Chapter 33 Leaving (1)

The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao woke up while Liu Xiaofeng was folding the quilt. She saw that it was getting late when she saw the sky outside the window, so she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, and then folded the quilt.

After breakfast, Wang Gang helped her take all the things to the small courtyard. From today onwards, she will live in her own home.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't tidy up the things after they got them to the small courtyard, but 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 arrived. collar.

Wang Gang nodded in agreement after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that her house still lacked a pot, so she turned to Wang Gang and said, "Uncle Wang, do you know where I can buy an iron pot and a small stove that can burn firewood in the county?"

Wang Gang thought for a while after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words: "There may be a place. I'll check it out when I get to the county seat. If there is one, I'll buy it. If not, I can only buy it in the city and send it to you."

After hearing Wang Gang's words, Lu Xiaoxiao was sure that he was going to the black market to buy pots, but she could only pretend that she didn't know anything. She didn't 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 drove the ox cart to the county this time, and the second elder brother of Liu's family went with Liu Xiaofeng.

After Liu Xiaofeng put all the things on the bullock cart, everyone got on it. When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw a few educated youths waiting there. It seemed that they were going to the county town. I haven't seen them since the educated youth.

After they got into the bullock cart, Lu Xiaoxiao found that besides the five people who came with her, there were three old educated youths. When they saw her looking at them, they nodded to her, and Lu Xiaoxiao nodded to them too. down.

With the experience of riding a bullock cart last time, Lu Xiaoxiao wore two pairs of thermal long johns this time, and two pairs of socks, and tied the legs of the long trousers tightly with socks, although this could not completely prevent the wind from entering , but much better than the first time.

Those female educated youths didn’t wear skirts anymore, they were all wearing cotton trousers honestly, probably because they were frozen hard last time.

It hasn’t snowed heavily these days, and the road is relatively easy to walk. We arrived at the county seat soon. After getting off the bullock cart, Uncle Liu said that we would gather here to go back at two o’clock in the afternoon.

Wang Gang asked Liu Xiaofeng and the second brother of the Liu family to wait at the bullock cart for a while, and he took her to do some errands first.

Lu Xiaoxiao first went to the post office to collect the subsidy, and then she sent 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 come to receive the subsidy every month.

After Lu Xiaoxiao received the subsidy, she went to the other side to send a telegram, and she sent an urgent message, one word ten cents. 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 : "I have arrived at Tianshui Village, everything is fine, don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I will go back to see you when I have time."

After saying this, she also sighed, sending telegrams is much more expensive than text messages now, and text messages are only ten cents, and now these are several dollars.

Before she felt sorry for the few dollars, she heard the comrade say seven cents.

What, how much did he say just now, seven cents? Isn't it ten cents a word? She said a lot of words just now, how could it be seven cents.

Lu Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes to the paper he was about to send a telegram to, the good guy, there were only six words on it, don't read Xiao Xiao until you are safe. Is that 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 understand it. She can only comfort herself like this now, but she doesn't know how others send the telegram. Many people send the telegram. There are only one or two words in the newspaper, and hers is already too much.
