After watching her ride away, He's mother chatted with the people at the entrance of the village for a while before going home.
She had a lot of things to do today. It was the first time her grandfather-in-law came to visit, so the food couldn't be bad, and the house had to be cleaned.
I'll help my daughter clean the two newly built rooms later, and then take some time to go up the mountain to pick some fresh mushrooms.
Ouch!
Can't think, the more you think, the more things will happen~
He Wanqing, who was leaving, was unaware of her mother's busyness. She was riding her bike towards the commune, humming.
The journey took an hour by ox cart, but with her pedaling on the hot wheels, she reached the commune in half an hour.
She went straight to the post office without going to the supply and marketing cooperative first, and looked at the female comrade at the counter: "Big sister, is there any letter from He Wanqing today?"
"Yes, there is a package for you." The woman looked up at her and found that it was her who sent the mountain products two days ago. She immediately stood up and walked to the corner, carrying a package of things.
"Here, this is your package. It's sent from Wushan County." Then he handed her the form for her to sign.
"Okay, thank you, big sister." She was not surprised to know that it was a package sent by her parents-in-law. After all, the old man was coming, so they would definitely send clothes over.
He Wanqing took the two slips and took a quick look. After she found out that the letter was from Gu Chengan, she signed and asked again:
"Comrade, do you have a letter from Chen Ping of the Hejia Brigade?" Since Gu Cheng'an sent the letter, Su Benjun should have sent it as well.
"Yes, do you want to take it back with you?"
The female comrade who had helped the two of them mail things looked at her curiously. After seeing her nod, she stood up and took the letters on the side, took out Chen Ping's and handed it to her, while handing her a form for her to sign.
After handing her the signed form and signing Chen Ping's form, He Wanqing left the post office with the two letters and the package.
Looking at the sack of packages, she regretted not going to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
She turned around and looked around, and after finding that there was no one on the opposite side, she walked into the alley, holding the package in one hand and pushing the bicycle with the other.
After walking for a long time, she arrived at a crossroads deep in the alley. She looked around and when she saw no one, she directly delivered the package into the space, and then rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative from the other side.
It took only ten minutes, and after helping Chen Ping buy the things, He Wanqing rode her bike back.
Not far from the commune, at the edge of a reed marsh, I took out a cured chicken, pig's trotters, large bone sticks, ribs and a large piece of pork from the bicycle and put them into the basket on the handlebars.
He took out the package again, tied it to the back seat with a rope, and then rode his bicycle back to the team.
It took her half an hour to get there, and on the way back, because the sun was too strong, it was too hot and there was no wind, and there were a lot of packages, it took her an hour to get back to the team.
"Mom, I'm back. I told you I'd be back soon and wouldn't buy too many things, but you didn't believe me and kept telling me off.
You~" The bicycle had just stopped in the yard, and before he finished speaking, he could not hear the voice of He's mother, but only heard the teasing of He's grandmother:
"Well, luckily your mom went to warn you, otherwise I would have thought you were going to move. Look at all the bags you have, you can't buy enough, right????"
He Wanqing, who had taken down the vegetable basket with great effort, did not hear her mother's voice and was frightened by Grandma He's sudden voice.
"Grandma, didn't I just see you at the entrance of the village? How come you came back so quickly?" Or did you come out of the house? ? ?
She didn't dare ask this question, for fear of being scolded by the old lady for making the wrong choice.
"Then you got the wrong person. Your grandma and I went out for a while this morning and then we didn't go out again."
Just as Grandma He finished her words, Grandma Shen came out with a basin of peeled beans.
"Stop yelling. Your mom went up the mountain to pick fresh mushrooms. But Wanqing, how did you mistake your grandma for your grandma? Can you tell me?"
Uh~
She reached out and wiped the sweat off her forehead. After putting her things down, she turned her bike around and pushed it away, saying:
"Grandma, grandma, I'm going to go home to put the package away and come back later." After saying this, the person was already outside.
After not hearing any sound from the two people behind her, she patted her chest and rode her bike home.
She greeted everyone along the way home. Just as she took the things out of the package, she saw her mother coming in with a backpack and a basket of vegetables.
"Didn't I tell you not to buy things randomly? What did you buy this time?" He's mother asked while taking off the backpack.
Regarding her daughter's loose-willed behavior, He's mother felt that it was fortunate that she was the mother of the natal family, otherwise, with her daughter's loose-willed behavior, she felt that it was necessary to divide the family.
Otherwise, if she sees him several times a day, she will get sick from anger. It's such a waste of money, as if the money came from the wind.
If He Wanqing knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell her that although she didn't get anything from scratch, she got a lot from robbery, so she could spend as much as she wanted.
After all, it’s thirty or forty thousand. In the current environment, how much do you have to spend every day to spend it all?
"Mom, this is not bought by me." The woman holding the clothes paused and looked at her mother helplessly.
"If you didn't buy it, then where did it come from????" After washing her hands, He's mother came into the room and asked again after looking at the things on the kang.
"Mom, my parents-in-law sent some clothes and fabrics to the old man, as well as this pile of milk powder and malted milk."
Pointing at the things on the kang, she explained again.
Fortunately, she had the list written by her mother-in-law in her hand, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
"Really?" He was obviously still a little bit unconvinced, but when he looked at the list in her hand, he began to believe it a little.
"Here, this is the list my mother-in-law wrote. If you don't believe it, check it out one by one."
Really, does she look like the unreliable type?
I've said I won't make large purchases, definitely not!
Waving her hand and refusing to look at the list she handed over, He's mother counted the numbers for her and said:
"Okay, I believe you. You read one and I'll count for you. This way it's fast. You and I will go home later."
"knew."
I picked up the list again and started comparing again.
Ten minutes later, the mother and daughter put the old man's things into the kang cabinet in his room, and also put malted milk and milk powder aside for the old man to drink.
The two of them left with the fabric to make clothes and shoes for the baby.
Along the way, people who came back from work to cook looked at what the mother and daughter were holding, and many of them were curious about what they were holding.
After some questioning, they all turned around with gloomy faces and went home to cook. They were not in the mood to chat with the mother and daughter just now.
Especially Zhu Sanni and her daughter who heard the conversation in the crowd. When they saw He's mother smiling brightly, their hearts tightened and they walked away cursing without looking back.
Seeing this, He's mother and He Wanqing, who were not far away, curled their lips in a mocking smile, and walked away towards home amid everyone's envy.
