Zhao Yue quickly trotted out from the inner room with a bright smile on her face.
"Xia Xia, you really came to see me."
She eagerly grabbed Xu Zhixia's hand and acted coquettishly.
In fact, every time she faced Xu Zhixia, she would feel inferior and felt that they were not from the same world.
Although she asked Xu Zhixia to be her friend, she was still hesitant.
However, Xu Zhixia came to see her today, which completely dispelled her worries.
Xu Zhixia was a little amused and said helplessly: "I want to go shopping. Do you have time to join me?"
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up, and before she could finish her words, she nodded hurriedly: "Of course I have time. Even if I don't have time, I can still make time."
She said she wouldn't be home for lunch, then pulled Xu Zhixia out.
"By the way, Xia Xia, what do you want to buy?" she asked frankly.
Xu Zhixia paused, but quickly returned to normal, so Zhao Yue didn't notice.
"I want to buy some books." She said in a low voice.
She thought about it for a long time before making this decision.
It was only after she became an elementary school teacher that she remembered that the college entrance examination would be resumed in a few years.
In that case, we should start reviewing now.
When Zhao Yue heard her say this, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She looked hesitant and hesitantly advised: "Buy books? Or forget it, if we get caught..."
The rest of the words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
Xu Zhixia was not surprised. If Zhao Yue agreed directly, she would have found it strange.
She said firmly, "Yueyue, I have made my decision."
"If it's inconvenient for you, just tell me where to buy it and go there yourself."
After hearing the word Yueyue, Zhao Yue felt a little light-headed.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a silly smile.
Xu Zhixia had always called her Comrade Zhao before, but this was the first time she called her Xia Xia...
It’s just buying books, it’s not a big deal.
Zhao Yue, who was hesitant just now, suddenly came to her senses and straightened her back a little.
"That's not inconvenient at all, but what kind do you want to buy?"
Xu Zhixia said, "I want to pick something myself, preferably something related to study."
After a pause, she added, "I forgot to tell you, I became a teacher on the island, but I feel that my ability is still lacking, so I want to continue studying."
After hearing this reason, Zhao Yue was completely relieved.
She was sincerely happy for Xu Zhixia: "Xia Xia, you are so amazing."
"I actually know a place that might have the books you want, and the price is very cheap."
Her playful wink aroused Xu Zhixia's curiosity.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yue brought Xu Zhixia to their destination.
Looking at the scene before her eyes, Xu Zhixia suddenly realized, how could she have forgotten this place?
"Uncle, I brought my friends here."
Zhao Yue shouted towards the bungalow nearby, and a man in his forties walked out.
His hair was gray, his back was hunched, and he was looking over here while yawning.
Zhao Yue introduced quietly, "This is my second uncle. He's a nice guy, but his temper is... a little weird."
"You girl, are you talking bad about me behind my back again?" Uncle Zhao raised his eyebrows and pretended to hit someone.
Zhao Yue was not afraid either. He smiled and said, "Second Uncle, this is my friend Xu Zhixia. He just came to the island to join the army."
"She became an elementary school teacher and wanted to continue her studies. She came to see if you had anything good."
Uncle Zhao's scrutinizing gaze fell on Xu Zhixia, his eyes half-closed, as if trying to see what Xu Zhixia was thinking.
Xu Zhixia did not back down either. She smiled brightly and stood there, letting Uncle Zhao look at her.
After a moment, Uncle Zhao withdrew his gaze, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Fatty Zhao, you may not be good at other things, but your vision in making friends is pretty good." He said nonchalantly.
A blush welled up on Zhao Yue's face, spreading all the way to her ears.
She stamped her feet in shame and anger: "Second Uncle, how many times have I told you not to call me by my nickname?"
Especially how could she yell in front of Xu Zhixia? She glanced at Xu Zhixia's expression and saw that she didn't show any intention of mocking her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't like the nickname Fatty at all, because she was often bullied because of it.
Uncle Zhao laughed out loud: "Okay, the little girl has grown up and has her own temper."
He changed the subject: "I do have what you need, but let me make it clear first, one thing is another. If you want to take it away, you have to pay for it."
Although he is just a janitor, he still has to abide by the above rules and cannot open the back door at will.
But there is no need to explain this to the two little girls in front of me.
Zhao Yue pouted in dissatisfaction, and just when she was about to say something, Xu Zhixia stopped her.
"Uncle, I won't be polite either. I'll call you Uncle along with Yueyue."
"I understand that every profession has its own merits, and I won't make it difficult for you."
"As long as I like it, I will exchange it for money."
After a pause, she pointed to the garbage pile on the other side and said, "But can I also exchange that pile of things?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Uncle Zhao's eyes. He didn't expect that Xu Zhixia was a connoisseur.
Coincidentally, these wooden shelves were delivered a few days ago.
If Xu Zhixia and the others had come later, they wouldn't have been able to see this.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
These things will be worth a lot of money in the future.
If anyone else wanted it, he would definitely not agree. But since Zhao Yue brought it here, it's not impossible.
Thinking of this, he readily agreed: "Sure, as long as you can pay, you can take it all away when the time comes."
Xu Zhixia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.
After Uncle Zhao took them to a corner, he lazily went back.
A pile of books formed a small mountain, which was filled with an unpleasant smell under the sunlight.
Zhao Yue's face looked unhappy. Just as she was about to complain, she saw Xu Zhixia squatting down and searching.
She quickly squatted down and asked, "Xia Xia, what type of book do you want? I'll help you."
Xu Zhixia subconsciously refused: "No, you are dressed so beautifully today, you can't get dirty with me."
Zhao Yue waved her hand nonchalantly: "We are friends. I will help you find it as soon as possible so that we can leave earlier."
When Xu Zhixia thought about it, she named a few textbooks.
The two of them squatted in the garbage dump and searched intently.
It wasn't until the sun climbed overhead that Xu Zhixia finally said, "Yueyue, okay, let's stop here for today."
