Chapter 2382 New Year Greetings (I)
Time flies and it is the fifth day of the New Year. Lu Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast early and rode her bicycle towards Tianshui Village.
More than an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Liu Ermei's house. Seeing that the door of Liu Ermei's yard was not closed, she pushed her bicycle into the yard.
Liu Ermei heard some noise in the yard, so she immediately got off the kang and walked out of the main room.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here." Liu Ermei saw Lu Xiaoxiao after she came out of the main room and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Come over and help me carry my stuff while I park my bike in the corner."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ermei took the things from her hands, she pushed her bicycle towards the corner.
After parking her bicycle, she walked towards the main room with Liu Ermei.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here. Come sit on the kang. I'll go get you some hot water."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu." After saying this, Lu Xiaoxiao sat down on the kang.
After Liu Ermei put the things that Lu Xiaoxiao brought on the table, she asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what did you bring? Why is it so heavy?"
"Open it and take a look. The thing in the red cloth bag is for you."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei did not be polite to Lu Xiaoxiao. She directly opened the red cloth bag and took out the things in the bag one by one.
"Xiaoxiao, drink some water." Liu said after handing the prepared sugar water to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the water handed to her by Liu, she started drinking it in small sips. She was a little thirsty after riding her bike for more than an hour.
"Second sister, why are you standing there? Come over and talk to Xiaoxiao. I have to go make lunch." Mrs. Liu saw Second sister Liu standing at the table with her back to her, so she said to Second sister Liu.
"I'm reading what Xiaoxiao brought. I'll be done soon."
"Xiaoxiao brought something?"
"yes."
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Mrs. Liu walked towards Liu Ermei, and then she saw cakes, wine and bacon on the table.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you bring so many things?" Liu asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I brought whatever I had at home. I live alone now and can't eat too much."
"We've accepted the cakes and wine. The bacon is durable. You can take it home and enjoy it slowly."
"No, I still have a lot of bacon at home. We hunted so many game last year, and I made a lot of bacon, enough for me to eat for a year."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Mrs. Liu did not let Lu Xiaoxiao take the bacon back, but walked towards the kitchen with the bacon.
Since Lu Xiaoxiao didn't want to take the bacon back, she steamed the bacon and ate it at noon so that Xiaoxiao could also have a few pieces.
After Liu went to the kitchen, Liu Ermei took out the snacks from the kang cabinet and said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I left these for you. Although they are not expensive, they are made by mom herself. The taste is not much worse than the ones bought. Come and try them."
"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and started eating.
"How is it? Is it sweeter than the ones bought?" Liu Ermei asked Lu Xiaoxiao after she finished eating a piece of dried sweet potato.
"It's indeed sweeter than the ones you buy, but logically speaking, no matter how sweet the dried sweet potatoes are, they shouldn't be this sweet. Could it be that Aunt Liu added sugar to the dried sweet potatoes?"
"My mother added sugar to the dried sweet potatoes. When she was drying them, she brushed the cut sweet potato slices with sugar water, so the dried sweet potatoes were so sweet."
