Chapter 36 - Settle Down (1)

They quickly returned to the village on the ox cart. The youth workers alighted at the entrance of the village. Uncle Liu drove the ox cart to send her back to the small courtyard and arrived after a while.

Lu Xiaoxiao got out of the cart and opened the courtyard door. Uncle Liu helped her move her things into the small courtyard. When he saw the new courtyard, he said that it had been cleaned up very well.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the two bags. She saw that one contained an iron pot, and the other contained a small stove.

Hence, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Jianguo to take out the iron pot from the bag and install it in the kitchen. Then, he helped her carry the stove into the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that Liu Jianguo was staring at the iron pot, so she asked curiously, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this pot?"

Liu Jianguo shook his head when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words. Then, he said, "There's no problem. It's just that this is a good pot. I saw it and thought about how all the iron tools in the family had been used for the country. It's not easy to get such a pot now. Your uncle is a capable person."

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Jianguo's words, she thought to herself, Could it be that Liu Jianguo doesn't have a pot? However, she didn't dare to ask. She didn't have the ability to get an iron pot. This was a rare commodity. If there was really a chance to get an iron pot in the future, Liu Jianguo could help him if he really needed it.

Liu Jianguo saw that it was getting late outside. Seeing that there was nothing else she needed help with, he drove the ox cart away.

After Lu Xiaoxiao closed the door, she patrolled her territory like a tiger and nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Xiaoxiao entered the house and placed the bowls she had bought that day in the cupboard. The cakes and sugar were placed in the bed cabinet in the main room. She thought for a moment and took out two locks from her space to lock the bed cabinet and cupboard, afraid that someone would rummage through her house.

Lu Xiaoxiao went to the bedroom and took out the velvet blanket from the space. Then, she put a light blue cover over the velvet blanket. Anyway, she had just arrived, so no one knew what she had brought.

After Lu Xiaoxiao put on the blanket cover, she took out a pillow and put on a pillowcase in the same style as the blanket. Then, she took out a few clothes from the box and stored them in her space. These were all the original owner's clothes. Her clothes had always been placed in the cloakroom of the villa in the space.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and took out a set of black and blue down jacket and down-filled pants from the cloakroom and placed them in the bed cabinet. These two sets of clothes were high-end clothes she had bought at the mall. The style was retro. Only the collar and cuffs were embroidered with plum blossoms. The fabric was made of pure cotton cloth with only a thin layer of duck wool inside, but it was very warm to wear.

The cotton clothes of people nowadays had been worn for several years and looked like a thin layer. It was not that they did not want to wear thick ones, but they needed tickets to buy cotton. The cotton tickets issued every year were only enough for children to make a thin cotton jacket. The down jacket she took out looked similar to theirs. The only difference was that hers looked like it had just been made and was newer than theirs.

After Lu Xiaoxiao took the clothes, she thought about what else she needed to take out of the space in the bedroom. She thought for a long time and couldn't think of anything, so she decided not to take them. She would take them out when she needed them.

Lu Xiaoxiao left the bedroom and went to the kitchen. She took out a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and a bottle of seasoning wine from her space and tore up all their logos before throwing them into the space to destroy the evidence.

After Lu Xiaoxiao took out the seasoning, she took out an enamel cup she had bought in Jing City and poured a bottle of corn oil into it.

She only took out two catties of flour and two catties of rice. When she came, she only had a suitcase, a backpack, and a big bag for the blanket. If she did not exchange for food and vegetables or borrow them from the team, wouldn't it be suspicious if she had food and vegetables to eat? Therefore, she had to do what she needed to do.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that the sky was gradually darkening. She took out a table lamp from her space and the kerosene lamp she had brought from Jing City and lit them up. To be honest, she was really not used to the brightness of the kerosene lamp. It was too dark. She was afraid that her eyes would be short-sighted under such light for a long time.

Then why had she lit two lamps? Although her current residence was relatively remote, she was afraid that someone would come to her door before she could light the kerosene lamp, so she lit both. This way, if someone came, she could directly store the lamp in her space so that it would not be too dark and suspicious.
