The two looked at each other, both feeling very curious. They went in to take a look, and found that someone had already got the jam produced in Xiang Baiwei's workshop, and a group of people were gathering together to taste it.

Curious about the taste, Xu Xiuxiu quickly put down what she was holding and squeezed over to join in the fun.

Liu Mei was not interested in this. To be exact, she didn't want to praise anything Xiang Baiwei had done.

Just by looking at those people's reactions, you can tell that Xiang Baiwei's thing is quite successful.

But Liu Mei was unhappy and didn't want to praise her.

Some even dislike her.

Liu Mei walked to her bed and packed her things. She didn't want to live in the dormitory anymore, but the teachers in the school all had fixed living quarters. As long as she continued to teach here, she would have to live with these people.

She was packing up her things in a gloomy mood when Xu Xiuxiu came over with a spoonful of jam: "Liu Mei, try it quickly, it tastes really good."

"I don't want to taste it. I don't like sweet things. You can eat it yourself." Liu Mei suppressed her unhappiness, pulled the corner of her mouth, and continued to tidy up her clothes, "Be careful, don't get it on your clothes."

Xu Xiuxiu had always had a good relationship with her, and she immediately guessed from Liu Mei's reaction that she was in a bad mood: "Well, then, you continue to be busy."

The noise outside continued.

It was a bit greasy to eat it dry, so someone took out the sliced ​​steamed bread and each person had a piece, spread it with jam, and ate it deliciously.

Liu Mei, who was far away, finished packing up her things and sat on the bed with a book in her hands, reading and observing the group of people sharing jam here.

The jam looked really delicious, and those people praised Xiang Baiwei's craftsmanship while eating it.

Xu Xiuxiu herself was a feeder of others, so naturally she could only follow others in praising. After she finished praising, she carefully turned back to glance at Liu Mei, and when she found that Liu Mei was not paying attention to that side, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, none of her little actions could escape Liu Mei.

This Xu Xiuxiu has always been the one who cares about whoever feeds her. Once she gets something good, she starts praising Xiang Baiwei to the heavens.

Liu Mei rubbed the pages of the book. It seemed that Xiang Baiwei was too outstanding recently.

Xiang Baiwei is so outstanding that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

How to dampen her enthusiasm?

Liu Mei lowered her head and stared at the book, but her thoughts grew wings and flew out of the room.

A few days later, it was Sunday and there were no classes in school. The teachers who had nothing to do were discussing whether to go out to town for some fun.

The weather happened to be cool these two days and the sun was not too strong, so they planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to see if there were any new and nice hairbands or clothes.

Xu Xiuxiu, who had eaten all the snacks, also wanted to go along, but she was used to being Liu Mei's follower and would ask Liu Mei about her plans every weekend.

"Me? Where do you want to go?" Liu Mei asked Xu Xiuxiu with a smile, "I see you seem to have a plan."

Xu Xiuxiu glanced at the other female teachers who were washing and dressing in the distance: "They said they wanted to go to the town to see if there were any new hair bands or something like that in the supply and marketing cooperative. Another teacher ran out of shampoo and wanted to buy some at the supply and marketing cooperative. I also want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look. Do you need anything?"

"Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative with you," Liu Mei said with a knowing smile, "Have you finished all the snacks? Do you want to buy some more at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

In a rural area, girls who are greedy don't have a good reputation. Xu Xiuxiu refused to admit it. "Well, I've almost used up all my stationery. I want to buy some more."

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Liu Mei didn't bother to expose her: "Then go with them. You go and borrow a car. I got a lot of dust on my face when I was cleaning just now. I'll wash my face first."

The rumors about her and Xiang Shunqiang had finally subsided a little, and she didn't want to be in the embarrassing situation again.

"Okay, I'll go then."

Seeing that Liu Mei no longer bothered her about her greed, Xu Xiuxiu readily agreed to run errands and borrow a car.

She has a limited IQ and can't figure out the real reason.

When they arrived in town, Liu Mei deliberately slowed down her pace and avoided hanging out with other teachers.

When Xu Xiuxiu went to buy snacks, Liu Mei followed her.

Sure enough, there was a long row of jams on the counter over there, and the words "Bai Wei" were written on the jars of jam.

Xiang Baiwei actually used her own name as a brand?

Liu Mei thought it was ridiculous.

A country girl is just a country girl. She can’t even come up with a decent brand name.

What’s annoying is that this country girl is a little too lucky. Although her name sounds ugly, the food she cooks is delicious and there is a constant stream of people coming to support her.

In just a short while, several parents have brought their children here to buy jam, canned food and preserved fruits.

Xu Xiuxiu looked at the dazzling array of products and her mouth was watering. "Wow, Xiang Baiwei is really amazing. Not only can she make jam, but she can also make so many kinds of canned fruits and preserved fruits. Her small workshop is more amazing than we thought."

"Buy yours quickly, don't keep others waiting for you later." Liu Mei hated it most when Xu Xiuxiu praised Xiang Baiwei.

Xu Xiuxiu realized that she had said something wrong, so she said "Oh", shut her mouth, stopped praising Xiang Baiwei, and just bought her own things.

After the shopping, Liu Mei squatted aside and teased two children who were brought by their parents to buy things. Xu Xiuxiu was thinking about buying a new hairband, so she ran over and got into the group of female teachers.

At this moment, Liu Mei stood up, glanced at Xu Xiuxiu who was talking to someone, took out some money, handed it to the salesperson, and asked for two bottles of canned fruit.

After buying it, she immediately went out, walked through an alley, opened the can, put something in it, and waited patiently for a while.

After waiting for a while, Liu Mei remembered something, took off her coat, took out a white coat that she had prepared in advance from her pocket, let her hair down, put on a hat, and then put on a mask.

After changing her clothes, she held the can and came to a row of shade trees, where several little boys were playing, all of them about seven or eight years old.

Liu Mei walked over and sat down. The little boys looked at the opened can of fruit in her arms from time to time.

Liu Mei pretended not to see the looks in the little boys' eyes. She leaned her head forward and looked around, apparently waiting for someone.

After a while, Liu Mei waved to a little boy and said, "Help me keep an eye on this. I'm going to do something over there and will be back soon."

The little boy stared at the can in his arms, but Liu Mei ignored him and said, "Please keep an eye on it for me."

After saying that, she hurried away.

As soon as Liu Mei disappeared around the corner of the alley, the little boys gathered around her and rushed over, reaching out to grab the can: "Give it to me, we'll share half when we meet!"
