Guan Xingyao continued on the phone: "Grandma, if it weren't for you and my grandfather, and if my aunt wasn't the only daughter, I would have thought she was your biological daughter."
The latter part of his words may have been a joke, but it was actually what he was thinking.
Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "Who is this middle-aged lady you are talking about? I've been there for so long, how come I haven't seen her before?"
Who on earth looks like his wife? After all, their biological daughter doesn't look like them.
"He and two other male comrades lived in a somewhat old house next to Comrade Xu. They were probably personnel sent down from that brigade."
"Decentralized personnel?"
Old Mrs. Guan immediately thought of Fang Suyun. She had been in Qingping Bay for so long and had never had the chance to take a close look at Fang Suyun's appearance. She never expected that she was destined to be with their family.
"Xingyao, when will you return to the army? I was thinking of waiting until your grandfather has time to go over there and see those two girls. Hey, I've seen the aunt you mentioned before, but I never got a close look. If I go back, I'll have to take a closer look. Oh, and your grandfather should go too. I'll compare them and see how much they look alike."
"I'm going to die in three or four days, and I may not meet you anymore." He sighed heavily and wanted to talk about Lin Ruyan, but considering the phone bill and other reasons, he didn't say it in the end.
"Grandma, if it's nothing important, I'll hang up now. I'll write to you later."
"Tutut, hang up now."
He had nothing to do anyway, and seemed to no longer care whether Lin Ruyan was tired from work. He asked the post office staff for paper and pen, and leaned over the counter to write a letter home.
Afterwards, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food. After buying the food, she saw an umbrella on the counter and wanted to buy one for Xu Nuannuan.
As for why he wanted to buy an umbrella, it was probably because he wanted to protect himself from the wind and rain.
He felt very strange. When he saw the umbrella, the first thing he thought of was not to buy it for Lin Ruyan, but to buy it for Xu Nuannuan.
He finally took two, one for Lin Ruyan and one for Xu Xu Nuannuan.
At noon, when she went to return the car to Xu Nuannuan, she gave her the umbrella.
Xu Nuannuan was surprised, "Why did you buy this for me?"
Guan Xingyao explained, "I've been a bit bothering you these past two days. The food you make is so delicious, if I buy you some snacks or something, it might not be as good as what you make. So I bought this for you, I hope you don't mind."
Xu Nuannuan did not refuse, but accepted it with pleasure.
"Thank you."
Guan Xingyao curled his lips and smiled at her. What was going on? He wanted to touch the top of the girl's head.
Oh, no, this is not his sister, he can't do this.
He said something to Xu Nuannuan and left.
At noon, Liu Cuiying received the letter delivered by the postman.
Fang Suyun took a look at it, and Liu Cuiying quickly put the letter away.
Fang Suyun finally read the letter. It was sent from Tianjin. She vaguely saw the sender's name, a name she didn't know at first sight. She thought it might be the partner Liu Cuiying had found.
"Mom, it's your husband who asked you to go back, right? Since he called you, you should pack up and go."
"I don't know yet. Let me read the letter first."
Liu Cuiying deliberately opened the letter while going to the toilet. Although a man's name was written on the envelope, the letter inside was written by Guan Yurong.
What they are afraid of is that other people will see and know their relationship.
Guan Yurong said in the letter that she had gotten some medicine that day and wanted to mail it to the post office, but she saw someone mailing contraband in the post office and was caught on the spot by the post office staff.
She learned from the post office staff that everyone who mailed anything in the post office had to be checked by the staff. Poisons, such as gasoline, and some other dangerous items were prohibited from being mailed. If contraband was found, the person would be arrested.
In a moment of desperation, she hid the poison and gave up the idea of mailing it.
Tell Liu Cuiying to go to the black market in the city to buy a pack.
After reading it, Liu Cuiying quickly crumpled the letter into a ball, thought about it, unfolded it again, wiped her butt with it, and threw it into the cesspool.
Guan Yurong asked her to go to the black market here to get the medicine herself, which made her feel troubled.
First, I'm not familiar with the people and the place, and second, Heilongjiang is a dangerous place, and I'm afraid of being caught.
After some thought, she finally decided to take the risk.
At this time, Mr. Guan in Beijing was finally not so busy, and said to Mrs. Guan:
"Now that we have time, let's go to Qingping Bay to see those two children."
Old Mrs. Guan was naturally very happy and immediately became energetic.
"Okay, old man, let's do it tomorrow."
Old Master Guan smiled and said angrily, "Look how anxious you are, but I also want to go early."
"Xingyao, he called me the other day and said he was there too. He said he saw a middle-aged woman there who looked a lot like you. I've seen that girl before, but I didn't get a clear look at her. Let's go check it out when we get back to see how much she looks like you."
"Really? Looks like me? Then I'll have to take a closer look. Apart from your son, I've never seen anyone who looks like me."
Guan Yurong came to the living room and heard them discussing going to Qingping Bay. She also heard them say that there was a middle-aged woman who looked like Grandpa Guan in the Qingping Bay Brigade. She was immediately scared to death.
The middle-aged woman they were talking about should be Fang Suyun. Damn it, she had been in Qingping Bay for so long, but she didn't even get a clear look at Fang Suyun's appearance.
She was already worried when Mrs. Guan went to Qingping Bay. If Mr. Guan also went, the situation would be bad if they both met Fang Suyun. They might even recognize each other directly.
what to do?
"Mom and Dad, why are you going there? You're old and can't stand the hardship. Besides, my mom just went there, why does she want to go again?"
"Your mother has been there, but I haven't. My baby, my granddaughter is there, I'm worried and want to go see her," said Grandpa Guan.
Guan Yurong felt uneasy and subconsciously thought that the granddaughter Grandpa Guan was talking about was Xu Nuannuan, not Lin Ruyan.
