Chapter 556: Transaction Completed (Part 2)
"I'll go home and take a look. You can just take me here." Lu Xiaoxiao said after putting the things in her bag.
"The boss asked us to send you home." Mu Tou spoke immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"We are almost at the foot of the mountain now. Nothing will happen. Go back to the mountain quickly. Your boss may have something for you to do."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Monkey and Wood looked at each other and then said, "Then let's go back to the mountain."
"Um."
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she immediately lit the two kangs in the house. Then she took out a cup of hot milk and a large bread from the space and sat on the kang to eat.
Lu Xiaoxiao had just finished lunch when she heard someone knocking on the door, so she put the leftover black bread on the table into the space and went to the yard to open the door.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the yard and saw her second sister standing there with her head shrunk, so she immediately pulled her second sister into the main room and sat her on the kang without saying a word, and poured her a cup of hot water.
"Second sister, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister took the water on the table and drank several sips before speaking: "Today's weather is so cold that my hands and feet are numb from the cold."
"The weather is indeed very cold today." Lu Xiaoxiao replied after hearing what her second sister said.
"Xiaoxiao, why weren't you at home when I came to see you this morning?" The second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao after drinking the water in the cup.
"I went up the mountain to collect firewood this morning."
"Well, I originally wanted to ask you if you want to go to the county town with me tomorrow." The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"Why are you going to the county town in such a cold weather?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing her second sister's words.
"I want to go to the county town to buy some fabrics and things for the New Year."
"There's still more than a month until the Chinese New Year, so you don't need to start preparing for the New Year so early."
"Why not prepare so early? Goods are in short supply now. It's hard to buy things, and it's even harder to buy things during the Chinese New Year. If we don't prepare now, we'll only be able to eat sweet potatoes during the Chinese New Year."
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, then whispered, "Not that fast, right?"
"How come there is nothing left? I can tell you haven't prepared any New Year's goods. Come with me to the county town tomorrow and see how I prepare New Year's goods. This way you will be able to do it in the future." The second sister said with an expression as if she would have more meat to eat if she followed her sister.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard her second sister's words, she did not answer her immediately. Instead, she thought for a while before asking, "What time do you leave for the county town tomorrow?"
"Wait for the bullock cart at the entrance of the village at nine in the morning."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village at nine tomorrow morning."
"Um."
The second sister chatted with Lu Xiaoxiao for half an hour and then went home. Her parents and sister were at home weaving bamboo baskets, so she naturally had to go home quickly to help, so that she could make more bamboo baskets and exchange them for more money at the recycling station tomorrow.
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent her second sister away, she went into the house, packed some things, closed the door and walked towards the mountain. Since she was going to the county town with her second sister tomorrow, she had to go up the mountain and talk to Zhang Xu to prevent him from worrying.
"Didn't you say whether you would go down the mountain or not?" Zhang Xu asked when he saw the little girl walking towards him.
"I originally didn't plan to go up the mountain, but something forced me to go up the mountain, and I was helpless."
