She was very hungry in the supermarket that morning, so she didn't think much about it and just grabbed two big chicken legs and took them away.
At that time, there were rows of fried chickens, rows of roast chickens, and dozens of chicken legs in the incubator. It was dazzled and confusing at the same time, and I was careless and made such a fuss!
Chen Xingling said "Uh?" and smiled awkwardly, "I went back to my hometown this weekend, and my mother specially killed two pheasants to make roast chicken for me. The weather has been a bit warm these past two days, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep them, so I brought a little more to eat."
"Wow! Two roast chickens!"
"Your mother loves you too much, doesn't she? She killed two chickens in one go! Even my family doesn't celebrate the New Year in such an extravagant way!"
Chen Xingling made a shushing gesture and whispered, "My home is in Huiqiao Fishing Village in the countryside. There are hills behind my home, and there are a lot of pheasants on the mountain. This is what my brother caught from the mountain."
"You're like this! Your mother must love you very much, right?" Jia Shuanghua looked at the big chicken leg and swallowed her saliva: "My mother only allowed me to bring a small egg... There was no meat at all."
Chen Xingling laughed and explained: "My parents have five sons. I am the youngest and the only girl in the family."
"Wow! No wonder he loves you so much! You are a unique one!"
"That's right! If my parents only had me as their daughter, they would definitely love me the most!"
"My mother is very thrifty with things. She wouldn't even kill a chicken during Chinese New Year, let alone make two roast chickens for me."
The students were all laughing and joking, with envy in their eyes.
Chen Xingling glanced at Ma Dali, who was so thin that his bones were almost visible, and quickly came up with an idea.
So, she grabbed the chicken leg and said, "It's been very warm these past two days, and I have a roast chicken waiting for us to eat. If we don't eat it, it might go bad tomorrow. If you don't mind, please help me eat less."
Then she tore off a large piece of chicken leg meat and gave it to Jia Shuanghua.
Jia Shuanghua's eyes sparkled, and she nodded hurriedly: "No problem! I'm happy to do it!"
Seeing this, the other girls nearby came over with their lunch boxes.
"I want one too! It smells so good!"
"It smells so good! I haven't eaten chicken in half a year!"
Chen Xingling took all the big chicken legs. When he tore them off, the chicken meat was in pieces. Some were more than one finger wide, and some were even two fingers wide. He was so generous that several women laughed happily.
Seven or eight male classmates chuckled and turned their heads to look around.
Although everyone is in the same class, female students usually only get along with female classmates, and the boundaries between male and female students are clear.
Hearing Chen Xingling distributing chicken legs, everyone suddenly felt that the rice and dry food in their hands were no longer delicious, and their eyes turned eagerly towards the female classmates.
Ma Dali, who was sitting by the window and chewing corn awkwardly, also took a few secret glances.
After Chen Xingling tore one, he handed the rest to Jia Shuanghua, then quickly picked up another one and pushed it towards the male students.
"Everyone should share some, don't waste it. I still have one at home, so I'll have some to eat when I get back. Don't be polite, just think of it as helping me eat it."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Then... you're welcome!"
Everyone is happy to help with "favors" like this, and there's no problem with helping more.
Chen Xingling quickly tore off a few pieces of meat and gave them to several male classmates. There was still a lot of meat left on the bones, and he handed them all to Ma Dali.
Ma Dali was flattered and took it, swallowing his saliva, "...Thank you, classmate Chen."
He smiled, his brows relaxed a little, and he bowed to her politely.
Chen Xingling walked back happily, explaining, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. My hometown has the sea in front and the mountain behind, so as long as you work hard, there is basically no shortage of food. I pray that when I go back this weekend, my dad or my brothers can catch some pheasants again. If there are any left this time, I will bring a whole chicken next Monday to share with everyone!"
The students cheered: "Good!"
"Then we'll wait!"
"Student Chen, we will definitely pray for you! Hahaha!"
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was much better than before.
Chen Xingling stole a glance at Ma Dali and found that he had buried his head and was eating voraciously, even chewing the chicken bones. He sighed inwardly.
Classes in the morning and afternoon last at least six hours, and after school he has to work. A grown man survives on a piece of corn and cold water, and it's not easy to be hungry, but he has to endure the whole day.
She secretly made up her mind. Perhaps, this was a possible breakthrough.
Jia Shuanghua licked the chicken leg bone and threw it aside reluctantly.
"Lingling, your mother's cooking skills are really good. The roast chicken she makes is really amazing!"
Chen Xingling chuckled and started eating.
The hot rice paired with slightly spicy vegetables and cold seaweed is very refreshing. I eat it quickly when I’m hungry and the box of rice is soon empty.
After eating, the two took their lunch boxes and chopsticks to the faucet to wash them.
Suddenly, Jia Shuanghua winked at her.
Chen Xingling was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look in the direction she was looking. He found a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old was walking behind them.
The girl had the most fashionable double braids, and unlike other girls, she didn't tie them with a simple red string, but with two lovely pink silk flowers. Her clothes were the most fashionable style at the moment, and she also carried a military-colored cloth bag on her shoulder.
The girl's facial features are very beautiful, with big eyes and a small cherry mouth, and her face is full of youthfulness.
Everyone loves beauty, and Chen Xingling is no exception.
It was a rare opportunity to see a beautiful girl, and she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Jia Shuanghua lowered her voice and said, "Don't look at her. She is the principal's daughter."
Chen Xingling said "Oh" and asked, "What grade is she in? I don't think I've seen her before!"
"She graduated from high school last year and found a job." Jia Shuanghua whispered, "I heard that her grades in school were very good, especially in science. By the way, she - she works in a shipyard, I think she's an accountant."
Chen Xingling smiled: "What a coincidence!"
Jia Shuanghua said, "You have just arrived here, so you may not have had the opportunity to meet her. She is eighteen years old this year and is the principal's only daughter. She is not only the principal's favorite, but also the most famous figure in Chongwen Middle School in the past few years."
"A celebrity?" Chen Xingling asked with a smile, "She's pretty, has good grades, is talented, has good looks, and has a good background?"
Jia Shuanghua nodded: "Yes! Many people outside are saying that she will marry the director of your shipyard as his daughter-in-law. It is very difficult to find another girl as beautiful as her in the urban area of Yucheng, with such good academic performance and a top-notch family background. There are so many boys who are secretly in love with her, countless!"
"Oh~~" Chen Xingling put away his gossiping mind, packed up the aluminum lunch box, and placed it on the window to dry.
There is no detergent to clean the oil stains, and I always feel that they are not clean enough.
Some classmates brought some rice bran to wash, and some even took some plant ash to smear before washing, which looked a bit dirty. There were rows of dishwashing liquids waiting to be pampered in her space, so she planned to wash it again after returning home.
Most women love to gossip, but Jia Shuanghua still can't get enough.
"I heard that she is very popular in the shipyard, and a lot of male workers like her. Your husband also works there, he should know her. She is very famous!"
"Maybe." Chen Xingling couldn't help asking, "What's her name? My husband is the kind of person who is so focused on work that he doesn't pay attention to the outside world. He probably wouldn't recognize her."
Jia Shuanghua replied: "Her name is Li Nishang. The name is as beautiful as she is, very nice to hear!"
