As the two were talking, He Cuiping suddenly remembered, "Little sister, take the apple over first. I have to go home and cook. I'll come back to chat with you this afternoon."
After saying that, she rushed out, turning back to remind him before leaving, "Tell me when you've finished writing the letter, and we'll mail it together."
Lin Yuxi watched her departing figure, then returned to the table. It was almost noon anyway, and Gu Chen would probably be back soon. A little while later, the quiet room was filled with the sound of papers rustling.
At the end, I added 'All is well, don't worry.'
After finishing writing the letter, she carefully folded it and put it in an envelope. Just then, she heard footsteps outside the door. When she turned around, Gu Chen was back.
He pushed open the door and walked in, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, sweat beading on his forehead and face.
"The letter is written?" He glanced at the envelope on the table. "Then I'll have someone take it out and mail it this afternoon."
"No need. Commissar Wang's wife next door said she'd go with me to mail it. Are you tired? I just boiled some water, have some." Lin Yuxi stood up, went into the kitchen, and poured him some water.
Gu Chen felt that having someone in the family made everything different.
Unlike Gu Zhixiang and his wife, they were elders.
"I'll go cook for you. Don't move, just sit here. I'll go buy a TV for you another day, otherwise you'll be too bored at home."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
I bought some vegetables and meat yesterday, which is perfect for cooking now.
Lin Yuxi took a look at the frame outside when she had nothing to do. Actually, this wooden frame could be used to make a grape trellis.
Moreover, it would be suitable to build a awning under the eaves and at the entrance.
She got right to work and has been busy tidying up the small garden outside these past few days. Although it's small, it's a good place to grow flowers and fruit trees.
He Cuiping, who lives in the neighboring courtyard, was also setting up a rain shelter at that moment. She could see Lin Yuxi just by peeking out.
“Hey girl, are you going to plant fruit trees too? I bought a few extra seedlings. Could you give me a few? I can’t plant them all.” After saying that, He Cuiping climbed down the ladder, carrying a bag in her hand.
"I planted vegetables in the yard, and I can't fit all these flower seedlings in. See if you have any you want, you can take them all, so you don't have to buy them."
Lin Yuxi was turning over the soil at the time. She glanced at it and accepted it all.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need to thank me. You even paid for the mailing a few days ago. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to tidying up my yard." He Cuiping put down her things and hurriedly ran over to finish tidying up her yard.
In addition to the vegetable seedlings in the yard, she also bought two chickens to raise in the yard.
Life in the family compound was sweet and happy, and Jiang Shufen from Qinghe Village finally received a letter from Lin Yuxi.
"Xixi finally sent a letter. She was even worried about the poor harvest in the village. This year, the corn harvest in the village is quite abundant." Jiang Shufen smiled happily as she held the letter. "It seems that she is doing well over there, so I can rest assured."
Lin Weidong, Lin's father, said with a smile, "Once our house and job are settled, you can go to Beijing to visit her. Your parents are getting old, so we won't bother with unnecessary travel. I can take care of them at home."
Jiang Shufen really did have this plan.
After all, she knew what kind of person her daughter was; she couldn't cook, and she didn't know if she would adapt well to life outside.
"We'll talk about it later." Jiang Shufen put the letter away.
