Chapter 84 The weather is getting colder and colder, and so is my heart

Sun Jianguo was obviously having fun and asked Jiang Nian if he could use TikTok.
After Jiang Nian shook his head, he reluctantly made a request. After seeing Jiang Nian nod, Sun Jianguo ran to Yu Hu and posed for a photo and posted it on Douyin.
The accompanying text reads, "Look down on all people and things and accept the fate. The weather is getting colder and colder, and so is my heart. The greatest kindness of middle-aged people is to remain silent."
When Jiang Nian saw it, he was happy and gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Sun, you have depth."
Anyway, he didn't give away the space, the fish and the money were all his. Sun Jianguo spent a little money, not only pretending to be a big dick, but also picked up three big wild fish for nothing.
Win-win.
As for whether Sun Zhicheng in the class is embarrassed or not, that has nothing to do with Jiang Nian.
Your father is happy.
Well, both dads are happy.
At noon, Sun Jianguo enthusiastically drove the fish to Xu Qianqian's hometown. Jiang Nian rode his old motorcycle all the way back.
When the black Mazda drove to the door, Xu Qianqian was stunned.
Her grandparents were also confused for a long time and kept talking to Sun Jianguo.
"Master, our family didn't order fish. The banquet was held at the restaurant in front of the temple."
Sun Jianguo greeted Jiang Nian with a big water basin while dialing Jiang Nian's WeChat video call. This guy was still riding on the road, and he immediately understood when he saw the two old people appearing on the screen.
After a few words of explanation, the two old men felt relieved and happily went to get the basin.
Sun Jianguo was also a human spirit, and he roughly guessed that Jiang Nian had a close relationship with this family, but he didn't know whether he was a relative or an in-law.
He was afraid that the two old men wouldn't understand, so he turned to Xu Qianqian in the yard and said.
"It will die soon after being raised in a pot. It needs to be raised in a pond."
Xu Qianqian was a little confused, "The small pond in our vegetable garden has not been used for a long time and is completely abandoned."
Sun Jianguo thought for a while and took out the spare oxygenator he bought for more than 100 yuan from the car. He didn't lack the money, so it would be more cost-effective to pay Jiang Nian.
Many boss friends around him also love fishing. If you grasp the river year, you will grasp the future.
And he has already thought about his next TikTok copywriting.
[The wind was too strong and blew away my fish, just like blowing away my life.]
Xu Qianqian watched Sun Jianguo personally apply oxygen to the fish daddy in the basin, and also taught her how to use it. She didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Nian arrived on a bad motorcycle at this time, and Sun Jianguo greeted him with a smile and chatted for a few words. Before leaving, he made a gesture of contact before driving away.
"Did you catch these?" Xu Qianqian was still a little confused. She looked down at the fish and then at Jiang Nian, "You didn't buy it from that person, right?"
"Believe it or not." Jiang Nian looked unconcerned.
Men usually make this kind of gesture, and basically everything they say is true. If the genders are reversed, and a woman talks about her love in a nonchalant way, believe it or not, it's probably a lie.
Xu Qianqian believed it, "Hey, when did you meet that person? You seem to be quite familiar with each other."
"We just met not long ago, and we happened to be fishing in Xiaolongtan." Jiang Nian walked to the aerator, took a look, squatted down and said, "I found out after asking around that he is the father of my classmate."
"Oh, then how can I return this aerator to him?" Xu Qianqian bent down and looked curiously at the two pots of more than a dozen swimming fish, blinking her eyes.
"Just buy it. I just made a little money from him. I'll transfer the money to him via WeChat later."
"earn?"
"Well, I sold him three fish."
Xu Qianqian almost fainted, what an outrageous plot.
"By the way, Xu Qianqian." Jiang Nian stood up and saw, "Even if these fish have an aerator, they may not all be able to survive. You can kill a few of them."
"Why, why don't you kill!"
Jiang Nian spread his hands and said, "I am a guest."
"What kind of guest are you!" Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth, suddenly understanding someone's bad intentions, "You have to do it! Otherwise, you can eat instant noodles for lunch!"
Jiang Nian was as steady as an old dog, with a peaceful smile on his face.
Sure enough, grandma couldn't help but came over to break up the fight.
"I'll kill, I'll kill."
In front of the faucet in the yard, Xu Qianqian was squatting alone in agony, killing fish.
The floor was covered with white fish scales. Under the faucet, several fish were disemboweled in red plastic basins, and blood flowed out along the moss-covered ditch.
Jiang Nian sat on the wall, playing with his mobile phone and laughing hard, almost to the point of losing his breath.
"You're going to die!" Xu Qianqian held the kitchen knife in her hand and chopped it hard on the chopping board with a thud, "Get out of here quickly, don't let me see you!"
"That won't work. Do you know how hard it is for me to fish?"
"It's none of my business!" Xu Qianqian was so angry that she killed five fish and her hands were almost numb.
"Of course it has something to do with you, baby." Jiang Nian laughed loudly and almost fell off the wall, "You look so funny when you are angry. You have improved your fish killing techniques."
"You! I really want to chop your head off!"
"Wori, you are so cruel, it makes me feel like jade."
In the afternoon, Lao Xu drove back.
He seemed to be in a good mood and walked around the fish in the basin a few times with interest. Then he asked Xu Qianqian to go into the house and wake up Jiang Nian who had been sleeping for the entire afternoon.
The three of them went up the mountain carrying incense candles and yellow paper bags. Jiang Nian carried a chicken, and Lao Xu carried a red plastic bag containing incense candles and ingots.
The bag in Xu Qianqian's hand contained thick paper money.
Since Lao Xu had already swept the tomb yesterday, all the surrounding weeds had been cleared away. There were traces of burning paper on the ground. The expressions on the faces of the father and daughter were calm, and there were occasional smiles on the road.
Time makes people get used to it.
Jiang Nian was not very solemn, just like visiting his elders. He bled the chicken while talking. The bright red blood was stained on the yellow paper, maybe a little was stained and then burned.
It's a cloudy day and the temperature in the mountains is low.
When burning paper, scraps of paper were flying, and he saw goose bumps on Xu Qianqian's arms. So he asked softly if he was cold, and she shook her head.
Don't throw too much yellow paper at once, as it won't burn through, so Jiang Nian sped up the frequency of throwing paper into the fire. The flames suddenly became a little bigger, and the temperature slowly climbed.
It rains a lot in the mountains, the ditches are blocked by fallen leaves, or the soil accumulates and hardens for a long time. Slowly, the originally smooth and smooth tombs will accumulate water.
After lighting the incense candle, Lao Xu squatted over the ditch and pulled weeds. Holding a small square of pebbles picked up by the roadside in his hand, he patiently cleaned the uneven ditch.
After a busy afternoon, the area around the tomb was finally cleaned up.
The three of them rested for a while and prepared to go back.
Old Xu picked up the dead chicken and prepared to throw it into the river according to custom. The old man said that after dyeing the chicken into yellow paper, it would lose its flavor and could not be eaten. It had to be thrown away after use.
The extra incense candles were not taken away, but were placed nearby and weighed down with small gray stones. When I came, my hands were full of things, and when I returned, I left with the dead chicken.
When walking back, Lao Xu specifically warned him.
"Look forward, don't look back."
Jiang Nian didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent. He suppressed the instinct to look back until he was completely out of the col, and then he couldn't help but look back.
Lao Xu and Xu Qianqian also stopped and looked back.
The mountain is not very pretty, and is even a bit deformed. In many places, there are large patches of bald spots, exposing the yellow land, which looks dark from a distance.
The cloudy sky was dark and the mountains were silent.
Jiang Nian looked at it for a while and looked away, thinking that Lao Xu would probably come back here in the future. Judging from how diligently he cleaned it up, it seemed as if he was going to lie down in it tomorrow.
After going down the mountain, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.
Someone suddenly joined him in the class. Jiang Nian thought it was his "good eldest son" Sun Zhicheng. Unexpectedly, it was Lin Dong, and he immediately remembered the saying "Only idiots retaliate."
After passing.
(Lin Dong): "Jiang Nian, can I ask you something?"
"explain."
(Lin Dong): "Have you taken any other photos while fishing today? I have a cousin who heard about you and admires you very much. He wants to see the fish you caught."
"Cousin?"
(Lin Dong): "Yes, what's wrong?"
Jiang Nian wasn't too enthusiastic, "I only took the video in the group, nothing else."
(Lin Dong): "Oh, okay, thank you (Biya)."
"That's weird, where does this cousin come from?"
Jiang Nian only felt strange, but he was too lazy to think about it. It was getting dark, so he put away his mobile phone and prepared to wash his hands and eat. He would have to go back tomorrow afternoon.
The sports meeting will run from Thursday to Saturday afternoon, and self-study will continue in the evening. And starting from this week, the school will implement a make-up class system, and classes will be held on Sunday morning.
This means that, unless there are special circumstances, the school holidays will only be on Sunday afternoon.
The sports meeting is the last carnival.
After eating, Xu Qianqian went back to her room to do her homework.
Jiang Nian didn't bring his homework at all and didn't want to write. So he turned to Lao Xu to drink tea with him. Two grown men placed hot tea and melon seeds on the balcony on the second floor.
Looking at the dark night, the distant mountains of Qingming are hidden in it.
Lao Xu suddenly said with emotion, "Xiaonian, you have grown up and become a lot more sensible."
"Haha, that's about it. You're already in your third year of high school." Jiang Nian said haha, "You're already an adult at the age of 18."
But I thought in my heart that I am not sensible, I am just greedy for your daughter.
Buy a Wi-Fi and park it downstairs another day to measure your heart rate.
In fact, the buff of childhood sweethearts may not necessarily be achieved by applying it. Nowadays, this thing has become so popular that people who went to the same elementary school can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Same primary school, different village, what the hell does it count?
If you lick the dog, you will never be able to go to her elementary school.
Therefore, in a broad sense, childhood sweetheart is just a title similar to that of neighbor. Whether it is ambiguous or not depends entirely on the appearance of the two people and whether they are in love with each other.
Good-looking, childhood sweetheart.
It doesn’t look good, that is.
"My ugly neighbor often confesses to me in unintelligible dialect."
She is good-looking and close, so she should be thinking about her. With or without dates, who cares what happens in the future? Ambiguity can happen without any conditions.
"Speaking of which, you are now eighteen this year. Should you consider enrolling in a driving school?" Lao Xu said, picking up the tea cup and giving him a casual reminder.
Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, "It's time to sign up for the exam. Uncle Xu, do you know any coaches?"
Chapter completed!
