The deal is done (2)

"I'll take a look when I get home. You can just send me here." Lu Xiaoxiao said after putting the things in her bag.

"Boss asked us to take you home." Mu Mu said immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.

"We are almost at the bottom of the mountain now. Nothing will happen. You guys should go back to the mountain. Maybe your boss has something for you to do."

After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Monkey and Mumu looked at each other, and then said, "Then let's go back to the mountain."

"Um."

When Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she immediately lit the two kangs at home. Then she took out a cup of hot milk and a big stick of rice from the space and sat on the kang to eat.

Lu Xiaoxiao had just finished lunch when she heard someone knocking on the door, so she put the leftover food on the table into the space and went to the yard to open the door.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the courtyard and saw her second sister standing there with her head curled up, so she immediately took her second sister into the main room and sat on the kang without saying a word, and gave her a glass of hot water.

"Second sister, drink some hot water and warm yourself up."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister picked up the water on the table and drank several sips before she said, "Today's weather is so cold, my hands and feet are numb from the cold."

"Today's weather is indeed very cold." Lu Xiaoxiao replied after hearing what her second sister said.

"Xiaoxiao, why weren't you at home when I came to see you in the morning?" The second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao after drinking the water in the cup.

"I went up the mountain to collect firewood this morning."

"Okay, I originally wanted to ask you if you want to go to the county seat with me tomorrow." The second sister said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.

"Why are you going to the county town in such a cold weather?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing what her second sister said.

"I want to go to the county town to buy some fabrics and New Year items."

"It's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. You don't need to start preparing New Year's things so early."

"Why don't we have to go so early? Materials are in short supply now. It's hard to buy things. It's even harder to buy things during the Chinese New Year. If you don't get ready now, you'll have to eat sweet potatoes during the Chinese New Year."

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled coquettishly after hearing her second sister's words, and then whispered: "You're not so excited, are you?"

"Why not? It seems like you are someone who has not prepared New Year's goods. Tomorrow you go to the county with me, and then see how I prepare New Year's goods, so that you will know how to do it in the future." The second sister followed her sister with a pair of He said with a meat-eating expression.

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard her second sister's words, she didn't answer her immediately. Instead, she thought for a while and then said, "What time will we go to the county seat tomorrow?"

"Waiting for the bullock cart at the entrance of the village at nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Um."

The second sister chatted with Lu Xiaoxiao for half an hour and then went home. Her parents and younger sister were both weaving bamboo baskets at home. Naturally, she had to go home quickly to help so that she could make more bamboo baskets tomorrow. You can get it to the purchase station to exchange for more money.

After Lu Xiaoxiao sent her second sister away, she went into the house and packed some things, then closed the door and walked up the mountain. Since she was going to the county town with her second sister tomorrow, she had to go up the mountain to talk to Zhang Xu so as not to worry him.

"Didn't you say you shouldn't go up the mountain?" Zhang Xu asked when he saw the little girl walking towards him.

"Originally I didn't plan to go up the mountain, but something happened and I had to go up the mountain. I was helpless."
