Chapter 198 Escape

Chapter 198 Escape
It was almost seven o'clock when Feng Yu came back.

He looked depressed and seemed unhappy.

Jiang Ning asked her: "What's wrong? You don't seem happy?"

Feng Yu said: "I was taken advantage of by them."

Jiang Ning asked: "How did I use you?"

Feng Yu said: "After I went to Qi Ze, several people came to me and tried to play the emotional card on me, saying that I was from Qi Ze and asked me to care about the development of my hometown. Although they didn't say it explicitly, I knew what they wanted to say. They just wanted to persuade me to let you invest in Qi Ze."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think?"

Feng Yu said: "I'm just a teacher, I can't worry so much."

Jiang Ning said: "Then ignore them."

Feng Yu responded and picked up the little guy.

This is the first time I’ve been away from my daughter for such a long time, and I’m definitely worried.

I called a lot when I was in Nanazawa.

The little one can recognize her mother and can tell the difference between two mothers, one mother has milk and the other mother doesn't. However, Feng Xue takes care of her for no less time than Feng Yu does. Moreover, since Feng Yu started school, Feng Xue has been taking care of her during the day.

The little guy has long been used to it and doesn't cry.

But the little guy was still very happy to see his mother having milk to drink.

After calling for mom a few times, she sandwiched dad in again.

She kept calling out "Mom" and "Dad" over and over again, and her saliva was dripping.

Jiang Ning watched with interest, and didn't mind the little guy drooling.

Two hard kisses.

A few days later, just as Jiang's father and mother were preparing to fly to Australia.

The little guy actually stood up by himself by holding on to the fence beside the bed.

Feng Yu was playing with his mobile phone and took a picture of this scene.

Then I posted a message on WeChat Moments.

Australian schools are different from those in my hometown. They have four semesters a year.

Jiang Tingting was a transfer student and entered the kindergarten in the fourth semester.

School starts on October 9th, so you have to go there early to prepare.

Jiang Hua and Chen Huiru are not going because Jiang Ziwen is too young.

It is too troublesome to travel abroad with children.

We set off at ten in the morning and arrived at the community early.

The driver went upstairs, carried down two boxes and loaded them in the back.

Jiang Ning and Feng Yu came to see them off, but saw Jiang Hua hiding far away.

I didn’t dare get close to Jiang Ma.

Zhang Yulan was in a bad mood and her eyes were a little red.

Jiang Ning asked his mother, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yulan wiped her eyes and said, "I have raised my son and grandson, but my life is like that of an ox or a horse. It is not enough to be a cow mother at home. I have to go abroad to be an ox or a horse. Who do I owe this to? Why is my life so miserable?"

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why are you saying all this? How did my brother offend you? I will help you beat him up."

Zhang Yulan stopped crying immediately after hearing this. Her younger son kept his word and the older son definitely couldn't beat him. She just wanted to vent her bad mood and couldn't let the older son get beaten. She wiped her tears and said, "He didn't provoke me, I'm just in a bad mood."

Jiang Ning and Feng Yu looked at each other, both speechless.

They all knew that Jiang's father and mother didn't want to go to Australia. It was his brother and sister-in-law who took a lot of effort to persuade Jiang's mother before she agreed to go to Australia to take care of her eldest granddaughter's schooling. She was in a bad mood when she left, which was probably related to this matter.

No wonder Jiang Hua hid far away and didn't dare to come closer.

I guess he's afraid of getting hurt.

Quite a few people came to see him off, and all the relatives from both sides who could come came.

Elder aunt and younger aunt, elder aunt and younger aunt.

Of course my uncle and aunt came too.

All the people from the Jiang family came out, but none of them came up.

They are all waiting downstairs.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, it was almost time to leave.

After Jiang Ning urged him for the Nth time, he finally went downstairs.

Not only the Jiang family members were waiting downstairs, but also several middle-aged women from the neighborhood. They were all grandmothers who took care of the children at home. They were familiar with Jiang's mother and knew that she was going abroad today, so they came to see her off. There were also people from the property management and community.

Mother is more valuable than her son.

In the past two years, Zhang Yulan has successfully become a prominent figure in the community.

Even the community director has to call her Sister Zhang.

After wasting some time downstairs, the big bread finally set out.

Jiang Ning invited the relatives to go upstairs, but none of them went up.

We dispersed downstairs.

Feng Yu and Chen Huiru went upstairs and cleaned up the house.

Jiang Hua also went up to take a look and found that the power was off and the water was turned off.

All food and drinks were taken to Building No. 6, and the refrigerator was emptied.

Finally, throw away the trash, lock the door and leave.

Jiang Ning and Feng Yu also went to take a look at the house in Building No. 8. The house had not been lived in for years and the room was cold and deserted, but the flower pots on the windowsill were beautifully decorated, several potted plants were in bloom, and several large pots on the ground were full of water.

It is obvious that Mother Jiang takes good care of her.

What southerners worry about is that their houses will get moldy if they are not lived in for a long time.

People in the northwest are worried that the walls of their houses will crack if they are not lived in for a long time.

Too dry.

So if no one lives in the house, you should collect a few basins of water and place them in the living room or bedroom.

Let some moisture in the air to prevent the walls and wooden furniture from drying out.

Feng Yu walked around the room and said with emotion: "I didn't worry about these when my mother was here. Now that my parents are gone, I have to come over from time to time to water the flowers. No one cares about it, and it's troublesome to have too many houses."

Jiang Ning said: "Let my sister-in-law watch it."

Feng Yu shook his head and said nothing.

How can a sister-in-law and a mother-in-law be the same?

In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.

Jiang Ning did not reunite with his family at home, but went to Jicheng with his second uncle.

Participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

Originally, my uncle wanted to go too, but he had a bloated stomach and it was really inconvenient.

Only Jiang Ning and the second uncle can go on behalf of the Bei'an Jiang family.

Quite a few people came. The descendants of our ancestors have spread across the country, on both sides of the Yellow River, in Yunnan, Guizhou, western Sichuan, and even abroad. This year's ancestor worship was different from previous years. It was quite grand, and some related ethnic groups were specially invited.

It was lively for half a day.

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Jiang Xueyi. He remembered that when he met her at Yangcheng Airport, the girl said she was coming back. He hadn't seen her since then, so he asked Jiang Quanxing, "Why didn't I see Jiang Xueyi? I met her at Yangchang Airport a while ago and she said she was coming back?"

Jiang Quanxing said: "Xiaoxue has some problems and can't come back."

Jiang Ning noticed that he looked different and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Quanxing shook his head: "I'm not sure either."

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and followed him to visit the Jingxiang relatives.

Just returned to Bei'an after two busy days.

Winder called and it was done.

Jiang Ning flew to Africa instead of flying directly to Guangzhou.

Instead, I went to Shenzhen first.

My cousin Zhang Yulong ran away to Shenzhen, and I finally got in touch with my family recently.

I'm not sure what to do in Shenzhen, but my uncle and aunt want to go and see.

Since Zhang Yulong didn't want to go, his uncle Zhang Yuedong asked Jiang Ning to stop by and take a look.

Look at what he is doing, is he begging for food?
Jiang Ning made a phone call on the way to the provincial capital and the call went through.

"elder brother."

"Where are you?"

"Shencheng."

"I know you are in Shencheng, where exactly is it?"

"What about Luohu?"

"What are you doing in Deep City?"

"At work."

"What time can I get off work?"

"It's after ten o'clock at night."

"I'll be there this afternoon, send me your location."

Zhang Yulong exclaimed: "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ning said, "I'm changing planes in Yangcheng, so I'll stop by to see if you're begging in Shenzhen."

Zhang Yulong mumbled, "Don't come here."

"What?"

"I'm busy."

"What are you doing? Send me the location, or I'll ask someone to locate it."

Zhang Yulong had no choice but to agree.

He is not afraid of his parents, but he is a little afraid of his cousin.

He also knew that Jiang Ning was not trying to scare him, and that it would be easy to find him if he really wanted to.

I had to send a location.

Jiang Ning called and saw that the location of the message was a residential area.

How come my workplace is in a residential area?
Is this not a pyramid scheme?
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions. He would find out after going and taking a look.

I arrived in the provincial capital at noon and had a quick lunch at the airport. It was already past five when I arrived in Shenzhen. I took the car arranged by the airline to the location where Zhang Yulong had sent me. After wandering around for a long time, I finally found a hotel to stay in.

Give Zhang Yulong a call, he's still at work.

I don't get off work until after 10pm.

The location I posted before was where I rented a house.

Jiang Ning asked him to send his work location.

Zhang Yulong refused to send it.

It's no use letting him threaten or intimidate.

Jiang Ning became more and more curious and felt that this boy was up to no good.

Make a phone call and ask them to check Zhang Yulong's location.

After a while, the location was sent.

Jiang Ning opened it and saw that it was not far away.

Just two streets away is a duck blood vermicelli soup restaurant.

"You're not going to be serving dishes at the restaurant, are you?"

Jiang Ning's eyelids twitched, and he left the hotel and took a taxi.

This is an old street and a commercial area with a large flow of people.

It was dinner time and there were people everywhere, especially the restaurants were doing a booming business.

Jiang Ning stood on the roadside and looked at the yellow sign, which looked small. He went in and saw that the shop was less than 100 square meters.

But business was booming and the place was almost full.

There were a few people sitting in front of the cashier taking orders.

Jiang Ning stood at the back and took a look, and saw Zhang Yulong serving dishes.

After delivering the meal, Zhang Yulong turned around and saw him.

I thought I had seen it wrong, so I looked again.

That’s right.

His face suddenly froze.

After being stunned for a few seconds, she pretended not to know him and hurried to the kitchen.

Jiang Ning had a blank expression on his face; he actually guessed it right.

Sure enough, he was serving dishes.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall into a pyramid scheme.

Jiang Ning waited for a while, ordered a plate of duck blood vermicelli and a serving of pot stickers.

There were no empty tables, so I shared one with others.

The person sharing the table was a girl, it wasn't that he had any ideas.

But there were at least two people at all the other tables, and only one person was sitting at this table.

The girl looked up at him and continued playing with her phone.

Jiang Ning looked around for a while, waiting for his meal boredly.

During this period, Zhang Yulong came out to deliver food several times but never came to his side.

I didn't look in his direction either.

After waiting for a while, the ordered food was delivered.

The food was served quite quickly.

Jiang Ning likes delicious food, especially all kinds of special foods with different flavors.

He had never eaten this duck blood vermicelli, but after trying it, he found it okay.

The quantity is just too small, even with an extra portion of pot stickers.

For a big eater like him, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Not enough to eat at all.

After dinner, he didn't go to see Zhang Yulong and left first.

I was still hungry, so I walked around the neighborhood and found a Hunan restaurant. I ordered two dishes and ate three bowls of rice. After I was full, I went back to the hotel and waited. It was almost eleven o'clock when Zhang Yulong finally came over.

He looked dejected when he saw Jiang Ning.

It was as if his only self-esteem was torn to pieces and he was too ashamed to face anyone.

Jiang Ning asked him: "What do you think of serving dishes?"

Zhang Yulong hung his head: "I don't have any experience."

Jiang Ning said, "You don't want to take up a stable job and come to Shenzhen to serve dishes?"

Zhang Yulong said dryly: "That job is impossible to do."

Jiang Ning asked: "What about your wife? Are you not going to keep her anymore?"

Zhang Yulong sighed and said, "I don't want it anymore. Our values ​​are not on the same wavelength and we can't live together."

Jiang Ning was amused by what he heard: "Your worldviews are not on the same channel? Tell me what your worldviews are."

Zhang Yulong scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Ning hit the nail on the head: "Your values ​​are not on the same channel, what are you talking about? You just can't bear the hardships of life because you have never experienced the hardships of society. Before marriage, you knew nothing and didn't know what life was. After marriage, you found out that life is not about flowers and moonlight, nor is it about the beautiful scenery, but about firewood, rice, oil, salt and all kinds of endless trivial matters. You have no experience and no ability to deal with various family problems, so you choose to escape. Am I right?"

Zhang Yulong denied it weakly: "Of course not."

Jiang Ning asked: "What is that? Please explain it to me."

Zhang Yulong opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Jiang Ning said, "You have never suffered any loss since you were a child. You have made few mistakes and have been protected like a flower in a greenhouse. You cannot withstand the slightest storm. Escaping from reality is not a man's style. Since you are married, you have to face reality. If you really don't want to continue, go home and get a divorce, and make a clean break with the past. What's the point of running here and not going home?"

Zhang Yulong hung his head and said nothing.

Jiang Ning asked: "Why don't you let my uncle and aunt come over?"

Zhang Yulong said nothing.

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you think it's embarrassing to carry dishes?"

Zhang Yulong continued to remain silent.

Jiang Ning asked: "Tell me, what are you thinking? Are you going to keep avoiding it like this?"

"I didn't run away."

Zhang Yulong defended himself and said dryly, "I don't want to work anymore. I want to open my own store. I am doing this job to learn. When I learn it, I will start my own catering business."

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you think you have the ability to be a boss?"

Zhang Yulong was not convinced: "Why can't I?"

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you think you are more capable than my cousin Jiang Wei?"

Zhang Yulong tried to save his dignity by saying, "I am different from him."

"What's the difference?"

"It's just different. Shencheng and Bei'an are also different."

Jiang Ning did not attack him again and asked, "What about your wife? Are you just wasting your time on her now that you don't want her anymore?"

Zhang Yulong fell silent again.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and said, "Come on, take me to where you live."

Zhang Yulong stood up dejectedly and took him over.

Nine people rented a house. The living room was separated. Each person lived in an area the size of a tofu block. There was only a bed and a cloth wardrobe. The kitchen and bathroom were shared, and there was not even a place to sit.

The tenants are all young people, but they are very indifferent to each other.

He didn't even say hello when we met.

It seems as if life has drained all my energy away.

Zhang Yulong lives in a corner of the living room.

There was no place to put a lot of things, so they were piled on the suitcase.

Jiang Ning sat on the bed and asked, "How much is the rent for this house per month?"

Zhang Yulong said, "One thousand yuan."

"Who are the people living here?"

“I work nearby.”

"Just now I saw there was a woman there?"

"The two people living in the master bedroom are in love."

Jiang Ning asked: "Why do you come here to suffer instead of living in your new house? What do you think?"

Zhang Yulong fell silent again.

Jiang Ning sat there for less than three minutes before getting up and going downstairs.

It's too cramped.

The place is not even as big as his bed at home, so he can't sit still.

Zhang Yulong also followed.

Jiang Ning said, "Don't send me off. Go back to sleep. Some things cannot be avoided. Go home as soon as possible and take Yao Lili home. If you really don't want to live with her anymore, then go back and get a divorce. Don't drag it out like diarrhea."

Zhang Yulong lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything else to him and walked out of the community.

Go back to the hotel and call my uncle back.

I explained the situation and sent the location to my uncle.

After a night's sleep, I got up early the next day and went to Guangzhou.

I took the morning flight to Ethiopia.

It was very boring on the plane. I lost interest after playing a few rounds of stupid games. I didn't want to watch a movie either. I flipped through the magazines provided on the plane, but they were boring, so I picked up a copy of The New York Times and started reading.

There was a young flight attendant in the first class cabin, probably in her twenties.

The service was also very attentive, and they would come over from time to time to ask Jiang Ning what he wanted to drink.

After coming here for the Nth time.

Jiang Ning put down the newspaper, sat up and said, "I'm not thirsty, and I don't want to drink anything. If I want to drink, I'll ask you for it. But I do want to chat with you. I wonder if you flight attendants are allowed to chat with passengers."

The girl squatted on the ground and said, "Of course you can. You are our most distinguished platinum card customer. It is my duty to provide you with the best service I can, including answering your questions."

Jiang Ning asked: "Then can you stand up and talk?"

The girl replied: "No, we have service standards."

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you know the meaning of civilization?"

The girl was a little confused: "Please give me some advice."

Jiang Ning said, "The meaning of civilization lies in respecting personality. I am sitting on the sofa and you are squatting on the floor. We are talking like this. Do you think this is respect for your personality?"

Girl: "..."

Jiang Ning said: "So you stand up and talk, okay?"

The girl smiled reluctantly: "I can't stand and talk to you."

Jiang Ning didn't force it: "Okay then, I respect your attitude towards work."

The girl smiled more naturally: "Thank you for your understanding."

Jiang Ning said, "You're welcome. Actually, I want to complain about your airline. Customers are the top priority. There's nothing wrong with providing first-class service to customers, but it shouldn't be done at the expense of employees' personalities. Foreign airlines also provide very good service, but their flight attendants never squat on the ground to talk to customers like you do. Do you think I'm right?"

The girl didn't dare to answer.

Jiang Ning didn't embarrass her and changed the subject: "How many years have you been flying?"

The girl smiled again: "Almost four years."

Jiang Ning said: "You've worked really hard to get into first class in just four years."

"Thank you for the compliment."

“How many years have you been flying to Africa?”

“This is my third time flying to Africa.”

"how do you feel?"

"pretty good."

“Only fly this route?”

“Yes, do you work in Africa?”

"Yes, I work as a security guard in Africa."

"You're joking."

"Why, I don't look like a security guard?"

"Of course not. How could a successful person like you be a security guard?"

"My clothes are not expensive and I don't wear a watch. How can I look like a successful person?"

"Our airline's platinum card customers are all successful people from all walks of life, and you are certainly a successful person too."

"If you say so, then consider me a successful person."

"What do you do for a living?"

"I plan to recruit soldiers and horses, and gather a group of people to seize a mountain and become a local emperor."

"You're joking."

"I mean it……"
