Did she stay up late? No. Mr. Bai was not at home, and neither were her family members. The only one she could play with, Mi Li, seemed to be even busier than her.
Apart from Lao He and Zaizai to accompany her, she has no other entertainment options.
The key point is that Lao He seemed to have something to do today, so he said a few words to her and went back.
She played with the baby for a while and then went to sleep.
He Wan was originally leisurely and had nothing to do, but this afternoon the branch secretary found her and took her to meet the people from the commune.
It was not until last year that she went to Hai City and brought back a batch of medicine, which successfully brought a lot of benefits to the Dali Village Clinic.
Almost no one from the surrounding villages went to the clinic at the commune anymore, and they all ran to Dali Village.
Knowing that she had connections in Hai City, I thought of asking her to go there again this year and bring back some medicine.
But the commune was afraid that she couldn't bring back so many medicines by herself, so they wanted two people to go with her.
He Wan naturally didn't want to do that. How could she sell goods and make money with two people following her?
So he looked extremely embarrassed and said he would call his aunt first to ask about the situation.
So I rushed to the county town before the post office closed in the afternoon.
I went to the post office and then went to see Uncle Wan and Uncle He.
One family gave them a bag of flour, a bag of cornmeal, and five pounds of pork.
Uncle Wan only sold He Wan a watch. In the past two years, she has sent food from time to time, not just five or eight kilograms, but dozens of kilograms at a time. He refused to accept the money, and the key point is that he didn't have much money. He really felt bad, and this time he had to pull He Wan to stop him from leaving: "Little comrade, I know you have good intentions, but I feel bad that you don't ask for payment every time."
"Uncle Wan, since I'm doing this business, I'm not someone who needs this little bit of food. You can treat me as a junior and show your respect to me."
Uncle Wan shook his head and refused to let him go. He took out a wooden box from the house and gave it to her. He said with some difficulty, "I have been polishing these two walnuts for nearly twenty years. Although they are not valuable, if you meet someone who has this hobby, they will treasure them."
He Wan opened the wooden box and found two round walnuts inside. They must have been played with often, as their surfaces had a patina like jade and an oily luster. To be honest, she really didn't understand these things in the world of cultural relics.
It was just an ordinary walnut. She could pick a lot of it from the hill behind every autumn. She didn’t like the walnuts, but the wooden box was exquisite.
"Uncle Wan, I don't play with this. Since you have been playing with it for twenty years, you must cherish it. I will leave the walnut to you and take the box. This box looks exquisite."
Uncle Wan smiled and shook his head: "This is something I carved myself, it's not worth much, the two of them together are not even worth a bag of flour from you, don't make me regret it, take it away quickly."
Uncle Wan said this and pushed the box towards her.
Seeing that Mr. Wan was determined to give it to her, He Wan reluctantly accepted it.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Wan, the old couple at Uncle He's side were even more welcoming.
It seemed that the two families had discussed it. This time, Mr. He gave her an amber jade pendant. He Wan refused it but he forced it on her: "This is not valuable. You can play with it or give it to your date to please her. Young girls like this. Be careful not to let others see it."
He Wan blinked, touched the hat on her head, and said nothing, leaving it there.
Well, after such a long time, I still couldn’t tell that she was a girl. It seems that my disguise was quite good.
Just keep it, it’s the intention of both families.
