Chapter 657 My Hero Tongtong
River dam, kitchen.

As Jiang Ning's words came out, Xue Yuantong immediately said: "You only told me the result, it seems you don't know the reason either!"

Xue Chuchu's reaction was completely opposite to Tongtong's.

When Jiang Ning said this, his eyes were looking at her, as if he was talking to her.

Xue Chuchu understood what he meant in an instant. Was he using objects to describe people?
The fire in the stove burned brighter, and the aroma of rice rose from the cracks on the edge of the pot lid along with the misty steam, like a lingering mist. In this hazy mist, Xue Chuchu's cold face became vaguely visible.
She was a little angry. How could he say such a thing?

Where am I, that...

Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and said nothing. She was unhappy and went to the chopping board alone to prepare the food.

Xue Yuantong was so stupid that she naturally didn't notice the change in the atmosphere. She was still happily discussing the principle of smoldering with Jiang Ning.

She used her knowledge to explain proudly: "When the firewood is smoldering, there is less oxygen in the stove, so the flame of the dry wood is very small, but the wood begins to pyrolyze in the limited oxygen, producing a lot of combustibles. When the lid is opened, a lot of air enters, and the combustibles accumulated before mix with the oxygen, and the flame will burn more and more vigorously."

After finishing his speech, Xue Yuantong raised his chin and said proudly, "Isn't that awesome?"

Jiang Ning clapped his hands and praised: "Great, great."

Although he knew that he should do this before, he didn't know the principle. It seems that Tongtong is not useless.

"Then how are you going to reward me?" Xue Yuantong began to beg for benefits. As she said this, her eyes glanced towards the stove.

Jiang Ning picked up the fire hook next to him, which is also called a furnace hook.

A very simple tool, an iron bar thinner than the little finger, with one end bent to form a hook shape.

When cooking with a fire, you can use a fire hook to turn the firewood and adjust its position so that it burns more thoroughly.

He held the fire hook, put it into the flame of the stove, and then hooked it lightly. A few peanuts were accurately hooked out from the ash under the flame, and the surface was charred.

When making the fire just now, Jiang Ning deliberately threw a few in.

When the roasted peanuts are taken out, a burnt aroma comes out.

After the peanuts had cooled on the ground for a while, Xue Yuantong stretched out her little hand. She didn't mind the dirt and her hands were covered with wood ash.

The peanuts were very hot, and Xue Yuantong turned them back and forth with his hands to relieve the heat.

She waited until it was not too hot before peeling the peanuts. The unique burnt aroma of the peanuts became more intense.

In fact, cooked peanuts are now sold everywhere. If you want to buy them, you can just find a dried fruit store on the street.

But freshly roasted, piping hot roasted peanuts like this are usually less available.

Xue Yuantong peeled off the skin and put one into his mouth. It was hot, fragrant and crispy.

She didn't forget to stuff one into Jiang Ning's mouth: "You eat one too."

Jiang Ning opened his mouth, and Tongtong smeared the soot on her fingertips onto the edge of his mouth.

Her hands, which were heated by the peanuts, touched Jiang Ning's skin, and the warmth was transmitted along with it.

"Hmph!" Xue Yuantong was seeking revenge for the pinching of his face just now.

Seeing the wood ash on Jiang Ning's mouth, Xue Yuantong smiled secretly again.

It was completely dark outside.

The two of them squeezed into the small space in front of the stove, eating roasted peanuts one by one. The earthen pot on the stove above was emitting steam, and the delicious meal was about to be cooked.

Jiang Ning suddenly thought of his childhood, when his parents had not yet left their hometown to work in coastal areas, and he was not a left-behind child.

He was just like he is now, sitting in front of the stove, living a peaceful, happy and carefree life.

However, those youthful days will eventually disappear with the passage of time, leaving only memories.

From then on, it was like a lamp, illuminating the way ahead, guiding Jiang Ning through countless difficulties, to pick himself up and run towards that light again and again.

Perhaps the treasures that people pursue in their lives have already been given by time in their childhood.

Jiang Ning picked up the fire hook again and picked out a few roasted peanuts from the ashes under the firewood.

This time, he didn't give in to Xue Yuantong and he snatched away half of the peanuts.

"cut!"

Xue Yuantong was slightly displeased and decisively reached out to grab the other half.

In this early winter, the two of them, their hands covered with soot, fought over a few roasted peanuts and ate them happily.

……

Xue Chuchu suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to cook anymore.

The vulgar Jiang Ning and the cunning Tong Tong were playing with joy on their faces.

And she, the hostess of the kitchen and the creator of dinner, could only watch them enjoy themselves.

That is not Chuchu's happiness.

Jiang Ning noticed the disappointment on Chuchu's face. He moved his consciousness and reminded her, "Chuchu, your screen is on."

Upon hearing this, Xue Chuchu looked at the phone on the edge of the chopping board, and sure enough, a message from QQ popped up on the screen.

She carefully examined the distance and angle between the phone and Jiang Ning. From his position, he could indeed see the phone, but wasn't he having a lot of fun playing with Tongtong just now?

Why did you notice my phone?
Has he been...

Xue Chuchu felt weird.

She did not dwell on this doubt. She wiped her hands, opened her phone, and saw a message from her deskmate Mu Ying.

Xue Yuantong: "Chu Chu, who's looking for you?"

She and Chuchu have been playing together since childhood. They are not plastic sisters like in later generations. They share many secrets.

Although they cannot reach the level of intimacy like Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing, they are still close enough to take care of each other's families in the future.

"Well, my deskmate asked me if I want to participate in the topic discussion activity in the Mathematics Micro Lecture after school tomorrow afternoon." Xue Chuchu replied.

Xue Yuantong was curious: "What is that?"

Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong, thinking of her incredible achievements, and said, "You probably don't need to know."

Micro-lecture hall is a relatively new model. As the strongest high school in Yuzhou, Yuzhou No. 2 High School has many advanced concepts that are often not possessed by other high schools.

For example, in a micro-lecture room, students and teachers discuss and determine the topic, and then students host the class and share their thoughts, experiences, and understandings with other students, so as to stimulate students' interest in learning and promote...

In short, only relatively outstanding students can take on this role.

"Then do you agree?" Xue Yuantong asked.

Xue Chuchu shook her head. She didn't like to participate in that kind of activities. "I refused. I told her that I had something to do at home tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, okay." Xue Yuantong understood.

She had finished eating the peanuts and was feeling unsatisfied and had nothing to do.

So I went to talk to Chuchu.

Xue Chuchu knew that the two of them had finished their fun and finally had time to pay attention to her, and she was speechless.

However, despite feeling helpless, her mood finally improved.

Xue Yuantong asked again: "Do you have anything to do at home tomorrow afternoon? What is it?"

Xue Chuchu said: "It's okay, it's just an excuse."

She just doesn't want to participate in school activities. Instead of communicating with many classmates she is not familiar with, she would rather go back home, make a cup of tea and read leisurely, or watch some videos and study cooking.

Well, there is no wifi at her house, so she used Jiang Ning’s wifi, so she could watch the video.

"Hey, Chuchu, you're lying without changing your expression." Xue Yuantong laughed.

I remember that Xue Chuchu used to be very nervous when she lied.

Xue Chuchu didn't follow her topic. She suddenly sighed: "Tongtong, have you noticed that when we were young, we lied to our families in order to go out with friends, but now we lie to our friends in order to stay at home."

Xue Yuantong tilted his head, "Yes."

"But I used to lie, so my mom wouldn't let me go out to play. She was very strict." Xue Yuantong said, "Sometimes I would sneak out, and my mom would find me and drag me back home."

Jiang Ning said happily: "You are so smart, is there no way?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Yuantong crossed his arms and said arrogantly:

"Later, my mother wouldn't let me go out to play, so I locked her in the house and went out to play with the key."

Jiang Ning: "6."

Xue Chuchu thought to herself: "If your cries hadn't reached my house later, I would have really thought you were a hero."
