Ning Xiyue put the book aside, grabbed her hair and thought about how to respond to the content of the letter. She had never replied to a love letter before.
This was indeed the first time for a young lady to get into a sedan chair.
But it's really difficult for her.
She also had to write everyone's letters on the train, mail them when she arrived at Yongchuan Commune, and then write them again when she returned to the team. The round trip was really time-consuming and laborious.
Ning Qingyuan poked his head down from the upper bunk and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you doing? Your hair is a mess. If you keep pulling it out, it's going to be bald."
"I was thinking about the letter I was writing home. We can mail it on the way when we get there."
Ning Xiyue was startled, straightened her hair, took out a piece of letter paper, shook it a few times, and answered evasively.
"Then when you write, leave a few lines for me at the back of the notebook and I'll continue writing. Let's save some paper and ink." Ning Qingyuan believed it. He had been leaning sideways when he heard the interesting words, so he immediately adjusted his posture and leaned over the railing, handing over a pen: "This pen is easy to use. Use this to write."
Ning Xiyue shook her head and took out her own pen: "Brother, no need, I have a pen that works just as well."
"Okay, then write it for me." Ning Qingyuan half leaned against the wall again, and suddenly remembered that he had something to say, so he leaned over again: "By the way, sister, give me the food later, I'll go turn on the water and heat it up, you sit here and watch the luggage."
"Okay, there will probably be a lot of people going to get hot water later, so let's go get some water early so we can have lunch early. We get hungry quickly if we eat early in the morning."
"If you hadn't told me, I'd actually be a little hungry." Ning Qingyuan touched his stomach and looked at the time: "I think it's already half past ten. Let's wait another half hour and then we can act."
Ning Xiyue took out the two chocolates Comrade Ji had given her from her pocket and handed one to her: "Eat a piece of chocolate to fill your stomach."
Ning Qingyuan took it with a smile and asked curiously, "How many chocolates did Brother Ji give you?"
"Hey, that's all I have, eat it quickly."
Ning Xiyue held the only two remaining pieces of chocolate in her hand. The chocolates of this era were made with much more real ingredients than those in later generations, and they were not greasy to eat. Unfortunately, she did not have foreign exchange coupons and could not go to the Friendship Store to buy some.
"Later, shall we eat the dish that Brother Re brought back or the dish Comrade Ji gave us?"
Ning Qingyuan thought about it carefully. Both dishes were delicious meat. He wanted to eat both of them. He could eat either one first. He had already tasted the braised chicken that his eldest brother brought back. He might as well eat the one he hadn't had first. "I'll eat the one that Brother Ji gave me first. Let me try his cooking skills."
Ning Xiyue nodded and took out the package containing the meals for the past few days. She took out a lunch box of spicy rabbit cubes, three lunch boxes of rice, and a lunch box of vegetarian dishes and put them in a bowl. Then she put it on the small table in front of her and raised her chin slightly to her second brother:
"Brother, why don't we heat it up now? It's getting late."
"Okay, I'm just hungry." He was so excited about eating, and he had the energy to do so. He put down the chocolate in his hand, scurried down from the upper bunk, put on his shoes, and ran out with the basin in hand: "Sister, wait for me to come back."
"Slow down, there's no rush." Ning Xiyue smiled helplessly at her second brother who was in a hurry. This really proved the saying that he was the most active when eating.
After sending her second brother away, Ning Xiyue could finally write her reply with peace of mind. With him around, she couldn't write this letter in response to Comrade Ji and always felt embarrassed.
In order to finish writing the letter before her second brother came back, Ning Xiyue took out a pen and wrote quickly, trying to be concise and to finish the letter in just a few sentences.
Since Comrade Ji has written a confession letter, and everything is clear in the letter, she can't keep him hanging. She has to make it clear whether she wants to reject or accept. She has to write down her thoughts and tell him first. She can't be ambiguous. This is not her style.
She had thought of the general idea, first expressing her feelings on receiving the letter and the money note, and then writing her answer to the question.
Accept this sincere feeling, and from now on the two of you will enter the dating mode. From today on, you are dating with the purpose of getting married. You should keep in touch by writing letters frequently. If you have any issues or problems, you should write letters to communicate in time. Don't hide things from each other and don't keep silent.
She had read too many modern novels before, and many misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists were caused by the fact that they did not have mouths. She did not want such a situation to happen to her and Comrade Ji.
Reality cannot compare to the dramatic novels and TV shows. No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot withstand repeated wear and tear. No matter how many misunderstandings there are, they cannot be offset by the last sentence of "I made a mistake". Feelings that have been worn away will not grow back out of thin air.
She and Comrade Ji are in a long-distance relationship, so they need more communication.
As for marriage, that is something for the future and she won't mention it for now. She needs to examine him and only move on to the next step if he passes the examination.
She is a rational person and will not be obsessed with love.
Ning Xiyue wrote all of this in the letter, but she still made it a little more tactful and not so plain.
I wrote it down in a very fluent manner and before I knew it I had written a short essay of a thousand words.
I said I would keep it concise, but once I started writing I couldn't stop and even included chocolate. What a mistake.
"Host, can I record your relationship? I'm not very knowledgeable in this area and need to learn more to expand my knowledge and scope."
Ning Xiyue put the letter in her hand into the envelope, affixed the stamp, and gave a look to the little turtle lying on the table: "What kind of business scope have you learned? Are you going to open a small classroom training class for hosts on love knowledge?"
