Rebirth as an Orphan (3)

Lu Xiaoxiao first went to settle the matter of collecting the compensation money and how to collect the subsidies in the future. On the way there, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang De to help her open two accounts. One would have a deposit of 500 yuan, the other 31,000 yuan, and the remaining 500 yuan was withdrawn for use.

When Zhang De saw that Lu Xiaoxiao had such plans for herself, he smiled in relief. He told Lu Xiaoxiao that the compensation offered by the team was 1,000 yuan. He was afraid that someone would harm her for money.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang De arrived at the office after chatting for a while with someone leading the way.

After that, she held the three small booklets and five bundles of banknotes. Two of the booklets were bankbooks, and the other was proof for receiving subsidies. With this, she could receive 32 yuan and 15 kilograms of food every month, as well as various coupons.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that no one was around, so she hurriedly put the things into her bag. Actually, she was putting the things into her space. After all, there was no safe space anywhere.

She looked at Zhang De, who had finished talking to the person-in-charge and was walking towards her. She told him that her father had a house for her and did not want to add burden on the team. She could just stay there.

When Zhang De heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, he nodded in agreement. After he sent Lu Xiaoxiao home, he told her that he would apply for leave the next day to go to the house with her to see if it was safe and if there was anything that needed repairing. He would let her move in after it was done.

After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Uncle Zhang away, she took out her watch from her space and looked at the time. It was already past five in the afternoon. With her small body, she did not want to cook after a long day, so she took out a plate of century egg and lean meat from her space for dinner.

After eating the porridge, Lu Xiaoxiao rested for a while before taking a shower and going to bed.

At 6:30 the next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, washed up, and drank a glass of milk. She packed up the things she would use that day and sat on a stool to wait.

Not long after, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Zhang De coming. After locking the door, she told Zhang De the address and sat on his bicycle to the house.

After about 10 minutes, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at her destination. She didn't need to look at the house to know that it was in an excellent location.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door with her key and walked in to find that it was a small courtyard house. There was only one entrance to the house, and the ground in the front yard was all paved with bricks. Only two trees were planted on the left and right. As it was winter, the leaves had all fallen, so it was impossible to tell what kind of trees they were.

There were three main rooms in front. There were two rooms on both sides. Perhaps it was because the original owner's parents often came to clean, other than a little dust, everything else was intact. She could move in after a simple cleaning.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang De spent the entire morning cleaning up. She planned to buy what she needed in the afternoon and move over the next day.

She thought to herself that she actually didn't have much to buy. All she could think of was spending a dollar and a coal ticket to buy a cart of coal. She had to burn coal in the stove. It was too cold in the house without coal for the stove. The temperature in winter was in the subzero.

Also, she had to get Uncle Zhang to help her pull the coal back in one trip. Otherwise, her small body would not be able to do this. That cart of coal would kill her.

She suddenly thought of the various tickets issued that day. It seemed that she had to use all the tickets issued this month as soon as possible.

It was already evening when Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhang De finished cleaning up. She couldn't resist Zhang De's enthusiasm and could only return to his house with him.

On the way to Zhang De's house, Lu Xiaoxiao secretly found a few beautiful headbands and two handkerchiefs embroidered with peach blossoms from her space and placed them in a small cloth bag she carried on her back. These could be given to the auntie and her daughter. It was impossible for her to not bring anything with her when she came to eat. One had to know that food was so precious in this era. It could not be taken for granted when others treated her well. Feelings were all mutual. It was impossible for one party to always give and the other to always accept.
