Chapter 785 New Year's Eve (Eleven)
"No, the stuff is too heavy, we can go by ourselves. Do you want to take our car to the county town?"
"No, I'll go there by oxcart later."
"Then we'll go first."
"Okay, be safe on the road."
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Monkey and the others away, she looked at the time. It was 7:30 in the morning. The ox cart was to depart at 8:30 in the morning. If she went out to the captain's house to get a letter of introduction, she would be able to catch the departure time of the ox cart.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, she saw Aunt Caihua walking out of the house with a backpack on her back. She greeted Aunt Caihua and said, "Aunt, where are you going?"
"I was just about to go out to drive the bullock cart. What do you want to do at my house?"
"I'm here to ask the captain for a letter of introduction. I want to go to the county town today."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Caihua thought that Lu Xiaoxiao was most likely going to the county town to help their family find a sewing ticket, so she pulled Lu Xiaoxiao into the house with a smile on her face, and then asked the team leader who was sitting on the kang smoking a pipe to help Lu Xiaoxiao get a letter of introduction.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Caihua's eagerness at first, she didn't understand what was going on, but she soon figured out the reason, although she was not going to the county town to get a sewing ticket this time, because she already had one.
However, she would not explain to Aunt Cauliflower why she was going to the county town this time. Since Aunt Cauliflower misunderstood, let her continue to misunderstand. This way, they would also know that sewing plane tickets are not so easy to get.
After Lu Xiaoxiao got the letter of introduction from the captain, she and Aunt Caihua walked towards the village entrance.
"Xiaoxiao, are you going to the county town too?" When the second sister was standing at the entrance of the village waiting for the ox cart, she saw Lu Xiaoxiao walking towards her, so she immediately spoke to Lu Xiaoxiao excitedly.
"Um."
"What are you going to do in the county town?"
"Going to do something, what about you?"
"I'm going to buy salt and matches."
"Are you going alone?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing her second sister's words.
"Well, it's just a few things. I can go alone."
"The ox cart is here. Grab a seat first and we'll chat on the cart later." When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Uncle Liu driving the ox cart towards them, she said to her second sister.
"Um."
After Uncle Liu stopped the ox cart, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately rushed to the cart and found a seat to sit down. However, she did not sit behind Uncle Liu this time because she knew that Aunt Caihua would sit in that seat whenever she went to the county town.
"Xiaoxiao, you're running too fast." The second sister struggled to grab a seat next to Lu Xiaoxiao. After she took a few breaths to calm herself down, she said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I've always been running to keep fit, so I can run fast."
"Hehe..." When the second sister heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she didn't know what to say except laughing.
"Excuse me, are you Lu Xiaoxiao?"
Lu Xiaoxiao heard a girl sitting next to her ask her if she was Lu Xiaoxiao, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
"Hello, Lu Xiaoxiao. I am an educated youth who came to Tianshui Village in November this year. My name is Chen Qingqing and I am from Beijing."
"Hello, my name is Lu Xiaoxiao, and I'm from Beijing."
"I know you came here last November. I heard about it from the people at the Youth League Center."
"Um."
"Are you going to the county town to buy things today?"
"I'm going to do something."
"What is it? Do you need my help?"
"No need." Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed by Chen Qingqing's outgoing personality.
