"Uncle, we've arrived. This is the place."
Lin Qing pointed to the house in front of her and said to the uncle driving the carriage.
"Girl, wow, this house is really impressive!"
The uncle driving the cart looked at the impressive brick and tile house in front of him and said enviously, "This house is almost as big as a landlord's house. Although it's not as big as a landlord's house, it's still a brick and tile house from the outside. And it's built so big. I heard this girl was an educated youth sent to the countryside. I didn't expect she could build such a big house. She must be very rich. Her family is really willing to spend money. No wonder they were willing to spend a dollar to rent a cart."
"Qingqing, you're back."
Hearing the noise, Gu Nanxun pushed his wheelchair out of the house.
"Yes, Brother Nanxun, I'm back. Have you eaten yet?"
Lin Qing saw Gu Nanxun coming out of the house and asked happily. She liked this feeling, this feeling as if someone was waiting for her.
"I ate it, but why is the package so big?!"
Gu Nanxun looked at the three packages on the oxcart and said in surprise.
“I don’t know why my parents mailed so many things. Two of them were mailed by my older brothers.”
After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing touched her nose sheepishly and said...
"Alright, take it inside first."
With the help of the uncle and Gu Nanxun, Lin Qing carried the three bundles to the living room of the main house.
Lin Qing first opened the package sent by her parents. Just as Lin Qing had guessed, the package contained a thick cotton quilt and a thick mattress, which looked brand new.
Besides the quilt and mattress, there were two brand-new cotton-padded jackets, as well as some of Lin Qing's old clothes. There were also some candies, canned food, malted milk powder and other snacks tucked inside the quilt.
Then Lin Qing opened the package sent by her older brother. The first thing she saw was a brand-new women's military coat, which her brother must have swapped with someone else.
Seeing the military overcoat, Lin Qing, unconcerned about the heat, picked it up and put it on. The overcoat was made of thick fabric, reaching up to Lin Qing's calves. In just a moment, Lin Qing was drenched in sweat, so she quickly took it off and placed it aside.
Besides the military overcoat, there was a military water bottle, some dried yak meat wrapped in newspaper, a small packet of saffron, and a packet of red dates.
Lin Qing picked up the military water bottle and examined it carefully. The round bottle was tied to the body with a green ribbon, and there was a large red five-pointed star on the body. Lin Qing tried hanging the water bottle on her body; it fit perfectly.
Besides these, there was also a Chairman Mao badge, 4cm in diameter, with the Chairman's portrait printed on it, which was particularly commemorative. The rest were some gemstones that girls like, such as coral, agate, and turquoise, which filled the whole box.
Lin Qing looked at the box of gems with great delight. No girl could resist such beautiful things, and Lin Qing was no exception.
"Do you like these things, Qingqing?"
Gu Nanxun, watching Lin Qing admiringly examining the gems, asked, "So Qingqing likes these things! Then I'll have Dongzi keep an eye out and collect more."
"Yeah, Nanxun-ge, isn't she pretty?"
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's question, Lin Qing brought the box to Gu Nanxun and showed it to him.
The box was filled with gems of various colors—red, green, and blue—and it was truly beautiful.
"Yes, it's beautiful! It suits Qingqing very well."
After playing with it for a long time, Lin Qing finally opened her second brother's package.
"Pfft..."
As soon as she opened the package, Lin Qing burst out laughing.
Hearing Lin Qing's laughter, Gu Nanxun looked up at her. He saw Lin Qing take out a brand-new military overcoat from her second brother's bag. The only difference between this and her eldest brother's was that this was a men's military overcoat, probably her second brother's own. Perhaps her second brother couldn't find anyone to exchange it with, or perhaps he couldn't think of anyone to exchange it with.
"Pfft..."
Seeing this, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but laugh out loud. Qingqing's two older brothers were really adorable.
Besides the military overcoat, the package also contained a bulging military water bottle, as well as some Northwest specialties, including persimmon cakes, walnuts, Qiong Guo Tang (a type of sweet candy), and some dried fruit.
Lin Qing picked up the Qiong Guo Tang and looked at it. She had eaten this kind of candy before. When she was in college, one of her roommates was from Northwest China, and Qiong Guo Tang was a local specialty that her roommate brought with her.
Qiongguotang is a type of pastry made primarily from millet and barley malt.
The color of Qiong Guo Tang is usually beige or light yellow.
It comes in various shapes, including long strips and flat pieces.
The candy is crisp and has evenly distributed air pockets inside.
The candy that Lin Qing's second brother sent was long, beige-colored strips.
Lin Qing picked up a piece of candy and put it in Gu Nanxun's mouth, then put one in her own mouth as well.
Qiong Guo Tang has a rich sweet taste upon first bite, along with the aroma of millet and sesame.
It makes a "crunch" sound when you bite into it, and it easily breaks into small pieces.
"Brother Nanxun, is it delicious?"
"Hmm, it tastes sweet and doesn't stick to your teeth, which is pretty good."
"whee……"
Besides food, there are also some Northwest souvenirs, such as lifelike shadow puppets and terracotta warriors, as well as masks of the four characters from the Journey to the West.
"Big brother, second brother, you two are indeed twins, your thought processes are exactly the same."
Lin Qing played with the masks of the four characters representing the master and his disciples in her hand, and said to Gu Nanxun with an amused expression.
What is a brain circuit?
Gu Nanxun asked curiously, he really didn't understand what this "brain circuit" was. Was it a term from later generations?
"It means brain. My eldest brother and second brother are twins, so sometimes they think of the exact same things. Like now, they sent me a package. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they both sent me a military overcoat, a water bottle, food and souvenirs without prior arrangement."
"Oh! I see, is this also a word from your later generations?"
"Yes, this is internet slang used in our later generations."
What is the internet?
Comrade Gu Nanxun, who was not ashamed to ask questions, continued to inquire.
"Do you know what a computer is? It's what we call a computer in later generations. The earliest computer appeared in later generations. Later, there were mobile phones, which are the telephones we have today. People could initially publish things and express opinions on computers. Later, mobile phones could also access the Internet. Everyone could see what people posted on the Internet. This is the Internet. As the Internet became more developed in later generations, some words that facilitated communication on the Internet emerged. We call these Internet terms."
"Oh! I see!"
After listening to Lin Qing's explanation, Gu Nanxun nodded and said.
"Come on, Brother Nanxun, I'll take you into the space."
