Chapter 168: The Name Fits the Person
"Someone is sending something inside, so we need to wait a little longer..." Gu Yingzhou suddenly said.
His height made him stand out from the crowd in this era of material scarcity.
Standing in the queue, you can see inside at a glance.
Lin Tang turned his head to look at the person behind him and responded, "Oh."
I really can't believe that this guy is such a kind person.
Gu Yingzhou looked at the girl's expressionless face. For some reason, he found her cute.
Even the cold and hard heart softened.
"My name is Gu Yingzhou, Ying means Yingzhou, and Zhou means a small boat." The man took the initiative to speak.
After he finished speaking, his eyes deepened slightly.
It seemed as if he didn't expect that he would be so proactive.
This was the first time he introduced himself to someone so solemnly.
Lin Tang glanced at Gu Yingzhou and said politely, "My name is Lin Tang, Tang as in Haitang."
Lin Tang?
Gu Yingzhou looked at the little girl's pretty face and nodded slightly.
The name suits the person.
"Yes, Comrade Lin."
Apart from his family, Lin Tang rarely interacted with gay men, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
So I just picked a topic.
"Comrade Gu, do you know that the cotton mill is having a cultural performance today and tomorrow?"
Gu Yingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I know. Are you planning to go and see it?"
"Well, I'll go and have a look when I have nothing to do during the holidays." Lin Tang replied.
Gu Yingzhou glanced at her pretty little face, thinking that the girl was probably not yet an adult.
It's normal to be curious about these things.
"It's good to go and have a look. The art troupe from the provincial capital is quite good," he commented.
Lin Tang was surprised and asked casually, "Are you from the provincial capital?"
"No." Gu Yingzhou denied it, and for some reason he explained, "I'm from Beijing. I was transferred here a while ago."
As for what kind of job it was, the man didn't say much.
The two chatted for a while, and time passed a little faster.
Before the line reached the post office, an old woman in tattered clothes hobbled up to Lin Tang.
"My daughter, can you please do me a favor?" The old man's cloudy eyes were full of pleading.
She looked tired and covered in dust.
His clothes were tattered and his hair was messy.
Whenever Lin Tang meets elderly people and children who need help, he is always generous.
So he asked, "What's the matter? Please tell me first."
Help if you can.
Some things may be very difficult for the elderly, but they are a piece of cake for young people.
Every family has elderly people. Help them and accumulate blessings.
Of course, helping others is based on protecting yourself.
The old woman took out a piece of yellowed paper and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to send a letter, but I can't write..."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Tang nervously, worried that he would be rejected.
The eldest grandson in the family fell from a tree and got a big hole on his head.
He was sent to the hospital by the villagers and is now fine.
But the doctor said that the baby had lost too much blood and it would be better to give him some supplements.
She is an old country woman who knows nothing.
I thought of writing a letter to my son's father who is in the army to see if he has any ideas.
Their brigade was located in a remote area and there were few literate people, so she took two pieces of paper from home and thought of trying her luck here.
Lin Tang understood what the old lady meant and immediately said, "You want me to help you write a letter?"
The old man nodded embarrassedly.
"I want you to write a letter for me.
My son is in the army, and my baby has a broken head and needs nutritional supplements. I have no other options, so I just want to ask my son.
Or a military dependent?
Thinking of his eldest cousin who also dedicated his youth and passion to the country, Lin Tang immediately agreed.
It's not something difficult, just writing a letter, no big deal.
"Okay, I'll help you write it."
Lin Tang took the paper from the old man and took out a pen from his small bag.
At this moment, she was queuing up at the door of the post office.
The door frame can barely serve as a desk.
There's nothing to cushion it.
Just then.
Gu Yingzhou took out a notebook and gave it to Lin Tang.
"Use this as a cushion."
Lin Tang took a look and saw that it was a light blue notebook with the word "peace" printed on it.
Take it.
"Thanks."
Lin Tang writes quickly, and he quickly finished the letter using a notebook as a pad.
After writing it, I read it to the old man in a low voice.
The old woman smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's right, absolutely right. Thank you for your help. You are such a kind girl."
Lin Tang smiled and didn't think anything of it.
"Do you have an address? I'll be in line soon and mail it to you."
When she said this, she wasn't thinking about asking for money.
The weathered old lady in front of me is a glorious military family member.
She is willing to spend money on the families of soldiers.
The old woman's home is far away, and it takes her half a day to go out.
I'm anxious to get back to the team.
Lin Tang's words touched her heart.
"Okay, is that okay?" The old lady was very embarrassed.
You have caused so much trouble to the little girl.
It really is...
Lin Tang smiled softly, "Yeah, just by the way."
The old lady was relieved to see that she didn't seem to be reluctant.
He took out a tattered little piece of paper.
"Thank you for your help. Here is the address."
Lin Tang took a quick look and wrote it down.
Then, he returned the note.
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll mail it for you later."
ha?
The old lady was confused.
You remember it at a glance?
Thinking of this, the old lady asked directly.
"Is that all?"
Lin Tang repeated the address and said with a smile, "Well, my memory is okay."
"Oh oh." The old man responded blankly.
Take out two cents.
Forced it on Lin Tang.
"My dear, this is the money for sending the letter. I am really sorry to bother you today."
Thanks to this kind girl.
Otherwise, I don’t know if I can get anything done today.
The old lady seemed to be afraid of taking advantage of Lin Tang, so she stuffed the money into her hands and took a step back hastily.
He looked at her with trust.
"I'm sorry to trouble you with this letter."
Lin Tang took a look at the money in his hand, and then met the old lady's eyes that could not be refused, and instantly gave up the idea of returning it.
Military families these days are so cute.
It makes people sincerely admire it!
"Don't worry."
The old lady laughed out loud when she heard the definite answer.
The wrinkles on his face are squeezed together, looking vicissitudes of life but respectable.
Watching the old man stagger away, Lin Tang felt very uncomfortable.
A country with a lot of work to do.
Backwardness, poverty, disaster...
It is because of the enthusiasm of these lovely people that the place is gradually boiling from the ruins.
What a lovely and respectable group of people!
Gu Yingzhou looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes suddenly darkening.
This look doesn't seem like that of a girl under 20 years old.
It seems more like... it is something that only people with a lot of experience have.
"The front is empty, let's go forward."
As soon as the man spoke, Lin Tang came back to his senses instantly.
Take a look.
There is indeed a large empty space in front.
He quickly took a step forward.
After walking over, he looked back at Gu Yingzhou.
The little girl had clear and bright eyes and a faint smile on her lips.
When real people are more beautiful than flowers.
She is much more likable than those self-righteous girls in Beijing.
