After writing the letter, Xie Yan felt a small emptiness in her heart, but also a great sense of relief.
Looking at the chirping birds outside the window, Xie Yan suddenly felt relieved. Whether he loved or not, it was all in the past. Even the biggest waves will eventually calm down, and even the strongest emotions will eventually fade.
He suffers because of love, he harbors resentment, and he feels unwilling to accept defeat.
That's why they can't bear to let go of the little bit of favor they received when they were young.
He had been conflicted and distressed because he still had feelings for someone! But once those feelings were worn away, only calm remained.
There was a calm without any ripples, not even hatred.
If they have the chance to meet again in this life, Xie Yan will truly be able to call out "Uncle" and "Aunt" with a smile.
He affixed the stamps, put the money in his pocket, and turned to Yu Yue, who was busy in the kitchen, and said, "Wife, I'm going to the educated youth settlement. I'll be right back."
Yu Yuehui put down the cleaver in her hand, took out five yuan and three meat coupons from her pocket, and said, "I'll ask Gu Bin to help me buy some meat tomorrow. Didn't you want to eat starch sausage? We already have the casings, so I'll buy them and make it for you!"
Xie Yan smiled and hugged Yu Yuehui, "My wife, you're so good to me!"
Yu Yue replied, "Go quickly, I'll have the food ready soon! Come back quickly! Don't nag!"
Xie Yan raised the letter in his hand, "Understood, I promise I'll be back before dinner."
Upon arriving at the educated youth settlement, Xie Yan immediately pulled Gu Bin, who was cooking in the kitchen, into the room. "This is a letter, and this bag contains money. Please mail it for me tomorrow. Also, this money and coupons are for buying some pork belly tomorrow. If you have coupons, you can buy more."
"My wife is going to make something special and delicious that you've never had before. Come to my house and eat it!"
Gu Bin was skeptical. "There are still delicious foods I haven't tried before?"
It's not that he doesn't trust Xie Yan; anyone else would have been more believable, but Xie Yan is different. They're both from the capital, so what good food in the capital could Xie Yan have eaten that he hadn't?
He really didn't believe that!
Xie Yan patted his shoulder, "You don't trust me? Then don't buy it. When the delicious food is ready, just watch me eat!"
Xie Yan didn't believe that Gu Bin could resist the temptation of starchy sausages!
Gu Bin raised an eyebrow as if he had just thought of something. "Alright! I'll trust you this once, but what if you make something I recognize or have eaten before?"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Your abacus beads are practically jumping into my face!"
Gu Bin smiled nonchalantly and said in a nonchalant tone, "So, what do you suggest we do?"
Xie Yan's competitive spirit was ignited. "What if you haven't tried it before?"
Gu Bin stroked his chin. "Hey! If it's something I haven't tried before, how about I give you two more jin of meat coupons? If it is, how about you give me a few boxes of pickled vegetables?"
Wouldn't that give him an excuse to freeload at Xie Yan's house? Whether he actually eats there or not, he'll be the one who benefits!
Xie Yan nodded in agreement; wasn't he just after their pickled vegetables?
snort!
We won't give it to him. Not only will we not give it to him, we'll also take his hostage!
Xie Yan patted the money bag and lowered his voice, saying, "Five hundred, be careful!"
Gu couldn't help but wonder, who is this money going to be given to?
But he wisely refrained from asking! "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll send it out to you without missing a single penny!"
He casually locked it in his closet.
This is a considerable sum of money, and he dared not let it go easily. Money can be a powerful motivator, and if others saw it, it could easily cause trouble. Gu Bin never overestimated human nature, especially the people in the educated youth settlement. Don't assume that because the educated youth were highly educated, they wouldn't do such a thing.
Knowledge and character should not be blindly equated.
After leaving the educated youth settlement, Xie Yan suddenly felt at ease. Everything had finally settled down, and he felt very relaxed after cutting ties with everything.
Everything looks pleasing to the eye, even the flowers and plants by the roadside seem better than before.
I've stretched a bit, time to go home for dinner!
Thinking about the boiled pork slices he had been looking forward to today, Xie Yan quickened his pace involuntarily.
As soon as he got home, he saw the boiled pork slices already on the table, and just seeing the layer of red chili peppers on top made his mouth water.
It smells so good! It definitely lived up to his expectations.
Xie Yan was shocked to see large prawns nearby!
He never expected to be able to eat shrimp here!
And it's so big!
"Honey, where did you get these shrimp?" It was like magic; he had nothing when he left home, but suddenly they appeared when he got back!
This is too sudden! Happiness came too suddenly! Xie Yan can hardly believe it!
His wife is even more amazing than the Fairy Screw!
As for the stir-fried vegetables placed next to him, Xie Yan casually looked away and didn't see them!
Yu Yue handed the steamed bun to Xie Yan, "My sister-in-law came back to her parents' home yesterday and brought this with her. It's been kept in a basin in the kitchen, a little over there, you didn't see it."
"Eat quickly!"
She had originally planned to surprise Xie Yan today, but it ended up turning into...
Never mind! It's all the same, even if you're in a bad mood, you should still eat something good!
She pulled Xie Yan to sit down, "Don't stand there, come and have a taste! Let me tell you, the shrimp I'm serving today is so thoughtful, I removed all the shrimp veins in one go, not a single one was broken."
"They must have known you wanted to eat it, because they all became exceptionally well-behaved and sensible!"
Xie Yan was amused by her words. If shrimp knew they were going to be eaten, wouldn't they all try to escape? Why would they obediently wait to be eaten?
