Chapter 40: Going to the County Town to Mail a Package



Gu Zhenqi walked quickly to the door. She looked up at the sun hanging in the western sky. Its position was almost the same as when she first entered the space.

In the space, although she didn't check the time, she was busy all the time.

But judging by all the things that were done, nearly two hours should have passed.

She was so focused that she forgot the time and hurried out of the space. She was really worried that the children would not be able to see her and would cry anxiously.

So, Gu Zhenqi pondered for a moment and came up with the most reasonable explanation: the time in space flows much slower than outside!

Gu Zhenqi was a little excited after coming to this conclusion. If that was the case, she wouldn't have to worry about the children outside worrying about her when she went into the space to be busy in the future!

While the children were still asleep, Gu Zhenqi went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Since she has promised to prepare three meals a day for her family, she must be a qualified cook!

Half a month passed quickly. Under the diligent and responsible care of the cook Gu Zhenqi, not only Ruiduo but also Fei'an met her expectations. Her little cheeks now look chubby, pink and cute.

Even Wang Guiying, Chen Guo, Ge Yun, Chen Xiaoxiao, Chen Zhizhi, Chen Qiang, and Fan Chun all benefited from it. They did the exhausting farm work every day, and they actually became fatter!

Every day, he has oily food to eat, and every meal is full. He has more energy to work in the fields, and his spirits and outlook seem to be better than anyone else in the village!

Some curious villagers couldn't help but ask what kind of nourishing things they were taking.

Wang Guiying and the others always laugh it off and joke around. Is that a good thing? Every family has something hidden!

Even the piece of bacon skin that you usually use to wipe your mouth and satisfy your cravings has to be locked up!

If the villagers knew about this, wouldn't it be better for them to eat and drink every day than during the Chinese New Year?

The whole village was in an uproar. Some villagers who felt they had seen through the truth of the matter believed that Gu Zhenqi was on good terms with the Chen family now!

Chen Kuo's allowance must have been used to supplement the family income. If the Chen family members are well fed, they will naturally have strength!

The villagers who were unwilling to give up secretly crawled near the wall of Chen's house several times. Gu Zhenqi discovered them immediately and chased them away with a big broom without any hesitation.

As a result, Chen Xiaoxiao and Chen Zhizhi, who were crowned the fattest students in the class, had to be extremely cautious when eating the snacks that Gu Zhenqi brought for them, and they could only eat them at their secret base.

After breakfast

"Mom, I want to take the child to the county town today. In Chen Kuo's last letter, he mentioned that he wanted me to mail him a photo of the child!"

"I'll go with you. I'm worried about you, a woman taking care of two such young children. With me here, I can help you keep an eye on whatever you do," Wang Guiying said worriedly.

Gu Zhenqi thought that if her mother-in-law came with her, it would be more convenient for her. She could also go to the black market to see if she could make some money.

"Okay, then mom, you come with us, we can take a photo together and mail it to Chen Kuo!"

"Me? Why are you taking pictures? My face is full of wrinkles, it doesn't look good!"

Wang Guiying was obviously saying one thing and thinking another. Of course, she wanted her old son to see what she looked like, but she was a little embarrassed to do so.

The others went to work in the fields. Gu Zhenqi, Wang Guiying and Rui Duo took Fei An to ask the team leader for leave and a certificate to leave the village.

The captain did not make things difficult for them and helped them complete the formalities happily.

Gu Zhenqi and Wang Guiying each carried a child and walked towards the county town.

Their village is not remote and is about the same distance from the county town and the town. If you can walk fast, you can get there in an hour and a half!

It takes an ordinary person two hours to get there, but if you have a bicycle, it will take 40 minutes faster or an hour slower.

Mainly, it is out of the village. There is a long road, and most of the road in front is washed away by water. It is a bumpy gravel road. It is okay to walk, but it is not easy to walk on a bicycle.

They walked quite fast and reached the county town in about an hour and a half.

I rely entirely on my two feet, and the soles of my feet hurt a little when I walk.

As soon as they entered the county town, they went directly to the photo studio. At Gu Zhenqi's insistence, Wang Guiying half-reluctantly, but in fact very willingly, took two group photos;

Each adult took a separate photo; for the children, three photos were taken for each.

At this moment, Gu Zhenqi missed her previous life very much. She could take pictures with a mobile phone and had a printer at home, so she could take and print pictures anytime and anywhere, which was extremely convenient.

Even after the photos were taken, they could not be picked up on the same day and one had to wait for a few days. Gu Zhenqi collected the receipt and left the photo studio.

She brought Wang Guiying, Ruiduo and Fei'an to the state-owned hotel and told them to wait for her!

After leaving the state-owned restaurant alone, she found a secret place and took out 30 kilograms of miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and dried shellfish, 5 kilograms of fish fillets, 10 kilograms of beef jerky, 10 kilograms of pork paste, and 20 cans of spicy fish, chili, shellfish, and beef sauce.

10 pieces of marinated duck and 10 pieces of air-dried spicy rabbit jerky.

20 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables, 30 kilograms of snacks, candies, milk powder, tea bags, etc.

Every 100 of them include salted duck eggs and 20 jars of delicious pickles she made herself.

Some daily necessities, four new sets of clothes, 10 pairs of underwear, and 10 pure white vests.

Gu Zhenqi had never been anyone's wife, so she tried to mail everything she could think of to Chen Kuo.

In the attached letter, she found all the things in it to be very reasonable and there was no loophole or excuse.

It looks like a lot of food, but Chen Kuo is a grown man, if he eats as much as he wants, he will definitely finish it all in a month.

Gu Zhenqi's generosity really scared the post office staff, not because they had to pay a lot of postage, but because there were so many of them and they had never seen them before!

Gu Zhenqi saw the staff's surprise and confusion, and explained: "This is the river water in our village. It was diverted to irrigate rice. The water became shallow, and my family members were brave enough to go down to the river to fish it out!"

"That's all I have. My husband has been in the army for several years and hasn't come back. Thinking of how hard he's been suffering, I made it and mailed it to you!"

Gu Zhenqi placed beef jerky, pickled duck, spicy dried rabbit, and pork at the back.

Moreover, she mailed it in two batches, and the second time she covered part of her face and changed her clothes.

The difference was only a few minutes, and she even specially replaced another staff member.

The amount of mail she mailed at one time was too eye-catching, and she didn’t want to become a public target, so although she wasn’t very low-key, she was somewhat low-key!

At least the items were mailed out successfully and no trouble came to me.

Gu Zhenqi originally planned to mail the things to Chen Kuo first, and then mail the photos a few days later.

Chen Kuo must always be kept in mind, otherwise it would be too easy for him!

It's a blessing to have such a good daughter-in-law and two lovely children like Ruiduo and Feian.

If she owes the two children, Chen Kuo also owes them, but hers has an extra layer of guilt!

In this life, they will work together to compensate the children and make Ruiduo and Feian the happiest children!

In the future, the whole family can...
