"Oh, Postman Zhao is here! Come sit down and rest for a while, have some water. It must be hard work delivering mail to us from so far away."
"Haha, Comrade Zhao is here! That's great! My Cui Cui has been talking about you lately. Come, come, come to my house and rest for a while."
"You old hag, how dare you let Comrade Zhao sit at your house? Isn't that slandering someone's reputation? My Xiaoyun hasn't even said anything yet, when did it become your Cuicui's turn?"
Upon seeing the handsome young postman, he was quickly surrounded by the village aunties. Their enthusiasm reminded her of the brothel madams in the TV dramas she had watched in her past life, waving their handkerchiefs to attract customers.
Thinking of this, Luo Zixi couldn't help but laugh. She had just been having a disagreement with everyone, but she didn't expect to be amused by this scene.
Her smile immediately stunned many of the previously unconvinced young people.
The mailman's eyes lit up as well.
Unexpectedly, among the new educated youth this year, there is such a pretty girl.
No wonder Old Bai couldn't forget this girl. Thinking of the letters Old Bai sent and that big package, you can tell that Old Bai valued this girl very much.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qichen couldn't help but smile slightly. Seeing his smile, the group of middle-aged women assumed he was willing to come to their homes and became even more enthusiastic in their hospitality.
Zhao Qichen felt a headache coming on and gave a good explanation, saying that he was very busy with work today and would visit another day.
Then, he squeezed through the crowd of middle-aged women and delivered the letter to Luo Zixi, along with a huge package on his bicycle.
It looked like it could crush his bicycle. He was such a thin young man; I don't know how he managed to ride his bike and deliver such a large package.
"Hello, you must be Luo Zhiqing? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Zhao Qichen, the town's postman, and also Lao Bai's friend."
"This time, it's a letter and package that Lao Bai sent to you. He specifically asked me to keep these things safe and to personally deliver them to you."
"Take a good look at this package and see if there are any problems. It's quite heavy, shall I deliver it to your home?"
Luo Zixi waved her hand and said with a smile:
"No need, I can manage on my own. And there's no need to check; I trust the postman's professionalism. You seem quite busy, so go ahead and do your own thing."
Zhao Qichen was momentarily stunned by Luo Zixi's decisive rejection.
Normally, the young women and wives in the village would love for him to do more work, and sometimes they would practically drag him to their homes to stay a little longer.
He knew exactly what these people were thinking. A postman was one of the eight most sought-after jobs in this day and age, and countless girls were eyeing him, wanting to marry him.
But he wasn't originally from here, and he came here on a mission. In the end, he would have to leave; he couldn't stay here forever.
Therefore, he never thought he would have any deep interaction with the people here.
However, the moment he saw Luo Zixi, he felt a strong sense of curiosity.
Just now, when he delivered the letter, he saw a group of people gathered here to watch, and he also watched the commotion from afar.
I saw a pretty young woman skillfully picking corn. Her movements were fluid and effortless, as if she didn't need any strength at all, and she could pick off each ear of corn perfectly.
They did it both well and quickly.
Don't be fooled by how simple this action seems; just look at how hard others struggle to husk corn, and you'll know how difficult it is to do this.
It seems this girl has real skills!
Zhao Qichen was knowledgeable; he immediately understood the oddities and key points. This young educated youth girl was no ordinary person!
Moreover, he and Lao Bai had been arguing since they were young, and this girl was clearly Lao Bai's favorite, so he immediately had some ideas.
Now that Luo Zixi had rejected him so directly, it only fueled his curiosity even more.
However, he understood that he shouldn't provoke them too much, otherwise it would only upset them.
"Haha, Luo Zhiqing is really quick-witted and efficient. Alright, the things have been delivered and given to you. I'll go deliver the letter now."
"Old Bai is really something, such a big package, doesn't he even consider whether a little girl like you can handle it?"
Luo Zixi smiled:
"Old Bai knows I'm strong, so I can handle any package, no matter how big it is."
Hearing Luo Zixi say this, Zhao Qichen was stunned for a moment.
He was already captivated by Luo Zixi's small display of strength and wanted to see just how powerful she really was.
He struggled to deliver such a large package by bicycle; how could this delicate-looking girl be as strong as him?
The next second, Zhao Qichen was dumbfounded.
With one hand, Luo Zixi easily picked up the large package, slung it over her shoulder, and walked away briskly, oblivious to everyone around her.
From a distance, enclosed by a large circle, two straight and slender legs moved swiftly without swaying.
The scene was incredibly bizarre, yet also tinged with a hint of absurdity.
This is unbelievable...
Seeing Zhao Qichen chatting and laughing with Luo Zixi, many girls nearby felt a little jealous. Could it be that even this handsome postman had been attracted by Luo Zixi?
What hope do they have then?
Many girls quickly surrounded Zhao Qichen and started chattering.
Surprisingly, Su Wanwan was among them, speaking to Zhao Qichen in a sweet, coquettish voice:
"Oh my, this Luo Zhiqing is amazing! She's incredibly strong! And she's upright and honest. All those idle people who spoke ill of her got a beating from her. After those beatings, even the thugs and bullies around here are afraid of her."
On the surface, Su Wanwan was praising Luo Zixi, but in reality, she was telling Zhao Qichen that Luo Zixi was a pretty girl, but not someone to mess with, unlike her gentle nature.
Anyone who actually marries Luo Zixi can expect to suffer. She might beat someone up whenever she's in a bad mood; who could stand that kind of life?
As a result, Su Wanwan discovered that after she said those words, Zhao Qichen was not afraid at all; instead, his eyes shone even brighter.
The group of young women and older women nearby couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Good heavens, did Postman Zhao actually like this kind of thing? Did he enjoy being thoroughly abused by his wife?
If they had known this would happen, they would have been more assertive and taken him home first.
Before the group of aunties and girls could react, Zhao Qichen suddenly turned around, mounted his bicycle, and rode away.
"Dear aunties, sisters, and older sisters, I still have a lot of letters to deliver, so I can't waste any more time. Let's talk later!"
After Zhao Qichen finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
After getting away from Crescent Moon Mountain, Zhao Qichen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group of aunts and girls behind him had not chased after him.
At the same time, he also flashed a dazzling smile:
"Great job, Lao Bai, thank you for letting me discover this gem of a girl too!"
