"Dad, Mom, why did you buy so many things?"
Li Lin opened the door and walked out. She was shocked when she saw the things in the living room. Then she called her parents without any psychological burden.
"Is it a lot? I still think it's not enough." Zhao Chunmei heard her daughter's words and looked at the things and said
"Mom, my arms and legs are so small. How can I carry so many things?" Li Lin stretched out her fair and slender arms and asked.
"My daughter, you are right. This is indeed too much." Li Donghai nodded and said, "How about this, my daughter, you take less first, and I will mail the rest to you. It's summer now anyway, and you don't need these thick clothes and quilts."
"Then let's do this. Take some useful things with you when you leave. Your father and I will mail the rest to you. By the time you get to Northeast China, these things will have almost arrived."
Zhao Chunmei thought her husband's suggestion was good, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll pack up and leave tomorrow morning, right?" Li Lin saw that the two looked unhappy after she said this, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll come back as long as I have time in the future."
"It's not as simple as you say." Zhao Chunmei looked at her silly daughter and was really worried that she would be bullied in the countryside.
"Yes, my daughter, it's not as simple as you say. Look at the daughter of Mr. Liu in the building next door. She has been in the countryside for a year. Not to mention coming back, she doesn't even receive a letter from him. It's heartbreaking to think about it." Li Donghai echoed his wife's words.
"Oh, I'm a man of my words. I will definitely come back when I have the chance. Even if I can't, I will write to you as soon as I have time." Li Lin hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you and my dad must take good care of yourselves at home, otherwise I would rather make mistakes and come back, understand?"
"I know. Don't worry about us anymore. Think about how you are going to live in the countryside." Zhao Chunmei's eyes turned red when she thought about her pampered daughter going to the countryside to suffer.
"Okay, okay, if you keep doing this, your daughter will laugh at you." When Li Donghai saw his wife was about to cry, he hurriedly pulled her back to the house to comfort her.
Li Lin looked at their backs with envy, then turned back to the house and started packing.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon.
This morning, Zhao Chunmei used all the meat coupons she had saved for the entire month to buy pork.
I'm now chopping meat in the kitchen, preparing to make dumplings for my daughter in the evening.
In the evening, the family had a meal of cabbage and meat dumplings, with mixed feelings for each of them.
After dinner, Zhao Chunmei cleaned up and went to her daughter's room. With her skillful hands, she packed a backpack and two bundles of things for her daughter.
Li Lin saw her mother packing so many things and wanted to pack more for her, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mom, these things are enough. Didn't you tell my dad that you would mail them to me when the time comes?"
"Yes, you see, I forgot about this." Zhao Chunmei heard her daughter's words and sighed, "Then Mom will pack these things for you. Go to bed early, because you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Well, Mom, you should go to bed early too." Li Lin didn't know how to comfort her mother, so she thought about writing letters home more frequently in the future to make them feel at ease.
"By the way, Linlin, this is the money your father and I prepared for you, keep it safe." When Zhao Chunmei was about to leave, she suddenly remembered the money she and her husband had prepared for their daughter, but hadn't given it to her yet.
He turned around, took out a handkerchief wrapped in a white silk flower from his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Put the money and notes in several places, don't lose it."
