"Du Jiang, Du Jiang, come out and get the letter." Du Jiang, who was picking knotweed in the yard, heard the shouting outside and quickly got up and went out.
"Hello, I'm Du Jiang"
"It's you, nice to see you again," the postman waved to Du Jiang who was walking towards him, then took out a letter from the shoulder bag he was carrying, and then pointed to the package on the back seat, "These are all yours. If you want a reply, please wait until next week. Our director has assigned a task to the village. Your Dujia Village is every Tuesday. Don't make any mistakes."
"Really?" Du Jiang was a little surprised. "Didn't you say last time that you don't run often?"
"Hey, last time was last time. From now on, I have to deliver not only letters but also newspapers to the end of the village, so I'm responsible for the mail from your two villages, Dujia Village and Xiazhuang Village." The postman smiled very heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "The educated youth have a lot of letters, so the director started assigning people to go to the villages, and this job fell on me since I just arrived."
The postman was a very talkative person. Even if Du Jiang didn't respond, he would still talk happily. After he finished talking, the postman parked the car neatly and handed the package and letter to Du Jiang.
"Here are your letters and packages, take them." After confirming that Du Jiang had the packages securely, the delivery guy got back on the car. "Let's go, Comrade Du. See you next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Du Jiang's reply, the figure of the postman who was talking to himself had disappeared in the evening breeze. Looking at the quickly disappearing figure, Du Jiang hurriedly carried the package into the yard.
Looking at the package in her arms, which was no less than the last one, Du Jiang could only say that fortunately the educated youth point was located at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village. There was no one else living nearby except Aunt Du's house and Aunt Cui's house on the left and right. Fortunately, these two aunts were not talkative people, otherwise the gossip in the village tomorrow would definitely be about her package.
When Du Jiang took the package back, Huo Yang and his group who had gone to the mountain to collect firewood had not returned yet. Du Jiang opened the package and took a rough look. It was just clothes. After confirming that there was nothing else mixed in, Du Jiang stuffed the package into the cabinet and then opened the letter in his hand. As the envelope was opened, the first things that fell out were food coupons, sugar coupons and withdrawal slips.
A thin piece of paper fluttered down the envelope and fell to the ground. Du Jiang quickly bent down to pick it up and saw the amount on it at a glance: one, two, three zeros. Du Jiang was astonished and hurriedly took out the letter from the envelope. After unfolding it and reading it, Du Jiang felt like he had gotten rich.
As for things like the discord between parents, siblings and so on, Du Jiang didn't take it to heart at all. Her memories of the past were very poor, and it was impossible for her to have any memories now that she was thousands of miles away. Although Du Ke's letter was vague, Du Jiang was not a fool. Although she didn't like to talk, it didn't mean that she didn't understand. The other party was trying to soothe her guilt in this way. As for Zhuang Xiangqiao, it was easier to understand. Maybe it was guilt, but what did it have to do with Du Jiang? She only knew that her life would be better with the money. Of course, her life would not be bad even without the money.
Thinking of this, Du Jiang had an idea for her reply. She looked at the still outside the yard, picked up her pen and began to write. It was nothing more than thanking her mother for her love and her sister for her concern. As for why she didn't mention Du's father and Du Liangcai, I'm sorry, your letter didn't mention these two people, so of course these two people won't be in the reply.
When Huo Yang and the others entered the yard, Du Jiang had almost finished writing his reply. He looked at the letter paper and put away his pencil with satisfaction.
"Du Jiang, help light the fire," Du Jiang quickly answered Qian Meili's call from outside the yard, "I'll be right there."
While making a fire, Du Jiang was multitasking. He looked at the letters on the shelf that unfolded as he wished and started browsing again. The obscure meaning throughout the letters made Du Jiang curl his lips. This man was still as selfish as ever, but it was better this way, as it would avoid any disputes in the future. As for the contradictions between the lines of Du's mother's words, Du Jiang shook his head and ignored it. This man was like this only because he was the one who was farthest away from home among the three children and had the hardest life. If he was still in the Du family, he would probably still be that neglected little cutie.
"Let's eat black-faced steamed buns today," Qian Meili discussed with Chen Xiaozhen while kneading the dough.
"You just decide, I'll help you," Chen Xiaozhen kept saying while pinching the leek heads in her hand.
Du Jiang raised his head from the stove and looked at the two people in front of him who were so close to each other. He had some understanding of the content of the dream. Perhaps it was because of the close relationship between the two that Qian Meili could always push Chen Xiaozhen from behind when she retreated or was weak.
Du Jiang was extremely happy after figuring out the content of the dream, but he also became wary of Qian Meili and Chen Xiaozhen. After all, knowing that his best friend had entrusted her to the wrong person and still adding fuel to the fire, or knowing that he had married the wrong person and still constantly conspiring his best friend to add fuel to the fire, it can only be said that these two people are a perfect match.
After observing for the next few days, Du Jiang had to say that Qian Meili and Chen Xiaozhen were indeed soulmates and good friends. Their personalities and ideas were surprisingly consistent at times. They were not bad by nature, but they could not help but show jealousy at times, just like now:
Aunt Du: "Oh, you must be Chen Xiaozhen, the educated youth. You're really pretty. Are you dating?"
Qian Meili: "Xiaozhen doesn't have one, but she doesn't plan to look for someone from the village. She has a good family background and wants to go back to the city."
Chen Xiaozhen: “…”
Watching the conversation at the door, Du Jiang lowered his head and quickly used Huo Yang's tall body to shield himself and walked aside.
Unfortunately, Aunt Du’s eyes are like a magnifying glass, and her vision is so good.
"Du Jiang, why are you walking so fast? Come here, let me tell you something."
Du Jiang was embarrassed. He stopped and turned around to walk over resignedly. His steps were very slow and reluctant. Unfortunately, Aunt Du didn't understand and thought that Du Jiang was in some special situation. When Du Jiang came to her, she blinked her eyes and looked like she understood, which made Du Jiang feel upset.
Du Jiang frowned tiredly and said resignedly, "Auntie, what do you want from me? The clappers have been ringing several times. If I'm late, it will be troublesome."
"What are you afraid of? The village chief hasn't even left the house yet, what are you afraid of?" Aunt Du laughed and pulled Du Jiang into her strong arms. Her broad arms held Du Jiang in her arms affectionately and asked in a low voice, "Have you found out what I asked you to find out last time?"
Ask? What's going on? Du Jiang was bewildered, his mind racing, but to no avail. He could only turn his head to look at Aunt Du, struggling a bit, but the force was no more than a tickle to Aunt Du.
"No, you forgot, it's about my sweet girl and Li Hongjun"
Now it was Du Jiang's turn to be confused.
