Chapter 465: Writing a Letter Home



After returning to the dormitory, Tian Tian took out a piece of letter paper and an envelope, which she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative at home. There were some defects on the letter paper and envelope, so Aunt Xiao simply did not take her money and gave the letter paper and envelope to Tian Tian.

Tian Tian left some at home, brought some for Tian Yuan, and brought the rest here herself.

Both stationery and envelopes cost money, and now that they are free, Tian Tian naturally won't spend money to buy new ones.

Although there are some flaws on it, Tian Tian thinks that free is the best, and these flaws do not affect its use.

When Zhao Chunxian saw Tian Tian's letter paper and envelope, she was stunned. She had just come back with Tian Tian. Besides, her family was really a rural family. No one would send letters to them, and their family didn't need to send letters to other people. She had never had the opportunity to see an envelope, so naturally she didn't know that letter paper and envelopes were needed to write letters. Maybe she had seen them in the hands of the postman, but she didn't pay attention.

So she didn't buy anything, thinking that she could just write a letter on some paper, fold an envelope, and mail it when she got home.

"What's wrong?" Tian Tian took out the letter paper and had just written the beginning when she saw Zhao Chunxian standing next to her out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and asked curiously.

"Did you buy this paper and envelope yourself?" Zhao Chunxian asked.

Zhao Chunxian deliberately said these words in unstandard Mandarin. Tian Tian understood them. She looked down and said, "I bought them myself at the supply and marketing cooperative. The price is not expensive!"

"Do the envelope and letter writing paper have to be like this? Can't I just fold an envelope myself out of paper?" Zhao Chunxian spoke in a mixture of dialect and Mandarin in a hurry.

Tian Tian was stunned, and it took her a lot of effort to understand what Zhao Chunxian was asking. "You can use any piece of paper for the inside, but you can't use the outer envelope. There are some places to stick stamps and write zip codes on it. I guess it can't be used if you fold it yourself."

Tian Tian looked at Zhao Chunxian and realized something. "You haven't bought envelopes and stationery yet, right? Forget about stationery. I have a lot of envelopes here, but they all have some flaws. If you don't mind, just take one and use it."

As she spoke, Tian Tian took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Zhao Chunxian.

Zhao Chunxian didn't want to take it at first, but thinking of her parents at home, she took the envelope from Tian Tian and said, "I don't mind. Thank you. I will return this envelope to you when the time comes!"

"No need to return them!" Tian Tian said with a smile, "I brought a lot of envelopes with me, and I can't use them all. You can take them without worry, and it can be considered as helping me to use them up."

Why would she write letters home all the time? At most, she would write once every one or two months, or send a letter home before going home for vacation. She brought at least twenty envelopes with her, which was definitely enough for her.

Chen Wanqing, who was standing by, glanced at Tian Tian's drawer and found that there were indeed a lot of envelopes.

"Why do you have so many envelopes? Are you planning to write some letters home?"

"There are flaws on these envelopes. Look, the frame for writing the zip code is not printed well. The supply and marketing cooperative was planning to sell them to the scrap yard, and I happened to see it, so I spent a very small amount of money to buy all these envelopes. You can't use them all, Chunxian, you can use them with confidence. If any of you don't have envelopes to send letters in the future, you can come to me to get them." Tian Tian said with a smile.

Zhao Chunxian took a closer look and found that there were indeed some flaws on the envelope, but they were not obvious. There were just some intermittent line printings, and the zip code was written on it. The lines of the frame with the stamp were a little fuzzy, and some were a little crooked. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see them at all.

Aunt Xiao and Tian Lijuan knew that Tian Tian would use these letter papers, so they picked out some envelopes that had obvious flaws and were unusable. They gave some to Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo as straw paper, and those for Tian Tian were all usable.

"Then we won't be polite! When we want to take the envelope, you are not allowed to make excuses!" Liang Dongqing said.

"No! It's just an envelope, and one with flawed printing. I'm worried whether you'll dislike it or not!"

"Don't mind, don't mind. Who doesn't like free things?" Liang Dongqing said with a smile.

Seeing Liang Dongqing and the others say so, Zhao Chunxian calmly took the envelope that Tian Tian handed to her.

Zhao Chunxian took the envelope and went to find stationery to write the letter. Tian Tian also finished writing the letter. In the afternoon, she went to the post office outside the school, bought a stamp, and mailed the letter.

When she was buying the stamps, she was thinking that some editions of stamps might be very valuable in the future, so she wondered if she should buy some stamps and keep them for later sale.

But after thinking for a while, Tian Tian decided not to buy stamps. First, she had no money now. She only had 300 yuan in her hand. 200 yuan was from selling things in the space over the years to buy some things for Li Jiuniang, and the rest was saved from the salary she received when she was in technical school.

The other hundred dollars was given by her mother.

If she spends the money now, she will have no way to make money in the future.

The rice and flour in her shells had almost all been sold out and there was no way to sell them for money anymore.

Li Jiuniang is now attending university, and he has no place to sell the wild products from the mountains.

Not to mention the salary for school, it is impossible to pay her now.

Secondly, she didn't know which editions of stamps were coming out before, and if she bought them all, it would definitely cost a lot of money.

She didn't understand stamps, so the stamps were wasted in her hands.

Tian Tian thought of Li Jiuniang and sighed in her heart. She might never see Li Jiuniang again.

Li Jiuniang and Qin Changfeng were admitted to the same university in Beijing.

Although neither Li Jiuniang nor Qin Changfeng said that they were together, everyone could see with their own eyes that they were together. After all, Li Jiuniang felt different when facing Qin Changfeng than when facing other people.

Tian Tian felt like laughing when she thought about Li Jiuniang and Qin Changfeng.

Did Li Jiuniang go home after receiving the admission letter like other people? After receiving the admission letter, Li Jiuniang stayed in their team until a while before school started.

She also went to meet Li Jiuniang. For the first time in their lives, the conversation between the two of them was not about goods or money. They just sat together and talked and chatted.

Tian Tian also always felt that the relationship between her and Li Jiuniang was rather subtle. Li Jiuniang was not like her and Tian Yun, with whom she could talk freely about their worries and confusions.
