Chapter 83: Help with the letter
A year later, Ning Hao will most likely have become a big worker like his eldest cousin, and his salary may exceed mine. It doesn't matter, he and I are good brothers, and whoever gets a high salary is a thing to be happy about. We both came out together, we both got rich together, and I hope he is richer than I am.
On the second night after Ning Hao and I arrived in Yunhai City, the eldest cousin borrowed a hundred yuan from his boss for me to eat, but I never used it, because the eldest cousin's boss provided me with two days of free food and lodging.
On the morning when I left the shed to go to work in the orchard, I wanted to return the hundred yuan to my eldest cousin, but he didn't want it, and asked me to pay him back after receiving my salary. He also bought me a lot of groceries the night before. So, for the next two or three months, I didn't have to spend any money.
I would love to go to the post office and send you back the hundred dollars, and pay back the money my relatives lent me. But I've never been to the post office to send money, and I don't know how much I will charge for sending a hundred dollars, and I'm afraid that I won't have enough money. I've heard my eldest cousin say that it costs two cents to send a registered letter, which is much more expensive than sending a regular letter, but it's safe. In the past two years, the eldest cousin has sent letters to his home, all of which are registered letters, and they have never been lost.
Oh, he also said, when you go to the town post office to receive registered mail, you must bring your father's private seal and household registration book!
Since it was so safe to send registered mail, I put the 100 dollars in the letterhead. If you can receive it smoothly this time, I will send you money in this way after I receive my salary in the future.
It's ten o'clock in the evening, and I have a lot of things to say to you, but there is a lot of gravel in the orchard where we will be hoeing tomorrow, and the speed of hoeing is very affected. In order to ensure the workload for tomorrow, I have to go to bed early and go to work early tomorrow. Well, that's all for this time.
Special reminder, send me a reply, send it directly to the Yunhai Airport Project Department, and the recipient will write Chen Gongdai to transfer Lu Yao. I don't have a private seal, you can just send me a regular letter. This time, I wrote back to my fifth sister and asked me to write, I want to see if his level of writing has improved.
Finally, I wish my grandparents and my parents good health and happiness every day! I wish my eldest brother a family as soon as possible! I wish my third brother, four brothers and five sisters good health and progress in their studies!
Love your Lu Yao forever.
10:05 p.m. on August 23 in the Year of the Ox.
Originally, he was about to go to sleep after writing this letter, and he remembered that he should write a letter to Hao Dachun, so he folded the family letter, put it next to the lamp, and immediately wrote a letter to Hao Dachun on the letterhead.
When the last word was written, it was already eleven o'clock at night. He read it again from beginning to end before folding the letter, putting it in a drawer with the letter, yawning and going to bed, turning off the lights and going to bed.
After eating at noon the next day, Lu Yao washed the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned the kitchen, (In the past two days, Lu Yao has been doing these things, and A-Ying is also used to it.) He walked over to the dining table and saw that A-Ying was feeding the three children, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped talking.
A-Ying saw that Lu Yao must have something to talk to her about, so she turned her head sideways, looked at Lu Yao with a smile, and asked, "Lu Yao, do you have something?"
"Hah! It's a bit of a thing. Is it far from the post office?" Lu Yao asked with a red face.
"I heard Ah Xin say that the nearest post office is the post office next to the airport project department. If you don't send a telegram, just send a letter and send money, you can go to the post office at the intersection of Fuwei Village at the foot of the mountain. Are you sending money or letters?" asked A-Ying.
"I, I send letters, send registered mail. What time does the general post office get off work?" Lu Yao asked.
"I don't know exactly what time I get off work. You have to send a letter, you can go down the mountain at any time. There is an old bicycle in the tool room, I went down the mountain to buy something to ride, you can use it. A-Ying said.
"But I don't know how to ride a bike, I just walk down the mountain!" Lu Yao said.
"If you walk, it's going to take more than two hours to go back and forth. If you don't have anything else to do, we can help you get the letter out and mail it. Tonight, Ah Xin may be back, so let him help you take the letter to the airport post office and mail it. If he doesn't come back, I'll go down the mountain tomorrow morning to buy something, and I'll take it to the Fuwei Post Office to mail it for you, can I?" asked A-Ying.
"Yes, thank you then!" Lu Yao said gratefully.
"You're welcome, it's all your own people. Do you have any envelopes in your drawer? If not, go to the drawer of my dresser and get them, there is still a bunch of envelopes in there that have not been used, you can take them all!" A-Ying said.
"Thank you!" Lu Yao replied in a low voice. But he stood still.
"What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to come into my room? We're all on our own, don't be too restrained, you can go in and get it yourself!" A-Ying said.
"Hey, thank you!" Lu Yao hurriedly walked into A-Ying's room, walked quickly to the dresser, opened the drawer, and saw a bundle of brown paper envelopes under a red wallet.
He gently picked up the wallet with his left hand, took out the envelope with his right hand, and saw a stack of 100 yuan bills neatly placed underneath, at least 1,000 yuan.
Lu Yao's heart jumped, and his breathing became short. He had never seen so much money when he had grown so big, and he rarely saw even a hundred-dollar bill. But it was only in the blink of an eye that he regained his composure. He placed his wallet on the stack of hundred-dollar bills, closed the drawer gently, took the envelope and turned and walked out of the room.
"You just envelop the envelope and put it on the table. A-Ying said.
"Hey!" Lu Yao replied. He walked briskly into the dormitory to load the letters, wrote the envelopes, took out the only one dollar coin left from his backpack, returned to the dining table, put the two letters on the table, and put the one dollar coin on the envelope.
"You don't need to send the money, you can take it back. Do you have to send both letters by registered mail?" asked A-Ying.
Originally, Lu Yao had already decided, and both letters were sent by registered mail. Ah Ying said that he didn't want to send the money for the letter, and he immediately said: "It's just that the letter sent to my father is sent to registered mail, and this letter is sent to Nanyang University in Nanguang City." ”
"Okay! I see. Do you have friends or classmates at Nanyang University?" Ah Ying asked with a smile.
"It's a brother I met on the train that came by, and he was admitted to Nanyang University last month. Lu Yao replied.
"Oh! Looks like this brother you know is studying hard. Nanyang University is one of the top five key universities in China, and it is not so easy to get in. A-Ying said with a smile.
"Huh, then you and the boss are even more powerful!" Lu Yao said in surprise.
