Chapter 1696: Phone Call (I)
"What's wrong with you, old man?" Aunt Cauliflower immediately went into the main room after hearing the captain's cough, and asked the captain while patting his back to help him calm down.
"Nothing, I just smoked my pipe too hard."
"I've told you to smoke less. You're old now. Smoking is not good for your health."
"I know. I rarely smoke now. I only smoke a few times when I'm worried."
"What happened? Something happened in the village again?"
"Nothing happened in the village, except that those educated youth started making trouble again."
Aunt Caihua frowned after hearing what the captain said, and then she said to the captain: "Don't bother with them, let them make trouble."
"I didn't want to care, but someone from above asked me to take care of an educated youth."
"What is this all about?"
"Old woman, go get me some wine. I want to drink two ounces today."
"good."
Lu Xiaoxiao and Wan Xuemei had no idea that the captain had started drinking out of worry. They were now sitting in a state-owned restaurant eating.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm full." Wan Xuemei said to Lu Xiaoxiao after eating a steamed bun and a few pieces of braised pork.
"Why did you eat so little today?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Wait for me a moment. I'll eat another steamed bun."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her steamed buns, she saw that there was still half a plate of braised pork on the table. She asked Wan Xuemei, "Sister Xuemei, did you bring your lunch box?"
"No."
"I didn't bring any either, so what should I do with the remaining meat?"
"have no idea."
"Comrade, is there no way for you to take the meat away?" Yuan Yu overheard the conversation between Lu Xiaoxiao and Wan Xuemei, so she walked to their table and asked.
"yes."
"Can you sell me the meat?"
“This is the meat we have left over.”
"It's okay, I don't mind. My grandma hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and I don't have any meat coupons, so..." Yuan Yu felt embarrassed to continue. Meat is expensive these days, and it didn't seem right for her to buy meat from others like this. However, her grandma wasn't in good spirits these days, so she wanted to buy some meat to nourish her old lady.
"If you don't mind, you can take the meat and you don't need to pay."
"No, I've already taken advantage of you. If you don't pay me, I'll feel bad."
"Comrade, consider this meat as a gift from us to your grandmother. You should pack it up and take it back with you. Otherwise, it will become cold and not tasty." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took Wan Xuemei away.
Yuan Yu's eyes turned red as she watched Lu Xiaoxiao and Wan Xuemei leave. Her grandmother was right, there were still many good people in this world.
"Xiaoxiao, are we going to the post office now?" Wan Xuemei asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"yes."
"Then let's go faster."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao and Wan Xuemei arrived at the post office, they saw someone making a phone call, so they stood at the door of the post office waiting for the person to finish the call.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to call first or should I call first?" Wan Xuemei asked Lu Xiaoxiao after the man finished the call.
"You fight first."
"Okay, I'll make the call then."
"Um."
While Wan Xuemei was on the phone, Lu Xiaoxiao took out the subsidy notebook from the space and walked to the cash window to withdraw money.
