Chapter 4 Morning Run
At night, Jiang Nian took a shower, returned to his room, turned on the air conditioner and lay on the bed.
Click on the panel and smile first.
Although Jiang Nian's grades were average, as one of the main players of the school basketball team, he ran five kilometers silently for a whole semester in order to be able to play the whole game and show off.
5 kilometers in one breath, like drinking water.
His plan is to get up early tomorrow, run 5 kilometers first, then run 3 kilometers, and finally finish 2 kilometers. After all, he still understands the principle of "the first effort will weaken the second and the third will be exhausted".
After finishing the task, he took out his mobile phone and checked the balance of his bank card.
Money is the key to a man's courage. Jiang's family is not well off, and his grandfather was in poor health in the past few years. He borrowed a lot of money and just paid off his debts this year.
As a result, Jiang Nian’s pocket money would not be much, only three or four hundred at most a month.
After just one afternoon, there was an extra 1,000 yuan in the card. If I finish running 10 kilometers tomorrow, another 2,000 yuan will fall into my pocket, making a total of 3,000 yuan.
If you don't spend the money, it's useless to earn it. So he opened a shopping website called JD.com.
I am in my third year of high school, and even if the game company is covering it up, the money comes from a legitimate source. But in my parents' eyes, playing games to make money and delaying my studies is putting the cart before the horse.
Although there might be rounds of family trials ahead, Jiang Nian is thick-skinned and has nothing to say. Having said that, he might as well take this opportunity to make some purchases.
The most direct way for ordinary people to save money is to buy less clothes and shoes, save water and electricity, and do not buy home appliances, mobile phones, and electronic products unless they are broken.
The Jiang family is no exception. Mr. Jiang and his mother haven’t changed their cell phones, clothes, and shoes for two or three years. The TV and air conditioner at home are rarely turned on, and the water used to wash rice is used to flush the toilet.
Saving is a virtue, but this kind of saving is obviously just for saving money. There is no quality of life at all, it can only be said that we are living a life of tightening our belts.
Clothes are hard to buy, and he can’t afford mobile phones or home appliances, so he can only buy shoes.
Shoes are a necessity that you can wear for just a few dozen dollars, but there is a reason why they are expensive for hundreds of dollars. We walk every day, so a good pair of shoes is very important.
Jiang Nian first bought a pair of leather shoes for Lao Jiang for more than 500 yuan, and a pair of soft-soled sports shoes for his mother for more than 300 yuan. He also bought two pairs of shoes for himself for about 200 yuan.
After buying a set of combinations, the price dropped to 1,300.
I checked the balance, it was one hundred yuan.
Come on, go to sleep.
On the other side, the Jiang couple couldn't sleep.
The master bedroom was completely dark, and the couple were talking in bed. Some things that were not suitable to be said in front of the children during the day could be discussed at night after turning off the lights.
"Oh, in the blink of an eye I realized that the child has grown so big." Jiang Weizhen held the back of his head with both hands, lying on the bed and looking at the dark ceiling.
"They can all earn money now, and they even cook for us."
"It would be good if Jiang Nian knew a little more. You are sighing here." Li Hongmei rolled her eyes at her husband in the dark. "If I didn't punish him for three days, he would tear off the tiles on the roof."
"I just hope he can be more sensible so I can worry less in the future. Now I'm worried that his money is not legitimate, and he will go astray at such a young age."
"Not really. I know Xiaonian well. He knows his limits." Jiang Weizheng retracted his hand and frowned. "I checked that game company. It's quite big."
"I think it's OK to make a little money a month, just don't let him get too addicted."
The couple chatted for a while, but in the end they didn't come to any conclusion. Feeling sleepy, they went to bed thinking about going to work tomorrow.
The next day.
It was September, and the sky was just beginning to lighten at five o'clock in a small county town in the south.
Jiang Nian got up early and changed into sneakers. He subconsciously glanced at Xu Qianqian's house across the street. The door was closed. Uncle Xu was on a business trip and she was the only one at home.
Forget it, be kind and bring her some breakfast. It was a bit cold in the morning. He went downstairs in a short-sleeved quick-drying shirt, and his arms got goose bumps in the wind. What caught his eye was a not-so-bustling street and old self-built buildings.
"Grass."
At Nancheng Middle School, on the playground track, a figure was infinitely elongated in the morning light.
Jiang Nian was sweating profusely, his chest and back were soaked with sweat. Running was not strenuous, and the weather was not too hot in the morning, but if you run for a long time, you will definitely sweat.
After running five kilometers, Jiang Nian's phone buzzed. He raised his phone and saw that the reward had arrived.
"Hey! Here we are."
After receiving the 3 yuan, he unscrewed a bottle of water from his backpack and took a few sips. He then rested in the shade of the sycamore tree in the southwest corner, preparing to sprint another kilometers.
Soon, the three-kilometer and two-kilometer runs were completed.
"XX Bank received a transfer of RMB700RMB300RMB."
At this time, Jiang Nian was also a little out of breath. His whole body looked like he had just crawled out of the water, his hair on his forehead was separated, but his eyes were unusually clear.
Conservatively speaking, after a rest, I can still run 5 kilometers. Apart from being unable to get out of bed the next day, there are almost no sequelae.
For some reason, Jiang Nian was not at all resistant to leg training.
He didn't have any big ambitions. As a single, strong man, he had the same idea as Mr. Ji Xianlin when he was young: he only wanted more in his life.
It was a crisp autumn day, the sun had just risen, and the streets were warm and clear. The morning light shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees, and the Tyndall effect copied the shape of the light.
Jiang Nian held his bicycle and bought four breakfasts before eight o'clock.
The prices in the county town are relatively cheap. Shredded radish and vegetable buns are one dollar each, a cup of soy milk is one dollar, fried dough sticks are one dollar and fifty cents, and meat buns are one dollar and fifty cents.
"That's thirty in total. Take it."
Ding! "Paid."
"it is good."
Breakfast cost thirty yuan in total, a big bag full. Jiang Nian could eat four meat buns, two fried dough sticks, soy milk, and two or three vegetarian buns by himself.
The two thousand I just received, plus the 161 left over from yesterday, minus the thirty yuan for breakfast, there is a total of 2131 yuan left.
There are many people like Jiang Nian who carry big bags of breakfast, but they are all elderly people who go to bed early and get up early to buy breakfast for their children and grandchildren who go to work or school.
The wheels of the bicycle rolled over the dry road, and the boy's flying back was printed in the golden morning light.
With a creak and a sudden brake, Jiang Nian jumped out of the car.
I took a big bag of breakfast home and happened to see my mother Li Hongmei getting up. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were tired from getting up early. She seemed to be preparing to make breakfast.
Although prices in Zhennan County are already very cheap, it is still more cost-effective to make breakfast at home.
Four yuan worth of rice noodles, chopped chili peppers, green peppers, garlic and shallots, mixed with chili oil, peanuts, coriander, pickled beans, and a sauce that will fill you up.
The curtains in the living room were drawn and the light was dim.
Li Hongmei was wearing her curtain-like Mom-brand pajamas and slippers. She looked at her sweaty and smelly son who came in with a big bag of breakfast in his hand.
"Did you go get breakfast?"
"Yeah, I bought it while running this morning." Jiang Nian nodded and put a big bag of breakfast on the table. "Mom, you don't have to work so hard. I'll take care of breakfast from now on."
