When Shen Qingli got home, he parked his bicycle in the open space at the door. After entering the house and closing the door, the first thing he did was to go to the space to make himself a bowl of Haidilao self-heating hot pot.
I went to the milk tea shop in the mall and made myself a cup of milk tea to fill my stomach. I opened the letter and package my parents had sent me. Inside were five new clothes, various candies, fruit candies, milk powder, malted milk, and several pairs of insoles that my mother had sewn herself.
Shen Qingli loved the insoles her mother sewed. They were so comfortable, even the insoles at the Space Mall weren't as comfortable as hers! There was also 600 yuan and various banknotes in her clothes. Shen Qingli figured her parents must have sent her most of the banknotes from the factory.
While eating the self-heating hot pot, I read the letters that were sent to me. They were nothing more than words of concern and care, telling me to put on more clothes when it's cold, and to eat whatever I want and not to worry about the money.
The letter ended by mentioning that an elderly family member of my father's old friend had been framed and exiled to the cowshed of Shengli Brigade. The family had been unable to contact them and was extremely anxious. Money and supplies were nowhere to be found, and those sent by mail were simply not being accepted. By chance, Shen's father told me that Shen Qingli was in the same place as the elderly family member. He hoped to ask Shen Qingli to secretly deliver some money and food to the elderly. The package contained 100 yuan, five kilograms of food, and a cotton-padded jacket, which were brought by the elderly family. The family also bought milk powder and malted milk as a token of gratitude to Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli patted his head. What a fool! Why didn’t he think of helping the people in the cowshed before?
Most of them were framed or persecuted for their stances, and they will gradually be rehabilitated in the next few years. They have all experienced bloody and turbulent times. Their lives in the cowshed were extremely difficult. Not only did they have to work, but they also had to feed cattle and pigs and collect manure. They were not well fed or clothed. From time to time, they were dragged out for struggles, and even children would spit and throw stones at them. In their previous lives, many did not survive, and died before they could be rehabilitated.
In fact, Shen Qingli couldn't be blamed. She had been in the countryside for so long and had never met anyone in the cowshed. The villagers never mentioned it, for fear of being associated with them. She really didn't expect that there were seniors living in the cowshed in the countryside where she went.
Shen Qingli thought about it and didn't rush to reply. He planned to secretly deliver the things to the old man in the cowshed tonight and then return, and by the way, he could also tell them about the old man's current situation.
Meanwhile, Meng Xiao was still jolting on the train back to Beijing. He couldn't help but think of his little girl. His mind was filled with her smile, her coquettishness, her cuteness, and her constant calls of "Brother Meng"...
Meng Xiao felt that he was completely screwed. He decided that the first thing he would do after getting off the car was to find a place and call his family to ask them to prepare everything for the wedding!
After returning to the team and reporting the mission, he immediately wrote a letter to the girl and then quickly wrote a marriage proposal!
Can’t wait! Not even a moment!
After dinner, Shen Qingli stayed on the sofa in his space, watching TV series. There was an internet connection, but he couldn't chat using social media. He could still watch TV series, listen to music, check Baidu, and play games.
Afraid he'd forgotten the time, he set the alarm for eleven. When the alarm rang, Shen Qingli stood up, stretched, and prepared to go over with a hundred yuan, food, and cotton clothes. He paused, thought, and decided to give the malted milk and milk powder to the old woman to supplement her nutrition. She didn't usually drink much, so he didn't want to waste it.
I also grabbed a three-pound piece of meat and five meat buns from the supermarket, fearing they would spoil if stored improperly. Once I was done, I carried my belongings to the cowshed. There was no TV, no cell phone, and no entertainment. In the countryside, people usually go to bed around seven o'clock, and by that time, everyone is generally asleep, so there's no need to worry about being seen.
The autumn night breeze was chilly, and everywhere she looked was pitch black. Shen Qingli hesitated for a moment, deciding to ride her bike. Walking felt a bit too cautious. The surroundings were eerily quiet. It was eerily quiet. Shen Qingli tied her things to the back seat, put on her headphones, and rode her bike. Holding a flashlight in one hand, she headed towards the cowshed. Don't ask her why she kept staring straight ahead...
Why?! She's scared! She doesn't even dare to move her eyes.
Fortunately, the cowshed was not far away and only took four or five minutes to get there by bike. Shen Qingli took off his headphones and put them in the space, unloaded his things, carried them, walked forward and knocked on the door.
They worked during the day and slept soundly at night. After knocking for two minutes, someone finally answered and asked who it was. There were four people living in the room, and being awakened made them nervous. Could they be dragged out for a struggle session in the middle of the night?
"I'm an educated youth who came to the countryside, and I have something to talk to Grandpa Duan about," Shen Qingli said through the door.
Then, he heard footsteps approaching from afar. An old man with gray hair, tattered clothes, and a haggard face, opened the door tremblingly. Shen Qingli's heart sank slightly. Mr. Duan didn't look very well!
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm from the capital. Is it convenient to talk in Grandpa Duan's room?"
Mr. Duan's cloudy but still sharp eyes examined Shen Qingli and paused for a few seconds: "Come in. It's windy outside."
Shen Qingli followed him in. The cowshed was not a place where the cows lived as the name suggested, but a small house built next to the cowshed that could barely shelter from the wind and rain. It was conceivable that the smell must be unpleasant. Looking around, there were four broken wooden beds in the small house, and cooking was also done in this room. Shen Qingli felt a little sad.
He collected his thoughts and placed the things on the only small wooden table in the room. "Grandpa Duan, I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside. My father was asked to bring you a cotton-padded jacket and some food in the package he sent me." He stuffed a hundred yuan in change into Grandpa Duan's hand and shook his head gently.
