Chapter 4604 Too Many Taboos
After seeing Foreman Xie's eye signal, Zhang Xu pretended not to understand and continued to sit next to the little girl.
When Foreman Xie saw Zhang Xu ignoring him, he immediately became furious. Just when he was about to lose his temper, he saw Mr. Fan looking at him and told him to calm down.
So he had to suppress his anger and continue sitting on the sofa.
When Mr. Fan saw that Foreman Xie had settled down, he looked at Zhang Xu and asked, "Xu boy, have you been busy lately?"
"It's OK. No more missions."
"Oh, are you planning to retreat behind the scenes?"
After hearing what Mr. Fan said, Zhang Xu did not answer Mr. Fan's question immediately. Instead, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "I don't have any plans for the time being."
"Then I feel relieved." After saying this, Mr. Fan did not speak again. Instead, he sat leisurely on the sofa and stroked his mustache.
"What were you talking about just now? Why didn't I understand?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Xu after Zhang Xu and Mr. Fan had a conversation.
"Nothing, don't think too much about it."
"Why do I feel like I haven't thought too much about it? I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me."
"No."
"Okay, if you say no, then no." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she put the matter out of her mind and discussed with Mr. Fan and others what to prepare for the New Year.
"Firecrackers? Do you want to set off firecrackers?" Foreman Xie asked after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"No?"
"Of course I don't believe it. Now not only can't you set off firecrackers, you can't even put up Spring Festival couplets. So don't do anything else during the New Year except making food, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
After hearing what Foreman Xie said, Lu Xiaoxiao became completely withdrawn. Although she knew that many things could not be done in this era, she did not expect that there would be so many taboos. Even Spring Festival couplets could not be posted. She really did not know what to say.
So she said to Foreman Xie: "I know, I will definitely not do those things."
After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's assurance, Foreman Xie felt relieved. He then said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Although we can't set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, we can secretly make lanterns. I'll make two red lanterns for you on New Year's Eve."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Foreman Xie said, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he asked Foreman Xie: "Second Master, can you make lanterns?"
"Yes, there's nothing difficult about making lanterns. It's just that I don't have enough tools right now, so I can only make two simple ones for you."
"It's okay, as long as it's a lantern, these second masters."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Foreman Xie looked at Zhang Xu proudly, and then he began to think about what kind of lantern would be better.
At around five in the evening, after Mr. Fan and his friends finished their dinner, they said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiao girl, we're leaving."
After hearing what Mr. Fan and the others said, Lu Xiaoxiao asked them to be careful on the road, and then watched them leave.
When their figures completely disappeared from her sight, she closed the yard door and walked into the house.
When she returned to the house, she saw Zhang Xu already washing dishes in the kitchen, so she said to Zhang Xu, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. Go take a shower. You've been busy all day."
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Lu Xiaoxiao said okay, and then she went upstairs to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she remembered that she still had a good thing that she had not given to Zhang Xu, so she took that thing out of the space, and then took the thing to find Zhang Xu.
