"Okay, I won't carry this umbrella anymore. I've been pinched a few times. I'll wait for you to come back with an automatic umbrella."

Zhou Xiang looked at his second sister who had been coaxed by him and laughed a little. His second sister was very easy to coax and could get beautiful and fashionable things for her.

In the evening, Zhou's mother asked again if everything was ready, and the two sisters said in unison that everything was ready.

Zhou's mother was relieved.

When he got off work at noon the next day, he saw that all the umbrellas were left behind the door, so he prepared to beat his eldest daughter.

"Mom, mom, my sister can't open this umbrella, and it pinches her hands when she folds it. Every time she gets blisters, she never says anything. She said she went to the provincial capital to buy an automatic umbrella. It's light and doesn't require her to be on the ground to open it. It's also easy to fold. Seriously, believe me, if my sister comes back without an umbrella, you can beat me up again."

Mother Zhou put down the broom in her hand and said, "Okay, if you think about not buying an umbrella, I will beat you up!"

Zhou Yu nodded quickly, but felt something was wrong. As long as his mother didn't beat him now, it would be fine. His sister was at home, and his mother wouldn't beat anyone easily.

Zhou Xiang took a bus carrying a gray leather travel bag. When he arrived at the county town, he didn't go anywhere and changed buses directly to go to the city.

When we arrived at the city station, it was already past eleven o'clock. We found a noodle stall next to the station, ate a bowl of noodles, and then hailed a donkey cart to rush to the Education Bureau.

When I arrived at the Education Bureau at one o'clock, the people inside had not yet come to work.

Zhou wanted to put his travel bag on the curb at the gate, sit down on it and wait!

She was almost falling asleep waiting before bicycles started to enter the gate one after another.

"Huh?" A surprised voice made Zhou Xiang alert. The voice was special, like the thin and sharp voice of a eunuch in ancient times, and the voice came from a fat man.

Zhou Xiang immediately put on a facial expression - expressionless.

Zhu Tuo walked up to Zhou Xiang and said, "Little girl, is that you?"

Zhou Xiang asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Who are you?" and used the dialect of the town.

When I was selling fruits, I used standard Mandarin.

Zhu Tuo looked at her in confusion. She looked alike and yet not alike. Although the girl in front of him could not be called white, she was not as dark as the girl selling fruit, and she was also taller.

The most important thing is her appearance. The girl selling fruit is wearing a big, tacky cotton-padded jacket, and it is hard to tell whether she is fat or thin.

The little girl in front of me was wearing the latest fashion T-shirt, denim shorts and leather sandals.

"Hey! If you keep looking at me like that, I'll call for help."

Zhu Tuo listened to the accent that was obviously from the rural area of ​​this city and shook his head. I want to find that girl so much that I think everyone looks like her.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Zhu Tuo walked towards the gate.

"Zhou Xiang, why are you here so early?"

Looking at Zhu Tuo who turned around, Zhou Xiang just wanted to hold his forehead. Couldn't he try again in a few minutes?

"Yang Yang."

"What's wrong with your throat?"

"cold!"

"Ah? Then you better be careful and drink more water."

Zhu Tuo walked back to Zhou Xiang and asked, "Are you Zhou Xiang?"

Zhou Xiang maintained his facial expression and nodded.

"You two are students participating in the competition, right? Come in quickly! I'll take you in."

Who wants you to take me? Get away from me now.

Yang Yang looked at Zhou Xiang, "Who is this?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

Zhu Tuo quickly introduced himself, "I'm Zhu Tuo from the Education Bureau's Logistics Department. You can follow me in and wait in the conference room."

Yang Yang looked at Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang had no choice but to nod and quickly get the fat man away from him.

Zhu Tuo enthusiastically helped Zhou Xiang carry his travel bag. Zhou Xiang and Yang Yang followed him into the gate of the Education Bureau.

"We're here. You all wait in this conference room. Gather at 2:30. I'll go get ready."

What does that mean? Is he going to accompany the game?

Isn’t this going to kill me?

His fat body didn't look bulky at all. After putting down his travel bag, he quickly left the meeting room.

Yang Yang looked at her suspiciously, "Something seems to be wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that I find this guy's voice unpleasant. It's too high-pitched, and he loves to talk too much, so I can only pretend to be aloof so that he can shut up on his own."

"Oh, but from what he said just now, he doesn't mean to follow him, right? What should we do then?"

Zhou Xiang also frowned. He couldn't let him be spoiled and arrogant because of his favor or talent and get rid of him, right?

In this day and age, business trips are a good job. Everyone is scrambling to go on business trips just to earn a few dollars for travel expenses. They can also "travel" for free, and they are proud to tell others about it.

"or?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Just bear with it! If I dare to say I want to replace him, people will immediately say I'm arrogant. Believe it or not?"

Yang Yang could imagine this, so he sat down helplessly. He couldn't ask for a substitution, so Zhou Xiang had to endure it. Logistics! She must be with her all the time, so Zhou Xiang had to endure it all the time. What if she ran out of energy? Would she still be able to perform well in the game?

Is there no one else in charge of the logistics of the Municipal Education Bureau?

Zhou Xiang also felt helpless. Why did he think of coming to the Education Bureau to sell fruits at that time?

After a while, more people came in one after another. They were all from other county towns and city primary schools, and they were accompanied by teachers.

Zhou Xiang looked at Yang Yang. Could it be that he and Yang Yang were the cabbages in that field?

Just thinking about it! Someone came over and patted her shoulder, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Xiang saw that it was Tian Li and called out, "Sister Tian, ​​I was wondering why Yang Yang and I are the only ones without anyone to accompany us."

"I am, am I not? I came here specifically to accompany you and Yang Yang."

Yang Yang heard her pause and immediately knew that she was just bringing it along.

When Zhou Xiang heard this, he immediately pulled her aside and said, "Sister Tian, ​​that logistics guy Zhu Tuo might have seen me buying apples. He just asked me tentatively, and I said he recognized the wrong person because I didn't buy any.

Tell my brother-in-law that no one else should know that I bought the apples. Even if Jiang Zongda delivers the apples, he can't mention my brother-in-law's name. So, not a single word about the apples can be left out."

Tian Li nodded quickly, "Okay, I understand. I'll go tell your brother-in-law right away."

Tian Li hurried out of the meeting room. Yang Yang looked at Zhou Xiang suspiciously as he approached. "Where is Dr. Tian? What did you say to her?"

Zhou Xiang looked at him with a half-smile, "Yang Yang, you used to be so high and mighty, but lately I've noticed you've become quite the gossipmonger, just like that Yang Ji, always digging into other people's gossip."

Yang Yang's face immediately turned red. "I just care about you. Why are you comparing me to a nagging woman?"

"Isn't it? Don't satisfy your curiosity under the guise of caring about others. I care about you too. Can you tell me how much money you have and how many bad things you have done without telling your parents?"

Yang Yang was choked and turned away and stopped talking to Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang felt a little disdainful. A boy turned into a nagging woman. He wondered if it had anything to do with Yang Ji?
