I Am That Little Fox [Quick Transmigration] Chapter 109: The Village Tyrant and the Little Educated Youth (23)

Bai Xiaoxi couldn’t walk anymore.

 

Liang Sheng glanced at her and consciously moved to the end of the queue.

 

“I’ll wait here, you go and do your business.” Bai Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed, “What do you want to eat?”

 

“It’s enough time.” Liang Sheng said.

 

People were coming and going on the street, and if she was thrown here, he always felt like she would be deceived in the blink of an eye.

 

Bai Xiaoxi didn’t know that she was such a naive and foolish person in his eyes. She took a deep breath of the aroma in the air and said happily: “I haven’t eaten fried food in a long time.”

 

The food in the educated youth area lacks salt and oil. The five yuan per month for food is barely enough to fill the stomach. If you want to improve the food, the most you can do is go to the villagers privately to buy an egg or some brown sugar, and you have to hide and eat it secretly, afraid that others will see it, but reluctant to share it, which will only increase embarrassment.

 

Although Bai Xiaoxi can eat candies and biscuits from time to time, fried food is her eternal love. No matter how much she ate last time or how tired she was, she will still salivate the next time she smells the fragrance.

 

The fried dough sticks and sugar cakes cost one fine food stamps plus five cents, and a bowl of soy milk cost two cents. The two of them sat there eating until their bellies were round, and only then were they willing to get up and leave.

 

Walking out of the breakfast shop, Liang Sheng pointed to the bookstore opposite and said, “You go there and read, and I’ll come find you after I finish my work.”

 

When he brought Bai Xiaoxi to the county town, he was only worried that she would clamor to go to the black market together. That kind of place was really not the place she should go.

 

He was just thinking about how much headache he would have if she made a fuss, when he heard her cheerfully say: “Okay.”

 

Liang Sheng looked at her in surprise.

 

Bai Xiaoxi waved at him and hopped across the road, “I won’t run around, don’t worry.”

 

Where Liang Sheng was going, he definitely needed to avoid other people. If she goes together, the two of them would be too conspicuous and would get him into trouble, so although she was a little curious, she decided not to join in the fun.

 

Before Liang Sheng could relax his frown, she had slipped into the bookstore and disappeared.

 

She was unexpectedly easy to talk to, but Liang Sheng found that he didn’t seem to feel relieved because of it. Some pictures flashed in his mind from time to time. One was when he came to find her after finishing his work, but there was no sign of her. The other was when she was wandering around and was lost. Sold to the mountains, there were even cases where she was coaxed away with a few candies.

 

Standing on the side of the road, Liang Sheng shook his head vigorously, wondering if he was possessed by some old mother.

 

“Tsk, city kids are troublesome.” He frowned and muttered, looked at the bookstore again, turned around and strode away.

 

It’s better to finish things early and come to her early, so that the child won’t come to find him crying.

 

Today’s bookstores are not rich in variety, but there are many books that Bai Xiaoxi has never read before. She took a copy of “Rice Cultivation Technology” and stood in front of the bookshelf to read.

 

After only reading for half an hour, Liang Sheng came. Bai Xiaoxi bought the book for thirty cents, and the two of them left the bookstore and started shopping.

 

With money and tickets in hand, Bai Xiaoxi felt confident when shopping. If she hadn’t considered that there were too many things and it would be irritating to take them back, she could have bought a sack.

 

At lunch at the restaurant, Liang Sheng asked Bai Xiaoxi, “What do you want to eat?”

 

“Is there any meat?” Bai Xiaoxi asked eagerly.

 

Eating meat also requires meat tickets. She didn’t read the tickets in Liang Sheng’s hand, so she didn’t know if he had any.

 

“Have.”
