Chapter 346: The Preserved Vegetable Incident

Su Ning's roommate Liao Weimin did not return to school until just before lights out. Looking at his unsatisfied expression, Su Ning also found it very funny.

"Changyi, look what goodies I brought you?"

"What?" Su Ning put down the book out of courtesy and looked over with curiosity.

Su Ning has always been a workaholic at school. Seeing him put down his books, Liao Weimin was also very excited, "Dangdangdangdang!"

"What the hell is this?" Seeing Liao Weimin take out a can of black stuff, Suning showed a look of disgust.

"Humph! You Shandong guy, you don't know what's good. This is Hunan's famous grandma's dish."

"What? This is grandma's pickle?" Of course, Suning had heard of this kind of pickled vegetable in later generations, but he didn't expect that it already existed in the 1970s, and it would look like this.

“Wei Min, are you sure this is grandma’s dish and not someone tricked you into doing it?”

"How is that possible? If you don't believe me, try it yourself!" Liao Weimin angrily handed over a pair of chopsticks, wanting to prove his own "cleverness" with actions.

Suning took the chopsticks curiously and picked up a small piece of black stuff from the jar. It looked like pickled mustard greens. Then he tasted it carefully. It felt like ordinary pickled mustard greens and did not have the classic qualities of grandma's dishes in later generations.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Seeing that Suning didn't spit it out directly, Liao Weimin thought it was delicious. In fact, he didn't know that Suning just cherished the food.

"Weimin, I also have a kind of grandma's dish here. Although it is also made with pickled mustard greens, the taste is different."

"Impossible! You haven't left the school since the start of the semester. Where did grandma's food come from?"

"Haha, don't you know that a scholar can know everything about the world without leaving home?" Suning stood up and rummaged through his package. In fact, he took out a can of grandma's food from the future from the space. Of course, the packaging was torn off and all the information was erased. Suning wanted to do these things in a moment.

Seeing that Suning really took out a bottle of Grandma's Vegetables, and the outer packaging material was transparent plastic, and looking at the packaging material and the brightly colored Grandma's Vegetables inside, Liao Weimin was really stunned.

"Changyi, you really have it!" Liao Weimin couldn't hide his shock. After all, he had never seen Suning go out before. "It looks like your bottle of grandma's food is really high-end."

"Try it!" Suning Suning took it again and opened it directly, and then a strong fragrance came out. Then the other roommates also ran over and looked at the grandma's dish in Liao Weimin's hand and swallowed their saliva.

Liao Weimin sensibly shared it with all his roommates, and then there was a burst of intoxicated voices, "Hmm~~ It's so delicious! So fragrant!"

"Haha, this stuff is delicious when used to scramble eggs! It's also great with bacon!"

"Changyi, where did you get it?" another roommate, Sun Zhen, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Haha, this was given to me by someone else." Suning could only lie to cover up the lie, "I can't explain the details."

When everyone heard Suning say this, they knew it was impossible to know the purchase location, so they felt a little regretful. Suning could of course sense their disappointment.

Suning returned to his package again, took out nine more bottles of identical Waipocai, and handed them to his nine roommates.

"Everyone, we are all classmates because of fate. This is my welcome gift to you all."

"Ah? How can I be so embarrassed!" These guys said sorry, but they were not polite at all with their actions.

When Suning handed him a new bottle of Waipocai, Liao Weimin finally came to his senses. "Damn it! That guy must have cheated me with fake goods! I'll settle the score with him next time!"

"Haha, it's not necessarily a fake.

It's very likely that different people make it and it tastes different. It's just pickled vegetables, there's no unified production standard."

"But the taste is so different."

"I tasted your jar of grandma's vegetables just now. Although the taste isn't very good, it's made with pickled mustard greens. You can just mix the two types of grandma's vegetables together. Wouldn't that be the perfect solution?"

"Haha, Changyi, you're really smart!" Liao Weimin's anger turned into joy after hearing Su Ning's suggestion. "This top scorer in the college entrance examination is really smart!"

In the following days, because of the pickled mustard greens incident, the ten-person dormitory where Suning lived seemed much more harmonious, and everyone's eyes looking at Suning became much softer, without the initial mutual vigilance and caution.

The school often conducts live-fire shooting, and the students are undoubtedly the most excited. "Changyi, I'll let you see the charm of the gun god later."

"Gun God? You?" Su Ning looked at Liao Weimin beside him with amusement. "I don't think you've ever been in the military, right?"

"That's right! I've never been in the army, but my dad often takes me shooting!"

After hearing what Liao Weimin said, Suning understood everything. Jiang Defu made an exception and allowed Jiang Weiguo to practice target shooting because the place where Jiang Weiguo joined the army was too close to Zhenbao Island.

The first shooting session was conducted in dormitories, with each group consisting of ten people. When it was Suning's dormitory's turn, Liao Weimin was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

"Weimin, stay calm, and don't miss the target!"

"Tsk! My mop? Have you ever seen a gun master miss the target?"

Looking at Liao Weimin with a smug look on his face, Suning was ready to let him see what it meant that there are always people better than you, so that he could wake up.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

After five gunshots, the smoke cleared and the target announcers began to call out, "Sun Zhen, five shots hit the target, four rings, a total of 25 points."

"Liao Weimin, five shots on target, five rings, a total of thirty-nine points."

"Haha, not bad!" Liao Weimin looked indescribably proud, but he was soon slapped in the face.

"Jiang Changyi, five shots on target, five rings, fifty points in total."

"what?"

"Wow~~~"

All the students at the shooting range were shocked and turned their eyes to the top scorer in the college entrance examination again, but this time it was because of his shooting results.

"Hey! Xiao Liao, you should be humble!"

"."

In the 1970s and 1980s, students were required to develop moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor qualities, and Suning was definitely the best example. He was the best in every aspect of the school. His classmates all showed admiration for him, and the school leaders couldn't stop smiling.

"Student Jiang, it wasn't until I saw your shooting prowess at the shooting range today that I realized you were actually the top soldier in the military competition.

He is truly a genius in our school!"

"Haha, Principal, you are too kind."

"Student Jiang, your shooting skills are so good. How about I arrange for you to be the trainee shooting instructor for all the teachers and students in the school?" "Huh? I'm just a freshman. I'm not qualified enough, am I?"

"Haha, at our National University of Defense Technology, the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted.

You are absolutely qualified to be a shooting instructor, and the title of "apprentice" is also in front of it, so you won't be able to find fault with it."

"Yes! Principal! Mission accomplished!"

"Well! Go ahead!"

"Goodbye, Principal!"

Jiang Defu and An Jie brought their two daughters and all their belongings and stood on the ship. Looking at Jiang Dehua bidding farewell in tears on the dock, they both felt reluctant to let him go. It was not until then that they realized that this island carried too much joy for their family.

"Old Jiang, shouldn't we leave here?" An Jie looked at Jiang Defu reluctantly.

"Hey! There are not so many shoulds and shouldn'ts!" Jiang Defu really thought it was wrong, but he still didn't tell his wife and daughter what he was thinking.

"Ugh..." Jiang Dehua on the shore couldn't help but burst into tears. "My brother and sister-in-law left just like that. From now on, there will be no one to talk to on this island."

"Oh! Yes!" Old Ding also felt a little melancholy for a rare time. He was just worried whether the new leader would be easy to get along with. In any case, he would not take care of him like Jiang Defu did.

At this time, Suning, who was in Changsha, unexpectedly received two letters. One was from Li Qianqian in Ningbo, which was obviously written by her mother Jiang Hong. The other was actually sent by Jiang Yaning from Green Island.

Suning first opened Jiang Yaning's letter, and then he found out that Jiang Defu had been unexpectedly promoted and finally left the island where he had been trapped all his life. This made Suning extremely surprised.

Through the following content, Suning finally knew the cause and effect of the matter. It turned out that Li Zhicheng from Ningbo helped. Suning didn't know why Li Zhicheng suddenly took action. At the same time, Jiang Yaning did not say the reason in the letter. Suning thought that Jiang Yaning was also unclear.

Suning directly picked up a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote a reply to Jiang Yaning from Green Island, inviting them to come to Changsha when they have time, and taking them to eat the local delicacies. He also introduced the famous attractions and snacks in Changsha at that time. As for Jiang Defu and An Jie, Suning did not mention a word.

After writing the reply to Jiang Yaning of Ludao, Suning opened Li Qianqian's letter. Seeing that it was just a simple greeting, Suning always felt that something was wrong. Soon Suning realized that it might be because of the ghostwriting. This gave Suning the idea of learning Braille.

Braille is actually not difficult to learn. In the eyes of Suning, a super academic, it is nothing. He did not rush to reply to Li Qianqian, wanting to wait until he had learned Braille well before writing in Braille.

The next day, Suning mailed the reply letter to Ludao, and then took advantage of the break to go to the school library, where he found a large amount of Braille materials and began to learn. It only took Suning three days to learn how to write in Braille.

Suning first bought a Braille pen and a Braille board, and then began to write a reply letter to Li Qianqian, in which he described his life and experiences in Changsha, followed by a bunch of uncultured greetings.

Because Suning's letter was written in Braille, it was still very troublesome to mail it. After all, the National University of Defense Technology is a military school. Suning suddenly realized that this was really not cost-effective, so he simply planned to communicate with Li Qianqian using a recorder in the future.

Suning is really busy at school now, because besides studying he often has to help other students practice shooting. This is probably the legendary saying that those who are capable get more work.

On Green Island, Jiang Yaning, who had received Suning's letter, immediately opened it with surprise. Jiang Yafei also looked over curiously, "Yafei, big brother invited us to Changsha to play?"

"Tsk! I don't want to go to Changsha!" Jiang Yafei is still the king of tough talk. Things can be done, but they can never be said.

"Wow! There are so many delicious foods in Changsha!"

"Tsk! You're useless!" Jiang Yafei still expressed her disdain when she heard Jiang Yaning's loud cry of surprise.

Just then Jiang Defu came home from get off work and saw his two daughters reading a letter. "Yaning, who's the letter from?"

"My big brother! Changsha's big brother!"

"Oh? Show it to me!"

"Dad, I want to take advantage of the next summer vacation to go to Changsha to see my eldest brother, okay?"

"No!" Jiang Defu was a little unhappy when he saw that Suning didn't mention him at all in the letter, so the consequences were very serious.

"Humph! You're already a freshman in high school this year, and you'll be taking the college entrance exam in less than three years. How could I possibly have time for you to run around?"

"Dad, we're just going to Changsha for the summer vacation. It won't interfere with my studies."

Looking at his always well-behaved little daughter Jiang Yaning, Jiang Defu was a little conflicted. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a compromise. "You can go during the summer vacation, but you must rank third in your grade in the last final exam before the summer vacation."

"Yes! Dad!" Jiang Yaning's grades have always been among the best in the school, so he is very confident about Jiang Defu's requirements.

Looking at Jiang Yafei who had been silent beside him, Jiang Defu suddenly laughed, "Yafei, don't you want to go to Changsha to have a look?"

"No! Not interested!"

"Haha, good!" Jiang Defu was pleasantly surprised. "Our Yafei is really ambitious."

Li Qianqian and Jiang Hong from Ningbo also received Suning's letter very soon. When they found out that the letter was written in Braille, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh my god! Changyi learned Braille so quickly!"

"Mom, it's all your fault!" Li Qianqian was touched, but also a little worried about Su Ning. "If you knew, I wouldn't have written to him. This way, he wouldn't have missed out on his normal classes because of learning Braille."

"Ouch! Haha, are you starting to feel bad already?"

"Mom~~~~"

"Silly girl! Look at what Changyi wrote in Braille?"

Braille is actually just making a lot of dots on a Braille board with a Braille pen, and then the blind person touches the back to read the content. It is actually very tedious and troublesome.

"Mom, Brother Jiang has become a trainee shooting instructor at the school. He sent his regards to you and Dad. He said that writing in Braille is not only troublesome, but it will also cause unnecessary misunderstandings when the school checks the letters, so he plans to use a recorder next time. He will prepare a recorder."

"Recorder? Changyi is so smart, no wonder he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination." Jiang Hong couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Suning's arrangements and plans.

"Ok!"

"Xixi, it seems Changyi has feelings for you too, otherwise he wouldn't be so attentive!"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Qianqian blushed and complained to her mother, "Brother Jiang was just doing this to facilitate communication."

"Haha, you probably don't even believe what you said!"

"Mom, you're so bad! I'm ignoring you!"

Looking at her daughter who was in a state of arousal, Jiang Hong became more and more satisfied with Suning. Now that Li Zhicheng had dealt with Jiang Defu and An Jie, only Suning was left.
