Luo Qiao nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, it's not that we are short of everything. We sold some herbs and bought some daily necessities."

Zhao Xiaomei said, "What did you buy? Let Second Sister take a look."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to walk into the house. When he saw the shoes on the kang and the enamel washbasin on the floor, his eyes lit up.

Oh, the newly bought Jiefang shoes? Zhao Xiaomei picked them up and touched them for a long time, then said, "Luo Qiao, our feet are similar. Can you lend these shoes to my second sister for a few days?"

Luo Qiao said with a half-smile: "I haven't worn these shoes yet. Besides, our shoe sizes are different. I wear size 36 and you can't wear it."

Zhao Xiaomei looked at it for a long time without knowing what to think: "It's okay, I wear a size 37, my feet are skinny and I'm sure I can fit into it."

It’s as if I don’t understand what others are saying and I’m immersed in my own world.

Then he looked at the enamel basin on the ground and said, "This enamel basin is really beautiful. Luo Qiao, can we switch between them? I really like the color of this basin."

When she bought it, there were only two kinds of patterns available in the supply and marketing cooperative. One was a bright red pattern of double happiness for weddings, and the other was a blue pattern with two fish on the bottom of the basin. Luo Qiao had no choice but to choose the blue one.

Luo Qiao was speechless about this shameless person: "These things are personal belongings. It's so disgusting to use them interchangeably."

Just then, there were footsteps in the yard again. It was Zhao Xiaotao who came in. Luo Qiao thought that there was someone to pick her up.

Without waiting for Luo Qiao's consent, Zhao Xiaomei walked out of the yard carrying her things: "Sister, why are you here?"

Zhao Xiaotao said, "My mom asked me to come over and ask Luo Qiao if she wants some vegetable seeds."

Luo Qiao didn't want to waste her time talking to them any more. "No need for seeds. Aunt Gao from the captain's family has already found some for me. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. I have to go out and dig some wild vegetables."

Zhao Xiaotao's eyes were now fixed on the thing in her second sister's hand. It's not that Zhao Xiaomei didn't notice the look in her sister's eyes, but she was the one who brought the thing out, so she couldn't let her eldest sister get it for free.

Zhao Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, then we won't bother you. Let me borrow this thing first, and I'll return it to you later."

Luo Qiao could already hear the people coming down the hillside, so she raised her voice and said, "Second sister Zhao, that won't work. I didn't bring much with me when I came to the village. I only have this pair of shoes on my feet.

So I bought new shoes in town today because I don’t have to work. I have to lend them to you because I don’t wear them myself. We are not related, do you have the nerve to steal things from an orphan like me?”

Zhao Xiaomei was a little anxious and replied, "Don't be so stingy. I'm just borrowing it to wear. I'm not not going to return it to you. Look how stingy you are."

When Luo Qiao heard that those people had already reached the gate, she raised her voice and said, "I'm not stingy. I bought these things because I had to work hard to find the herbs. I didn't even have clothes to change into before I bought them.

I need to wear it when I go to work tomorrow. What can I wear if I lend it to you? Besides, the size of the shoes is too small for you to wear. I can’t lend you the washbasin either. I just arrived in the village and I have nothing.

I've been washing my face with the bowl that Aunt Gao lent me these days, so I gritted my teeth and bought this basin. It's not that I'm stingy, but these things are necessities, and I really can't lend them to you."

Thank you all for your recommendations, muah!
