Chapter 709 - 431 Harmonious Neighborhood Relations_2
So tonight’s dinner was especially bountiful, with Aunt Gu picking up basa fish, prawns, and squid, then adding lettuce, potatoes, and corn into the pot to cook it all up, spicy and full-flavored.
Especially the fish chunks, so tender and boneless, they were fantastic with each bite.
After school in the afternoon, Xue Chuchu came over to Tongtong’s house for dinner, where she unusually ate two bowls of rice.
Normally Xue Chuchu only ever ate one bowl at dinner, and that too at Tongtong’s house made her extremely shy.
But when Tongtong offered more rice, she couldn’t help but extend her empty bowl.
After eating, Xue Chuchu was taken by Tongtong to Jiang Ning’s room, using the excuse that she was too tired from playing all day, to enjoy his monitor.
Jiang Ning, meanwhile, was lying by himself at the swing, while Dongdong, after getting a thrashing from Uncle Zhang, was lying in bed tending to his injuries, temporarily unable to go out and stake claim to the swing.
In the summer evening, mosquitoes were plentiful, and Uncle Tang and the others trying to cool off at the doorway would occasionally slap at the mosquitoes.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning remembered how Xue Yuantong boasted in front of him,
declaring she had a unique physique that attracted mosquitoes to others but never to her, ever since she was a child.
