Chapter 78 Going to the Captain's House for Dinner



Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing wrong with bartering, and the child was too sensible to refuse.

Lin Xiaoxiao said to Da Niu, "We can exchange it for White Rabbit candy, but soaking White Rabbit candy in milk is ultimately useless. I have some malted milk powder here, I can exchange some for Da Niu."

"Is what you said true, Lin Zhiqing?" When Wang the carpenter heard Lin Xiaoxiao say this, his smile widened. He felt that this new educated youth was really different; she was easy to talk to and warm-hearted.

When Da Niu heard that he could exchange it for malted milk powder, he immediately jumped up and kept asking her how much firewood she needed and if she could exchange it for things from her house.

If possible, what can we use to exchange for it?

Anything they can afford, they will definitely give to her.

The family sighs all day long because of their younger sister, fearing that she won't be able to take good care of herself and that she might have health problems.

"Really, if I say I can exchange it, I can exchange it." Lin Xiaoxiao was also infected by Da Niu's happy spirit, and a smile appeared on her face as well.

She said to Da Niu, "What my sister needs most right now is firewood. You can have your family bring some over to me tomorrow."

"Also, if you guys collect firewood, you can bring it over and trade it with me for fruit candies. If you collect a lot, you can also trade it for White Rabbit candies."

"Da Niu, if you have any mountain produce at home, you can exchange it for them."

Da Niu was even happier when he heard that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted mountain products, and he kept remembering what Lin Xiaoxiao had said.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to take two wooden basins and a water ladle home, the children offered to take them for her, and the other children followed suit.

Finally, Lin Xiaoxiao bought all the odds and ends for the children.

After arriving home, Da Niu told Lin Xiaoxiao and then ran home like the wind to tell the adults.

The other children also went along, making a lot of noise.

It was already getting dark.

Lin Xiaoxiao put down her things and went back to her room, where she took out half a pound of brown sugar and some mung bean cakes.

After taking out these two items, Lin Xiaoxiao packed up and prepared to go to Captain Wang's house for dinner.

It takes about 7 or 8 minutes to walk from the yard to Captain Wang's house.

When they arrived at Captain Wang's house, Lin Xiaoxiao called out and went inside.

Captain Wang and Wang Dazhuang, who were talking inside, stopped talking and hadn't come out yet when Lin Xiaoxiao came in.

Lin Xiaoxiao said a little embarrassedly, "I just went to Wang the carpenter's to buy some furniture and forgot about the time. I made you wait for me."

Captain Wang, who wanted his son to pick them up, quickly waved his hand: "It's alright, we eat late anyway."

A girl standing behind Captain Wang looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with curiosity and envy in her eyes, thinking that the educated youth from the city was so beautiful.

Unlike them, who work every day and have dark skin.

Because Lin Xiaoxiao had removed her disguise and had been drinking spiritual spring water every day, her skin had unknowingly become fairer.

Because I've been eating well, I've gained some weight in my face. Although I'm still thin, my cheeks no longer give the impression of malnutrition as they did at first.

In addition, after arriving here, Lin Xiaoxiao relaxed completely, and spoke with a smile. She's not a stunning beauty now, but she's very pleasing to the eye.

Captain Wang noticed the look in his daughter's eyes, called her over, and introduced her to Lin Xiaoxiao: "This is my youngest daughter, Wang Chunhua. She went to the county town today, so she won't be back until tonight."

Lin Xiaoxiao greeted Wang Chunhua: "Hello, Comrade Wang, I am Lin Xiaoxiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After realizing what was happening, Wang Chunhua immediately smiled and said, "Hello, hello Lin Zhiqing, you can just call me Chunhua."

"I'm 18 this year, how old are you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Just like you, I'm 18 this year."

Wang Chunhua: "We're the same age..."

Wang Chunhua has a very outgoing personality, and the two quickly started chatting.

"This must be the educated youth Lin that the child's father mentioned. I didn't expect you to be so capable and so good-looking." Aunt Li brought out a dish of pork stew with vermicelli.

After putting down the dishes, Aunt Li brought out a bowl of rock sugar steamed egg for Lin Xiaoxiao: "There's still one dish that's not ready yet. Eat this first to fill your stomach."

"We don't have anything special, so we can only offer you an egg."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly gave her what she had brought. This sponge cake was a precious item, and it was made with rock sugar and eggs, which was a very high-class treat for guests.

"Auntie, I'm here to eat. I'm so sorry to have troubled you. These eggs are top-quality; they're a real delicacy even in our city."

"This is something I brought from Beijing. Aunties, you can try it."

Aunt Li and Lin Xiaoxiao tried to persuade her to give up, but when they couldn't, they accepted the gift, thinking it was just some snacks. They were surprised to find a packet of brown sugar inside.

Brown sugar is a good thing; this gift from Lin Zhiqing is really too heavy.

Aunt Li did all these things based on what her husband told her; she wasn't really keen on interacting with the educated youth herself.

What good educated youth came here?

They were all from the city, very spoiled, and loved to cause trouble. A couple of years ago, one of the educated youth couldn't stand the hardship and actually tried to seduce his own daughter.

If it were a good one, that would be fine, but that educated youth was just lazy and good-for-nothing.

Fortunately, they discovered the problem in time and arranged a marriage for their daughter, which brought peace back to the family.
