Chapter 790 New Year's Eve (XVI)
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when Lu Xiaoxiao returned home. After she heated the kang at home, she planned to go into the space to take a shower, but before she entered the space, she heard a knock on the door.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the yard and opened the door. She saw her second sister standing at the door, so she stepped aside to let her in.
"Xiaoxiao, here are five dollars, please count them." After the second sister came into the room, she took out a stack of money from her pocket and put it on the table on the kang, then spoke to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao counted the money on the table and said, "The amount is correct."
"Well, that's good. I'm going home first. It gets dark quickly in winter."
"Second sister, wait a moment." When Lu Xiaoxiao saw her second sister was about to leave, she immediately spoke.
When the second sister heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she stopped and turned to look at Lu Xiaoxiao.
"You can take the leftovers from our lunch at the state-owned restaurant back home. We each paid half of the bill." Lu Xiaoxiao said after handing two lunch boxes to her second sister.
"Xiaoxiao, I only paid 20 cents today. You paid for the rest of the money and the tickets, so all the remaining dishes should belong to you."
"I ate too much at noon today, so I don't plan to eat dinner. These dishes won't taste as good if they're left overnight. You can take them back and eat with your parents and sisters."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister knew that the reason Lu Xiaoxiao said that was just to make her feel at ease to accept the dishes. However, she really wanted her family to taste the food from the state-owned restaurant, so she reached out and took the lunch box that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to her.
After taking the lunch box, the second sister left Lu Xiaoxiao's house. As she walked, she thought that she must not eat the two boxes of food from Lu Xiaoxiao in vain. She must give Lu Xiaoxiao some food when she returns the lunch box. She thought that her mother was going to make sticky rice dumplings tomorrow, so she would pack two lunch boxes of sticky rice dumplings for Lu Xiaoxiao tomorrow.
"Second sister, didn't you go to pay back Lu Xiaoxiao the money? Why did you come back with two lunch boxes?" Liu asked the second sister after seeing the two lunch boxes in her hands.
"This is the leftover food Xiaoxiao and I had at the state-owned restaurant this afternoon. Xiaoxiao asked me to bring it back."
"You kid, how dare you go to a state-owned restaurant when it's so expensive?" When Mrs. Liu heard her second sister say that she was going to a state-owned restaurant for lunch today, she immediately yelled at her second sister angrily.
"Mom, don't be so anxious and angry. Just listen to me and let me explain to you."
"you say."
The second sister saw that although her mother didn't scold her again, she was obviously still angry, so she told her mother why she went to the state-owned restaurant for lunch today, and said that she only spent 20 cents on the meal.
When Liu heard her second sister say that she only spent 20 cents on the meal, she felt relieved. Then she said to her second sister, "You and Lu Xiaoxiao went to the state-owned restaurant to eat. Lu Xiaoxiao paid for the meal and issued the ticket. These leftover dishes should belong to Lu Xiaoxiao, so you should send the dishes back to Lu Xiaoxiao now."
"Mom, Xiaoxiao said she was too full at noon and didn't want to eat at night, so I brought these dishes back. I thought you were going to make sticky rice dumplings tomorrow, so when I go to return the lunch box tomorrow, I'll pack two lunch boxes of sticky rice dumplings for Xiaoxiao to eat. This way, I can return the two boxes of dishes to Xiaoxiao. And I think Xiaoxiao likes sticky rice dumplings more than these two boxes of dishes."
If Lu Xiaoxiao could hear what her second sister said at this moment, she would definitely give her a big thumbs up, because compared to those dishes, she really prefers eating sticky rice dumplings.
