"Mom! My dad is back! Come and see, there's a huge package!"
It took nearly a week for the letter and wedding candy sent by the young couple to finally reach the old couple.
"Let me see."
When Wu Xiaoying heard Shuangxi's shout, she came out of the house with a smile and helped Yan Mancang move the big package into the house.
"What did you send? Why is it so big?"
Yan Mancang laughed and said, "How would I know? Just bring the knife over here and take it apart and you'll know."
Shuangxi jumped and danced around the package, "It must be delicious! My brother and sister Nuannuan love me the most!"
Wu Xiaoying handed over the knife and patted Shuangxi on the head with a smile, "You have to call me sister-in-law from now on."
Shuangxi nodded, "Yes, I almost forgot, Mom, when will sister-in-law come back? I miss her so much!"
"Your brother should be back when he's on vacation."
"So when is my brother going to take his vacation?"
"It depends on the arrangements of the army. Look at what your brother and sister-in-law have sent."
She couldn't answer this question, so when she saw Yan Mancang opening the package, she quickly changed the subject.
Shuangxi was instantly attracted by the candies in the package and forgot what he had just said.
"Wow! So much candy! And cookies too!"
In addition to the letter and wedding candies, Yan Fangming also bought a lot of food and sent them over. He felt guilty for not being able to be with his parents and sister all year round, so he could only try to compensate them in other ways.
"This letter is for Gu Zhiqing and the others."
Wu Xiaoying saw two letters inside and opened the one for them.
"Nuan Nuan said that she got married in the army cafeteria on the third day after she arrived. The house the army allocated was also very good, with three large tiled houses and a small courtyard. They are living well there, so we can rest assured.
The smaller amount of wedding candy is for the educated youths, and the larger amount can be shared with our neighbors. These two kids are really thoughtful. "
Although the two of them didn't hold a wedding banquet at home, there was indeed a happy event in the family, and it was reasonable to send some wedding candies to good neighbors and relatives.
Yan Mancang smiled and nodded, "Then do as they say. You can consider delivering some to each household later."
There was a total of one and a half pounds of candy. The educated youth ordered half a pound, and one pound was kept at home. After that, each family was given a small handful. But candy was a good thing in those days, and people usually didn't want to buy it. So this small handful was enough to satisfy the people in their family.
"Don't feed them!"
When Shuangxi heard that the candies had to be shared out, she immediately became unhappy, and her little mouth was pouted so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on it.
Wu Xiaoying scolded with a smile, "You kid, this is your brother and sister-in-law's wedding candy, you should share the wedding candy with others."
"Then give them to me, and I'll have nothing left!"
"Of course you haven't finished the ones your sister-in-law gave you. If you keep a little bit of candy here, it will be enough for you to eat until the New Year. Have you forgotten what your sister-in-law said? If you eat too much candy, your little dog teeth will be infected with worms. Then you will be in so much pain that you won't be able to eat a piece of candy!"
"I'm not Puppy Teeth!"
Shuangxi angrily nudged Wu Xiaoying's belly with his head.
Wu Xiaoying hugged her small body and laughed, "Okay, it's not puppy teeth. Just listen to me and I'll buy you more if you run out of them, okay?"
"snort!"
The little girl snorted and kept silent. She agreed reluctantly, just like her father.
Wu Xiaoying coaxed her to eat some biscuits and then packed the letter and candies for the educated youth and sent them over.
"This is the wedding candy that Nuannuan sent to you, so that everyone can share in the joy."
"Thank you, auntie!"
When Gu Wenshu and the other two read the letter and learned that Xiang Nuan had successfully married and had sent them wedding candy, they were very happy for her.
Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Nuannuan is so thoughtful that she still remembered to send us wedding candy."
Gu Wenshu smiled, put the letter away and said, "Let's give some of this candy to the male educated youth so that they can also share in the good fortune."
Xiang Nuan didn't specifically mention giving some candies to the male educated youth in the letter, but with so much candy, they certainly couldn't enjoy it all by themselves. Wedding candies should be shared by everyone.
