The New Neighbor Text Chapter 019

You also need to pay attention to skills when it comes to holding the red line, especially when the man is clumsy.

Two days later, when Xu Qiao had almost forgotten Jiang Rui, Aunt Liu knocked on the door.

Xu Qiao had just gotten off work and was standing in the kitchen thinking about what to eat for dinner.

Opening the door, Aunt Liu held her two-year-old granddaughter in one hand and a small basket in the other. She asked with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, are there any fresh vegetables to eat now?

Should we still follow the old rules?" Every year, my family sells vegetables to the neighbors in the same building to make some extra money. The price is 20% off according to the supermarket prices.

Xu Qiao was very familiar with Aunt Liu, so she directly invited people in and took them to the planting pot: "You can eat onions, leeks, and spinach. Which

one do you want, Aunt Liu?" Aunt Liu said, "Let's have some of them all, that's all. We have a large family for tonight’s meal, so it’s okay to try something fresh once in a while, but we can’t afford to eat it all.”

Xu Qiao cut some vegetables separately, and there was a small weighing scale next to it, and the total was just over a pound. , based on the whole pound, 20% off is 160 points.

Aunt Liu pointed to the two reddest strawberries in the planting pot and said, "I want these two, too, to satisfy Ling Ding's craving."

Strawberries in the supermarket are sold by the piece, with fifty points each.

Neighborhood businesses are most afraid of giving away favors indiscriminately. Otherwise, if you give one for free today, your neighbors may continue to expect free favors next time.

Fortunately, Grandpa Xu had already set the tone for the fruit and vegetable trade. Xu Qiao did not pretend to be polite, and Aunt Liu did not bully the young, and happily transferred 240 points to Xu Qiao.

Strawberries without medicine can be eaten without washing. Aunt Liu stuffed one into her arms for her granddaughter. When she walked to the entrance, Aunt Liu seemed to suddenly remember and blinked at Xu Qiao: "Last time I came to my house to deliver something. "Jiang Rui, do you still remember that guy?"

Xu Qiao: "The one from the escort?"

Aunt Liu: "Yes, I think he probably likes you. He has been asking me about you these past two days. , I usually don’t want to say a word, but suddenly she treats me as my aunt, and calls me very dear.”

Xu Qiao: “…”

Aunt Liu: “Well, let me tell you about his family situation first. If you're interested, I'll introduce you to him. If you're not interested, I'll make it clear to him directly to save him the heat."

Xu Qiao first expressed his opinion: "Auntie, no matter what his family situation is, I have no plans to fall in love or get married now. ..."

Aunt Liu: "I understand. How old are you? You must not be in a hurry. I just think that he has very good conditions in all aspects. You should listen first and treat it as a friend. By the way, he is in the Guards. Sometimes we also take turns to patrol, maybe we will meet each other when we go out for a mission."

Xu Qiao looked at the vegetables in Aunt Liu's basket and said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll listen."

She understood . Yes, Aunt Liu's shopping for groceries is fake, but her matchmaking is real.

Aunt Liu’s enthusiastic introduction can be briefly summarized in two paragraphs.

Jiang Rui’s family. Jiang Rui's father and eldest brother are both in the army. His father is already a captain, and his eldest brother, who is in his thirties, is a lieutenant. Jiang Rui's mother and sister-in-law also work in the government sector, and they are decent and stable.

Jiang Rui himself. Jiang Rui is twenty-five years old this year. His spiritual body is that of a war bull like his father and brother. He has dual C powers of wind and earth. He is now also a second lieutenant.

According to Aunt Liu's evaluation, the father and son are as determined and steady as their spiritual bodies.

Xu Qiao complimented: "They are all very powerful, but I really have no plans in this regard. You'd better tell him clearly so as not to delay others."

Aunt Liu left regretfully.

Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief as he closed the door.

A lotus petal flew out and touched her face gently.

Xu Qiao smiled bitterly.

In the new era, the population has dropped sharply. All major bases encourage early marriage and early childbearing. Even the age of college graduation has been advanced to 18 years old.

It is true that many young people get married early for various reasons. Xu Qiao didn't pay much attention to this problem before. When he meets someone he likes, he is compatible in all aspects. It doesn't matter if he gets married early. If he doesn't meet him, he will take his time, or even stay single for the rest of his life. Okay, it's better than marrying someone you don't like just for the sake of getting married.

But now, Xu Qiao has another secret, the secret of upgrading his spiritual body.

There is official data on her spiritual body. The lotus with eleven petals is clearly displayed on the electronic mercenary ID along with her photo. If she is in love, she cannot always hide her spiritual body in front of her partner. Once exposed, if his partner is not reliable...

Xu Qiao doesn't want to take risks and would rather keep the secret alone.

As for dinner...

just pan-fried steak.

Speaking of which, the official classification of spiritual bodies is too general. Speaking of cows alone, in the old era, they could be divided into many types according to their place of origin, appearance, and use, such as yak, buffalo, ox, and bison. But in the new era, no matter what kind of cow appearance the spiritual body takes, the official only divides it into different types according to the origin, appearance, and use. Naming of attributes: Those suitable for fighting are called war cattle, and those suitable for breeding are called ordinary cattle.

Of course, it cannot be entirely blamed on the officials for being perfunctory. Some of the same-looking ox mental bodies are suitable for fighting, and some are suitable for breeding. In order to facilitate the distinction, the official can only abandon the old naming.

Including the spiritual body of plants, no matter how many varieties of peonies can bloom, they are all named "peonies". No matter how many petals a lotus blooms, they are all "lotus".

This is the official name. People with superpowers have more feelings for their spiritual bodies and are willing to subdivide them by themselves compared to the varieties from the old era.

Xu Qiao's great-grandfather was obsessed with cultivating lotus, and kept many books and pictures about lotus in the study room at home. Xu Qiao knew that the subdivision name of her spiritual body was probably double lotus.

102, Qin Chi suppressed the fire dragon and went to the entrance. He had the urge to stick to the door and eavesdrop on the conversation between Xu Qiao and Aunt Liu. But not long after, when he was washing vegetables in the kitchen, the sound of Aunt Liu talking to someone on the phone came from the 202 kitchen upstairs.

This time, Qin Chi could only hear Aunt Liu's one-sided chat.

"I just went to her place to buy groceries, and I took the opportunity to mention that Jiang Rui was asking about her. Hey, it's exactly what I thought. As soon as I started, she said she wasn't interested."

"I've told you, I've even told you about Jiang Rui's sister-in-law's job. I think she just hasn't figured it out yet. It has nothing to do with whether Jiang Rui is good or not. Otherwise, Jiang Rui is tall and handsome, and your family still has such good conditions. How can you Girls can't be tempted."

"Well, it depends on Jiang Rui. If I interfere again, it may be counterproductive. Young people nowadays don't like their elders to push for marriage."

Aunt Liu was quiet, and the fire dragon jumped out and faced Qin. Chi Jiehuo: [She doesn’t like him. ]

Qin Chi analyzed in a low voice while washing vegetables: "She doesn't like to be matched up, but it doesn't mean that Jiang Rui has no hope."

Fire Dragon: [Go and rob him! ]

Qin Chi smiled and shook his head.

Human feelings are much more complicated than those of the spiritual body, and he currently has no plans to find anyone to fall in love with.

Tuesday, May 14th.

Xu Qiao is still on duty in Clinic 206 of the clinic.

Patients register downstairs, and most patients will let the system randomly assign doctors. There are also a small number of well-known patients who specifically register for a certain doctor.

Xu Qiao was too young and not that famous yet. When the screen showed that there was a patient who called her number, Xu Qiao looked at the other person's information unexpectedly.

Patient: Jiang Rui.

Xu Qiao: "..." Everyone is here, and Dr. Xu, who is vacant, can only call the number according to the regulations.

About a minute or so, steady footsteps sounded in the corridor. They slowed down significantly as they approached 206. Finally, they made up their minds, took two steps forward, and knocked on the door.

Xu Qiao had already looked at the ajar door: "Please come in."

His big, yellow-skinned hands pushed open the door, revealing a resolute face he had seen before. However, the visitor seemed not to have expected that Xu Qiao was waiting for him and was the first to do so. After looking back at the time, his bright black eyes quickly moved down, and an obvious red color appeared on his face.

Xu Qiao: "..."

Just as she was about to look away, she saw a bead of sweat rolling down the other person's angular face.

She was really stunned. Was it because she was nervous or because her injuries were too painful?

She lowered her eyes and looked at the other person's calf, which was covered by black uniform pants. The registration information showed that he had calf trauma.

Sensing her departure, Jiang Rui forced himself to calm down and said, "Hello, I'm here to see you."

Xu Qiao nodded, pointed to the chair on one side and said, "Sit down, roll up your trouser legs, I'll take a look at you first . "

Jiang Rui came over, sat down, rolled up his left trouser leg, and then sat upright with his waist straight and his hands clenched on top of his knees. It wasn't until Xu Qiao lowered his head to check his wound that Jiang Rui quickly looked at her. He could only see the side of her face and the back of her neck clearly.

After Xu Qiao finished the inspection, he frowned and said, "Bite from a strange animal?"

Jiang Rui said, "Yes, it was bitten while on a mission yesterday. I was in a hurry to leave, so I asked a military doctor to heal the bones and then returned to the team. I thought I could recover after going home and resting for one night. Okay, I didn’t expect..."

Xu Qiao: "Is this a work-related injury? Can the military doctor treat it for free?"

Jiang Rui: "I have a rest today and I don’t want to rush to the Fifth Ring Road again."

The four major bases have similar plans and layouts, and the military and political officials have similar plans. Rich families and high-level superpowers live in the central area, low-level superpowers live in the second ring, ordinary people live in the third ring, the fourth ring is a planting, breeding, and military manufacturing area, and the fifth ring is stationed with millions of guards.

In addition to garrisoning troops, the Fifth Ring Road also serves as the isolation zone between the base wall and residential areas. It is the largest area and it is indeed time-consuming to drive there.

Now that Jiang Rui said so, Xu Qiao couldn't persuade her any more and asked: "Prescribe medicine to keep it going, or..."

Jiang Rui: "If it's convenient, I want to cure it now."

This kind of flesh trauma doesn't even require an operating room. go. After a bill was opened and Jiang Rui paid the points, Xu Qiao helped Jiang Rui clean his wound first, pressed his fingers on the side of his wound, and cured him in just three minutes. Except for the new growth, which was whiter, nothing could be seen. There have been injuries here.

Jiang Rui put down his trousers, stood up straight and looked at the therapist sitting on the chair, with a serious look on his face: "Thank you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door. With his pace, he could get out completely in four steps.

Xu Qiao: "Wait a moment."

Jiang Rui paused and turned around.

Xu Qiao: "Did you call me specifically because Aunt Liu takes care of my business, or is there some other reason?"

Jiang Rui was silent for a second, then looked at her and said, "I want to see you, and I can only do this through this." "

Xu Qiao: "...I'm honored, but I'm not interested in falling in love. If you pay unnecessary points to see me, I will be very stressed."

Jiang Rui: "Sorry, next time . No."

Xu Qiao smiled: "Thank you."

Jiang Rui: "Then I can take you home once a week? When you are interested in falling in love, you can consider me first."

Xu Qiao: "..."
