When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the supply store, she said to the salesperson, "Sister, I want five pieces of snowflake paste, ten pieces of clam oil and eight pieces of soap."
As the salesperson took the items, she said in a casual tone, "Why are you buying so many things? Why didn't your parents come with you? Why did they let a child like you buy so many things?"
"Sister, I came with the aunties in the village. The aunties are a little tired from walking and are sitting not far away to rest. We hardly come to the city, so the sisters and aunties in the village have asked me to help buy some things. It's good to not live in the city like you. It's so convenient to buy things and have such a good job. If only I could be like you when I grow up."
Perhaps because the other party heard her flattery, her attitude immediately became enthusiastic. She even said righteously, "We're all serving the people." If she could suppress the corners of her curled lips and eyes, it would be more believable.
After Lu Xiaoxiao paid with money and tickets, she told the salesperson that she would send the things to the auntie first before coming over to buy the rest.
When she reached an empty place, she placed her things in the space and walked towards the supply store again. This time, she bought two lunch boxes and two enamel cups.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw that there were work gloves, she bought 20 pairs without the tickets. She saw the candles and matches and bought some without the tickets.
She took her things and bade farewell to the salesperson. The other party even enthusiastically asked her to come to the city to play next time.
After an afternoon of shopping, Lu Xiaoxiao was extremely tired. However, she also fully understood how difficult it was to live in this era. Just buying things, which seemed very ordinary, almost put her in danger.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that she had to change her previous perspective as soon as possible and let herself integrate into this era instead of living here like a bystander.
That's right. Previously, Lu Xiaoxiao did not think that her behavior was any different from the people of this era. She felt that she was already very careful. However, reality told her that she was just looking at things from her perspective. She did not know that in the eyes of others, she had become an exception.
For example, what kind of child could have the money and tickets to buy so many things that afternoon? She did not look like a child from a rich family. If not for the fact that she was too small to carry so many things, she would really not know how to explain herself after going back and forth a few times.
When Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she was a little depressed. She suddenly felt very lonely. Although she was also alone before she transmigrated into this body, she had the company of her grandfather who loved her during her childhood. Even though her grandfather was no longer around, that familiar city had many traces of her and her grandfather living together, so she did not feel lonely.
She had always been alone in this unfamiliar world. The unrest of this era had completely stimulated the fear hidden in the depths of her heart, afraid that she would be consigned to eternal damnation if she was not careful.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a photo of her and her grandfather from the space. Looking at her grandfather, who was smiling lovingly, her tears could no longer be stopped and dripped onto the photo. Why did God let her come here? Why did she have to endure all this? She cried and fell asleep unknowingly.
In her dream, she saw her grandfather smiling at her. His smile was still as loving as ever. Her grandfather waved her over.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to her grandfather and heard him say to her, "Grandpa's Little Darling has suffered. See, even your little eyes are swollen from crying. This makes Grandpa's heart ache. Listen to Grandpa, people have to experience many things in their lives and cross many hurdles. As long as you're not afraid of difficulties and keep moving forward bravely, the heavens will never treat anyone badly. Don't think about many things if you can't understand them. Just follow your own heart. Time will give you an answer."
