Chapter 496 Buying Beef (I)
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard the little girl's words, and then said, "I'll ask someone to help you find these two books."
"Um."
"Quickly put away the things on the table and hide them. Although they are not eye-catching, they are not suitable for use now."
"I understand." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she packed up her things and hid them in the room. She planned to wait until Zhang Xu returned to the mountain before putting them back into the space.
“Knock, knock, knock…knock, knock…”
Lu Xiaoxiao had just packed her things when she heard a knock on the door. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the past two days and why so many people came knocking on her door.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the gate and opened it, and saw her second sister standing at the door, so she said to her second sister, "Second sister, come in and sit down. Are you cold after all this journey?"
"It's not cold. I'm sweating after walking for such a long time. I came to you today to ask you if you want to buy beef." The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Where can I buy beef?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked immediately after hearing her second sister's words.
"They are sold in Hongxing Village. A few days ago, a cow in Hongxing Village broke its leg, so the village applied to the organization to kill the cow."
"I want to buy it. Should I go now?"
"right."
"Then wait for me a moment. I'll go into the house, get the backpack and go with you."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the main hall, she said to Zhang Xu, "A little sister from the village and I are going to the next village to buy beef. If we don't make it back by noon, you can heat up the chicken soup you didn't finish yesterday on the stove and have it as lunch."
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard what the little girl said, then took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to the little girl, saying, "Buy more."
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't bother to be polite with Zhang Xu. She took the money directly from Zhang Xu and said, "No problem."
"Be careful on the road." Zhang Xu said when he saw the little girl walking out of the house.
"knew."
"Xiaoxiao, was there someone talking to you in the room just now?"
"Well, my brother is recuperating at my house." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what her second sister said.
"Don't you have any relatives?" The second sister looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with a puzzled look and asked.
"The son of my father's comrade-in-arms."
"So that's how it is. I thought it was your long-lost brother." The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Haha...how is that possible? I am the only daughter of my father." Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile when she heard her second sister's words.
"Yeah, I was just imagining things."
"Second sister, how far is it from our village to Red Star Village?"
"It'll take about an hour."
"So far? It's almost the same distance as going to the county town." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing what her second sister said.
"It's not far, but it takes so long because the weather is bad now. In the summer, it would only take 20 minutes."
"You, let's hurry up and go. If we're late, the good meat will be taken away."
"good."
An hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister arrived at the threshing ground in Hongxing Village. She saw a butcher dissecting a cow, so she asked her second sister, "Second sister, what part of the meat do you want to buy today?"
“I don’t buy meat.”
"Why did you come all the way to Hongxing Village if you weren't going to buy meat?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister with a puzzled look after hearing her second sister's words.
"I'm here to buy a bull's head today." The second sister replied after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
