Chapter 197 Encountering a Strange Person
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the state-owned restaurant. As it was past mealtime, there was no one eating in the restaurant. She instantly felt like she had the whole place to herself.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the blackboard where the dishes were served. She saw that the only dishes served today were dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, egg noodles, and steamed buns. Because she was very hungry at the moment, she ordered one portion of all of them. Anyway, she could pack up the leftovers and take them home.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat at the dining table and waited for a while, then she heard someone at the pick-up window shouting that the dumplings were ready, so she immediately got up and walked towards the pick-up window.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the food pick-up window and saw that not only the dumplings were ready, but also the egg noodles and steamed buns. It seems that there are benefits to missing meal time and eating at a state-owned restaurant. The food is obviously served much faster than during meal time.
Lu Xiaoxiao returned to her seat with the food. When she picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, she heard crying coming from the door of the state-owned restaurant. She looked up and found that it was two old people who were coaxing a crying child.
Lu Xiaoxiao adhered to the principle of not getting involved in matters that did not concern her, so she took a look and then lowered her head to start eating lunch.
When Lu Xiaoxiao was halfway through her meal, she felt someone approaching her, so she put down her chopsticks and looked up. She saw the old man who had just been coaxing the child at the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, so she asked, "What's the matter?"
The old man immediately said after hearing the question: "Can you sell me the remaining half of your dumplings? The dumplings in the state-owned restaurant are sold out, and my grandson is crying and asking for more. I really have no other choice."
Seeing that the old man was very nice, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she couldn't finish the half of the dumpling anyway, so she could sell it to him. When she was about to agree, she saw another old man rushing over and scolding the old man who had just asked the question: "You useless old man, what are you talking to her about? Can't you see that my grandson is waiting to eat the dumplings? Why don't you just take it over? She can't finish it anyway."
After hearing what the old man said, Lu Xiaoxiao burst into laughter and said, "It's none of your business whether the dumplings I bought are eaten or not. If your grandson wants to eat them, you won't buy them yourself. Why should I give the dumplings to you?"
"How can you talk like that, a money-loser like you? It's your blessing that my golden grandson is willing to eat your dumplings."
"Oh... Then I really don't want this blessing. You should just give it to yourselves. I can't afford it."
After saying this, Lu Xiaoxiao took out a lunch box from her bag and put the remaining dumplings and steamed buns in it. Then she left the state-owned restaurant without looking back, completely ignoring the shouting and cursing behind her.
It was already one o'clock when Lu Xiaoxiao left the state-owned restaurant. She had to hurry to Li's Tailor Shop, otherwise she would miss the ox cart back to the village.
"Comrade Li, I'm here. Here are twelve kilograms of cotton and two pieces of cloth. Can you make four single mattress pads and four single quilt covers for me first? I'll bring the rest next time, okay?"
"No problem. The labor cost for the four mattress pads and four quilt covers is ten yuan. As for the thread, I won't charge you. Keep this note and remember to bring it with you next time you come to pick up your things."
After Lu Xiaoxiao received the note handed over by Boss Li, she left the tailor shop. She remembered that she had not bought the things that Aunt Caihua asked her to buy, so she walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that there was no meat on the meat stall except for a few bones, and there was nothing else in the wine cabinet except for a bottle of Xifeng Liquor. Fortunately, Aunt Cauliflower had everything she wanted in her space, so she turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
A new week has begun. My dear friends, please remember to vote for recommendations and collect them. I love you.
