Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Gu Siyuan: ...

Lu Youning thought of the intimate action just now, her face flushed slightly, and she said softly: "I will."

The atmosphere in the basketball hall became a little subtle. The four people stood there, as if they didn't know what to say.

Finally, it was Ruan Fuxi who broke the silence: "Okay, sit down, don't let this little accident affect your mood. Let's go play ball."

Lu Youning's gaze remained fixed on Ruan Fuxi, a complex mix of emotions filling her heart. Boys might really be more resilient to a beating; he was still playing basketball like nothing had happened.

She remembered that in her previous life, her thumb was hit by a basketball. Her finger was swollen for a week and took more than half a month to heal.

Ruan Fuxi was playing basketball with Gu Siyuan on the court as if nothing had happened.

Lu Yixiao looked at Lu Youning and then at Ruan Fuxi. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she thought to herself: These two people seem to have a chance.

An hour later, the two boys were finally tired, and Ruan Fuxi said, "Let's stop here for today's exercise."

Gu Siyuan gulped down a few gulps of water and replied, "Okay, I won't fight anymore."

Before going back, Lu Youning couldn't help but ask again: "Ruan Fuxi, is your back really okay?"

Ruan Fuxi touched his back and answered patiently: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Okay, I'm going back now. Bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Afterwards, Gu Siyuan and Lu Yixiao said goodbye.

After Ruan Fuxi sent them all away, he went to the bathroom to wash up immediately after returning home. He didn't like the sticky feeling on his body.

When I turned around to take off my clothes, I saw a small mark on my back. I couldn't help but think of Lu Youning's worried look at that time. I felt inexplicably happy.

When he came out of the shower, he saw his parents had returned. Mother Ruan saw him come out, pointed at the gift on the coffee table, and asked, "What is this?"

Ruan Fuxi looked in the direction of the finger and saw that it was a gift from Lu Youning. He walked over, picked it up and said, "Spring Festival couplets from a friend."

When Mr. Ruan heard this, he showed an interested look and asked, "Why did your friend give you the Spring Festival couplets?"

Ruan Fuxi replied: "She wrote it herself."

Mother Ruan said, "Let me see." Then she took it from him, opened the box, and spread out the couplet inside. Father Ruan came over to take a look and exclaimed, "The calligraphy is well done, vigorous and powerful."

At the same time, a similar scene was playing out at Gu Siyuan's house. Gu Siyuan placed the Spring Festival couplets on the desk, looking at them with joy, and was about to stick them on the door.

Gu Siyuan's parents walked into the room and stopped in their tracks when they saw the couplets. "The calligraphy is so beautiful and well-written," his mother praised.

Gu Siyuan smiled and replied, "It was given to me by a friend of mine. She wrote it herself." The parents looked surprised.

Father Gu teased, "You have such an outstanding friend?"

Gu Siyuan didn't get angry when he heard this: "Of course it depends on your son's personal charm."

At Lu Yixiao's house, she hung the Spring Festival couplets on the living room wall, and the family sat on the sofa admiring them. Lu Yixiao's parents also liked them more and more, and kept praising them.

……

"Ningning, put on your helmet quickly, we're leaving." said Lu's mother.

Lu Youning responded with an "OK" and then put away his phone and put on his helmet.

Today she and her mother went to a distant vegetable market to buy fresh beef and local chickens.

The vegetable market they were going to was located in the suburbs, and it took about an hour and a half to drive there by tram.

Mother Lu heard from her colleagues at work that the meat and vegetables in the vegetable market over there are very fresh and relatively cheap.

Then today they split up into two groups, Lu Youning and Lu's mother went to a distant vegetable market, while Lu's father went to a big supermarket to buy some New Year's goods to take back home for the New Year.

Lu Youning and her mother were riding a tram, and the wind was whistling in their ears.

Lu Youning asked loudly, "Mom, is that vegetable market really that good? Why go so far?"

Mother Lu also raised her voice and responded: "Listen to what your Aunt Li said, it must be right.

The local chickens there are all raised by farmers themselves, and the beef and pork are slaughtered in the early morning, so they are very fresh and affordable.

Let’s buy some more beef later and bring some back home for the New Year.

Your grandparents also raise free-range chickens, so instead of bringing chickens back, let's bring some other New Year's goods for our relatives to try."

Soon, the mother and daughter arrived at the vegetable market. It was indeed bustling with people coming and going, full of the breath of life.

Lu Youning looked at the dazzling array of stalls and exclaimed, "Mom, this place is really big."

I took out my phone, took a few photos and sent them to Lu Huaiyu: "Brother, my mother and I came to buy New Year's goods today. What do you want to eat?"

Lu Huaiyu quickly replied: "Buy more meat."

Lu Youning: "Okay, let's go buy some groceries first."

Mother Lu held Lu Youning's hand and said as they walked, "Stop playing and quickly find a stall selling beef and free-range chicken."

The two of them walked around the vegetable market, asking questions while looking for the target stall.

Lu Youning suddenly saw a stall selling bright red beef, some parts of which were still throbbing. She pulled her mother over and said, "Mom, what do you think of this beef?"

Mother Lu looked at it carefully, pressed it with her hand, nodded and said, "It looks good. Boss, how much is this beef?" After some bargaining, Mother Lu bought about ten pounds of beef with satisfaction.

Then, they continued their search for the chicken stall. Lu Youning was a little tired from being squeezed and muttered, "Mom, my legs are sore from searching."

Mother Lu encouraged her, "Just hold on a little longer and find a good local chicken. I'll make you delicious chicken soup for the New Year."

Lu Youning said, "I want to eat boiled chicken, not chicken soup. Then I'll go to the pork stall and buy some lean and fat pork belly to make braised pork."

When it comes to braised pork, Lu Youning no longer feels tired or crowded. Braised pork is a dish that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. All the hard work is worth it just to eat it.

Mother Lu smiled and agreed, "You're also a greedy cat and picky. I don't know who you take after."

"It's up to you and dad." Lu Youning said mischievously.

Finally, they found a local chicken stall and picked out a few plump local chickens.

Finally, the mother and daughter came to the pork stall. Lu Youning's eyes were fixed on the fat and lean pork belly, as if she had already seen the plate of bright red and fragrant braised pork.

Mother Lu skillfully selected the pork belly while negotiating the price with the stall owner.

Lu Youning couldn't wait to say, "Mom, you must pick out good quality pork belly, not too fatty. That way the braised pork belly will taste good."

Mother Lu responded with a smile: "I know, little greedy cat. You're the only one who's greedy. You'll have a lot to do when you get home later."

After buying the pork belly, the mother and daughter were about to go home, but when they saw some fresh vegetables they bought some more.

Lu Youning and her mother both returned with several bags full of things in their hands.

Lu Youning said with emotion: "Although this trip is long, it is worth it."

Mother Lu smiled and said, “Yes, when your father comes back from the supermarket, we can prepare things for our trip back home.

Back downstairs in the community, Lu Youning called Lu's father, "Hey, Dad, are you back? We bought so much that we can't carry it all. Can you come down and help carry some?"

Dad Lu agreed and came downstairs in a short while. Looking at the large and small bags of things at the feet of the mother and daughter, Dad Lu said in surprise: "Why did you buy so much?"

Mother Lu rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "It's your greedy daughter. One moment she wants white-cut chicken, the next she wants braised pork belly. When she sees fresh vegetables, she buys some too."
