Chapter 10: Rebirth as an Orphan (Part 4)
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Uncle Zhang's door, she saw a woman about forty years old with a gentle temperament walking out.
She thought that this person must be Uncle Zhang's lover, so she immediately smiled and said, "Hello, auntie, I'm sorry to bother you today."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Zhang walked up to her and took her hand to lead her into the house, saying as she walked, "Why are you being polite? In the future, just come over whenever you want to eat something. You don't have to be polite to me."
Through a brief contact, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that the other person was a straightforward person who would say what he thought without beating around the bush. It was easiest to get along with such a person.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the house, she saw a girl who was a few years older than her doing needlework. So she called her sister sweetly, took out a hair band and handkerchief from her bag, handed them to her and said, "Sister, these hair bands and handkerchiefs are from me for you and Auntie."
Zhang Fang took a look at the thing Lu Xiaoxiao handed her and waved her hand, saying that it was too expensive and she couldn't accept it.
After hearing what Zhang Fang said, Lu Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, I didn't even bother to come to your house for dinner. Now I give something to my sister but she won't accept it. I won't dare to come to your house anymore in the future."
When Aunt Zhang heard what Lu Xiaoxiao had said, the mother and daughter had no choice but to put the things away.
The meal was ready soon. There were three dishes in total and a pot of three-grain flour steamed buns. The dishes were pork stewed with vermicelli, fried vegetarian meatballs and a braised fish. It was rare to eat meat at this time, and even if there was meat, it was eaten secretly by family members. From these dishes, she could feel the family's concern for her.
During the meal, Aunt Zhang asked Lu Xiaoxiao what her future plans were. After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Lu Xiaoxiao told her that she was going to move into the house.
When Aunt Zhang heard that Lu Xiaoxiao was moving tomorrow, she said that she and Sister Xiaofang would go over to help tomorrow.
The meal was soon over. Lu Xiaoxiao said goodbye to the family and walked towards home. As they lived in the same compound, the distance between them was not very far. When she was almost home, she saw a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old sitting under a tree.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked closer out of curiosity and found that the other person had injuries on his face. Perhaps he sensed someone coming, so he raised his head and looked at her with cold and sharp eyes.
At first, Lu Xiaoxiao was startled, not by his eyes, but by the fact that a young man could have such a sharp look. However, she reacted within a few seconds.
Lu Xiaoxiao somehow took out two White Rabbit candies from her cloth bag and handed them to him. Seeing that he looked at them but didn't take them, she walked up to him, put the candies on his lap and said, "Dad said that if you eat candies when you're unhappy, your heart will feel as sweet as the candies, and you won't be unhappy anymore."
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for the other party to respond. As she walked away, she complained in her heart that it was too uncomfortable to talk like an 8-year-old child.
At this time, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know that these two candies and a few words had completely tied her to the other party.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao rested for a while. Seeing that it was still early, she planned to pack up some things. She went to the original owner's room first, and then she put most of the original owner's things into the space, leaving only clothes and quilts.
After Lu Xiaoxiao packed up the original owner's things, she went to the original owner's parents' room. She also put most of the things into the space and left only the quilt and clothes.
The next place they went to was the kitchen. Lu Xiaoxiao saw that on the countertop there were some seasonings, pots and pans, and a cupboard on the side, which contained about 5 kilograms of rice, about 3 kilograms of flour, and some miscellaneous grains. There were some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage on the floor against the wall. She had no space for these things.
Returning to the living room, Lu Xiaoxiao saw a cabinet. She opened it and saw two cans of malted milk and several canned fruits, as well as some egg cakes and dried sweet potatoes. These were probably the snacks that the original owner usually ate.
Lu Xiaoxiao put all the food in the cupboard into the space, then looked around and saw that there was nothing to clean up, so she slipped into the space to take a shower and sleep. The mess outside these days made her have no time to clean up, so she planned to rest in the space. Fortunately, it was safer in this era without cameras.
