Chapter 8: Best Friends Also Have Golden Fingers



When Meng Si Ning was going home from get off work, he passed by the grain and oil depot and bought five kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, two kilograms of mung beans, and one kilogram of red beans.

Buy less, there will be new food in a while.

When I returned to the compound, smoke was already rising from the chimneys of every household, and my younger brother Lin was already doing his homework.

When he saw her come back, he just said, "The rice is warm in the pot."

Then he ignored her no more. This was all thanks to the original owner. Although she was a child, she was seven or eight years old and knew what was good and what was bad.

It's okay, take your time.

I put the bag down and went to the kitchen to look at the pot. There was porridge, fried shredded potatoes, and a steamed bun.

She was really hungry today. She picked up the porridge and drank a few mouthfuls without caring about her image. Then she took the steel pot away, used another pot to fill a large pot of water, put it on the stove, and waited to add water to the shower bucket on the roof. She took several showers yesterday and left early today, so she forgot to add water to the bucket. She was afraid that there would not be enough water for her shower later.

Their house originally didn't have a shower head.

Her mother was worried that she would not be used to the life here after returning from abroad, so she asked Uncle Lin to get her a shower.

It can only be used in summer. There is a large black plastic barrel on the roof. After being exposed to the sun for a day in summer, the water inside remains warm.

It’s the same kind commonly used in rural areas in the 1990s.

Uncle Lin therefore installed a new water pipe for them so they didn't have to carry water up manually every day.

If you feel that there is no water in the plastic bucket, just turn on the faucet and add water.

However, this winter, the faucet valve must be turned off from the bottom to prevent the water pipes from freezing and cracking.

It can’t be used in winter, but it’s very convenient now.

After finishing all this, Meng Sining walked to Lin Siyun with the bowl of rice and looked at his homework.

Seeing that his handwriting was quite good, he praised: "It's very good. What's your ranking in your class?"

Lin Siyun paused while writing and looked up at her, puzzlement in his eyes. This sister had never asked him about his studies since he moved in, but she still said, "First in the class."

Meng Si Ning was surprised: "So amazing, what about the whole grade?"

"I'm also first in my grade. My teacher told me there's a city-wide math competition in September and they'll let me participate."

"Well done, you got a rank, sister will give you a reward."

Little Lin Siyun's eyes suddenly lit up with anticipation, then dimmed a little as he thought of something, but he still asked, "If I win a place, can I buy a book?"

"Sure, I'll take you to the library and pick out any books you want. I'll buy you a few more."

"real?"

"Of course... ahem, we can save money on other things, but not on studying. If you need anything in your studies, don't ask me. Just buy it yourself. I'll put the money in the drawer."

Lin Siyun was obviously very happy, and even the movement of lowering his head to write was somewhat cheerful.

Meng Si Ning watched him for a while and found that he was indeed very good at mathematics. He could solve calculation problems very quickly with a high accuracy rate, and he could also write application problems very standardly.

Seeing that there was an English dictionary beside him, she raised her eyebrows: "Do you know English?"

Lin Siyun shook his head: "I know some. My parents taught me before, but I can't read many of them very well."

Meng Si Ning didn't expect that Uncle Lin would start teaching him foreign languages ​​at such a young age. He thought for a moment and said, "If you don't understand, you can ask me. You can come find me when you finish your homework. I'm going to take a shower first."

She sweated a lot today and there were many sweat stains on her clothes.

...

The Jiang family at this time

"Look at you, you even cut your hand while cutting vegetables, what can you do?"

"Mom, I accidentally cut a small wound, but I didn't cut my hand. As a teacher, your expression is too inconsistent."

"Stop talking nonsense to me and get out of here."

Jiang Tang also felt aggrieved, wondering when she had ever cooked before.

Fortunately, the original owner knew how to do it. She also relied on memory, and there are always times when their souls are not so compatible.

Look, her proficiency has dropped significantly, and so has her mother. She even has a head injury, but they still insist on assigning her work. Can you blame her?

Jiang Tang pinched her bleeding hand and looked at her elder sister who had just returned and said aggrievedly, "Sister, Mom yelled at me."

Jiang Mo looked at this unruly sister and sighed, "Who made you angry?"

"I didn't. Look, I got hurt while cooking, but she didn't care about me and even yelled at me."

Jiang Mo put away his bicycle and laughed at her, "You deserve it. You can't even cook properly, what else can you do? You despised the job I found you at the garment factory and insisted on joining the art troupe. Now what? You didn't even make it to the art troupe, and you've also missed out on the garment factory job. You're always so overambitious. Who else should I blame if not you?"

When talking about working in the garment factory, Jiang Tang quickly came to her sister and said, "Sister, my dear sister, I don't mind working in the garment factory. Can you help me ask for help?"

"Jobs are so scarce, who do you think you are that a job can wait for you?"

"Maybe?"

Jiang Mo didn't answer, but glared at her unhappily. But Jiang Tang knew that her sister would definitely ask for her, so she looked at her sister with a smile. Her sister was the best.

Jiang Mo raised his hand and turned her face to the side: "Don't smile like a dog. Come on, I'll bandage you."

"It's just a minor injury. It's a waste of your talent to trouble you. I can do it myself. You can rest."

Jiang Tang happily returned to her room on the second floor.

Many of the buildings in the northern area of ​​this compound are two-story buildings of this type, while in the southern area there are bungalows, small courtyards and family buildings.

Most of the people living in the North District are senior leaders of the Military District.

Their house has a kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining room and a bedroom downstairs.

The three rooms above are just right for living.

Jiang Tang first went to the bathroom on the second floor and rinsed his bleeding finger with clean water. While he was washing, his eyes suddenly flashed and the scene changed in an instant.

The surroundings are white and foggy, and there is a large, gray screen in front. This is...ah.

"ah..."

Meng Si Ning had just finished taking a shower and was thinking of going into the space to see if there was any movement.

But as soon as I came in, I saw... "Ginger Candy?"

"Meng Si Ning?" Jiang Tang was a little confused at the moment. She didn't know what was going on. How did she meet the person across the street?

Meng Si Ning seemed to have guessed something, opened his eyes wide, and asked hurriedly: "What is the girl thinking?"

Jiang Tang said excitedly: "Ba Wang Cha Ji." After that, Jiang Tang excitedly went forward and hugged her: "Si Ning, are you dead too?"

Meng Si Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly. Is this how you greet someone? But he still replied, "He must be dead."

"Yeah, you were driving in front, so you must have been hit harder than me, woo woo..." Jiang Tang hugged her and cried for a while. After calming down, he looked up at the situation around him, turned around and said, "What's going on?"

Before Meng Si Ning could explain, a waiter's voice rang out: "Welcome to the Wanwu Duoduo shopping system. I am Duo Xiaoer."
