Chapter 197: Letters
"What are you doing with me so politely? ”
"I can't repay it, I can't repay it. It's not that she doesn't want to repay, it's that she really has nothing to do and doesn't know what to repay him.
"If you really want to repay it, then it's vulgar, don't think of me as so vulgar. Zhuang Lijun shook his head slightly, but he thought evil in his heart, it's not that there is nothing to repay, and the little frog can be eaten after it is ripe......
Where did Liu Haohao know his careful thoughts, and felt that Zhuang Lijun was really very thoughtful, and even prepared a military raincoat, a kettle and a flashlight for her, and brought five pairs of rubber shoes, "You often go to the countryside, and your feet hurt when you walk in cloth shoes, and it will be better to wear rubber shoes." ”
As a friend, he really didn't say anything, it was just heart-to-heart, she secretly made up her mind to find a way to return this favor if she said anything.
In addition, he also prepared a military satchel and a military kettle for one of Liu Haohao's three younger siblings, and Liu Xiangxiang had one more military hat than the two girls.
You must know that the things in the army now are the front end of fashion trends, especially the little boys, wearing military hats are almost as stylish as using an Apple mobile phone decades later, and it is completely to the extent that they despise everything in a group of little kids.
One can imagine how excited Liu Shangxiang would be when he got these gifts.
In contrast, what Liu Changsheng and Cheng Zhaodi got was a little shabby, it was just a pair of military rain boots for one person, Zhuang Lijun went to Liu's house last time, and saw with his own eyes the attitude of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law towards Liu Haohao, and he was still angry about Liu Changsheng throwing Liu Haohao's chopsticks, and sending them five yuan a month was already considered his best, and it was completely impossible for him to treat them like Liu Haohao.
"How embarrassing is this, it's too expensive!" She looked embarrassed, these things sent by Zhuang Lijun are not only practical, but also can't be bought even if they have money outside, many people go around the back door in order to buy supplies in the army, and he sent so many things at once, it must have taken a lot of effort and spent a lot of allowances.
"Things can come in handy, it's worth it, it's not expensive at all, if you want to break the cost, these things you send are really expensive, in the capital, even if you spend more money, it's not good to buy these things." ”
Zhuang Lijun really didn't take these things he sent to heart, his salary is not low, and he is single, except for symbolically sending some money to his mother and the Liu family, most of the money is saved by himself, and there is almost no place to spend money at ordinary times, and now he spends it on Liu Haohao, very willingly.
"Don't comfort me, Grandpa Zhuang has been in Southern Province for so many years, and I don't know how many relatives and friends there are, and these snake wine and dry goods are not rare at all. She was a little embarrassed.
Zhuang Lijun was speechless and looked at her for a long time, "You don't have to be so sincere." ”
She finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I'm not going to be polite to you." ”
If she doesn't have a lot of debts, she can't afford to pay it back anyway, and she won't be obsessed with it.
"That's it, what are the two of us polite? It's also a lifelong friendship. "He has always been taciturn, but he will be a little more lively in front of her.
"If that's the case, you're still my savior, and I'll have to repay you in the next life. ”
Who wants you to tie the grass ring in the next life?
It's a pity that Zhuang Lijun only dared to think about it in his heart, since he wanted to boil this frog with warm water, he could only take his time, and he must not scare her.
As soon as Zhuang Lijun set off for Beijing with his things, Liu Haohao received an unexpected letter.
It turned out to be sent by Zhao Lanzhou, who had returned to the provincial capital, and since Zhao Lanzhou went back, the two had cut off contact, after all, with his identity, it was impossible to get too close to a small temporary worker like her, but although she couldn't contact him, he could find her easily.
Zhao Lanzhou's letter was not long, and most of the few lines were polite greetings, expressing concern and greetings to their family from the standpoint of the elders, but at the end, he attached a poem, saying that he had just read it, which was quite touching.
"It's an ordinary thing to be crushed, but I hope to sacrifice to repay the country. ”
And the focus of this sudden letter is probably also on this sentence.
A lot of things have happened in China this year, which can be described as earth-shaking politically, and it is no wonder that Zhao Lanzhou's long-dormant heart will come alive again.
Now there is a great opportunity in front of him, and his ambition for many years has finally had a chance to come true, of course he can't be unmoved, but after all, he is also an old oilman in the officialdom, and he is still a little hesitant about the opportunity, and after a few hesitations, he took the dead horse as a live horse doctor and wrote a letter to Liu Haohao.
After the letter was sent, he didn't have much hope, although Liu Haohao is smart and a practical person, but she has never been in the muddy waters of officialdom, so she naturally doesn't know the hardships and dangers, this place full of risks and opportunities is not something that a little girl like her has the ability to set foot in, at least she doesn't have this ability now, maybe she can't even understand the meaning of that sentence after seeing the letter.
But he has no one to negotiate with now, everyone persuades him to seize this good opportunity, no one knows his full of worries, and he doesn't dare to let people know, writing to Liu Haohao is more of an emotional catharsis, and he doesn't expect her to reply to him with any meaningful content.
So Zhao Lanzhou quickly put this matter behind her, but she didn't expect that she would receive her reply soon.
Liu Haohao's attitude was humble, but it was humorous, which instantly made him feel as if he was talking to that smart and lively little girl, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
After greeting and thanking her, she began to say innocuous trivia, such as the fact that she had stumbled upon a book at a scrapyard with a joke in it, which she found very funny.
He had read this joke a long time ago, it was the story of "A leaf blinds you can't see Mount Tai", but with his understanding of her, Liu Haohao will definitely not be the kind of person who thinks the story is funny, so he specially transcribes it to him for no reason.
Does it mean that he is only confused by the local phenomena in front of him, but does not see the overall situation?
He furrowed his brows, and his gaze fell on the last poem she had transcribed, "Determination is not sharp, success is not fast for a long time." ”
Although this is saying that she has made up her own mind, but it is a little meaningful to put it here, she is persuading herself to wait a little longer, don't worry?
Why should she persuade herself to wait? Does she feel that the current situation is not clear enough? But what does she, a little girl from the countryside, know?
