At the bottom, neatly tied with rubber bands were several national banknotes, a few pieces of clam oil, a bottle of snowflake cream, and three packs of Daqianmen cigarettes.
There was also a new sweater, a scarf and gloves knitted in the same color, two pairs of wool socks and two pairs of thickened cotton insoles.
Each piece was made by his mother bit by bit. He Xiaoyou tried the clothes on himself and found they fit perfectly, which made him feel a little sad.
When he unwrapped the two towels next to him, he discovered that they contained a small alarm clock, a bag of imported chocolate candies, and a sharp knife for self-defense.
Such a generous gift was obviously given by his generous aunt.
The radio he had brought with him was placed on the kang cabinet as a display, but he kept his watch and didn't wear it.
It had just arrived and hadn't figured out how these people behaved, so it was afraid that being too conspicuous might cause trouble.
The only educated youth from Beijing in the dormitory had a watch. Every time he asked for the time, he would raise his wrist and deliberately delay for a while, only telling the time when he had shown off enough.
After asking a few times, no one bothered to pay attention to him. Now that he has an alarm clock, it is much more convenient.
The knife was sharpened. He pulled it out and took a look. It shone coldly like snow.
He didn't try the knife in front of everyone, but laughed it off and said that he brought it with him when he went to the sea, and maybe he could pry down more oysters and abalone.
The others nodded and didn't care, but a strange look flashed in Zhao Meng's eyes, as if he was afraid of something.
He Xiaoyou remembered his expression, shook the package, and about half a pound of milk candy fell out from the corner.
He Xiaoyou smiled knowingly, thinking that Xiaoai might have sent him all the snacks for a month this time. He wondered if she would get greedy when she saw others eating candy.
My eldest brother and sister didn't give anything, but sent twenty dollars along with the package.
His heart felt like it was soaked in warm water because of his family's concern.
This is also the motivation for him to continue working hard here and not give up studying.
If he had any dissatisfaction, he would have glanced at the educated youth who had different expressions on their faces.
He took out a piece of bacon and said that they would have meat tonight. He also took out some chocolate and gave half a piece to each of them, not forgetting the female educated youth.
There is more fish and less pork in this place, so it is difficult to eat it once.
When they heard that there was meat to eat, everyone was naturally excited. Some went to the cellar to get cabbage, and some boiled water to soak vermicelli.
There was also a female comrade who came over specifically to ask him if he had any clothes that needed mending so she could help.
Under the teasing gaze, He Xiaoyou politely declined, left the bustling crowd, slowly packed the package into the box, and sighed softly.
He originally thought that going to the countryside would allow him to stay away from the crowd, but the reality was very different from what he expected.
Nestled in a small youth cadre camp, everyone has his own thoughts. He can still work outside in the summer to kill time, but the winter is really hard to endure.
We can only hope that things will get better as we get to know each other better.
…
At night, He Ruixue was sleeping when she suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling outside, followed by a scream and continuous barking of dogs.
He Xiaoxu, who lived next door, was woken up and started crying.
She woke up in a daze and found that Jiang Yanxu was already getting dressed, so she didn't waste any time and put on a cotton coat and went out.
A black figure was running fast in the yard. Chenchen and Brother Wolf followed behind him and almost bit the corner of his clothes several times.
"Help, Ruixue, it's me!"
The voice sounded like Jiang Mengheng. I turned on the light in the corridor and it was indeed him.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Jiang Yanxu went over and controlled the dog.
Jiang Mengheng slumped on the ground, panting heavily. "Rui Xue, your dogs are too fierce. They bit my butt and wouldn't let go. If I hadn't been wearing thick clothes, they would have bitten my flesh off."
"Who told you to not take the usual route and climb over the wall to get in?"
The door was closed and there were leaves on his body. It was obvious how he got in. No wonder he was bitten by the dog.
"I came here quietly, so I can't let anyone see me."
Jiang Mengheng got up from the ground and quickly explained his purpose.
It turned out that the Jiang family was reported to have colluded with spies, stealing confidential documents and hiding them privately, intending to send them out of the country in three days.
Jiang's father has been detained. He did not admit the false charges and insisted that he was framed and asked the other party to produce evidence first.
Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, the people above planned to search his home. Jiang's father said that the elderly people in his family were old and had poor heart conditions and could not stand being frightened.
Considering Mr. Jiang's identity, they did not dare to go too far and decided to go and notify him tomorrow morning and then issue a search warrant, and everything will follow the formal procedures.
Several of Jiang's father's direct subordinates were relatively conscientious. As soon as Jiang's father was arrested, they immediately passed the news to the Jiang family through Jiang Ying.
The Jiang family secretly conducted a self-inspection and found something wrong. The so-called confidential documents appeared in the gap of Mrs. Jiang's dressing table drawer at some point, and the wax seal on it was intact.
In the deepest part of Jiang's father's locked bookcase, there are many letters in which he communicated with others in English. They are all forged, but their handwriting is very similar to his.
When disaster struck, everyone panicked, except Mr. Jiang who remained calm.
He walked to the window and glanced around. He knew that his house was surrounded and there were people watching him everywhere. He was afraid that he could not take the documents out quietly.
So he pretended to have a heart attack and asked his grandson to go out and buy medicine.
Among the guards were those who had received his favors and did not want to see the old leader killed for no reason.
With his mediation, Jiang Mengheng was released after being repeatedly searched by several people, and then he rushed here without stopping.
"Grandpa asked me to find Jiang Yanxu, saying that only he could solve this problem."
