Chapter 71 Package Arrives
A large package appeared in front of him, and Captain Lu Erming was startled.
"From our family?"
The announcer smiled and said, "Yes, it has your name on it."
Lu Erming took his reading glasses and put them on, and looked at the name on the package. It was indeed his.
He looked at the mailing address again and saw that it was sent from Jinling. He probably guessed that it was sent by his nephew who was in the army.
He took off his glasses and picked up the package to send it home first.
The announcer watched from behind with envy in his eyes. The people of the old Lu family are promising.
So Lu Erming took the large package home.
Lu Weiguo's second aunt, Wang Yueji, was washing clothes in the yard at this time. When she saw her husband coming back with a big package, she immediately wiped her hands and asked, "Whose package is it?"
"It should be from Weiguo."
Lu's second aunt smiled, "Weiguo is a filial child. He always thinks about us in everything."
Lu Erming's face was also filled with smiles. Their family has a good relationship and the children get along well.
He took the package into the house and asked Aunt Lu to bring a pair of scissors. "I guess such a big package should be for Professor Shi and his team."
Aunt Lu was not unhappy to hear this. "Professor Shi and his team have been here for a while and have adapted to the environment. I guess it's time for them to send something over."
Aunt Lu brought the scissors soon after. Lu Erming opened the package and saw several cans of packaged beef jerky with a piece of paper attached. It explained how to divide the items.
In addition to the beef jerky, there were two envelopes inside. One was written with Uncle Lu's name, and the other was written with Professor Shi's name.
Lu Erming took a look at the envelope for Professor Shi. It was a little different from his. He touched it and knew it was probably some bills.
It is still summer, so Shi Tingyu and the others did not send clothes to the two elders.
In addition to beef jerky, there are also some brown sugar and a few cans of maltose in the package.
These are also divided according to the people.
After seeing it, Aunt Lu could not help but say: "Weiguo is a child who spends money lavishly. He should send the maltose and other things to his father-in-law to replenish his body, but why did he buy them for us?"
The things in each family are the same, except that there is less beef jerky for the old man, because the old man is too old to chew too much.
Things like brown sugar and maltose were added by Lu Weiguo later.
It is mainly for the father-in-law. Life in the relocation is hard, and he needs to get some things to replenish himself so as not to be exhausted.
Lu Erming took out his share and sent the things for the old man.
At his age, the old man no longer has to work, but he can't sit still, so he makes some baskets at home.
His craftsmanship is pretty good in the village.
The old man smiled when he saw the things sent by his second son, and the fierce look on his face did not disappear with age and wrinkles. If it were in modern times, he would look like a retired gang leader.
When he is not smiling, he looks fierce, and when he smiles, he looks a little malicious.
Lu Erming was already used to his father's behavior. He said, "Dad, Weiguo and his wife sent some things over. These are for you and my mother."
When the old man heard that it was sent by his grandson who was a soldier, he was happy but said, "Why should this child spend money? Let them keep the good things for themselves. They will grow after eating them, but we won't grow after eating them."
Lu Erming: "Dad, Weiguo is almost 1.9 meters tall. He won't grow any taller if he eats more."
The old man smiled and nodded, "Weiguo is tall, just like me."
Lu Erming couldn't help but twitching his mouth, thinking, isn't it just like you? That fierce face looks like you too.
He took out the things and put them aside, pointing at the beef jerky and said, "This beef jerky was made by Weiguo's wife herself. She said she brought it to you to try. I ate one before I came here. The taste is amazing, spicy and fresh. I think you will like it."
The old man has a strong taste and likes to eat something with flavor.
He stopped weaving the basket, washed his hands, took a piece of beef jerky and tasted it. Although he is now 75 years old, his teeth are still good.
He took two bites and his eyes lit up. "Weiguo's wife is a great cook. This beef jerky tastes really good."
Lu Erming said, "I knew you would like it."
The old man finished a piece of beef jerky, put it away silently, and said to Lu Erming, "How is Weiguo's father-in-law doing now?"
Lu Erming thought about the couple who looked like high-level intellectuals, and felt a little emotional. He said, "It's okay. At the beginning, it was very good. They used to be unable to adapt, but now they can keep up with the work. Both of them are in good health and have not been sick from overwork."
The old man nodded, "They are real relatives of our family, you should take care of them more often."
Lu Erming said, "Even if you don't say it, I am taking care of them. Although I can't do it too obviously, I will assign them the lightest work as long as it is not too extreme."
The old man was relieved now. He always asked a few questions every once in a while.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lu Erming prepared to go back, as there was still work waiting for him in the team.
But when he reached the door, he stopped again and said to the old man, "Dad, please save some of the beef jerky for my mother, otherwise everyone will eat it all."
The answer he got was a slipper thrown out by the old man. What's the
point of keeping it? His wife's teeth can't catch up with his. At most, he can give her a taste to let her know the filial piety of her grandson's wife.
Lu Erming went to deliver things to Professor Shi and his family at about ten o'clock in the evening.
Nowadays, most villagers go to bed at about eight o'clock. The village is quiet now.
The Shi couple lives alone in the cowshed. Of course, this cowshed is old and there are no cows in it. There is nothing strange in summer.
This is because it is easy to get things done with someone in the court.
Lu Erming knocked on the door and heard someone getting out of bed after a while.
Professor Shi and his wife basically go to bed after dinner. Although they have adapted to the current life, they are still tired. After dinner, they basically fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed.
Shi Qian opened the door and saw Lu Erming. He asked in surprise, "Captain, why are you here at this time?"
Lu Erming didn't say hello to them. He handed him the things in his hand and whispered, "This is something Weiguo and his wife sent to you. There is some money and notes in it."
When he heard that it was Lu Weiguo and his wife, Shi Qian was a little excited.
At this time, Shi's mother also got up. She walked to the door and asked, "I just heard you talking about Weiguo. What happened to Weiguo?"
She thought something happened to her son-in-law.
Shi's father patted her on the back and said, "It's okay. Weiguo and Xiaoyu sent us something."
Seeing that the things had been delivered, Lu Erming didn't stay for long. If someone saw it, it would not only be bad for him, but also for Professor Shi and the others.
After Lu Erming left, Shi's father and mother took the things back to the house. For them, they received not only food, but also the news that their daughter and son-in-law were safe.
