In the evening, when the communicator Lu Xun returned from the regiment headquarters, he pulled a cart full of packages.
It was almost the beginning of the summer holiday, and almost every family of the educated youth sent them packages, including food, clothing and other useful things, most of which were local specialties.
But Yun Qiao didn't expect that he would also receive a package.
The letter and the package were sent by Qin Lili. It was rare that she could still think of her during her golden age.
The package Qin Lili sent was not big, but it contained a lot of things.
There were Shanghai's famous Gaoqiao muffins, five-spice beans, two barrels of malted milk; there was also a bag of candies containing pear paste candy, peanut nougat, White Rabbit milk candy, and even two chocolates with liquor fillings.
In addition, there were even two packs of high-end Hucheng brand cigarettes.
Qin Lili's package can be said to be full of sincerity. Not to mention the cigarette tickets, pastry tickets and candy tickets are not easy to get, even the money for buying things costs a lot.
Yun Qiao even began to feel strange and wondered if the package was really sent by Qin Lili?
After all, Qin Lili is still a student, and at present, she does not have the ability to buy such a holiday gift.
Yun Qiao read the letter again. This time there were three copies of the letter, one from Gao Xiaoping.
As usual, Yun Qiao read Qin Lili's letter first. She wrote some blessings on the letter, saying goodbye to her in advance. She also wrote that she was sending the package on her behalf. Except for the bag of candy, the other things were gifts sent to her by Yun Qiao's tenant, Sister Gao Xiaoping.
Seeing this, Yun Qiao's doubts were finally answered.
It turned out that the package was not sent by Qin Lili alone.
If it was Gao Xiaoping, it would be clear.
So Yun Qiao immediately opened Gao Xiaoping's letter.
Gao Xiaoping's letters were like her style: very straightforward, brief, and without any long-winded nonsense.
In addition to the greetings, it also wrote what was sent in the package.
She said that the food would not last long, so she was asked to finish it as soon as possible to prevent it from going bad. The malted milk could be kept and drunk slowly.
Let her decide what to do with the extra two packs of cigarettes. It would be best to give them away. After all, when you're out in the countryside, it's best to build good relationships with the locals.
After reading Gao Xiaoping's letter, Yun Qiao couldn't help but sigh that she really met a fantastic tenant!
It was worth waiting for so many days, just for her. Such a good tenant is really hard to come by!
When I opened the last letter, I found that sister Su Hua still had terrible handwriting. Fortunately, this time she knew how to write all the characters and didn't draw the O anymore.
In addition to writing some regular birthday wishes, she also drew an ugly picture of the Bund and Huangpu River in Shanghai, with the six big words "Happy Birthday, Sister" written on it, and blooming fireworks next to it.
Well... the painting is ugly, but the intention is still good.
Yun Qiao put the things in the package away, leaned over the desk and began to write replies to each of them.
After writing the letter, Yun Qiao still needed some return gifts. He planned to go to the Gongyi Market in the next few days to buy some special Northeastern mountain products to send back.
Gao Xiaoping's holiday gift was quite generous: a pack of Hucheng brand cigarettes cost fifty cents, two packs cost one dollar. A tub of malted milk cost three dollars and a half, two tubs cost seven dollars. Gaoqiao pancakes and five-spice beans, while not expensive, were heavy, and together they cost at least a dollar.
The price of all these things is almost ten yuan.
This is the first time a son-in-law goes back to his mother-in-law’s house to give gifts, and that’s all!
Gao Xiaoping is very generous, so she naturally cannot be stingy in returning the gift.
