Chapter 84 The weather is getting colder, and so is my heart
Sun Jianguo was obviously having a great time and asked Jiang Nian if he wanted to post on Douyin.

After Jiang Nian shook his head, he made a request. After Jiang Nian nodded, Sun Jianguo ran to take a photo of Yu Hu and posed for it and posted a video on TikTok.

The caption reads, "Look down on all people and things, accept the arrangement of fate, the weather is getting colder, and so is my heart. The greatest kindness of middle-aged people is to remain silent."

Jiang Nian was delighted when he saw it and gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Sun, there is depth."

Anyway, he didn't post anything on his social media, so the fish and the money were his. Sun Jianguo spent a little money, not only pretended to be a big shot, but also got three big wild fish for free.

Win-win.

As for whether Sun Zhicheng in the class group was embarrassed or not, that had nothing to do with Jiang Nian.

Your dad is happy.

Well, both dads are happy.

At noon, Sun Jianguo enthusiastically drove the fish to Xu Qianqian's hometown, while Jiang Nian rode the old motorcycle back home, making a lot of noise.

When the black Mazda drove to the door, Xu Qianqian was stunned.

Her grandparents were also confused for a long time and kept talking to Sun Jianguo.

"Master, we didn't order any fish. The banquet will be held at the restaurant in front of the temple."

Sun Jianguo asked someone to bring a large basin of water while he made a WeChat video call to Jiang Nian. He was still riding his bike on the road, and when he saw the two old men on the screen, he immediately understood.

After a brief explanation, the two old people finally felt relieved and went happily to get the basin.

Sun Jianguo was also a smart man. He roughly guessed that Jiang Nian had a close relationship with this family, but he didn't know whether they were relatives or in-laws.

He was afraid that the two old people might not understand, so he turned to Xu Qianqian in the yard and spoke.

"It won't last long in a pot, it will die. You have to keep it in a pond."

Xu Qianqian was a little confused. "The small pond in our vegetable garden has not been used for a long time and has been completely abandoned."

Sun Jianguo thought about it and took out the spare oxygenator he bought for more than 100 yuan from his car. He didn't need this little money, and it was more cost-effective to make friends with Jiang Nian.

Many of his boss friends also love fishing. Seizing the river means seizing the future.

And he has already thought of the copy for his next Tik Tok post.

[The wind was so strong that it blew away my fish, just like it blew away my life. ]

Xu Qianqian watched as Sun Jianguo personally gave the fish in the basin oxygen and taught her how to use it. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, Jiang Nian arrived on his rotten motorcycle at this time, and Sun Jianguo greeted him with a smile and chatted with him for a while. Before leaving, he made a gesture of contact and then drove away.

"You caught all these?" Xu Qianqian was still a little confused. She looked down at the fish, then looked at Jiang Nian, "Did you buy them from that guy?"

"Believe it or not." Jiang Nian looked indifferent.

When men make this gesture, what they say is generally true. If the genders are reversed and a woman says love in a nonchalant way, it is most likely false.

Xu Qianqian believed it, "Hey, when did you get to know that person? You two seem to be quite familiar with each other."

"We just met not long ago. We happened to be fishing at Xiaolongtan together." Jiang Nian walked to the oxygenator, took a look, squatted down and said, "I asked around and found out that he is the father of a classmate of mine."

"Oh, then how should we return this oxygenator to him?" Xu Qianqian bent down, looked at the two basins of dozens of swimming fish curiously, and blinked her eyes.

"Just buy it. I just made a little money from him. I'll transfer the money to him via WeChat later."

"earn?"

"Well, I sold him three fish."

Xu Qianqian was almost dizzy from what she heard. What an outrageous plot.

"By the way, Xu Qianqian." Jiang Nian stood up and said, "Even with the oxygenator, not all of these fish can survive. Pick a few and kill them."

"Why, why don't you kill him!"

Jiang Nian spread his hands, "I'm a guest."

"What kind of guest are you?" Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth, and suddenly understood someone's bad taste, "You must also take action! Otherwise, you can eat instant noodles for lunch!"

Jiang Nian was as steady as an old dog, with a peaceful smile on his face.

Sure enough, grandma couldn't help but come over to mediate the fight.

"I'll kill, I'll kill."

In front of the faucet in the yard, Xu Qianqian was squatting alone, killing fish in distress.

The ground was covered with white fish scales. Under the faucet, several fish were gutted in a red plastic basin, and blood was flowing out along the mossy ditch.

Jiang Nian sat on the wall, playing with his phone and laughing loudly, almost laughing to death.

"You want to die!" Xu Qianqian held the kitchen knife in her hand and chopped it hard on the chopping board. With a thud, she said, "Get out of here quickly! Don't let me see you!"

"That won't work. Do you know how hard it is for me to fish?"

"What does it have to do with me!" Xu Qianqian was almost angry to death. She killed five fish and her hands were almost numb.

"Of course it has something to do with you, baby." Jiang Nian laughed so hard that he almost fell off the wall. "You're so funny when you're angry. Your fish-killing skills have improved."

"You! I really want to chop your dog head off!"

"Wo Ri, you are so cruel that I am almost going to die just by listening to you."

In the afternoon, Lao Xu drove back.

He seemed to be in a good mood, and walked around the fish in the basin with interest for a few times, and then asked Xu Qianqian to go into the house to wake up Jiang Nian who had slept all afternoon. The three of them went up the mountain with incense and yellow paper bags, Jiang Nian carried a chicken, and Old Xu carried a red plastic bag containing incense and gold ingots.

The bag in Xu Qianqian's hand was filled with a thick layer of paper money.

As Old Xu had already swept the grave yesterday, the weeds around it had been dug clean. There were traces of burning paper on the ground, and the father and daughter looked very calm, with occasional smiles on their faces.

Time makes people get used to it.

Jiang Nian was not too solemn, just like visiting an elder, and bled the chicken while talking. The bright red blood stained the yellow paper, and he probably took a little and then burned it.

It was cloudy and the temperature in the mountains was low.

When burning paper, the scraps of paper flew around, and he saw goose bumps on Xu Qianqian's arm. So he asked her quietly if she was cold, and she shook her head.

You can't throw too much yellow paper at once, otherwise it won't burn through, so Jiang Nian increased the frequency of throwing paper into the fire. The flames suddenly grew bigger and the temperature slowly climbed.

There is a lot of rain in the mountains, and the ditches are blocked by fallen leaves, or the soil accumulates and hardens over a long period of time. Slowly, the originally flat and smooth tomb will accumulate water.

After lighting the incense and candles, Old Xu squatted over the ditch to pull out weeds. Holding a small square stone picked up from the roadside in his hand, he patiently cleaned the uneven ditch.

After working for an afternoon, the area around the tomb was finally cleaned up.

The three of them rested for a while and prepared to go back.

Old Xu picked up the dead chicken and prepared to throw it into the river according to custom. The old man said that the chicken would have no taste after being dyed with yellow paper, and it could not be eaten, so it had to be thrown away after use.

The extra incense and candles were not taken away, but placed nearby, weighed down by small gray stones. When he came, his hands were full of things, and when he left, he left with a dead chicken.

When walking back, Old Xu specifically gave instructions.

"Look forward, don't look back."

Jiang Nian didn't know what to say, so he just kept silent. He suppressed the urge to look back all the way until he was completely out of the valley.

Old Xu and Xu Qianqian also stopped and looked back.

The mountain is not very pretty, and even a little deformed. There are many places with large patches of baldness, exposing the yellow land, which looks dark from a distance.

The sky was overcast and the mountains were silent.

Jiang Nian looked at it for a while and then looked away, thinking that Old Xu would come back here in the future. Seeing how seriously he was cleaning, it seemed as if he was going to lie down there tomorrow.

After going down the mountain, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

Suddenly someone added him in the class group. Jiang Nian thought it was his "oldest son" Sun Zhicheng. But it turned out to be Lin Dong. He immediately remembered the saying "Only idiots would sign up."

After passing.

(Lin Dong): "Jiang Nian, can I ask you something?"

"explain."

(Lin Dong): "Did you take any other photos while fishing today? I have a cousin who heard about you and admires you so much that he wants to see the fish you caught."

"Cousin?"

(Lin Dong): "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Jiang Nian wasn't too enthusiastic, "I only took the video in the group, I didn't take any other videos."

(Lin Dong): "Oh, ok, thank you (grin)."

"Strange, where did this cousin come from?"

Jiang Nian just felt strange, but he was too lazy to think about it. As the sky gradually darkened, he put away his phone and prepared to wash his hands and eat. He had to go back tomorrow afternoon.

The sports meet will be held from Thursday to Saturday afternoon, and evening self-study will continue in the evening. And starting from this week, the school will implement a make-up class system, and classes will be held on Sunday mornings.

This means that unless there are special circumstances, the only school holiday in the future will be Sunday afternoons.

The sports meet is the final carnival.

After dinner, Xu Qianqian went back to her room to do her homework.

Jiang Nian didn't bring any homework and didn't want to do it. So he turned around and asked Lao Xu to have tea with him. The two grown men set out hot tea and melon seeds on the balcony on the second floor.

Looking at the pitch-black night, the distant blue mountains are hidden in it.

Old Xu suddenly sighed, "Xiao Nian, you have grown up and become much more sensible."

"Haha, that's about right. I'm already in my third year of high school." Jiang Nian laughed, "Eighteen years old means I'm an adult."

But in my heart I was thinking that I was not sensible, I was just greedy for your daughter.

Buy a ghost fire car next time and park it downstairs to measure your heart rate.

In fact, it is not necessarily possible to succeed by just applying the buff of childhood sweethearts. Nowadays, this thing is everywhere. People who went to the same elementary school can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Same primary school, different village, does this count?
You are a bootlicker and you will never be able to go to her elementary school in your life.

So in a broad sense, childhood sweethearts is just a title similar to neighbors. Whether it is ambiguous or not depends entirely on the appearance of the two people and whether they are attracted to each other.

She is good-looking and we are childhood sweethearts.

Not pretty, that is.
"My ugly neighbor often confesses in an incomprehensible dialect."

She is good-looking and close to me, so it is natural to think about her. If there is a date or not, just give it a try. Who cares what happens in the future? Ambiguity can happen without any conditions.

"Come to think of it, you're eighteen this year, right? Isn't it time to consider enrolling in a driving school or something?" Old Xu said, picking up his teacup, giving him a casual reminder.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, "It's time to sign up for an exam. Uncle Xu, do you know any coaches?"
