The winter wind was like a ferocious beast, howling and sweeping across the land.
The trees along the roadside seemed to have been drained of their vitality by the cold wind, having long since lost their lush green, leaving only bare branches shivering and swaying in the wind, making a "whooshing" sound, as if telling the cruelty of winter.
Xie Yan leaned on the handlebars of the bicycle, the biting wind cutting his face like a knife, making him unconsciously curl into a ball, wishing he could shrink himself completely into his clothes.
Of course, Zhang Linghui, who was behind, was even more pitiful. She wasn't even dressed as warmly as Xie Yan, and she felt like she was about to freeze.
Just then, a bicycle came towards them on the road ahead; it was the postman.
The postman spotted Xie Yan from afar, his eyes instantly lighting up like stars, and his face beaming with an undisguised smile.
How could I not be happy?
Once the telegram for the thank-you banquet is delivered today, there's no need to come over tomorrow.
Riding a bike in this freezing weather is pure torture.
He quickly pushed off with his feet, pedaling faster, the wheels spinning rapidly on the ground, kicking up bits of dust.
As he pedaled hard, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xie Yan, Xie Yan, there's a telegram for you." His voice carried far in the empty winter air.
Upon hearing the word "telegram," Xie Yan froze, as if he had been frozen in place, unable to move.
To be honest, the telegram came too suddenly, like a heavy stone thrown into his once calm heart, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and breaking his inner peace.
After Yu Yuehui stopped the car, he rubbed his frozen face, his fingers unconsciously curling up.
Has something happened at home?
Otherwise, given their somewhat distant relationship, his family would never reach out to him unless something major happened, let alone send him a telegram.
In this era when communication was not advanced, telegrams were a rare and expensive commodity, and were charged separately.
Xie Yan reached out to take the telegram, and his hand trembled slightly uncontrollably.
To be honest, Xie harbored resentment towards his parents' favoritism.
Last time I saw them abandon this place, they were just thinking of severing ties and never having any contact with each other again.
I never imagined they would actually get into trouble.
Xie Yan pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then opened the telegram.
When he slowly opened the telegram, he saw three large characters written on it: "Quick Money Exchange".
He subconsciously breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then a genuine sense of desolation surged into his heart like a tide.
Seeing the sender, what else could Xie Yan not understand?
From childhood to adulthood, he has taken the blame for countless things for Xie Ting, and this time will certainly be no exception. Moreover, judging from the situation, the amount of money must be quite substantial.
Otherwise, Xie Yuanyuan wouldn't have been in such a hurry to send a telegram asking me for money.
Moreover, the money that was taken this time was very likely the dowry that Xie Yuanyuan's parents had saved up for her.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan couldn't help but snort coldly!
If Xie Ting continues to be spoiled like this, something bad is bound to happen again.
Looking at the bare trees in the distance, Xie Yan sighed silently.
We should have a clear picture of the situation in the capital in a couple of days.
He silently stuffed the telegram into his pocket, looked up, smiled calmly at everyone, and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Bin had been watching Xie Yan's expression closely. Seeing that Xie Yan's complexion was alright, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "Just let me know if anything happens!" His tone seemed casual, but it revealed a hint of concern.
Xie Yan nodded slightly, forcing a smile, and said, "It's alright! I'll definitely come to you if I need anything."
He's now praying that Shetton hasn't caused any major trouble, otherwise he won't have any peace either.
Gu Bin responded, then gestured for Zhang Linghui, who was sunbathing and stamping her feet, to sit down. He then scootered forward and rode off.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Gu Che slowly rode his bike forward, leaving only Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan at the scene.
Yu Yue, supporting the car, looked at Xie Yan with concern in her eyes and asked softly, "What's the news from the capital?"
Xie Yan silently handed her the telegram. Yu Yue glanced at it, her eyes full of doubt. She looked at Xie Yan with great confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Yan shook his head gently and said in a tired tone, "It's nothing, it's not important. There should be more letters coming in a couple of days, and then we'll know what's going on."
"Let's go too, or we won't be able to catch up with them."
Yu Yue returned to Xie Yan and didn't want to say much. Seeing that he seemed to be really alright, she gently moved the car, and the two quickly caught up with the main group ahead.
After this interruption, the group hurried home, and by the time they arrived, it was already very late. The night sky was like a heavy black ribbon pressing down on the heavens.
Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui didn't even have time to wash up before hurriedly dividing up the food they bought that day and carrying it to the new courtyard.
As if they had planned it in advance, the two walked into the new courtyard and saw that the food had just been served steaming hot.
Seeing the two people walk in from outside, Yu Yuehua's face lit up with a smile, and she joked, "How was your trip to the city today?"
Xie Yan shook the things he was carrying and replied with a smile, "Of course they're great! Look how many nice things I bought."
Mao Dan had been a little resentful because his aunt went to the city without taking him.
But seeing so much delicious food, all my unpleasantness vanished instantly.
His eyes lit up with excitement, like a happy little rabbit. He jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and kept calling out, "Auntie, Auntie, what delicious things did you buy today?"
Seeing him rushing forward without even putting on his shoes, Liu Lanlan reacted quickly, grabbing him by the back of his collar and saying through gritted teeth, "Put on your shoes! Put on your shoes! These are clean socks I just changed into today, Mao Dan, do you want another beating?"
Startled by the grab, Mao Dan shrank back and obediently put his shoes on without saying a word.
Taking the opportunity, Yu Yuehui placed all the things she had bought on the table below, then turned around, squatted down, and said gently to Maodan, "Maodan, you must be a clean child. You must wear shoes when you get off the kang (heated brick bed), understand?"
Mao Dan stared intently at the things Yu Yuehui had placed on the table. Seeing this, he nodded hastily and said, "I know, Auntie, I'll be more careful next time." As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze drifted to the table.
Yu Yuehui was amused by his greedy look and couldn't help but say, "There's so much delicious food today, why are you still so greedy!"
Mao Dan turned his head and looked at Yu Yuehui very seriously, saying matter-of-factly, "It's different!"
Yu Yue looked at him with interest and pressed, "What's different?"
