of the crispy pork was sprinkled with spices. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was so delicious that she squinted her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

Seeing her eating so deliciously, Jiang Ning's appetite was aroused. He also took a bamboo skewer and poked the crispy meat. It was surprisingly delicious.

He ate several pieces in a row, causing Xue Yuantong to roll his eyes and rob her of all the crispy meat.

This 'Qiao Ji Crispy Pork' is an old shop. It was still in business until Jiang Ning graduated from university, and the business was very good.

When most shops join the takeout platform in the future, ‘Qiaoji Crispy Pork’ still insists on only doing it offline because the boss is worried that takeout will affect the taste and has not been launched online.

The same portion of crispy pork now costs seven yuan, but later it will rise to ten yuan, and then to fifteen yuan.

Jiang Ning loved eating 'Qiao Ji Crispy Pork' when he was in high school, but unfortunately the price of seven yuan per serving stopped him and made him feel heartbroken every time he ate it.

In fact, there are many delicious snacks on this street, but Jiang Ning didn't have much pocket money before, so he usually had to buy various things for Shen Qing'e.

There is not much money left, so I have to do everything.

His dream in high school was to one day be able to walk into this snack street, eat a big meal without worrying about money, and completely satisfy his cravings.

Unfortunately, this dream never came true during high school.

After many years, Jiang Ning graduated from university, returned to Yuzhou City, and walked on this street again. At that time, he already had savings and didn't care much about the cost of snacks.

Holding his thick wallet, he looked at the snack street that was as bustling as ever and recalled the past years.

That naive boy, the poor boy, those snacks that he could not afford, and the things he wished for in the past years are all yesterday.

"I can eat whatever I want now!"

"No one can stop me!"

Jiang Ning’s family ate one by one.

However,

He only ate two or three snacks and then couldn't eat any more.

Has the taste changed?

No, those old stores are still well received.

It becomes a state of mind.

Entering the society, all kinds of pressures hit, and the heavy reality is before his eyes. House prices, jobs, and futures remind him all the time that you have to roll in, roll in, and don't lie flat, otherwise you will be surpassed by others.

He did everything he could just to be a normal person.

That day, Jiang Ning stood in front of the long street, looking at the noisy crowd, silently finished the remaining food, and threw the packaging bag into the trash can.

Then he turned around and left, striding forward, and there was a long road ahead in his life.

Behind him, the embarrassed boy stood in front of the snack stall, chewing delicious food and smiling happily. He would never grow up.

…

‘I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and wine,

It’s not the same after all,

Junior Tour. ’

At that time, Jiang Ning thought he would never go back.

Thank you ‘Ah Biao’ for the reward.

Thank you 'Pandas will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter'
