Chapter 11 - Eye to eye

"Alright, it's time, time to get to work," the woman abruptly changed the subject.

"I'm Lu Hao, what's your name?"

"Call me Xiao Yue."

As the woman spoke, she had already run out of the playground.

Lu Hao didn't think much more about it and went to the township government after washing up back at the dormitory.

In the morning, the poverty alleviation office suddenly had six or seven unexpected visitors who came in and demanded that all the poverty alleviation materials be moved out for inspection.

Strangely, everyone in the poverty alleviation office was extremely nervous except for Lu Hao.

After listening for a while, Lu Hao realized that this was a surprise inspection by the county poverty alleviation audit team, focusing on checking the poverty alleviation materials.

Song Bo, as the director, accompanied and spoke with them throughout the process, but his forehead was sweating profusely.

Lu Hao had just arrived at the poverty alleviation office and was not clear about many of the previous matters, but from Song Bo's expression, he could guess that there was likely a problem with the county poverty alleviation audit team's investigation.

As the county poverty alleviation audit team continued to press with their questions, Song Bo's face became increasingly ugly, constantly wiping his forehead.

Niu Da Shan was also present, muttering and cursing quietly.

The surprise inspection lasted until the afternoon.

Song Bo followed behind the audit team, talking so much that his lips were worn out.

Once the auditors got on the car and left, Song Bo hurriedly ran towards Zhao Gang's office.

This time, things were not good; he had to find a scapegoat quickly, or he would be done for.

Seeing Song Bo's actions, Niu Da Shan, with a gloomy face, also went upstairs, but he went to the office of the township head, Li Haotian.

The remaining people in the poverty alleviation office couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"It seems the county poverty alleviation audit team must have heard some news, or they wouldn't have conducted a surprise inspection."

"This time, someone is likely to take the blame, as many of the materials are fake."

"Who do you think will be unlucky? Niu or Song?"

Listening to these words, Lu Hao felt that there was a lot of information here.

Anxing County is a poor county, and every year, a significant amount of poverty alleviation funds are allocated to various townships.

It's impossible that there is no corruption involved, and it seems that Fangshui Township has been targeted by the poverty alleviation audit team.

After work, when Lu Hao returned to the township middle school, he met Xiao Yue again at the entrance.

"Quite a coincidence, what did you buy?" Seeing Xiao Yue carrying a bag, Lu Hao greeted with a smile.

"I bought some vegetables and tools to unclog the drain. My bathroom drain is somehow blocked. By the way, do you know how to fix it? Would you help me unclog it?"

"Sure, I'll give it a try."

"You agreed so readily, people might think you have ulterior motives for coming to my house."

Seeing Xiao Yue laugh, Lu Hao blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you wrong me again, I won't go."

"Alright, I'm just teasing, let's go."

Xiao Yue smiled lightly and entered the school with Lu Hao.

She didn't live in the school dormitory but in the family building built by the school a few years ago, where some teachers even bought houses.

After entering Xiao Yue's home, Lu Hao found it was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, nearly ninety square meters in size, with nice decoration, and furniture, home appliances, and kitchen utensils were all complete.

The house was also very clean, with a fragrance in the living room that smelled the same as Xiao Yue.

As he approached the bathroom, Lu Hao smelled a stench wafting out.

Seeing Xiao Yue about to open the door, Lu Hao stopped her: "You don't need to go in, I'll handle it, don't get yourself dirty."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"It's a small matter."

Lu Hao took the air pump toilet plunger, commonly known as a plunger, that Xiao Yue bought and pushed open the bathroom door.

The sewer was indeed blocked, and the dirty water was constantly flowing back, smelling terrible.

He was just about to start when he inadvertently saw a woman's just-changed intimate clothes on the washing machine.

Lace with hollow patterns, black bottoms, following fashion, very tempting.

Lu Hao just looked for a few seconds when the bathroom door was suddenly opened, startling him.

"I knew you would stare, do you want me to give it to you?" Xiao Yue said on purpose.

"This bathroom is so small, you put it in such a conspicuous place, I can hardly help but see it." Lu Hao blushed and argued.

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes and took the clothes away.

Lu Hao's face was embarrassed, and he felt that in front of Xiao Yue, he would always lose in verbal sparring.

A few minutes later, Lu Hao finally unblocked the sewer, and the dirty water flowed down, and he also cleaned Xiao Yue's bathroom.

After everything was done, Lu Hao realized that he was dirty and smelled.

"Damn, how do I go out like this?"

Lu Hao couldn't help but curse, even he felt a bit disgusted, and going out like this would definitely make Xiao Yue's house smell terrible.

He decided to take off his clothes, wash them under the tap, and then take a shower, planning to go home in wet clothes later.

Just as he started washing, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

"How's it going? If you can't unblock it, forget it, maybe I'll find a professional tomorrow..."

Xiao Yue said as she walked in.

The next second, they looked at each other.

Lu Hao was immediately stunned, unable to cover up or down, and could only turn around慌乱地 to face Xiao Yue with his backside.

"Taking a bath already, you... really treat my house as your own." Xiao Yue reacted, blushing and then quickly closed the door.

Lu Hao's face turned red, wishing he could escape down the sewer, cursing himself for taking a shower without locking the door.

He didn't care if he was clean enough, hastily wrung out his clothes, put them on, and left.

Seeing Xiao Yue sitting on the sofa, Lu Hao didn't dare to look directly, awkwardly saying, "I... I'm leaving first, to change clothes."

"Oh, you're shy now?" Seeing Lu Hao's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Hao was even more embarrassed and ran away directly.

"Hey, after changing clothes, remember to come for dinner, I'm treating you to meat braised noodles tonight."

"Okay!"

Lu Hao responded, running even faster.

Half an hour later, he came back to Xiao Yue's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of meat braise, which made Lu Hao, who was already hungry, even more eager to eat.

"Eat while it's hot, I also stir-fried tomatoes and eggs." Xiao Yue smiled and invited Lu Hao, pouring two glasses of juice.

Seeing Xiao Yue talking as if nothing had happened before, Lu Hao was no longer embarrassed and started eating.

The meat braised noodles were light but not greasy, with a few pieces of green vegetables, and the tomatoes and eggs were salty, and the taste was very good.

During the meal, Lu Hao looked around Xiao Yue's house.

Oven, bread machine, juicer, and even a coffee machine, many things that only appeared in big cities, all bought by Xiao Yue, which seemed a bit out of place in the poor place of Fangshui Township.

"Xiao Yue, you're not from our county, are you?" Lu Hao asked.

As soon as his voice fell, his phone rang, it was Fang Jing, which made Lu Hao subconsciously a bit nervous.

But thinking that he and Xiao Yue had nothing, Lu Hao answered the call calmly.

"Lu Hao, I've transferred all the procedures to the county middle school, and I'll start teaching at the county middle school tomorrow."

On the phone, Fang Jing's voice was excited: "It's up to you now, you must find a way to promote to deputy section level, so that my parents will approve of you, and we can get married and go further."
