Before leaving the house of the chief scholar, Lou Xiaoe secretly went to find He Yuzhu.
"What if the twelve zodiac signs become ugly again?”Lou Xiaoe looked at He Yuzhu eagerly.
"Young miss, those are all radishes. If they become ugly, just throw them away."
"Then…then can I still ask you for it?”Suddenly, Lou Xiaoe lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"Sigh, forget it. When I have time, I'll give you a wooden carving. But this takes time. Tell me, what picture do you want? You can only tell me one!!”
He Yuzhu didn't want to carve radish flowers for her every day. Although carving a piece of wood would take some time, it could be done once and for all.
"Only one?" Lou Xiaoe felt a little disappointed. After thinking about it, her eyes lit up and she said,"Then can you carve a picture of yourself? I'll treat it as a mascot. Hehe…"
"Fine, but you can't use me to ward off evil spirits.”He Yuzhu said.
"Go to hell, you don't look like a door god!”
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. How are you going to return the gift I gave you?”He Yuzhu suddenly asked.
This was something that Lou Xiaoe did not expect. Her face suddenly turned red. Would this be suspected of exchanging love tokens?
But then she heard He Yuzhu's next words: "I don't want the gift. Do me a favor.”
"What favor? Tell me." Lou Xiaoe relaxed, but at the same time, she felt a little disappointed.
"Later, when you carry that cardboard box and wait for me to get into the car, you can say that this is an egg. Say that it's to thank me for giving you the twelve zodiac signs.”
"Oh? Why?" Lou Xiaoe asked in confusion.
"Don't ask why. You have to pretend that there are really eggs inside. Don't let others see through you.”He Yuzhu reminded.
"Alright then…" Lou Xiao 'e dragged out her voice and agreed.
"Xiao He, the car is here!" Factory Manager Yang's voice sounded outside the door.
"He's here!" He Yuzhu quickly left.
Lou Xiaoe looked at the big cardboard box and went forward to pick it up. It was empty, and it didn't look like there were eggs inside.
An idea came to her mind.
The Lou family said goodbye to Factory Manager Yang and He Yuzhu.
The two of them got into the jeep in the factory.
Just as the car was about to start, she heard a " Wait a minute."
He saw Lou Xiaoe holding a large cardboard box and carefully walking out.
"He Yuzhu, thank you for carving the 12 zodiac signs for me. I don't have anything to give you.”
As she spoke, she placed the box next to He Yuzhu, who was sitting in the back seat. She waved at him.
"Miss Lou, you're too polite. I haven't finished the eggs you gave me last time. This is…"
When the others heard this, they all laughed. These two young people were indeed exchanging pleasantries.
Mrs. Lou frowned slightly, wondering when her precious daughter would give her eggs.
The car started and He Yuzhu said to Manager Yang in embarrassment,""Factory Manager, last time Miss Lou begged me to carve a chicken for her. She was born in the year of the rooster. I didn't expect her to give me a basket of eggs as a thank you. Today, she also gave me so many things.”
"Ha…the little girl wants to express her gratitude. She didn't ask you to do anything out of line, so just accept it.”Factory Manager Yang waved his hand disapprovingly.
In the past, Uncle Ho would also follow Factory Manager Yang to cook for some leaders. Most of the time, they would bring back some leftovers.
The car sent He Yuzhu back to the courtyard house.
When the people in the courtyard heard the sound of a small car, they were all curious.
Seeing that it was He Yuzhu who got out of the car and that it was Manager Yang who sent him back, they were all stunned.
He Yuzhu carried a big cardboard box in her arms and walked back carefully.
"Zhu Zi, what are you holding?" Third Aunt wished that her eyes could see through things.
"Delicious food! What could be more blissful than eating well these days?!!”He Yuzhu happily returned home under everyone's envious gazes.
As soon as he entered the house, he put the box on the ground and couldn't help but curse Lou Xiaoe in his heart.
He had asked her to pretend that there were eggs in it, but this woman couldn't have put a stone in it, right? It was so heavy.
He opened the box and was dumbfounded.
It was full of delicious food. There were more than ten catties of meat, a big carp, prawns that were not used up today, a large piece of beef, a white striped chicken, and vegetables.
No wonder it was so heavy. This Lou Xiaoe had filled up all the food in their kitchen that they hadn't finished eating today.
He really couldn't bear the consequences!
Looking at the pile of things, He Yuzhu was worried.
There were no appliances like fridges and freezers now. How could they finish all the food in such a short time?
This was not the era where people threw away spoilt food. There was no such thing as a waste of food.
It was a situation where wastage was absolutely impossible!!!!
Other than the beef and persimmon dish for the Deaf Old Lady, the rest of the beef was made into beef jerky.
The pork was made into cured meat and hung on the windowsill. Now that the stick had just been born, no one would come to steal.
The vegetables couldn't be kept, so he would give some to the old man's house. The rest would be salted vegetables for breakfast.
After a round of hard work, he finally settled the things that Lou Xiao 'e sent.
PS: Don't sell hard work, don't sell misery.
He only asked for free flowers. Give others roses, leave the fragrance in your hands!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has given flowers to support this book!
