Li Jinfeng helped the old lady write a letter.
The content of the letter is mostly about some family matters and the author's recent situation.
Suddenly, the old lady stopped.
Li Jinfeng waited for a long time, but when she didn't say anything else, she asked softly, "Old lady, do you have anything else to say?"
"And...and..." The old lady had a conflicted expression on her face, as if she was hesitating whether to tell Li Jinfeng.
"Old lady, if you think the matter is very important and must be written, use some obscure words so that you and your son can understand.
It's the same with my partner when we write letters. There are some things that I understand, and he understands, and that's enough. There's no need to make it clear so a third person can understand after reading the letter!" Li Jinfeng said.
The old lady's eyes lit up and she spoke, "My child, Mom and your sister are trying to find a way to not let you... let you... just wait a little longer!"
The old lady blurred the key words.
Li Jinfeng didn't know what it meant, so she handed the written letter to the old lady.
Holding the letter, the old lady thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, my daughter!"
"You're welcome, old lady!"
"Did you bring the address for sending letters with you?" Li Jinfeng asked.
The old lady nodded and said, "I brought it, I brought it!"
Hearing this, Li Jinfeng felt relieved.
She returned to the letter-mailing queue. Although the line was longer than before, Li Jinfeng was happy in her heart because she had helped others.
The old lady was standing behind her in the queue, and considering what had happened before, the two of them naturally started chatting.
The old lady also trusted Li Jinfeng very much and even talked about her family affairs.
"I'm currently living with my daughter and son-in-law. My daughter is a doctor with a good monthly salary, and my son-in-law is also an employee in the county. But my poor little son is in a remote place and can't even get enough to eat!"
The old lady’s husband’s surname is Zhou, and her daughter is Zhou Jing, who is a doctor in the county hospital.
The old lady didn’t mention her second son. Her youngest son was named Zhou Quan, who went to Nanling for work.
In the 1960s, Nanling was just a small town, even a small fishing village.
It was not until later that it developed into the international metropolis it is today.
"I regret it so much now. Why did I let him go to such a place? It's not easy for him to come back. If I had known, I wouldn't have let him go!" The old lady said with red eyes.
Li Jinfeng gave the old lady a reassuring look and consoled her, "Old lady, good and bad always come together. Who knows, your son's place might be poor now, but after he helps build it up, your life will improve too."
"But I heard that the environment was very difficult back then, even worse than our Anwu County. How...how could it possibly get better?" The old lady hesitated.
"Old lady, believe me, as long as you have a heart and are willing to endure hardships, even the poorest places will eventually get better. By the way, you just said that your son is short of food there?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"Yes, my daughter and son-in-law save their food every month, thinking of sharing some with him and sending it to him, but how can they possibly share all the food and drink for such a large family?
For two months, my daughter has only eaten half of her usual amount at every meal, and the food she saves is not even enough to send over!"
The more the old lady spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Li Jinfeng looked at her and felt pity for her.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Old lady, are you willing to spend money to buy food? I have a way to get food."
Li Jinfeng was very close to the old lady, and only the old lady could hear what she said.
