The weekend after Christmas.

At 8:30 in the morning, Ai Liang locked the door and prepared to go out for shopping.

Yesterday's meal consumed all the ingredients in the refrigerator, leaving only some **** and garlic.

Originally, there was not much stock left in the refrigerator, and it happened to be cleared to replenish stock.

Ye Qing and Yi Wenna next door started to get up and wash at five or six o'clock, getting ready to go out.

The two girls have probably been shopping for a while now.

Don't ask how you know.

Ye Qing's room and Ai Liang's room can chat face to face by opening the window, and it's a ghost if they can't hear any movement.

Last night, while Yi Wenna was asleep, Ye Qing asked Ai Liang on her mobile phone if she wanted to go out to play together today, but Ai Liang refused.

Where two girls want to visit, he is definitely not interested in a boy.

And besides purchasing ingredients, the books at home are also almost read.

Ai Liang plans to go to the bookstore after purchasing to see if there are any new publications.

Calculate the time and go downstairs to the bus station.

Thirty seconds later, a bus stopped in front of Ai Liang.

In fact, most of the people who live in the urban area of ​​Yalian directly order vegetable buns online.

While the development of science and technology facilitates people's lives, it also kicks some old habits out of the tide of the times.

There are very few people who are willing to go out to buy groceries in person.

Yalian has very strict management of online shopping for fresh ingredients. Anything that needs to be put on the Internet must be approved by multiple organizations.

It cannot be illegally genetically modified, and cannot contain pesticide residues. For ingredients that are close to the shelf life, discounts must be given according to the remaining shelf life, and the place of origin must be marked.

Every once in a while, there will be a special department to conduct surprise sampling surveys.

By the way, the genetically modified food here refers to the genetically modified food that is independently developed by informal channels and has not been tested for safety assessment.

Due to the stringent focus on food safety, many companies are opportunistic, using genetically modified means to increase the disease resistance and yield of vegetables and fruits, at least to make them look fresh.

It's not known what safety hazards there are.

If someone suffers physical damage due to online food shopping, depending on the degree of damage, not only the person in charge of the supplier will face a fixed-term prison sentence of 1 to 15 years, but even the department responsible for the sampling survey will be heavily fined.

These stringent regulations and strict implementation measures have greatly guaranteed food safety issues.

So people don't have to worry about what low-quality ingredients they will buy online.

After all, the annual expenditure of the Asian Union on people's livelihood accounts for 21% of the total annual gdp.

Regardless of Nevada City, people in other cities are doing quite well.

This can be seen from the free and undisciplined atmosphere of Qianhua City.

If people in an area are constantly running around for survival every day, they are so busy that they don’t touch the ground, and they are afraid of delaying time even when they get sick, it is absolutely impossible to have this kind of social atmosphere.

In addition, Qianhua City has been affected by Neihua City in recent years. Among all the cities in the Asian Union, the security environment is relatively poor.

In other cities, even if you never look for a job as an adult, you can live on public subsidies alone.

But these subsidies are not free.

Your bank account will be regulated by the Labor Department.

Daily expenses are limited to basic living expenses, that is, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Each related consumption cannot exceed the corresponding amount limit, and no luxury items other than necessities can be purchased.

For example, small items can be purchased, but each month cannot exceed 100 yuan, and the amount cannot be accumulated and retained until the next month.

You can buy more clothes, but you can't change more than three sets of clothes per season...

In today's materialistic society, this is extremely fatal.

After all, it is spending money to raise rice worms, and the relevant regulations are very detailed, and there is almost no place where you can take advantage of the loopholes.

When your purchasing power is clearly limited, you will find that what you want will suddenly increase, and you want everything you want.

Therefore, less than 10% of adult males in the local area choose to be rice bugs.

About one in every fifteen to twenty people.

Of course, this data is not fixed, and many people can't stand this kind of day when all consumption is subject to the supervision of the Labor Bureau, and choose to go out to find a job.

There are even fewer women, whose shopping desire is much stronger than that of men.

The screen came to the fresh market.

Most of the people who come to the fresh market at this time are housewives who want to save a fortune on transportation, and purchasers of restaurants.

The young Ai Liang appeared here, very conspicuous.

The reason why Ai Liang often goes out to buy groceries is firstly to pass the time and feel the breath of life, and secondly to remember her past life and retain some normal human habits.

After purchasing the ingredients to eat for a few days, Ai Liang handed over the ingredients to the logistics staff because he had to go to the bookstore to buy books next.

They will send these things to the storage point downstairs in Ai Liang before noon.

Just need to pay an extra courier fee.

On the way to the bookstore, Ai Liang meets a group of unexpected people.

"Ai Liang? Why are you alone?"

Chen Zili, Xu Tao, Peng Yuan, and another unknown classmate ran into Ai Liang head-on.

Although they were not very familiar with Ai Liang, they still greeted Ai Liang out of basic courtesy, including Peng Yuan who just came to report.

Ai Liang didn't expect that Peng Yuan would get acquainted with the people in his class so quickly, which was many times better than Chen Zili who could only talk to himself at the beginning.

"Is it weird that I'm alone?" Ai Liang said with a paralyzed face.

Chen Zili waved his hands and explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean...Ye Qing didn't come with you today?"

This question made Ai Liang even more speechless: "Is it normal for me to go out with her?"

Chen Zili scratched his head: "That's not what it means..."

"But yesterday wasn't Christmas, you should have spent it with Ye Qing, but today you are alone..." Chen Zili hesitated to speak.

To put it bluntly, this guy was just knocking around, asking himself if there was something unpleasant with Ye Qing yesterday, that's why he went out alone today.

After figuring out what Chen Zili wanted to express, Ai Liang pursed her lips and explained: "She and Yi Wenna went out to play early in the morning. They are not children, so should I follow?"

Chen Zili and the others were left speechless by Ai Liang's **** answer.

Brother, is this a question of whether children are children or not?

You are a titanium alloy straight man who is harder than a steel straight man!

But Xu Tao found key information from it: "I remember that Yi Wenna didn't seem to go back to the dormitory last night. Could it be that she was there last night..."

Although the management of Qianhua Experimental Middle School is loose, it is still necessary to report to the class monitor and dormitory management to explain the situation.

With Chen Zili in charge, it is not difficult for Xu Tao to know that Yi Wenna was not in the dormitory yesterday.

Ai Liang saw Xu Tao's concerns, and explained: "She ate dinner at my place yesterday, but after dinner, she went to Ye Qing's house to sleep."

Ai Liang deliberately omitted the part about Yi Wenna getting drunk.

Because it's meaningless to say it, and it will only increase Xu Tao's troubles.

Even if everyone is well aware of Ai Liang's hard-core straight masculinity, the fact that a girl gets drunk at a boy's house alone will arouse people's imagination.

What's more, yesterday was a festive day like Christmas.

Xu Tao forced a smile: "That's it."

Obviously, he still thinks that the person Yi Wenna likes is Ai Liang.

The only thing that comforts Xu Tao is that Ai Liang is not a scumbag, and he doesn't have much interest in Yi Wenna.

As long as Ai Liang maintains his image of a cool handsome guy, then he still has a chance.

After chatting for a while, they were about to say goodbye.

Peng Yuan spoke at this moment.

"Speaking of which, since Yi Wenna went out with Ye Qing, Ye Qing should have invited you before going out, right? Do you know where they went?"

Peng Yuan kept smiling and asked curiously.

Ai Liang turned to look at Peng Yuan: "Why do you ask this?"

Peng Yuan continued: "It's nothing, it's just that Xu Tao invited Yi Wenna yesterday, but she was rejected, so we think...you understand."

Xu Tao froze for a moment, looked at Peng Yuan with a frown, and then pointed the finger at Chen Zili: "Hey, Old Chen, why are you talking about everything?"

As soon as Chen Zili wanted to explain, Peng Yuan took the lead and said, "Haha, sorry, sorry, he didn't tell me this, but the night before yesterday, you chatted too loudly, and I can't help it."

Xu Tao immediately suppressed all the words in his throat.

Chen Zili was not in the boys' dormitory, and no one responded to his messages, so he could only make voice calls.

Animal friends among boys don't care about the timing. It's commonplace to pull people up for a walk in the middle of the night and shout out to surf the Internet.

Because it was Xu Tao himself who called in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams.

Knowing that he was wrong, he shut up and stopped questioning Chen Zili.

"So?" Ai Liang still looked neither salty nor bland.

"So can you tell us, where did Yi Wenna and the others go to play?" Peng Yuan touched his head and said with a hearty smile.

Hearing that Peng Yuan was helping him find out Yi Wenna's whereabouts, Xu Tao couldn't care less about getting angry.

He looked at Ai Liang expectantly, trying to learn Yi Wenna's whereabouts from Ai Liang.

"So why should I tell you?"

Ai Liang stated the question more bluntly: "Yi Wenna didn't tell you her whereabouts, which means she doesn't want you to know.

Besides, even if you know, what can you do? Are you going to bother them? What's the difference between that and a stalker. "

Xu Tao's face was turned green and pale by Ai Liang's calls.

He opened his mouth to argue: "I, I just..."

Ai Liang didn't give him a chance to speak: "If you like her, then why do you keep doing things she hates? Or do you mean that if you know where she is going, you can immediately make her like you?"

Ai Liang's words reminded Xu Tao of what happened at the Neihua City playground before, and he fell silent for a moment.

Peng Yuan didn't care about Ai Liang's questioning, he said with a relaxed expression: "But if you don't know the other party's movements, you don't even have a chance to develop a good impression?"

Seeing that Peng Yuan still refused to back down, Ai Liang spoke directly: "So why should I tell you? Are we familiar?"

Asking other people about a person's whereabouts because of hitting a wall in person, this kind of thing that is very common in student days, is a taboo thing in society.

Ai Liang is a very principled person, but also an adult.

His perspective on problems is completely different from that of students.

In the case of Yi Wenna's resistance, besides offending others, is there any benefit to Ai Liang by telling her whereabouts?

Have Peng Yuan and Xu Tao considered whether Ai Liang will be questioned after the incident is exposed?

No.

They only care about the present and don't think about the consequences at all.

The mentality of the students is that all the help from others to themselves is taken for granted.

It's even normal to sell the people who help you backhandedly.

Only Chen Zili, who was a little precocious, considered these problems and didn't take the initiative to speak up.

The word maturity does not refer to age, but the angle of looking at things and the means of handling affairs.

Perhaps some people will ridicule these behaviors and show disdain.

But this just proves that he is a fragile and naive person.

Because he couldn't even figure out that he was not qualified to make the rules of the game.

Not trying to change, just complaining about others and thinking of himself as noble, how smart can such a person be expected to be?

As for whether Ai Liang's words will make the relationship between classmates tense.

Ai Liang came to Qianhua Market because she just wanted to live a peaceful life, but she didn't really come to school.

All he cared about was those few people.

The relationship between classmates doesn't matter at all.

Ai Liang's sharp words put them in an awkward situation.

No matter when, few people would speak so bluntly.

Just as Chen Zili wanted to come out to smooth things over, Ai Liang said, "I have something to do next, excuse me."

After speaking, he passed several people and left without looking back, leaving only Chen Zili and his party standing still.

"Uh, Ai Liang's personality is like this. Although the words are a bit harsh, he is not a bad person in essence."

Chen Zili began to explain to Ai Liang: "Otherwise, the playground wouldn't help me and Xu Tao find excuses to get closer..."

"You don't feel comfortable if you don't scratch my wound, don't you?"

Xu Tao, who was behind Chen Zili, said quietly ~lightnovelpub.net~ He was scolded by Ai Liang in the first place, but now he has to be stabbed in the back by his teammates.

Xu Tao felt his heart was so tired: "Ai Liang is indeed not a bad person, but his personality is really unacceptable to ordinary people."

Peng Yuan looked at the direction where Ai Liang disappeared with great interest: "Really? I think this Ai Liang has quite a personality. In reality, this is the first time I have met such a person."

Xu Tao glanced at Peng Yuan: "Then your interest is really extraordinary."

Peng Yuan didn't refute, and asked with a hey smile: "Then why don't you go to the shopping mall today to see if you can "encounter" Yi Wenna?"

The big boy named Xu Tao fell silent again.
