On the way back to Xiangshan Village, because there were many people in the car, Xie Zheng could only hold Xu Rui and give up the position to an old man.

"Ruirui, do you have any friends who can play in school?"

Xu Rui nodded, "Yes, I have many good friends, including Li Weiguang, Zhang Jianing, Lin Xi... Anyway, there are many."

"Why don't you play with your good friends during the summer vacation?" Brother Zheng looked at him helplessly. You have many friends, so just go to your friends to play with. Don't bother my girlfriend all day long.

Ruibao blinked, "I want to play with my sister."

Well, I've gone back again.

Seeing Xie Zheng sighing while she said considerately: "I also want to play with my brother."

"..." Xie Zheng pulled the kid up and lowered his head to rub his little head, "Brother also likes to play with you."

But occasionally, I would give my brother and sister some space, but my uncle would smash it.

After the three got off the bus at the intersection of Xiangshan Village, they saw that Zhang Meng and his brother were already waiting for them under the shade of the tree.

"Xu Ning, you have arrived. I've been waiting for half an hour." Zhang Meng stepped forward in three or two steps.

Last night, Xu Ning called her village, but Zhang Meng was so happy when she received the call. The two made an appointment to meet at the entrance of Xiangshan Village at half past ten years, and then went to the market together to have dinner at Xu Ning's house at noon.

"I've told you the specific time. Today is hot and you're out so early. The market will end at least one or two o'clock." Zhang Fan is now in middle school and is also a very sensible boy. After hearing Xu Rui call him brother, he felt a heroic feeling and led Xu Rui in front.

Zhang Meng raised her hand to cover her forehead, "I can't stay at home, so I'll come out for a walk in advance. Who knows that I'll come out a little early."

You can meet many classmates from junior high school at the market. After all, this is the only market in all places, and junior high school is also in this position. Every time you go to the market, even if you don’t buy anything, many people will come to the market to stroll around for two rounds to enjoy the pleasure.

Xu Ning has not changed much from a few years ago. Her appearance is nothing more than a little open, and she is more beautiful than before. However, the outlines of her eyebrows and eyes can be recognized at a glance. Moreover, her clothes are obviously much fashionable, and walking on the street can always attract the attention of many people.

Xu Ning and his group have indeed seen several classmates in junior high school, but they have never spoken. They just have a vague impression. As for the teachers in the school, they rarely meet them. After all, many teachers are now on summer vacation, and the teachers who teach in this junior high school generally have no locals. However, Xu Ning knows that Teacher Zhou Yan has been transferred to the city's high school to teach, which was the case when she was in high school.

There is no firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, so I still have to sell it now. I don’t need too much vegetables. They only live in the village for about ten days and half a month, so Zhang Meng should come here to play with them every day.

Xu Ning also planned to take advantage of this time to go to the county to see several of her high school teachers. It is rare to come back, and it is hard to say whether there is time in the future.

I bought a lot of things, big bags and small bags, and when I walked into the village, I saw several elderly people enjoying the cool air in the alley. When I saw Xu Ning and Xie Zheng coming back, they were surprised on their faces and would greet them with a smile.

In fact, neither Xu Ning nor Xie Zheng were very familiar with the people in Xiangshan Village.

The two elders of the Jiang family are very popular in the village, but Xie Zheng is not a person who likes to visit. When he was a child, he almost always played with a few limited friends such as Zhou Tao, and most of the time he spent with Xu Ning.

As for the Xu family, it is because of Yu Chunhua's sharp words that many people in the village are unwilling to come into contact with this family. Just two years ago, the days of the Xu family were up, and the villagers were able to chat with Yu Chunhua.

Turning into the entrance of the alley, they saw a man leaning against the door of the Jiang family, with a piece of weed in his mouth.

"I said Xie Zheng, you said you would come back at 9:30. It's already twelve:30. What are you cheating me?" Zhou Tao saw them, patted his butt and stood up, and asked Xie Zheng with a look of indictment.

Xie Zheng put the things he bought at the door, "I mean I arrived at home at 9:30, but I didn't have food at home, so I went to the market and bought some things back. Do you want me to go hungry for half a month at home? Let's go with me to get the keys."

Before the Xu family went to the imperial capital, they handed over the keys to Xu Shuangquan, so that he could help them occasionally to all the houses so that they would not get moldy.

Zhou Tao took two steps to follow Xie Zheng, then thought of something, turned around and grinned at Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, you are more beautiful."

"Thank you." Xu Ning couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Tao did not get out of the exam, but his grades were pretty good. He was admitted to a university and studied in the Department of Archaeology.

After graduation this year, I don’t know whether he will work or continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but according to Zhou Tao’s personality, he will probably find a museum to stay.

"I saw you sing on TV. You are famous now." Zhang Meng's legs were weak when she walked around the market. When the two men left, she sat directly on a stone platform beside the wall in front of the Xu family. The stone was cold and dispelled some heat.

"Actually, I'm quite famous if I don't rely on singing." Xu Ning smiled pretty.

Zhang Meng laughed and said, "That's right, the name Xu Ning is very famous. But before, people didn't know that you, the top student in science, are such a beautiful girl. Sometimes I think God loves you very much and feels that you can easily achieve anything you do."

"You don't know how hard I work hard." Xu Ning sighed, "I read books very late every day, and I study for a long time. What I rely on is not God's love, but on my own diligence and hard work."

"This is true." Zhang Meng is still very familiar with Xu Ning's efforts, otherwise she would probably waste her time in this yellow land now, and she would not have the chance to go to the Modu City to study in college. Seeing Xu Ning work so hard, she would unconsciously let people follow her steps.

Xie Zheng and the others went there for more than ten minutes. When they came back, Xu Ning had already picked all the leeks.

"You guys have a great chat?" Xu Ning stood up and looked at Xie Zheng.

Xie Zheng raised his hand to divide the popsicles he bought, and there were still a lot left, and he was about to enter the house and stuff it into the refrigerator.

"Buy popsicles to apologize." Zhou Tao laughed and said, "You village chief is so enthusiastic. If you weren't here waiting for us to come back, you might have to take us to have dinner at their house. But Xie Zheng, do you think your village chief's wife is a little over? It's obvious that she wants you to marry her daughter, but that girl..."

"Can you shut your mouth?" Xie Zheng glanced at him sideways, and he really had no eyesight at all.

Zhang Meng asked for no reason: "What's wrong with that girl?"

"Too fat." Zhou Tao's temper is destined to have difficulty with emotional intelligence, "It's better to be two and a half years old than you."

"What's wrong with the fat girl? You're discriminating, as long as you're good at it." Zhang Meng followed Xu Ning into the house and took a bite of the popsicle, which made her feel cool and comfortable.

Xu Ning didn't take it to heart. When Jiang Jiahao was still in the village, the village chief's wife wanted to match her little daughter to the other party, but she couldn't do it. Now that Xie Zheng is so promising, the other party will definitely be moved.

In fact, the village chief’s wife is not bad, but it is a bit realistic, but this also knows how to look at people’s faces.

Besides, finding a good husband for your daughter is not a shameful thing. If it fails, what if it happens?

After entering the house, Zhang Fan and Xu Rui ate popsicles on the kang and watched TV. The TV was always in the master bedroom and could still watch it after opening it. There are not many TV stations these days, and there is no need to pay any fees. You just need to pay some electricity bills.

"What dish to cook at noon?" Zhang Meng asked while standing in the kitchen.

"Let me see." Xu Ning took out the vegetables he bought, "It's better to stir-fry cabbage, leek eggs, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, and make a braised prawns with oil, and add a tomato and egg soup..."

Speaking of this, she added, "Is the canned food in my pocket enough?"

"Of course enough, this is already a lot." Zhang Meng took off her coat and wore a short-sleeved shirt. "Where is Chaicao?"

"Don't move, let Brother Zheng help me get it." Xu Ning said.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng raised his foot and went out to carry the firewood.

Zhou Tao can't cook, but he still brought a stool to help. He held a small axe in his hand and took out the bought ribs from the plastic bag, and cut the ribs into small pieces.

"Brother Tao, have you started working?" Xu Ning asked.

"Yes, now in Jiangcheng Museum, archaeology can actually learn a lot in the museum. The director said he is an honorary professor in the Department of Archaeology of Jiangcheng University. In this way, I can learn more with him nearby, but I don't know when I can go to the excavation site.

.Our director goes to the scene all over the country every year. He just came back from Qincheng before I went to the museum, so I was really unlucky." When it comes to archaeology, Zhou Tao's expression was very excited, and he obviously liked this industry.

"It will be your turn sooner or later." Zhang Meng comforted.

"That's right, I just graduated and am still a novice. Even if I encounter situations when I run to the excavation site, I will still be there to fight, but I'm very excited to think about it."

Xie Zheng took back the firewood and went to the west room to find two quilts to dry on the clothesline in the yard. The quilts have not been used for a long time. Although they are all sealed in large plastic bags, they will also return to moisture. Now the sun is so strong that after a while, the quilt will become soft and fluffy, and it will be very comfortable to lie on them at night.

Of course, I didn't forget to hang up the mat and expose it to the sun.

"How long are you going to stay in the village?" Zhou Tao finished packing the ribs and went to the sink in the yard to wash his hands.

"Ningning will stay here for about half a month from summer vacation until September, mainly in the lotus pond behind..." Xie Zheng said to Zhou Tao before he finished speaking, "Go to take a bath there tonight?"

"Okay, I just happened to take a bath there and I could have a comfortable sleep when I got home."

The food was very rich at noon. Zhang Meng made fire to Xu Ning and cooked the dishes. The food was very fast. Soon the house was filled with the fragrance of the food.

On the big kang, six people gathered around the table to have a feast.

"Xu Ning's cooking is getting better and better." Zhou Tao praised her with great face.

Xu Ning curled his lips. These dishes were not as good as those found in the space. However, when cooking, she secretly injected some space water into the bucket, otherwise the taste would have been very ordinary.

"If you like it, eat more. The weather is hot now and the food cannot be kept for too long."

"Don't you have a refrigerator at home?" Zhang Meng said: "Put it in refrigerated and continue eating tomorrow."

"There are still many dishes, don't be polite."

The few people were so full that they wanted to sleep after lunch.

Xu Ning ignored them and let the four of them be lazy on the kang. She took Xu Ning to the house where Xie Zheng lived, and the two of them lay on the bed.

"Xu Ning, are you in love with Brother Xie Zheng?" Zhang Meng asked with some uncertainty.

The reason why she was uncertain was that the relationship between the two was too ordinary, and this normality made her feel a little abnormal.

Xu Ning didn't intend to hide it from her, and nodded and said, "It's been several years."

"Several years?" Zhang Meng exclaimed. The hiddenness was too deep. She didn't notice it at all. "I didn't see it."

"It's better to tell the world if I'm better to tell you." Xu Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "I was just in high school at that time. If someone else knew about it, the Tsushishizi wouldn't drown me?"

"That's true." Zhang Meng sighed, "Before I walked out of the village, I felt that the world was so big, but now looking back at myself, I had too little knowledge. It is popular here for our parents to order and matchmakers. Outside, everyone is holding high the banner of the new society and falling in love freely. If I ask me to say that free love is very good, at least I don't need to marry blindly, and the parents' vision is different from ours after all."

Thinking about 6 Xuejiao, although they were disgusted with each other when they were young, I felt very sad when I thought of her expression when she walked with that man.

What a proud person in school, but now I have been wronged for a good life.

If she had worked hard at the beginning and had to rely on her own hands to earn a good life in the future, why should she rely on the man she didn't like?

However, on the one hand, I think about the man's money, and on the other hand, I think the other party is not worthy of her. This is also quite funny, which is a bitch and wants to work hard.

After all, it is not worthy of pity.

"You have to find a good man to be with you in the future." Xu Ning said softly.

Zhang Meng was not shy and nodded happily, "I think so too, but I'd better enrich myself first and talk about the relationship later."

After not long after chatting, the two of them gradually fell asleep.
