When Ye Qiu heard the postman's words, he was so excited that he hurriedly ran up.

But as soon as he got the envelope, Ye Qiu saw Tang Chuanhe standing on the side of the road with a hoe. Tang Chuanhe obviously heard the postman's words, and was looking at Ye Qiu and the postman, although there was no emotion in his eyes, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a little weak.

At this time, many people at the entrance of the village also came back from work, and they all heard the words of the postman and looked at Ye Qiu one after another. Some muttered in their hearts, this little girl from the city is really amazing, and in just a few days, she actually asked Tang Weishan to remit all the money directly to her. originally envied Zhou Ju and Tang Chuanhe for finding a daughter-in-law in the city, but they gloated in their hearts, and some even looked at Tang Chuanhe with a lively mentality to see if he would be unhappy.

"Comrade Ye Qiu, please take the identity certificate issued by the village to the post office to receive the money." Comrade Postman kindly reminded Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu hurriedly thanked the postman comrade.

The postman smiled and left, heading for the next family.

And when Ye Qiu was talking to the postman, Tang Chuanhe had already gotten off the highway.

Ye Qiu saw that after the postman left, although he felt a little embarrassed, he still put the envelope in his pocket, and stepped forward to take Tang Chuanhe's hoe, "Dad, why hasn't my mother come back today?" ”

Tang Chuanhe's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he didn't be polite to Ye Qiu, so he gave the hoe to Ye Qiu, "Your mother cut some grass, in the back, and I'll come back with your eldest brother and sister-in-law in a while." ”

As soon as he heard that he was coming back with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Ye Qiu knew in his heart that he must have gone to pick tea.

As they spoke, the two walked towards Tang's house. The wish of the people who saw the excitement was disappointed, and they entered the village disappointed.

Tang Chuanhe saw the bucket in the courtyard, looked at Ye Qiu's thin back, and shouted to the room on the far left, "Third, third, come out." ”

Just came back from work, Tang Weitian, whose butt was still hot, came out of the house, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"The water in the tank is gone, you hurry up and pick up two loads." Tang Chuanhe said with a frown.

"Okay."

Ye Qiu walked in front with a hoe, so he went into the house to put the hoe in the house. After hearing Tang Chuanhe's words, he hurriedly came out and saw that Tang Weitian had already picked up the wooden barrel, "Third brother, I can pick it." "Although the body in this life has not yet adapted, Ye Qiu is indeed able to carry water, and he will not be able to carry water, and the flat shoulder will slide off his shoulders.

"What will you pick, your shoulders are not smoothed, how can you pick if your flat shoulders are unstable?" Tang Chuanhe said, "Let your third brother pick it." ”

Tang Weitian smiled, turned around and left with the bucket.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn't say anything anymore.

In fact, there is a well in the backyard of the Tang family, but the water quality of that well is not very good, and it is a bit bitter, so it is generally used to feed the cattle to drink water or wash and the like. The water for eating and drinking is still picked from the century-old well in the village. As for the water in the Tang family's old house, Tang Weishi and Tang Weitian generally take turns to carry water. It's just that after Tang Guifang returned to Tang's house recently, most of them were also carrying water.

In the days when Tang Guifang carried water, the Tang family had never been short of water. It's just that in the past few days, the village has to distribute grain, so it has to calculate half a year's work. And Tang Guizhi's work is evaluated by looking at the pounds of cow dung handed in half a year. Tang Guifang felt that the cow dung she had saved was still a little insufficient. So, in the past few days, Tang Guifang has been helping her pick up quartz, hay and some dead branches and leaves, mixed in cow dung, so that the cow can step on them.

It's just that today, Tang Guifang and Tang Guizhi walked a little farther, so they went home late and delayed carrying water.

After Tang Weitian carried water, Ye Qiu didn't have anything to do, so he came back to the house, took out the envelope from his pocket, and opened it eagerly.

Inside the envelope were three food stamps and two cloth stamps and a letter.

Ye Qiu put the food stamps into the drawer and opened the squarely folded letter. Seeing the contents of the envelope, Ye Qiu was stunned.

On a big piece of paper, there are five sentences:

Comrade Ye Qiu, see that the letter is safe.

I have returned safely, and I am fine here, so I don't need to worry about it.

Okay, have you adapted to the days in the village?

I have sent you the allowance and salary this month, take good care of yourself, and contact me in time if there is anything.

This salute was written by Comrade Tang Guowen on the summer night of the 76th year.

This old Tang is too puzzled, right? Such a big piece of paper is just these five sentences? It also includes letterheads and drop-offs.

Ye Qiu looked at it over and over, but he couldn't believe that this was a letter written by Tang Weishan.

It's a pity that when they first got married in their previous life, Tang Weishan's relationship with her was not very good, and the two had nothing to say. So Tang Weishan only sends money every month. So much so that now Ye Qiu has no comparison.

But later, after Lao Tang was injured and retired from the army, during the time when she lost her child, the relationship between the two gradually became harmonious. At that time, there were a lot of rules in the old Tang Dynasty, not like such a concise person.

Sitting at the table, pulling out the lantern, Ye Qiu looked at the five lines on it repeatedly. Although she could feel Tang Weishan's concern for herself in her short words, for Ye Qiu, who thought about Tang Weishan every night, such a short letter could not comfort her thoughts at all.

Opening the drawer and looking at the thick stack of letterheads written inside because he missed Old Tang, Ye Qiu's heart became more and more unbalanced. I really want to be hard for a while, and no longer write to Tang Weishan, so that he can be anxious. But Ye Qiu remembered a qiē in his previous life, and he was reluctant to let him worry about himself.

After thinking about it, Ye Qiu took a piece of letter paper again and began to write a letter. First of all, he talked about the situation at home, everything was fine, of course, he hid the matter of the second sister Tang Guifang, and Ye Qiu planned to tell him after the dust settled. And then the rest of the content is basically questioning.

What Ye Qiu thought was that since Old Tang didn't say it, he would say hello himself. She didn't believe it, and the next time Tang Weishan replied with such a brief letter.

After writing it, after putting the letter in a drawer, Ye Qiu went out of the house.

In the main house, Tang Guizhi and Tang Guifang, as well as her mother-in-law Zhou Ju, have returned. At this time, the whole family was by the stove every day, lighting the horse lantern, Tang Chuanhe was burning firewood, and Zhou Ju was frying tea.

The room was filled with a strong aroma of tea. Seeing Ye Qiu come out, Zhou Ju, who was stirring the tea leaves, hurriedly said, "The fifth brother wrote a letter?" ”

Ye Qiu nodded, "He asked how the family was!" However, Tang Weishan only wrote a letter to himself, which made Ye Qiu a little embarrassed when facing Zhou Ju and Tang Chuanhe, they were more parents, and they couldn't help but complain about Tang Weishan in their hearts.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu remembered the remittance, and hurriedly said, "He also sent money, and I will give it to my mother when I get it back." ”

"No, no." Zhou Ju hurriedly said, "The fifth child is also married, so his money should naturally be in the hands of his daughter-in-law." After a pause, "Wait a minute, your father will go to the village chief's house to issue a certificate, and tomorrow is just in time for the market, so you don't have to go to work." ”

Ye Qiu was a little moved in her heart, her mother-in-law was always so open-minded, and she nodded again and again. Tang Guizhi saw that the fifth sister-in-law could go to the field, her eyes were a little envious, and she wanted to follow, but she remembered that there was a little cow dung in the cowpen and she was deflated, so she should save more in the past few days.

"The fifth will actually write back?" Tang Guifang was a little surprised.

"It was written by the fifth sister-in-law on her own initiative." Tang Guizhi saw his sister's disbelief, his depressed mood was swept away, and he replied with a smile.

Ye Qiu looked at the two sisters suspiciously.

Tang Guizhi then told the story.

It turned out that Tang Weishan had been a soldier for eight years, and he had never written a letter to his family. In the past eight years, he would sometimes send some money back to let them know that Tang Weishan was still fine. Even when I came back to visit relatives this time, I didn't need to say it in advance. Therefore, Tang Weishan wrote the envelope to her, although it is simple, it should also be gratifying, right?

After chatting for a while, Zhou Ju simply canned the tea leaves and waited for them to ferment, and everyone was ready to sleep.

Ye Qiu went back to the house after washing, and did not sleep, but entered the space.

The rice and corn in the space are ripe.

Originally, Ye Qiu planned to break off the corn cob, and then crush it and make corn cake to eat. Don't look at the small area of the space, but the output is very high. A corn seedling bears two long, large corn cobs. Ye Qiu estimated that there should be twenty back baskets. But when you break corn, you will rub the corn on the cob, and when you think of rubbing the corn on the cob. Ye Qiu's hands hurt a little, and he really didn't want to recall the memory of rubbing the corn cob.

But so many corn cobs have to be dealt with, thinking about it, Ye Qiu wants to sell corn cobs directly. Anyway, the corn in the space is very tender, and it can be sold directly, and it can be boiled and eaten directly when you buy it, or fried and roasted.

Thinking of the smell of roasted corn, Ye Qiu swallowed his saliva, and then immediately walked out of the space. I took firewood, salt, and chili powder from the outside into the space. I found an open space, simply set up a rack, and roasted the corn over the fire.

Soon, the smell of corn came to my nose.

Ye Qiu hurriedly sprinkled salt and chili powder. When the corn was a little browned on the outside, it was set aside and roasted for three.

After all of them were roasted, Ye Qiu couldn't wait to pick up the first one and start eating, the temperature was just right, not cold or hot. The corn kernels are soft, tender and waxy, with a slight burnt aroma and a little spicy taste that stimulates the taste buds. As soon as he was reborn, Ye Qiu had never eaten such a delicious thing, he ate four in a row, and his stomach was full, and he had a full burp.

It's just that after burping, Ye Qiu felt a little guilty. It would be great if so many tender corn cobs could be taken out for the Tang family to eat. But Ye Qiu didn't dare to expose the space. But after thinking about it, after selling the corn cob, it would be the same to buy something else for everyone to eat. When I think about it this way, I feel much better.

As for the rice in the space, Ye Qiu hadn't come up with any way yet. If you sell the grain, you have to thresh. Ye Qiu roughly estimated that the seven-point field in the space should be able to produce more than 700 catties of millet. Compared with the same area of the field outside, the output is nearly twice as high. This is enough to catch up with the production of improved rice in later generations. And more than 700 catties of grain is a lot in this era. After all, Tang Chuanhe, Zhou Ju and Tang Guizhi only have more than 300 catties of grain a year, plus other crops, a total of only more than 600 catties of grain.

Therefore, what to do with the rice, Ye Qiu still has to think about it. Ye Qiu actually wanted to take it out for the Tang family to eat, but he had to think about it as an excuse.

The second day happened to be the day of the rush, Ye Qiu didn't go to work, took the certificate issued by Tang Chuanhe to help her find the village chief, and went to Wudu Town with a basket on her back.

I went to the post office first, sent the letter, and then took the identification and withdrew the money. Ye Qiu didn't expect that Tang Weishan sent more than fifty yuan at one time. After paying the handling fee, Ye Qiuquan put it away and put it directly into the space.

Out of the post office, Ye Qiu walked towards Wudu Town with a basket on his back.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Ye Qiu suddenly saw the figures of Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong, who were buying Dong inside. I wanted to go in and say hello, but I remembered the purpose of my visit to Wudu Town, so I hurriedly walked away.

At the ferry port at the end of Wudu Town, there is a dilapidated ship docked. There are some people standing here in twos and threes, and it is a recognized dark market in Wudu Town.

Ye Qiu didn't walk towards these people, but walked around the lower field area of Wudu Town. People looking for a house or hanging out around the corner of the top bunk.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu saw a familiar figure.
