Chapter 750: Home is the Best (V)
Lu Xiaoxiao felt even more complicated when she heard Zhang Xu's words. She always felt that what Zhang Xu had done was beyond what a brother would do to his sister. However, she didn't believe that Zhang Xu would fall in love with her, a child who was less than ten years old. So what went wrong?
"What are you still doing there? Come over here and soak your feet. Weren't your feet cold before?" Zhang Xu saw the little girl standing there in a daze and spoke to her.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Zhang Xu said, she quickly walked to the bed and sat down, then quickly took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin.
After soaking her feet for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao felt her body warm. She thought to herself, no wonder so many people like to soak their feet, it turns out that soaking feet is so comfortable.
Five minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao finished soaking her feet and said to Zhang Xu, "I only used one pot of water to soak my feet. You can use another pot of water to soak your feet. It's hard to warm up your body in this kind of weather without soaking your feet."
"I'm going back to the room to soak. You should get into bed quickly, or your feet will be cold and it will be hard to fall asleep."
"I'll close the door and go to sleep."
"Um."
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Zhang Xu away, she didn't plan to fetch water. She went straight into the space to take a bath. Although she had just soaked her feet, she and Huo Miao had played in the yard all afternoon this afternoon, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a bath.
At 6:30 the next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao was awakened by a knock on the door. She got out of bed, put on her coat and went to open the door.
When Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw Zhang Xu standing at the door, she turned around and walked into the house, yawning.
After entering the house, Lu Xiaoxiao put on her clothes and said to Zhang Xu, "Why did you come to see me so early?"
"We're going back to Tianshui Village today. It's better to leave early. You've been away from home for more than half a month. You must clean up the place when you return, otherwise it won't be habitable."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Zhang Xu said, she thought about it and agreed with it, so she quickly packed up her things and walked out of the house.
"Wait, eat breakfast first." Zhang Xu took out an oil-paper bag from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.
Lu Xiaoxiao took the oil-paper bag Zhang Xu handed to her and said to Zhang Xu, "Did you go to the state-owned restaurant to buy breakfast?"
"Um."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard that Zhang Xu had already eaten breakfast, she opened the oil paper bag and ate her breakfast.
Five minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast. She and Zhang Xu went to the counter downstairs to check out, and then got in the car and set off back to Tianshui Village.
After four and a half hours, Lu Xiaoxiao returned to Tianshui Village. She took out the key to unlock the door and pushed it open. However, she failed to open it after several attempts.
Seeing that the little girl hadn't pushed the door open for a long time, Zhang Xu put down the two big bags in his hands, then climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Zhang Xu walked into the yard and saw that the thickness of the snow in the yard had reached about fifteen centimeters. No wonder the little girl had failed to push the door open after pushing it for a long time.
"Don't push the door yet. Wait until I shovel away the snow inside before pushing it." Zhang Xu shouted to the little girl.
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Lu Xiaoxiao stopped pushing the door, and then stood at the door quietly waiting for Zhang Xu to shovel the snow.
Ten minutes later, after Zhang Xu had shoveled a path in the yard, he shouted to the little girl, "You can push the door open now."
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Lu Xiaoxiao reached out and pushed the door open. When she saw the thick snow in the yard, she understood why she had not pushed open the door for a long time.
