"Hey, I'm not rushing here. Sister, hurry home with me. We've received a big package from Brother Gao and Brother Cui, and Grandpa wants you to go over and help take a look at the letter."
Chen Shengli can recognize words, but not many. If the words are written neatly, he can recognize more, but if the strokes are slightly connected, he can't recognize them.
"Oh, then let's go." It's been almost a month since those two left, hasn't it? Lately, I've been so busy with the secret room that my days have become blurry.
"Sister, you didn't see it. Brother Gao and Brother Cui mailed a huge package with a lot of books in it. Grandpa said those books should be for you."
After all, he can't read, and his grandfather can't read many words either, so the two of them won't be able to understand it even if they are given it.
"Oh, where is my gift?" Chen Ye's eyes lit up when she heard there were so many books. She was thinking about going to the city when she had time and getting some more books to read.
"Ye Zi, come in and read the letter to Grandpa."
Cheng Shengli waved to Chen Ye quickly when he saw him. Why didn't this brat write the letter stroke by stroke? He couldn't understand what he was writing even by guessing.
As soon as Chen Ye took the letter, she knew why her grandfather asked her to come and read it. The handwriting was really beautiful, with iron-like strokes and silver-like hooks, but the strokes were relatively connected. For a grandfather who joined the army and learned a few words from his comrades, it was a bit beyond the scope.
Hello, Grandpa Chen:
I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had a mission and just got back. I'm not sure how your health is, but I sent you some nutritional supplements. I hope you take good care of yourself.
Grandpa really likes the things you brought him. I wonder if he has written to you..."
"I've sent some books along with the package. I've read them before, and I hope Ye Zi won't mind because they're old. I also hope Ye Zi can study hard and contribute to the motherland in the future.
Best regards, Gao Yuan, Cui Zheng."
Chen Ye read the contents of the letter slowly and clearly: "That's all. Do you want to reply?"
What remains is the list of items in the package. At this time, things often get lost when mailed through the post office, and you have no place to complain.
Therefore, the contents of the package will be written in the letter so that the recipient knows what has been mailed and can have a clear idea of what is going on.
After Gao Yuan and Cui Zheng left, Shuanzhu arranged to write a letter to the two of them, and Chen Ye wrote it on her behalf. She asked why she had not received a reply and she always felt that the two of them would not fool children.
I didn't expect that the two of them would go out on a mission right after they returned. Soldiers are really great and hard-working.
"Wait a minute. I'll pack some things and then write back. You can take these books back with you. And take half of the malted milk and the powdered milk. I don't like drinking these things."
"No, you can keep it for yourself and drink it with Shuanzhu. Ershuang also brought me a bag last time he came. Do you want me to help you organize it?"
"No, I can do it myself. You clean it up and I'll have to find it when I need it."
Chen Ye nodded. She liked to keep her own things in order, and when others came to use them, they always couldn't find the place for them.
"By the way, there seems to be some clue about your inquiry about the sheep. I went to the village today, and Accountant Li's second daughter-in-law told you to go see her when you have time."
"Really? I thought it was over."
It was Shuanzhu who said last time that Hu Zi's family raised ewes and could drink goat milk, so Chen Ye asked about it. The regulations neither said that they could nor could they, and as long as they kept an eye on the sheep and didn't get reported, there would be no problem.
It was quiet here and few people came here. As long as she didn't show off her sheep around the village, there wouldn't be any problem. So she went to find Hu Zi's mother, Aunt Chuncao, to ask about the ewe.
In their village, apart from Aunt Chuncao's family, which raised a ewe, no other family raised sheep. It had been so long, and they thought the ewe could never be found. Unexpectedly, she had almost forgotten about it, but she was found.
"Then I'll go over and take a look now."
"Go quickly. I'll have Shuanzhu put these books in the basket for you. Don't forget to pick them up when you come back."
"I know," Chen Ye said as he almost ran out the door.
Chen Shengli shook his head. This girl was always in a hurry to do anything. He glanced at his grandson who was anxious to follow him and said, "Okay, you can chase your sister away too. I'll take care of this."
Shuanzhu really wanted to follow his sister to see the lamb, but when he saw the things on the ground, he thought of his grandfather's leg and said, "No, I'll be able to see it when my sister brings it back. Grandpa, don't move, I'll clean it up here."
"My sister asked me to bring the sheep back and raise them. The three of us will drink goat milk every day to nourish our bodies, and then we can eat mutton in winter."
He had only eaten mutton once in his life, when he went to the county town with his grandfather to visit his grandfather's old friend. They had hotpot, which was really delicious!
"You greedy cat, you have to feed yourself well. If you feed yourself too thin, you won't be able to eat meat." After asking Ye Zi how much she spent on the ewe, he would make up for it.
The girl was thoughtful. After Ye Zi came to live next door, the food for both of them had improved a lot. As long as he and Shuan Zhu were not starving to death, it would be fine.
"I will definitely raise them well. When the time comes, the sheep will be fat and we can eat more meat." That concerns how much meat he eats. How could he not raise them well?
"Master, do you think my sister can bring back the lamb?"
Chen Shengli shook his head: "I don't know. It's okay. I can handle these little things. You can go find your sister. I can help her lead the sheep."
We have to pack up the things quickly. If someone comes over and sees the food all over the floor, something might happen.
It's all because of poverty.
Shuanzhu glanced at the books that had been put into the basket. There weren't many left on the ground. He felt itchy inside: "So, should I really go there?"
Chen Shengli was so amused by Shuanzhu that he said, "Hurry up, little brat, or you won't be able to catch up with your sister."
Shuanzhu agreed and disappeared in an instant. Chen Shengli scolded him with a smile. He hoped that Shuanzhu and Ye Zi would have a good relationship. When he passed away, the two siblings would support each other and live together, which would be better than fighting alone.
Chen Ye walked quickly to Accountant Li's house: "Grandma, is my Aunt Chuncao at home?" Standing at the door was Accountant Li's wife.
"Hey, Ye Zi is here. Your Aunt Chun Cao is busy in the back garden. Go find her yourself."
"Hey, grandma, I'll go in first."
"Go quickly, go quickly." The old lady knew that Ye Zi came to ask about the sheep. She was worried all day long because she raised sheep at home. If there were more people raising sheep, she wouldn't be so nervous.
"Aunt Chuncao, are you busy?" Accountant Li's backyard is no smaller than his own. The whole family depends on this backyard for vegetables.
