Chapter 3658 Going to the Market
In the next few days, except for the two days of vacation when she stayed at home to rest, Lu Xiaoxiao lived a life of going back and forth between work and school. It was not until this weekend when Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yuanyuan asked her to go to the market together that she went out for a walk.
"Xiaoxiao, is there anything you want to buy?" Zhang Aihua asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"No. What about you?"
"I'm mainly here to help buy meat for my family. You know how hard it is to buy meat in the county town. My family hasn't even bought one ounce of meat yet. If I can't buy meat at the market this time, I guess my family won't have meat for the New Year this year."
"No way. Although the county is short of meat, it shouldn't be this short."
"If it were previous years, there would definitely not be such a shortage. It was just a few days ago when there was a heavy snowfall that made it impossible to transport pigs from the mountains. The pigs in the pig farms simply could not meet the needs of so many people in the county, so there was a shortage of pork."
After listening to Zhang Aihua's words, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Zhang Aihua: "How long will it take us to get to the market?"
"Almost there. We'll be there in half an hour."
"Another half an hour? I feel like we've been walking for a long time?"
"We did walk for a long time because the place was quite far away. If my grandmother hadn't been told by her elder sister's in-laws that there was such a market, she wouldn't have known about it."
After hearing what Zhang Aihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips, and then she asked Zhang Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, do you want to buy anything?"
"I don't know what to buy. In the past, my family members prepared everything for me, but now I have to prepare everything by myself. I have no idea what to do."
"Why don't you come and spend the New Year with me? I'm also spending the New Year alone, so we can just be companions."
"Xiaoxiao, isn't your brother coming back to celebrate the New Year this year?" Zhang Aihua asked Lu Xiaoxiao after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"He's working overtime this year, so he won't be back."
"Then Yuanyuan, you should go celebrate the New Year with Xiaoxiao. It's too lonely to celebrate the New Year alone. It's more lively when two people celebrate the New Year together."
Zhang Yuanyuan thought about what Zhang Aihua said and said, "Okay, I will shamelessly go to Xiaoxiao's house to celebrate the New Year this year, so do I need to buy anything?"
"You don't need to buy anything, just come and help with the work."
"No problem, I'm good at work, especially making dumplings, I'm really good at it."
"Then I'll leave the job of making dumplings to you. My family needs to make a lot of dumplings during the Chinese New Year because we need to give them away as gifts."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Lu Xiaoxiao was very happy after hearing what Zhang Yuanyuan said. This year, someone finally came to help her share the work of making dumplings, and she finally didn't have to make dumplings until she vomited.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Aihua saw a lot of people bustling around not far away, so she said to Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yuanyuan: "Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan, we're at the market, let's go quickly."
After hearing what Zhang Aihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yuanyuan looked in the direction of Zhang Aihua's finger and saw that there were indeed a lot of people in front of them. Those people were either carrying backpacks or baskets, and they seemed to be buying things.
It seems that the place in front of us is the market mentioned by the in-laws of Ahua’s grandmother’s elder sister.
"Let's go over there." Lu Xiaoxiao said after confirming that the place in front of them was a market.
"good."
