The captain saw that Boss Wang looked unhappy, and a bad feeling came over him. "Well, it's been a few days since he said he was not feeling well and wanted to go to Kyoto for treatment. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Boss Wang's eyes turned red with anxiety: "He asked us to take him to Kyoto last time, but I didn't agree. I didn't expect that he would go there secretly by himself.
He can hardly read or write.
It takes such a long train ride to Kyoto.
What if there is an accident on the road? "
This frightened the captain: "How could this happen! He not only issued a letter of introduction for himself, but also for you. I thought you were going too!"
It's winter and there's not much work to do, so most villagers stay at home to hibernate.
The captain didn't come to ask about the situation, so he didn't know what was going on.
Boss Wang was panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.
The captain gave him some advice: "There's no point in being anxious now. The most urgent thing is to go to the town and make a phone call to inquire about the situation."
Boss Wang: "No phone number, only address."
"Send a telegram."
Wang Lao Da had no money on him, so he hurried home to grab ten yuan and asked He Hua Niang to borrow a bicycle: "Aunt, my father went to Kyoto to look for my mother. I want to go to town and send a telegram to ask about the situation."
Lotus's mother was stunned: "Ah, your father is going to Kyoto, why didn't you tell me? I could have brought something for Lotus."
Boss Wang gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know either. He went there secretly."
"Ah, you went there alone. It's so far, you're not afraid of encountering pickpockets." Lotus Mother didn't expect Wang Changsheng to be so bold. Anyway, she didn't dare to go.
"Can you ride a bike? If not, let your second child take you there." Lotus mother gave birth to three sons and one daughter.
After the old secretary's incident was exposed, the eldest and youngest sons committed suicide because they couldn't understand the situation, so of the three sons, only the second son and a daughter were left.
Mr. Wang didn't have a bicycle at home, and he had never learned how to ride one: "If you don't know how, that would be troublesome."
Lotus mother smiled and said: "It's the end of the year, and I don't have anything to do. I'll send it off. It won't delay my work."
Arrived in town.
Boss Wang sent a telegram with two lines of text, which cost him several dollars. He felt very sorry for it and said: "Sending a telegram is too expensive. It's more cost-effective to write a letter."
Xu Laoer agrees with this statement: "Not only is it expensive, but it's also hard to explain. Writing letters is so much better. You can write as much as you want and the price is the same."
When Boss Wang and his companion were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He turned around and looked.
It's the postman.
"Comrade, there's my package!"
The postman is responsible for delivering to several villages near Shifeng Village.
Matchmaker Li sends a package once every two months.
After delivering the mail several times, the postman remembered Boss Wang's name.
"Yes, it's from Kyoto. Here's the note. Go pick up the package at the counter."
Boss Wang said with gratitude: "Thank you——"
The postman smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is my job."
When the postman received the note, Xu Laoer saw her mother's name and said, "Comrade, my family also has a package. This note is written in my mother's name. Can I take it too?"
"Ning Xiaoni is your mother?" The postman only knew He Hua Niang, not Xu Lao Er.
"Yes, the sender is Xu Hehua, that's my sister, also in Kyoto."
The postman was very cautious. He did not give the note directly to Xu Laoer, but asked him for a letter of introduction: "Let me see the letter of introduction."
Xu Laoer took out a letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it to the postman.
The postman read the letter of introduction and matched the information before giving him the package note.
Get the note.
The two came to the counter specifically for picking up packages.
Boss Wang’s package was smaller, weighing about 34 kilograms.
Xu Laoer has two, weighing about seventy or eighty kilograms in total.
When Boss Wang saw the package Hehua had sent, he gasped, "There are so many, the shipping fee must be quite a bit, right?"
Xu Laoer was also surprised. He had never sent so many packages before. Could it be because the Chinese New Year was approaching? "It should be quite a lot. I sent a 20-kilogram package before, and it cost me several yuan."
Boss Wang took a deep breath. Twenty kilograms would require so much, wouldn’t seventy or eighty kilograms be even more!
Oh my god.
The shipping cost can buy a lot of things!
The two men tied the package to the back seat with a rope.
The three packages stacked together looked like a mountain.
With so many things in the back seat, it's definitely not possible for anyone to sit.
Xu Laoer asked Wang Lao Da to sit on the front horizontal bar.
Boss Wang looked at Old Second Xu with a look of shock. "This, this is not good! How can two grown men stand so close to each other?"
Xu Laoer also felt that it was not good: "Then where do you sit?"
Boss Wang: "Or, I'll walk."
Xu Laoer looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "It feels like it's going to rain. It's not realistic to walk."
Boss Wang was at a loss now: "What should we do?"
Xu Laoer patted the horizontal bar, tilted his head and said, "Sit here. No matter what others say, as long as we can get home as soon as possible, that's all that matters."
Boss Wang was also afraid of the rain, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay..."
Boss Wang is tall.
Sitting on the horizontal bar completely blocks the view in front.
Xu Laoer couldn't see clearly and almost flipped over. He stopped and said, "No, you are too tall. You can stand on the diagonal bar below and squat down, holding the handlebar in front or the horizontal bar.
I think it’s easier to ride this way.”
Boss Wang stepped on it as he was told.
Although this allows you to see the front clearly, it will be uncomfortable if you pedal for a long time.
"Drive for a while and take a break."
Xu Laoer also knew that squatting for too long would be uncomfortable, so he nodded and said, "Okay..."
Arrived at the village entrance.
Xu Lao Er stopped the car and asked Wang Lao Da to get off first: "The roads in the village are too narrow. It's not easy to ride a bike. You have to push it."
Xu Laoer sent Wang Lao Da home first.
The eldest brother's wife thought the packages on the back seat of the bicycle were all from her family. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head: "Boss, are these all ours?"
Boss Wang said bluntly, "You're dreaming! The two are from Old Second Xu. Hehua has a higher salary, so she can send more."
The eldest daughter-in-law is easily satisfied. She laughed and said, "It's not bad to have one. When my mother was at home, she couldn't get so many good things!"
Talking about this, Boss Wang was very proud: "Of course, my mother is amazing!
Knowing that he could not save much money by working all year round, he went to learn how to be a matchmaker.
You can make some money as a matchmaker every year."
The eldest daughter-in-law admires many people, and Matchmaker Li is one of them: "Yes, my mother is very capable and knows how to seize opportunities.
She works in Kyoto, and we can all enjoy the benefits.
Mother is so good, she needs to live longer."
Xu Lao Er unpacked the package and handed it to Wang Lao Da: "I'm leaving first."
Boss Wang put the package aside and held onto Old Second Xu, not letting him leave: "No, eat first."
Xu Lao Er refused: "No, no, I still have to send the package back, so as not to make my mother worry."
Boss Wang looked at the packages piled on the back seat and said, "Okay, you can come over later."
Xu Lao Er shook his head: "Not coming anymore."
