When Xiuxiu got to the yard, she found that the little wild donkey was still missing. She went to the stable and pulled the little wild donkey out.
"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, let's go home."
"Awoo~"
"Meow~"
"Comrade Xiuxiu, Comrade Xiuxiu."
Xu Huayun, holding a book, quickly chased after her.
He ran to the sled, handed the book in his hand to Xiuxiu, and said, “Comrade Xiuxiu, I see you like this book, so take it and read it. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”
"Also, please tell Comrade Lu for me that you are very grateful."
Xiuxiu didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the book from her.
She glanced at Old Xu and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No...that's all."
"Giddy up!"
Xiuxiu patted the little wild donkey and immediately left.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Xu Huayun scratched his head, then suddenly remembered something and quickly called out, "Comrade Xiuxiu, thank you too, it's really kind of you to make this trip."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
On the sled, Xiuxiu pouted and looked back again.
The wind on the grassland gradually picked up, even blowing the snowflakes on the ground.
The little wild donkey pulled the sled with difficulty.
After being frozen outside for more than half an hour, Xiuxiu finally returned to the breeding farm.
Hearing the noise in the storage room, Lu Fangfang quickly called Xiuxiu inside.
"The things have been delivered? Is Old Xu home this time?"
"At home, sis, you have no idea how funny Old Man is. He can't even light a fire properly; smoke keeps billowing into the house. He even pours water under the pot. I really don't know who taught him that..."
Xiuxiu spoke with great interest about what happened at Lao Xu's place.
“I was inside, but he didn’t dare to light a fire. If I hadn’t heard his stomach growling, I would have liked to stay a little longer. He’s a bit slow.”
Lu Fangfang couldn't help but laugh as she listened.
Old Xu isn't stupid; he's just very polite.
Seeing that Xiuxiu was still holding a book, she took it and looked at it, and found that it was a fifth-grade Chinese textbook.
"Sis, this is from Lao Xu. He said it's no longer needed and that if I don't understand anything, I should ask him."
"Hey, keep this safe. Return it to Old Xu after you've finished reading it. This book will be useful in a few years."
Lu Fangfang listened and sighed again.
She turned around, poured some hot water, and handed it to Xiuxiu.
She walked to the door and looked outside. She saw that the wind was blowing very hard. She went back to the stove, found some potatoes, and started roasting them.
In this awful weather, nothing beats sitting in front of the stove, eating and drinking.
"Oh, right, sis, Lao Xu also asked me to thank you."
...
On the train to Linshui, Zhang Honghua was not in the same good mood as the two sisters.
She clutched her stomach, her face pale, and her stomach was churning with acid.
It's been four days since we left Zhangye, but the train has only traveled halfway. It's much, much slower than when we came. She even suspects that Lu Fangfang did it on purpose, deliberately buying the slowest train ticket.
"Train conductor, when will we arrive?"
"Yes, yes, I have something urgent to attend to."
"It's almost here. The train was a bit slow on the way because of snow in many places, but it's speeding up now."
"How many days is 'soon'?"
"It will take two or three days. Please be patient, comrades."
The train conductor comforted everyone and then went to another train carriage.
Zhang Honghua, sitting in a hard seat, turned even paler upon hearing this.
"I should have known better than to throw away the things she gave me."
A few days ago, Zhang Honghua was forced onto the train by Aunt Zhuang and Xiuxiu. In a fit of anger, she threw the pancake out of the train window and was scolded by the train conductor for it.
Now, touching her empty stomach, she was filled with regret.
