Xinghua Village.
A young man in military green work clothes rode a bicycle through a small village, delivering letters to each household.
"Bai Yajing, is Bai Yajing there? There's a letter for you!"
Bai Yajing was picking and washing vegetables in the courtyard when she heard that a letter had arrived. She quickly wiped the water off her hands and hurried out of the courtyard.
"Here I am!"
The postman took a letter out of his bag and handed it to her.
"You still have a package in town, remember to pick it up as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you."
She receives packages and letters from the provincial capital every three to five days a year, and she's become quite familiar with the postman.
I guess it was Grandpa who brought it over again this time.
After everyone left, she happily took the letter and went back to her room.
Unfortunately, the smile only lasted until the letter was opened...
This letter wasn't written by her grandfather, but by her scumbag biological father, whom she had never met since childhood and who had never cared about her.
Years ago, her mother was provoked by her lover who was heavily pregnant. She was so angry that she went into premature labor and suffered severe bleeding, which led to her death.
After learning the news from Madam Qin, my maternal grandparents went to the provincial capital to seek justice. Unfortunately, my grandfather was not home. That scumbag was disgusting and shameless, and he just stubbornly refused to admit it.
Her maternal grandparents didn't have any strong connections in the provincial capital, and her uncle had sacrificed his life long ago. Even though her family were the families of martyrs, and even though her mother was a soldier, the powerful can't suppress the local snake. The Bai family destroyed all the evidence, and the servants in the family were silenced.
Unable to find any evidence, her grandparents had no choice but to forcibly take her back to the countryside, and her household registration was transferred there.
Over the years, she gradually came to understand that the scumbag did it on purpose. He didn't care about her daughter at all, and sending her to the countryside suited his wishes perfectly.
So when she saw his letter, she had a bad feeling. Sure enough, after reading the letter, her face turned cold.
At this moment, Grandma and Grandpa also returned from work.
"My dear, what delicious food have you made?"
Bai Yajing immediately composed herself, placed the letter on the table, and left the room.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you've worked hard. Have some water, and I'll stir-fry some vegetables before we eat."
The two elderly people had fought in guerrilla warfare in their younger years, and they were both in good health. The pension they received each year from their uncle's sacrifice was more than enough for them, but they still couldn't stay idle and went to work together every day as usual.
The village arranged easy tasks, but they refused to do them, saying they didn't want to cause trouble for the organization.
The grandparents both had big smiles on their faces, happily agreed, and went to wash their hands and get a drink of water.
The family sat together, with sweet potato rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and an egg drop soup on the table.
Having survived three years of famine, no household is well-off now, and their family's meals are rare in the village. They usually make do with porridge and sweet potatoes.
Grandpa took her bowl, ladled soup for her, and muttered, "Drink more egg soup to nourish your body."
The school is in a mess right now, but luckily you'll be graduating high school soon. Study hard at home, and I'll go with you to town tomorrow to get your diploma from the principal.
Bai Yajing thought the same way; she wanted to get her graduation certificate while the principal was still around.
"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma, you drink too. I made a lot, enough for everyone."
As she spoke, she picked up their bowls and added soup to their bowls, which made the two elderly people very happy.
"My daughter is so sensible."
After the family finished their meal, Bai Yajing thought for a moment and then took out her biological father's letter.
“Grandpa and Grandma, that person sent me a letter, suddenly asking me to go to the provincial capital, and also asking me to bring my household registration and get a letter of introduction from the village. I feel something is wrong.”
She didn't believe that man would suddenly have a change of heart, remember his daughter, and want to take her back.
