Chapter 246: A Trip to Hai City (Part 2)
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao entered the space. She thought that she was going to Hai City with Zhang Xu this time, so she couldn't smuggle food out of the space to eat on the train. So she planned to make some leavened bread, and then prepare some braised meat and pickles to put in them. This way, the food would not only be delicious but also durable.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Xiaoxiao finished making the steamed buns and braised meat. After taking a shower, she took a canvas bag to the cloakroom, packed two sets of clothes, and went to bed.
At around eight o'clock the next morning, there was a knock on the gate of the yard. After Lu Xiaoxiao opened the gate, she saw Zhang Xu standing there, so she stepped aside to let him in.
After entering the room, Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I drove to the county town early in the morning and didn't have time to eat."
Lu Xiaoxiao brought out a bowl of porridge and three buns from the kitchen and handed them to Zhang Xu, then went into the house to pack up. After Zhang Xu finished breakfast, she had also packed up all her things.
Zhang Xu took the canvas bag from Lu Xiaoxiao and was about to walk towards the gate. Lu Xiaoxiao quickly called out, "Zhang Xu, wait a minute. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Xu stopped when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's shout. He turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ahem... that is... my letter of introduction has not been opened yet."
Zhang Xu knew what was going on when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao's expression. He curled his lips slightly and said, "After you lock the door, I'll take you to get a letter of introduction."
When Lu Xiaoxiao brought Zhang Xu to the captain's house, the family was having dinner. The captain looked at Zhang Xu for a while and asked, "Are you the son of Xiaoxiao's father's friend?"
"Yes."
"This time when you take Xiaoxiao to Hai City, you must ensure her safety. Bring her back the same way you brought her there."
"I will."
After hearing Zhang Xu's promise, the captain went into the house to write a letter of introduction for Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, have you had breakfast?" Aunt Cauliflower asked.
"Aunt, I've eaten. Do you want me to bring anything for you when I go to Hai City this time?"
"Xiao Xiao, I really have something I want you to buy for me. If you see a coat that looks like a military coat in Hai City this time, please buy one for me. This coat is for your uncle, so just buy it according to his size."
"No problem, but I want to ask if you mind the defective clothes?"
"I don't mind. Nowadays, people don't even mind clothes with patches, so why would they mind clothes with flaws?"
"That's good. There's a flea market in Shanghai where you don't need coupons to buy things, but the things are more or less defective. Since Auntie doesn't mind the defects, I'll go there and buy clothes for her. Not only will the clothes be cheaper, but I won't need coupons either."
Aunt Caihua's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly said, "Then I'll trouble Xiaoxiao."
As soon as Aunt Caihua finished her words, the captain came back with a letter of introduction. After handing the letter to Lu Xiaoxiao, he said, "Be careful," and went back to the kang to eat.
After Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xu left the captain's house, they walked towards the village entrance because Zhang Xu parked the car there.
Aunt Caihua saw Zhang Xu leaving and said, "This young man is really good. Not only does he look energetic, he also looks capable. It would be great if Xiaofeng could find a partner like him."
After hearing what Aunt Cauliflower said, the captain put down the bowl in his hand and said, "You'd better think about it. That young man looks like he is not an ordinary person. Do you think Xiaofeng can control such a person?"
After hearing what the captain said, Aunt Cauliflower felt that Xiaofeng really could not control such a person, so she let go of the thought in her mind.
Seeing that Aunt Cauliflower had put her worries to rest, the captain picked up his bowl and continued eating.
Let's go to the sea market... What did the sea market look like in that era? Do you know, my dears?
