"Um... Miss, I'd like to ask, is Comrade Lu here?"
Xiuxiu was shoveling snow in front of the farm.
Hearing someone call her name, she turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance she had met twice before.
"Old Xu, right? I'm also Comrade Lu. Which Comrade Lu are you looking for?"
"Are you also Comrade Lu?"
Xu Huayun was taken aback. He scratched his head and stared at Xiuxiu carefully.
He immediately realized his behavior was inappropriate and quickly looked away, saying, "I'm looking for Comrade Lu Fangfang."
"Who are you? My sister went to the troupe, what do you want with her?"
"My name is Xu Huayun, I'm here to..."
Xu Huayun stopped mid-sentence.
He looked at Xiuxiu again and found that her eyebrows and eyes really did look a bit like Comrade Lu's.
"Comrade Xu Huayun, you still haven't told me why you're looking for my sister."
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Xiuxiu suppressed her laughter.
"Oh, then you..."
"My name is Lu Xiuxiu."
Xu Huayun memorized the name.
He carried a half-basket of eggs and handed it to Xiuxiu, saying, "Comrade Xiuxiu, I've come to deliver these eggs. Since Comrade Lu isn't here, you can accept them."
Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand; with her sister not around, she dared not accept anything casually.
Seeing this, Xu Huayun placed half a basket of eggs directly in front of her.
These eggs were all raised on the corn that Comrade Lu gave him; one cannot be heartless.
"Comrade Xiuxiu, please tell Comrade Lu that I have something to do in my team, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Xu Huayun turned and left.
"Hey? Hey? Old Xu, you can't just leave like this!"
Seeing this, Xiuxiu was at a loss for what to do.
Ahead, Xu Huayun quickened her pace.
Xiuxiu picked up the basket, watched Lao Xu walk away, and then put it down helplessly.
Forget it, let me worry about this.
Thinking about what she saw at Lao Xu's house yesterday, she called out to the distance, "Lao Xu, the snowman you built is really ugly. Look at the one I built."
Xu Huayun was taken aback. He looked back and saw that the roadside was full of snowmen of different sizes, which were indeed much better looking than the one he had built at home.
He scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I just piled them up randomly, I didn't put any effort into it."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
"If you don't know how to stack, then you should just do it. Why won't you admit it?"
Xiuxiu watched him walk away, then picked up her basket and went to the farm.
It's cold now, and she's worried the eggs will freeze; it's a token of their kindness.
...
"Don't worry, Xiao Lu, Commander Zhuang should be back in the next couple of days."
Lu Fangfang forced a smile.
After delivering the quail eggs, she went to ask about her husband.
Snow fell throughout the Qilian Mountains, telephone lines were cut off, and even the regiment didn't know which outpost he was at, let alone when he would return.
There's nothing she can do now but wait.
"sister."
In front of the farm, Xiuxiu saw her sister return and quickly waved.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Fangfang told Lan Ying to go back first, then got off the donkey cart and walked to Xiuxiu.
Turning my head, I saw that the snow on the roadside had been piled up by Xiuxiu and the little kids into a snow house more than a meter high, which looked quite nice.
"Sister, Old Xu just came by. He left half a basket of eggs and then left."
"Old Xu is here?"
Lu Fangfang was somewhat surprised.
She turned her head and looked down at the road, but there was no one in sight.
"You accepted the eggs?"
“I didn’t want it, but he put it down and ran away.”
When Xiuxiu thought about it, she still thought he was silly. Who gives gifts like that?
"Well, let it be. After all, it's his good intention."
Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head; this was something Old Xu was capable of doing.
He called Xiuxiu back to the farm, where she found the eggs Lao Xu had given her and discovered there were quite a few.
Old Xu was already struggling financially, and now...
"Xiuxiu, I'll get some oil tomorrow, can you deliver it to him for me? He's been sent down to the countryside and doesn't have any oil to eat."
"Why."
Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.
Thinking about Old Xu's house, she was quite interested, wondering what was inside that dark house.
afternoon.
Lu Fangfang went to check the yard and found that the little wild donkey was also gone.
As she walked to the courtyard gate, she saw Tie Dan and his little ones feeding a wild donkey carrots.
The little wild donkey wagged its tail and ate happily.
"My turn, my turn."
After being fed, Daya and Tiedan cheered and hurriedly sat on the sled.
"Little donkey, we're all set, now pull us along."
The little wild donkey chewed on the remaining carrots and pulled the two of them to the pasture.
The remaining children stood at the intersection, watching with envy.
Lu Fangfang stood behind the little ones, laughing uncontrollably. She really hadn't expected that the little wild donkeys could work and support themselves.
After a while, when the little wild donkey returned with Tiedan and Daya, she quickly waved her hand, telling the little ones to go back.
The sun has set, and the wind is quite cold; we mustn't let them catch a cold.
"Oh...ah..."
Seeing the children leave, the little wild donkey was still a little unhappy, and it quickly nudged Lu Fangfang.
"You big glutton, your belly is already bulging like this! You'll get stuffed if you eat any more."
Lu Fangfang grabbed its ear and went back to the breeding farm.
After working in the shed for a while, Sister Shufen arrived quickly. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Fangfang called Xiuxiu to go home.
