Chapter 47: Going to the Market (Part 2)
"Go, go, you must take me there tomorrow." This was such a rare opportunity, how could she not go, especially since she had never seen a market before.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Caihua said, "Gather at the village entrance at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Many people will go to the market and it will be difficult to get a seat on the oxcart. I will get on the car directly from your uncle Liu's house and save a seat for you. Don't be late, otherwise you will definitely lose your seat."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao repeatedly assured her that she would arrive on time tomorrow and would definitely not be late.
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Aunt Cauliflower away, she was so excited to know that she could go to the market tomorrow that she no longer had the interest to continue making snowmen.
Lu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and saw that the fire on the stove had gone out. She opened the lid of the pot, took out an egg, turned it around and knew that the egg was cooked, so she took out a bucket from the space and put all the eggs into the bucket and put it into the space warehouse.
After Lu Xiaoxiao washed the pot, she didn't want to cook dinner anymore. She took out a plate of pork belly and a sesame sauce pancake from the space, put the meat into the pancake and started to eat it with a crunchy sound.
A sesame bun with meat in it brings a full feeling of happiness.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about going to the market tomorrow, so she took out the small box containing tickets and money from the space. Before going to the countryside, she had more than 2,600 yuan in cash, and later she received a subsidy of 32 yuan, which was almost 2,700 yuan.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened the box and counted the money. Now there was only 1,672.38 yuan left. She spent a little more than 1,000 yuan. Where did she spend the money?
Before going to the countryside, she bought some daily necessities for less than 100 yuan. When she came to the countryside, she spent 100 yuan on buying a house and furniture, and the rest was only a few yuan. She didn't buy anything.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out where the money went. She saw that it was getting dark outside and wanted to check the time. Then she remembered that she bought four watches, two Omega watches that cost more than five hundred yuan, and two Plum blossom watches that cost more than two hundred yuan. The four watches added up to about eight hundred yuan, so the total cost was about 1,000 yuan.
After counting the money, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the tickets in the box. There were only 80 kilograms of grain tickets, 20 kilograms of meat tickets, 12 feet of cloth tickets and 2 taels of oil tickets left. There were no other tickets.
After reading this, Lu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, and lamented even more how difficult this era is.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out twenty-two yuan, thirty-eight cents, ten kilograms of grain coupons and five kilograms of meat coupons from the box and put them in her small bag, and put the rest back into the box and put it in the space.
The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao heard the alarm ringing, she immediately got up and washed.
After washing up, Lu Xiaoxiao drank a bowl of sweet potato grits porridge and a boiled egg that she had cooked yesterday. Then she turned off all the fire, closed the doors and windows, and walked towards the village entrance carrying her small bag.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao reached the village entrance, she saw many people standing at the entrance. She checked the watch in the space with her mind and saw that it was only 7:43. She thought she was early, but she didn't expect that others were earlier than her. Now she understood what Aunt Cauliflower meant when she said, "If she is late, she will lose her position."
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know any of the people at the entrance of the village, and it would be awkward for her to walk over to them, so she stood about seven or eight meters away from them.
Fortunately, the ox cart arrived soon. When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Cauliflower sitting on the cart waving at her, she hurried over.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao could stand firmly beside the ox cart, Aunt Caihua carried her onto the cart. She was confused for a moment. What was going on? Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Aunt Caihua say, "Fortunately, I was quick to carry you up, otherwise you would have had to walk. Look at the people on the ox cart. They were all adults holding children, and many people couldn't squeeze in."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the ox cart. Except for the middle of the cart where things were placed, the rest of the cart was full of people. She was sitting at the front of the cart. Fortunately, Aunt Caihua helped her separate herself from the others, otherwise she would probably have been squeezed into pieces.
However, Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little shy when she thought about Aunt Cauliflower hugging her just now. Although she had an eight-year-old body, she had a soul of more than twenty years old. Oh my God...
Today is the first update. I wonder if you little cuties have ever been to the big fair in the countryside?
