Chapter 36 Settlement (I)
They quickly returned to the village by ox cart. All the educated youth got off at the village entrance. Uncle Liu drove the ox cart to take her back to the courtyard, and they arrived after a while.
Lu Xiaoxiao got out of the car and opened the gate, and Uncle Liu helped her move her things into the yard. When he saw the newly renovated yard, he said it was very well tidied up.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened the two bags and saw that one bag contained an iron pot and the other contained a small stove.
So Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Jianguo to take the iron pot out of the bag and install it in the kitchen, and then help her carry the stove into the kitchen.
Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Jianguo staring at the iron pot, so she asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the pot?"
Liu Jianguo shook his head after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then he said, "No problem, this is a good pot. When I saw it, I thought of all the ironware in my family that was donated to the country in those years. It's not easy to get such a pot now. Your uncle is a capable man."
After hearing what Liu Jianguo said, Lu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, could it be that Liu Jianguo didn't have a pot? But she didn't dare to ask, because she didn't have the ability to get an iron pot, which was a scarce commodity. If she really had the chance to get an iron pot in the future, she could help Liu Jianguo if he really needed it.
Liu Jianguo saw that it was getting late outside, and there was nothing else he needed help with, so he drove away in his ox cart.
After closing the door, Lu Xiaoxiao patrolled her territory like a tiger and nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Xiaoxiao went into the house and put all the bowls she bought today in the cupboard, and the trough cakes and candies in the kang cabinet in the main room. She thought about it and took out two locks from the space and locked both the kang cabinet and the cupboard, for fear that someone would come to her house and rummage around.
Lu Xiaoxiao went to the bedroom and took out the velvet quilt from the space, and then put a light blue solid quilt cover on the outside of the velvet quilt. Anyway, she had just arrived here and no one knew what she brought.
After Lu Xiaoxiao put on the quilt, she took out a pillow and put on a pillowcase of the same style as the quilt. Then she took out a few clothes from the box and put them into the space. These were the original owner's clothes, and her clothes had always been kept in the cloakroom of the space villa.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, then took out a black and a blue down jacket and down pants from the cloakroom and put them in the kang cabinet. These two sets of clothes were high-end custom-made ones that she bought in the mall. They were retro in style, with only plum blossoms embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The fabric was pure cotton with only a thin layer of duck down inside, but they were very warm to wear.
People nowadays have been wearing cotton-padded jackets for several years, and they look like a thin layer. It's not that they don't want to wear thicker ones, but now you need coupons to buy cotton, and the cotton coupons issued in a year are only enough for a child to make a thin cotton-padded jacket. The down jacket she took out looks similar to theirs, but hers looks like it was just made and is newer than theirs.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the clothes, she thought about what else needed to be taken out from the space in the bedroom. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of anything, so she gave up and decided to take it out when she needed it.
Lu Xiaoxiao left the bedroom and went to the kitchen. She took out a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and a bottle of cooking wine from the space, tore off all their labels and threw them into the space to destroy the evidence.
After Lu Xiaoxiao got the seasoning, she took out an enamel cup that she bought in Beijing from the space, took out a bottle of corn oil and poured it into the enamel cup.
She only took out two kilograms of flour and two kilograms of rice, and nothing else. You have to know that when she came, she only had a box, a backpack, and a large bag of quilts. If she didn't go to exchange food and vegetables with others or borrow from the brigade, wouldn't she be suspected of having food and vegetables to eat? So she had to do everything she should do.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Xiaoxiao took out a desk lamp and a kerosene lamp she brought from Beijing from her space and lit them up. To be honest, she was not used to the brightness of the kerosene lamp; it was too dim, and she was afraid that her eyes would become myopic if she was exposed to this kind of light for a long time.
Why did she light two lamps? Although she now lived in a remote place, she was afraid that someone would come to her house and she would not have time to light the kerosene lamp, so she lit both lamps. In this way, if someone came, she could just put the table lamp into the space, so that it would not be dark and arouse suspicion.
