She took the letter and asked Xu Fanghua where to send it.
Xu Fanghua told Song Yi's address and asked, "Can you please help me check if there is any letter sent to Xu Fanghua with the same address?"
After Xu Fanghua finished speaking, the girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Fanghua and said, "There is indeed a letter from Xu Fanghua, but are you Xu Fanghua?"
"Yes, it is me." Xu Fanghua quickly took out her work ID and showed it to her.
Although she was a temporary worker at the commune primary school, she was also issued a work permit.
It contained her name, address, and position.
Xu Fanghua was very glad that she had this thing with her.
In fact, a few years ago, if you wanted to come to the county town from the village, you needed a letter of introduction. The letter would state your name, address, and what you were going to do in the county town.
A letter of introduction is equivalent to a person's temporary business card and is also an important pass.
Without a letter of introduction, you can't move forward.
But in the past two years, you no longer need a letter of introduction to come to the county town, but you do need a letter of introduction to go to far away places, such as the provincial capital or even farther.
Zhao Xuemei, the girl from the post office, took it and looked at it, and confirmed that the person in front of her was Xu Fanghua.
But her eyes were full of surprise and confusion, "You are Xu Fanghua, then who was the girl before?"
"You should be talking about my friend, Wei Rou..." Then Xu Fanghua described Wei Rou's appearance.
"Yes, it's her. She's Wei Rou, not Xu Fanghua? But she said her name is Xu Fanghua, and..."
Moreover, it was that girl who sent the letters to Xu Fanghua, and the letter that Song Yi wrote to Xu Fanghua was also taken away by her.
After listening to Zhao Xuemei's words, Xu Fanghua was finally sure that Song Yi had indeed written letters to her in the past three years, but all the letters were taken away by Wei Rou.
Xu Fanghua then told Wei Rou that she had asked her to send the letter.
"...I just didn't expect that she would claim my letters under my name."
Zhao Xuemei didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Working in the post office, this kind of thing of impersonation happens quite often. There was a very serious consequence because of this two years ago. So unless you are very familiar with the person and really know that the person is the one claiming the money, proof of identity is required.
But Zhao Xuemei didn't expect that she would make such a mistake.
In fact, it’s not Zhao Xuemei’s fault.
Over the past three years, when Wei Rou came to send letters and claim the money, the control in this regard was relatively lax.
Later, although it became stricter, because Wei Rou came often, a year was enough for Zhao Xuemei to remember that the girl in front of her was "Xu Fanghua", so for the sake of convenience and speed, Zhao Xuemei did not ask Wei Rou for identity proof. Moreover, Wei Rou was also very good at dealing with people. She would always greet Zhao Xuemei, which made Zhao Xuemei impressed with her and they were almost friends.
If the real Xu Fanghua hadn't come today, she would still be kept in the dark.
That person had been claiming the salary for three years, but she knew nothing about it. If her boss found out, she would lose her job.
Zhao Xuemei was panicking and hurriedly said to Xu Fanghua, "I'm sorry, I really didn't verify it before. Those letters..."
"I will find a way to get those letters back. It's not your fault. I have my own reasons. If I hadn't asked Wei Rou to send them, she wouldn't have been able to claim them."
Hearing that Xu Fanghua would not pursue the matter and would not blame her, Zhao Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief, and her job was saved.
But she remembered that her two colleagues were fired because someone falsely claimed the pension for the martyr's widow.
If the matter of Xu Fanghua is really investigated, she will definitely not end up well.
But Xu Fanghua didn't pursue the matter.
"That's good. By the way, you were just asking about the letter sent to you, right? There really is one. It arrived this morning. I'll give it to you now."
Xu Fanghua's eyes lit up.
When Xu Fanghua took the letter from Zhao Xuemei's hand and saw the familiar yet seemingly more resolute words on the envelope, her eyes became sore and tears almost fell.
This is Song Yi's handwriting. This is Song Yi's handwriting.
Xu Fanghua recognized it at a glance.
Xu Fanghua held the letter in her arms, feeling as if she had found a treasure that had been lost for a long time. She felt excited and happy, yet also a little sad that she couldn't express in words.
"Thank you, thank you."
"In the past three years, your boyfriend has been writing to you, at least one letter a month." Zhao Xuemei said after learning that Song Yi was Xu Fanghua's boyfriend.
"Okay, thank you."

After confirming that Song Yi had really written to her in the past three years, Xu Fanghua's heart suddenly became clear.
After putting the letter away carefully, Xu Fanghua told Zhao Xuemei before leaving that she would not let Wei Rou send letters in the future, but would do it herself. If Wei Rou continued to claim the letters, she would not be given the letters.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't." Zhao Xuemei promised.
Zhao Xuemei now hates Wei Rou, the person who forged the letter. She almost lost her job.
You have to know how difficult it is these days to get a worker's job, a stable job that can be passed down to your descendants and that you can get paid every month.
Her job was almost ruined by that woman named Wei Rou.
The next time she meets the woman named Wei Rou, she will definitely expose her to vent her anger.
After leaving the post office, Xu Fanghua went home on a ox cart that happened to come from the village.
When she got home, she saw Xu Jinning there, still looking at her, as if she was very curious about what she had done. Thinking of the little girl secretly caring about her in her heart, she told her the whole process of going to the post office. Before returning to her room, she also said: "... Wei Rou, I didn't expect that I treated her as a friend, but she actually did such a thing. When I get the letter that Song Yi wrote to me back, I will break up with her!"
[It’s better to break up. That’s the way it should be. You should stay away from toxic besties like that. My silly sister, you’ve finally become smart.]
Before stepping into her room, Xu Fanghua indeed heard the little girl's thoughts.
only……
Little girl, I'm not stupid. Of course I'm smart. I'm the only high school student in our village.
Since she was young, she has always been the best in her studies.
She wanted to go to college and become a university student, but unfortunately the college entrance examination has been suspended, so she can only work as a temporary teacher in the commune primary school.
For Xu Fanghua, not being able to go to university is a huge regret.
I don’t know when this regret can be made up.
She knew that not only her, but also the educated youth who went to the countryside in the production team were actually waiting for the resumption of the college entrance examination.
If the college entrance examination is restored and they are admitted to university, they will be able to leave the countryside.
After feeling melancholy for a while, Xu Fanghua went into her room and opened the letter from Song Yi...
