Chapter 130 An unexpected gift, a warning note, and things to remember.

After eating the dumplings, Mingdai took Zhou Sinian into the space. Tomorrow morning, someone would definitely come to pay New Year's greetings.

The one he was worshipping was not himself, but Zhou Sinian.

After all, he is the man who has all the younger brothers in Liujiawan.

While they were sleeping soundly in the space, a dark shadow came to the educated youth center, walked along the outer wall, and came to Mingdai and their small courtyard.

The dark shadow came in quietly, looked at the two dark rooms, did not dare to approach, stayed for a while and then left.

The next day, the excited Zhou Sinian carried the basket he had prepared and called Mingdai to go out.

Mingdai yawned and took him out of the space.

It snowed again last night and the yard was covered with snow again.

Mingdai went to make dumplings, and Zhou Sinian went to sweep the snow.

While sweeping, Zhou Sinian suddenly froze and looked at the door vigilantly.

Under the locked door, there was a square object covered by heavy snow, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

He did not move forward blindly, but carefully looked around. After making sure there was no danger, he gently touched the snow-covered objects with a broom.

The snowflakes were swept away bit by bit, and the thing underneath revealed its true face.

A wooden box.

Zhou Sinian frowned, but did not touch it. Instead, he took out the key from the crack in the wall and opened the door.

Outside, the world was covered with heavy snow. It was white everywhere, and all the good and evil in the world were drowned in it.

Having found no clues, Zhou Sinian returned with a frown on his face.

After looking at the box on the ground for a while, he continued to sweep the snow.

He didn't come back with the broom until the yard and the path outside the wall were swept clean.

After putting away the tools and glancing at the kitchen with the chimney coming out, Zhou Sinian went to the back of the house carrying the wooden box.

There was no one around, so he pulled out his bayonet and carefully pried open the nails on the box.

Click!

The box was opened and Zhou Sinian ejected instantly.

Waited for a minute and nothing happened.

Zhou Sinian came back alertly, gently lifted the wooden lid with his bayonet and threw it to the ground.

The things inside came into view: canned food, bacon, rice, flour, and a raw pork leg. There were many more things underneath, but I couldn't see clearly.

He rummaged around for a while, found a letter, took it in his hand and read it, but did not open it. He closed the box again and took the letter home.

Mingdai cooked the dumplings. She felt a little strange since she hadn't seen Zhou Sinian come back for a long time. So she went out and ran into Zhou Sinian who came back with something in his arms.

"What are you holding?"

Zhou Sinian shook his head: "I don't know, I found it behind the door this morning."

Mingdai frowned and followed him to the kitchen.

Putting the things on the ground, Zhou Sinian opened the box and showed it to Mingdai.

Zhou Sinian messed up the things a bit, but Mingdai still opened her mouth in surprise.

Everything you see is good stuff, and any one of them you give away is considered a valuable gift in this era.

She checked and found that the food should be fine. There were also two sets of green military uniforms which were very popular at the moment. The sizes were obviously the same for the two of them.

There are two pieces of cloth, one black and one red, enough to make two sets of clothes.

There were socks and men's underwear, all scattered around and packed into two packages.

Then there were various daily necessities, toothpaste, toothbrush and soap, all in duplicate, obviously with her portion also prepared.

She was a little confused.

She had just arrived in the countryside, so these were definitely not given to her. So these were for Zhou Sinian, but a little bit of her share was given. What did that mean?

Just as I was wondering, Zhou Sinian handed me the envelope.

It was a thick envelope, and it looked like there was something else in it.

Mingdai tore it open carefully and tipped it over on the table, and a stack of money and bills fell out.

Mingdai and Zhou Sinian looked at each other and became even more confused.

I counted it and found there was about 200 yuan, and there were also a variety of tickets.

All that's left is a thin piece of paper.

Mingdai opened it and Zhou Sinian came over.

The words on it are not written but pasted, and they look like they were cut out from newspapers.

"It's dangerous. Don't investigate. Protect yourself first. Please take care of him. I'll thank you in the future. Also, you little bastard, you're too heavy-handed!"

It was such a nonsensical message, and yet it was so mysterious that Mingdai racked her brains but couldn't figure out who sent it.

When Zhou Sinian saw the last sentence, his eyes flashed.

Ming Dai thought for a long time until her head hurt, but she couldn't remember anything, so she simply stopped thinking about it and returned to the space with Zhou Sinian and the things.

The dumplings have gone cold due to the delay.

They reheated the dumplings and ate them with some pickled vegetables.

But when eating, Zhou Sinian was a little dazed. He actually took away the pickled coriander in front of Mingdai and ate it with an expressionless face.

Ming Dai: ... Is it good not to eat?

Seeing that he was worried, Mingdai did not ask.

If he wanted to say it, he would have taken the initiative to find me.

After dinner, Mingdai went to collect the things and put them in the space warehouse.

Zhou Sinian went to feed the fish.

He threw the cut grass into the fish pond and looked at the jumping fish in a trance.

Slowly, he took out the letter, unfolded it, and read the three words "little bastard" on it.

After thinking for a long time, he returned to the villa with the envelope.

Mingdai was drinking milk tea on the sofa, obviously waiting for him too.

Zhou Sinian poured himself a cup first, sipped through the straw, and stole glances at Mingdai while drinking.

Mingdai was angry but refused to ask him.

After waiting for a while, just when Zhou Sinian was about to speak, there was a knock on the door and a series of "Brother, Brother!" from outside the space.

The clear children's voices clearly showed that the children came to wish Zhou Sinian a happy new year.

Zhou Sinian's face turned dark instantly, and he followed Mingdai out reluctantly.

As soon as she came out, the chattering sounds outside made Mingdai feel overwhelmed. She felt that half of the children in the village had come.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, a group of people in red headscarves blocked the alley.

"Brother! Happy New Year!"

"Brother! Congratulations on your wealth!"

"Brother! May you live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Brother! Happy wedding!"

"Brother! May you have a baby soon!"

. . . . . .

Hahaha, the children's childish words made Mingdai laugh so hard that she bent over, while Zhou Sinian's face became even darker.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to get angry, Tiedan quickly called a halt and waved his hand. The children at the scene shouted in unison: "Happy New Year, elder brother!"

The sound was clear and penetrating. The educated youths at the camp could hear it clearly, and someone poked his head to look into the alley.

Mingdai was amazed and admired Zhou Sinian's leadership ability.

Zhou Sinian was also satisfied. He hummed softly, said Happy New Year, and started giving gifts to the children.

Mingdai used the remaining hawthorns and maltose to make small candied haws. When two of them were stuck together, they looked like red haws, which was also a beautiful symbol.

Zhou Sinian asked the children to stretch out their hands. Each of them was frozen red, but very clean.

He nodded with satisfaction and gave two to each of them.

The children who got the candied haws were as happy as puppies, running around the alley and shouting excitedly.

Mingdai felt that this was the most lively place in Liujiawan today.

Today is the time for children to harvest. They rush to pay New Year's greetings and pick up some firecrackers.

Tiedan asked Zhou Sinian if he wanted to go.

Although Zhou Sinian really wanted to join in the fireworks, he had something on his mind. After much hesitation, he finally shook his head and refused.

Soon, the children ran away laughing happily, and Zhou Sinian and Mingdai returned to the space again.

The two continued to lie on the sofa, drinking milk tea and eating fruit.

Zhou Sinian looked at Mingdai more and more frequently, and finally, he couldn't help it and called her.

"Ming Dai, I may remember something."

Mingdai raised her eyebrows when she heard this. As expected.
