Chapter 1384 Buying a Soft Water Pipe
Half an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the county town. After getting off the car, Lu Xiaoxiao and the captain immediately ran towards the place where soft water pipes were sold in the county town. Fortunately, when they arrived at the place where soft water pipes were sold, there were no people from other villages, so they bought more than 80 meters of soft water pipes.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know where to buy soft water pipes?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao after putting the soft water pipes on the ox cart.
"black market."
When the captain heard the word "black market", he immediately shook his head at Lu Xiaoxiao. The reason why he shook his head was not because he didn't have the courage to buy water pipes on the black market, but because he didn't have the money to buy water pipes on the black market.
He bought soft water pipes outside for 1.2 yuan per meter. If he went to the black market to buy soft water pipes, he would definitely not be able to buy them without 2 yuan. The price of 2 yuan per meter for soft water pipes was not something their village could afford.
"Captain, what do you mean by shaking your head?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the captain when she saw him shaking his head.
"I shook my head to show that I disagreed with buying water pipes on the black market because we didn't have that much money in the village, so we couldn't afford to buy water pipes on the black market."
"Captain, I know an uncle in the county. I'll go ask him if he can get me a hose."
"Xiaoxiao, whether you can get the water pipe or not, Tianshui Village owes you a favor. Let me thank you on behalf of the villagers of Tianshui Village." After the captain finished speaking, he bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw the captain bow, she immediately jumped away. She didn't dare to accept the captain's bow. Besides, the reason why she was so active in helping the people of Tianshui Village buy soft water pipes was purely because she couldn't bear to see the people of Tianshui Village suffer.
"Captain, I just did what I could, so I don't deserve your gratitude."
"Jianbin, you have to thank Xiaoxiao for plenty of opportunities in the future. The top priority now is to let Xiaoxiao buy a soft water pipe." Liu Jianguo said to the captain.
The captain nodded after hearing what Liu Jianguo said, then he looked at Lu Xiaoxiao seriously and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll leave the water pipe matter to you."
"Okay, then I'll go find my uncle now." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the black market.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the black market in the county, she went directly to find Manager Xie in the black market and told him that she was looking for Chen Guang.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Manager Xie originally didn't want to pay attention to Lu Xiaoxiao, but then he thought that since Lu Xiaoxiao knew Chen Guang's name, maybe Lu Xiaoxiao really knew Chen Guang. Anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to go in and tell Chen Guang a message, so he would be a good guy today.
"Wait here, I'll take your message to Brother Guang now. By the way, what's your name?"
"Xiao."
When Manager Xie heard Lu Xiaoxiao say the word "Xiao", he wondered why some people's names only had one character, but he didn't ask much. The first survival trick he learned when working in the black market was to know as little as possible, so he never asked about things that he shouldn't know.
"Knock knock knock...Is Brother Guang here? I'm Manager Xie." Manager Xie knocked on the door when he arrived at the room where Chen Guang was resting in the black market.
"What do you want from me?" Chen Guang asked Manager Xie while eating a peach.
"There is a little girl named Xiao who said she was looking for you, so I came to ask if you know that little girl."
After hearing what Manager Xie said, Chen Guang originally wanted to say that he didn't know her, but when he was about to say it, he suddenly thought of Lu Xiaoxiao, so he immediately swallowed the words back into his stomach.
