Xunyang Notice

During the Hungry Ghost Festival, the temperature at night was already a little low. Jiang Ning went downstairs with his slippers on and earphones plugged into his ears.From a distance, we could see fire piles in twos and threes at the crossroads. In front of each fire pile, people kept throwing paper money into it. When the wooden stick was picked lightly, sparks scattered in all directions, like scattered gold coins.The uncles and aunts who like to walk rarely return early, and the streets seem a little deserted.

His eyes drooped slightly, and he went straight to the nearest small supermarket and walked in.

No one was picking things in the supermarket, but there were two upstairs neighbors chatting lively.

"Hey, that girl from the Li family is so pretty, she'll be gone if she says she's gone, it's only been a few days, and her mother is already thin and out of shape."

"No, it's easy for someone to provide for a college student. After graduation and marrying a good family, her parents won't wait to enjoy the blessings! It's all over now."

"An unmarried person who died suddenly could not be buried in the ancestral grave in the past."

"Today happens to be the seventh day of her first day and the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. I wonder if I can come back to see her mother..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm timid, so stop talking."

Jiang Ning paused while holding something. He didn't want to get down at first, but when he was about to sleep, he realized that the mosquito coil was used up.There are many and fierce mosquitoes in the mountainous area. If you don't take this trip, you may be sucked dry if you sleep until midnight.Bite the bullet and went downstairs and heard these words, and suddenly felt a chill down the back.

"8 yuan." Jiang Ning grabbed the box of mosquito coils and was about to scan the QR code to leave, but the aunt in the supermarket stretched out two fingers at him and asked again: "The girl who lives downstairs in your house is gone, you know?" ?"

Jiang Ning twitched his forehead, took off an earphone, and forced a smile, "I just heard."

Aunt Wang is a landowner in the south of the city. According to herself, she grew up here when she was a child, and watched the good nursery turn into a high-rise reinforced concrete building.The aunt has never been to work in her life. After the old man went, she lived by this small supermarket. On the day of welcoming and delivering, she has practiced a sharp tongue, and she can chat no matter whether you are introverted or extroverted.

Jiang Ning's personality can't be called introverted, to be exact, it's called withdrawn, and he didn't get to know where he lived upstairs and downstairs, and he just nodded at each other when they met.He remembered that the girl was really good-looking, she had a small dimple on the left side when she smiled, she was very quiet and polite, at least more polite than Jiang Ning, and she always greeted him warmly when she saw her.

Aunt Wang took good care of Jiang Ning. The couriers that were usually inconvenient to pick up were piled up in the supermarket, and they would move them upstairs when he was free. At this time, he could only listen to her babble.

"I was hit by a car, and I was out of breath when I got to the hospital. It was said that the blood was gone. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and her father almost didn't follow."

Jiang Ning listened with lowered eyes, and a woman with a haggard face walked in outside. Aunt Wang quickly stopped talking, and talked to the man with a smile, "Here you are, have you eaten?" Aunt Wang has a habit of meeting people at mealtime I just like to ask this question, which is similar to how others say hello to each other, but it is obviously a bit strange to ask if you have eaten at this time. They were embarrassed, and the two neighbors who were sitting and chatting greeted each other and left.

Jiang Ning raised his eyes and glanced quickly, then lowered his head again.

Li Ma also saw Jiang Ning, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red.Some time ago, Aunt Wang had quietly mentioned Jiang Ning to her, probably because old people like to match up young people, saying that she lives on the fifth floor and Jiang Ning lives on the sixth floor, one family has a beautiful girl, and the other has a handsome young man. Together, that is a destiny destined by God.

Aunt Wang runs a small supermarket, and every day her parents gossip, she knows a little about everyone's affairs, and she speaks very carefully, "His parents have passed away a long time ago, and now working in the shop left by his grandfather is considered a skill. It's just that I don't like to talk, but there are advantages to not being talkative, people can live a good life honestly, and I don't have parents, so I happen to be close to my father-in-law's family."

At that time, Mama Li thought it was ridiculous. She knew about Jiang Ning's family, not to mention that her girl was only a sophomore when she started school. If you draw one in your class, they are all college students.

But... her daughter is gone in less than half a month, and they are all the drivers of the gods, why doesn't he die!

"After eating, his father felt uncomfortable, and he didn't eat well at night. This will make his stomach feel uncomfortable. I thought about making him a bowl of noodles." Li Ma barely managed a few words, took a handful of dried noodles from the shelf, Throw down the change and walk back.

Li's mother is a very strong woman, and the men and children in the family are also competitive, and she always looks like a superior person outside.Many people can't understand her and talk behind her back, Mama Li never takes it to heart, and even tells her family that it's a mediocrity not to be envied by others.But since her daughter had an accident, she was completely crushed, and there were buzzing noises in her head.

"Their old Li's family must have had no good deeds in their previous life, and in this life they have no son, not to mention even the girl died."

"When the girl from the Li family was admitted to university, she was very proud of her mother. There were more than 20 tables for the school entrance banquet, and all the old ladies from the supermarket downstairs invited them."

"Isn't it? You go to someone's house to buy things twice, and they have to come to give you a gift. This is really a big loss."

"I'm angry when I see her so frightened, don't you feel so frightened now?"

Li's mother staggered in a trance, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and her tears couldn't stop streaming down.Wuwu cried twice before remembering that it was outside, the more it was at this time, the less people would see the joke, so she wiped her tears and looked around, only to see Jiang Ning walking behind her with downcast eyes.

Li Ma didn't want people to see her like this, so she quickened her pace, and when she reached the door of the house, she put her hand in her pocket and didn't touch the key for a long time.

There was no elevator in their old-style residential complex, and they had to climb several floors. Jiang Ning saw Li's mother standing at the door of the house looking for keys, and her steps were slightly out, walking upstairs against the handrail of the stairs.

"Do I have an infectious disease? Do I need to stay so far away?" All kinds of unsatisfactory feelings came to my heart, and Li's mother exploded, "I don't even say a word when we meet, dumb, you, the young people nowadays Is this virtuous? In the end, it is because my parents died long ago and have no education, they can’t go to school, and they will be a coolie for the rest of their lives.”

Jiang Ning was standing on the steps leading to the sixth floor, when he heard this, he frowned slightly and looked over.

It was a pair of pitch-black eyes with long and thick eyelashes, which drooped again after only looking at her for a moment.

The harsh words got stuck in her throat, and Li's mother turned around awkwardly and continued to look for the key. Li's father heard his wife's voice and rushed to open the door, afraid that she would be in a bad mood and quarrel with the neighbors.

"What's the matter, you can be heard in the whole corridor." Li's father was a sincere person, and hurriedly pulled his wife into the house.

Jiang Ning's steps upstairs suddenly stopped, and he turned around, "Auntie..." His voice was not loud, clear and cold, but every word was clear, "If your daughter sees you like this, will you sad."

In Mama Li's impression, Jiang Ning is like an autistic child who never speaks proactively. When we met in the community, it was her daughter who greeted them first, and he would reply with a few words.I didn't expect that for such a quiet person, a sentence would stab into the hearts of the couple like a knife, and the eyes of both of them were wet in an instant.

Father Li came back to his senses first, and quickly bowed slightly to Jiang Ning, "Son, I'm sorry, you know the situation in our family, your aunt is in a bad mood, you must not be like her."

"It's okay." Jiang Ning went downstairs unexpectedly, came to Father Li and patted him on the arm, "My condolences."

Father Li watched Jiang Ning turn around in a daze, and complained to his wife when he heard the door closing upstairs, "What a good child, you can't just swear at others when you are in a bad mood, and you swear so badly. His parents left early, and his heart Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Li's mother also knew that she did not behave properly today, so she didn't reply, she just kept crying, crying until Li's father lost his temper, and in turn comforted his wife a few words, took the dried noodles in her hand and turned around, suddenly the whole body All froze.

After going through this journey, Jiang Ning was not in a good mood, so he casually nestled in the sofa and lit a cigarette.

The TV at home is not turned off. When grandpa is around, he likes to sit in this position and listen to the news. Although he is gone, Jiang Ning is still used to turning the TV to Central 1 during this time period.

When his grandfather brought him to study in Yunshan City, he was afraid that people around him would look at him strangely, so he made up a story about his parents passing away unexpectedly and living with his grandfather alone. In fact, he had never met his parents... Maybe it was just like that , he will take care of this nosy business.

Jiang Ning was fascinated by the standard Mandarin of the hostess on the TV, and the plain and unfeeling words came to his ears intermittently: In recent years, the birth rate has been decreasing year by year, and the governments of various countries have introduced various newborn subsidy policies, which are still not effective solve this puzzle. The world will enter an aging population in 20XX. In order to alleviate this unoptimistic international situation, my country will soon introduce a new policy of maternity subsidies...

In order to encourage childbirth, women can enjoy maternity leave from the time of pregnancy. The time limit is 24 weeks, during which they will receive half salary, and the salary cost will be borne by the state... 8 weeks after pregnancy will be paid leave... The government will set up a babysitting center, half pay Child care center... The state gives childcare allowance for the second child and housing allowance for the third child.In the future, preschool education for young children will also be included in the scope of compulsory education...

Jiang Ning got up late the next day.

I woke up in the middle of the night when I was bitten by mosquitoes, only to find that the mosquito repellent incense was not powered on. I tossed and turned for three or four hours until the outside quietened down and it was dawn before continuing to sleep.After waking up without energy, he sat on the bed and hugged the quilt in a daze for a while, until a light and shadow flashed in front of his eyes, Jiang Ning made a quick move like lightning, and sandwiched the thing between his fingers.

Just a piece of paper, so spiritual?Jiang Ning once again unfolded the admission notice that had been "entangled" with him, looked at it, and took a steel coin to press it.Notice began to struggle unceasingly, but he couldn't break free, and after a while, there was no movement.

Jiang Ning washed up casually and planned to go to the shop to have breakfast, when the knock on the door rang, and after hearing it rang three or four times, Jiang Ning was sure it wasn't the next door, and opened the door halfway in doubt.

Seeing that it was a child who opened the door, Liu Qi tentatively asked, "Is it Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Ning glanced at the other party, lowered his head, and nodded slightly.

"Great, is your grandpa home?"

Liu Qi is a man in his 60s, with an amiable face, a height of about 1.7 meters and a straight body. He is obviously very happy when he knows that he has found the right place.

"Uncle Liu, please come in!" Jiang Ning recognized him. He used to live in a town. He heard that he had made money by opening a factory.

"You can still recognize my uncle. He was only this big when he was in Yunding." Liu Qi stretched out his hand and gestured for the height of a six or seven-year-old child, "In a blink of an eye, hehe, he looks so tall."

Liu Qi seemed to be gossiping with a few homely words, but he praised Jiang Ning without saying anything, praising him for being young, handsome and promising.Jiang Ning listened silently, knowing that he was begging his grandfather for something, he poured a cup of tea for the other party apologetically, and took the initiative to bring the topic to Jiang Yunting, "My grandfather passed away for more than a year."

Liu Qi's hands that took the tea were stiff, and then he continued to ask: "I heard that the old man has always been in good health, how many years has it been?"

The corners of Jiang Ning's lips were slightly pursed, his eyes were lowered and he didn't speak, obviously he didn't want to talk about this topic.

Liu Qi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and apologized again and again, his originally happy expression was put away, and he was obviously absent-minded when he spoke again.

What he asked for was in vain, and he was leaving.Jiang Jing took a sip of tea quietly, waiting for Liu Qi to leave and go to have breakfast, but unexpectedly there was another knock on the door.

Jiang Ning usually lives alone, the last time he knocked on the door was the day he received the admission notice...

At dawn, Li's mother went to the market to buy pork ribs and put them in a pressure cooker to suffocate. She usually knew when Jiang Ning would leave the house, but she was still afraid that he would leave early due to something, so she listened with her ears open.

When Liu Qi entered Jiang Ning's house, Mama Li hurriedly poured the meat into a small basin.

"It's inconvenient to have guests at home, isn't it?"

"We have a guest, we just want to eat together, hurry up."

Father Li had no choice but to stand at someone's door knocking on the door with a pot of meat in his hand and a bag of fruit in his hand.

As soon as Jiang Ning opened the door, Father Li hurriedly handed over the small basin, "Your aunt went to the market early to buy the pork ribs. The meat is fresh. I washed it several times with clean water to ensure it is clean and safe to eat. I don't know what fruit you like to eat. I picked two imported ones, so don’t dislike them.” Before Jiang Ning reached out to pick them up, Father Li remembered that the small pot of meat was still hot, so he took it back quickly, “It’s still hot, I’ll bring it to your room. Go ahead, don't pick up."

Father Li walked in while talking. He was wearing house slippers. He took off the slippers when he entered the door. He was wearing socks and stepped on the floor of Jiang Ning's house. He put ribs and fruits on the tea table and did not forget to sit with him. Liu Qi who was on the sofa nodded.

"Uncle..." Jiang Ning has a cold temper, seldom gets close to people, and is a little uncomfortable with Li's father's enthusiasm, "You...too polite."

Father Li was afraid of disturbing Jiang Ning, so he put down his things and went out, and apologized to Jiang Ning in a low voice, "Yesterday it was your aunt who was wrong, and she couldn't help it if she wanted to come and apologize to you. Don't worry about us living upstairs and downstairs. Come on. Thank you so much yesterday for allowing us husband and wife to meet..."

"Uncle..." Jiang Ning interrupted Father Li, frowned slightly, "Just pretend it's nothing!"

Father Li glanced in Liu Qi's direction, and hurriedly agreed, "Hey, uncle knows." He couldn't help holding Jiang Ning's hand, "You are such a good boy, uncle and aunt thank you."

Jiang Ning sent Father Li away and turned back, Liu Qizheng looked at him with bright eyes, "Xiao Ning, you learned a lot from your grandfather in the town before, now that you've grown up so much, you're better than before, right?"

Liu Qi heard that Jiang's family moved to this community, but he didn't know the specific one, so he found it after a lot of asking in the breakfast shop and supermarket downstairs.Seeing Li's father coming to thank him at this meeting, he remembered the gossip he heard when he was inquiring about things before, and the more he thought about Jiang Ning's situation in the town, the more excited he became.Yin and Yang eyes!How could he forget this.

Learned a lot?It's really polite to say that in the past, the two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, were often squeezed out in the town. No one in the town would play with him, and the adults were not willing to let Jiang Ning go to their house, just like what Mama Li said In that way, it seems that he has an infectious disease on his body, and as long as he gets close to him, he will get an incurable disease.

Jiang Ning didn't feel comfortable living there, and Jiang Yunting hoped that he could go to a better school, so they left the town and came to the city.

Jiang Ning could guess why Liu Qi came here, so he didn't intend to take care of it, "Uncle Liu, what age is it now, the feudal superstitions of the older generation should have been buried in the ground long ago. Ever since my great-grandfather, there has been a lot of care for my family. Don't mention these things in the future." Jiang Ning once heard from his grandfather that in that special era, Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa were often beaten and scolded for it.

Liu Qi was choked by Jiang Ning, and immediately put on a bitter face, "Uncle can't help it, the child of a relative's family is only twelve, and he has chest tightness all day long, and he has visited all hospitals, big and small, and he has no money. Shaohua didn’t find out what’s wrong with her. At first, she was asked to see the neurology department, and later she was asked to see the psychology department. These uncles didn’t understand, and they just saw the child getting worse and worse, and the whole family was helpless.”

"The child is too pitiful. Uncle doesn't ask for anything else. Just take a look and see if there is any unclean thing entangled. We will find another way for the rest. Can you think about it?" Liu Qi went to Jiang Ning's side After making it together, it seems that Jiang Ning will not give up if he doesn't agree, "Uncle came here by car, and I will pull you over to have a look, and then send you back. I will definitely not delay your business."

Jiang Ning pursed his lips, Liu Qi suddenly remembered, and took out a wad of money from his handbag, "Uncle knows that you have rules and you can't show them for nothing, you keep the money."

Jiang Ning sneered in his heart, he didn't do this business either, it's a fart.

Seeing that he was not moved, Liu Qi thickened the stack of money, "Xiao Ning, uncle knows you have this ability, so you should help uncle."

Liu Qi looked at Jiang Ning eagerly. Jiang Ning finally let go when he thought of the 400 yuan left in WeChat, "I'll take a look first."

"Okay, okay, no matter what, the money is yours. If you have a way to deal with it, the child's family will definitely have more thanks."
