"You again? Didn't you just send a big package back last time? It's only been a month or two, and you're sending so many things back again. How did you buy all these things?"
The staff member who spoke was a woman in her 30s, who was looking at Su Ruanruan with suspicion and scrutiny.
Su Ruanruan was a little surprised to hear her words. She didn't expect that she still remembered her.
But after thinking about it, I quickly understood what was going on.
Most people at this time were poor.
Although people with jobs have money and tickets every month, it is basically just enough to get by and they can't save anything.
The last time Su Ruanruan came over, she sent away so many things. It could be said that she had been saving them for a long time.
But it's only been a month or two, and I've brought so many things back. It will really arouse suspicion.
Su Runrun didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so of course she couldn't argue with the staff at this time, so she could only explain patiently.
"I got a telegram from home saying my mother's leg was broken. My mother is already in her seventies and has always been in poor health. Now that she broke her leg, her health has worsened.
Unfortunately, I was far away and couldn't go back to take care of her in person. I could only borrow a lot of money and tickets from people around me, and use many connections to get these things.
I hope these things are really useful, and you can get better soon after my mother eats them. "
Su Runrun said these words sincerely, and the worry and red eyes in her eyes further confirmed the truthfulness of her words.
The staff member who was originally looking at Su Runrun with suspicion, showed a lot more sympathy after hearing this.
"Old people are old and it's easy for them to get bumped into things, so don't be too anxious or angry.
Although you are far away and cannot go back, you were able to send so many things back. Your mother will be happy when she eats them. If she is happy, she will recover faster. Maybe she will be well soon.”
Su Ruanruan looked at the staff gratefully, "Big sister Ji Yan, I hope it's true as you said, and my mother will get better soon."
"I'm sure."
As she spoke, she quickly helped Su Ruanruan fill out the form, completed the registration, and asked Su Ruanruan to pay the postage.
After Su Ruanruan left the post office with the mailing slip, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I can no longer send things home through this post office.
You have to go to the county town or the city.
I have been sending things from the same post office, and I send a lot of things, which is really easy to attract attention.
If it's just jealousy and a few sour words, you don't need to take it too seriously.
But just like the staff member just now, he was obviously looking at her with a scrutinizing look.
If she said something wrong, she might be detained along with her things.
If these things of hers are not checked, she may end up losing money.
Even though this didn't happen, just thinking about it made Su Runrun break out in a cold sweat.
It was summer, the sun was high in the sky, the sunlight was scorching and dazzling, but Su Runruan felt cold all over.
A gust of wind blew and Su Ruanruan shivered.
After coming to her senses, Su Ruanruan didn't dare to stand here any longer and quickened her pace to walk back.
When Su Ruanruan returned home, two or three hours had passed since she left.
The quadruplets were still fast asleep when she went out, but now all four of them are awake, sitting on the kang and playing with Hongya in high spirits.
As soon as Su Ruanruan walked into the room, the quadruplets looked towards the door at the same time.
Although they can't speak yet, they can babble.
At the same time, he stretched out his little hand, raised it high, greeted Su Ruanruan, and asked for a hug.
Su Ruanruan had just returned from outside, and she did not hug them directly. Instead, she washed her hands and face before walking towards them.
It only took a short while, and the four little guys were already pouting in grievance.
Although he didn't cry loudly, his aggrieved look made him even more lovable.
Su Ruanruan hugged them one by one and coaxed them with soft words for a long time. Then they started laughing again, ignored Su Ruanruan and continued to play with Hong Ya.
Niu Guifang had been paying attention to Su Runruan since she came in, and only now did she have the chance to ask.
"Soft girl, has the telegram been sent?"
Su Ruanruan nodded and said, "I have sent it. I don't know when I will get a reply."
"It won't be long before I get a reply, so don't be too anxious. To put it bluntly, a broken arm or leg isn't a big deal."
Su Runrun understood what Niu Guifang said.
But she didn't see Wang Maoni's injuries with her own eyes, nor did she get a specific description, so she really couldn't feel at ease.
But she was too far away, and there was only so much she could do. Even if she was worried, there was nothing she could do. She could only suppress her worries and said to Niu Guifang, "I know all this. Thank you sister-in-law for comforting me."
"What's the point of saying thank you or not between the two of us? As long as you're fine, that's all. Although there are many military wives living in this compound, there are very few who really have the same temperament as you. I don't want anything to happen to you, otherwise I won't even have anyone to talk to in the future."
Su Ruanruan was touched and amused, "It's not like I was injured, but it's as serious as my sister-in-law said."
Niu Guifang heaved a sigh of relief at this time, "It's funny if you laugh, I was just worried that you wouldn't laugh!"
Hearing this, the corners of Su Runrun's mouth curled up even more, her eyes became moist, and her heart felt warm.
After traveling through time here, I not only have a good mother-in-law like Wang Maoni, but also a good friend like Niu Guifang, and my good husband Fu Wenjing, who is now nowhere to be found.
Su Ruanruan sincerely felt that she was extremely lucky.

Red Flag Production Brigade.
Fu Chunshan had a stern face and walked home with the telegram.
They met a lot of people along the way, but when they saw Fu Chunshan's gloomy expression, everyone pretended not to see him and didn't dare to say hello to him.
Fu Chunshan returned home smoothly. He ignored the people who talked to him at home and went straight into the landlord's room.
As soon as I entered the house, Wang Maoni's voice rang out in the room.
"What's the matter? You went out for a while and came back with a sullen face. Where did you get mad at me?"
Fu Chunshan sighed heavily and slapped the telegram in his hand on the table. "Take a look. This is a telegram sent by Lao Qi's wife."
Wang Maoni had not received much education, but had spent most of her life with Fu Chunshan and had learned some common characters. She picked up the telegram and read it hastily, then her face darkened.
