With such a large package in her hands, she couldn't go for a stroll anymore. She could only huff and puff as she carried it to the big tree to find Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu's eyesight was a little blurry, and he could only see a huge package in the distance with two legs growing out of it, walking quickly toward her.
"Hiss, has the package come to life?" As the person got closer, he realized that it was a little girl from his village carrying a large package.
He cried out and rushed over, "Girl, little girl, put her down quickly, don't crush her!"
That small, thin frame of hers, I hope it doesn't bend!
Bai Yajing obediently let him take it, chuckling and scratching her head, "Thank you, Grandpa Niu. My grandpa sent a lot this time, it's quite heavy, can you carry it? Hehe..."
It wasn't that she looked down on Grandpa Niu, it was just that the package was too heavy, and she was exhausted from the journey.
Uncle Niu almost dropped it as soon as he took it, his mind filled with one thought: What are these things? They're so heavy!
But when he thought about how this girl could carry it so easily, he, a grown man, couldn't lose face!
He strained, his face flushed, and forced a stiff smile. "No...not heavy! Hehe...not heavy..."
Before he could finish speaking, he quickly walked towards the oxcart. The old ox couldn't help but take a few steps back when it saw the package.
Uncle Niu put down his package and took a few breaths. "Little Bai, let's go back first. There's nowhere else to sit. I'll come back later."
This wasn't uncommon; a small amount of money for the journey would suffice, so Bai Yajing didn't object and nodded in agreement.
The two chatted about everything under the sun. The town wasn't far from Xinghua Village, and they arrived quickly.
Back in the courtyard, Bai Yajing slipped five cents to Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu glared at her and said, "Girl, you're doing this again! You've given too much!"
After saying that, he was about to return Sanmao when Bai Yajing stopped him.
"Grandpa Niu, give two cents to the village and three cents to you as a reward for your hard work! Take it and buy some candy for Niuwazi!"
Now it's a collective economy. The money that Grandpa Niu brings back by driving his oxcart has to be handed over to the village, and he gets work points for it.
Grandpa Niu and his granddaughter were pitiful, relying on each other for survival. He had always been very good to her. In the past, she was in poor health and needed to buy some medicine in town. He would always help her bring it back. So her grandmother would always give her extra or bring her food. She got used to it.
Grandpa Niu's eyes welled up with tears, and he was so moved that he couldn't speak. Bai Yajing simply took it and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Grandpa Niu, hurry up, the market is about to close, the aunties and grandmas are probably waiting."
Uncle Niu thought of his grandson's longing eyes and put his hand down after reaching for the money.
"Alright, girl, Grandpa Niu accepts it. Let me know if you need anything."
"Okay! Take care!"
After everyone left, Bai Yajing took the package back to her room.
As soon as it was opened, the contents spilled out and scattered all over the ground.
I picked up a simple and elegant wooden box and opened it. Inside, a beautifully carved emerald green jade pendant lay quietly.
She liked it at first sight, picked it up and looked at it again and again, touching it again and again.
He glanced at the things scattered on the floor and then casually placed the jade pendant on the table.
They opened several more boxes, which were filled with various gold, silver, and jade jewelry of different colors.
The more she looked, the more alarmed she became. Over the years, the old man had usually sent money, clothes, brown sugar, malted milk powder, books, and so on.
Why send such an expensive item this time?
After rummaging around for a while, I found a thick letter. I picked it up, opened it, and poured out the contents, which then spilled out with a clatter.
Apart from a single sheet of letter paper, the rest were a huge stack of black dollars, which at a glance looked to be worth over a thousand dollars.
There was also a bicycle ticket and a sewing machine ticket.
