The Eve of Going to the Countryside (5)

When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the supply and marketing cooperative, she said to the salesperson: "Sister, I want five creams, ten pieces of clam oil, five pieces of soap and eight pieces of soap."

The salesperson said in a chatting tone while taking things: "Why did you buy so many things? Why didn't your adults come and let you, a child, buy so many things?"

"Sister, I came here with the aunts from the village. The aunts were a little tired from walking and sat down to rest not far away. It is a rare trip from the village to the city. The sisters and aunts in the village asked me to help buy some things. Unlike my sister, it’s good that you live in the city, and it’s convenient to have such a good job and buy things. I wish I could be like my sister when I grow up.”

Perhaps after hearing her compliments, the other party immediately became enthusiastic and said with an upright face, "It's all about serving the people." Her credibility would be higher if she could lower the raised corners of her mouth and eyes.

After Lu Xiaoxiao paid the money and ticket, she told the salesperson that she would send the things to her aunt first and then come back to buy the rest.

When she got to a place where no one was around, she put her things in the space, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. This time she bought two lunch boxes and two enamel cups.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw some labor gloves and bought twenty pairs without tickets. She looked at candles and matches and bought some without tickets.

She took her things and said goodbye to the salesperson, who enthusiastically said she would come and play next time she came to the city.

After an afternoon of shopping, Lu Xiaoxiao was exhausted. However, she also fully understood how difficult it is to live in this era. Just shopping, a seemingly ordinary thing, almost put herself in danger. .

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she should change her previous concepts as soon as possible and integrate herself into this era, instead of living here as a bystander.

Yes, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't think her behavior was any different from people of this era before. She thought she was already very cautious, but the reality told her that it was all about her looking at the sky from a well, and seeing things from her perspective. I don't know if she seems to be an exception in the eyes of others.

Take what happened this afternoon as an example. Whose child can be so old and have enough money and tickets to buy so many things? She doesn’t look like a child from a wealthy family. If she wasn’t just small and couldn’t carry so many things, she would go back and forth. I really don’t know how to explain it a few times.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little depressed when she returned home. She suddenly felt very lonely. Although she was alone before she wore this body, she was accompanied by her grandfather who loved her when she was growing up. Even if her grandfather was gone later, the familiar There are many traces of her and her grandfather's life in the city, so she doesn't feel lonely.

She has always been alone in this strange world. The unrest of this era has completely aroused the fear hidden deep in her heart, fearing that she will be doomed if she is not careful.

Lu Xiaoxiao took out a photo of her and her grandfather from the space. Looking at her smiling grandfather with a loving face, her tears could no longer stop pouring out of her eyes. They fell on the photo drop by drop. Why did God want her to come here? ? Why does she have to endure all this? I cried and fell asleep without realizing it.

In her dream, she saw her grandfather smiling at her, his smile still as loving as before, and he waved to her to let her pass.

When Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to her grandfather, she heard him say to her: "Grandpa's daughter has suffered a lot. Her eyes are swollen from crying. Grandpa feels sorry for her. Grandpa said that people have to go through many things in this life. You have passed many hurdles, but as long as you are not afraid of difficulties and keep moving forward, God will never treat anyone badly. If you don't understand many things, don't think about them. Follow your own heart and time will give you the answer."
