Chapter 4381: Call for Help
"Where did you get these mushrooms?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Yuanyuan in surprise after seeing what was in the basket.
"The monkey brought them back. He said there were mushrooms to be picked where he worked, so he brought back two baskets."
"Well, take the mushrooms home quickly. I have plenty of mushrooms to eat."
"I know, but these are fresh mushrooms. They taste different from dried mushrooms, so you can keep these mushrooms for yourself."
After hearing what Zhang Yuanyuan said, Lu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to refuse because it was too difficult to get food now. But when she saw Zhang Yuanyuan's face that was obviously thinner, she decided to accept the basket of mushrooms and invite Zhang Yuanyuan to have dinner at home.
Zhang Yuanyuan was very happy to see Lu Xiaoxiao accept the mushrooms. She said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go get a dustpan. I'll pour the mushrooms on the dustpan to cool them down. This will help preserve them."
"Okay." Zhang Yuanyuan said and went to get the dustpan.
When she brought the dustpan to the living room, she and Zhang Yuanyuan poured the mushrooms in the basket into the dustpan, and then picked them out one by one.
A few minutes later, when Lu Xiaoxiao saw that the mushrooms had cooled down, she said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, you can stay at my house for lunch today."
"No, I'm going home to eat."
"Well, then you can take back the mushrooms you brought."
"Xiao Xiao."
"So you're still going home to eat?"
"I'm not going back. I'll stay at your house for dinner today."
"Okay, I'll go make lunch now." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the kitchen.
After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen, Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to sneak away, but she was caught by Lu Xiaoxiao as soon as she walked out of the living room.
So she quickly promised Lu Xiaoxiao: "I will never run away again."
"Okay, go to the kitchen and wash the vegetables."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhang Yuanyuan nodded, and then she quickly walked towards the kitchen.
After Zhang Yuanyuan entered the kitchen, Lu Xiaoxiao was about to go to the dustpan to pick mushrooms, but before she reached the dustpan, she heard the phone ringing, so she had to go answer it first.
"Hello, is this Xiaoxiao?" Liu Ermei asked quickly when she saw the call was connected.
"It's me, you're the second sister?"
"Yes, I am."
"What's the matter with you calling me?"
“I…I…”
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I...I want to ask if you can buy food there?"
"Yes, no matter how expensive it is."
"It's okay. No matter how expensive it is, I want you to buy a few kilograms for me."
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao frowned involuntarily, and then she asked Liu Ermei: "Is there a shortage of food in Harbin?"
"But, there is a particular shortage. My family is almost out of food."
"I'm on my own. I'll send you some food later. But I can only send you coarse grains because I'm afraid I can't send you fine grains."
"Okay, whatever you want to send is fine, as long as it's edible."
After listening to Liu Ermei's words, Lu Xiaoxiao said ok and then hung up the phone.
"Xiaoxiao, who called you just now?" When Zhang Yuanyuan saw that the talking in the living room stopped, she came out of the kitchen and asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Second sister."
"Second sister? Is there something she wants to talk to you about at this time?"
"Well, she wanted me to help her buy food because her family was running out of food."
Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help but take a breath after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then she asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Is there a shortage of food in Harbin?"
