Chapter 159: Grain Delivery (Part 2)
After finishing dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and found that it was already past seven o'clock. Seeing that it was getting dark, she planned to go to the cowshed to discuss with the masters what necessities they needed to purchase for the winter.
"Master, I'm going to the county town tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to buy?"
"We have everything we need and there is nothing to buy," said Mr. Fan.
"Master chef, I mean winter stuff. You don't plan to spend the winter wearing the short-sleeved shirts you're wearing, do you?"
The four of them fell silent after hearing this. They knew that the winter here was very cold, and when they were sent here, they had nothing except the clothes they were wearing. Even many of the things they used now were brought by Xiao Yatou, so they had nothing they needed for the winter.
But Xiao has already helped them so much, how could they still have the nerve to ask her to buy things for them.
Seeing that the masters were silent for a long time, Lu Xiaoxiao wondered for a while and then knew the reason for their silence, so she said, "Masters, you don't have to be embarrassed to speak up. Compared to what you taught me on a daily basis, what I did is just a trivial matter.
Besides, I don’t have any relatives now. When I became your disciples, I already considered you my grandfathers. So it is only natural for a granddaughter to show respect to her grandfather.”
After hearing this, Foreman Xie wiped his eyes and said, "I never thought that I would be childless in this life. I thought that taking in an apprentice would provide me with someone to take care of me in my old age. I didn't expect that I would have a granddaughter now. Finally, my Xie family will not be cut off after my generation. I can finally meet all my ancestors in the underworld."
The other three were filled with emotion after hearing what Foreman Xie said, especially Wang Guoyao. He thought that he had two sons and several grandchildren, and it could be said that he had a large family, but in the end, they were the ones who hurt him the most.
So he said, "Yun Lei is more open-minded. Look, I have a lot of blood-related sons and grandchildren, but what is the result..."
When Mr. Fan heard what they said, he sighed and said, "Let's not be hypocritical. Just like what Xiao said, she treats us as her grandfather, and we have been teaching her as her granddaughter for a long time.
Now that Xiao Yatou is able to help us, we should not be polite to her. If we have the chance to go back in the future, we will treat Xiao Yatou well. Even if we can't go back, we will give her all our skills. Only by helping each other can our relationship become closer."
"Master chef is right, you guys should stop being polite to me, or I will get angry."
Hearing this, Foreman Xie said hurriedly: "Xiao girl, your Second Master doesn't know what to prepare either, so you just help Second Master prepare it. I like whatever you prepare."
After hearing this, the other three nodded in agreement with General Xie.
But when preparing to go home, Master Fan said, "Xiao girl, you must do everything within your ability and don't put yourself in danger. If you do that, the masters will feel guilty."
"You should do what you are capable of. I understand this principle, Master. I will go home first. I may not come here tomorrow night."
"Okay, I see. Be careful on the road."
The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao came to the threshing ground. She saw that everyone was moving the bags of grain from the warehouse onto the carts. Looking at the carts full of grain and the two empty warehouses, she was shocked.
