Suburban, apartment buildings for rent.

"Hahahaha!"

The landlord's aunt is sitting in a rocking chair, watching variety shows while stuffing popcorn into her mouth, leaning forward and closing happily from time to time.

At that moment, a figure flashed from the window of the administrator's room.

"Stop, what are you doing?" she asked.

"Postman, may I ask...... Jiang Chanji lives here and doesn't have an international letter from him. The little guy in the postal uniform asked.

With the lesson learned from the last time, the landlord's aunt had an extra mind, "That person doesn't live here anymore." ”

The postal boy looked embarrassed, "Then do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know. ”

As soon as the landlord's aunt said this, the postal brother's brows furrowed even deeper, if this kind of international letter is not checked, the process of returning the letter is very troublesome.

"Do you know if he's on the phone?" the little brother asked again.

"I don't know. ”

The aunt replied while also observing the postal brother, his clothes, the employee ID card on his chest, the bag diagonally on his back, the habitual action of sorting out the bag, and the skin on his face and neck that often ran around in the wind and sun, none of which looked like a disguise.

But even if it's not a disguise, it may leak like the last courier brother.

The postal guy shook his head helplessly and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, although I don't know the address and phone number of the man, but when he moved out, he mentioned that he used to fill in the courier address here, so he may come back from time to time to pick up the courier, let me sign for it. ”

After all, the landlord's aunt is old and spicy, and her rhetoric is not leaky.

It is normal for things like couriers and letters to be collected by the concierge and security guards.

The postal guy breathed a sigh of relief, took out a letter and handed it to her, "Then please sign it on your behalf." ”

The landlord's aunt swiped twice and signed a name that she didn't even recognize.

She took the letter and looked at it, and the recipient's name and address were written in pinyin.

......

When Jiang Chanji entered the apartment, he was stopped by the landlord's aunt.

"Wait, there's a letter from you. ”

Jiang Chanji's heart tightened, no one knew that he lived here, and no one would send him letters and things, except for the last time his parents didn't know how to get the package that his address sent him.

Is it again this time......

He was about to pick it up, but the landlady withdrew the letter again, "I ask you, why didn't you come home last night?"

"Uh...... Because the social practice courses arranged by the school ......," he replied.

The landlord's aunt snorted, she had already called the reception of Momiji Academy in the morning and got the same answer.

"Next time I have something to say in advance, otherwise you don't come back in the middle of the night, how do I know if I should keep the door for you? If I lock the door, and you come back in the middle of the night, I will get up and open the door for you on a cold day!"

Jiang Chanji's mind was all on the letter, and he apologized resignedly.

Yesterday, the incident happened suddenly, he and Chen Yiyi left school during the day, and they both had no mobile phones, so there was no way to notify others.

The landlady then handed him the letter.

He ran upstairs with the letter in his hand, unlocked it and entered his room, then locked the door behind him and examined it excitedly.

In these years, there are very few people still writing letters.

The envelope was stamped with several airmark postmarks, both Chinese and foreign.

The sender was indeed the parents, and the names were written in pinyin, and their names were reversed, with the father's surname followed by the mother's name, and the mother's surname followed by the parents' name, apparently to conceal it.

Seeing these details, he had a hunch that the content of the letter this time might not be as unclear as the last time.

He tore open the envelope along the edges, poured out a letter, and looked inside the envelope again to make sure there was nothing else.

"Machine:"

The beginning of the letter was the same as the last time.

"We don't know if it's you who opened this letter, we hope it is, but it means that you also received the same package we sent you last time...... So we hope you didn't receive this letter and that package. ”

"If it's you who opened the letter, be sure to read this sentence carefully - throw away the package from last time, and never drink that bottle! We sincerely hope that it is not too late......

Jiang Chanji: "......"

Too late.

"We hope you didn't drink it, and we hope you noticed something suspicious and threw the bottle away. ”

"We are sorry for you, but we must believe that everything that has happened during this time has not been our intention......"

"You must be confused when you see this, so let's start with the beginning. ”

"When you hear that we're addicted to gambling, that we're in debt, that we're running away, you're incredulous, and we don't believe we're doing that...... While we did it, we won't deny it, but ...... Not by our intent. ”

Jiang Chanji wanted to believe this, because in his impression, his parents didn't look like people who would poke out such a basket.

They are very ordinary, not great parents, they will scold him when he makes mistakes, and even beat him when he is angry, but to say that they will gamble and gamble to the point of bankruptcy...... He still doesn't understand it to this day.

"Machine, no matter how strange it may seem to you, be sure to keep reading. ”

Then, in the letter, the parents told a story that was truly unbelievable.

His parents used to be teachers, one taught art and the other taught music, met and fell in love with school, and finally entered the palace of marriage and gave birth to him.

After he was born, the family's expenses increased, and the salary of ordinary teachers was a little tight, after all, they were not the kind of cultural teachers who could secretly open cram schools outside to earn extra money.

Hiring a nanny to take care of him as a young man is another expense, and hiring a nanny is always not as safe as watching the children himself.

So, after discussing with the couple, they decided to resign from the school and set up their own interest training classes for children, one teaching art plus sculpture, and the other teaching music and dance, so that the schedule is more free, so that it is convenient to take care of their son, and they can even take their son to class.

When the couple used to be teachers in school, they had accumulated some contacts, so the interest classes were opened quite smoothly, and they soon got on the right track, although they didn't earn much money, but they had no problem maintaining a life above the average, and they had more free time at their disposal than office workers, and the life of a family of three was simple and ordinary.

Both husband and wife have good artistic talents, and more than one has commented that their paintings and playing are very spiritual, but talent and spirituality do not mean that they can be famous and make a lot of money.

Many famous artists were born all their lives, and their value soared after their deaths.

So his parents have always been ordinary people who are not famous.
