Chapter XXVII: A Late Night Visit 3
In the blink of an eye, a letter came from home, and when Hu Yaru went to the mailroom to pick up the letter, the old man recognized her.
"Hu Yaru, right, come to get the letter again?" The uncle blurted out when he saw her.
"Yes." Hu Yaru smiled at the uncle.
"Now there are not many people who write letters, and they all go to public phone booths to make calls."
"Yes, my family is more traditional." Hu Yaru also responded patiently.
"I come to pick up the letter every month, and it seems that my home is far away!" The old man looked for letters, and he didn't forget to chatter.
"yes, it's far away." Hu Yaru replied politely.
"Listen to your accent, save it!" The old man looked affirmative, and then handed the letter to her.
"yes, I still don't think I have an accent!" Hu Yaru really doesn't have a too obvious local accent, most of the family members speak Mandarin, and she has been somewhat affected by habits. I didn't think that my Mandarin was really not very pure.
There was only a letter from home, no one from her brother, and she felt quite lost.
Hu Yaru returned to the house alone after work before opening the letter.
She sat on her desk and chair, turned on the lamp, and gently cut open the envelope with the knife in the pen holder, which was her usual way of opening letters. Hu Yaru has always felt in her heart that every letter to her family is a thought, although the content is similar, she will feel more at ease when she receives it
She opened the letter, densely packed with two pages.
Hello daughter!
It's been another 30 days. Your dad and I are in good health this month, and we miss you very much.
Time is really exciting, I am going to be 50 years old, and I am about to retire. I still remember when I first went to work, I wore big braids every day, but now I don't dare to look in the mirror, and my hair is a little gray.
Your dad is very good, busy with work all day, and he is very energetic! It's just that the teeth are not good, and the old teeth are not good, and when I eat, I shout and look for toothpicks everywhere, which is really laughing to death. I told him several times to go to the hospital and have a look! If you and your brother are here, he will definitely be obedient and go obediently!
A few days ago, I accompanied him to get a pair of reading glasses. It's the first time I've seen him wear glasses, and the old guy is quite suitable for wearing glasses!
Your brother called a few days ago and said that he had a girlfriend in Beijing, a classmate. I want to know the roots, in fact, I don't want him to stay in Beijing, but your brother and your father are just a temper, and no one can say anything. It's all right, as long as he's happy!
It's hot! You need to rest more, escape the heat, drink plenty of water, and remember to buy a mattress to spread if it's too hot. Don't be greedy for cold when you sleep at night, you still have to cover your stomach and be careful of catching a cold, the heat and cold are the most uncomfortable.
You are far away, my mother wants to see you, but I can't go, and when I retire at the end of next year, my mother will live with you for a while. I don't know if you're looking for a boyfriend, you have to look at your character more when you interact with people, don't impulsively entrust it for life!
Don't be nagging. Mom still hopes that you can come back and come back to us. May you all the best and all the best!
Hu Yaru is silent every time she reads a letter, and she is always used to taking homesickness to heart. She likes to express herself in a way that is kind and natural. In so long, she called home once. The moment she heard her mother's voice, she burst into tears, she felt that all the grievances were amplified in her mother's voice, and she didn't want to cry. Originally, I thought about it, and I want to say that I am very good, life here is very good, and my colleagues are very good. But when she picked up the phone, she only said, "Mom, I miss you!" ”
That night, she had insomnia, and her mind was full of her brother, her childhood self, and her aging parents. It dawned on her that this was the case when she grew up! Because of this, she was reluctant to call, for fear that she would be too homesick.
Hu Yaru specially found a box and put the letter she received, neatly and carefully. She arranged each letter in chronological order, and she also locked the box and placed it in the corner of the closet.
Every time she reads a letter, she replies to one, and this time was no exception.
When she was writing a letter, Wu Lanyu came back, and when she saw her writing on the desk, she couldn't help but come over and take a look, "What are you doing?" ”
"Write a letter!" Hu Yaru didn't raise her head in response.
"If you have something to call, there are shared phone booths on the road." She returned to her territory, but Hu Yaru did not respond to her, and she did not say anything about it anymore.
"I'm going out with my friends, if I don't come back after ten o'clock in the evening, don't leave me the door, I guess I'll stay at my friend's house!"
"Okay." Hu Yaru agreed, turned her head, looked at the big butterfly that was changing her clothes, and said with a smile, "Who is the beauty going to date?" I also came back to change clothes! ”
Wu Lanyu had just changed out of her work clothes and was about to wear the long skirt she had just bought, she turned her head to look at Hu Yaru, "Hurry up and write your letter!" A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman every day, no matter who she meets! ”
"Beauty, stay safe!" I don't know when it started, and Hu Yaru began to gradually turn joking into a daily name.
Wu Lanyu changed into a skirt, put on square-toe high heels, and went out with her small bag. Hu Yaru is used to it, Wu Lanyu is popular, has a lot of meals, and often goes out to play at night.
