The aunt turned around and accurately found Xue Fu's large package from the pile of packages behind her, which was like a small mountain. She carried it to the counter and asked Xue Fu to confirm and sign it.

"Yes, yes. That's right." Xue Fu looked around at the outside of the package, saw that the seal hadn't been opened, nodded, and then picked up her pen to sign and confirm.

After signing, she glanced at the empty seat next to her in the post office.

There were quite a few people at the post office today; there were two lines of people waiting in line at the parcel mailing area.

The benches in the post office, which were specifically placed for people to wait and rest, were almost all empty.

Xue Fu had no intention of carrying the package away by herself. She waited for a while until an empty seat became available, then dragged the package over and sat down.

Gu Chong wondered when he would be able to queue up and buy cured meat, while Xue Fu was curious about what her parents would send this time, especially what the letter attached to the package would say.

Will I get another scolding?

But her blind date must have explained things clearly to his family.

Xue Fu planned to write a letter back after reading the letter.

She was also very frustrated.

Suddenly finding a blind date out of nowhere? Who does that?!

Xue Fu started unpacking the package on the spot.

Her family sent her another bag of winter clothes this time.

She rummaged through the clothes and found a khaki cotton-padded coat. It was well-stuffed with cotton, a clean new garment, and the fabric felt soft to the touch, yet it was very thick.

She also had two pairs of wool pants, which she thought she could wear as thermal underwear to avoid getting rheumatism.

Although Xue Fu loves beauty, she is even more afraid of the cold.

In winter, she wears thermal underwear, and she likes to wear it. It's so warm and resistant to the cold. She really loves it!

Besides that, there were several pairs of woolen socks and a pair of cotton shoes with a fluffy outer layer, like snow boots.

Besides clothing, the most common items are food.

Xue Fu found several cans of yellow peaches and cans of luncheon meat.

In the small pouch containing the money, she also saw several pieces of imported chocolate.

She raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. This was her favorite brand.

I never thought I could still find this in this day and age!

She pouted and immediately peeled one and took a bite.

The rich chocolate melts in your mouth!

Xue Fu used to occasionally find chocolate too sweet and would stop liking it after eating it for a while.

Now I just feel like I've never suffered before.

Once you've experienced hardship, you'll become more honest.

Xue Fu rummaged through the clothes again and finally found the letter that had been sent this time in a lining.

She took two deep breaths, swallowed, and mentally prepared herself before opening the package.

The letter contained another page filled with a mix of male and female insults written by her parents.

Xue Fu: ......

Xue Fu: !!!

The contents were almost identical to the letter in the package that Comrade Zhang Shu had given her last time.

"Xue Fu, you better shut up!!! You're so young, what are you doing dating!!! Break up with him right now!!! No dating allowed!!! You brat!!!"

"I remember when educated youth went to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Why are you going there to find a partner?!"

"......."

Xue Fu subconsciously held her breath, feeling as if her parents' voices were echoing in her ears.

She looked at the letter carefully, but... the more she looked, the more something seemed off.

She unfolded the letter, smoothed out the paper, and read it carefully again.

But I was just one clue away from figuring out what was wrong with me.

Xue Fu frowned, no longer bothering to analyze the contents of the letter.

When Gu Chong arrived carrying the cured meat wrapped in dark yellow oil paper, he saw her sitting on a stool with an open package at her feet. She looked thoughtful and was completely quiet, unaware that he had come to find her.

Gu Chong walked to her knees, bent down, and whispered, "Afu, Afu?"

Xue Fu's gaze was finally awakened and focused again, and her focus fell on him when she looked up.

She blinked, snapped back to reality, and then saw the oil paper package in his hand. A smile spread across her face: "Hmm, have you bought it?"

"Alright." Gu Chong glanced at her expression, not noticing any displeasure, but a hint of confusion in her eyes. He almost imperceptibly furrowed his brow and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah..." Xue Fu realized, "My family wrote a letter."

She shook the letter in her hand and shrugged: "It just feels a bit strange, but I can't figure out what's strange about it."

She's a bit slow on the uptake.

Gu Chong asked her, "What was written in the letter?"

Xue Fu opened her mouth, but she was too embarrassed to tell Gu Chong the contents of the letter.

She shook her head slightly, her expression rather 'interesting'.

"It's alright, about the same as last time."

Xue Fu bent down, folded the letter again, and stuffed it into the yellow envelope. Then she let out a soft breath and said to Gu Chong, "I need to write back a letter. Wait for me."

They can't just 'condemn' her; she has to write back and 'condemn' her back too!!!

They themselves are hypocritical!

They told her not to date, but didn't they also introduce her to potential partners through blind dates?!

Isn't that a contradiction?!

Seizing this opportunity, Xue Fu picked up her pen and wrote a full page of her own before returning home.

"It is wrong to allow officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people to light lamps!"

"Dear Mom and Dad, you need to coordinate yourselves first! How are you going to explain my blind date?!"

When she wrote the last sentence, the tip of her pen paused on the paper, leaving a deep black ink dot.

She glanced at Gu Chong, who was patiently standing beside her, even turning his eyes away to avoid seeing the contents of her letter.

Gu Chong is very good.

Xue Fu gripped her pen tightly, then lowered her head and resolutely added another paragraph.

“My boyfriend’s name is Gu Chong, and I think he’s a great guy. He’s very deserving. Don’t be prejudiced against him, Mom and Dad. If there’s a chance, I’ll bring him to meet you. You’ll know once you’ve met him in person.”

Xue Fu thought that when her parents read this, they would definitely say that she was 'rebellious'.

She couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

After finishing writing, she read it through again. After correcting a few illegible words, she capped the pen, folded the letter, and put it in an envelope.

She filled in the address on the envelope, affixed the stamps she had bought, glanced at Gu Chong over there, and reminded him, "I've finished writing it."

Gu Chong turned around and nodded: "Mm."

“Oh, right,” Xue Fu beckoned him with her finger, gesturing for him to lean closer, “guess what I wrote?”

"What did you write?" Gu Chong's dark eyes were blank at first, but after feeling Xue Fu's finger tapping his hand several times as a hint, he couldn't hide his excitement and his voice rose.

Me?

Xue Fu gave a proud, slightly arrogant hum: "Yeah~"
