Chapter 4735 Buying Coal
More than half an hour later, lunch was over. Seeing that there was only a small bowl of soup left, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Xu, "Can you hold another bowl of soup?"
"I can't drink anymore. I'll put it away."
"Okay, you collect it, I'll go wash the dishes."
Zhang Xu put away the soup after hearing what the little girl said. Then he saw that the coal in the kitchen was almost used up, so he asked the little girl, "Is the coal at home running out?"
"Yes, I was just about to have some coal sent up."
"I'll go buy it."
"Okay, buy more, otherwise it will be troublesome to have people deliver it all the time."
"Okay." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he went out to buy coal.
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao washed the dishes, then she took out bamboo shoots, ham and pork ribs from the space and started to cook pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
Fortunately, she had previous experience, so she cooked the food very smoothly without making any mistakes, which made her feel relieved.
So she put the cooked pickled pork with preserved vegetables into the space and started cleaning the kitchen.
After she cleaned the kitchen, she heard the sound of a car. It seemed that Zhang Xu came to the counter to buy coal. So she took off her apron, went out of the house, and went to the yard to open the door.
When she opened the door to the yard, she saw Zhang Xu directing people to unload coal, so she asked Zhang Xu, "Do you need any help?"
"Go ahead and open the door to the coal room. I'll have someone carry the coal in directly."
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, then she went into the yard and opened the door.
When she opened the door, she shouted to Zhang Xu: "The door is open, you can have someone bring in the coal."
After hearing what the little girl said, Zhang Xu replied "OK", and then he asked someone to move the coal into the yard.
More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the last basket of coal being brought into the house, and then she asked Zhang Xu: "Do you want to give them some hard work pay? I see they are busy and sweating."
"I have already given it, one dollar per person."
"Since you have already given it to me, I'll go back to the house first." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she locked the door and walked into the house.
After the little girl entered the house, Zhang Xu said to the two people standing not far away: "I'll take you back."
"No, we can go back by ourselves."
"I'm going to return the car. It's on my way." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he walked out of the yard.
After he left the yard, he saw the two men also coming out of the yard. He asked them to get in the car first, and he locked the yard door before getting in the car. Then he drove towards the coal plant.
At about 3:00 p.m., Lu Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Xu coming back, so he asked Zhang Xu, "Why does it take so long to send a car?"
"I went to the black market."
"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I can do anything."
"Then let's eat noodles. I feel like I've been eating too much greasy food these past few days. I want to eat something light."
Zhang Xu didn't have any opinions after hearing what the little girl said, so he rolled up his sleeves and said to the little girl, "I'll make dinner."
"Okay, I want to eat noodles with egg and vegetables."
"Okay." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen.
After Zhang Xu entered the kitchen, Lu Xiaoxiao closed the half-read medical book in her hand and put it in the drawer of the coffee table. Then she went upstairs to take a shower.
