Early the next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao woke up while Liu Xiaofeng was folding the quilt. When she saw it was already dawn outside the window, she knew it was getting late, so she quickly got up, put on her clothes, and folded the quilt.
After breakfast, Wang Gang helped her take all her things to the small courtyard. From today on, she will live in her own home.
After bringing the things to the small courtyard, Lu Xiaoxiao did not tidy them up. Instead, she locked the door and went back to the captain's house with Wang Gang. On the way, Lu Xiaoxiao told Wang Gang that she would go to the county with him to buy some things, and that this month's subsidy was due. collar.
Wang Gang nodded in agreement after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that her house still lacked a pot, so she said to Wang Gang: Uncle Wang, do you know where in the county I can buy an iron pot and a small stove that can burn firewood?
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Wang Gang thought for a while and said, "There may be one somewhere. I'll take a look when I get to the county. If it's available, buy it. If not, I can only buy it in the city and deliver it to you."
After hearing Wang Gang's words, Lu Xiaoxiao was sure that he was going to the black market to buy pot, but she could only pretend to know nothing. She did not dare to say that she knew about the black market and had been to the black market.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, she saw that it was Uncle Liu who was driving the cattle cart to the county seat this time, and it was the second brother of the Liu family who accompanied Liu Xiaofeng.
After Liu Xiaofeng put everything on the bullock cart, everyone got on it. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Xiaoxiao saw a few educated youths waiting there. It seemed that they were also going to the county town. It was said that she had been out of the country since that time. I haven’t seen them since I became an educated youth.
After they got on the bullock cart, Lu Xiaoxiao found that in addition to the five people who came with her, there were three old educated youths. When they saw her looking at them, they nodded to her. Lu Xiaoxiao also nodded to them when they saw this. Head down.
With the experience of riding an oxcart last time, Lu Xiaoxiao wore two pairs of warm long johns and two pairs of socks this time. She used the socks to tie the legs of the long johns tightly, although this could not completely prevent the wind from getting in. , but much better than the first time.
Those female educated youths no longer wore skirts, they were all wearing cotton pants. They must have been severely frozen last time.
It hadn't snowed heavily in the past few days, and the road was relatively easy to walk. We quickly arrived at the county seat. After getting off the ox cart, Uncle Liu said we would meet here at two o'clock in the afternoon and go back. If it was late, he would have to find a way to go back by himself.
Wang Gang asked Liu Xiaofeng and the second brother of the Liu family to wait at the oxcart for a while while he took her to do some errands first.
Lu Xiaoxiao first went to the post office to collect the subsidy, and then she and I had to send a telegram to tell Zhang De that everything was fine here.
After Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the post office, Wang Gang took her certificate to the counter and asked her to tell the comrades at the post office that she would be the one to collect the subsidy every month from now on.
After Lu Xiaoxiao received the subsidy, she went to the other side to send a telegram. The message was urgent and cost 1 cents per character. At first, she thought that sending a telegram was the same as sending a text message, so she told the comrade who sent the telegram the content. : "We have arrived at Tianshui Village. Everything is fine. Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. He will go back to see you when he has time."
After saying this, she also sighed. Nowadays, sending a text message is much more expensive than sending a text message. A text message is only a cent, but now this one is several yuan.
Before she could worry about the few dollars, she heard the comrade say seventy-two cents.
What, how much did he say just now, seventy-two cents? Isn't it only 12 cents per word? She just said a lot of words, how could it be only 70 cents per word?
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned to the paper he was going to send a telegram on. There were only six words on it, "Good guy, don't miss Xiao until you are safe." Is this how the telegram was sent? Are you sure the other party can understand?
Seeing that the telegram was sent, Lu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pay. Since he sent it like this, Zhang De should be able to understand it. She could only comfort herself now, but she didn't know how others sent telegrams. Many people sent telegrams. There are only one or two words in the newspaper, but hers is already too much.
