Zhou Xiang jumped onto the back seat. Ling Ran tried hard to control the handlebars. Zhou Xiang quickly grabbed his clothes around his waist and half-hugged him.
"Can you ride it? If not, try again next time."
"Yes, I'm riding just fine! This is my first time leading someone, I'll be fine in a moment."
Ling Ran felt the heat on his waist and chuckled. "I've been riding for over a decade in my previous life, how could I not know how to do it?" It was just a trick.
Sure enough, the shaking stopped after a while, and Zhou Xiang didn't dare to take his hand away, and kept hugging her until they reached their destination.
Zhou Xiang took him directly to the children's clothing store. The owner grinned and said, "Little girl, are you bringing your brother here to buy clothes?"
Then he pointed to the shop next door and said, "The clothes there are pretty good. I'll ask the boss to give you a discount."
"I've bargained down to three-quarters of the price. Ask him first if he's selling it. If not, I'll go to another store. We're in a hurry!"
The children's clothing owner nodded, hurried into the store and mumbled something, then came out and said, "If he's willing, come in and look at the clothes first, then bargain."
Zhou wanted to look up at the sign above the door: 'Apple Store'. Well, since it's an Apple store, the purchase price must be lower. So he picked up the knife and started chopping!
Zhou wanted to choose for Ling Ran first. He picked up the clothes and asked him to try them on before choosing a T-shirt and socks.
"You don't have any sneakers at home?"
The boss's eyes turned, "Yes, I'll get it right away."
After saying that, he ran out of the store and went to another house.
Zhou Xiang said to the owner of the children's clothing store, "Go and take a look. Don't bring me fake goods, or I'll lose my next business."
The children's clothing owner quickly chased him out, and when he saw him enter the store, he immediately went in and pulled him out.
"Do you still want to do business next time? That girl is not easy to fool. She asked me to warn you."
The boss was stunned, then immediately turned around, went to the shop across the street, and bought a pair of shoes in the boy's size.
Ling Ran tried on the clothes and came out. Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, more handsome than Zuo Heng and my third brother."
The boss came back with the sneakers. Zhou Xiang took them, looked at them, and then said, "Get another pair of different styles, and then a pair of men's size 42, and a pair of women's size 38."
When the boss heard that the customer wanted four pairs of shoes, he immediately clasped his hands together and thanked the owner of the children's clothing store. He could get a commission of a few dollars for selling a pair of shoes.
After getting the three pairs of shoes back, Zhou wanted him to take out a pair of 1.75-meter-long men's jeans and a pair of 1.65-meter-long women's jeans.
The boss's face was full of smiles.
Ling Ran changed back into his own clothes and walked out.
Zhou Xiang was surprised: "Why don't you just put it on?"
"Wear it again tomorrow morning. It takes half a day to change clothes. My classmates are talking a lot of nonsense."
Zhou Xiang nodded. In this day and age, one must care about other people's opinions.
I picked out two sets of denim clothes for Ling Ran, plus three T-shirts, two shirts, and two pairs of five-point jeans for hot weather.
He took two dozen white socks and said, "If you can't wash them clean, throw them away and buy more."
Ling Ran nodded happily, he really couldn't wash his white socks clean.
Zhou Xiang estimated the price and asked for two T-shirts for his eldest brother and second sister. "Is a thousand a total okay? If not, we can go to another store. There are plenty of them on this street."
The boss took out a computer, clicked some buttons, and calculated the cost.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, take it. Come to my shop again next time."
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Since you asked me to come back, I must have made some money, more or less. Don't worry! You are easy to talk to, and I am easy to talk to too. I will come to your house to buy clothes next time."
The boss packed the bags into two bags as requested, smiled, and watched them leave. He thanked the children's clothing owner, "This little girl is amazing. Thanks to your reminder, I made a profit today."
The children's clothing store owner laughed and said, "Who are we to each other? It will be much more cost-effective to have this little girl patronize us in the future than to sell each piece one by one."
"Yes, yes. I'll give the money for the shoes to the man right away."
"Go ahead, I'll watch over you."
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran walked out of the street. "Just go to school! I'll take the clothes to Zuo Heng's place for you. You can pick them up after school tonight."
"Okay, thank you!" Ling Ran smiled at her lovingly. Today's experience and mood could not be replicated and would never be forgotten in his lifetime.
I will never forget her holding her pants and gesturing at her legs, and I will never forget her arrogance when bargaining with the boss.
"Why are you suddenly so polite? It seems like you've never been polite to me before."
"Yes, I'm going to be rude to you! Hahahaha."
"Alright, your mouth is almost as wide as your waistband. Let's go! Be careful not to be late!"
Zhou Xiang got on his bike and left.
Ling Ran looked at the duck-like swaying riding style and couldn't help laughing even louder.
"Ling, Ling Ran?"
A surprised voice sounded, and Ling Ran's expression changed in an instant, returning to his cold expression.
"That foolish laugh just now, was it you?" Li Shipeng asked.
"No, you're mistaken."
Li Shipeng didn't believe it. "Impossible, it's obviously you. What are you looking at? What's so funny?"
As he said that, he looked in the direction Ling Ran had just faced. There was nothing there?
"Let's go, we're going to be late for school."
"Tell me, what did you see just now?" Li Shipeng was still not giving up and kept asking.
Zhou Xiang returned to the yard of the Water Conservancy Bureau. Zuo Heng and his third brother had already gone to school. He put his eldest brother and second sister's clothes and shoes into the space.
Ling Ran placed his clothes on the bed in the west room, took out a set of toiletries, picked up another set of clothes, and rushed to the Education Bureau.
When Zhou thought of it, everyone had already arrived and was just waiting for her.
"A redneck is a redneck. He has no sense of time."
Ma Shasha looked at the cute Zhou Xiang with jealousy. This country bumpkin looked so eye-catching when he dressed up.
Zhou Xiang shouted to Liu Xuewen, who was standing next to the bus, "Director Liu, am I late?"
Liu Xuewen turned around and said, "No, we still have ten minutes before we leave."
"So, since I'm the last one to arrive, does that mean I have no sense of time?"
"Who said that there will always be a last person in any situation? How can we generalize?"
"That's what Ma Shasha said. She has a very serious class consciousness. She said I was a country bumpkin. She looks down on ordinary people!"
Liu Xuewen came over and said, "Ma Shasha, step out!"
When Zhou wanted to yell, Ma Shasha was angry at herself for not keeping her mouth shut.
Now that he was called out and glared at Zhou Xiang, he had no choice but to stand up.
"Are you Ma Shasha? Didn't your mother warn you? Do you have to be embarrassed in front of your classmates before you can accept this?"
Since you look down on country bumpkins, why don't you return to Dashen City with your mother? We've nurtured you here for over a decade, and this is how you produce such ungrateful people?
I'm telling you, as for you guys, as long as Zhou Xiang is here, I'm willing to give up all of you. Just Zhou Xiang participating in the competition is enough. Don't think you're so great. If you're not satisfied, get out now! One or two of you are taking yourselves too seriously.
