Chapter 56 Chapter 56 The Package Sent by Song Li
After eating two servings of fish, Wang Xing'er walked home contentedly.
Although she was sad for a moment when Brother Lin told her that the fish her mother prepared for her was the least among the family members, but Brother Lin had given her some nourishment, so she was in a good mood now. But she still wanted to ask about the fact that her mother beat her the least!
As a result, before she even entered the house, she heard her mother roaring at her second sister-in-law: "What are you whining about? When did I ever favor the old family? Everyone gets just the right spoonful of public rice. If you keep making trouble for me, I'll punish you!"
When her mother gets angry, all the mice in the house have to stand at attention.
Wang Xing'er was nailed to the spot, and heard the second sister-in-law's timid voice: "Mom, I didn't mean that... I just said it casually, I won't dare to do it next time."
"You better be!"
Oh, oh, I didn’t intentionally give anyone less, so then, there’s no need to ask.
Wang Xing'er shrank her neck, not daring to provoke her angry mother.
Maybe Brother Lin was mistaken, but he is too concerned and thus becomes confused.
She sweetly found an excuse for Brother Lin and tiptoed to the door, planning to wait for a while before going back - her mother could tell she was still furious, and going back now would be like walking into trouble! She is not stupid!
"Why don't you go in?" Then she saw her father walking in with his precious pipe in his arms, smoking a cigarette. Before she could stop him, her father had already walked in with a swagger.
"You old man!" As expected, her mother's voice came out in a majestic voice, "You are so cool!"
See, you get scolded.
Wang Xing'er shrank her head and continued to squat at the door like a mushroom.
Her mother sounded so happy when she scolded. If she is unhappy in the future, will she be able to scold Brother Lin like this? Or can you only curse after you're married?
Oh, what is she thinking!
She slapped her face uncomfortably.
Here, Song Ruan finished analyzing the situation for Han Zhenzhen and sent the person away. She was lying on the kang, closing her eyes and taking a rest.
There was a familiar ding-ding sound coming from outside the door, like the owner of the bicycle ringing the bell. It was probably the postman coming to the village to deliver mail again.
But it should have nothing to do with her. The Song family just wrote to her not long ago, and they should still be waiting for her reply - but they will not get a reply even if they wait to die.
Song Ruan turned over and continued to doze off with her head facing inward.
She feels sleepy in spring, tired in summer, exhausted in autumn and hibernates in winter. Now is the time for her to recuperate and continue sleeping.
"Comrade Song Ruan, is Comrade Song Ruan at home? There are your packages and letters!"
Song Ruan:? ? ? ?
Not only letters, but also packages?
The Song family is crazy. Are they afraid that she won't obey, so they send her some threatening things?
Don't blame her for speculating about that family with such malicious intent. Even Ouyang Feng couldn't be so vicious as to sell his daughter to an older, second-married, ugly, and violent man with the whole family supporting him.
But it's not that she looked down on that idiotic family. It's mainly because they cleaned out all the rat holes when she left, so it was difficult for them to find the raw materials to send her dead rats.
Song Ruan walked out with a curious look on her face.
The postman took out a letter that looked quite thick from his messenger bag, and then took out a small package half a foot long from the back table: "Your family really cares about you."
Song Ruan smiled and didn't dare to respond - given her relationship with the Song family, she was worried that the package would contain a pile of explosives once it was opened.
But the postman was just joking. People from the Northeast can talk to a mouse, but if they don't talk to a person face to face, they will feel uncomfortable.
Dan was relieved after saying it. He was busy delivering other letters to other teams and didn't think about chatting with Song Ruan for a long time. When he saw her collect the things, he left in a hurry.
Song Ruan returned to the yard, holding one on each side with her fingers. She was not in a hurry to go into the house. She stood by the toilet first and opened the package cautiously. If she found anything dirty, she would just throw it in to avoid being disgusted.
To her surprise, there were several small packages wrapped in newspaper neatly arranged inside, and a rich fruity aroma was spreading out.
The contents included a small bag of dried black fungus, a bag of preserved fruits made from an unknown fruit, a bag of dried mushrooms, and even a dried rabbit!
She turned it over again and found a pair of hand-woven straw sandals at the bottom. The sandals were woven tightly and were very sturdy. The uppers must have been pounded several times and felt very soft, with no stray straw stems to bother her.
Song Ruan's eyebrows raised again, and she had some guesses in her mind.
I returned to the house, opened the letter and took a quick look. Sure enough, it was sent by Song Li, the second child of the Song family who had also gone to the countryside.
But this is outrageous. Song Li was tricked into going to the southwest to work in the countryside because of her. With her personality, shouldn't she hate her? Why would she send her things?
Could it be that he had an epiphany after eating too many poisonous mushrooms in Yunnan Province?
Poisonous mushrooms?
Song Ruan's eyes narrowed: "System, please help me scan these things to see if there is anything bad in them."
The system also felt something was wrong and started scanning before Song Ruan even opened his mouth.
【It's weird】
The system was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly remembered the administrator who had been elusive recently, and changed the way of expression.
【Three meals a day, four seasons, healthy~~】
Everyone looked at each other, and at the same time looked at the unfolded letter in their hands.
Let me take a closer look at what's going on.jpg
Dear Sister,
Did you see what I sent you? After so long in the countryside, I have experienced some things and realized that I was wrong to sign you up for the countryside without your permission...
…
…
In a small village in the southwestern frontier.
Song Li was sitting on a bamboo chair in the secretary's house, leaning slightly towards the person next to her.
She wore a flat hat wrapped with a green square scarf, a linen robe with wide sleeves, and trousers made of unevenly dyed indigo cloth. Her skin was tanned and rough from days of hard work, and she looked no different from the local villagers.
She smiled sweetly at a woman in her thirties or forties and said, "I just discovered after coming here that people in your Yun Province love to eat flower and fruit juice from the mountains, just like the fairies in the opera scripts."
The secretary's wife giggled like a hen that had just laid an egg: "You city people speak so nicely, you are worthy of being educated."
"How can it be that I speak well? When I was in school, I was only good at math, not Chinese. It's just that when I see you, words come out unconsciously."
The secretary's wife smiled until her eyes narrowed: "It's useful to be good at math."
"Eat some fruit, eat some fruit." He stuffed a handful of wild fruit into Song Li's mouth, and she praised him back, "You're good too, you're good too. You're much stronger than when you first came here. Your waist looks a bit like a winter melon!"
The smile on Song Li's face froze.
But I swear to God, the secretary's wife had no other intentions. She just wanted to praise the girl from the bottom of her heart.
But she is from Guze, or more accurately, everyone in this village is from Guze. Their customs and aesthetics are different from those of the Han people. The Han people appreciate women who are as delicate as a willow, with slender fingers and skin as white as cream, but the Guze people do not.
This is the most remote frontier of Yunnan Province. The sky is covered with rainforests, the climate is hot and humid, snakes, insects and ferocious beasts are everywhere, and miasma and mosquitoes are prevalent. Their aesthetics have been reshaped in this harsh living environment, and strong, thick and tough women are more favored.
What’s the point of marrying a pair of crispy and thin chopsticks? If you can't even cut off the water while carrying a load in deep grass, you're just asking for trouble.
"You will grow into a 60-kilogram piglet." She wished him sincerely, which was the highest compliment they could give to a woman.
Song Li's face looked like a pool of freshly stirred cement, dark, solidified and distorted.
But she quickly adjusted her facial expression, lowered her head slightly, and smiled as if she was embarrassed: "Thank you, Auntie, I have to go back to cook, so I'll leave first."
"Go ahead, go ahead." The secretary's wife said with a smile, "Be careful on the road."
Song Li kept smiling until she walked to a deserted place, then she put it away indifferently.
She took a bite of the wild fruit given to her by the secretary's wife and frowned because of the sour taste.
"Bah, you're just chewing grass or leaves all day long, just like uncivilized cattle and horses!"
But she was very cautious. Although there was no one around and not even a blade of grass was shaking, she only cursed in her heart without saying anything out loud.
She pursed her lips and quickly walked to the educated youth site, but she was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she sat down on a stone at the door and pondered her current situation.
When she first received the notice from the street office that Song was being sent to the countryside, she was completely stunned - she was just about to take over Song Ruan's job and stay in the city to work.
What a familiar operation! It happens to be the southwest opposite to the northeast. It is obvious who did it!
Song Ruan, that little bitch, seemed to be so quiet, but I didn’t expect that she was such a vicious and biting dog!
No, she was even more cruel. She at least gave Song Ruan a week to prepare, but Song Ruan didn't even give her time to prepare, and she had to leave the next day!
At that time, some damn thief had stripped off all the walls of our house, leaving us penniless. The thief and his entire family deserved to die!
She didn't even have any luggage at the time, so she had to borrow a few sets of clothes from relatives. She also took the 20 yuan that Song's father and mother borrowed from their neighbors, and hurriedly went to the countryside.
That was a really difficult time.
The climate in Yunnan Province was hot and humid, which she was not used to. Moreover, it was the busy farming season. The gongs for work were struck earlier than the crowing of roosters, so she had to start working as soon as she opened her eyes.
The most terrifying thing was when she went to the paddy fields to harvest rice, where leeches were particularly rampant. These creatures were silent when they stuck to her, but had already started sucking blood by the time she felt the pain.
The first time she was bitten by a leech, she had no experience and just tried to pull it out directly. The more she pulled, the tighter the leech stuck. After finally getting it off, blood sprayed all over her pants. Her back was also swollen and festering, and she had a high fever and had to stay in bed for two days!
In addition, eating was also a great difficulty for her.
The cooking habits in Yunnan Province are also different from theirs. For example, a bowl of rice cannot be steamed directly. It must be put into water and boiled until it is 50% to 60% done, and then scooped out and steamed on a grate. This way the rice is loose and the grains are distinct, and it seems to have more volume.
And the leftover rice soup, with some wild vegetable stubble and leek seeds, would be breakfast the next morning - there was no other way, as there wasn't much time to cook for them during the busy farming mornings.
But in rural areas, a day's plan often starts in the morning. They have to start heavy work early in the morning. How can they bear to eat a bowl of thin rice soup that can be used as a mirror?
She didn't know the seriousness of the matter at first, and foolishly just drank rice soup before going to work, and she almost fell into the ground!
She had never experienced such an intense feeling of hunger. It was like a hand with long nails was scratching her stomach constantly, her intestines were cramping and twitching, acid was constantly secreted in her mouth, but she couldn't vomit anything out. She was feeling cold all over, and the hand holding the sickle was soft and trembling constantly.
So I could only save half of it for dinner at night and soak it to eat the next morning. Although it did feel better during the day, I would easily be so hungry at night that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She was tired and hungry every day. At that time, she hated Song Ruan who had caused her to fall into this situation. She cursed Song Ruan every day when she opened her eyes, cursed Song Ruan while working, cursed Song Ruan when she ate, cursed Song Ruan when she went to the toilet, cursed Song Ruan with her eyes closed, and cursed Song Ruan in her dreams.
The motivation for supporting her every day is to imagine that Song Ruan’s life in the countryside is just as hard, even harder than hers!
If Song Ruan was in front of her, she would definitely eat her alive!
During that period, she was a little crazy. As for how she calmed down, one day she suddenly found that the 30 kilograms of grain subsidy for new educated youth given to her by the government was being consumed at an unreasonable rate.
Because she had almost no luggage and only twenty yuan in her hand, she was very careful with her food. She usually calculated the food she packed for meals, only digging a shallow layer and stopping when she thought the amount would make her 70% to 80% full.
Therefore, her food bag was much fatter than others, and logically, this abundance should have grown with the accumulation of each meal.
But suddenly, this increase in abundance stopped. Not only that, her food bag was showing a tendency to become almost as heavy as others—and the amount she filled herself with during those days did not increase.
Well, someone is taking advantage of her!
Song Li was furious. It was already a great humiliation that she accidentally got her eyes pecked by that little bird Song Ruan. Now someone was actually treating her like a sick cat? !
