Chapter 174 National Day Holiday

October 1st, National Day, and the whole world celebrates together.

In fact, the holiday of No. 2 Middle School was a bit too hasty. I originally wanted to prepare for a few more county-wide unified examinations, but when I was on the holiday, I could only line up the exams back and wait for the end of the National Day holiday. The students were both happy and sad. What was happy was that after the National Day holiday, the Mid-Autumn Festival was immediately followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival. What was sad was that after the holiday ended, what was waiting for them would be endless exams, which was equivalent to almost completing the level in the game. Suddenly touching the hidden task, opening the hell survival mode, causing a group of new players who didn't even have weapons to fall into a daze.

On National Day.

Fang Ning's family is even more lively. Except for the difficulty in rushing back in Shenzhen for a while, the relatives who can basically move around at home come to his house. Anyway, those who call the name and those who can't call the name have all come. There are nearly twenty people, most of them are grandma's family members, and grandpa's family members rarely appear.

The reason for this is mainly to hold a banquet for grandma's 57th birthday.

Originally, it would be enough to just celebrate the birthday of "Sansheng", but who knew that he was dressed with the birthday of his motherland. Of course, there was a reason to be more grand. At the same time, there were also some family members like grandma who were looking for grandma. Although grandma ranked third in the family, the family was rich. Look, she lived in such a big villa, so it was not affordable for ordinary people. The family must pay attention to grandma.

The tables and chairs were temporarily moved from the office of the Xiahaian Community Property Committee. The bamboo woven chairs are easy to use and wear-resistant, and are much higher than those plastic chairs. They are spread all over the lawn outside the villa. These relatives sit on the lawn, basking in the sun, chatting and flirting.

The ground outside Fang Ning's villa is quite wide, and the weather is clear, so you can hold an open-air banquet. With such a large yard, the half-slope red tiled roof is covered with ivy, the violet vines are lightly roaming on the eaves, the fish swimming in the small pond are floating up and down, grabbing food. The others are camphor trees intertwined, the dome is covered like shade, and the rustling shadows are pulled down by the sun, and the rustling shadows are reflected through the branches, like a dream in the afternoon.

"Have the chef been in touch?" Fang Ning asked grandpa.

"It's time to contact me." Grandpa smiled slightly.

"Who is it?" Fang Wei also surrounded him.

"You will know then."

At around eleven o'clock, Fang Lan took a bus to the county and got off at Wanfulong City. After answering the phone, her grandfather asked Uncle Hai to come over and pick her up. After all, she didn't know where the road was.

Fang Lan followed Chen Hailin to Fang Ning's house and was still a little afraid to confirm that such a large house was much more grand than the commercial houses around. There were ivy creeping, camphor planting cloth, and white doves flying around in the distance. The high fence door was closed, and the small cobblestone road was spread out, which was winding, making people hesitate.

"Is this a trace of Lao Fang's family..." Fang Lan asked tentatively.

"That's right, but this house is not as expensive as expected." This villa was originally completed by Chen Hailin's introduction to the bridge, so he also knew it.

"Fang Lan, don't be nervous. Today is Aunt Mei's birthday. The guests are only relatives and so on. There are no leaders. If you are too busy, I will ask two people to come and help you." Chen Hailin said with a smile. He had a very good relationship with the Fang Ning family. It can be said that they were almost all people coming in and out of the family. Some words could be directly replaced by Fang Jiefang.

"Yeah, I know."

Grandpa and grandma also came over. The three of them met and sighed a few words. After all, they hadn't seen each other for almost four years. Since Fang Lan left, the farmhouse in their house has been completely abandoned, so Fang Lan felt a little sad and felt guilty.

In the living room of Fang's family, grandfather asked Fang Lan what she had been doing in the past few years?

Fang Lan sighed, "In the past four years, I have been busy all the time. I have gone to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but I have not earned much money. I am back. I help others with some wedding banquets in the countryside, and I have some money and some belly. It is a gangster life."

"In this world, spending money is easier than earning money. It is impossible for you to save the poor salary. People always have to eat, drink, defecate, and see that you are almost forty years old and will not be able to do anything in a few years. It is better to find a relaxing job. I have a small shop here, which is not big and also a hot pot. Why don't you come and watch the store for me?" Grandpa started to have family matters, thinking that her life was not easy, so I helped her.

"How can you bother with this?" Fang Lan rubbed her hands, a little excited and nervous.

"If there is no problem with you, I will make a decision for you!" Grandpa waved his hand proudly, and he really had the style of giving advice to the country.

"Okay, I used to work for you, but now I'm the same, so I'm not confused!" Fang Lan was also very happy. She could do things under her familiar old boss, at least she didn't have to worry about the harsh salary deduction.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to see what materials are there." Fang Lan was also impatient. Since she sold herself to work for Fang Ning's family, she became very angry. After all, it was almost noon, which was like a little in a hurry.

"No hurry, the materials have not arrived yet." As soon as my grandfather finished speaking, the horns cried outside.

"I'll go open the door." Fang Ning quickly walked out, called Fang Wei, and the Fang sisters.

Hong Huiping drove slowly into the yard with a black-painted fence in a van. Fang Ning and his younger generations gathered up. He parked the car and opened the trunk. It was filled with baskets of vegetables, fresh meat, eggs and tofu products, which were all ingredients used for banquets.

Fang Ning and his friends carried the baskets in the car and put them in the kitchen.

"Be careful, don't break the eggs. They are all native eggs bought in the countryside, which are very expensive..."

There were three tables of people at lunch, and a whole family took their seats one after another. The steaming dishes were served continuously like water. There were eight large plates of rice, eight hot dishes, and four cold dishes in the countryside. They were full of guests and were very lively.

Fang Wei got a set of audio equipment from somewhere. After plugging the audio to try the microphone, he held it in his grandfather's hand. He coughed twice, and the sound quality was normal, so he said some blessing words and then invited everyone to have a meal and drink.

Grandma, the eldest birthday grandmother, put on some light makeup today, looks very energetic, and always like that on her birthday, and she feels refreshed when she is happy.

Since the protagonist today is grandma, even the main seat of the family was given to her, and even grandpa went to the side to have dinner with his relatives.

A big cake was brought out by Fang Lan and placed on the table in front of her grandma. There were two layers of cakes and fresh cream, and many red candles were inserted on it. Fang Ning used a lighter to light up each candle. A bunch of relatives surrounded him, talking and saying blessings.

Fang Wei was the first to sing Happy Birthday, and they also sang along.

Grandma smiled and made a wish at the request of Fang Wei and Fang Ning, and then she blew out the candle.

Then Fang Lan brought a bowl of longevity noodles and distributed them to the guests present to some of the joy of the birthday star.

Today is destined to be busy. After the banquet, everyone wrote the gifts and left one after another.

The whole scene was left with a bunch of leftovers, and Fang Ning and the others needed to clean it. After cleaning it for a long time, they were so busy that they were too busy.

Fang Ning finally had free time and could take a break. He got into bed and lay down for a while. As soon as he narrowed his eyes and took a nap, Cheng Xi's phone rang, which made Fang Ning, who was originally confused, suddenly shudder.

"Hmm? Cheng Xi, what's the matter?" Fang Ning sat up.

"I have two movie tickets here. Do you want to go to watch the movie together?" Cheng Xi made a phone call while gnawing on the apple and smiling lightly.

"When did you think of going to a movie? This is not in line with your style." Fang Ning said with a smile.

"My sister bought it online. She originally planned to go to the movie with her roommate, but she couldn't go there temporarily, so she gave it to me." Cheng Xi honestly explained that Cheng Ying bought tickets online, but now she is lazy to go back if she wants to refund the tickets, so she directly cares about her sister Cheng Xi.

Fang Ning snorted and almost choked, "I thought you were so stupid that you wanted to have a romantic date!"

"Stop making trouble!" Cheng Xi said softly, with a hint of doting.

"Well, I'm not talking anymore, when will I go and see it?" Fang Ning coughed twice, and became serious.

"Tomorrow, I haven't read the tickets I bought carefully..." Cheng Xi's voice became much lower, so he got up to pour tea and looked at the movie tickets.

Fang Ning was idle and got up and waited for Cheng Xi to come back.

"I just watched it. The movie schedule is 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'. What a strange name. Is the protagonist an orangutan?" Cheng Xi asked and answered.

Fang Ning immediately understood when he heard this name. This was the movie that won the Oscar for Best Special Effects Award. The protagonist was Caesar. As for the content of the story, he had already blurred the impression and could not remember it clearly. When he heard Cheng Xi say he would watch it, he still nodded, "It is at least not a bad movie from the name."

"Well, that's the agreement. We'll get a ticket at 9:30 and gather at the door of No. 1 Middle School." Cheng Xi said.

"OK."

"Is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

"Then I'll hang up first."

The next morning, the fog on the street had not yet dissipated, and the fragrance of breakfast buns remained on the street. After walking around for several streets, the smell of this small town has always been the smell.

Office workers were waiting for the bus on the platform with their backpacks diagonally, looking listless. Office workers of higher grades drove out of their garage, bought breakfast on the street and left in the dust. The fog on the riverside was still very heavy, and the moisture along the river was heavy. The old men and mothers were running and exercising along the river, and their figures were looming in the white fog.

Fang Ning waited for the sun to come out and the fog in the morning had dissipated before leaving.

When he arrived at the gate of No. 1 Middle School, he looked at the time. At 8:30, he came half an hour earlier. He stood in this position and could see the students entering and leaving the gate of No. 1 Middle School. Most of these were boarding students who came out to buy daily necessities, and the business of the milk tea shop opposite was much better than usual.

Cheng Xi also came half an hour in advance. She was wearing white jeans, tied into a ponytail, and had a hoop at the tail. Her long tail was light and slick at her waist. She looked unexpectedly beautiful when she dressed up.

"What's wrong? I'm so stupid." Cheng Xi smiled and held his hands behind his back.

"Why do I feel like you are more beautiful today?" Fang Ning scratched his head.

"You mean I wasn't pretty before?" Cheng Xi gritted his teeth.

"The lotus comes out of clear water, and it is naturally decorated." Fang Ning pretended to be surprised and recited a poem from the ancients to praise Cheng Xi.

"Okay, don't be poor, have breakfast?" Cheng Xi has known him for almost three years. Three years have been long or short, but it is enough to change a person. Moreover, this year is the fourth year.

"No." Fang Ning replied.

"Then let's go for breakfast first."

Fang Ning knew that there was a noodle restaurant next to No. 1 Middle School, which was said to taste very good, but he had been there, so he didn't know where it was, but Yu Xiaole knew it, but unfortunately he took Liu Meiting to it.

Cheng Xi took Fang Ning away and soon found the noodle restaurant. It had no signs or any advertising signs. It was just an ordinary restaurant shop, which was inconspicuous at all. No wonder it was not eye-catching.

Fang Ning ordered a bowl of noodle soup, and Cheng Xi ate broad flour. There are rich ingredients here, and there are all kinds of pickled vegetables. You can eat them as you want.

The base of the noodles cooked by the owner's shop is not just soaked in soy sauce, chopped green onion oil, but first copied the vegetables and pork belly together, and then copied them into a bowl to make the base. Use high-bone soup that starts to stew at 4 o'clock in the morning as the soup. This careful noodle soup tastes very fragrant, but the cost is also very high.

The owner is honest and honest, and the money he collects is not expensive. A bowl of noodles with pork belly with vegetables and a poached egg is only six yuan. It is completely a small business and doesn't seem to make much money.

Fang Ning secretly wrote down the location of the store, thinking that he would eat here next time he came, at least he would be much more attentive and sincere than the noodle soup restaurant next door.

There are two cinemas in Pinghai Small Town, one in the old street and the other at the intersection of Chucai Road. After Fang Ning and his friends finished their noodles, they walked straight along the road towards Longmen Bookstore. It was about 300 meters away and they could reach the cinema.

It was still nine o'clock at this time, and there was still half an hour left. They didn't want to go in and wait. They first called out the movie tickets in front of the cinema, and then went to the Miyuan West Point opposite to sit and chat.

Two cups of coffee were held in the hands, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness.

Fang Ning remembered something, "By the way, how did Li Sisi's incident happen half a month ago?"

When it comes to this matter, Cheng Xi has a headache. This is the first time she has encountered a girl like Li Sisi, which makes her helpless.

Fang Ning saw that she frowned slightly and was a little surprised, so he asked what was wrong?

"To be honest, Li Sisi's imagination is really imaginative, and I can't keep up with her thinking at all." Cheng Xi didn't know how to evaluate it.
