After getting off at the county station, he bought a ticket to the city directly at the ticket office. There was a train at 7:30. After buying the ticket, Zhou Xiang didn't dare to buy food. It cost him 30 cents to get from the town to the county, and 80 cents to get to the city. Fortunately, he coaxed his father to borrow one dollar.

At this time, there is no distinction between student tickets. If an adult brings a child around ten years old, the child does not need to buy a ticket as long as the child does not occupy a seat. However, if the child is alone, the child must buy a full ticket.

There was only ninety cents left, what if I needed it? Zhou Xiang was very hungry, so he hid in a secluded place and took out a peach to eat.

When Zhou Xiang returned to the waiting room, a fat man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old sniffed everywhere, moving while sniffing, and finally came to Zhou Xiang's side.

"Little sister, is there any fruit in your schoolbag?"

Zhou Xiangxiang tried to cover his schoolbag, but then he remembered that it was empty, and if he covered it, his secret would be exposed.

He turned his head and looked at the fat man and said, "Uncle, I don't understand what you are saying!"

Zhou Yizhou was stunned by the "grandfather" call and almost spit out blood. Was he really that old? He was only 26, and he was already a "grandfather"?

"Hey, little sister really loves to joke around. Call me brother, I'm only 26 years old."

"I'm only ten years old. You're old enough to be my father."

Zhou Yizhou choked, then smiled and said, "Calling me brother is more intimate. I'm not married yet. When I get married, you can call me uncle."

Zhou Xiang thought this fat guy was quite interesting and had a good personality. "Okay, big brother, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Hey, hey, I smell peaches, and they're strongest around you."

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"How do you know? Can you tell fortunes?"

Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes. "You were born in 1958, the year of the dog. You're 27, and you're still pretending to be young."

"No, I'm twenty-six. I was born in 1959, in the first month of the year. My mom insisted I was a dog, but I think I should be a pig."

Zhou wanted to ignore him. The lunar and solar calendars of Long Kingdom were too complicated, and he really had no idea what his zodiac sign was.

"Little sister, please don't be silent. I really smell the scent of peaches. I'll give you money to buy them. How much do you think they are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiang looked him up and down. He was dressed nicely, made of good material, with big leather shoes, and his hair was shiny with hair wax. Well, it was confirmed that he was a wealthy man.

"It's winter now."

"One dollar each."

"Peaches bloom in spring and bear fruit in summer."

"One dollar and fifty cents each."

"I'll take him to see someone."

"Two dollars each."

"Can I buy a suitable gift for visiting people for two dollars?"

"Two dollars and fifty cents each." Zhou Xiaozhou gritted his teeth and fought for the food.

Zhou Xiang saw that it was almost done and asked, "How many do you want?"

"How many do you have?"

Zhou Xiang looked at him and said, "Turn around. Let me see how many are left in your bag."

Although Zhou Yizhou thought this statement was strange, the little girl's mood was up and down, so it was better for her to be obedient.

Zhou Xiang saw him turn his head, open his schoolbag, and reach in. In an instant, four big peaches appeared in the schoolbag.

"Well, all right, turn around, there are four more big ones."

Zhou Yizhou quickly took out a ten-yuan bill and said, "Here, I want them all."

Zhou wanted to put the money away. He was really rich. Ten yuan! The largest banknote at present, he gave it away casually. Ten yuan now is more valuable than a hundred yuan in the future.

Zhou Xiang handed the peaches to him one by one. When Zhou Yizhou saw such big peaches, he thought that two dollars and fifty cents each was not expensive. The largest peaches in spring and summer were only two-thirds the size of this peach.

"Little sister, will you be scolded when you go home?" Taozi is so nice, I wonder if the adults in her family have any special arrangements.

"No, don't worry." Zhou Xiang felt that this fat man was a good person.

The fat man picked up a big peach and started eating it without even washing it, but it was indeed not dirty.

“Mmm, delicious!”

No wonder he is so fat, he has a good appetite!

It was time to check tickets for the bus to the city, and Zhou wanted to stand up and go to the ticket gate.

Zhou Yizhou also stood up to check his ticket. "Little sister, are you going to the city alone?"

"Yeah! Why? Can't I?"

"No, no, I just wonder how your family can be at ease?"

"What's there to worry about? The adults are all busy. I've been traveling by car since I was five or six. I'm the one who delivers anything that needs to be sent to my grandparents. I'm very familiar with it."

Zhou Yizhou stopped talking. Not everyone lives as well as his family.

You don't have to sit by seat on the bus, you can sit anywhere as long as there is an empty seat. Zhou Yizhou was worried about the little girl, so he sat next to Zhou Xiang.

Only after sitting down did I remember how big I was. "Did I squeeze you?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head: "No, I'm so thin and you're so fat, it's just right for us to sit together." He is a fat man with a kind heart and pure mind.

Zhou Yizhou asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid, you're just a little fat, you're not a bad person."

"Well, that's good, that's good. My name is Zhou Yizhou, what's yours?"

"My name is Zhou Xiang."

"Huh? We have the same surname. We were probably one family five hundred years ago."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "That's right! Then when I meet you again from now on, I will just call you Big Brother. Even if you get married, I won't call you Uncle anymore."

Zhou Yizhou laughed, "Okay, I have a ten-year-old little sister now."

Zhou Xiang saw that he still looked good when he smiled, so he said, "Why don't you lose weight? Being fat affects your appearance."

"My family says being fat is a blessing, but I weigh 200 pounds and they still won't let me lose weight."

Zhou Xiang guessed that it was because of the times. There were too many thin people in this era, and the skinny ones were ugly. Many people thought that fat people were round and looked blessed.

"Then you should eat more vegetables and fruits, eat more fish, and avoid fatty meat and offal. Being fat doesn't mean you're healthy; it can cause a lot of problems."

"Well, okay, I'll pay attention, thank you, little sister."

The road condition to the city is good. There is no random parking on the road to get people on or off. The bus only stops at designated stations. It took only one hour to get there.

Zhou Xiang said goodbye to Zhou Yizhou and left. He didn't have much impression of the city, mainly because the city had changed a lot in later years. The current city was about the same size and prosperous as a county town in later generations.

Zhou Xiang directly found a pedal tricycle and asked how much it would cost to go to the government unit area. The driver asked for twenty cents. Zhou Xiang nodded and got on the tricycle.

Along the way, I asked the driver which streets the units were located on and which unit offered better benefits.

The master was really talkative and knew everything Zhou Xiang wanted to inquire about. In the end, Zhou Xiang decided to go to the Finance Bureau and the Education Bureau because the two units were quite far apart, reducing the possibility of being exposed.

After getting off the car at the Finance Bureau and paying the fare, Zhou Xiang came to the door of the duty room and said, "Uncle, I want to see the director of the logistics department. Is he here?"
