Chapter 851 Post Office



Jinian thought he had enough packing. After all, he had lived here for almost eight years, and there were quite a few trivial things scattered around, which would be a pity to throw away.

She simply took them all with her, thinking of sending them to Beijing. Some of the inconspicuous little things in the package had accompanied her through the most difficult eight years, and she was reluctant to throw them away as a souvenir.

Among them are a few small dolls that I carved with great difficulty.

It’s made of solid wood, so isn’t it heavy?

Unexpectedly, Wen Sihe brought twice as much as she did.

Li Guihua's expression was hard to describe: "It will cost a lot of money to send these things to Beijing.

If you ask me, don’t spend money to ship something that can be bought there.

The postage is enough to buy one copy.”

Li Guihua expressed the thoughts of most people, but they had no idea that many of the things Wen Sihe brought were grown in space.

Whether it is rice or other dried fruits, the taste is different from that outside.

Since Lu Zhiye was not around, she naturally had to bring it for her parents to try.

The most important thing is that the spiritual spring water can regulate the body, and the food irrigated by the spiritual spring water can also play a certain role.

My parents have been exiled to the northwest for so long, and even in the coldest weather they have to go out to herd and plant crops.

There must be a lot of chronic diseases in his body. I should take this opportunity to help him recover.

Master Lu San took out a rope and tied the package front and back, leaving some space in the middle.

He pointed to the empty seat and said with a smile: "You two can sit in the middle, so you won't be blown by the cold wind."

Wen Sihe smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "Thank you, Third Grandpa."

The road is not easy to travel on. There was a strong wind last night and a lot of snow was blown onto the road.

The already icy road was covered with a lot of fine snow.

Covered by the white snow, the potholes on the road are completely invisible.

Fortunately, Mr. Lu San often walked this road. Even if he couldn't see it, he drove the old cow very skillfully and avoided the bumpy road.

After arriving in the county town, Mr. Lu drove the ox cart directly to the post office.

There was a long queue in front of the post office, and most of the people were young.

Wen Sihe knew at a glance that these people were most likely educated youth sending letters home.

When everyone saw the cart full of stuff, some of them started to whisper in amazement: "My God, what are all these packages for?"

"Look, there are two more girls coming down, can't they all be theirs?"

Mr. Lu Sanye was very familiar with the postmen at the post office. Whenever the postmen received packages from the educated youth, they would ask Mr. Lu Sanye to take them back.

This would save him from making another trip, so when he saw Mr. Lu San, he quickly put down the kettle in his hand and walked out quickly.

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing......"

Master Lu put the bullwhip on his waist and pointed at Wen Sihe and Jinian: "These belong to the two girls.

I want to send it to the city. What do you think should be done?

Can you give us a lower price? They are all educated youth who went to the countryside. They usually earn a penny and it is good enough for them to have enough to eat. "

Uncle Lu Sanye specifically described the two people as being very pitiful, and these words naturally attracted the approval of the educated youth queuing nearby.

"That's right. This year I didn't get a dime from the food distribution, and I haven't even paid back the hunger relief I borrowed from the brigade last year."

"Isn't it because you're lazy? If you work a little harder, why can't you get a dozen or twenty bucks?"

The person who spoke was a little girl who looked fierce.

Her words made the male educated youth blush, and he stiffened his neck and said in defense: "I am preparing for the college entrance examination, right?

I haven’t been to work for a long time, and the brigade has deducted some of my work points. Who can I go to for justice?”

"You're talking as if you're the only one taking the college entrance exam, so why aren't we taking it?

Aren’t you still getting work points and food distribution?”

The fierce little girl put her hands on her hips and continued.

This really pissed off the young man, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade, I have no grudge against you, why do you keep belittling me?"

"I just can't bear to see you being lazy and making excuses for yourself."

The little girl snorted coldly, turned her head and ignored him.

Mr. Lu and his men also looked back. The postman carefully counted the packages and asked, "Where are these packages going? Are they going to the same place?"

Wen Sihe responded first: "It's the same address. Sorry to bother you, comrade."

The postman nodded, indicating that he understood, and said to Master Lu, "Master Lu, you have too much stuff, just drive the ox cart to the backyard of the post office.

I will count them and send them to you at that time."

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much, Xiao Li."

"Why are you being polite? You've helped me a lot over the past few years."

By the time the postman finished counting all the parcels and Wen Sihe and the others walked out of the post office, it was already noon.

Ji Nian pointed to a big locust tree behind the post office and said to Master Lu San, "Shall we tie the ox cart there?

It's already noon and my stomach is growling with hunger.

Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, it's not far from the post office."

Master Lu waved his hand and said, "I'm going to get the food. You guys go ahead. I'll wait for you guys in the outskirts of the city!"

Wen Sihe took two quick steps and stopped Third Master Lu’s actions: “Hey, Third Master, just come with us.

How can we go to a state-owned restaurant to eat and leave you eating cold pancakes alone?"

Jinian also stood aside and chimed in, “That’s right, over the years, you helped me get the packages back many times.

We were even sent to a youth cadre training center, and we all knew it.

As you can see, I'm going home soon, and I'm not sure whether I will come back or not.

I'll take the liberty of following He He and calling you Third Grandpa, so please allow me to express my gratitude.

It can be considered as a farewell for me......"

Master Lu was at a loss as the two little girls were pestering him, so he had to tie the ox cart under a big locust tree.

After arriving at the state-owned restaurant, I just ordered the cheapest vegetarian noodles.

Jinian looked at the menu and generously ordered two meat dishes, and quietly replaced Mr. Lu Sanye's vegetarian noodles with shredded pork noodles.

This meal cost nearly ten dollars, and the people sitting next to me were all envious.

When I heard the words "braised pork" and "big pork elbow", I dared not open my mouth.

I was afraid that saliva would flow out as soon as I opened my mouth, which would be really embarrassing.

During the meal, Jinian took a pair of unused chopsticks and picked up a lot of meat and vegetables for Mr. Lu Sanye.

The person next to him stared at the big elbow.

He ate the vegetarian noodles in his bowl with big mouthfuls, and it seemed that what he put into his mouth was not the vegetarian noodles, but a greasy pork elbow.
