After school in the afternoon, because the rain has not diminished, the entire school seems particularly congested. Some parents feel sorry for their children and simply wear straw raincoats or umbrellas to pick up their children after school.

Today is Xu Ning on duty and needs to clean the indoor hygiene. He did not rush to leave after school.

Xie Zheng finished tidying up his schoolbag and asked Zhou Tao to leave first, "Xu Ning is on duty today, so you can go with them first."

Zhou Tao blinked, "I can wait for you."

"It rains today, don't wait." Xie Zheng looked at him, thinking that he and Zhou Tao finally dropped out of school because they returned to the imperial capital. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's impossible for you and Xu Ning to get together. It's better to read more books and do a few questions when you have this time."

It is true that Zhou Tao likes Xu Ning, but he probably didn't realize that Zhou Tao's likes are very superficial, and he only likes Xu Ning's face.

Xie Zheng could see this clearly, but Zhou Tao thought he was a love saint here and did not think deeply about it.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhou Tao is a bad boy. On the contrary, he is very humorous and humorous and straightforward, but this does not mean that he can end his relationship with one another.

"Why do you say such things?" Zhou Tao's face was a little overwhelmed, "You can't make decisions for her."

Xie Zheng looked at Zhou Tao and wanted to continue saying something, but in the end he swallowed the words from his mouth.

He picked up his schoolbag and looked at Zhou Tao at the end, "That's all you say, you can do whatever you want."

One is Xu Ning and the other is his friend. Xie Zheng also had various headaches in the middle.

Xu Ning is still kept in the dark and didn't know anything, but Zhou Tao always asks about Xu Ning's affairs openly and secretly every day. If you ask too much, no matter how good your temper is, you should be annoyed. If you really have to do it, you can rush up to express your feelings to the other party. Cheng or not are both a matter of stretching your head and shrank your head. What's the matter if you are tangled with him all day long?

Looking at Xie Zheng disappearing into the rain outside the classroom, Zhou Tao also felt that he was wrong. He knew that he was so angry that he was just angry. He also knew that he always asked Xie Zheng about Xu Ning these days, but Xie Zheng was always careless, but he didn't know. But what could he do? He liked Xu Ning, who made Xu Ning look so beautiful? Asking about Xu Ning's actions in private is nothing, right?

In the second grade of junior high school classroom, Xie Zheng walked in.

"Brother Zheng will find a place to sit for a while, I will be fine soon." Xu Ning saw him coming in and pointed to the location behind the classroom. The dust in front was too heavy.

He put his schoolbag on a table, stepped forward and took the broom from Xu Ning, "Go and pack up your things, I'll help you."

When the classmate who was cleaning with Xu Ning saw Xie Zheng, two little girls suddenly became restrained. Xie Zheng looked so beautiful.

Although the junior high school and high school share a playground, the two school departments are just separated by the playground. There is no intersection unless it is an activity in the school.

The whole school knows that Xu Ning and Xie Zheng are inseparable from school. Many girls also know that Xie Zheng is very beautiful, tall and handsome, with excellent academic performance and extraordinary. Even his walking posture makes people think a lot.

But in this era, young people don’t talk about falling in love, and even say a few words in public, they will blush with shame, and they can only be envious of Xu Ning in private.

However, maybe Xie Zheng is not such a vulgar person. People look at their partner but not their appearance.

After cleaning up, the two of them were ready to go home after dressing.

"Why are you here?" Xie Zheng saw Zhou Tao waiting at the school gate, and a surprise flashed in his eyes, thinking he had left.

This time, Zhou Tao did not make jokes with Xie Zheng because Xu Ning was in front of him.

"I just apologize to you. It's because I was in the classroom just now." He thought about it carefully. It was not because of Xu Ning that he was friends with Xie Zheng, but he always pestered him to ask about Xu Ning's affairs during this period. It was because he was too cowardly and what had anything to do with Xie Zheng?

Xu Ning looked at the two of them, wondering why he suddenly had a quarrel with such a good friend.

"I'm not angry." Xie Zheng was telling the truth. He was an adult after all, and he was an adult who had seen many worlds. "I just wanted to tell you that nothing is as important as studying now, so don't be too arrogant."

"...I didn't float?" Zhou Tao was confused. When did he float?

Seeing this, Xie Zheng reflected on his words in his heart, "I mean, if you keep your mind fixed, reading is the most important thing."

"I understand." Zhou Tao lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xu Ning, but finally said nothing.

Both the teacher and parents said that reading is important, and Zhou Tao's ears are calloused. Now Xie Zheng also said so, but he really doesn't have the strength to refute it.

Fortunately, there was no problem with Xie Zheng, so he felt relieved.

In fact, Zhou Tao thought a lot while waiting for someone at the door. Xie Zheng was not wrong. He and Xu Ning were not suitable at all.

Xu Ning is so beautiful that he will definitely marry well in the future. How can he be worthy of his appearance be like him?

The most beautiful girl in their village married a big boss from another place two years ago. Every time she came back, she would drive a car, and she also had all kinds of high-end products, and she took them home like she didn't have money. Although the big boss was short and frustrated, she was full of beans.

I hope Xu Ning won’t marry that kind of person in the future. It’s really ugly. He has no other advantages except money.

Before the New Year, the woman came back with her son in her arms. Zhou Tao's mother went to the other party's house to see it. When she came back, she told his father that the child looked like a monkey and was ugly. At that time, Zhou Tao only listened to it as a joke.

Three people left school with a chat and laugh.

Xie Zheng looked at Zhou Tao on the way, and he seemed to be not disappointed. He seemed to be a boy who could take it and let it go.

The two of them separated from Zhou Tao. When they were at home, Xie Zheng stopped Xu Ning.

"The rain is too heavy these two days, so I'll talk about it when the weather gets better."

"Okay." Xu Ning had no objection, it was really not bad for the past two days.

As soon as he got home, Qin Xuejuan told Xu Ning to change his clothes quickly so that he would not catch a cold, while the old lady cooked in the kitchen alone.

Since Qin Xuejuan became pregnant, the old lady has not let her wife cook. On the one hand, she is worried about her daughter-in-law's body, and on the other hand, it is probably because her daughter-in-law's cooking is not delicious. Even if it is not for anything else, she has to consider the little grandson in her daughter-in-law's belly.

"I'll make some ginger soup. The weather is cloudy and cold. Everyone at home will drink a bowl at night." After cleaning up, I put on the hat at the door and went to the kitchen.

The hats of rural people are very large. Wearing them on your head can cover your whole body, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet into the rain at all.

When I arrived at the kitchen, the old lady had already cooked pig food. When she saw her granddaughter coming in, she gave her a place.

"You want to cook?"

"I will make some ginger soup for my family first. It will rain heavily and get heavy humidity. Drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold air, and then cook." Take a piece of ginger from the basket in the corner, peel and shred it skillfully, "Grandma will also drink a bowl at that time."

But the old lady laughed, "When I was a child, I was watching the rain in the hand-papered veranda of the embroidery building. Every time in this situation, the wet nurse would ask me to make a bowl of ginger soup."

"Grandma misses her childhood, right?" Xu Ning asked curiously.

After pondering for a moment, the old lady shook her head gently: "Who knows?"

I probably don't miss it very much. After all, the one who often appears in her dreams is the dead husband who is not tall but has the courage to rescue her from the fire pit.

If I really want to miss her, she hopes to stay with her husband who is not good-looking but can shelter her from the wind and rain.

Unfortunately, it's a dream.

The heavy rain continued to stop for almost three days, and many students in the school caught a cold. Their class teacher Zhou Yan's throat was also a little hoarse and accompanied by a cough.

Today, Zhang Meng did not come to school, but asked people from the same village to help bring a leave note to Teacher Zhou.

There were more than 50 students in the class, almost seven or eight absent. Lu Xuejiao at the back desk actually took two days of sick leave.

Xiangshan Village belongs to Jiangling County, Songhe Town. There are more than a dozen towns in Jiangling County. Houtang Town, where Xu Ning's aunt is located, is also the boundary of Jiangling County.

The sky after a heavy rain was particularly clear and clear. Although the temperature was a little low, it did not affect travel.

On the bus to Jiangling County, a young man muttered to the girl beside him.

"You said you are not seriously ill, it's great to go to school."

Lu Xuejiao looked up and glared at her second brother, "Didn't you hear me coughing? You go to the county to play, don't try to get rid of me."

"Just say what you want, your sister-in-law and I will buy it for you. If you have to follow us, our parents will spoil you." Brother Lu sighed, and he had no choice but to have nothing to do with him. The whole family is just one sister, and his parents are spoiled.

Last night, I learned that they were going to the county, and I said I had a cold, but I just didn't go to school and wanted to go to the county with them. My parents were indulging me.

There is no sign of a cold here, but it is just pretending no matter how you look at it.

Lu Xuejiao looked righteous, "Why do I, a girl, read so many books?"

Mrs. Lu was smiling beside her, "That's right, we Xue Jiao is so beautiful, we will definitely marry a good family."

Lu Xuejiao disagreed on her face, but she felt very proud.

She also thought so. What's the use of learning well? The key is to marry well. She likes Yang Bo. After all, she is good at studying, good-looking, and good-playing basketball. But in a blink of an eye, Yang Xia's face appeared in her mind, making her face collapse.

Seeing this, Lu Ersan felt a little angry and said nothing he didn't say. Who did the sister-in-law look for?

Since I have been married to my husband for three or four years, I have been offering this sister-in-law everywhere in my in-laws' house. I can't say anything bad about my mother-in-law. Is it a little interesting, and my mother-in-law just complaining when she carries her husband, and she is not saying it to her?

I have never seen such a difficult sister-in-law. She is not old and has a lenient matter. Sometimes she can actually manage her brother's room. Although they are not separated, they all have their own houses, and they are all their own. They are secretly disturbed by this sister-in-law, and the couple will definitely quarrel.

It is not only their second wife, but also their third wife and their family members. Because the three men and their parents-in-law love this sister-in-law, their sister-in-law can only eat coptis chinensis in a mute way.

Some people may say that sisters-in-law can get together to whine, but who dares? People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. If someone takes these words to please her in front of her sister-in-law, they will take care of her after eating.

Mrs. Lu sighed exhausted in her heart, when will this day end?

Xu Ning was still very serious about the class that day, and even took a separate note, thinking that after school, he asked Zhang Meng's classmates from the same village to take her back so that she would not get out of the class.

When he got home from school, Xu Ning found a bicycle that did not belong to them was parked in the yard. It was obvious that someone from home had arrived.

When she walked into the house, she found two strangers, one man and one woman, both in their thirties and forties, and the old lady's face looked very bad.

"Aunt, this is your granddaughter, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, look at this Xiaoman, who looks so beautiful." Before the family could speak, the woman praised her exaggeratedly.

She said it very clearly, but Xu Ning felt particularly embarrassed when she heard it.

However, when she heard her call her grandmother was an aunt, Xu Ning thought of the aunt who had broken off from her family. These two people should be from there, otherwise their Xu family would have no relatives now.

Seeing that the old lady still had this expression, the woman seemed to not care at all, and continued, "If this were not relatives in our families, I would really want to propose to marry this girl for my son."

These words instantly made the old lady's face even more gloomy.

"Hmph, you don't expect it to be relatives, but who cares about you if you are not relatives."

"...Aunt, are you still angry?" The man said at this time, "You don't know my mother yet. She is the kind of person. She is not sincerely making trouble with you. You are a lot of people..."

"My temperament is not good." The old lady interrupted the other party with a stern face, "You should leave quickly while it's dark. Our family has no food for you and no place to sleep. We haven't been in contact for the past few decades, and life should be taken. Now you don't come to my house to join in the fun. We don't care, and I feel uncomfortable when I see you."
