After the introduction to the children, the adults' side was almost done.
Everyone picked out what they needed, and each family received a gift.
It’s nothing, just some fruits and seafood that we brought back, and we each got a portion to try.
As for the gifts Song Jinxiu wanted to give, she visited each family one by one.
By the time I finished all my work, three days had passed.
Song Jinxiu stayed at home for two days and had to go to work at the department store.
Are there any changes after the public-private partnership? For workers, I really don't feel anything.
The owner has changed, but everything else remains the same except for the price adjustment.
Oh, she switched from a private enterprise to a public enterprise and is now a civil servant, a real iron rice bowl.
Some of the former boss's relatives are not so arrogant now.
After all, I am no longer a relative of the boss, but a chosen worker.
Song Jinxiu heard this from other people, because she was only an acquaintance with them, and their attitude was quite nice when they met.
Half a month later, Song Jinxiu received a large package from Jing City.
"What did you send me this time? It's so big. Didn't you tell me not to send me anything?" Song Jinxiu muttered while holding the cart with difficulty.
I have to go to the post office to pick up the package myself, so tiring!
When you open it, you will see a wide variety of things inside, including everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Silk scarves, small leather shoes, and several dresses. The food included various preserved fruits, candied fruits, cakes, and even several small jars of pickled vegetables.
Song Jinxiu looked at the sender. Ha, it turned out to be from Xia Xingchen.
She flipped through it happily and found a letter.
As mentioned above, his family really liked the canned food she gave them.
To express her gratitude, his mother prepared several sets of clothes and shoes for Song Jinxiu. Since she was not sure about the size of the shoes, she chose two sizes smaller.
When you reply, could you tell me which skirt and shoes you liked and whether you bought the right ones?
The Beijing white pears are not available yet, but the preserved fruits in Beijing are also very famous. I will send her some to try first. If she likes it, please write back to let me know.
There are also pastries. I don’t know if they taste good after being mailed. If you think they taste good, please let me know.
If it doesn’t taste good, I won’t send it to you next time. I’ll buy it for Song Jinxiu when she has the chance to go to Beijing.
His father shared his favorite Liubiju pickles, hoping Song Jinxiu would like them.
Between the lines, one can see the family's love for Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu was very happy holding the letter.
"What are you doing?" When Liu Ankang came back, he saw Song Jinxiu with a crazy look on her face.
"Hahaha, these are the letters and packages your future brother-in-law sent me!" Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense. You haven't even started yet. If others hear it, your reputation will be ruined." Liu Ankang frowned in disapproval.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't say this in front of outsiders. What am I afraid of in front of you?" Song Jinxiu said.
"Don't you know what walls have ears?" Liu Ankang rolled his eyes at her and went to cook.
"What a smart little boy!" Song Jinxiu muttered and continued to look through her package.
The skirt that my aunt chose is really tasteful and well-thought-out. After comparing them, I found that it’s just right for me to wear. The preserved fruits are also delicious.
I'll try the pickles while eating later to see if they're delicious. They've mailed them from so far away to share with me, so they must taste great!
Then Song Jinxiu became troubled again. What should she say in reply?
Liu Ankang looked at the frowning man and fell into deep thought. Is he serious this time?
The parents have reported it, so it’s probably true.
Should I prepare my dowry?
Finally, Song Jinxiu collected some local specialties and mailed them over.
After all, the food and supplies in the city are definitely better than here, so don’t worry about the value, just show your thoughtfulness.
Sure enough, when Mr. and Mrs. Xia received the big bag of mountain products, their faces were full of smiles.
Homemade dried vegetables, mushrooms, and various nuts from last year.
There are also a few homemade cured fish and meat, and some preserved radish.
Because they were all stored in the space by Song Jinxiu, they were in good condition when they were taken out.
Although dried vegetables do not weigh much, they are large in size.
So all together it makes a big bag.
Song Jinxiu first thanked everyone for their kindness.
The clothes and shoes my aunt chose are very suitable for me.
The candied fruit pastries were also delicious, but because the transportation took too long, some of the pastries were crushed, so next time, I’d better not send such delicate things.
Wait until you have a chance to go to Beijing and taste it yourself!
Thank you very much for sharing, uncle. The pickles are delicious. I can eat two bowls of rice with them.
Then let them try these mountain products and see if they like any of them.
I will send them more when autumn comes and this year's mountain products are available.
There are also many special snacks here. If you have the chance, you must come and have a look.
I also described to them several of my favorite foods.
"Looking at the delicious food in the letter, I want to go over and have some fun!" Mother Xia said with a smile.
"Do you want to eat delicious food or see your future daughter-in-law?" Father Xia joked.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia's mother hurriedly looked outside. "Luckily, there's no one around. It's not even close to being a thing. Don't ruin the girl's reputation."
"Don't worry, I checked and there's no one there. I'm just saying this in front of you." Father Xia said with a smile.
“I hope it works, this is the first time Xingchen has expressed his admiration for a girl.
If he doesn't look for one soon, I'll worry that he doesn't like girls.
Now it seems that I was worrying too much." Mother Xia said with relief.
"Don't overthink it. You know, our country's aviation force is just starting out, and Xingchen must be very busy.
"We're still in the process of trial and error. You know the cost of trial and error is too high, so we have to proceed step by step!" said Father Xia.
Every time we talk about this, we feel both proud and sad. We are proud that the organization can thrive in such a difficult environment.
The worry is that we are too poor. If the financial situation were a little better, everything wouldn’t be so hard.
The two sides got to know each other through correspondence. Xia Xingchen spent more time in the army, while Xia's mother spent more time at home.
When she goes shopping now, she wants to buy something for Song Jinxiu when she sees it, and she wonders if she will like something when she sees something else. She puts together a package and sends it to Song Jinxiu.
As for the things Xia Xingchen wants to send, just repack them. What's the point of worrying about not having anything to send?
So Song Jinxiu would receive packages from time to time, sometimes from Beijing, sometimes from Shanghai, which made everyone envious.
By the end of the year, everyone had gradually adapted to the era of bills. Although food and drink were now rationed, it was not a problem for the people in the mountains at all.
After all, they have the mountains to rely on, and there are both vegetarian and meat products there. It just depends on whether you have the ability to take them home.
