Chapter 5187 Forgot to fill water and buy coal
At about 3:00 p.m., Lu Xiaoxiao came down from upstairs and saw that the flowers in the living room had all withered. If she remembered correctly, she had just put the flowers in the living room yesterday. How come they withered so quickly? Was it because the weather was too hot?
Thinking of this, she walked to the vase, pulled out the withered flowers, then looked into the vase and saw that there was no water at all.
Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to put water in the bottle when she was arranging the flowers. No wonder the flowers withered so quickly.
So she took all the withered flowers out of the vase and threw them into the trash can, planning to go to the yard to cut some flowers and put them in the vase tomorrow morning.
“Ding Dong…Ding Dong…”
Just when Lu Xiaoxiao was about to go to the kitchen to cook millet porridge, she heard the doorbell ring, and she could only find the yard to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw an unfamiliar person standing at her door, so she asked her, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm from the neighborhood office. Comrade, your coal for this month has arrived. If you need any, bring your coal ticket and go buy some."
"I see. Thank you for letting me know."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do. Just to remind you, try to go early, otherwise if you go too late you can only buy broken coal."
"good."
"Then I'll go notify the next one."
After hearing what the staff from the street office said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then she prepared to close the door and go back to the house after they left.
"Xiaoxiao, don't close the door yet."
"Why are you here?"
"I came to ask if you want to buy some coal. If you want to, let's go together."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go back to the house to get the coal ticket."
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the house with a bag on her back, and then she asked Zhang Yuanyuan who was standing in the yard, "Should we take a cart with us?"
"Do you have a cart?"
"Yes, Zhang Xu made one before."
"Then take it with you, so we don't have to rent a cart."
"Rent a cart? You mean I can rent a cart where I buy coal?"
"right."
"Can we pay someone to deliver the coal?"
"Yes, it is possible, but it is a bit expensive, 50 cents per trip."
"Are you short of that fifty cents?"
"Not bad, how about we have someone deliver it?"
"Well, this way I don't have to get dirty."
"Okay, let's get someone to deliver it for us. Now let's go buy some coal."
After hearing what Zhang Yuanyuan said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then she and Zhang Yuanyuan hurried to the place to buy coal.
When they arrived at the place to buy coal, they saw a long queue. Fortunately, they came not too late and they estimated that it would take them half an hour to get their turn, so they quickly queued up at the end of the line.
"Xiao Xiao, should I go find someone to help us transport coal first?"
"Okay, if possible, we'll add a few cents and let them help us load and unload the coal."
"I understand." Zhang Yuanyuan said and went to find someone.
When she finished looking for someone and returned to Lu Xiaoxiao, she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "It cost a total of 80 cents. They will come by themselves when we are here."
"good."
After more than ten minutes, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that it was finally their turn, so she and Zhang Yuanyuan handed the coal ticket and money to the staff, and then they walked to the place to collect the coal.
"Girl, which coals are yours?"
"This pile is mine, that pile is my friend's, and each of you is responsible for pulling one pile."
"good."
