Chapter 219 Not enough to eat

Jiang Ning doesn't smoke, he seldom smokes.

Lu Jingwei lit one himself and started puffing away.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "I remember you don't smoke."

Lu Jingwei said: "I have been having trouble sleeping lately, so I smoke a couple of cigarettes occasionally."

Jiang Ning picked up the teacup, blew away the tea foam, took a sip, put it down and asked, "How did you get into a car accident? Was it an accident? Or did someone use this method to warn you, or simply intended to kill you?"

Lu Jingwei said: "Don't talk about conspiracy theories, I think it was just an accident."

Jiang Ning asked: "Then why did you call me back?"

Lu Jingwei said: "The county's debt is too heavy. Can the farm start financing?"

Jiang Ning asked: "How do you want to blend in?"

Lu Jingwei said: "Let's do an assessment to see how much it can be valued. I plan to sell a portion of my shares to settle some bank debts. Otherwise, the finances won't be able to afford it. All the money I make throughout the year will be used to pay the interest."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I'll arrange it when I get back."

Lu Jingwei asked: "How much do you think can be assessed?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Twenty million trees alone are worth 10 billion, but the bank may not be willing to convert debt into equity."

Lu Jingwei said: "We have to talk about it to find out."

Jiang Ning asked: "How much debt is there?"

Lu Jingwei said, "More than 2 billion, and I'll give you the office building, and we'll settle the account."

Jiang Ning asked: "So urgent?"

Lu Jingwei nodded and said nothing.

Jiang Ning took the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Lu Jingwei said: "It's not true, don't make random guesses."

The two chatted for half an hour and dinner was ready.

Luo Bing invited the two to eat, and Lu Hang also came out of the bedroom.

He helped his mother bring out the food and set the table with chopsticks.

Dinner was simple, with four stir-fried dishes.

But the quantity was large, obviously specially prepared for Jiang Ning.

I also cooked a full pot of rice in the largest rice cooker.

Jiang Ning and Lu Jingwei came to the table and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there enough food?"

Luo Bing smiled and said, "That's enough. I know you have a big appetite, so you can eat without worry."

Jiang Ning was relieved, so he didn't hesitate and ate to his heart's content.

Lu Jingwei's family of three all eat rice with small meals.

Luo Bing filled a large bowl for him, the kind that could hold three bowls.

Eating and chatting.

Jiang Ning observed carefully and found that there was nothing unusual about Luo Bing.

But there was worry hidden in his eyes.

Lu Hang was the most obvious, his worries were almost written on his face.

After all, we are young and can’t hide our thoughts.

Luo Bing noticed that he was observing her, so she started a conversation: "What's going on between you and Feng Xue?"

Jiang Ning was surprised: "My sister-in-law also knows?"

Luo Bing smiled and said, "I heard it from Old Lu."

The corners of Lu Jingwei's mouth twitched. How could he ask such a question directly?

It seems like I am also gossipy.

I should have known better and kept silent when I got home.

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Jingwei and asked, "Who told you that, boss?"

Lu Jingwei was a little embarrassed: "The secretary said so."

Jiang Ning was speechless: "Has it spread throughout the county?"

Lu Jingwei nodded.

Lu Hang looked at his parents suspiciously, then at Jiang Ning.

He was completely confused by what the three of them were talking about.

Jiang Ning understood. Old Lu and Luo Bing had obviously avoided Lu Hang when gossiping about him. The boy didn't know this, so he said, "It's a long story. Feng Xue doesn't plan to get married, but Feng Yu..."

"Cough cough!"

Luo Bing quickly coughed twice and winked at him.

I just wanted to divert attention.

I didn't expect him to say it.

How could I say such a thing in front of my son?

We must not teach minors bad things.

Jiang Ning won’t say anything more.

Lu Hang couldn't help asking, "Dad, Mom, what did you talk to Uncle Jiang about?"

Lu Jingwei said, "Don't ask about adults' affairs."

Lu Hang uttered an "oh" and ate his meal sullenly with his head down.

After dinner and chatting for a while, it was already dark.

Jiang Ning asked Lu Hang to accompany him for a walk, and Lu Hang asked his parents for permission.

"Go!"

Luo Bing agreed, so Lu Hang put on his shoes and followed him out.

Just arrived downstairs.

The boy couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Jiang, what kind of riddle are you and your parents playing?"

Jiang Ning asked him: "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Hang nodded repeatedly, everyone loves gossip.

He is certainly no exception.

I just heard something and it seems like Uncle Jiang and my sister-in-law have a story.

How can this not make people curious.

Jiang Ning flicked his head and said, "Children should not ask about adult matters."

Lu Hang covered his head and protested: "I'm already eighteen, I'm not a child anymore."

Jiang Ning put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Tell me first whether you are in love or not."

Lu Hang immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't have a relationship in high school."

"Are there any girls you like?"

"No."

"Bullshit, every young man doesn't have spring in his heart."

"Really do not have."

Lu Hang has a clear goal: "My goal is to go to Tsinghua University, so I won't consider those things for now."

Jiang Ning clicked his tongue twice: "Is the college entrance examination coming up this year? Can I pass it?"

Lu Hang was full of confidence: "Of course, I got first place in the whole school in this mock exam."

"amazing!"

Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up and was really envious.

Who said he was a poor student?

Lu Hang still didn't give up: "Uncle Jiang, is there something going on between you and Aunt Feng Yu's sister?"

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Hang nodded quickly.

Jiang Ning said: "I won't tell you."

Lu Hang was depressed: "You can't do this."

Jiang Ning said, "Why are you curious about adult matters? Since your parents don't let you know, there must be a reason. Don't ask too much. Tell me about your father. Is there anything going on in your family recently?"

Lu Hang was a little hesitant.

Jiang Ning said: "Is there something wrong? Tell me."

Lu Hang hesitated for a long time. He probably felt like he had been holding it in for too long and wanted to talk to someone, so he told him, "A few days ago, I heard my mom calling my dad. She said someone called and threatened her."

Jiang Ning asked: "How did you threaten me?"

Lu Hang shook his head: "My mother didn't tell me, so I don't know either."

"anything else?"

Jiang Ning said: "Tell me everything you know."

Lu Hang was worried: "I secretly listened to my mother's phone call to my father. It seems that he offended someone. I don't know anything else. I only know that my father has been under a lot of pressure recently. He often can't sleep at night and gets up to smoke."

"Has your dad said anything to you recently?"

“He asked me what I wanted to do in the future.”

"That's it?"

"My dad never asked me this before. Every time I talked to him, he always made demands on me and asked me to be a valuable person. He never asked me what I wanted to do. But after the car accident, he asked me what I wanted to do. I found it strange."

"Why do you think your dad asked you this?"

"I do not know either."

Lu Hang was a little confused as he was still a student.

My experience and knowledge are very limited, so I can't think too much.

Jiang Ning asked for a long time and found that this kid really didn't know much.

Had to give up.

After leaving the community, the two went to the night market behind.

There is an alley next to the community. Walking out of the alley, there is a night market behind. There are many people setting up stalls, and it is quite lively.

Lu Hang obviously comes here often and knows quite a few people here.

I walked to a kebab stall and saw that the owner was a woman in her thirties.

He looks a bit old, with traces of life all over his face.

Business was slow, not a single customer.

The woman was holding a baby of five or six months old, with a stroller next to her.

Seeing Lu Hang coming over, the woman even smiled and said hello: "Lu Hang, come out and walk around with your classmates!"

Lu Hang paused and replied, "Sister Liu, she's not my classmate, she's my dad's friend."

The woman was a little surprised. She glanced at Jiang Ning and said, "Your father is such a good person. His friend must be a good person too."

Lu Hang nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Jiang is indeed a good man."

Jiang Ning: "..."

The woman asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Lu Hang shook his head: "No, we just had dinner and came out for a walk."

The woman said yes.

Lu Hang was preparing to leave.

Jiang Ning said, "Have some skewers. I'm a little hungry."

Lu Hang was surprised: "You're not full?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Your pot is too small."

Lu Hang's expression was wonderful: "Then you told my mother that you were full."

Jiang Ning asked, "Should I say I'm not full and ask your mother to cook for me again?"

Lu Hang: “…”

The woman quickly greeted him: "Pick something to eat, and I'll grill it for you."

Jiang Ning took some skewers and asked the woman to grill them for him.

The woman quickly put the child in the stroller and grilled kebabs for him.

The two found a table and sat down, chatting while waiting.

The skewers were not ready yet when the child in the stroller suddenly started crying.

When Lu Hang heard this, he hurried over to help the woman coax the child.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt that Old Lu was not suitable to be an official.

Adapt to teaching and educating.

Being able to teach his son so well, he must be a good teacher.

The woman said as she was busy, "Just sit down and ignore her."

Lu Hang said, "Sister Liu, is there something wrong with the child crying all the time?"

The woman said, "Maybe she peed. Please sit down and I will change her diaper later."

Lu Hang said: "Let me help you change it. When will you be done?"

The woman quickly said, "Don't change it, you don't know how to do this, just sit down!"

Lu Hang didn't listen to her because there were clean diapers in the stroller.

I took one and prepared to change it for my child.

But he had never done this job before and didn't know how to start.

Jiang Ning looked over, took the diaper and said, "Let me do it. Can you do this?"

Lu Hang scratched his head and said, "I really can't do that. Has Uncle Jiang ever done it?"

Jiang Ning said: "Nonsense, I have a child too, how could I not have one?"

Lu Hang said: "I saw the video taken by Aunt Feng Yu. Uncle Jiang's daughter is so cute."

"That is!"

Jiang Ning felt a little proud; he liked to hear these words.

He likes to hear anything that praises his daughter.

It's still a bit cool at night.

Jiang Ning lifted the quilt and touched it, and found that the little guy had indeed peed.

But what they used were not diapers, but pads made of gauze.

There is also a diaper pad outside to prevent your pants from getting wet.

I changed the diaper and put on a diaper pad.

The child is still crying.

Jiang Ning wrapped the baby in a quilt, carried him out, and patted him to comfort him.

The little guy stopped crying and looked at him, biting his fingers.

Lu Hang was surprised: "Uncle Jiang can take care of children?"

Jiang Ning said: "I also have a daughter. Is it strange that I would take care of a child?"

Lu Hang said: "My dad said that you travel around the world all day long. You didn't even spend the Spring Festival in Bei'an, and you couldn't stay at home for a few days. Aunt Feng Yu and Aunt Feng Xue took care of the children. You definitely didn't take care of the children for a few days."

Jiang Ning said: "You are wrong. No matter how busy I am, I will take care of the children as long as I am at home."

Although the woman was busy, her eyes were always here.

Especially after Jiang Ning replaced the child.

The video barely ever transferred.

It seemed as if she was afraid that Jiang Ning was a human trafficker and ran away with her child.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning and Lu Hang found a table and sat down that they felt relieved.

Boss Lu’s friend is definitely not a bad person.

The skewers are ready.

The woman put the food on a plate and handed it over to Jiang Ning, then took the baby from his hands.

Thank you very much.

The skewers are not grilled, but squeezed, which is a bit greasy.

Jiang Ning took a skewer of crispy chicken and tried one, and it tasted pretty good.

After wandering around for a few months, I found everything in my hometown delicious.

Lu Hang didn't want to eat at first, but he couldn't help it when he saw him eating alone.

I took a string of enoki mushrooms and started eating them.

The woman sat aside holding the child and asked Jiang Ning: "Do you also work in the company?"

"no!"

Jiang Ning said: "I am a farmer."

The woman was stunned.

Lu Hang quickly said, "Uncle Jiang is the big boss. He built the largest farm in Bei'an."

The woman was a little surprised, because she knew the farm in Bei'an.

CCTV was reporting on it a while ago!

I have seen it several times while watching short videos, and it is said to be the largest single farm in the country.

The boss is so young.

Jiang Ning asked her: "Why are you alone with your child at the stall? Where are the rest of the family?"

The woman was a little sad: "My father-in-law died early, my mother-in-law is paralyzed, and my husband is working away from home."

Jiang Ning said, "Your situation is difficult. Doesn't your husband earn enough? Why do you still bring your children out to set up a stall?"

The woman said: "He didn't have a penny. He went to Africa to work with someone last November. I haven't heard from him since he left. He hasn't sent any money home, and I can't get in touch with him. I don't even know if he died out there."

Jiang Ning was stunned: "Which country in Africa did you go to?"

The woman shook her head. “I don’t know either.”

Lu Ban said, "Is there no cell phone signal over there?"

The woman said: "I just called home and my cell phone has signal."

Lu Hang didn't know what to say.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject: "Is business difficult?"

The woman looked worried: "Maybe my cooking skills are not good enough, not many people eat skewers."

Jiang Ning said, "Maybe it's because of the cold weather. Not many people eat skewers in this season. It will be better when the weather gets warmer."

The woman sighed and said nothing.

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and chatted with Lu Hang for a few words.

The whole plate of kebabs soon went into his stomach.

Finished the kebabs.

Jiang Ning asked: "How much?"

The woman hesitated and said, "Give me twenty dollars!"

Jiang Ning nodded, took out his mobile phone, scanned the code, and left with Lu Hang.

Lu Hang was very polite and greeted the woman before leaving.

The woman was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice whether the two had paid or not.

After a while, I suddenly heard the cell phone beeping.

WeChat notification indicated that 20,000 yuan had been received.

The woman was stunned and quickly took the phone to look at it.

The payment code received 20,000 yuan.

I quickly stood up and looked, and saw people coming and going in the night market.

There was no sign of Lu Hang.
