Chapter 83 083 Li Changqing's Package

Liu Meijuan looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression, "What does 'leeching off one's parents' mean?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then laughed and said, "It means going home to eat and drink your parents' food, without doing any work to earn money."

Although I don't eat or drink what my parents provide, I do get food and water from my grandparents. With the few work points I earn, haha, I probably wouldn't even last a month.

Liu Meijuan seemed to understand and nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you earn far too few work points, even fewer than me. If you keep going like this, without your family's help, you probably won't survive a month."

Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."

Thank you so much!

There's no need to spell out the truth so clearly.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask about what happened last night. Judging from Liu Meijuan's attitude towards her, she probably didn't know that she had also gone out.

Since you don't know, there's no need to waste your breath; mentioning it might only arouse suspicion.

Qin Xiaoxiao went out in the middle of the night, but this time she stood in the yard for a long time before leaving. There was no sound in the yard, so she quietly left.

The days passed in a daze, and before they knew it, it was August 1st, the day Qin Xiaoxiao went to withdraw the money.

Qin Xiaoxiao asked Qin Feng for leave in the morning. When Qin's grandmother learned that she was going to the county town, she quickly instructed her: "Don't spend the money recklessly. We have everything we need at home, so we don't need you to spend that money."

"Keep your money safe; you'll have plenty to spend after you get married."

The more Grandma Qin talked, the more worried she became.

My granddaughter is useless at everything. She'll definitely need to bring a lot of dowry when she gets married, otherwise who would want to marry her and take care of her?

Don't expect her to earn money in the future, so her dowry will naturally become her support. Since it's her support, the more the better.

The government is still giving her a monthly allowance of 18 yuan. Once this year is over, she'll be living off her savings.

So you have to save each of the eighteen yuan and not spend it recklessly.

"I understand now, I promise I won't waste the milk."

Seeing that her granddaughter agreed so readily, Grandma Qin was relieved.

After breakfast, Qin Xiaoxiao boarded an oxcart bound for the county. Once the cart was full, it slowly made its way to the county town.

Miao Feifei was sitting at the very back of the oxcart. She saw Qin Xiaoxiao the moment she got on. She subconsciously leaned back and hid behind an older woman next to her.

When the older woman saw it was her, she curled her lip in disgust and moved to the side, trying to avoid physical contact with Miao Feifei.

Miao Feifei was unaware of any of this; she was only staring intently at Qin Xiaoxiao, her eyes filled with malice.

Having survived the apocalypse, even if she didn't fare very well, Qin Xiaoxiao was still more vigilant than ordinary people. Therefore, she noticed Miao Feifei's presence the moment she looked at her.

Qin Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked over, only seeing black pants, a white shirt, and a basket in his hand, but no one could see that.

Without a second thought, Qin Xiaoxiao immediately decided it was Miao Feifei.

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and turned her head to the other side.

How did I end up on the same bus as her? What bad luck!

Half an hour later, the oxcart arrived in the county town. It was agreed that they would wait at the same spot for three hours, and if they did not arrive, they would get off and go back. All the people on the cart got off and headed to their respective destinations.

Qin Xiaoxiao went to the post office first, and sure enough, the money had arrived.

After handing over her household registration booklet and proof of being a sent-down youth, the post office clerk glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Wait a moment, there's a package and some mail for you here, we can take them together."

Qin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Excuse me, is this for me?"

The post office worker rolled his eyes. "Why would I say if it's not yours?"

Qin Xiaoxiao choked and fell silent instantly.

That's not what she meant. She just wanted to know if it was definitely for her, and if there was any mistake.

But the other party's attitude was really bad, so Qin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to say anything more to him, lest she get scolded again.

The staff went to the back to get her package. Qin Xiaoxiao waited for a while, thought for a moment, and then ran back to the counter.

"Comrade, I'd like to buy a few stamps."

This staff member was noticeably nicer than the previous one, smiling and nodding, "Okay, how much do you want to buy?"

Seeing that the staff member was friendly, Qin Xiaoxiao took out two fruit candies from her pocket and put them on the counter. "Comrade, could you please find me ten stamps, or the same kind?"

When the staff saw the fruit candy, their attitude improved even more; they smiled and got up to find stamps for Qin Xiaoxiao.

The person returned shortly after and handed Qin Xiaoxiao ten stamps.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked down and flipped through them. Sure enough, they were all different, and there was even a large sheet of red paper inside.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed, and she quickly closed the stamps, her smile widening. "Thank you, comrade. I really like these stamps. Thank you for your help."

Just then, the staff member who had been looking for the package returned and shoved a large package over the counter, along with a letter.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at it and saw that it was mailed by Li Changqing.

Qin Xiaoxiao's expression was complicated, and she sighed inwardly.

I've incurred another favor.

Forget it, she'll pay it back slowly later. She can mail some grain and mountain products to Grandpa Li after the autumn harvest.

In the city, food was purchased with ration coupons, and each person only had that much per month. If you wanted to buy more, they wouldn't sell it to you. You could only risk going to the black market, but if you got caught, you would lose your job.

Therefore, food was also in short supply in the city, so sending food to Li Changqing was just right.

Carrying the package, I left the post office, walked into an alley, and seeing that no one was around, I put the stamps and package into my spatial storage, and then tore open the envelope.

Inside, besides two sheets of paper, there was also ten yuan.

Qin Xiaoxiao carefully put the money away and eagerly began reading the letter.

In his letter, Li Changqing first said that he had received the package Qin Xiaoxiao had sent him last time, and asked her not to send any more next time. He said that she was having a hard time here, and he already felt guilty for not being able to help her. He told her not to worry about him, as he had everything he needed over there.

In addition, he mailed a lot of things to Qin Xiaoxiao, listing what they were in the letter. At the end, he wrote that he had put ten yuan in the envelope for her, telling her not to be stingy and not to shortchange herself.

Qin Xiaoxiao was moved again after reading the letter. So far, apart from a few people, everyone she had met had been kind to her. Not to mention the Qin family, even the people in the village would greet her with smiles and would often ask her how she was eating and what her living habits were like.

After that, the chances of seeing Li Changqing were almost nonexistent. Even so, he still sent her ten yuan, along with a bunch of food and supplies, which shows that Li Changqing and Qin Min had a good relationship and that he treated her very well.

After carefully putting the letter away, Qin Xiaoxiao took the money back to the post office, asked for a piece of stationery and a pen, and wrote a reply to Li Changqing while leaning over the counter.

After writing the letter and handing it to the staff, Qin Xiaoxiao rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Sun Zhirou wasn't here today, so she was on break. Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't buy defective products and could only go to the counter to look at regular items.
