When they arrived at the small courtyard, because there was no cellar, Lu Xiaoxiao asked them to help her place the food and vegetables on the kitchen floor.
When Auntie Cai Hua saw Lu Xiaoxiao place the food and vegetables on the kitchen floor, she frowned. Then she said, "Xiaoxiao, you can't store your food like this. Every family is short of food now. Every family has hidden their food well, afraid that others will find out. If you don't have a cellar at home, find a cabinet to store the food and lock it in the room where you sleep."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Auntie Cai Hua's words, she was enlightened. No wonder there was a saying that one would suffer if one did not listen to the words of an elder. At their age, they had definitely experienced a lot and were experienced. It was always good to listen to their opinions.
Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that she did not have a cabinet, so she said to Auntie Cai Hua, "Auntie, I will have to trouble Big brother Liu and Third brother Liu to accompany me to Third Master's house to buy a cabinet later."
When Liu Baozhu heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, he said, "Sister, what trouble? It's just moving a cabinet. Your brother might not know anything else, but he has the strength."
When Auntie Cai Hua heard her silly son's words, she said with a smile, "Hurry up and go. You can be at ease if you settle the matter as soon as possible. I'll go back first. When you're done, go back early. Baoguo will be back today."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Auntie Cai Hua's words, she thought of the second brother of the Liu family sending Liu Xiaofeng to work at the clothing factory. She did not know how the situation was, but with Wang Gang around, there should be no problem.
After the four of them left the small courtyard, Auntie Cai Hua returned home. She, Big Brother Liu, and Third Brother walked towards Third Master's house.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Third Master's house, she saw that he was still sitting alone in the courtyard smoking. She felt that Third Master was quite interesting. Instead of staying in the house on a cold day, he actually went to the courtyard to sit.
When Third Master heard someone arrive, he looked up in the direction of the door and said, "It's the girl from last time. What are you lacking at home this time?"
Seeing that Third Master had asked her, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "Third Master, I want a cabinet, the kind with two levels, and two wooden buckets. Do you have anything ready here?"
"Wait a moment. I'll go in and see if there's any."
After a while, Third Master came out. Then, she said, "You're really lucky. Coincidentally, someone ordered a cabinet but didn't want it anymore. I can give it to you now. You are getting Baozhu and Baoliang to bring it back for you now, right?"
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Third Master's words, she nodded and said, "Yes, Third Master. Big Brother Liu and Third Brother are here to help me carry the cabinet. Please let me know how much it cost."
"Just give me ten dollars and I'll give you another steamer and two dustpans."
"Thank you, Third Master. Here's the money. I will also have to borrow your wooden cart too."
"It's right there. Baozhu, pull the cart over and I'll help you load into the cart."
Soon, everything was placed in the cart. Eldest Brother Liu and Third Brother pulled the wooden cart and walked quickly. Eldest Brother Liu was right in the morning. He was indeed strong.
After the items were pulled to the small courtyard, the cabinet and wooden bucket were placed in the bedroom, and the rest were placed in the kitchen.
Liu Baozhu and Liu Baoliang helped her put the things away and were about to go back. Seeing that they were about to leave, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and handed it to Eldest Brother Liu. "This cigarette is for Eldest Brother and Third Brother to smoke. Don't refuse. I don't know how to smoke as a girl. It's useless even if I have it."
When Liu Baozhu heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, he thought to himself, "This is a good thing. I've only smoked it once. I really don't know how to describe the taste, but it's more comfortable than the smoke he rolled himself. However, I still have to see what Third Brother thinks," so he turned around and looked at him…
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Eldest Brother and Third Brother of the Liu family away, she first put the kitchen dregs into her space, then went to the room to put them into the lower layer of the cabinet and lock it.
She thought for a moment and went to the kitchen to put 15 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 20 eggs into the space. When she reached the bedroom, she placed the sweet potatoes in the wooden bucket and covered them. The eggs were placed on the top of the cabinet and locked. Before she could sit down and rest, she heard a knock on the door.
