Chapter 106 Coincidence in the bookstore
Since Li Shaoan had the idea of growing mushrooms in his mind, he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep almost all night, and he was thinking about his mushroom plan.
Before dawn the next day, Li Shaoan went out early and came outside Tieshan Bay to wait for the minibus to go to the county town.
I kicked six hundred yuan in my pocket, five hundred yuan was borrowed by Zhao Xuemei, and one hundred yuan was borrowed from my sister-in-law. In addition to buying mushrooms, I also had a big deal in my mind when I went to the county town, which was to buy a tricycle.
Originally, they had agreed with Qian Xiaolin that they would go to the county town to buy tricycles together, but now Qian Dabao is lying in the hospital, and Qian Xiaolin runs to take care of her every few days, so Li Shaoan has to go alone.
When I arrived at the county town, it was already around 10 o'clock in the morning. I drove a human-powered tricycle at the station gate and went directly to Xinhua Bookstore in the county town.
Xinhua Bookstore was the most famous bookstore at that time, and almost all the books you want could be bought here.
When you walk into the bookstore, there is a very large space inside. Rows of bookshelf are filled with books. The first floor sells hot books, and the second floor contains some unpopular books.
What Li Shaoan was looking for was a book about mushroom cultivation. After a walk on the first floor, he came to the agricultural book area on the second floor to start rummaging.
While concentrating on finding books, Li Shaoan moved slowly backwards and inadvertently, he felt as if he had bumped into someone else, so he quickly turned his head to apologize, but he met someone who surprised him.
"Why are you?"
The two of them shouted softly almost at the same time.
Standing in front of Li Shaoan was Sun Liping, who had just spent the night in her dormitory not long ago.
Today, Sun Liping was wearing a light green dress, a long white windbreaker, hanging from her back like ink, and dressed up in a fashionable and cool manner. Her temperament was really stand out from the crowd and was unique. It was hard to look away at just one glance.
"Principal Sun, such a coincidence, are you here to buy books too?" Li Shaoan took the initiative to greet him.
Sun Liping smiled and said, "This year, several major townships have withdrawn from middle schools and merged into No. 4 Middle School. New students do not have textbooks. I will come to Xinhua Bookstore to supplement the textbooks."
"Are you too many? Why don't I help you?" Li Shaoan knew that there were several books in a set of textbooks, and if he had to add dozens of sets, it would probably be difficult for Sun Liping to move alone.
Sun Liping thanked and said, "No more trouble. I also brought two teachers together. If they can help me."
Li Shaoan looked around, but did not see anyone following Sun Liping.
Sun Liping knew that he was looking for the two teachers and explained: "It is rare for them to come to the county town and said they wanted to go and have a good time. I made an appointment with them and gathered at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore at 12:30."
"Where are you, what books do you want to buy when you come here today?" For some reason, Sun Liping was in a very good mood after seeing Li Shaoan, and couldn't help but want to chat a few more.
Li Shaoan immediately told Sun Liping about his thoughts. After hearing this, Sun Liping nodded repeatedly and joked, "When your mushrooms grow, remember to let me taste them too."
"It must be, even if Principal Sun doesn't say it, I have to send it to you in person." Li Shaoan was so proud that he had not yet said anything, and it seemed that he had already made it.
"Okay, I'm waiting." Sun Liping smiled cheerfully.
After Sun Liping picked up several math and Chinese textbooks for each grade, she accompanied Li Shaoan to visit the agricultural book area. She knew nothing about these, but it was interesting to listen to her with a good tour guide like Li Shaoan.
The conversation between the two was relaxed and pleasant. Before they knew it, it was already noon and they were a little hungry.
"Let's go have lunch together." Sun Liping offered on her own initiative.
Li Shaoan agreed happily, thinking that Sun Liping cooked noodles for herself last time and then took them in for the night. This time, she had to invite Sun Liping to dinner and thank her.
The two came outside the bookstore, and Sun Liping walked in front to lead the way. She could see that she was very familiar with this area. In a small alley, she walked into a small restaurant that looked very ordinary.
"What's wrong? I think this restaurant is very broken, right?" Sun Liping saw Li Shaoan standing at the entrance of the restaurant hesitation and smiled: "Every time I come to the bookstore to do business, I eat here. This restaurant is cheap and tastes good."
Li Shaoan said embarrassedly: "I don't mean that."
"Okay, I know what you mean. You want to invite me to a big meal, right?" Sun Liping smiled at Li Shaoan and said, "Just make this meal casually, just treat it as a work meal with me."
Li Shaoan nodded and said, "No problem, I will follow the arrangements of Principal Sun."
In the restaurant, there are very ordinary decoration displays, old tables, chairs, stools, and oily floors. Everything looks so cheap. Li Shaoan was surprised. This seems a bit out of place with Sun Liping's trendy and beautiful outfit.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this?" Sun Liping met Li Shaoan's complicated gaze.
Li Shaoan said truthfully: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect Principal Sun to be such a frugal person."
Sun Liping covered her lips lightly and laughed out loud, "This is considered going out for work, so of course the food must be simple. Besides, what does it mean that I am such a frugal person? Do you think I usually spend a lot of money?"
Li Shaoan quickly explained: "I blamed me for saying the wrong thing for a while. I just think Principal Sun is very different from the school leaders of No. 4 Middle School I knew before."
"Oh, then you can tell me what is different from the school leaders of No. 4 Middle School?" Sun Liping seemed to be very interested in Li Shaoan's topic.
Li Shaoan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, these words don't sound nice, it's better not to say them."
During the conversation, the dishes were served, three dishes and one soup, which was already a very good working meal treatment. Of course, Sun Liping specially ordered more to invite Li Shaoan to dinner. If she had been doing business alone in the past, at most she would have to deal with each dish and a soup.
I ate a bite of the fragrant shredded potatoes, which tasted refreshing and delicious. I tasted the steaming tofu soup, which was delicious and sweet. Li Shaoan praised repeatedly. This small restaurant looked inconspicuous, but I didn't expect the taste of the dish to be really good.
After leaving the small restaurant, it was almost half past twelve, and it was time for Sun Liping to meet up with the other two teachers.
Li Shaoan accompanied Sun Liping to Xinhua Bookstore and returned to the lively main street.
Suddenly, a familiar figure passed by Li Shaoan, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Li Shaoan turned around and wanted to see the man clearly, but he could no longer see his face, so he could only see a back.
"What's wrong? Have you seen an acquaintance?"
Seeing Li Shaoan's reaction, Sun Liping looked at Li Shaoan's eyes and saw a girl with a long head holding the arm of a man in a suit.
"Lu Jiayun! Isn't she Yang Wei's girlfriend? How could she be with other men and act so intimately on the street? Could it be that the two of them have broken up?"
Li Shaoan thought silently. Looking at the back, he really looked very much like Yang Wei's girlfriend Lu Jiayun, but because he didn't see the face, he didn't dare to be 100% sure.
"Shao'an, Shao'an?" Sun Liping called out twice when she saw that Li Shao'an was still stunned.
