Yuan Ning returned to the dormitory with lotus root slices, and saw Su Suguan watering the flowers at the door. She was wearing a thin ginger sweater, a pair of slim jeans, and her long hair was tied in braids and hung down to her waist. so long.Such Su Suguan standing in the bright autumn sun made Yuan Ning unconsciously lighten his steps.

Yuan Ning didn't want to disturb him, but Su Suguan still saw him.Su Suguan scolded with a smile: "What are you doing sneakily? What did you buy when you went out early in the morning?"

"Sister Su! I bought some white porridge." Yuan Ning said, "There are also some lotus root slices. I have prepared a portion for you. You can try it with the porridge." Yuan Ning handed Su Suguan a small bag as he spoke. .

"Hey, you still bought me." Su Suguan smiled even wider, "You want me to be corrupted by capitalism!"

Just kidding, lotus root slices are not expensive after all, just a small side dish, Su Suguan still accepted it.Yuan Ning ran upstairs carrying porridge and lotus root slices, Song Xingchen and the others had already woken up.Yuan Ning shared a small portion with everyone and served them porridge by the way.Both Zhou Yulin and Du Xiaojie were embarrassed, Zhou Yulin said, "I'll buy it tomorrow."

Du Xiaojie also said, "Then I'll come the day after tomorrow."

"You don't need to buy them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Yuan Ning said. "Tomorrow we have to start military training, so we must go down to eat together, or we won't be able to make it in time!" Military training and normal classes are at 07:30, and the opening ceremony is at nine o'clock, so today we can take it easy come.Yuan Ning didn't want them to be burdened, "I was going to run in the morning, and today I was going to borrow a pot to make this lotus root slices, so I just brought porridge along the way."

Song Xingchen said: "Did you bring this lotus root?" Song Xingchen knew that Yuanning Ranch produced many special things, such as the fruit that Shuiyunjian wanted to sell.

Yuan Ning nodded.

Song Xingchen tacitly started to eat breakfast.

Yuan Ning also sent four copies to the dormitory next door. After all, the four neighbors in the dormitory next door were very enthusiastic yesterday, and even brought a pot of hot water to one of them in the dormitory, saying that the sports students need to strengthen their exercise.It was like seeing them as little brothers who needed to be taken care of.

The four neighbors also got up, and they were very moved when they found out that Yuan Ning brought him food.There is also a younger brother in their family, why isn't he so obedient?They all happily accepted the lotus root slices.

Yuan Ning returned to the dormitory, and found that Zhou Yulin and the others were all staring at him.He explained: "This lotus root is relatively rare, otherwise I wouldn't go to Teacher Hu's house to get it out."

"It's really rare." Zhou Yulin said.

Du Xiaojie didn't speak, just drank porridge and ate lotus root slices in silence.Yuan Ning didn't need to say that he knew that this lotus root was special, and his tongue was fine, so why couldn't he eat it?After finishing the porridge and lotus root slices, Du Xiaojie said, "It's better not to take out such a good thing."

Yuan Ning paused.

Du Xiaojie said: "You said you made it at Mr. Hu's house, so you must save some for Mr. Hu, right? If Mr. Hu asks you where you got it, can you get some for him, how do you tell him?" Du Xiaojie said earnestly, "As well as us and the people in the dormitory next door, what will you do if everyone asks you?"

"I don't have any more." Yuan Ning frowned.Because the lotus root may break if left for a long time, so he divides it up!

Du Xiaojie knew at a glance how well Yuan Ning was protected.This guy has never encountered any sinister and calculating, has he?He looked at Yuan Ning seriously: "If you say you don't have it, others will believe it? They might think that you refuse to bring it to them. How do you say there is a saying? Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!"

Yuan Ning was stunned.This is not the first time he has heard this sentence. In the house in "Dream", there is also such a sentence in the records left by the owner of the notebook - Mr. Lian once said similar words to him.So is it okay to even share a little bit of food?

Yuan Ning defended: "It's just more delicious..."

Du Xiaojie was about to say more, when a shout came from the sports student's neighbor outside the door: "Ning Ning, we will pack your hot water from now on! This wife of lotus root slices is so delicious!"

Yuan Ning: "..."

Du Xiaojie said: "Look, this is not ordinary delicious."

"It doesn't matter," Song Xingchen turned his head the fastest, and immediately found the best shield for Yuan Ning, "This is something from Shuiyunjian."

Yuan Ning was startled and nodded.That's why Mr. Lian came to him. Mr. Lian wanted to protect him.Everyone is protecting him. When will he grow up enough to protect ginseng babies?You can't rely on others to protect you all your life.Yuan Ning finished his breakfast in silence.

Du Xiaojie looked at the quiet Yuan Ning, feeling like he had said something wrong.He changed his clothes without saying a word, and when Yuan Ning had finished eating, he said, "I have no other intention, just to remind you."

Zhou Yulin cleaned up the trash on everyone's desks, then turned around and asked, "Are you going down?"

Yuan Ning cheered up and went downstairs with them.Su Su Guan sat behind the window of the dormitory management center, and when he saw the four of them coming down, he took another look at Yuan Ning.Yuan Ning shouted: "Sister Su!"

Su Suguan said, "Going to the opening ceremony?" She said, "Didn't you buy the lotus root slices you gave me this morning? There are not such delicious things here."

Du Xiaojie couldn't help showing a little color on his face, he looked at Yuan Ning and said "Look, I said it would be like this".

"Yes, I brought the lotus root and borrowed the pot from Mr. Hu's house." Yuan Ning replied honestly.

"The teacher's dormitory is so far away! Why are you running so far away? Come to me next time, and I'll lend you the pot." Su Guan said, "There are also some shameless guys in the teacher's dormitory, smelling the fragrance Just come to the door, and reach out your hand when you see something to eat. You, Mr. Hu, have good ability, good teaching, and good people, but you are a bit thin-skinned and don’t know what rejection is. Maybe next time you go to his house to make some Anything to eat will be eaten up as soon as it is cooked!"

"Sister Su, you are right!" Yuan Ning said happily, "Next time I will borrow the pot from you."

Su Suguan then let him go.

Yuan Ning ran back to Du Xiaojie and the others, looked at Du Xiaojie, and couldn't help saying, "I still think it's better to share the food."

This lotus root is delicious, but it doesn’t have any immediate effect, just like that fruit, most people will feel energetic after eating it, but there will be no special changes—unless the person who eats it is like Simon ·Pullman's body went wrong because of nerve congestion.

Sharing brings more happiness than sharing troubles.At least in Yuan Ning's view.

Looking at Yuan Ning's childish face, Du Xiaojie felt that Yuan Ning must have a happy family and a happy life.In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. He was also very happy when he ate the lotus root slices shared by Yuan Ning.If someone bullied Yuan Ning at school, they just help bully him back, so why worry so much?Du Xiaojie suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said, "It's fine if you like it, it doesn't matter. I think it's also very good, our beautiful dormitory sister has been conquered by you!"

Yuan Ning blushed: "Sister Su is very nice."

The four talked and laughed, and came to the entrance of the auditorium.It is said that Yuanjia Road is narrow, and it is true. As soon as the four of Yuan Ning walked to the door, they met yesterday's brother with slightly higher cheekbones, who was leading a freshman over.The freshman looked familiar. He was wearing a small suit and a bow tie. His hair was styled and combed up neatly. It was obvious that he had made careful preparations.

Yuan Ning paused and let them go first.The other party noticed Yuan Ning and the others, glanced twice, and strode into the auditorium.Yuan Ning and Song Xingchen looked at each other, knowing that this must be the student representative from the student union.Zhang Xiuwen and Zhang Xiuling haven't gone up yet, and someone else is in charge of the student union!

The four of Yuan Ning were looking for seats, and soon saw Hao Xiaolan waving at them, and several girls with flushed faces were also looking at them, it seemed that they were all Hao Xiaolan's roommates.They walked over, Hao Xiaolan shouted: "Ningning, Song Xingchen, here!"

After Yuan Ning sat down, Teacher Hu also came. After seeing Yuan Ning, Teacher Hu looked very kindly.Hao Xiaolan sat next to Yuan Ning, seeing this, she couldn't help saying: "Ning Ning, I always feel that Teacher Hu has been watching you!"

Yuan Ning told Hao Xiaolan about going to Hu Fei's house to make lotus root slices.

Hao Xiaolan said: "I want to eat too!" When they went to the pasture to play, Yuan Ning would cook some food for them occasionally, it was delicious!

"I'm already in junior high school," Yuan Ning said, "it's not good for boys to go to girls' dormitories all the time. They will be scolded by your dorm manager, and rumors will be outrageous."

Hao Xiaolan is not a naive person, as soon as Yuan Ning said it, she understood.Boys and girls in junior high school can't get too close, otherwise even the teacher will think you are in a relationship!

Yuan Ning said: "Next time you go to my house, I will make you something else to eat."

While speaking, the opening ceremony has already begun.First the principal spoke, and then the student representative from the third year of junior high school took the stage—the current president of the student union.Yuan Ning stopped talking from the principal's speech, and sat obediently to listen to the lecture.After the representative of the third year of junior high school finished speaking, the freshman representative of the first year of junior high school finally took the stage, the person they met at the door just now.

Freshman representatives were dressed very trendy, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, whether it was the freshmen or the second and third graders, there were exclamations one after another.The freshman representative was not nervous at all. He patted the microphone lightly, tried the sound test, and then said: "Hi everyone, I am Cai Yuankai, this year's freshman representative. It is a great honor to speak on behalf of the freshman." With a smile, "The one who spoke just now was the president of our student union. It's a good sign to be able to speak behind our president. future!"

"Wow!" Thunderous applause accompanied by exclamations sounded in the auditorium.For children in junior high school, this kind of arrogant and confident temper is still very appetizing to them.At this age, who doesn't have some awesome ideas in mind?It's just that not everyone dares to say it in front of so many people.

Hao Xiaolan whispered to Yuan Ning, "Who is this, who speaks so loudly?"

Yuan Ning looked at Cai Yuankai's figure, then at Song Xingchen's figure, and felt that Song Xingchen was a bit mysterious.Song Xingchen looks good, but he is still young, only a little taller than him, not as good as Cai Yuankai.But it's still more than a year before it's the turn of junior high school students, maybe Song Xingchen will grow taller by then!

Will he grow taller too?Yuan Ning made a secret gesture, eager to get taller quickly.

Cai Yuankai's next speech was very exciting. Yuan Ning listened carefully and felt that this person was indeed a man of real talent and learning, so he also applauded.

Yuan Ning is in class one, and Cai Yuankai is in class two.When Cai Yuankai returned to his seat, someone put his shoulders on his shoulders and asked, "The freshman representative must be No.1 in the high school entrance examination, right? Cai Yuankai, what score did you get in the exam?"

Cai Yuankai glanced at the hand resting on his shoulder, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.However, he quickly hid his disgust and said modestly, "293."

"This year's question is so difficult, and you only deducted seven points!" The person who asked the question had a loud voice, and when he yelled, everyone around knew Cai Yuankai's score.

Someone said in surprise: "Our school seems to have a score of 295."

"I heard that No.1 is 297!"

"There are two people in our elementary school who are tied for the first place." This person obviously got in from Wangxian Elementary School. "Both scored 296 points!"

Aren't student representatives elected based on grades?Everyone looked at Cai Yuankai with strange eyes.

Cai Yuankai's face was very calm, but his hands on his knees were slightly clenched into fists.He turned his head to look in the direction of class [-].Of course he knew that the top four were all in the first class, and the senior who came to him to be the freshman representative mentioned it.Those few people seemed to disdain to be the student representative at all.In contrast, how ridiculous he was when he prepared seriously!

If he had known that the freshman representative was someone they didn't want to be him, he wouldn't have agreed!

Cai Yuankai withdrew his gaze and listened carefully to the host's introduction of the next session.

As a result, the next link is to reward students with excellent grades.

When the first four names were pronounced, Cai Yuankai felt as if he had been slapped in the face in public.Zhou Yulin!Yuan Ning!Song Xingchen!Du Xiaojie!

Cai Yuankai gritted his teeth and memorized these names before getting up on stage to accept the award.As No.5, he was standing in the middle when receiving the award, which was the most photogenic position.The photographer hired by the school clicked and took pictures of them.

When walking down the stage, Cai Yuankai called out to Yuan Ning and the others: "I'm only a few points behind you," he said with a grim expression, "I will definitely do better than you in the midterm exam!"

Zhou Yulin glanced at him, but didn't say a word.Yuan Ning was very considerate of Cai Yuankai, and said as he walked down, "Then you have to work harder! I read every night, but I still can't pass Song Xingchen and the others!"

Cai Yuankai stared at him.

Neither Song Xingchen nor Du Xiaojie bothered to talk to Cai Yuankai.This guy looks a little proud, he must be used to being the first, and can't bear to have someone ahead of him.He is used to being number one, but others are not used to it?Song Xingchen and Du Xiaojie were also outstanding in their original school, leaving others behind!

Of course, Yuan Ning had already tied with Song Xingchen in the last two exams.

Song Xingchen glanced at Yuan Ning.If he cared about scores like Cai Yuankai, wouldn't it be impossible for him to be friends with Yuan Ning?

Fortunately, neither he nor Yuan Ning is that kind of person!

After separating from Cai Yuankai, Song Xingchen said to Yuan Ning, "Don't worry about such people."

Yuan Ning said: "It's good that he is like this, he is aggressive."

"Agitation is not necessarily strong, but ruthlessness is for sure," Song Xingchen said, "Have you forgotten? The 'senior brother' yesterday made us change dormitories because of him. His father is the middle-aged man surnamed Cai, and that Huang The director calls him 'Director Cai', and he is not a small official." Even if his vision is a little lower, the son he raised is just like him.

After being reminded by Song Xingchen, Yuan Ning also remembered why Cai Yuankai looked familiar.Yuan Ning suddenly said, "So it's him!"

The freshmen had a very easy two days before the start of school, but the next few days were hard, and they got military training.The school issued a uniform camouflage uniform, and Yuan Ning changed into it early the next morning. The size was just right. With a small water bottle on his back, a small belt, and a military cap, he looked energetic.

They were still young, and the instructors didn't control them too strictly. They trained for half an hour and rested for half an hour, so as not to exhaust the flowers of the motherland.

Because they were not particularly tired, the freshmen were very excited, and even after the show was over, they still learned military songs from the instructors.It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Although one or two of the freshmen have no singing skills, they roared loud enough that the students from the second and third grades of junior high school all lay on the railing to watch them.

Happy!

Happy days always pass quickly, and soon the military training will end.Yuan Ning and his party sent off the instructors reluctantly, their eyes were red.They were about to go back to the dormitory, but Song Xingchen pushed Yuan Ning, making Yuan Ning look at the big locust tree not far away.

The leaves of the big locust tree are still very green, brightly illuminated by the sun.

A familiar figure stood under the big locust tree.

It was Zhang Xiuyan.

Zhang Xiuyan has grown very tall.He was tall and tall, with a handsome face, obviously just standing there looking at him, but it already made Yuan Ning's heart beat a few times.Yuan Ning looked around and saw that many people had noticed Zhang Xiuyan.A little girl of this age is still very shy, and won't say anything in front of everyone, but her footsteps involuntarily slow down, and her eyes are all on Zhang Xiuyan.

Big brother is really eye-catching!

Yuan Ning happily ran over: "Brother, you are here!"

Zhang Xiuyan nodded, looked at Yuan Ning carefully, and found that the military training during this period did not tan Yuan Ning, but made his face more rosy, looking healthy.Zhang Xiuyan asked: "It's time to go home today, have you packed everything?"

Yuan Ning said: "Not yet! I'm about to go back to clean up!" He found Zhang Xiuyan's voice hoarse, "Brother, are you sick?"

He was a little tired from practicing these days, so he didn't call his elder brother much.

"I have a cold, and my throat is not feeling well." Zhang Xiuyan knew that Yuan Ning had always been careful, so he didn't hide it. "It's almost healed, there's no big problem."

Yuan Ningzai looked at Zhang Xiuyan carefully, and he was relieved only after making sure that Zhang Xiuyan was fine.He said, "Brother, you live alone and never take care of yourself!"

"How could it be?" Zhang Xiuyan categorically denied, "During this period of time, the weather in the capital has fluctuated from hot to cold, and many people have fallen ill."

Yuan Ning led Zhang Xiuyan to the dormitory.

As soon as Zhang Xiuyan saw Yuan Ning's dormitory, he knew that it was also remodeled by Yuan Ning, and he felt very comfortable looking at it.There are not many green plants in the house, but they make the house lively.While Yuan Ning was packing up his things, Zhang Xiuyan sat down and looked through the books and counseling materials on Yuan Ning's desk to see if Yuan Ning was seriously reading the books himself.

While "reviewing" seriously, Zhang Xiuyan suddenly saw a different notebook.He glanced at Yuan Ning, who was stuffing things into his small backpack, and picked up the notebook to read.As soon as he started to use it, the heavy feeling made Zhang Xiuyan know that this notebook was "heavy in weight". When he opened it, he found that it was full of newspaper clippings posted by Yuan Ning.

It seems that this is Yuan Ning's newspaper clipping.

Zhang Xiuyan carefully looked at the contents of the newspaper clippings, was startled for a moment, and turned back.

Yuan Ning was about to take two books home, but when he looked up, his heart almost jumped into his throat.With a blushing face, he snatched the newspaper clippings back from Zhang Xiuyan's hands: "Brother, how can you peek at my things!"

Zhang Xiuyan raised his eyebrows: "I think it's all about me." If Yuan Ning hadn't cut it out specially, he wouldn't know that he had been in newspapers so many times.I have to admit that Yuan Ning's "secret" made him feel very happy--this kind of joy made him so happy that he didn't want to delve into why it happened.

Yuan Ning said: "Although it was written about Big Brother, I cut this newspaper clipping!"

"I can't watch?" Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning with obvious doubts in his eyes.

Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment.

It's just a newspaper clipping, nothing to read.

Yuan Ning said with a sullen face, "You can watch it."

Zhang Xiuyan looked down generously.When he saw the report about Wu Xibi, Zhang Xiuyan paused, staring fixedly at himself and Yuan Ning above.Although this is a New Year's event, it feels like a long time has passed.Now they are both away from home, one in the capital and one here.Zhang Xiuyan asked Yuan Ning to come over and watch: "Your brother Zhao did a good job."

Yuan Ning also looked at himself and Zhang Xiuyan in the photo.

"I also think Brother Zhao did a good job," Yuan Ning said.

Yuan Ning packed up and went home with Zhang Xiuyan.Yuan Ning went back to the room, put down his schoolbag, went into the spring, and found the fish and lotus: "Lotus, lotus, can you give me another root? A small one is fine." Yuan Ning was afraid that they would make things difficult, and then Added a sentence, "If it doesn't work, forget it."

The fish swam in circles in the water, soon revealing the mud at the bottom of the pond and the lotus root lying in the mud.Not as big as last time, but enough!Yuan Ning went down to touch the lotus root, thanked Yu'er and Lianhua, ran out to buy some big round and fat pears, and mixed fresh lotus root at home to squeeze the juice.

This is what his mother made for him before. It is called Qiuli Baiou Juice. The name is very nice and it is also good for the throat.Yuan Ning made the autumn pear and white lotus root juice, put some of it in the refrigerator, and then took it upstairs to knock on Zhang Xiuyan's door.

Zhang Xiuyan opened the door and saw Yuan Ning holding a cup.
