Chapter 240 End of vacation

On the sixth, they continued to gather together to eliminate their homework, and Chen Ziyi more or less recovered her spirit and would pick up Cheng Ming’s words, spit them out, and occasionally fight.

When Cheng Ming trolled her, she didn’t directly kick and hit Cheng Ming, but took Jing Jing’s arm and said pitifully, “Jing Yi, Cheng Ming always bullies me.”

“Ming!”

It’s back. It’s all back.

It’s not all back yet, but it’s kinda nice to keep this distance for now.

If Chen Ziyi before she went to the provincial city, she would probably directly serve Cheng Ming with her iron fist.

On the 7th, homework was all tackled yesterday and today is the final day off.

Cheng Ming had no intention of going out and planned to watch a whole day’s movie at home with him, but he didn’t expect an unexpected guest.

“When I was about to go out, Zhang Jiajia came to find me to play, and I said I would come to your house, so I ended up coming along.” Lin Jingyi explained with an embarrassed look on her face.

In fact, she had thought about whether or not to call Cheng Ming to inform him.

But she had already gone downstairs, and between hesitations, she was dragged away by Zhang Jiajia.

“Cheng Ming, it’s been a long time, your face stinks, you don’t want to see me that much?”

“No no, just a little surprised how you came to visit the humble abode.”

Zhang Jiajia as one of Jing Jing’s true eyes, Cheng Ming couldn’t even wait to please her.

There was no thought of turning Zhang Jiajia, and she could only hope that she wouldn’t add to the truth.

“You’re still shabby here, then where I live is a dog house, I didn’t realize your new home was so big.”

“Just moved this year.”

“Aren’t your parents home?”

“They don’t live over here?”

“Clam?” Zhang Jiajia asked, confused.

“They live in the home I used to live in, and over here it’s just me and my sister, Xu Juan and a friend of mine’s sister, and Xu Juan’s mom comes by every other day to check on our little group of kids.”

“Eh? You guys do realize you’re still just kids, and you’re the only man ……”

Zhang Jiajia clutched her head as her common sense and three views received a huge shock.

“Our family is in a unique situation that can’t be explained in a few words.”

Mom doesn’t want to come and live in the new home, and the home over there can’t accommodate so many people, and mom and dad don’t sleep in the same bed, so it’s a delicate relationship.

Cheng Ming wouldn’t be able to sleep over there anyway, not to mention the fact that he’ll be adding at least one more family member next year, which will make it even more crowded.

When Cheng Ming briefly explained the reason to Zhang Jiajia, Chen Ziye also arrived at Cheng Ming’s house.

The crowd gathered around a table to make small talk, especially the four female high school students sticking close together.

Well, Xu Juan is basically a spectator and only says a few words when asked.

Cheng Li just sat in Cheng Ming’s arms playing with Cheng Ming’s fingers, and the two siblings basically didn’t speak.

Cheng Ming was the one who was snatched up as soon as he spoke, and Cheng Li wasn’t interested at all.

“Have you guys finished your homework?” Zhang Jiajia suddenly asked.

Only then did Cheng Ming notice the cloth bag she was carrying.

“Of course I’ve finished writing, you’re not here to copy your homework, are you?” Cheng Ming, who had caught the opportunity, asked teasingly.

“I just came to ask you guys some questions I didn’t understand.”

After lunch, Zhang Jiajia still had no intention of leaving.

Cheng Ming did not make a fool of himself, instead of soaking in the pile of women, it would be better to go to the Internet cafe to go in style.

If he’s alone with someone, he can do whatever he wants, and when the numbers are high and they get together, it’s all bondage.

Not to mention the existence of Zhang Jiajia, a girl with no goodwill, Cheng Ming was even more unable to do anything.

The road to the harem is a long one, but it’s more important than anything that we all get along.

Cheng Ming hadn’t shown up at the Datang Internet Cafe for the entire long vacation, and Wang Hao was really here.

Cheng Ming was still a little worried about whether Wang Hao’s life trajectory would be skewed by himself; he stayed in the Internet cafe much more than in his previous life, and he didn’t have a part-time job in the cafe.

If the midterm exam, Wang Hao’s grades weren’t very good, Cheng Ming would tell Xiao Ma to come to the Internet cafe less often.

If Wang Hao’s visit to the Internet cafe is exposed, Cheng Ming will have no good fruit to eat, and his excuses for going out can be, “Cheng Ming and I will go to the library and to the Xinhua Bookstore.” This kind of ah.

“You and Zhao Lei went to the province to play? Why don’t you ask me to join you, how is the internet cafe in the province? Will the computer configuration be better?”

“Who goes on a trip and goes to an internet cafe!”

Don’t say, there really is, Zhao Lei is not back yet, this time should be in the car.

“But the internet is faster in the province.”

Although it was a joke years later that the high school entrance exams just determined which city you played the game in, and the internet was faster in the big cities.

But without thinking about schools and majors, it’s not bad to choose a city you like as a future location for long-term work and living.

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true, the infrastructure in big cities is better, new things are used first in big cities, I still have internet friends who are from Mordor, and that internet is so fast it’s flying.”

“I’m planning on going to college in Mordor later, what about you?”

“I’ll just go to Mordor too.”

“The scores of the universities in Magic City are not low, are you sure? Although those kind of schools with lower scores are also there la, but since we’re going to that city we can’t let others look down on us, at least we have to go to a major university.”

This should also be the minimum requirement that Jing has for herself.

Seeing that it was almost time, Cheng Ming left the internet cafe and headed to Mingxi Village to look for Xiao Ren and buy some groceries on the way.

Zhao Lei just came back from the field, let him run back and forth to pick up and drop off Xiao Ren, it is not enough, the time is not necessarily in time, if you do not catch up with Xiao Ren’s self-study night will be bad.

The sun is setting in the west.

The golden rice is laid out to dry on gabion mats and imitation linen woven cloths. Most of the floors in the countryside are uneven and dirty, so you can’t be as casual as drying briquettes, and you have to prevent chickens and ducks from stealing them.

With the exception of the village head and another almost rural self-built house whose roof and outside of the yard had been smoothed with cement paste, everyone else had to lay down a layer of mats to dry the paddy so as not to make it too dirty and add to their workload when blowing the paddy.

Cheng Ming and Xiao Ren worked together, using a columbarium rake to gather up the rice that had been sunning outside.

Considering the high probability of a sunny day tomorrow, there’s no need to bother with bagging the paddy and moving it to a sheltered spot.

Roll up the drying mat, drape it in a tarp to keep it from getting damp, press it against a rock to keep it from blowing away, and call it a day.

Cheng Ming and Xiao Ren were both made to itch by the rice mango, letting Xiao Ren go to take a bath first, Cheng Ming washed one and went to prepare dinner.

Only halfway through the meal did Zhao Lei wind up back at home.

Cheng Ming joked, “Zhao Lei, if you’re any later you’ll have to eat leftovers.”

Looking at Zhao Ren as she put on her school uniform and backpack.

Zhao Lei wolfed down his rice and ate it, not even pinching the food, and stood up.

Cheng Ming pressed Zhao Lei’s shoulder to make him sit down and said, “You rest, eat slowly, I’ll send her to school, you have to go to class tomorrow as well, you’re tired from the long journey, so take a good rest after a bath at night, or spend more time with your grandpa, Xiao Ren, let’s go.”

“Good.”

“Bye brother, grandpa.”

Tonight, in a rare move, Dad stayed in front of the TV, drinking draft beer, peeling peanuts, and watching the live sports channel.

Normally, Dad would have been nagged by Mom for this gesture.

But not today, Mom sat quietly and helped him peel the peanuts.

The Wulihe Stadium is playing host to a crucial game, and the national soccer team can get out of the tournament with a win.

There was no deviation from the history Cheng Ming knew so well, as Yu Genwei’s goal sent the national soccer team to the World Cup.

The country was abuzz, as it would be years later with an esports win, and the men’s dormitory building at the university was a sensation, causing a ruckus until lights out, when the hostel manager stepped in to calm the situation.

Dad also picked up the phone and kept talking.

“Have you been watching TV? National Football League ……”

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

For the next three years, everything still looked good, with a runner-up finish in the Asian Cup on home soil and good results from the junior and youth teams. Until there was the black whistle incident and the g7 revolution that popped the balloon.

The youth system is also gradually showing signs of collapse, with results deteriorating.

Looking at his dad’s ambition to build a soccer stadium, Cheng Ming will help him appropriately.
