Since Chen Gang accepted the task of formulating the annual sales plan of the department store arranged by the leaders of the department store, he forgot to sleep and eat all day long, carefully analyzed the sales goods and purchase cycle, and wrote the sales plan task book.

Yulan heard that Chen Gang lived in an attic on the top floor of the department store, so she walked up slowly along the narrow staircase, and when she reached the top floor of the company, she saw that the aisle was full of sundries, and the aisle that was not wide was left only for a place to stay, Yulan walked over cautiously, and when she walked to the door of a room, the door was opened, and a young man from the department store walked out naked, with a towel on his shoulder, holding a basin in his hand, and when he saw Yulan, he felt ashamed for a while, and quickly pulled over the towel to cover his upper body and greeted with a smile:

"Yo, Secretary Hong, why did you get here?"

"I'm looking for Chen Gang, where does he live?" Magnolia asked with a smile.

"The top one is." The young man turned sideways and pointed to Magnolia, and humbly asked Magnolia to pass first.

"Oh, thank you." Magnolia walked straight inside.

The young man watched Magnolia walk by, reached out and closed the door, put the towel on his shoulder again, smiled and whistled and walked down the stairs leisurely.

Yulan walked to the top room, saw that the door was closed, retreated slightly, and looked in through the gap exposed by the edge of the window pasted with newspapers, only to see Chen Gang sitting in front of Zhuo, holding his cheeks with his hands in meditation, Yulan smiled and knocked on the door with her hand.

"Who?" Chen Gang asked as he stood up and opened the door, and was surprised to see Yulan.

"How did you find this place, and you can't rest at home on the weekend." Chen Gang said.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?" Yulan walked into Chen Gang's room and asked.

"Look at my mess, let you step on the ground." Chen Gang said as he hurriedly cleaned up.

Yulan stood in the room and looked around, the room was very narrow, there was a single bed on the inner wall, the bed was full of clothes, books, etc., there was a wooden box on a stool next to the bed, a table and a chair were placed by the window, the walls and ceiling of the room were pasted with waste newspapers, and a light bulb hanging in the middle of the ceiling was moved to the top of the table by Chen Gang.

"Well, it's a bit messy, you boys just don't like to clean up." Yulan said as she took the initiative to help Chen Gang pick it up.

"Oh, how can I let you do it." Chen Gang said embarrassedly.

"What's this, I just saw you with a sad face, what are you writing?" Magnolia said as she did it.

"The annual sales plan task book of the department store, the first time I took over to do it, it was a lot of pressure." Chen Gang said.

"Oh, can I help?" Magnolia asked with concern.

"If you have time, help me analyze the sales of fabric cabinets, I want to analyze the sales and purchase cycle of the entire department store, which is very beneficial for the formulation of the annual sales plan task book." Chen Gang said.

"I'll try it, I'm afraid I won't be able to analyze it well." Magnolia said.

Therefore, Chen Gang carefully instructed Yulan how to do sales and purchase cycle analysis, through the analysis, found the existing correlation and the crux of the problem, and proposed future improvement measures. Through Chen Gang's analysis and explanation, Yulan has a new understanding of the work and operation of the department store.

After more than a month of hard work, Chen Gang finally completed the annual sales plan of the department store, and handed it over to the leaders of the department store in high spirits, and the leaders read it carefully, they were very satisfied, and reported it to the county commercial bureau, the county commercial bureau discerned the gold, and asked the department store to call the maker of the task book to assist the commercial bureau to make an annual business plan, so Chen Gang was transferred to the county commercial bureau to work.

Yulan's work is also getting busier and busier, in addition to guarding the fabric counter and doing a good job in the work of the League branch, she also served as the counter team leader, and the difficult chores encountered at each counter came to find her, Yulan always helped solve it seriously and patiently, so it won the trust of the employees, and the company leaders arranged a new female employee to Yulan's fabric cabinet internship, so that Yulan could free up time for the management of the counter.

On this day, Yulan went to the warehouse to check with Bai Li because of the inventory of the purchase of goods at the counter, and Yulan was busy with work during this time, and she hadn't been with Bai Li for a long time, so she wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Bai Li.

Yulan is the first time to come to the warehouse, after Bai Li was adjusted to the warehouse as a custodian, because the commuting time is different from Bai Li, and the counter is really unable to leave, so she has never come to see Bai Li, Yulan thought of this, and felt guilty. Looking at the heavy warehouse of Nuoda, but it was empty, Yulan walked along the warehouses, and saw a row of bungalows, the doors of each room were closed, Yulan didn't know which room Bai Li was on duty, so she had to shout:

"Bai Li, Bai Li, I'm Magnolia, where are you?"

Bai Li heard Yulan call her in the room, she was startled at first, instinctively ready to open the door and go out, when her hand pulled to the doorknob, she stopped again, and couldn't help but think in her heart, since she was transferred to the warehouse, she was alone all day long against the empty warehouse land, except for the people who came to deliver and unload the goods, few people in the company came, after Chen Gang was transferred to the Commercial Bureau, he came to replace him to check the goods in the warehouse every month is the son of Master Wu of the stationery cabinet, named Wu Hao, whose personality is the same as Master Wu. It is often Bai Li who asks and he answers, if Bai Li doesn't squeak, he can keep checking the goods without saying a word and leave, and Bai Li doesn't bother to pay attention. Today, when I saw Yulan coming to her for the first time, I thought it was not because there was a mess in my work again, anyway, since I graduated and came to the department store, I have a lot of messes, and I have long been accustomed to it. The gap between myself and Magnolia is getting bigger and bigger, Magnolia is now a dazzling red flower in the department store, the leaders are important, the employees support, and I am like a child without a father or mother, growing freely in the wilderness, no one cares, no one cares. Thinking about it, Bai Li simply sat down again.

"Bai Li, Bai Li, where are you?" Magnolia continued to shout.

Bai Li listened to Yulan's shout, hesitated whether she should open the door and go out, thought about it, quietly tore open the corner of the old newspaper pasted on the window, and looked out, only to see Yulan standing alone in the open space of the warehouse looking around, looking at Yulan's delicate figure, she couldn't help but think of the scene when the two of them went to school and played together.

Yulan kept shouting that she didn't see Bai Li come out, thinking that maybe Bai Li went to the toilet, so she continued to walk forward to find Bai Li, Bai Li hesitated in the room again, thinking that if she didn't go out again, if Yulan went back to tell the leader, wouldn't she have to suffer again, just pretend to go to the toilet, and see what happened when Yulan came to find herself.

Bai Li finally opened the door and walked out, pretending to come from the warehouse and shouting at Yulan's back:

"Magnolia, did you call me?"

Yulan turned around in surprise and saw that it was Bai Li, so she hurriedly ran over and said:

"Where have you been? I've been calling you, and I thought you went to the bathroom. ”

"Yes, I just came back and saw you, is there anything wrong with me?" Bai Li said.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been busy with work, and I didn't come to see you, so you won't be angry with me." Magnolia pulled Bai Li and said.

"How so? We've all grown so big that we still get angry at every turn. Bai Li said.

"Bai Li, you are here alone to guard such a large warehouse, I am so worried about you, or I will go to the leader to talk to you and transfer you back to the counter." Yulan looked at Nuoda's warehouse and said to Bai Li.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, you know, I've been afraid of heaven and earth since I was a child. Besides, I can work here very freely, I can come late and leave early every day, compared to the counter, I think this place is more suitable for me. Bai Li said as she led Yulan towards the room.

The two entered the room and sat down face to face, Bai Li asked Yulan what was the matter with her, and Yulan told Bai Li about being the leader of the counter team, bringing in new apprentices, and checking the sales of the counter.

"You're really a busy department store guy right now." Bai Li said.

"Look at what you said, I want you to help me." Magnolia said.

"You have Chen Gang to help you, how can you still use me?" Bai Li said with a sour voice.

"Don't mention Chen Gang, he was drawn to the Commercial Bureau, and he is busier than me." Magnolia said.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you have to have a time to rest, everyone is busy, and after a long time, you will be estranged." Bai Li said with a pun.

"You're right, I'm here today just to have a good chat with you, it's been a long time since we've sat together like this and talked alone." Yulan leaned back in her chair towards Bai Li and said.

"I have time here at any time, you can come to me whenever you want." Bai Li said as she fiddled with the teapot with her hand.

"Hey, Bai Li, I want to ask you, the two of us have been working together for so long, do you have someone you like?" Magnolia asked tentatively.

"Me?" Bai Li didn't expect Yulan to ask herself like this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If you have it, tell me, and I can give you a staff officer. If not, the boys in our company, who do you fancie, I'll tell you. Otherwise, let Chen Gang help you find a job in the Commercial Bureau. Magnolia said.

"I have received your wishes, but I am afraid that others will dislike me and look down on me." Bai Li said.

"No, then it's decided, I must help you find a good boy." Magnolia said with a smile.

The two sat and talked for a long time, Yulan reluctantly left, Bai Li looked at Yulan's back, as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, in the department store, Yulan's work ability was stronger than herself, and she was deeply respected by the company's leaders, and her development was better than herself. Chen Gang, who was once in love with him, couldn't look down on himself, and became a pair of wall people with Yulan, Yulan is a double harvest of work and love, but he is a frustration of work and love. Alas, could it really be that God sent Magnolia to play tricks on himself? Bai Li shook her head.

More than a month later, the female employee who interned with Yulan was able to stand alone, so the leader of the department store called Yulan to the office and told her that the company listed her as an active member of the party trained by the department store, and was ready to send her to study at the higher party school for half a year.

"Yulan, it is a very honorable thing to go to the higher party school to study, the company values you, and you have to fight for the company." The company's leader said earnestly.

"Thank you for your concern, I will work hard." Magnolia nodded cautiously.

Walking out of the leader's office, Yulan went downstairs while thinking, the company arranged such an opportunity for herself, according to herself is nothing to say, only continue to work hard, in order to live up to the expectations of the company's leaders. But when I thought of leaving the ancient city, leaving my parents, and especially leaving Chen Gangda for half a year, I couldn't help but feel a trace of reluctance in my heart, but this kind of thought could not be revealed to the leader, Yulan deeply understood this, after returning to the counter, Yulan thought that nothing had happened, and after returning home from work, she couldn't help but confess her thoughts to Hong Shun and Lingzhi.

"Really? Such an opportunity is very rare, the leader sent you out to study because he valued you and cultivated you, and you should cherish it. Hong Shun said.

"Dad, I know all this, but it's been half a year! I, I, I can't bear to leave you. Magnolia said coquettishly.

"Look, look, look, I think you are reluctant to leave Chen Gang, take me and your father as dangling, you can't hide your thoughts from me." Lingzhi nodded through Yulan's mind and said.

"It's still my mom who understands me." Magnolia said with a shy smile.

"I don't know much about this Chen Gang and your mother, seeing that he is fascinated by you like this, or you can ask him to come to the house for dinner another day, so that your mother and I can officially get to know him, get in touch, and help you with your staff." Hong Shun said.

"Is it appropriate to take the initiative to invite him to the house? I'm afraid that he will laugh at our family. Magnolia asked hesitantly.

"It's not like we're going to marry you off as soon as we come home. You invited him as a friend, and I heard you say that his parents are gone, and he is alone in the ancient city, so why not let me and your father care about it as elders? Lingzhi said patiently.

"You see, your mom thinks better than we do." Hong Shun said with a smile.

"Yulan, he wants to be really good to you, no matter how long it takes for him, he will wait for you, if he changes his mind, it means that he is not worth your concern." Lingzhi said.

"You are really my good parents, I will go and ask him tomorrow for you to meet." Yulan's face was gloomy for a moment, and she hurried to eat happily.

When the next afternoon was close to closing, Yulan was packing up the fabric counter with the female employees and preparing to leave work, when she suddenly saw Chen Gang walk in, and the male and female employees at the other counters saw Chen Gang and took the initiative to greet him.

"Yo, Chen Gang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you forgot about us when you went to the Commerce Bureau." A female employee said loudly.

"He can forget us, but he can't forget one of us." A male employee said with a smile.

At this time, Aunt Peng also walked in and told everyone that their wages had been paid this month, and asked everyone to go to the finance room to get it.

"Chen Gang, let me tell you, if you don't come back to see us all often, I'll introduce other excellent boys to Yulan, see if you're in a hurry."

"Aunt Peng, don't scare him, otherwise Chen Gang will come to the counter every day without going to work." The female employee said with a smile.

"Please spare me, I'm just going to be transferred, and I'll be back when I'm done." Chen Gang said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily, a talent like you, the Bureau of Commerce will not let you go." Aunt Peng said with a smile.

"Then we have to guard against him, beware that he comes and takes our magnolia away." A female employee said.

"Hahaha." Everyone couldn't help but laugh happily.

Yulan just lowered her head and smiled and sorted out her belongings, letting everyone laugh and play, Chen Gang had long been accustomed to joking with Aunt Peng and the staff at the counter, and when he saw that Yulan was still tidying up, he was not in a hurry to leave, and waited patiently while continuing to laugh with everyone.

Yulan and the female employee packed up, picked up the satchel on their backs, lifted the partition and bent over and walked out.

"Okay, you all get busy first, let's go first, and we'll talk to you another day." As if he had been pardoned, Chen Gang walked briskly towards Yulan, and the two of them prepared to go out together.

"Ah, aren't you going upstairs to get paid?" Aunt Peng asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll get it tomorrow." Chen Gang said.

"Let's go first, goodbye." Magnolia smiled and turned around to greet everyone.

"Look, look, look, I'm not active in receiving a salary, this is 'husband and wife both return home'." A male employee sang in a Huangmei opera tune.

Yulan couldn't help but run over and pretend to hit him with her satchel, and the male employee quickly fled to the counter, making faces at Yulan from time to time.

"Okay, okay, let's not delay their time any longer, Yulan is about to go to the party school to study for half a year, and the two of them are busy whispering." Aunt Peng persuaded.

Chen Gang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Aunt Peng say this, because today's leaders of the Commercial Bureau also told him that he was recommended as a training object for young cadres in the commercial system, and he was selected to go to the higher party school to participate in training, so he hurried over as soon as he got off work and was ready to tell Yulan about it.

The two of them were walking down the street, and the facades along the street were closing one after another, and Chen Gang proposed to Yulan to invite her to eat at the Dahe Inn and small restaurant.

"Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner? You haven't even received your salary. Magnolia asked puzzled.

"You're going to study in the party school, I'll give you a gift, and the money on me should be enough." Chen Gang said with a smile.

"It's not tomorrow, it's a few days." Magnolia said.

"While I have time today, we haven't seen each other for many days, and I haven't treated you to dinner once. Hong Zhishu, can you give me a face? Chen Gang pretended to be pitiful and said.

Yulan couldn't help but be amused when she saw Chen Gang like this, so she followed him into the small restaurant of the Dahe Inn, the layout of this restaurant still maintains the style before liberation, but the owner of the restaurant has long passed away, and now the boss's son is in charge of the counter, and the people who run the hall have also changed to new ones, and there are not many people who come to eat at this time. Seeing Chen Gang and Yulan walking in, the people who ran the hall hurriedly welcomed the two of them to the room, Chen Gang chose a quiet window seat for Yulan to sit first, and he began to order.

"Chen Gang, the company leaders asked me to go to the party school to study, and it will take half a year to go, do you think it's better for me to go or not?" Magnolia asked hesitantly.

"Go, why don't you go? Going out to see the world and learning more will be good for your future development. Chen Gang blurted out.

"But the thought of going out alone for so long makes me ......," Magnolia said with a subtle bow.

"Are you reluctant to give up your parents?" Chen Gang said tentatively.

"Not really." Magnolia said as she twisted the strap of her satchel with both hands.

"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the same good luck as you." Chen Gang pretended to be envious and said.

Chen Gang stood up and put the rice in the bowl of Yulan, and then took out the chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the table and handed them to her, and then sat down to serve himself the rice and ate it with Yulan.

"Everyone in the department store knows about you going to study at the party school." Chen Gang asked.

"Originally, I wanted to hide it, but I let Aunt Peng tell me the truth, now everyone should know." Magnolia said.

"Does Bai Li know? I've rarely seen her since she came to the Business Bureau, how is she now? Chen Gang continued to ask.

"I talked to her the last time I went to the warehouse to stock up and she looked pretty good. Oh, and by the way, I want you to help her find a boyfriend. Magnolia said with a smile.

"It's a bit difficult, her personality is not something that ordinary gay men can control." Chen Gang said.

"She's a little playful and righteous, but maybe it's different after she gets a boyfriend, people, they all change." Magnolia said.

"Okay, then I'll see if there's a suitable one for her in the Commerce Bureau." Chen Gang replied.

"By the way, we've been together for so long, my parents want me to ask you to go to the house for dinner, when do you have time?" Magnolia asked.

"Uncle and aunt invited, how dare I disobey the order, or the weekend, rush to the market on the weekend, your parents must be busy in the cloth shop, let's make the meal at home first, so that they can eat as soon as they get home, okay?" Chen Gang said sincerely.

"You can also cook? I don't see that. Magnolia said in surprise.

"The children of the poor are in charge early, and I am just busy and have no time to cook, so I will make a few small dishes for you to taste my craft." Chen Gang said.

"You just blow it, you don't want to show it in front of my mom and dad." Magnolia said deliberately.

"I only show for the people I love." Chen Gang said to Yulan affectionately.

When Yulan heard Chen Gang say this, she felt sweet in her heart, and the girl's shyness was unconsciously revealed on her face, thinking that she had the love of her parents in her life, and Chen Gang's deep love for herself, she was already satisfied. Isn't it half a year to go to the party school to study? I believe that it will pass soon, I can't meet Chen Gang often, and I can still write a letter, the ancients said: If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight. Maybe after being separated for a while, you can also take this opportunity to test Chen Gang to see if he is loyal and dedicated to his feelings. Thinking of this, Yulan suddenly felt open-minded, so after eating with Chen Gang, Chen Gang settled the account, the two walked out of the small restaurant, walking slowly along the river embankment path, the river breeze blew their faces, under the light of the people along the river bank, the river water was sparkling, a few small boats shuttled on the river, along the banks of the river starlight, as if the stars in the sky fell, when the two walked to the "Kui Xing Lou" on the Blessing Bridge, Chen Gang asked Yulan to stop, and told her that the people who stood under the "Kui Xing Lou", In the future, it will be a celebrity in the ancient city, Yulan does not believe it, and says that there are countless people who pass by the "Kuixing Tower" every day, how can everyone become famous and become a family. Chen Gang said that he had a hunch, and if he didn't believe it, he made a promise here, and it was verified after five years. Magnolia only took him as a joke and didn't take it seriously. The two of them walked back to Yulan's house for a while, and when they arrived at the door, Chen Gang broke up with Yulan, and Yulan watched Chen Gang return and walk away before turning around and walking into the house.

This weekend, Hong Shun as usual is to accompany Lingzhi early in the morning to the cloth shop to help, now the store has Yufen and his wife to take care of the head is the way, Lingzhi is a lot of worry, although there are many people in the store, but the villagers want to make clothes are relatively simple styles, the past wives and ladies have changed the previous style of dressing, towards simple and loose clothes, so Lingzhi is no longer as busy as before, Hong Shun also thinks that the business of the cloth shop as long as it is done, anyway, now Yulan is also working, and the life of the family is getting better and better, Therefore, I don't want Lingzhi to be too tired and hurt my mind.

Yulan rarely slept at home, after waking up, she saw her parents making breakfast for herself, and then they all went to the cloth shop to be busy, the house seemed quiet for a while, Yulan got dressed and got up to wash, sat at the table and waited for Chen Gang while eating breakfast.

"Magnolia, magnolia." Chen Gang knocked softly in front of Yulan's house and shouted.

"Hey, here we go." Magnolia ran and jumped out to open the door.

I saw Chen Gang holding a bag of pastries in one hand and a bag of apples in the other hand standing in front of the door and winking at her. Yulan hurriedly let Chen Gang into the house, although Chen Gang sent Yulan home many times, but every time it was sent to the door and went back, today is the first time to walk into Yulan's house, looking at the antique furniture, although Hong Shun and Lingzhi are not at home, but Chen Gang is still honestly afraid, looking at him while walking, Yulan looked at his demeanor and couldn't help laughing.

"You're a new son-in-law, what are you doing so well? My parents aren't home right now, so you don't have to be so nervous. Magnolia said.

"The first time I saw my uncle and aunt, I couldn't be sloppy, and I couldn't leave a bad impression on my uncle and aunt." Chen Gang said seriously.

"It's not okay to have a good impression, I'm afraid it's pretending." Magnolia quipped with a smile.

"I didn't expect your mouth to be so naughty, no wonder people in department stores are so eloquent." Chen Gang said.

Chen Gang put down his things, and saw that Yulan's breakfast hadn't finished yet, so he smiled and urged her, "Big lazy worm, hurry up and eat, we still have something to do." Yulan didn't know what else Chen Gang was going on, so she ate a few bites indiscriminately, and forced the last piece of cake into Chen Gang's mouth, Chen Gang pulled Yulan out of the house and locked the door while eating, and walked towards the vegetable market with Yulan.

The vegetable market on the weekend is lively, the villagers who come from all over the world bring their own varieties of melons, fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and geese to sell everywhere, the flow of people bargaining in the noisy and shouting, the transaction begins to weigh the inch, the name is high and low at first, and slowly approaches the balance point, and the buying and selling are satisfied in this process.

Yulan followed Chen Gang around the vegetable market, Yulan rarely comes here, and rarely buys vegetables, so she helps take what Chen Gang buys, only to see Chen Gang skillfully buy a fish and other fresh fruits and vegetables, Yulan was stopped by Chen Gang several times to rush to pay, and the seller only thought that they were relatives, and casually said "Whoever pays is the same".

"Just pay your salary, and you're so extravagant." Magnolia said coquettishly.

"This is for my uncle and aunt, you are not allowed to eat it." Chen Gang said deliberately.

"I don't have anything to eat, for the sake of me helping you carry things, you have to let me taste it." Yulan also deliberately coquettishly said.

"You have to ask your uncle and aunt to agree, so just wait and drool while standing on the sidelines." Chen Gang smiled as he said as he took something from Yulan's hand and carried it.

After the two returned home, Chen Gang rolled up his sleeves, Yulan thought that Chen Gang was going to start cooking now, and shouted that it was still early, only to see Chen Gang find the mop, pick up the basin and start mopping the floor, Yulan saw Chen Gang so diligent, she was really happy, and took out a rag to wipe the table and stool, after Chen Gang finished mopping the ground, she took the rag from Yulan's hand, stood on the stool and wiped the glass window bright and transparent, Yulan held the stool, leaned her neck and said to Chen Gang:

"You're so diligent, so why is the house you live in so messy?"

"That's when you only see me busy, but you don't see me tidying up my room. I see that you are a big lazy worm, and you are also blessed at home. Chen Gang said while wiping.

"You are talking nonsense, don't you don't see it when I do things." Magnolia muttered.

Chen Gang jumped down from the stool after wiping the glass, and said to Yulan seriously while rubbing the rag in the basin:

"My father and mother died early, when I was a child, I saw other people's children have their parents distressed, my heart was sour, I vowed to grow up and find a girlfriend, I will love my girlfriend's home as my own home, and respect my girlfriend's parents as my own parents."

Yulan heard Chen Gang say this, she didn't know what to say for a while, Yulan grew up under the care of her parents from childhood to adulthood, but she really didn't experience the pain of losing her parents, so she felt sincere admiration for Chen Gang who grew up alone, full of confidence in the future, and down-to-earth and serious work, and also wanted to comfort Chen Gang with her love for him and the warmth of her family, Yulan believed that her parents would definitely accept Chen Gang as much as she did.

After the two cleaned up the house, Chen Gang began to wash vegetables and break fish, Yulan ran to get scissors for a while according to Chen Gang's instructions, and peeled onions and garlic for a while, and was very happy to help Chen Gang, I hope that the two of them can always work and live together happily, in Yulan's eyes, Chen Gang is like his own relatives, sheltering her from the wind and rain, helping her solve problems, teaching her to learn to live, thinking of separating from Chen Gang in two days, a sense of inseparable parting inexplicably swelled in her heart, when Chen Gang wore an apron and fried fish around an iron pot, couldn't help but hold him with both hands from behind Chen Gang and leaned his head on his shoulder.

"What's wrong with you? Be careful with the frying of you. Chen Gang asked while blocking Yulan.

"I'm leaving in two days, and I'm reluctant." Magnolia whispered.

"This isn't like what you usually look like, Hong Zhishu." Chen Gang teased Yulan and said.

"It's in my house anyway, I'm like that." Magnolia said coquettishly.

Chen Gang had no choice but to let her, continue to concentrate on making fish with both hands, and after putting the pot in the water and covering the pot, he turned around and hugged Magnolia, gently brushed the hair on her forehead with his hand, kissed her forehead, and then let go of her, let her go to prepare the soup bowl for fish, Yulan ran to the cabinet and opened the cabinet door, found a blue and white porcelain sea bowl out, took it to the side of the pot and put it, Chen Gang opened the lid of the pot, a fish fragrance came to the nose, Yulan couldn't help but take a deep breath, praised "so fragrant" in her mouth, Chen Gang picked up the chopsticks and tried it, Then put the fish soup into the sea bowl, and Yulan carefully walked to the table with both hands and put it down.

After Chen Gang made the other dishes, Hong Shun and Lingzhi came home, as soon as the two walked into the house, they smelled the fragrance of the food, this is never something in the family, the two of them looked around again, only to see that the house was neat and tidy everywhere, the windows were bright and clean, and everything was placed in an orderly manner, the two of them were standing in the yard wondering, Yulan took out the last dish from the kitchen to the living room and put it down, when she looked up and saw her parents, she ran out happily with the spring breeze on her face, holding her father with her left hand and her mother with her right hand, and took them into the living room.

"Look, the meal is ready, just waiting for you to come back and start the meal." Magnolia said with a smile.

"You did it? I don't believe it. Lingzhi pouted and said.

"It's been a long time since our house has been cleaned so cleanly, and this won't be your doing." Hong Shun said.

"Hehehehe, I've been pampered by you since I was a child, and I definitely didn't do any of this. Chen Gang, my parents are back, come out and see you. Magnolia exclaimed.

After a while, Chen Gang walked out of the kitchen embarrassedly wearing an apron, saw Lingzhi and Hong Shun, smiled and respectfully exclaimed:

"Uncle and aunt, you're back."

"You're here to help you do these things, so we can't even be happy." Lingzhi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we were talking about inviting you over for dinner someday." Hong Shun continued.

"Oh, I said you all don't stand and be polite to each other, and I'll take care of the rest of the dishes." Yulan muttered and pulled Lingzhi and Hong Shun to sit down, and asked Chen Gang to sit down as well, while she was busy serving them rice and handing them chopsticks, and then sat down next to Chen Gang to eat together.

"Uncle and aunt, you can taste the fish I made, I don't know if the taste is to your taste?" Chen Gang helped Lingzhi and Hong Shun sandwich the fish and handed it to their bowls.

"Mom and Dad, Chen Gang said that this fish is specially made for you to eat, and he will not allow me to eat it." Magnolia said coquettishly.

"Because my uncle and aunt are tired today, and you, the day of eating is ahead." Chen Gang joked while sandwiching a piece of fish for Yulan.

"Look, Mom and Dad, I'm stained with your light." Magnolia said with a smile as she picked up the fish pieces with her chopsticks.

"You, you have to learn to do these housework with Chen Gang." Lingzhi said to Magnolia.

"Chen Gang, where is your hometown?" Hong Shun asked casually.

"Uncle, my hometown is in the countryside, and my parents died before liberation, so I'm the only one left." Chen Gang replied.

"Oh, a miserable child, too. In the future, on weekends or holidays, just come to the house to play. Lingzhi said sympathetically.

"Okay, thank you, aunt, when you need me in the future, just say it." Chen Gang said sincerely.

"In two days, Yulan will be going out, whether she is at home or not, just come when you want to come." Hong Shun said.

"Actually, I came today because there is one more thing I want to tell you, even Yulan I have been hiding, I just want to surprise her, the Commercial Bureau recommended me as a young cadre training object in the commercial system, and selected me to go to the higher party school to participate in training, just with Yulan." Chen Gang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Magnolia opened her mouth and shouted.

"What's wrong? Is it stuck in a fish bone? All three of them turned to Magnolia in surprise and asked.

"No, no, Chen Gang, you are so bad that you have been hiding it from me." Yulan put down the bowl as she spoke, and slapped Chen Gang's back coquettishly.

"I want to hide it from you, and I have to tell the truth to my uncle and aunt, so I made this table of food today just to reassure my uncle and aunt that after I go to the party school, I will take care of Yulan." Chen Gang said.

Lingzhi couldn't help but smile with Hong Shun, now that there is Chen Gang, their parents can finally worry about it, seeing that Chen Gang is so sensible, filial piety to the elders, considerate to Yulan, and doing housework is like this, such a young man is really rare, Yulan's vision is really good.

Yulan originally had thousands of attachments in her heart, but now when she heard Chen Gang say this, all of a sudden they all disappeared, and her joy was overflowing, and she didn't feel lonely in her heart, and she could put down her work with Chen Gang and go out to study with peace of mind, which was something she never dreamed of. Chen Gang's calmness made Yulan sincerely admire, and Chen Gang's meticulous style of doing things made Yulan admire. Watching Chen Gang talking seriously with his parents, Yulan imagined her future, and it seemed that she was destined to grow old with Chen Gang in this life.

"You have to go for half a year, you have to bring all the things, we have prepared here in Yulan, Chen Gang, what you lack there, just tell us, don't be polite to us." Lingzhi said.

"Yes, when you walk into this house today, we will treat you as a member of the family, you are busy with work and don't have time to prepare things, just tell us, or let Yulan tell you." Hong Shun said.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, I really feel like I've found home today, and my heart is very warm." Chen Gang said sincerely.

After eating, after Chen Gang and Yulan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, the two of them greeted Hong Shun Lingzhi and walked slowly along the river embankment path under Kichijoji.

"This plum tree blooms beautifully in winter, and when I was a child, my parents often took me here to play, and I used to build snowmen here." Magnolia said.

"Then I guess that my uncle and aunt may have been booked here for life when they were young." Chen Gang said.

"I don't know, you can really imagine it." Magnolia said with a smile.

"What do you think, the winter is cold and windy, the snow is white and the red plums are rippling, and the river is rippling, if there is a pair of lovers who swear to make an alliance here, what a wonderful picture it should be." Chen Gang imagined poetically.

Yulan heard Chen Gang say this, and then looked at the plum tree, a pair of men and women vaguely appeared in her mind, but she couldn't see the faces clearly, from the back looked a little like her parents, but it was a little different, when she was contemplating it, Chen Gang picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the river, "poof", pulled Yulan's thoughts back.

"Yulan, let's also have a sea vow, okay?" Chen Gang asked.

"What new tricks do you want to do?" Magnolia asked with interest.

Chen Gang picked up two small stone pieces from the ground, took one and wrote the word "Lan" on the other, then exchanged them, and wrote the word "Gang" on the other piece as well, merging the two small stone pieces together and putting them into a crack in the root of the plum tree.

"When we are white-headed, we must come here to see and witness our love." Chen Gang said word by word.

Two days later, Yulan and Chen Gang took the luggage prepared for them by Lingzhi and Hong Shun, and got on a long-distance bus, Lingzhi and Hong Shun stood under the window and told them to pay attention to this and beware, Chen Gang and Yulan nodded vigorously, and after the car started, they slowly drove out of the station, and Lingzhi and Hong Shun followed out, until the car went away, leaving a puff of dust, and the two of them still stood and waved for a long time. Yulan didn't sit up straight until she gradually couldn't see her parents clearly, talked and laughed with Chen Gang along the way, and walked towards the party school with a happy mood.

On this day, Lingzhi's cloth shop entered another batch of fabrics, Yufen and his wife were busy unloading, Lingzhi raised his eyes and saw a piece of cloth with a novel color, and couldn't help but take it curiously and weigh it carefully in his hand, Yufen came over and asked her what she was going to do, Lingzhi said that she suddenly felt that this cloth was very suitable for Yulan as a dowry, listening to Lingzhi say this, Yufen couldn't help but enthusiastically ask about Yulan's marriage, and helped Lingzhi to staff up.

"You're such a baby girl, you can't wear it, lay it, and cover it, get ready early." Yufen said.

"That being said, today's young people are not like us in the past, everything has to listen to their parents, they all have their own ideas, this Magnolia has been used to me and her father since childhood, and now everything is up to her." Lingzhi said.

"Yulan is promising, I saw her take the people from the department store to the martyrs' cemetery to sweep the graves, really like a female cadre." Yufen said enviously.

"Look at how you praise her. I don't expect her to be a cadre in the future, as long as she is safe and sound. Lingzhi said.

After Bai Li finished inspecting the goods in the warehouse of the department store, she returned to her small room, put the warehouse key in the drawer, picked up the tea jar and took a sip of tea, and then sat and knocked melon seeds. Since the last time Yulan came to talk to her heartily, Bai Li didn't want to make progress in her heart, but felt that in the department store, with Yulan, she Bai Li would always be a foil, from when she danced "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" as a foil, she has been living in the shadow of Yulan all her life, especially now that Yulan and Chen Gang went to study in the party school together, they lived and flew together, and became a pair of talented men and women who were the envy of the entire business system. No matter how hard I try, I can't keep up.

Bai Li fell into deep thought, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, startled, and quickly opened the door to see, it turned out that Wu Hao came to check the goods again, what made Bai Li's eyes light up was that Wu Hao cut his hair today, his clothes were clean and tidy, and the whole person looked more energetic. Wu Hao saw Bai Li looking at himself vigorously, and blushed and lowered his head.

"What's the joy today?" Bai Li asked absentmindedly.

"No, no, no." Wu Hao stammered.

"Hey, I said you, it's really your father's genetics, and you're even more annoyed than your father, and you can't say a word for a long time." Bai Li turned around and took out the warehouse key from the drawer, took the door with her as she spoke, and walked towards the warehouse with Wu Hao.

"Your father is fine, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I can't leave this warehouse." Bai Li asked.

"Okay." Wu Hao replied.

"In addition to coming over to check the goods, what else do you usually do in the company." Bai Li asked casually.

"I will do whatever the leader tells me to do." Wu Hao said.

"Hahaha, you're such a solid eye. And what about you off work? Bai Li couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Go home from work." Wu Hao replied.

"Who doesn't go home from work, I'm asking you what to do when you get home from work?" Bai Li continued to tease Wu Hao.

"Don't do anything, eat and sleep." Wu Hao said.

Bai Li shook her head, knowing that no matter how much she asked, Wu Hao couldn't say anything that interested her, the two walked to the door of the warehouse, Bai Li opened the door, the two walked in, Bai Li took out the flashlight and opened it in her hand after the door, took Wu Hao to check the goods together, and unconsciously walked to a pile of wooden cabinets, only to see that the canvas covered by the wooden boxes and cabinets was lifted by the wind and opened a corner, Bai Li saw that she seemed to be touched, and recalled the scene with Chen Gang here in a daze, and couldn't help sighing, Looking at the front and back, the goods piled here are just on the tuyere after the warehouse door is opened, every time the door is opened, the covered canvas will be lifted by the wind, Bai Li wanted to find a chair, but saw Wu Hao bow and climb onto the pile of goods, stretched the sail little by little, covered all the goods, slowly retreated, and finally let go of a jump, and the whole person fell to the ground steadily. Bai Li saw it in her eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.

"This pile of cargo always likes to show the canvas being lifted by the wind, and every time I have to get it done for a while." Bai Li said angrily.

"This is easy to do, next time I will get you a bamboo pole, the front end is tied with a wire into a loa, you just need to hook the corner of the canvas, and then pull it hard to come down." But you can't follow my example of climbing up and getting it, those wooden cabinets covered with canvas are high and low, and if you don't pay attention, you will step into the air. Wu Hao said this to Bai Li seriously for the first time.

"Where is there such a long bamboo pole?" Bai Li asked.

"There are many on the other side of the Iron Mountain Creek, and they all grow on the edge of the stream." Wu Hao said.

"Really? You can take me another day, okay? Bai Li was interested for a while and said happily.

"Okay." Wu Hao said.

"Great, I haven't been out for a long time, or this weekend." Bai Li said.

"This? Wait until I talk to my dad. Wu Hao said hesitantly.

"You have to ask Master Wu for leave for such a thing, you are really an obedient and good boy." Bai Li said with a smile.

Wu Hao didn't squeak, and continued to check with Bai Li for other goods, after checking, the two of them signed on the list of goods, Wu Hao turned around to leave, Bai Li grabbed him and told him not to forget to take her to Tieshan Creek to cut bamboo poles on the weekend. Wu Hao was held by Bai Li for the first time, he was embarrassed for a while, and promised with "uh-huh" in his mouth, Bai Li saw him so ashamed, and let go of his hand with a smile.

On the weekend, Bai Li came to the Zhusheng Bridge early, waiting for Wu Hao while looking at the scenery of the Qinglong Cave complex, in her memory this seems to be the first time she went out alone with a gay man, but this Wu Hao is not a gay man in her eyes, at most a little brother, going to Tieshan Creek to cut bamboo poles is just an excuse for Bai Li, but what she thinks in her heart is that it would be great to be able to go out and go crazy like when she was a child. But Bai Li walked back and forth on the Zhusheng Bridge a few times, but she never saw Wu Hao coming, could it be that this kid changed his mind, it was impossible to coax her according to Wu Hao's sluggish appearance, or Master Wu was unhappy, it didn't seem to make sense, in the department store, Bai Li could be disdainful of anyone else, but she was respectful of Master Wu, not only for the sake of the relationship between the master and the apprentice, but also because despite her repeated mistakes, Master Wu did not look at her differently like others, but criticized her earnestly, So when Bai Li listened to the leaders or colleagues of the department store criticize her, she held her breath in her heart, and if it was Master Wu who criticized her, she immediately calmed down and stopped talking, so Bai Li felt that Master Wu would not be prejudiced against her.

But why didn't Wu Hao come? Even if she can't go, she has to tell her, let her wait here stupidly, the more Bai Li thinks about it, the more unpleasant it is, if it were someone else, Bai Li would have come to the door to ask one, two, three, but when she met this shrunken Wu Hao, she called Bai Li out of line.

Bai Li waited patiently for a while, there was a "jingle" bell behind her, Bai Li turned around and looked, only to see Wu Hao riding a dilapidated bicycle to her side, signaling her to get on the car, Bai Li suddenly turned into joy, reached out and grabbed the rear bracket of the bicycle, and sat on it with a jump, Wu Hao stabilized the body, and took Bai Li straight towards Tieshan Creek.

"You guy, why did you keep me waiting so long, I thought you weren't coming." Bai Li said loudly.

"I looked for a machete at home for a long time, and finally found that the edge of the knife was all rusty, so I went to find a whetstone to grind, and then I thought that the two of us would walk like this, and it would take a lot of time, so I found the worn-out bicycle at home, wiped the gears and faucet, and put some oil, so it was too late." Wu Hao replied fifteen-ten.

Bai Li felt guilty for a while after hearing this, she only thought of playing, but she didn't even think of bringing the tools for cutting bamboo poles, but Wu Hao prepared everything so thoughtfully, she usually only knew that he didn't talk much, but she couldn't see that he was still such a careful person.

"And does your dad know?" Bai Li asked again.

"I know, I told him, he hesitated at first, but he didn't stop him, as long as I was careful." Wu Hao said.

Then Bai Li asked Wu Hao about the situation at home, Wu Hao told her that she was the eldest in the family, and there was a younger brother and sister below, all of whom were still in school, her mother was not in good health, and she was sick in bed all the year round, her grandmother was old, and the family was counting on her father. So Wu Hao took over Chen Gang's work.

Hearing Wu Hao say this, Bai Li couldn't help but show sympathy for Wu Hao's family, and suddenly understood the hardship in Master Wu's heart, it was not easy for Master Wu to carry such a heavy family burden.

The two of them came to Tieshan Creek, only to see the trees verdant, shade and avoid the sun, Tieshan Creek is hidden in the abyss of the valley, the murmuring sound of the water is pleasant to the ear, the fresh air floating in the valley is refreshing, the path into the road is getting narrower and narrower, Bai Li jumped off the car first, Wu Hao also came down and pushed the bicycle along the Tiankan Road by the creek, zigzag, the two of them did not go far with one foot high and one foot low, they saw a small stream beach washed out by the stream, and the pebbles on the beach emitted a dazzling white light under the sunlight. Bai Li saw a bamboo forest growing near the edge of the field, and was excited for a while, so the two walked towards the bamboo forest, Wu Hao parked the bicycle on the edge of the bamboo forest, took out the machete from the bag he was carrying and held it in his hand, put down the backpack, selected a tall bamboo in the bamboo forest and grabbed it with his left hand, and waved the machete with his right hand to cut it at the root of the bamboo, Bai Li stood aside and watched carefully, the long bamboo with Wu Hao cut down with a knife, shaking rhythmically, and the dotted bamboo leaves fell down, When Wu Hao was about to cut off, the whole bamboo had shown a downward trend, Bai Li told Wu Hao to beware of the root of the bamboo upturned up and hurt his eyes, Wu Hao stopped, changed the position to stand, and stepped on the whole bamboo with his feet, Bai Li came over and pulled the branches on the bamboo, Wu Hao waved the machete and cut a few times, the root of the bamboo was finally cut off, fell down, and lay on the ground, Wu Hao picked up the bamboo, and removed the branches at the end of the bamboo one by one with a machete, so a green bamboo pole was held in Wu Hao's hand.

"You try, it's long enough." Wu Hao handed the bamboo pole to Bai Li and said.

Bai Li took it, estimated the distance of the goods in the warehouse, and kept nodding and said that enough was enough, Wu Hao told Bai Li that the bamboo in front of the loquat was made by his father, and after Master Wu learned of their intentions for this trip, he said that if the loquat is made of iron wire, it is not easy to fix, and the front of the bamboo should be cut into strips and braided into a fan-shaped loquat shape.

Wu Hao put down the machete, went straight to the creek and squatted, held the stream water with his hand to wash his sweaty face, suddenly saw a small fish in the water, so he had a plan, and dug out a pit on the side of the creek with his hands, let it naturally pour into the water, leave a hole, take off his shoes, pull up his coat, step into the water and drive the small fish with his hands, Bai Li didn't know what Wu Hao was doing, put down the bamboo and followed, Wu Hao compared a few vocal gestures to her, Bai Li then walked over cautiously, only to see Wu Hao slowly drive a small fish into the puddle that was taken out, Wu Hao immediately plugged the hole left, and the small fish swirled in the puddle.

Bai Li then also learned Wu Hao to take off his shoes and socks and step into the water to catch fish, Wu Hao stood up straight and looked around, ran not far away to find a tattered dustpan in his hand, bent over, looked for it with his eyes, saw the small fish swimming in the water, he inserted the dustpan into the water, freed up a hand to drive the small fish, when he saw the small fish swimming into the basket, quickly lifted the dustpan, the small fish jumped in the dustpan, Wu Hao grabbed the fish with his hand, ran to the edge of the puddle in a few steps, and put the fish in. Bai Li took a handful of baskets from Wu Hao's hand, followed Wu Hao's example to catch fish, and even caught a few, Wu Hao slowly expanded the puddle, so that the fish put in it could swim back and forth freely, and then Wu Hao began to pull away the stones piece by piece to catch crabs, and tied the caught crabs with a kind of sturdy grass growing by the stream, and after a while, a bundle of crabs was tied.

"You are so capable, I have to admire." Bai Li praised sincerely.

"When I was a child, my family was too poor, so I often brought my younger siblings here to catch fish and shrimp, and this crab is my younger siblings' favorite food, so I caught some for them." Wu Hao said while strapping.

"And how do you get this fish back?" Bai Li asked, pointing to the fish in the puddle.

"It's easy to do, you see." Wu Hao stood up as he spoke, ran to the bamboo forest and picked up the bamboo branches that had just been picked up on the ground, removed the bamboo leaves and branches on the top, leaving only the bamboo leaves at the end of the branches, took it and walked over, grabbed a fish from the puddle, and used the bamboo branches to pass through the gills of the fish, and then wiped it down, the small fish was firmly stuck by the bamboo leaves at the end of the branches, Wu Hao put them on one by one, and soon wore two strings of fish, Bai Li finally understood that the fish skewers placed in the vegetable market were actually worn like this.

Wu Hao tied the fish and crabs to the head of the bicycle, Bai Li sat behind and held a bamboo pole, Wu Hao rode a bicycle with Bai Li on the way home, the wind blew their hair and clothes up, breathing the air and flowers in the wild, Bai Li only felt that the mood was extraordinarily happy, and a pair of feet also leisurely swayed with the wind.

"We're back with a full load today, and we can't even hold up our bicycles." Bai Li said loudly.

"You've caught a lot of fish today, and you're learning pretty fast." Wu Hao said.

"You don't know, I was a boy when I was a kid and liked to play around." Bai Li said.

"I really envy you, I have been helping my father with housework since I was a child, and I rarely have to play." Wu Hao said.

"Well, if you need my help in the future, just say it." Bai Li said.

The two quickly returned to the city, Wu Hao sent Bai Li home first, and after Bai Li got out of the car, Wu Hao also got out of the car, pressed the bamboo pole in Bai Li's hand on the back seat, and untied the fish and crabs on the dragon head and prepared to hand them to Bai Li, but Bai Li stopped them.

"I don't need it, you can take all this home and give it to your family." Bai Li shirked and said.

"Then you have to bring a bunch of fish home for your mother to taste." Wu Hao still handed a string of fish to Bai Li.

"Well, okay then." Bai Li nodded in agreement.

"I'll bring you the bamboo pole when I go to work tomorrow, then I'll go, goodbye." Wu Hao turned around and rode his bicycle home.

Bai Li stood with a string of fish and watched Wu Hao ride away before turning around and going home.

The next day, Wu Hao brought the finished bamboo loquat to Bai Li, and the two of them tried to use it in the warehouse, which was really much more convenient. Since then, Bai Li has become more and more fond of Wu Hao, and Wu Hao and Bai Li's words have also increased, because the two of them often come and go, soon, Bai Li and Wu Hao fell in love, except for Master Wu, no one in the department store knew about it.

"What? You actually went to find someone from this kind of family, and you think clearly, you will be the one who will suffer in the future. Bai Li's mother said strongly against it when she found out.

"I just like him, I feel happy with him, what's wrong with that?" Bai Li said.

"I don't expect you to find a talented, but at least you have to be like Magnolia, find someone who doesn't drag you down." Bai Li's mother said.

"Mom, what I don't like to hear the most is that you compare me to Magnolia, I can't compare to Magnolia, and I will never be able to compare, so don't compare, okay?" Bai Li shouted.

"I really don't know if you took the wrong medicine, and you can't listen to it." Bai Li's mother said angrily.

"As long as he treats me well, their family can look up to me and respect me, so what's the matter if it's hard and tired?" Bai Li grabbed Bai's mother and said.

Bai Li's mother knew that she couldn't dissuade Bai Li, so she had to let her go. Although Master Wu in the department store does not have a very good impression of Bai Li, Bai Li is two years older than Wu Hao, but thinking that his family situation is far worse than Bai Li's family, most girls will not choose Wu Hao's friends, but Bai Li not only does not dislike it, but also often takes the initiative to come to the house to help do things, respects the elderly in the family, and cares about Wu Hao's younger brothers and sisters, which makes Master Wu always unhappy, coupled with Bai Li's master-apprentice relationship, Bai Li has more respect for Master Wu, so Master Wu is no longer picky about Bai Li, I think that young people will inevitably have such and such shortcomings, as long as the essence is not bad.

Half a year has passed, Yulan and Chen Gang finished their studies in the party school, and both returned to the ancient city together, Yulan got the attention of the department store leaders, and listed her as the training object of the female cadres of the department store, adjusted from the fabric counter to the office, and became the deputy director of the office, dealing with the daily affairs of the department store every day. Chen Gang was officially transferred from a department store to the Bureau of Commerce, and because of his excellent work, he was soon promoted to deputy director of the Bureau of Commerce, and both of them joined the party together.

Yulan has been busy adapting to the complicated affairs of the office since she came back, and she didn't have time to meet Bai Li, and she was separated for more than half a year, Yulan felt that she had a lot to say to Bai Li, and during her study at the party school, Yulan wrote two letters to Bai Li, but she didn't receive a reply from Bai Li, and she didn't know what Bai Li was busy with. Magnolia also bought Bai Li a pair of green ribbons tied with her hair and a handkerchief printed with animal motifs, wrapped in brown paper and placed in a drawer, ready to give them to Bai Li for an opportunity.

On this day, when Yulan was processing the documents, she saw a document issued by the government, the content of which was about carrying out safety production inspections, so Yulan carefully and carefully investigated the situation of safety production in various positions in the department store, but she was not very clear about the fire prevention equipment Yulan in the department store warehouse, so she decided to go to the warehouse to check it on the spot, and she could also meet Bai Li by the way.

Yulan took out the kraft paper bag from the drawer, came directly to the warehouse, found Bai Li's lounge, stood outside the door and called several times but did not see Bai Li answer, pushed the door open with her hand and looked at it but found that Bai Li was not in the house, Yulan closed the door and looked for it along the warehouse one by one, and finally heard Bai Li's voice in a warehouse with an open door, Yulan didn't know who Bai Li was talking to, so she lightly tried to walk in, covered her body with the goods in the warehouse, poked her head out to take a look, and saw Bai Li squatting on the ground with a male comrade, The gay man was fiddling with the end of a bamboo pole without knowing what to do, and Bai Li squatted on the side and watched intently.

"If you can't fix it, forget it, and then I'll ask the company to make it for me again, and it will be like a nail rake of Zhu Bajie." Bai Li said.

"That kind of nail rake is so heavy that you can't lift a lesbian. Or this kind of bamboo is more suitable. The gay man said.

Yulan looked at the gay man and felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while, seeing that the two of them seemed to have an unusual relationship, Yulan hesitated, not knowing if it was appropriate to walk over at this time.

"This root has been used for a long time, why don't we go to Tieshan Creek again another day, and we can catch fish." Bai Li said.

"Then you can use it for the next two days." Gay man said.

Yulan looked at the brown paper bag in her hand, and felt that it was not good to turn around and leave, in case Bai Li saw it, it would increase the misunderstanding between the two, since they had already come, they would directly give Bai Li the things. So Magnolia came out generously and shouted:

"Bai Li, are you here? Make it easy for me to find. ”

"Yulan, do you have something to do with me?" Bai Li looked up and asked in surprise when she saw Yulan.

"Hello, Director Hong." Wu Hao said.

"You are? I seem to have seen you, but I can't remember anything. Yulan said to Wu Hao.

"His name is Wu Hao, and he is the son of Master Wu, two years younger than us." Bai Li said to Magnolia.

"Oh, I remember, he is Wu Hao who succeeded Chen Gang, I'm sorry." Magnolia said with a smile.

"You're a busy person right now, you don't remember so much. Are you here for something? Bai Li asked.

Yulan handed the brown paper bag in her hand to Bai Li, Bai Li opened the paper bag and looked at it, and said with a shallow smile:

"Thank you for bringing me something."

"It's not just that I brought something, I also wrote to you, but you didn't reply to me, so I looked forward to it." Magnolia said.

Wu Hao saw that the two of them seemed to have a lot to say, so he said goodbye to them and left first. Yulan saw Wu Hao go away, so she asked Bai Li what she was doing on the ground with Wu Hao just now, Bai Li picked up the bamboo pole and gestured to Yulan, Yulan nodded clearly, praised them for their wonderful ideas, and then told Bai Li the intention of coming to the warehouse to check the fire prevention equipment, Bai Li listened, and took Yulan to check the warehouse one by one, Yulan carefully checked the light switch, sluice valve, spare hose and other facilities, while registering in the record book, Bai Li said that there are few people here, and these things are put on the show, and they will not be used for many years. Yulan knew Bai Li's temperament, so she didn't braided her no matter what she said, so she just recorded it carefully. After the inspection, Bai Li and Yulan walked out of the warehouse, closed the warehouse door, locked it, and walked towards the lounge.

"I seem to have heard you say to Wu Hao just now that you are going to Tieshanxi to play, and I haven't gone out to play for a long time, so if you don't take me on the weekend, you are not allowed to play by yourself." Magnolia said.

"As long as you want, I'm afraid you're too busy to play with people like me." Bai Li said teasingly.

"What do you say? When did I dislike you, the dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people. By the way, I have to call Chen Gang at that time, so as not to watch you chatter with Wu Hao and leave me out in the cold. Yulan stretched out her hand and pinched Bai Li's face and said.

"I think you want to deliberately fall in love with Chen Gang in front of me to get angry with me, who doesn't know that you are a heavenly match in the business system." Bai Li said angrily.

"I think this Wu Hao is very good, who can usually be put down in your Bai Li's eyes, it is rare to see which gay man you are so close to, not to mention that he is your master's son." Magnolia approached Bai Li and said.

"Just because he is my master's son, my mother ...... her" Bai Li wanted to say but stopped.

Yulan saw Bai Li say half of the words, so she asked her, Bai Li thought about it, and simply told Yulan that her mother did not agree with her falling in love with Wu Hao, Yulan was very sympathetic to her, and comforted her not to worry, take her time, as long as Wu Hao is sincerely good to her, her mother will change her mind sooner or later.

On this weekend, Yulan pulled Chen Gang to come to Zhusheng Bridge early to wait, Chen Gang parked his bicycle at the railing of the bridge, and stood on the side of the bridge with Yulan to enjoy the scenery along the riverbank, Chen Gang pointed to the Longtou Mountain in the distance and told Yulan, saying that the ancient city is going to prepare to build a railway, and the railroad tracks will pass along the edge of the ancient city, and when the train is passed, it will be more convenient to go out, and then you can take the train from the ancient city to Beijing. Yulan was ecstatic, saying that the last time she went to study at the party school, she didn't have the opportunity to go out with the students to see the train, and she didn't know what the train looked like when it was low, and she still regretted it. Chen Gang said that at that time, the train will pass through the city from the ancient city every day, and she will see enough.

The two were talking, only to see Bai Li and Wu Hao pushing a bicycle coming, followed by a man and a woman and two children, the man was holding a small spoon, and the woman was holding a small teapot, and when they got closer, Yulan took the initiative to introduce Wu Hao to Chen Gang, Chen Gang stretched out his hand and shook Wu Hao, Wu Hao turned around and embarrassedly introduced a man and a woman who followed behind to Yulan and Chen Gang.

"This is my brother and sister, I heard that we are going to Tieshan Creek, and they clamored to come with them, but they can't get rid of them." Wu Hao said.

"Why do you want to get rid of them? Out of the way. Magnolia said.

"yes, I said it's the weekend, so let's take them out to play." Bai Li said.

"It's okay, it's just right, we have two bicycles, three in one car." Chen Gang said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother and sister, we will be obedient." The younger brother and sister happily thanked them with something in their hands.

"Come on, let's get in the car." Chen Gang said.

So Yulan walked over and pulled her sister, hugged her and sat on the front bar of Chen Gang's bicycle, Chen Gang pushed the bicycle, and then stepped on the bike, Yulan followed behind and trotted two steps and jumped on the back seat of the bicycle, the three of them went forward, Wu Hao picked up his younger brother on the bicycle, and then he also rode up, Bai Li also jumped on the bicycle like Magnolia, so the two bicycles carried six people towards Tieshan Creek.

"Little sister, what are you doing with this teapot?" Chen Gang asked his sister while riding.

"Take it for crabs, I like crabs the most." The younger sister replied innocently.

"Aren't you afraid of crabs pinching your hands?" Magnolia asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, my brother will help me tie it up, and the crab can't catch me." My sister said as she turned her head to look at Wu Hao.

"Sister, I want to catch more fish and shrimp today, and make soup for grandma and mother." The younger brother said loudly.

"Don't you catch crabs? I want to eat crabs. My sister also said loudly.

"We have to catch it, we have to catch it for grandma and mother first, or the brothers won't take us out next time." The younger brother said loudly.

"My brother is really sensible, next time your brother doesn't bring you out, I'll take you out to play, okay?" Bai Li smiled and encouraged them.

"It's noisy enough to have both of them, and you're still coaxing." Wu Hao said to Bai Li.

"Little swallow, dressed in flowers, comes here every spring." My sister sang happily to herself.

Yulan and Bai Li also sang loudly with their sister, Chen Gang and Wu Hao rode happily, and the two of them chased me forward alternately, and their laughter was heard from time to time along the way, resounding in the valley.

Yulan and Bai Li also sang loudly with their sister, Chen Gang and Wu Hao rode happily, and the two of them chased me forward alternately, and their laughter was heard from time to time along the way, resounding in the valley.

After arriving at Tieshan Creek, the group got out of the car and walked along the Tiankan path, Wu Hao pushed the bicycle in front to lead the way, Bai Li pulled her younger brother to follow, Yulan pulled her sister to walk forward carefully, Chen Gang pushed the bicycle and walked at the end, when they saw the pebble beach, the younger brother and sister spread their legs and ran towards the rocky beach, squatted by the stream and began to catch fish and shrimp, Yulan and Bai Li shouted at the two of them to run slower, beware of falling, the two slowed down slightly, and walked towards the stream hand in hand, so that Bai Li couldn't help but say that they were really obedient, Yulan reminded her that she couldn't break her promise and that she would take them with her wherever she went in the future, and Bai Li winked at Yulan embarrassedly.

Chen Gang and Wu Hao found a place to park their bicycles, Wu Hao took out a machete and walked towards the bamboo forest as usual, Chen Gang followed him, Yulan and Bai Li also followed, the four of them walked to the edge of the bamboo forest where they had cut the bamboo last time, circled around the bamboo forest canopy, and selected a longer bamboo together, Wu Hao waved the machete and cut it, Chen Gang looked puzzled, didn't understand what Wu Hao was cutting bamboo for, and after Yulan told him softly, Chen Gang nodded, and walked over to help Wu Hao pull the bamboo, Yulan and Bai Li stood on the side and watched.

"Wu Hao, see you're sweating profusely, take a rest." Bai Li said.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." Wu Hao paused and continued to chop.

"You take a break and let me try." Chen Gang walked over and said.

"It's really fine." Wu Hao said to Chen Gang.

Chen Gang took Wu Hao's hand, Wu Hao had to stop, the two of them pulled for a while, Wu Hao finally handed the machete to Chen Gang, Chen Gang picked up the machete, and slashed it with a knife like Wu Hao, but there was not much progress.

"Alas, it's been a long time since I've done this job, and I'm laughing at you." Chen Gang stopped and said with a smile.

"I have become a leader and have detached myself from the masses." Bai Li said teasingly.

"Your mouth is just unforgiving, or I'll try it." Magnolia said.

"Don't, don't, don't, you're also a leader, or I'll come." Bai Li rushed over without saying anything, took the machete from Chen Gang's hand, and cut it down according to the mark that Wu Hao had cut, the momentum was really a bit of a gay man's fierceness, Chen Gang looked at Bai Li and nodded approvingly, Yulan told Bai Li to take it easy, don't hurt her waist, Bai Li just waved the machete and cut hard, and when the bamboo was in a state of falling, Yulan walked over and pulled the bamboo with Chen Gang, Wu Hao pulled Bai Li, no matter what she said, she didn't agree to let her cut again, Chen Gang also helped persuade Bai Li, Bai Li stopped and handed the machete to Wu Hao, Wu Hao then slashed a few times, and finally cut off the root of the bamboo.

The four of them dragged the bamboo to the pebble beach together, Wu Hao lifted the root of the bamboo to remove the branches on the bamboo, Wu Hao's younger brother and sister shouted loudly and told them to go over to see the crabs, small fish and small shrimp they caught, so Chen Gang, Yulan and Bai Li trotted over, squatted by the creek around the sister's teapot, and saw that it was filled with a big crab and some small fish and shrimp, and the sister was playing with a wooden stick, Chen Gang, Yulan and Bai Li were also interested for a while, took off their shoes and socks, and stepped into the water with their younger brother to catch fish and shrimp, After a while, Chen Gang caught a small fish, and after a while, Yulan held a pair of small shrimp in both hands, Bai Li learned Wu Hao to dig a pit by the stream, and let them put the fish and shrimp they caught. I didn't return until the sun was about to set.
