"Nonsense, my eldest brother is amazing! No one needs to worry about him, he can do everything, such as lighting the fire, fetching water, helping my second sister set up a stall to make money, and this year he even planted cucumbers and tomatoes in the yard. I'm not as capable as him, and I don't do as much as he does. My eldest brother is amazing, don't you dare say that to him!"
Zhou Niao smiled broadly, "Really?"
"Really? My eldest brother is unique in the world. No one is as good as him."
"Hehe, then I'll take you to buy some candy. I have money. It's my salary from my eldest sister."
"Oh oh! Big brother is treating me, I want to eat some melon seeds too."
"Okay! Buy both the melon seeds and the candy."
The brother and sister went into the sugar, tobacco and alcohol store. Zhou Xiang picked out some ordinary fruit candies, but Zhou Niao insisted on buying White Rabbit candies.
"Sister, I'll buy you some White Rabbit candy."
"Okay! Buy White Rabbit and sunflower seeds, whatever you like."
"good."
Liu Pinli watched the brother and sister finish their shopping and leave happily. She was quite envious. Although Zhou Niao was a little silly, he loved Zhou Xiang sincerely.
I also want to have a brother or sister to love me, but unfortunately I am the eldest at home and have to give in to my younger siblings in everything. Sometimes, it is very tiring.
When the brother and sister arrived home, Zhou's mother was waiting with a smile on her face. "The application will be approved tomorrow, and we should be able to go the day after tomorrow."
"Brother, are you going? It's fun there too. We can go home on Saturday afternoon so we don't miss classes on Sunday."
"Well, if I go, will it disturb your studies?"
"No, we're all very capable. There's only dad and my second sister at home. It's not fun anymore. Just follow me! Wherever I go, you go!"
"Okay! I'll go. If it's not fun, I'll come back."
"There are kids over there too. Bring your skateboard and a change of clothes. You don't need to bring toys. Brother San has plenty."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Zhou's mother interrupted, "You should go with me the day after tomorrow! Your sister will go to school tomorrow, and there's no one else at home, so we can go together."
"Alright! I'll go with mom. Big sister, I won't watch the stall for you anymore."
"Okay! I won't pay you either."
"Okay, when I help you again, you can pay me."
"OK!"
Zhou Xiang finally felt relieved. His father was out hanging out all day, and his second sister was busy at work and setting up the stall, so no one cared about him.
At night, looking at the two pieces of medicinal herbs in the space, Zhou Xiang really didn't know what to do. Even if he planned to grow them for hundreds or thousands of years, there shouldn't be so many. They are not cabbages.
Oh! Let's put it aside for now! I'll clear out a piece of land after I get some ginseng seeds.
The next day, I went to the provincial road early to wait for the first bus. Although it was still early when I arrived at the county town, it was too late to go to the Water Conservancy Bureau.
The station was to the north of the school, and the Water Conservancy Bureau was to the south of the school, so Zhou Xiang found a stall to have breakfast.
"Zhou Xiang?"
Zhou Xiang was eating wontons with his head down. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Li Li and a girl of the same age standing not far away. They also seemed to be planning to have breakfast.
"Li Li, have you eaten? Let's eat together!"
Li Li seemed a little resistant and unwilling to get close to Zhou Xiang.
"No, I was planning to eat with my cousin!"
The girl next to her happily sat opposite Zhou Xiang and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, Zhou Xiang! I'm Li Li's cousin Zhang Ning. I've always wanted to meet you, but never had the chance. Today is the day, and I'll treat you!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the other person. Unlike Li Li's lively personality, she was cheerful and generous, with a heroic face.
The upturned eyebrows add a touch of gentleness to her heroic appearance, which is very harmonious.
There is reality and calculation in his eyes, very naked and sincere.
It's obvious that I only interact with you because you are valuable.
This is who I am. You can accept it or not, but I am still me.
No wonder Li Li dislikes her, because she is always aggressive. Li Li is a pampered person and can't stand such people the most. However, she has to interact with her because of her relationship with her relatives.
Zhou Xiang, on the contrary, thought she was good and better than the hypocritical Bai Lianhua.
He raised his hand and shook hers. Hmm! It was good, no sense of rejection. "Hello! Zhang Ning, nice to meet you. Since you're willing to treat me, I'd be grateful if you could offer me a meal."
"Okay! Boss, give me three bowls of wontons."
"Anyone else?"
"No, I'll eat two bowls."
"Fortunately, I didn't compete with you for the treat, otherwise, I would have lost a lot."
"Really? Hahahaha."
Zhou Xiang also laughed. That’s good. Communication is not difficult and can withstand jokes.
Li Li sat down next to her cousin. Zhou Xiang only joked with acquaintances, but he started joking with his cousin when they met for the first time today.
Could it be that the two of them have "birds of a feather flock together"?
It's annoying enough that my cousin competes with me for the love and affection of my grandparents. Is she going to snatch my good friend away from me too?
After dinner, the three of them went out together.
"I'm also in No. 1 Middle School, Class 2, Grade 8."
"Then why didn't I see you and Li Li together after school?"
"I only come here to spend time with my grandparents on weekends. I usually live at my own house, so it's not on my way."
“No wonder!”
We soon arrived at school while talking and chatting.
Xiao Chunmei rushed into the classroom only when the bell for morning reading rang.
"Oh! Zhou Xiang, I thought you weren't coming again this morning!"
"You're not waiting for me at the alley entrance again, are you?"
Xiao Chunmei laughed and said, "Just wait a moment."
"If I go back to town on Sunday, I'll come straight from the station on Monday morning. Don't be such an idiot and wait for me next time."
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Chunmei agreed casually.
Zhou Xiang was deeply touched. He had never met such a person before. He always put himself first. (Ling Ran: Me! I am such a person!) He would stop and look for the slightest chance of encountering him.
It's a bit silly, but it makes people feel touched and distressed.
"By the way, there's a program for the National Day performances posted on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and your name seems to be on it!"
Zhou Xiang looked at her in surprise, "I didn't sign up!"
"I guess you don't like the spotlight. I wonder who did it."
"Let's talk about it after the morning reading class!"
The two stopped whispering and began to read the books in their hands rhythmically.
When the bell rang, the two of them stood up and walked to the blackboard at the back. There was an A4 paper on the left. Zhou Xiang was looking for it, and Xiao Chunmei pointed.
"Look, here, a female solo performance of 'Let's Row the Boat'."
Seeing that his name was indeed written, Zhou Xiang went to find Li Manman.
"Li Manman, what's going on with my female solo? Have I signed up? Just fill it out randomly."
"Huh? What? Your name? I didn't know! I took Saturday off."
"Who took the program back and put it up there?"
"Let me ask."
Zhou Xiang and Xiao Chunmei returned to their seats and waited. After a while, Li Manman came over.
