Chapter 35 No reply received
He Tiantian saw that Aunt Liu wanted to bring something, so she asked Old Man Qi what he needed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Old man Qi gave her five cents and asked her to get some wine.
You don't need a ticket to buy alcohol, you can buy it as long as you have money. However, in the era of material poverty, there was not enough to eat, and few people bought wine to drink. Old man Qi is not short of money, so he can drink two or three bottles a year.
After He Tiantian went back in the evening, she wrote a letter and prepared to send it tomorrow to ask what the situation was. When she couldn't receive the letter, she was uneasy.
Grandma Qi San didn't have anything she wanted to bring back, but He Tiantian would still buy her some delicious pastries to bring back. If she has the materials, she can make them herself, but without the materials in her hand, it is difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't make all kinds of delicious pastries.
Wang Shuping brought a lot of money and tickets to He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie also prepared a lot of money and food stamps for He Tiantian, plus the share of educated youth, which was enough for her to spend.
Early the next morning, He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan were waiting in the small forest not far from the village. The reason why I avoid the crowd is also because I don't want others to gossip.
After a while, Qi Ergou drove the ox cart, carrying Secretary Qi, and walked over leisurely.
"Get in the car." When Secretary Qi saw his daughter, he was smiling all over his face, as if his carriage was more stylish than a car.
"Hey!" He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan smiled happily and got into the ox cart.
Qi Ergou took the whip and threw a whip flower in the air, making a crisp sound.
The old cow, which was originally lazy, gradually increased its speed and walked on the country road.
The sky was slightly bright, and the morning dew was very heavy, Secretary Qi took out two sacks as if playing a trick, and said, "You guys are one by one, don't let the dew wet your clothes." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Qi." He Tiantian took it and put it on, she was stained with Qi Xiaoyan's light today. When there were no outsiders, He Tiantian changed his name.
"Sweet girl, what are you doing in the county seat?" Secretary Qi asked, "Now the county town is not as good as before, it's messy, you guys be careful, what do you want to buy as soon as possible, follow the second dog, don't run around!" ”
"Go buy some pancreatic toothpaste or something, and send a letter to the post office." He Tiantian said softly, she also knew that there was chaos in the county, and she still remembered that in her previous life, it was also at this time, and Secretary Qi brought back several people from the county seat who wanted to be reformed through labor. Maybe this time I went to the county seat, Secretary Qi did this.
Secretary Qi nodded and said, "It's good that you two have a number in your hearts, by the way, sweet girl, the letter I sent to your parents last time, it's been so long, you should reply to the letter?" ”
"yes." He Tiantian said, "It stands to reason that my parents will reply to me immediately when they receive my letter. But after such a long time, there has been no reply, and I am anxious. ”
He Tiantian is not worried about her parents' accident for the time being, and there is Huo Yingjie's side, no one on either side has replied to her, He Tiantian suspects that her letter was hidden by Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli. However, she had no evidence and had to go to the post office to check it.
"Oh, no wonder." Qi Dazhu said, "When you get to the county seat, I will go to the commune and let Ergou take you to buy things in the county town and go to the post office." ”
He Tiantian thanked him vigorously, he has a good relationship with the cadres, and it is much more convenient to do things.
Along the way, Secretary Qi asked He Tiantian about some of the situation in South City, and He Tiantian told the truth. He Tiantian also figured it out, the reason why Secretary Qi paid so much attention to Nanshi was because Qi Xiaoyan's second brother was a soldier in Nanshi. It's such a coincidence, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can ask his second brother to bring something to his parents.
For example, those rare pickled rabbits, pickled pheasants.
Leaving early in the morning, at ten o'clock in the county seat, Qi Ergou drove the ox cart directly to the commune compound and found a place to put it.
Secretary Qi went to the commune for a meeting, Qi Ergou took He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan to walk around the county town and purchase things on the list.
The people on the road were in a hurry, their faces were gray, and most of them looked malnourished. There are patches on my clothes, and I am hesitant and at a loss.
The sky is gray, the houses are dilapidated, and everything that catches the eye shows an air of decadence. At this time, it is estimated that only the propaganda slogans "All reactionaries are paper tigers" were written on the walls on both sides of the street, "Carry out the great proletarian revolution to the end!" "We resolutely refuse to restore capitalism!"
Word by word, high morale!
Along the way, from time to time, I saw people pressing people to criticize and fight. Qi Ergou protected Qi Xiaoyan, and He Tiantian walked aside, don't mix in.
Seeing this, He Tiantian felt sad, this was a national catastrophe and a people's disaster. He Tiantian knew that this was the trend of the times, and she was a small person who couldn't turn the situation around at all. In her previous life, her parents were also criticized like this. She can't control others, but she must change the fate of her parents.
If you don't change, you'd rather die. This is the motivation for He Tiantian to persevere.
The supply and marketing cooperatives were relatively close to the commune government compound, and the three of them went there to buy things first.
The salesmen inside are state workers, but they are all established by the government, and they do not have the quality of service personnel at all.
High up, love ignores.
He Tiantian knew the faces of these salesmen in his previous life, even if the other party had a bad attitude, they had to bear it. Fortunately, He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan are beautiful, and their clothes are clean and tidy, which makes people feel that their family is a figure with a face in the county. These salesmen, although not enthusiastic, are not sarcastic.
Qi Ergou entered the city today, and he also wore his most decent clothes, and he was also looked at by the salesman. However, Qi Ergou felt inferior in his heart, he was a country boy, and he didn't dare to be serious with these state workers.
The three of them quickly bought their things and went to the post office.
There was only one man sitting at the counter in the post office, busy sorting out the letters with his head down.
"Hello comrade, I would like to ask how long it will take to send a letter from us to Nanshi in Suzhou Province?" He Tiantian took out the letter and asked politely.
The young man saw that it was a beautiful girl, and guessed that it was an educated youth from Nanshi, so he quickly put down what he was holding and replied, "If it goes well, it will take about ten days." Do you want to send a letter? Eight points for stamps and one point for envelopes. ”
He Tiantian took out a dollar and said, "Twelve envelopes, eleven stamps, exactly one dollar." ”
The man quickly took the stamp and envelope, handed it over, He Tiantian carefully put the letter in, affixed the stamp and wrote the address, the recipient.
"How long does it take to send it here from Nanshi?" He Tiantian asked, she wanted to calculate when she would receive a reply from her parents and Huo Yingjie.
The man thought for a moment and asked, "Are you in the city, or in the country?" ”
"In the countryside, Qijia Village." He Tiantian replied, smiling and very polite.
"That's estimated to be ten days and half a month." The man replied, "After all, our postman also has to deliver them to the village one by one, and the situation in our county, as you know, is all mountain roads, and it takes more time to deliver letters." ”
