Chapter 125 Going to the City (Part 2)
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the meat in the kitchen and wondered whether Zhang Xu had taken it away, so she got off the kang and walked towards the kitchen.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen and saw that the two buckets of meat and a large bag of steamed buns where the meat was originally placed were gone. Instead, there was a basket of peaches and a basket of pears. She knew without thinking that they were sent by Zhang Xu.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked forward, took a peach and a pear, washed them with water, and took a bite of the peach. It tasted sour and sweet. It was not like the peaches of later generations which were big, sweet and juicy. Instead, it had a wild taste that was difficult to describe and only those who had really eaten it could experience it.
After eating the peach, Lu Xiaoxiao picked up the pear and took a bite. It tasted sweeter and more juicy than the previous peach, and had a particularly crisp texture. The only drawback was that the skin was relatively thick, giving it a feeling of being rough on the outside and delicate on the inside. In short, it was very delicious and she liked it very much.
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished eating the peaches and pears, she put the rest into her space. It seems that in the future, she can ask Zhang Xu to bring some wild fruits every time he comes, and then store them in her space and save them for later.
You know, with the development of the times, it is difficult to have such pure, natural and delicious fruits.
Because she was going to the city today, Lu Xiaoxiao got up early. She didn't know how many days she would stay in the city, so she put many things at home into the cabinet.
Lu Xiaoxiao was not afraid of someone stealing, but she was worried about the trouble of cleaning when she came back. She lived in a concrete house now, which was too easy to collect dust.
After Lu Xiaoxiao packed up her things, she saw that it was almost time, so she locked all the windows and doors and walked towards the village entrance.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the village entrance, the ox cart had just arrived. Fortunately, she was not late, otherwise she would not be able to go to the city today.
It was not yet nine o'clock when the ox cart arrived at the county town. Lu Xiaoxiao told Uncle Liu that she was going to her uncle's house in the city, so she would not return to the village today and asked him not to wait for her.
Lu Xiaoxiao went to the bus ticket booth in the county town and bought a ticket to the city. She saw that the departure time on the ticket was 9:30. It was already 9:10, so she went straight to the bus and found a window seat and sat down.
The bus left on time at 9:30, but she was almost suffocated by the smell in the bus after it had been driving for a while. It was too hot in the summer and everyone sweated easily, and the buses nowadays didn't have air conditioning, so the smell of sweat, feet, garlic and other smells floated in the air, and when mixed together, the smell was really comparable to that of biological weapons.
Unable to stand the smell, she quickly opened the car window, but she forgot that the road was all dirt, so as soon as the window was opened, dust flew in her face. Her face was covered with dust, so she quickly closed the window again.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped her face, and then felt depressed. Now she was really trapped between a wolf in front and a tiger behind. If she didn't open the car window, she couldn't stand the smell, and if she opened the window, her face would be covered with dust. What should she do?
Just as she was looking around because of irritability, she saw an old man across the street covering his face with a straw hat and sleeping. An idea immediately flashed in her mind, so she used her mind to take out a gauze mask from the space and put it on. Finally, most of the smell in the car was blocked, and she said she could still bear the remaining small part.
After an hour, they finally arrived in the city. As soon as the bus stopped, Lu Xiaoxiao rushed down. When she took off her mask and smelled the fresh air, she felt reborn.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood there and rested for a while. When she felt better, she decided to go to a state-owned hotel to rest.
