Chapter 150
Father Cao squinted his eyes and saw the first line of text: "Hello, Uncle Cao, Aunt Cao, and all the elders. I am Lu Qin, Cao Hai's roommate and good friend. I'd like to meet you uncles and aunts..."
Lu Qin's handwriting was so beautiful that Cao's father had no difficulty recognizing the characters.
Lu Qin wrote a lengthy letter, mainly introducing himself and then apologizing for disturbing them. The main reason was that he liked the cakes made by their family so much that he couldn't help but write a letter to express his love.
He also listed in detail the additives he had identified in the dry food.
"Uncle Cao, Aunt Cao, Cao Hai is a very enthusiastic comrade. Everyone in our dormitory likes him very much. The dry food he shared with us at the beginning of the school year was really a surprise. It was even better than the biscuits I had in Shanghai. I had dreams for several days after eating it. In my dreams, I kept saying that the aunt and grandmother who could make such food must be very clever and intelligent. I also want to meet you..."
As Cao's father read out the contents of the letter sentence by sentence, Cao's mother exclaimed, "This was written by our Haizi's roommate, right? Haizi and his roommate get along well. He just said he likes our dry food biscuits."
The child even thanked them specifically for the dry food biscuits.
Father Cao was dizzy because of her shaking, "Yes, yes, yes."
Grandma Cao's teeth were leaking. "If they like it, we can send him some more."
She is old, but not deaf.
"Send it, send it, Haizi also mentioned it in the letter." Cao's father had a pretty good memory.
"This handwriting is quite beautiful." Cao's mother stood on tiptoe and took a look with a smile.
Father Cao looked at her in confusion, shook the letter, and prepared to read it again from the beginning. "Aren't you illiterate?"
Cao's mother glared at her. "It doesn't affect my appreciation of this calligraphy. Where did he praise my cleverness and dexterity?"
Cao's father pointed at the long paragraph with an expressionless face. The paper was translucent, revealing the condition of the paper underneath. The words written by his own son were not as many as those written by this man named Lu Qin.
Lu Qin's action made them really believe that the children were doing well. Otherwise, they would not be good friends who would say so many heartfelt words to praise them.
Afraid that the letter would be lost, since there was a ticket inside, Cao Hai calculated the time and called home.
"Come on, come on, I'll go with you." Lu Qin tucked his clothes in and went downstairs with one hand on his shoulder.
"Sister, I'll bring my roommate to make a phone call."
Cai Mingju smiled and pointed to the house in a good-tempered manner, "Go fight yourself."
Cao Hai glanced at Lu Qin quickly. He had seen others making phone calls when he accidentally passed by before, and the dormitory manager was watching over them, as if she wanted to keep her eyes on the students making calls.
He didn't move, hesitant to go in.
"Let's go." Lu Qin seemed not to notice anything unusual. He put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him in.
"Go ahead and call me. I wrote a letter and it's a good opportunity to chat with my aunt and the others."
Pulling him to the phone, Lu Qin stood about twenty centimeters away from him.
Cao Hai:
So as soon as the Cao family finished reading the letter, they were called away by the team leader.
"Lao Cao, your son is calling, please come over and answer it."
“Hey!”
The brigade's phone was recycled from the county recycling station. It was later repaired and has become a treasure of the brigade. This phone has only been used frequently in the past year. When I say frequently, I mean it is used more than three times a month.
"Hey Haizi, can you hear me?"
"Haizi"
Cao Hai raised the microphone and shouted twice, but when he heard no echo, he took it and looked at it.
The captain quickly reminded him, "Just put it close to your ear."
"Dad, did you receive the tickets I sent back?" The phone rang twice before Cao Hai's voice reached the other end.
"I got it. Is it enough for you to eat? Why did you send the ticket back?" Cao's father raised his voice and a smile appeared on his face.
When Cao Hai heard his father's voice, he forgot about Lu Qin for a moment. "It's enough to eat. We also have subsidies. Besides, the school's meal ticket quota is a bit large. I can't finish the food I get, and I can't use the extra money. You can take it back and ask Mom to buy some meat or something to make up for it..."
Lu Qin pricked up his ears to listen to their greetings. This is how most parents and children talk to each other.
"good."
"Let me say a few words." Cao's mother squeezed in and interrupted, "Haizi, don't starve yourself at school. Oh, and I also received the letter your classmate sent."
The signal might be a little better at this time, and Lu Qin heard this sentence clearly.
At this moment, Cao's mother suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the microphone, "Aunt, it's me, Lu Qin, the one who sent you the letter."
Cao's mother's first reaction was that the child's voice was so beautiful. He shouted so loudly that everyone around could hear it.
Cao Hai took two steps back, holding the microphone and watching Lu Qin chatting with his mother.
"Yes, yes, I think so too. If it were possible, Auntie would definitely be able to make money with this skill."
Someone on the other side suddenly laughed.
Cao Hai wiped his face. Lu Qin had already gone from praising their dry food biscuits to begging them to send more things, and finally politely expressed his gratitude.
"That's it for now, Auntie. Although I'm craving your cakes, please don't overwork yourself, or I'll feel guilty."
"No, no, if you like it I'll send more. That's all for now."
There was a click, and then it became quiet. Father Cao held the microphone and said, "I haven't finished yet."
Cao's mother waved her hand, the smile on her lips curling upwards. "I'll beat him next time."
Lu Qin pointed at the microphone and said, "Auntie is really interesting."
Cao Hai carefully put the microphone back and wiped his face. "Yes."
He had never heard his mother laugh so happily.
The two returned to the dormitory, and Cao Hai was hesitant to speak. "Squad leader, you really like our dry food biscuits, right?"
Lu Qin answered without thinking, "Of course, but I also like my aunt and uncle. They have such good tempers."
Cao Hai actually believed it and said, "I asked my family to send two kilograms, and we'll split it up when the time comes."
"Thank you, Cao. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely thank them in person." Lu Qin patted his shoulder.
He packed up his notes and hung up his backpack. "I'm going to go out and give them the notes. You can eat early and don't have to wait for me."
As the class monitor who was still a worried class monitor, Tan Mingcheng tried teaching little by little. However, the content of the lectures was quite rich, and he could not do without notes.
He had a relaxing time the past few days, but he has been busy again these past two days, which happened to be the weekend.
Lu Qin was in the yard, looking at himself in a mirror, waving it around several times. Kong Yueshui had already finished his selection and was ready to go back to work, but he was still just standing there.
"Lu Qin."
"Ah" Lu Qin put away the mirror, indicating that he didn't know what he was shouting. He lowered his head to look at his clothes, which were newer and neater than before.
Kong Dongdong beside him also changed into a new set of clothes. When he was about to go out, he opened and closed his lips with a smile.
Kong Yue swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said, "Don't cause trouble."
He would work for a few more days to see if he could get a bicycle ticket.
The three words "don't cause trouble" were said a long time ago.
Lu Qin picked up Kong Dongdong and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law."
Kong Dongdong walked out of the door, looking back every few steps.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and Kong Dongdong narrowed his eyes with a look of triumph.
Lu Qin picked up the man and left. He had an appointment with a fellow villager and couldn't be late.
