Chapter 11: smash the gun
On the second day of the new year, Jiang Nuan's parents were busy preparing for lunch early, because Lu Ran's parents were coming to the door.
Jiang Nuan was sleeping soundly. He read the "Pirate Luffy" that Lu Ran left behind last night and saw it faster, and didn't mean to wake up at all.
But it didn't take long for my mother to get it up.
"Hey! My little ancestor, why don't you get up yet! Your Uncle Lu and Aunt Yuan are here, so is Lu Ran, get up quickly!"
Jiang Nuan still had great respect for Uncle Lu, the old friend of his father's former rival, and she got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and came to the living room, squinting her eyes and smiling at the Lu couple: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Yuan, Happy New Year!"
"Well, Xiao Nuan is really good!" Aunt Yuan pulled Jiang Nuan in front of her. From Lu Ran, she could tell that his mother was definitely a beauty.
"I just got up at ten o'clock. It's really good, little pig." Lu Ran's voice rose, and those eyes looked at her.
"If you are a little pig like Xiao Nuan, I also think you are cute." After speaking, Aunt Yuan gave Jiang Nuan a red envelope, "A happy and peaceful New Year, learning and progress."
"Thank you, Auntie Yuan!"
Before Jiang Nuan stuffed the red envelope into her pocket, Lu Ran's hand fell in front of her.
"Why?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"If you want to be safe and happy in the new year, you must rely on me to learn and progress. Don't you need to pay?"
"Cut!" Jiang Nuan shook his head and left.
It happened that Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran's father wanted to drink some rice wine, so he sent them both out to buy wine.
The jar of yellow wine had a bit of weight. After Jiang Nuan gave the money, he thought Lu Ran would take it, but who knew that Lu Ran stood there with his pockets in his pocket and didn't mean to reach out.
Jiang Nuan pouted, "Can't you just move it?"
"Do you know what it looks like from the back when you carry the wine?"
"Like what?" Jiang Nuan felt that it was definitely not a good word.
"Polar bear cubs, so I decided to watch Animal World a little more in the back."
"…"
Don't you just say I'm fat! Say I'm swollen!
Jiang Nuan held the jar of wine and walked in front angrily.
I didn't think you were that annoying until yesterday!
Lu Ran followed slowly.
After hugging for a long time, Jiang Nuan's arm was a little sore, the wine didn't sink, the wine jar was really sinking.
"Jiang Nuan!"
Lu Ran's voice sounded from above her head. As soon as she looked up, she saw several people riding motorcycles roaring past the roadside, making arrogant noises. Her shoulders were buckled and they were taken away.
The wine jar smashed to the ground. The motorcycle team of the junior middle school youths left without caring.
Sadness welled up in my heart - Omg, that long stretch of road was holding it in vain!
"Don't you look at the road? I'm not so lucky every time..." Halfway through Lu Ran's words, it was as if the cracked bottle was suddenly closed again.
Jiang Nuan looked up, but Lu Ran's eyes let her know that she scared him just now.
And many years later, when she grew up, she realized that Lu Ran's "I'm not so lucky every time" means "I'm worried that I won't be by your side every time you're in danger".
"Then you'll be fine with wine!" Jiang Nuan replied unhappily.
"You wait here, I'll go back and buy wine." Lu Ran said.
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Nuan felt a lot better.
At least Lu Ran has to hold the big wine jar all the way.
Seeing that Lu Ran was far away, Jiang Nuan, who was bored of waiting, ran to the fireworks shop by the roadside and bought some gadgets.
As soon as Jiang Nuan came out of the store, he saw Lu Ran walking away with a bottle of wine.
Jiang Nuan squinted and stared at his hand until he walked in front of him.
"Hey! Why did you buy the bottled one!"
"It's all flower carvings, and it's all the same in their mouths. Do you really think they'll taste it carefully?"
Lu Ran carried the wine and continued to walk forward.
Jiang Nuan's heart was unhappy.
Can the flower carving of a glass bottle feel as good as being poured out of a wine jar?
Lu Ran is taking chances! This is cheating!
The more Jiang Nuan thought about it, the more angry she became. If Lu Ran bought wine like this, then what was it that she hugged her all the way just now!
They entered the yard and happened to pass Aunt Chen's downstairs.
Aunt Chen lives on the first floor and brings her own small yard.
She kept a litter of chickens in the yard, cooing.
Jiang Nuan squinted his eyes and smirked—Lu Ran, aren't you a serious baby?
She took out the throwing gun she just bought from her pocket and threw it into Aunt Chen's yard.
There was a "bang-" sound on the ground, and the chickens in the cage screamed hoarsely, fluttering so much that their feathers flew.
"Who kills a thousand knives - little bastard!"
Aunt Chen roared, pushed open the yard door and rushed out, only to see Lu Ran standing at the door with wine.
As for Jiang Nuan, he had long run away, stuck his head out from the corner of the yard, glanced at Lu Ran smugly, and retracted again.
"Hey, Lu Ran, why are you? Did you see anyone throwing cannons into my yard?" When Aunt Chen saw Lu Ran, her anger was half gone.
Lu Ran raised his chin and hinted at the corner of the yard, but Jiang Nuan pricked up his ears and wanted to hear Lu Ran's rebuttal seriously.
"Isn't it Jiang Nuan? That little thing likes to do bad things since she was a child! In the past, the grape vines grew out of my place, and she took away all the grapes that had just grown! When she was a child, she also loved to follow the little ones in the courtyard. Throwing a cannonball in my yard!" Aunt Chen patted Lu Ran on the shoulder with a worried look, "Aren't you scared? Did it blow you up?"
"No. Aunt Chen, I'm going up to eat."
"Oh, well, you go, you go!"
Jiang Nuan, who was nestled in the corner, was very angry.
What's the logic of this Aunt Chen? When she opened the door and saw Lu Ran outside, she didn't even doubt Lu Ran?
This Aunt Chen has no normal logic at all!
Lu Ran didn't wait for Jiang Nuan, and entered the unit door by himself.
Jiang Nuan stared at her head for a long time, and when she saw Aunt Chen entered the yard, she rushed back to her unit.
Who knew that although Aunt Chen entered the yard, she was watching from the window: "Jiang Nuan—it's really you!"
For fear that Lu Ran would go back and sue her about the black state first, she must follow in Lu Ran's footsteps.
When Lu Ran pressed the doorbell, Jiang Nuan rushed behind him.
Luo Chen opened the door for them and took the wine.
"You two are back! The food is ready, come in quickly."
Jiang Huai and Lu Jinfeng also walked in. Jiang Huai picked up the bottle of wine that Lu Ran bought, and said with a smile, "Is this what Lu Ran bought?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Jiang Nuan was just about to say that Lu Ran bought a glass bottle to save energy.
"I usually drink 68 yuan a jar of wine. Uncle Lu, you have to drink this kind of 108 wine. Isn't Lu Ran the only one who can buy it? ."
"Ah? Isn't the jar more expensive?" Jiang Nuan was a little stunned.
So, Lu Ran wasn't trying to save energy, but the bottle he chose was better?
Lu Jinfeng came over and patted Jiang Nuan on the shoulder: "The wine still depends on the year."
It's not red wine, what year is it? Also drawing 1852!
The point is that Lu Ran clearly knows what their father likes to drink, so why didn't she say it when she was holding that big jar all the way!
No, why didn't she say it when she chose this jar of wine!
This is like two people writing papers together. Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan in order to save effort. As a result, just after two steps, he realized that Jiang Nuan had made a mistake, so he didn't tell Jiang Nuan, he made the correct answer and handed in the paper, and also Got the teacher's praise!
You are not angry!
When it came to dinner, Jiang Nuan didn't want to talk to Lu Ran at all. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. Jiang Huai and Lu Jinfeng recalled the prosperous years of the past, and it seemed that they did not know each other, and even their mother laughed happily.
"Xiao Nuan, I haven't seen you eat a few bites of so many dishes! This Babao chicken made by your mother is my favorite!" Lu Ran's mother signaled that her son should get along with Jiang Nuan.
Lu Ran picked up the chicken wings of Babao Chicken and put it in Jiang Nuan's bowl. He lowered his voice and said in a serious tone, "This chicken should have never been frightened by a cannonball before it was sacrificed."
There was such a plain and upright expression on his face.
"You like throwing guns so much, do you want me to invite you to eat?" Jiang Nuan asked in a low voice.
"Ah? What throwing guns?"
Jiang Nuan turned his face to stare at Lu Ran, warning him not to talk nonsense.
Lu Ran lowered his head and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
At this time, the phone rang, Jiang Nuan's mother got up to answer the phone, and then kept apologizing. When she returned to the dining table, she looked at Jiang Nuan with her arms crossed.
"Well, Mom... what's wrong?"
"Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan, you really don't fight for a day, you go to the house to uncover the tiles!" Luo Chen frowned, "Why are you using the cannon to scare the chickens raised by Aunt Chen!"
Jiang Nuan froze, but she didn't expect Aunt Chen to call their house.
"She didn't see it with her own eyes..." Jiang Nuan knew that what she was doing was definitely wrong, but Aunt Chen completely believed that Lu Ran didn't fry her chicken, and she was sure just by seeing her running out of the corner of the yard It's her, very annoying.
"Chen's Aunt Chen said she saw you, why did she frame you for the New Year?" Luo Chen was actually not angry.
This second half sentence made Jiang Nuan suddenly sad.
"When will you be as sensible as Lu Ran? Studying is not as good as others, and you won't be considerate of your parents, and you have to cause trouble..."
Before Jiang Huai's words were finished, Lu Ran, who had not spoken, said, "Uncle, Jiang Nuan is very good."
"What is she like?" Jiang Huai shook his head helplessly.
"I don't want to eat it."
Jiang Nuan was about to get up, but Jiang Huai stopped her.
"Okay! It's just a small matter! There are still guests! Don't be too self-willed, you child!"
Yes, it's really just a small thing.
But she has lived for so many years and has never experienced a big storm, so small things are big things for her.
Moreover, she always felt that Lu Ran had a lofty and unshakable position in her parents' hearts. And she, Jiang Nuan, seems to be born for comparison and reference.
"Dad, if one day the teacher said that I was talking to my classmate in class, would you believe it? Do you believe it if someone said I couldn't get into college? Some people even said that I didn't have the speed, explosiveness, and skills. If you can't practice fencing well, you won't let me touch it for the rest of your life? Anyway, because Lu Ran has good grades and good academic performance, he is a model and a template! You all recognize and praise! I don't have good grades, I do it Is nothing to believe in?"
Jiang Nuan stood there, looking at Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was stunned. He never expected that one day his daughter would ask him these questions, like a complaint.
"Xiao Nuan, how are you talking to your parents?" Luo Chen wanted to pull her down and sit down.
But I don't know why, when my mother said that when Lu Ran saw her throwing a cannonball, Jiang Nuan wanted her to ask her, "Did you really throw a cannonball?"
Even if her mother knew her too well, she moved her **** to know whether she was going to the bathroom or the kitchen to find food, she still hoped that she would ask her, instead of assuming what she did from other people's words.
"I don't know how to talk to you, so you will listen to what I say. My father said that I won't let me practice fencing, okay... Because I'm not as good at studying as Lu Ran, and if I get distracted, I won't be able to go to college. Yes. When the arts and sciences were divided into classes, you said that the liberal arts had narrow career choices. My father dreamed of going to university for engineering, and my mother studied medicine. Who cares how hard I struggle? Whoever thought that there are only ten majors in liberal arts, I can study ten, and I can't do one hundred majors in science!"
