Dinner at the second sister’s house

"It's better to be careful in everything. Although Uncle Pingjiang doesn't work in the brigade, Aunt Liu still works in the brigade, so on the surface, your family should not have too much contact with me, otherwise I'm afraid that the captain will do it because of me. Put on some shoes for your family.”

"I understand. I will tell my parents about it and ask them to be careful about the captain."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded after hearing Liu Ermei's words, and then asked: "Second sister, when are you free to go to the county town, I'll treat you to something delicious."

"Next weekend. I'm afraid I can't do it this week. I have to go to class."

"Okay, then you come to my house for lunch next Saturday."

"No problem, you have to prepare more delicious food."

"Don't worry, my family lacks everything except food." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he took out a letter of pastries from his bag and put it on the table.

Liu Ermei saw that Lu Xiaoxiao brought food to her house again. She said to Lu Xiaoxiao embarrassedly: "Xiaoxiao, didn't you say that you don't bring gifts when you come to my house? Why did you bring it again?"

"This is not a gift. These are pastries I bought in Beijing. I thought they were delicious, so I brought some for you to try."

"Don't do this again next time. It's expensive for you to live in the county now. Even if you have subsidies, you can't afford the extremely expensive prices in the county, so you'd better save some money."

"I know, I don't spend money as lavishly as before."

"That's good. You sit down for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready."

"good."

When Liu Ermei came to the kitchen and saw Mr. Liu cutting up the salted pig head, she asked Mr. Liu: "Mom, when will my dad get off work?"

"I don't know, but your dad told me yesterday that he is likely to have to work overtime recently."

"Then we have to wait for dad to come back before eating?"

"Don't wait for your dad, let's eat first. You can bring the vegetables to the Kang table. You can eat after the cabbage is fried."

"Okay." After Liu Ermei finished speaking, she picked up the pig's head and walked towards the main room.

After Liu Ermei left, Ms. Liu took the oil shuttle out of the oil can and spread it around the pot. Then she poured the chopped cabbage into the pot and fried it. After a while, the cabbage was ready.

"Second sister, come and bring the bowls and chopsticks to the main room, you can eat now." Ms. Liu shouted to Second sister Liu.

"Okay, I'll come."

After Mrs. Liu put the last dish of fried cabbage on the Kang table, she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, there are no good dishes at home, so I can only serve you with these dishes. I hope you won't dislike it."

"Aunt Liu, how could I dislike it? The dishes you cooked today can be used as banquets in the village. It would be too ungrateful for me to dislike them."

"Just don't dislike it. Eat quickly and eat more. Don't be polite. Treat this as your own home."

"I understand, but Uncle Pingjiang hasn't come back yet. Should we wait for Uncle Pingjiang to come back and have dinner together?"

"No need to wait. The food factory has to work overtime recently. You don't know when Uncle Pingjiang will be back. Let's eat first."

"good."

After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao checked that it was only after twelve o'clock, so instead of rushing back, she planned to go to the back mountain to have a look.

Since she moved to the county town, she has not been to the small world in the back mountain. She doesn't know what is going on in that small world now, or is it still the same as before she left last time.
