Chapter 100 I Almost Missed the Letter from Home

She planned to knit herself a red woolen hat, which looked warm and energetic.

The hat she knitted was very simple, and she had quick hands and finished it in less than an hour.

To suit the occasion, she also used white wool to crochet some small snowflake-shaped patterns on the hat, which instantly made the whole hat look much cuter.

She looked in the mirror and thought she looked pretty good!

The snow outside had stopped falling, so she went to the kitchen, got a rabbit and a pheasant, wrapped them up, closed the door and went out.

She had originally planned to go to the scrapyard, but when she left the house she realized how thick the snow was on the ground.

As soon as I stepped down, the snow reached my calves.

This won't work!

If she walks this way, how much cold wind will she have to endure when she gets to the scrapyard, and how much time will she waste?

Just when she was about to back down, large golden characters suddenly appeared before her.

Ski Master (5 merit points required)

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then silently consumed 5 merit points.

After digesting her new skills in her mind, she turned around, went home, took a piece of wood from the new product showroom, and started making snowboards.

Maybe it’s because I have good repair skills, making a snowboard is really easy.

Half an hour later, she stepped on the skis, holding the skis made of wooden sticks in her hands, and slid out of the house.

When Li Guifen was going out, she happened to see Gu Xiaoxi flash by. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"Did I see it right? Xiaoxi can actually fly?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voice of her youngest son Tiedan from behind.

"Mom, I saw Auntie Xiaoxi. She can fly!"

Li Guifen coughed lightly and said, "We must have seen it wrong. How can a person fly?"

On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi had already "flown" out of the family compound, and the soldiers on duty were dumbfounded.

Gu Xiaoxi actually paused for a moment, because it was white outside. Except for the road next to the troops, where the snow had been cleared, it was really impossible to tell which was the road and which was the ditch.

However, she had a good memory and quickly figured out the path to the scrapyard. She put on her ski poles and ran away.

She felt that her skiing speed was many times faster than riding a bicycle.

It used to take 20 to 30 minutes to get there by bike, but now she only needs ten minutes to get there by skiing.

Because the snow was thick, she took a shortcut.

Master Qi was stunned when he saw her coming.

Especially the skis under her feet, which made Master Qi stare at them again and again.

"Xiaoxi girl, what are you doing? It looks like a sled but not quite."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and took out a pheasant and a hare from behind and handed them to him, "I got a ski and came out to bring you some food."

At this point, she jumped up and down, very excited, "It's mainly for fun!"

Master Qi laughed and said, "Come in and warm yourself up."

Uncle Xu no longer comes over in such a cold weather. His family is large and the space is small, so he still prefers to live in the gatehouse at the waste station.

Gu Xiaoxi took off his skis and gloves and ran into the house to warm himself by the fire.

Master Qi handed her a freshly baked sweet potato and said, "Eat it!"

As he spoke, he washed a beautiful, clear jade cup and poured a cup of hot tea for the little girl.

Gu Xiaoxi drank hot tea and ate sweet potatoes, looking very happy.

"The sweet potatoes you bake are better than those baked by others!"

Master Qi suppressed his smile and said, "It's so cold, Captain Lu, can you come out?"

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "I haven't told you yet, he got promoted to deputy regiment commander. He is very busy and doesn't even go home during the day."

Master Qi smiled again, "That's what being a soldier is like. It looks like it's going to snow today, so go back early and don't let him worry."

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi responded readily.

Master Qi walked in and put five pieces of tofu he had ground himself in a bag and gave them to her.

"This is the tofu I made at home yesterday. I also have bean sprouts and fried tofu. Do you want some?"

Gu Xiaoxi's eyes seemed to be lit up with little stars, "Yes, I came to the right place today!"

Master Qi was not stingy and directly gave her a whole plate of bean sprouts and a large bag of fried tofu.

Even the jade cup for drinking water that the little girl seemed to like so much was given to her.

The old man and the young girl talked for a while and roasted a fire for a while. When the little girl finished eating a sweet potato, Master Qi sent her away.

"Go back quickly! It's freezing outside, and the snow of youth is falling at any time."

"Well. I'll go back now. You can come in and warm yourself by the fire!"

Gu Xiaoxi waved to Grandpa Qi, picked up his things, put on his skis and left.

However, when she came out of the scrap yard and saw the thick snow on the roof, she walked around outside and cleared all the snow off the house where Mr. Qi lived and the shed she had built.

Then she leaned on her ski poles and slid away.

On the way back, she suddenly saw a sudden flash of green on the snow in the distance.

She was stunned for a moment and immediately changed direction.

When I got closer to her, I realized that it was a bag like the ones postmen tie to the back of their bicycles.

When I picked it up, I found a thick stack of letters and several telegrams inside.

She even saw seven or eight letters sent to the troops, and even a letter from her parents in Huaicheng.

She suddenly felt numb!

What a coincidence, isn't it?

She looked around and found nothing, so she picked up the green bag and skied back home.

Yes, she was too lazy to go to the army to find her leader, so she directly gave the bag she picked up to the soldier on duty at the family compound, and told him that there happened to be a letter from home in it, so she took it.

The soldiers on duty were dumbfounded and it took them a long time to react.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, this is such a coincidence!"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded seriously. "Yes, I also think it's a coincidence. If I hadn't passed by and picked it up, I would have missed the letter from home. Oh! I really don't know whether to say that I am unlucky or lucky!"

The soldier on duty laughed, "That must be luck! It's luck!"

"Okay. I'll leave that thing to you. I'm going back now."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

The soldier called someone to come and stand guard and immediately went to deliver the letter.

Gu Xiaoxi also returned home smoothly and couldn't wait to open the letter sent by his parents.

The moment she opened the letter, her eyes welled up with tears.

Before she even read a single word, she suddenly felt homesick!

"My dear daughter, hello! We have received your letter and package. Everything is fine at home..."

Gu Xiaoxi took a deep breath and continued to look down.

However, after reading the letter, she did not notice that her parents mentioned coming to Qingbei.

After thinking for a while, she realized that this letter was sent by her parents before she sent the previous letter, and the letter only mentioned that she had met Uncle Hao.

She also said that grandpa had been discharged from the hospital and was living with them, and asked her not to worry about him.

Now that I think about it, letter writing is really slow!
