The next morning, Gao Xiaomo, the new bride, did not go to work.
Liu Xiaoping went there for a few days, but as soon as her brother-in-law climbed onto her kang, she stopped going.
At noon, Yi Xiaoqiu had just returned to the educated youth camp after work when she heard someone calling her name outside the yard.
"Yi Xiaoqiu has a letter for you!"
It’s still the postman.
"Thank you!" Yi Xiaoqiu took the letter and saw that it was from the Yi family, and there was another letter from Ji Shu.
These two letters arrived at the same time; they collided with each other.
The messenger grinned, revealing his eight teeth. "The one from Beijing arrived yesterday, and the one from Wuhan arrived the next morning."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded and smiled at the postman, "Thank you for your hard work, brother!"
The young man's face suddenly turned red. If his skin wasn't so dark, one would definitely be able to see the blush on his face.
He got on his bicycle in a panic and said, "No need to thank me. I'll leave first."
Yi Xiaoqiu watched the postman leave, feeling filled with emotion.
Nowadays, communication is not well developed. If two places are far apart, they may only be able to contact each other once every half a month or even a month. These letters are extremely precious after traveling through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Although the letter was sent to the original owner, it was still touching.
Fortunately she came.
The letter was written by Yi's mother. She started by scolding Yi Xiaoqiu, saying that she shouldn't have sent so many things back. She asked her to take care of herself while she was alone away, saying that there was everything at home and she didn't need to worry about anything.
Inside the envelope were a few cloth coupons and thirty yuan.
Yi Xiaoqiu learned from the original owner's memory that Yi's mother only earned about thirty yuan a month, so this was her monthly salary sent over!
And they send this every month. How much do they love their children?
There are other children in the Yi family!
Logically speaking, since the Yi family loved their children so much, they should not have let their daughter, who had just turned sixteen, go to the countryside. However, the original owner went to the countryside anyway.
The reason why the original owner went to the countryside was very vague in her memory. She seemed to have deliberately forgotten it. Yi Xiaoqiu did not accept this part of the memory.
The letter was sent in a parcel that contained two pairs of nylon gloves and two sesame mooncakes, a specialty of my hometown, wrapped in two pieces of oil paper.
The sesame cakes were crispy and delicious, a circle larger than the plate, and filled with plenty of ingredients. Looking at the two sesame cakes, Yi Xiaoqiu's eyes suddenly turned red.
This is not only a specialty of the original owner's hometown, but also a specialty of Yi Xiaoqiu's hometown.
Unfortunately, she only ate this old-style mooncake when she was a child. Later, the mooncakes she ate in the south were all Cantonese-style.
This childhood taste only exists in her memory.
She thought of her biological father and mother who devoted themselves to their son before she traveled through the book.
My heart feels sour and bitter.
We are both someone's father, so why is there such a big difference?
Before she transmigrated into the book, she was alone in the city. During festivals, her father would only call her to ask for money and never showed any concern for her.
After entering the book, I felt this deep family love from my father whom I had never met before.
Yi Xiaoqiu felt that she was very lucky to have come to this world and met such a good father and mother.
She touched the two mooncakes and thought to herself: From now on you will be my family.
Ji Shu's letter was simple, just a few words, but as usual, it contained some money and bills.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the autumn harvest is just a few days away.
Yi Xiaoqiu prepared some grain and oil, and just like before, used a magnifying glass to send them to the cowshed.
As Yi Xiaoqiu became more and more proficient in using the magnifying glass, she put the things directly into Mr. Chen's room.
Perhaps because the autumn harvest was coming soon and they couldn't take leave for the next month, Shen Ruofei, Song Ying and Su Mianmian took three days off in a row to earn money.
Several people go out early and come back late every day.
It was not until the day before the autumn harvest that they gave Yi Xiaoqiu the key to the old house.
Before the autumn harvest, the company would organize everyone to watch a movie.
The day before the autumn harvest, the farmers and workers had just finished their work when they saw from afar many children holding stools and guarding the threshing ground.
The two projectionists in front were assembling the machine.
The farm workers, who had been somewhat listless after a day's work, suddenly became energetic and started discussing the matter incessantly.
"This movie starts early!"
"What do you mean early? The captain said we'll start the next day. Our team used to start several days in advance! I don't know what's going on this time!"
"What else could it be? Another team got there first!"
"If we start working tomorrow, we'll have to kill a pig!"
"That's a must!"
…
With meat to eat and movies to watch, the autumn harvest didn't seem like such a hard job to everyone.
Everyone hurried home to eat, and before it got dark, many people gathered in the threshing ground.
Everyone looked at the projectionist eagerly.
The two projectionists were very young, and perhaps because they were still unfamiliar with the job, they were a little flustered by the stares they received.
Until it was completely dark, no picture appeared on the screen.
To be honest, the waiting time is a bit boring.
The problem is that there are a lot of mosquitoes and the heat is mixed with the pungent smell of tobacco.
Yi Xiaoqiu wanted to run away and go home, but the others around him didn't feel that way at all. They even thought watching the projectionist fiddling with the machine was something interesting.
Shen Ruofei was getting a little impatient waiting, so she pulled Yi Xiaoqiu and Song Ying to the projector and squatted there to watch the projectionist's movements.
"Hey, don't get too close to the machine, be careful not to break it." The young projectionist raised his head in the midst of his busy schedule.
When he looked up, he was stunned and his face turned hot. He no longer remembered to ask them to leave.
The little projectionist had a baby face and was not very old. It was probably the first time that he was stared at by so many pretty girls. His face was all red, and his shy and helpless look was very funny.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Another square-faced projectionist patted the baby-faced one.
"Ah? I'm fine." The baby-faced boy touched his head embarrassedly.
He doesn't look like he's okay.
I raised my head and followed his gaze, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Ahem... Comrades, please don't touch the machine."
Shen Ruofei blinked her eyes, "Don't worry, we'll just watch and not do anything."
"That's okay..." The projectionist smiled innocently.
Yi Xiaoqiu became even more panicked when he noticed that the two men's movements were visible to the naked eye.
The two projectionists blushed and didn't dare to look over here.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought the two of them looked very funny.
But it is understandable. The female educated youth are all here, and their looks are impeccable. To be honest, no one would feel comfortable being stared at like this by a few beauties.
At this time, the people behind started to urge.
"Projectionist, how long will it take for the movie to start?"
"If we keep waiting, it will be midnight!"
"These two projectionists look unfamiliar to me. Could they be new and unskilled?"
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at his watch and it was almost eight o'clock.
If they continue to watch like this, they might not be able to watch the movie tonight.
"Let's go to the back!" Yi Xiaoqiu suggested.
Shen Ruofei was the first to respond, but what she said was not what she meant.
"Okay! When I first came here, I saw Wang Laogen and Zhang Xiaoqi arguing with each other. Should we go take a look?"
Yi Xiaoqiu was speechless for a while. She just wanted to go out and get some fresh air, but she didn't want to catch the adulterer.
Song Ying was very interested in this antique. She shook her head and did not move.
Not to mention Su Mianmian, it was the first time for a young lady to ride in a sedan chair while watching a movie. It was so strange that she was reluctant to leave.
Zhao Shuhong and Lu Rongrong were so engrossed in watching that they could not move their legs.
In the end, only Shen Ruofei and Yi Xiaoqiu went for a stroll.
