Chapter 51: A Quiet Life

In September, autumn has begun, and dawn has come early, but at four or five o'clock in the morning, the sky has begun to brighten, and the weather in September is not as hot as summer, and it is slowly becoming cooler. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the silent and empty village, I don't know whose rooster made the first loud crow, followed by a rooster crow, echoing in the small village within a radius of only a dozen miles.

A few remnant stars glowed dimly, sparsely hanging in the southwest sky. In the dense and boundless fields of sorghum, corn, and millet, the chirping of autumn insects is resounding one after another, and the grasshoppers occasionally add a few accompaniments, blowing the ground like intermittently blowing cold eggplants. Willow trees hang silently on the roadside, shade the winding path of weedy bushes.

As the roosters crowed and a few houses began to hear, yellow light bulbs lit up one by one, giving off a dim glow. The sound of water diversion from the pressurized well, the creaking of the wooden door when it is pushed open, the coughing sound of the man spitting, and the rustling of the woman washing rice are intertwined with the most simple life scene in the countryside. In a small mud hut in the southwest of the village, a young man in a white shirt carrying an old black document bag pushed open the door and walked out.

Wei Siran looked at the green mountains in the distance, due to the fog, the outline was not very clear, and it was blurred together with the sky, like a landscape splash ink painting with too much moisture.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Wei Siran felt that his mind was a lot clearer, this kind of free air and free life made Wei Siran feel comfortable and down-to-earth that he had never had.

Close the door, walk over to the old bicycle parked by the door, and ride out of the house.

Along the narrow path, slowly riding in the direction of the village entrance, since he came here a year ago, he has lived in this village, the first few months he always had the illusion that he may have just had a good dream, but after half a year of peace, Wei Siran really felt that he was indeed free.

He didn't think about anything now, he didn't want revenge, and he didn't pay attention to or touch anything about Qi Chenqing, so he turned everything in the past into a dream, a dream that had disappeared completely.

After about 50 minutes of riding, Wei Siran came to the only town here, and since he decided to say goodbye to the past, he decided to find a job in the town and stay here for the rest of his life.

The traffic in this town is not developed, so it seems to be disconnected from the outside city, it is difficult for news or news to come in, and the young people in the town have left the town, so that many jobs in the town can not be done, Wei Siran successfully used a fake ID card to find a light job in the only post office in the town.

Park the bicycle, walk into the post office, and come to his cramped small office, the office is completely facing away from the sun, the light is not too good, and to save electricity, Wei Siran walked to the side, and opened the two windows on the wall that are usually closed very tightly. Opening the window, although it doesn't have a big effect, it's a little brighter than just now.? There was a knock on the door, and Secretary Liu pushed the door open.

"Qin Ran, the mail truck that delivered the letter is back, you go and help Master Li clean it up, if you are okay today, go with Master Li and send the letter."

"Okay." Wei Siran immediately got up and closed the window that had just been opened.

"Why are there so many letters today?"

Wei Siran looked at the boxes full of letters, and was a little surprised.

"yes, didn't it rain heavily a while ago, and the road was washed across? It took two weeks to fix it, so didn't the letters just go with them for two weeks? I just sent it here today, hey, I don't know when I will finish sending so many letters! ”

Wei Siran saw that there were indeed so many, and it was impossible to send them to the five surrounding villages in one day.

"That's it, Master Li, I'll send you two villages in the west, and you can go to the three villages in the east."

"Really?" Master Li seemed a little happy, his daughter-in-law was nine months old and was about to give birth, and he thought that he would not be able to go back on time today, so he stewed the chicken, but now Wei Siran is willing to help him deliver it, and he will definitely be able to go back on time.

"However, you don't know the villagers of the village in the west very well."

"I have a long mouth, I really can't find it and ask, don't worry, let's sort it out quickly and send it away."

"Okay, okay."

……

Riding a bicycle, a letter, a letter was delivered door-to-door, fortunately, the address on the letter was relatively complete, even if the handwriting was a little sloppy, Wei Siran also sent it slowly and methodically.

"Granny Li, your letter."

Just shouted twice, Granny Li couldn't wait to walk out with a crutch when she heard the voice.

"The letter is coming?"

"Yes." Wei Siran handed the letter to Granny Li and prepared to leave, but Granny Li looked at the letter but had no intention of taking it.

"Young man, you can read it for me, I'm old, I can't read clearly, and I don't know some words."

Wei Siran smiled: "Okay." ”

Under Granny Li's expectant eyes, Wei Siran carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, the font on the letter was a little sloppy, but it could be seen that it was carefully written stroke by stroke.

"Hurry up!" Granny Li was a little anxious, staring at the letter with her eyes.

"Grandma, are you okay? How's the body? Does your lower back still hurt? If you are going to enter autumn, remember to cover more quilts at night, don't get cold, and don't worry about the crops in the field, don't get hurt when you're old, this year the boss said that I am very diligent, very careful, this month I sent me an extra 300 yuan, I sent it back to you, and when my job is stable, I will take you to the city and take good care of you, so before that, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be reluctant to buy food, you know? Grandma, I miss you so much, your granddaughter Yingzi. ”

threw out the 900 yuan in the envelope and handed it to Granny Li together with the letter, and Granny Li took it with both hands, and her hand covered with calluses and cracks took it with a slight trembling.

The red eyes were already moist, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Holding the money and the letter in both hands, he turned around and walked back to the house, snorting and whispering

"Good, good, good, just peace." ”

Wei Siran didn't know why, his nose was suddenly sour.

After delivering the letter, it was already late, Wei Siran walked out of the West Village, about to return to the town, and Master Li ran over from afar.

Hurriedly heard Wei Siran's face: "Qin Ran, have you seen Granny Li's letter?" ”

"See, I've given it to her."

"Then did you give it to Granny Li in person? It's still at the door. Master Li looked a little flustered.

"Sent in person, what's wrong?"

"If you send it in person, that's good, that's good." Master Li was much more relieved: "Then did you give her your faith?" ”

"I read it, and there are still a few hundred yuan in it and I handed it over to Granny Li."

"That's good, that's good, you don't know, the letter was written by Granny Li's only granddaughter Miao Ying, usually there is one every two weeks, but before the rain rushed across the road, the letter didn't arrive on time, Granny Li thought that Miao Ying had something wrong, and ran to the town with a stick for a few days in a row to ask me."

"What about Granny Li's daughter and son-in-law?" Thinking of Granny Li's pitiful and lonely appearance, Wei Siran couldn't help but ask.

"All died, when Miao Ying was three years old, his parents were working outside, helping others escort trucks, one night they encountered a police spot check, at that time Miao Ying's father drove a car, overloaded nearly twice as much goods, so his father wanted to drive away, but not only did he not run away, but he also fell into the river with the car, her mother was also in the car, so neither of them escaped, they both died, Miao Ying was pulled up by Granny Li, Miao Ying, the child is also filial piety, and after going out to work, he also writes to Granny Li at any time, every time I send a letter to Granny Li, I have to help her finish her faith before leaving. ”

"I see." Wei Siran suddenly realized that he didn't expect Granny Li to be so pitiful.
