When Jiang Ning turned around, she saw a girl in a flowered dress standing lazily behind the counter, looking at her impatiently.

The girl looked at about eighteen or nineteen years old, she looked good, and she looked down on anyone from above.

After taking a look at the girl, Jiang Ning subconsciously looked down at her clothes.

Bag-like clothes and trousers, a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, and short black hair that reaches his ears show his old age.

She's only in her 20s, but she looks like she's in her 40s. No wonder girls see themselves that way.

But she didn't want to dress up like this either. Jiang Ning could only wear these clothes with such a figure.

Withdrawing her hand, Jiang Ning retorted with a sneer, "I'm not here to buy."

The little girl turned her nostrils to the sky, snorted and glanced at her, and continued angrily, "If you don't buy it, what are you doing here? Get out quickly, and don't hinder my business."

"I saw the activity at your door, and I thought..."

"Your accent is from the countryside, right? Are you literate? Just like you, you still want to participate in our activities?

Have you ever seen a washing machine?Do you know how to use it? "

The girl couldn't wait for Jiang Ning to finish her sentence, so she couldn't wait to ask her back.

yo!

This is because they feel that since they are from the city, they look down on the working people in the countryside.

Jiang Ning glanced at the little girl coldly, then raised her finger to the promotional sign at the entrance of their store.

"Not only do I know the words on it, I'm here for your prizes."

The signboard says that in order to give back to new and old customers, our store has specially launched a limited-time activity to win big prizes for free by guessing the questions. Everyone can enter the store to guess the questions for free, and if they guess correctly, they will get a washing machine provided in the store.

The little girl looked at her again with a sneer, and went straight to her, "Just like you, you still want to get the prizes from our store? Go away! Don't waste my time."

After finishing speaking, the little girl snorted coldly with contempt on her face.

Jiang Ning has been despised countless times when she came here, and she has long been used to these people who look down on others.

She didn't want to continue wasting words with this little girl, what she was interested in was the activities in the store - free washing machines for guessing questions.

She took a look at the little girl, and learned from the work card hanging around the girl's neck that the little girl's name was Zhao Xi.

The name is a good name, but people are not pleasing at all.

"What about the rules of the event? Show me."

"Don't you understand what I just said? Go away, don't waste my time. "

The disgust on Zhao Xi's face was very obvious, he just didn't want to receive her.

Jiang Ning's eyes gradually turned cold, and she said with a blank expression: "It doesn't matter whether I can answer the question or not, I'm entering the store now to participate in your activities, so you have to tell me the rules, otherwise you're just trying to sell dog meat, don't Blame me for finding the industry and commerce department to expose you."

"you……"

After all, she is a little girl, seeing what Jiang Ning said is reasonable and well-founded, she is so guilty that she can't find anything to say back, so she can only go desperately to get Jiang Ning the rules of guessing questions.

The little girl brought the guessing rules slowly and handed them to her angrily.

"Here, take it and see for yourself!"

After Jiang Ning accepted the rules, she just took a look and smiled.

Guessing rules: There are three rounds of guessing. In each round, five questions are randomly selected from the cardboard box to answer. If you answer five questions in a row, you will automatically enter the next round. In the second round, you will enter ten questions. If you answer ten questions in a row, you will enter the third round.

Seeing that the method of answering the third round of questions had not been announced, Jiang Ning looked up at Zhao Xi, "What's the answer for the third round?"

"Did you answer the first two rounds correctly? Let's start the third round."

Jiang Ning understood that this was probably a bug in the store's event design. She deliberately used this free event to attract customers to answer questions, but deliberately did not disclose the third round of answering methods.

She guessed that most people should have stopped at the second round. If someone passed the second round, the difficulty of the third round would increase a lot depending on the situation.

It's all here, of course she has to try her luck answering the questions.

Glancing at the bitter and mean Zhao Xi, Jiang Ning turned her head and looked outside the store, "I want to answer the question, but I don't believe you, I want you to find a few more people to be witnesses, lest I answer the question correctly, then you will be shameless .”

"Look for it, if you can't answer any of the questions, it will look good." Zhao Xi answered with a face full of disdain.

In Zhao Xi's opinion, Jiang Ning, a countryman with a fat head and big ears, probably doesn't know a few big characters, so she answered the questions with the mentality of trying her luck.

If you can answer a question correctly, the ancestral grave will be smoked.

In order to make Jiang Ning look ugly and be ridiculed by more people, Zhao Xi deliberately invited many people to watch Jiang Ning answer the questions.

Pointing to the people standing outside the store, Zhao Xi sneered and said, "Everyone has been found, can you answer the questions now?"

"can."

Zhao Xi immediately turned around and left, and came back again holding a cardboard box with the first round written on it.

According to the previous requirements, Jiang Ning had to answer five questions correctly in the first round to successfully enter the next round.

Zhao Xi moved the cardboard box in front of Jiang Ning, and said impatiently: "In the first round, draw five times, and answer five questions."

Jiang Ning glanced at her, then reached into the cardboard box to draw questions.

She won a riddle - Chang'e descends to earth (play a flower name).

Seeing Jiang Ning staring at the selected questions, the onlookers asked curiously, "What question did you get? Show us quickly."

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Jiang Ning generously showed the topic to everyone.

Everyone glanced at it, and they all frowned and began to think about this question.

"What kind of question is this? I can't figure it out at all."

"That's right, this question is too difficult."

"Girl, can you guess it?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Ning at the same time.

Jiang Ning smiled at everyone, and just as she was about to answer, she heard Zhao Xi sneer, "You can't even read the above words, can you? If you really can't answer it, let it be, anyway, for you, a countryman That being said, illiteracy is not a shameful thing.”

Some of the onlookers were from the countryside, and when they saw Zhao Xi talking like this, they couldn't help but get angry.

"Little girl, why do you speak so badly? You are a countryman when you open your mouth and shut your mouth. Are your ancestors not countrymen?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xi completely ignored these people, continued to look at Jiang Ning, and urged, "Can you answer the question? If you can't answer it, hurry up..."

"I know the answer." Jiang Ning interrupted Zhao Xi with a smile, "It's rose!"

Zhao Xi didn't know what the answer was, after listening to Jiang Ning's words, he took out the answer he had prepared in advance, and when he saw the answer clearly, Zhao Xi's expression turned ugly.

The onlookers asked: "Girl, why is it a rose?"

"Because Chang'e went down to earth, there is only a lonely moon left in the sky, so it is the rose." Jiang Ning explained.

"Wonderful!"

"Girl, your answer is wonderful."

"you are so brilliant."

Seeing that everyone praised Jiang Ning again and again, Zhao Xi snorted coldly with disdain: "I just answered one question correctly, what's so special, come again."

Jiang Ning started to take the second question again. Winter melon, pumpkin, cucumber, and watermelon can be eaten. What kind of melon can't be eaten?
After Jiang Ning read it, she showed a slight smile, and showed the question to everyone.

Everyone watched and shook their heads one after another.

"What kind of questions are these? Why is one more difficult than the other?"

"Is it because you don't want the girl to win on purpose?"

"..."

Ignoring everyone's comments, Zhao Xi urged: "Quickly answer!"

Jiang Ning: "Fool!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up, with praises pouring out of their mouths.

Zhao Xi frowned, and said unconvinced: "You're lucky, come again."

Jiang Ning continued to draw three more questions, all of which were answered correctly.

At this time, the scene suddenly burst into warm cheers and applause, and the onlookers were in high spirits. They were all shocked by Jiang Ning's wonderful answers, and kept praising Jiang Ning for being smart and powerful.

These questions may be a bit difficult for people here.

But she was tired of answering the questions during the team building of the modern company, and she could memorize them, so she could answer them easily.

She smiled modestly at everyone, "Everyone, stop praising me, it would be a shame if I can't answer the questions in the second round."

"It's not shameful, it's already very good to be able to answer so many questions at once."

"Yes."

Jiang Ning nodded gratefully, then looked at Zhao Xi again, "Let's start the second round!"

Zhao Xi moved another cardboard box and placed it in front of Jiang Ning.

In the second round, you need to answer ten questions in a row in order to successfully enter the third round.

Jiang Ning didn't dawdle, and directly pulled out a question from the third cardboard box—holding an egg and throwing a stone, why didn't the egg break?

After reading this question, everyone stopped talking.

In order not to affect Jiang Ning's thinking, someone started talking in a low voice.

"Whether you throw a stone at an egg or throw an egg with a stone, the egg will break, why not?"

"That's right, there is a problem with this question."

Everyone looked at Jiang Ning at the same time, sweating for Jiang Ning.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was silent and kept staring at the question, Zhao Xi showed joy, and complacently urged, "Why didn't you speak? Could it be that you can't answer?"

Jiang Ning looked up at Zhao Xi, and replied with a smile, "I'm holding an egg in my hand, and what I threw out was a stone, how could the egg break?"

Hearing this, everyone pondered for a long time before they understood the meaning of her words, they all admired Jiang Ning.

But everyone didn't dare to disturb Jiang Ning, so they could only cheer for Jiang Ning silently in their hearts.

Unconvinced, Zhao Xi continued to urge Jiang Ning to answer the questions.

Jiang Ning continued to draw questions, and took all the remaining nine questions in one go, and answered all of them correctly.

At this time, deafening cheers and applause erupted at the scene, attracting everyone on the floor of the mall, and everyone gathered to discuss Jiang Ning's answer to the question.

After the discussion, everyone looked at Jiang Ning full of admiration and appreciation.

Zhao Xi was too shocked to speak.

This event in the store was originally used by the boss to attract customers into the store. Since the event was launched, few people have been able to answer three questions correctly. Jiang Ning actually answered fifteen questions correctly in one go, and will soon enter the third round up.

She didn't expect this fat man to have these abilities at all.

Jiang Ning's goal was to win the washing machine, and this time it was her turn to urge Zhao Xi, "Can I enter the third round?"

Zhao Xi looked at her with the eyes of a monster, and still couldn't believe that she really answered so many questions correctly.

In this era when the average person could not read a few words, Jiang Ning was not only literate, but also answered so many tricky questions correctly in one breath, which was indeed a remarkable thing in everyone's eyes.

Zhao Xi came back to his senses and stared at the two cardboard boxes in front of Jiang Ning, "The third round is the wheel battle. You have to answer all the questions in these two cardboard boxes to be considered a winner."

Hearing this, the noisy scene instantly quieted down.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two cardboard boxes.

With such a big cardboard box, there are many questions in one box. I am afraid that the questions in the two cardboard boxes will not be answered in a day, right?

Isn't this embarrassing?
Everyone looked at the cardboard box, then looked at Jiang Ning, and began to persuade Jiang Ning to forget it!
Jiang Ning smiled with her lips curled up, and said firmly, "I'll answer!"

Zhao Xi: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ignoring everyone's stupefaction, Jiang Ning turned her head to look at the onlookers, "Please help me take out all the questions from the cardboard box, and place them neatly on the table one by one, and I will write down the answers one by one."

"it is good."

Everyone wanted to witness the miraculous moment when Jiang Ning answered all the questions correctly, and they all joined in to help take out the questions and place them neatly on the table.

While everyone was posing, Jiang Ning took a pen from Zhao Xina and began to answer the questions.

Jiang Ning's speed was very fast, and she wrote the answer almost at a glance, and even wrote the notes clearly.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it.

After about two hours, Jiang Ning finally finished answering all the questions, closed the pen cap, and looked at her results with satisfaction.

"The answer is over, let's accept it!"

Zhao Xi looked at the hundreds of questions placed on the table, and his heart was trembling.

Jiang Ning has finished answering, but with so many questions, when will she see them all?
Seeing that Zhao Xi was hesitating and didn't know where to start, the onlookers began to rush.

"You should hurry up and see, we are still waiting for the girl to redeem the prize."

"Yeah, hurry up, don't waste time."

Zhao Xi, a young girl, had never seen such a battle before. She hurriedly asked other employees in the store to find the boss.

More than ten minutes later, the boss came.

The boss is wearing a flowered shirt, holding a black leather bag, walking like a wind.

Seeing him from a distance, Jiang Ning felt a little familiar.

When the boss came to her, Jiang Ning finally recognized that this was the man who made a big fuss in the hospital when Shen Ning was hospitalized last time.

At that time, the man was not forgiving, but after seeing Shen Heping, he suddenly reversed his attitude and left the hospital.

Zhao Xi pointed to the situation at the scene and told the man everything.

After hearing this, the man frowned, strode into the store, glanced at all the answered questions on the table, and then turned to look at Zhao Xi.

"Who answered these?"

"Brother Sun, it's her." Zhao Xi pointed at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning waved to Sun Qiang, "It's me."

Seeing Jiang Ning, Sun Qiang immediately opened his eyes, and immediately put on a smiling face and stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, it's you! Why didn't you come to our store and say hello in advance, so that I can receive you in person."

sister in law?

Zhao Xi looked at Jiang Ning and Sun Qiang in confusion.

The onlookers were also dumbfounded, thinking that Jiang Ning was not an ordinary person.

"Are you the owner of this store?" Jiang Ning asked.

Sun Qiang nodded.

"I participated in the quiz activity in your store and finished answering all the questions. Hurry up and show me if I got the answers right, and if you can take away the prize."

"You don't have to look, sister-in-law can just move out whatever she wants."

Facing Sun Qiang's courteous attitude, Jiang Ning couldn't help frowning and looked at him a few more times.

A washing machine in this era costs thousands of dollars, even if you are wealthy, you can’t give it away for free, right?

What is Shen Heping's background that deserves your fawning?
Curiosity is curiosity, she didn't ask in front of so many people, but continued to stare at the answered questions on the table and said: "I'm here to win prizes, I don't want to rely on relationships or anything, you should read my answers quickly Question!"

"Okay, I'll get someone to look at it right away."

Just as Sun Qiang was going to call all the staff in the store, Jiang Ning stopped him.

"I don't need anyone else, I just want her to see it."

Jiang Ning pointed at Zhao Xi.

Sun Qiang looked at Zhao Xi, then looked at the hundreds of questions on the table, "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to read it alone, is my sister-in-law free?"

"I'm free, take your time."

"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Xi must have offended Jiang Ning, Sun Qiang said to Zhao Xi angrily, "Let you watch, just watch! Be quick with your hands and feet, don't waste sister-in-law's time."

Zhao Xi wanted to cry, but looked at Sun Qiang pitifully.

Sun Qiang ignored her at all, and urged impatiently: "Hurry up, how long are you going to grind on?"

Zhao Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and come up with the answer.

Being stared at by the boss and so many people, Zhao Xi trembled and checked carefully, fearing that something might go wrong.

Zhao Xi checked slowly for a full four hours, and it seemed that it was past lunch time.

After checking carefully, she straightened her numb waist and returned to Sun Qiang and Jiang Ning.

"Brother Sun, I checked everything, and the answers are all correct, and none of them are wrong."

Sun Qiang looked at Jiang Ning with a flattering face, gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of my sister-in-law, she is a person who does great things like Brother Heping. Of course, this kind of simple puzzle will not trouble my sister-in-law."

Seeing Sun Qiang's face beaming when he mentioned Shen Heping, Jiang Ning became even more curious about what Shen Heping did in the provincial capital.

She planned to ask when there were no outsiders.

"Then my prize..."

Sun Qiang pointed to the store, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law just tell me what she likes, and I'll send you a car to deliver it to your home."

"No, I just need the designated washing machine for this event."

"it is good."

When the onlookers saw that Jiang Ning had successfully won the prize, they all cast envious glances at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning thanked everyone for their help just now, and after politely thanking them, the onlookers dispersed.

Sun Qiang took Jiang Ning to look at the prize washing machine. It was an ordinary old-fashioned vertical drum washing machine, and it was still semi-automatic and required manual water changes.

Semi-automatic is semi-automatic!As long as you can free your hands.

Sun Qiang personally helped Jiang Ning complete the procedures for receiving the prize, asked Jiang Ning's address, and immediately arranged for a car to deliver the washing machine to Jiang Ning's home.

After arranging these, Sun Qiang looked at the time, then looked at Jiang Ning, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, let me treat you to a meal!"

"it is good."

She happened to be able to inquire about Shen Heping from Sun Qiang during the meal.

...

Sun Qiang found a small restaurant near the shopping mall, ordered a few meat dishes and rice, and then asked Jiang Ning with a smile.

"Does sister-in-law need anything else?"

"no need."

After ordering, Sun Qiang sat opposite Jiang Ning.

At this time, the quiet and honest Sun Qiang was completely different from the Sun Qiang who had made a big fuss in the hospital last time.

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Sun Qiang spoke first, "I was at fault for what happened in the hospital last time. I have always wanted to find a chance to invite my sister-in-law and Brother Heping to dinner to make amends. Today I found an opportunity."

Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't Brother Heping come with you?" Sun Qiang asked curiously.

"He has something to do at home and he can't get away from him, so I came alone."

Sun Qiang understood, and did not continue to ask.

The dishes were served soon, and Sun Qiang warmly greeted Jiang Ning to eat.

Jiang Ning always remembers to lose weight, and puts down her chopsticks after just a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Sun Qiang asked doubtfully, "Why don't you eat?"

"I have a small appetite."

"Oh."

Sun Qiang didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Boss Sun, I'm curious about one thing. What does Heping do in the provincial capital? Why are you being so polite to him?" Jiang Ning asked out her inner confusion.

Sun Qiang held the chopsticks in one hand and the rice bowl in the other, "Didn't Brother Heping tell you?"

Jiang Ning shook her head.

Sun Qiang is a shrewd person, rolled his eyes, and quickly replied: "You should go back and ask Brother Heping! After all, it is Brother Heping's matter, so I don't want to say more."

"Isn't it just a job, what else is there to say? Could it be that Shen Heping is doing a shameful job in the provincial capital?"

When Sun Qiang heard this, he waved his hands in a panic and denied it, "Sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense about this. Brother Heping is an amazing person. You can't think of him like that."

Jiang Ning didn't speak, and her doubts grew more and more.

Next, in order to prevent Jiang Ning from asking about Shen Heping's work, Sun Qiang kept asking for words, but did not give Jiang Ning a chance to continue asking.

After finally finishing his meal, Sun Qiang said that he still had something to do in the store, so he left in a hurry.

The more Sun Qiang was like this, the more Jiang Ning wondered what Shen Heping was doing.

After lunch, it was still early before the shuttle bus back to the village, so she went to the department store again, and it was going to be summer soon, so she planned to buy some clothes for Shen An and Shen Ning.

In the department stores of this era, there are many categories of things but a single style, as if they were all carved out of the same mold.

According to Shen An and Shen Ning's stature, she chose two sets of clothes for each of them in the mall.

Then she went around every floor of the department store, wanting to know more about it so that she could develop her career later.

This county town is full of not-too-tall buildings with something like satellite receivers on the roofs of the buildings.

Occasionally a car passes by on the cement street, and more often it is a bicycle.

In Jiang Ning's impression, the conditions of ordinary county towns in the 80s and [-]s are similar, and the consumption level is slightly better than that of towns.

After visiting the streets of the county seat, she went shopping at the vegetable market and bought some fresh apples at the fruit stand.

Seeing that it was almost time, she went back to the county bus station to wait for the bus.

...

It was getting dark, and Jiang Ning hadn't come back yet.

Usually at this point, the bus would have already passed by the village, but today the bus has not returned yet.

Standing in the courtyard dam, Shen Heping couldn't help but look up at the intersection.

There was still no sign of Jiang Ning.

At this time, Shen An came over with Shen Ning and asked, "Dad, what shall we have for dinner? Aning and I are both hungry."

After glancing at the two of them, Shen Heping looked at the intersection again.

"I'm going to make you dinner now."

"it is good."

Shen Heping finished dinner, and it was completely dark outside, but Jiang Ning still didn't come back.

Ignoring dinner, he found a flashlight from the room, and told the two children: "Eat first, I'll go to the entrance of the village to see your mother."

After speaking, Shen Heping left the house without waiting for the two to respond.

Shen An and Shen Ning looked at Shen Heping who was walking away, Shen An was full of doubts and muttered in a low voice: "Why does Dad suddenly care about her so much?"

Shen Ning smiled with satisfaction.

...

Shen Heping came to the entrance of the village with a flashlight, and saw a blurry figure from a distance...
