Alas, I can only blame myself for being extravagant and wanting to buy anything “new” I see and stockpile it at home.
Still five thousand short.
July is over and August is coming soon.
After such an ignominious incident, Xiao Jiahua could no longer attend the regular meetings of the Commerce Bureau.
She couldn't even go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Several presidents complained about her, misunderstanding that she deliberately sent inferior products for the sake of petty profits.
No one would believe her if the liar was not caught.
On Army Day, everyone went to participate in the celebration, and Xiao Jiahua stayed alone in the deserted office.
Playing with the small note in her hand, she felt a little lost and frustrated.
On the other hand, tomorrow is the 2nd, and Xiao Jiahua must finish the work at hand before he can take leave to go home and answer Bai Keyan’s call.
After being busy for a long time, she pressed the pause button and suddenly missed her gentle and considerate husband and the infinitely tolerant tree hole.
She hadn't written him a proper letter for two months since she came to the county town.
Strangely, at noon, the postman delivered a mysterious remittance slip.
The remittance slip was sent from Shanghai, and the amount was huge, a full five thousand taels.
Xiao Jiahua checked it three times before she was sure that the money was really sent to her and not someone else's mistake.
The problem is that according to Laoxiao’s household registration book, there is not a single city dweller for three generations, let alone relatives in big cities like Shanghai.
Who sent it? This is more than just pie in the sky, it's a giant pie falling from the sky.
One dares to send it, but the other dares not to take it or use it.
Just as I was wondering, the phone in the office suddenly rang.
Xiao Jiahua picked up the phone listlessly, sniffing his sore nose, "Hello, how are you——"
"Xiaoxiao, it's me."
Bai Keyan's voice came out impatiently.
·
On the phone, Bai Keyan could tell that Xiao Jiahua was depressed, and asked with concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you having trouble in life or work?"
He was really a worm in her stomach.
Xiao Jiahua felt a lump in his throat and wanted to talk to him about how he had encountered a scammer in his company.
Since they only had a few minutes to talk, it wasn't worth wasting it on a villain. "It's okay. I'm fine here."
Xiao Jiahua asked again: "By the way, didn't you say you would call tomorrow? Today is a holiday, and you should be celebrating?"
Bai Keyan: "Well, there is a performance at the base, and I don't have work in the afternoon, so I called in advance to try my luck."
"But how do you know the phone number of the supply and marketing cooperative?" Xiao Jiahua has been so busy recently that he even forgot to write to tell him that he has changed jobs.
Bai Keyan explained: "Before Auntie retired, she worked for the Shanghai Trade Union. It's not difficult to find out."
"Your aunt? ... From Shanghai?"
Xiao Jiahua captures key words.
"I just received a remittance from Shanghai, 5,000 yuan. Could it be from her?"
Bai Keyan: "Who is the remitter?"
Xiao Jiahua: "There is no specific name, it is signed by Ms. Shen."
"Shen is the right surname." Bai Keyan said with a smile, "It's Auntie's idea."
"It turned out to be Auntie." The mystery was finally solved, and Xiao Jiahua sighed, "Bai Keyan, are there any other remarkable relatives in your family that I don't know about?"
Bai Keyan explained: "Only my uncle and aunt live with my father. My uncle works in the Northwest Military Region, and my aunt is not in good health. She did not follow the army and has been recuperating in Shanghai."
Xiao Jiahua was even more confused. "But why did she send me money? It's so much, I don't dare to accept it."
