Chapter 261: Friends, Not Enemies
"Wait for Grandpa and the others to come out."
Qin Jiu was not satisfied with this answer, but he knew in his heart that his aunt really didn't know.
So he could only nestle in her arms, waiting patiently and anxiously for the person in the room to come out.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not long. After ten minutes or so, the old man and his friends came out with red eyes.
Qin Jiu jumped out of her arms like a rabbit and threw himself directly at the old man's legs.
"Grandpa, are they my parents?"
His upturned little face was full of hope, and his eyes told of his longing for his parents.
The old man's lips curled up, "It's your parents."
Yi Chichi, "??? Which package?"
"The youngest one."
As he spoke, the old man handed her what he was holding, "These are for you."
"What uh..."
The unfinished words stopped abruptly when he saw what the old man handed over, a thick stack of bills, all of which were national bills.
From grain, oil, rice and flour to industrial coupons and daily necessities coupons, the varieties are very complete, covering all the bills issued on the market.
The dates are all three to six months, and some tickets will expire at the end of the year.
"Take it and spend it."
The old man waved his hand, looking like a domineering president and showing his generosity.
Not to be outdone, Old Lady Song also stuffed a stack of money and bills into her hands, "Spend these too."
Yi Chichi said "oh", took it, counted it and put it in his pocket.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I'll run errands for you."
The old man and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It was originally given to you."
Yi Chi didn't say anything. It was impossible for her to use the money. It was not like she couldn't make money. There was no need for her to take advantage of a group of old and weak people.
Not to mention that her great uncle and eldest nephew were among this group of elderly and weak people. Even if they were not there, the education she received would not allow her to do so.
"Uncle Ye, what about you?"
She held out her hand, and Ye Yuntang sighed, "Mr. Ma and I don't have money or tickets to give you, but we have something, do you want it?"
Yi Chichi understood that the big package belonged to Ye Yuntang and Mr. Ma.
"What are they?"
"Food and daily necessities."
Mr. Ma was a man of action, and he dragged the package out directly to show them.
Bacon, smoked meat, smoked chicken, sausages, biscuits and the like, and a box of chocolates, these are food.
What was left were clothes, shoes and socks, which were not new and had obvious signs of being worn.
But it is washed very clean, and you can still smell the fragrance of soapberry when you take it out.
Seeing this, Wen's mother asked, "Is this the clothes you wear at home?"
"Um."
Ye Yuntang nodded, "I don't know who sorted it out and sent it to us."
This statement contained a lot of information, and Yi Chichi felt that she needed to sort it out.
Two seconds later, she wondered, "There was no information left in the package?"
"No."
Grandpa Ma and Ye Yuntang both shook their heads. They discussed for a long time but still couldn't figure out who sent it to them.
They had no impression of a person who had connections with both families and could collect their old clothes.
The key point is that the food sent to them is not cheap. It can be said that it costs a lot of money. Without certain financial resources and power, it is impossible to get so many good things.
Especially that box of imported chocolates, which is only available in Friendship Store.
But even if the people they knew were not implicated and demoted and were still in Beijing, they were too busy keeping a low profile to show off at the Friendship Store.
Seeing Yi Chichi frowning and looking thoughtful, Ye Yuntang patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. Anyone who can send us something at this time must be a friend, not an enemy."
Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle, that's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is why the person who sent the package to you sent it to me."
This is the crux of the problem, okay?
It's really terrifying that a person who even Ye Yuntang and Mr. Ma didn't know who he was sent something to her.
Meaning she was almost transparent to that person.
As soon as she expressed her concerns, the old man and the others' expressions suddenly became serious.
This is indeed a problem.
Mother Wen looked at this, then looked at that, and suddenly said, "Is it possible that the person is not comfortable revealing his identity, but he has a close relationship with you, so he can only send things to you through someone else."
This possibility is not impossible. After all, in the current environment, the slightest noise can scare people to death.
To be on the safe side, the more covert the better.
"Uncle."
Seeing that all the adults were frowning and looking worried, Qin Jiu came up with a new idea, "When my uncle left, he was specially asked to come and see us, so it's understandable that others learned about my aunt through my uncle, right?!"
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up, "He also asked me to take care of you before."
It is possible that the good news really came from him, but it is also possible that it came from Secretary Tang of the commune.
Thinking of this, Yi Chichi said, "I'll go to the commune tomorrow and call and ask."
Mother Wen looked at her, "Didn't you say he was on duty during the Spring Festival? Can he find someone?"
"...I don't know, let's fight first and then we'll see."
It would be best if you could get in touch with him and ask clearly, but if you can't get in touch with him, there's still time to wait for him to come back and ask.
Now one thing is certain, the person who sent the package to Ye Yuntang and others is a friend, not an enemy.
Therefore, if you really need to slow down, you can do so.
As a result, on the fifth day of the New Year, when the team went to the commune to participate in the yangko competition, I called to ask and found out that it was indeed spread by Wen Shi.
"Tell Mr. Song and Uncle Ye that there is news from the family."
This means that their family members are still alive, but they are just alive.
It is definitely impossible to think it through, but if the situation is a little better, we will not cut off contact. We will definitely find ways to ask someone to contact our parents and relatives.
It's not very convenient to talk on the phone at the post office. There are people all around. Remembering the principle of being cautious in what you say and do, Yi Chichi said calmly, "The package has been sent to me."
"I know. I gave you the address."
Wen Shi, who was very relieved about Yi Chichi, smiled and said, "I wanted to say it when I wrote the letter, but I forgot."
He deliberately emphasized the two words he forgot, and Yi Chichi understood immediately that this meant that it was inconvenient to write in the letter.
She didn't dwell on this issue too much, but changed the subject and asked whether He Yunsong was married.
It would have been better if this topic had not been brought up. Once it was brought up, Wen Shi said with some resentment, "He is not only married, his wife even has a baby."
"??? So quickly?"
"Yes."
Wen Shi changed the subject and said, "Wife, when will you come to visit?"
"Wait until spring."
It is too painful to go out in the snow and ice now. Besides, her double-sided embroidery has not been completed yet, so she will leave after it is completed.
I was quite disappointed when I heard it, but I also expressed my understanding.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. Yi Chichi then paid the phone bill and left the post office.
The Yangko Competition is a major event in Baoan Commune. Not only the production brigades have teams participating, but also relevant units and departments such as forestry farms, farms, machinery factories, slaughterhouses, etc., also have teams participating.
