10 Rebirth as an Orphan (4)

As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Uncle Zhang's house, she saw a gentle woman in her forties walk out.

She thought that this was Uncle Zhang's partner, so she immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. Sorry for disturbing you today."

When Auntie Zhang heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, she went forward and held her hand as she led her into the house. As she walked, she said, "Don't stand on ceremony. In the future, come over if you want to eat anything. You don't have to stand on ceremony with me."

Through their short interaction, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that the other party was a straightforward person. She would not beat around the bush. It was easiest to get along with such a person.

When Lu Xiaoxiao entered the house, she saw a girl a few years older than her doing needlework. Hence, she sweetly greeted her and took out the hair tie and handkerchief from her bag. She handed them to her and said, "Sister, this hair tie and handkerchief are for you and Auntie."

Zhang Fang looked at the thing Lu Xiaoxiao handed her and waved her hand, saying that it was too expensive for her to accept.

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Fang's words, she turned to Auntie Zhang and said, "Auntie, I didn't stand on ceremony and came to your house to eat. Now that I'm giving something to Sister, she won't accept it. This way, I won't dare to come to your house in the future."

When Auntie Zhang heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, the mother and daughter could only put away the things she offered.

Soon, the food was ready. There were a total of three dishes and a basin of steamed buns. The dishes were pork stewed with vermicelli, fried vegetarian balls, and a braised fish. It was rare to eat meat at this time. Even if there was meat, people would hide it and eat it secretly. From these dishes, one could sense the family's concern for her.

During the meal, Auntie Zhang asked Lu Xiaoxiao what she planned to do in the future. When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Auntie Zhang's words, she told her about moving to the house.

When Auntie Zhang heard that Lu Xiaoxiao was moving the next day, she said that she and Sister Xiaofang would go over to help the next day.

Soon, the meal was over. Lu Xiaoxiao bade farewell to the family and walked home. She also lived in the same courtyard and it was not far away. When she was about to reach home, she saw a boy of about 14 or 15 years old sitting under a tree.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked closer curiously and realized that the other party's face was injured. Perhaps because he sensed someone coming, the other party looked up at her with a cold and sharp gaze.

At first, Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked, not because of his gaze, but by the sharp gaze that should belong to a young man. It took her a few seconds to react.

For some reason, Lu Xiaoxiao took out two white rabbit milk candy from her cloth bag and handed it to him. Seeing that the other party had no intention of reaching out to take it, she walked forward and placed the candy on his lap. "Daddy said that when you're unhappy, your heart will be as sweet as candy when you eat the candy, and you won't be unhappy anymore."

After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for a response. As she walked, she complained in her heart that it was too uncomfortable to pretend to be an eight-year-old child.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao still did not know that she had been completely become linked up with the other party because of these two candy and a sentence.

After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao rested for a while. Seeing that it was still early, she planned to pack a portion of her things first. She went to the original owner's room first, then she put most of the original owner's things into her space, leaving only her clothes and blanket.

After Lu Xiaoxiao packed up the original owner's things, she went to the original owner's parents' room. She also put most of their things into her space and left only the blanket and clothes.

Next up was the kitchen. Lu Xiaoxiao saw that other than some seasonings, there were only pots and pans on the counter. There was also a cupboard at the side. There were about 5 catties of rice, 3 catties of noodles, and some miscellaneous food. There were some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbages against the wall on the ground. She had no space to store these things.

When she returned to the living room, Lu Xiaoxiao saw a cabinet. She opened it and saw two jars of oatmeal essence, a few fruit cans, some steamed cakes, and dried sweet potatoes. These were probably the snacks the original owner usually ate.

Lu Xiaoxiao put all the food in the cabinet into her space. She walked around and saw that there was nothing to pack, so she transported into the space to take a shower and sleep. It had been a mess outside for the past few days, so she planned to rest in the space. Fortunately, it was safer in this era without cameras.
