She took out the letter from the space, there were more than 30 unopened copies, and about 10 copies were opened, and she remembered simply telling her where to send the letter, what activities there were, the local scenery and customs, how are you doing, and the details of the things that came by mail. Tear open the envelope in order and pull out the stationery This is the first letter, and it is also the letter from the age of 10.

"Mom's baby, Mom can't face you, looking at your photos, you can't help but hate him, he said that you are his delicate, he wants to put it in the palm of his hand for the rest of his life, watching you from babbling to slim, but he still left without nostalgia、、、、、、 he said that if a man can't protect the land under his feet and the woman in his arms, then he is not a man. But he guarded the land and did not protect us as promised.

You have to learn to wait, just as I learned to wait. Now in Yunnan, I try to follow your father's footsteps to find out his mood at that time, and waiting will become expectation. You are still young, when you grow up, you will understand when you fall in love with someone, I miss the most painful people, I have been around our family in my dreams countless times, but I woke up to an empty dormitory, since your father left, I have no home, I am floating around, I think one day I am tired or return to you, but now I can't do it, my heart is not quiet, people are unstable、、、、、、" Zhou Jiao sighed, 10-year-old she may not understand, now understand.

Opening the second letter, along with the letter paper bills, there are more than a dozen new first editions of the renminbi. All of them are carefully changed into small denominations.

"、、、、、、 baby, your second uncle's Xuezhen has the same birthday as you, the 10th birthday, your father once said that he would work hard to make money, and he started to prepare a dowry at the age of 10, but where is he now? I follow in your dad's footsteps and collect things according to his wishes、、、、、、

If one day your mother never comes back to you, you have to learn to wait, just as I always believe that your father and I are breathing in the same sky.

This time, according to Xiao Xuezhen's height, I will mail you clothes and sweaters, and the rest will be handed over to your grandma for safekeeping. Your grandfather inquired about your situation, so I put the money in the letter, I don't know if you have received it. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. You can rest assured to spend, in addition to the fixed remittance to your grandparents every month, our family is not short of money、、、、、、"

Zhou Jiao took the next envelope and opened it, the earliest letters contained money in the letters, and later there were military supply bills, as well as the last three 200 yuan foreign exchange rolls, each letter wrote something to be remitted each time, but she really didn't receive it. I looked at a bunch of things and found that her mother had the same cleanliness habit as her. The letterheads, the money, and the tickets were all white and new.

After reading the letter, she sorted out a bunch of tickets, which had no time limit. The foreign exchange coupon is from the provincial capital, and I don't know how she got it?

"Baby, look at this is a ticket, it's all given by your grandmother, you have to grow up quickly, you can eat delicious food, your grandmother is rich, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem." It's really stupid and has a lot of money. You don't want to learn like this in the future, our baby is a good child to be diligent and thrifty, do you know? ”

The mother-in-law knocked lightly under the window, "Jiaojiao, are you asleep?" ”

Zhou Jiao looked at the letter in the box, there was nothing else, and there was no need to avoid her, "No, mother, you came in to talk, and Ping An didn't sleep." ”

"Oh, grandma, little girl, awake, what are you thinking about if you don't sleep." Zhang's mother came in and saw her good grandson first, "You took out this pile of tickets from your mother's letter, you said you are so stubborn, only now open the letter, it seems that your mother is also afraid that your grandfather will harshly treat you, and give it to you in private, not afraid of losing it." That's a big heart. ”

Zhou Jiao has a lot of money in private, so she doesn't care about these external objects, "Mother, they are all military tickets, you can take whatever you want to buy, those three are the most valuable, 200 yuan each."

If you want to go to the provincial city friendship mall to buy, those are foreigners to buy, things are cheaper than department stores, this is used as money, called foreign exchange rolls. Take this to enter the friendship mall, you take a 200 yuan and let your father take you to see there, I haven't been there, I heard my classmates say that things are cheap there. ”

"You kid, I just saw that Xiao Wu bought so many wool and things and wanted to come over and tell you, you need money everywhere if you want to live a small life in the future, but you can't spend it like this anymore. What kind of coupon is you use yourself, and when you go back to the confinement period, I'll go with you to see it. Zhang's mother pushed away the bill she handed over.

Zhou Jiao didn't push around, thinking about the neat clothes that her father and mother wore when they went out, they were all made of homespun cloth and patched.

"That's okay, you can squeak what the family lacks for the New Year, and let the little fifth brother buy it. These bills of cotton and cloth are intended to be made for you. ”

"No, keep it for yourselves, and do it for me, boy Feibu. I don't think you should wear those old clothes safely, I don't know how much cloth and cotton you need, it's not enough. She said and laughed, "My little peace is blessed, and the good grandson is also new, this little padded jacket is embroidered, and even the diapers are snow-white." ”

Zhou Jiao thought about it in the afternoon, and her sister-in-law was also staring at her when she saw Ping An changing diapers, but fortunately she was not a person who talked much, otherwise, the whole village would have come to see Western paintings.

"Mother, you've eaten it, why is it so fast?"

"Your father saw the wine and beef, so he didn't get off the table and Xiao Wu was drinking, and we all got off the table when we were all ready."

Lin Juhua thought about it in the room, came out with the little girl and wheat ears, and knocked on the door of the third brother and sister.

"Jiaojiao, is my mother here? I'm going in."

"Second sister-in-law, you come in. Our mother is here. ”

Mother Zhang quickly wrapped up a pile of money bills in front of Jiaojiao and put them under the pillow, and glanced at Jiaojiao angrily, this girl just has no heart.

Zhou Jiao smiled at her flatteringly, there was no way that this was her mother-in-law's love for her, I was afraid that the second sister-in-law would come in and ask for it.

Lin Juhua came in with her daughter in her arms, "Mother, where are you, I'm looking for Jiaojiao to be bored in confinement, and they are here to chat with their father." Jiaojiao, I helped you wash the sheets and clothes today, what do you have to wash when you go back and let Xiao Wu take it to me, this month you can rest assured that you can take care of your body, I said to my sister-in-law, now I am working lightly, and after a while, it will be a cat winter, you will do it well this month. ”

"Then I really want to thank you and my sister-in-law, good second sister-in-law, you and my sister-in-law can be regarded as a great help. You put the ears of wheat on the kang, so you can sit down and rest, mother, you can help me make a cup of milk powder for the ears of wheat to drink. ”

Zhou Jiao teased the little girl, "Ears of wheat, auntie gives you milk powder to drink, you can be my daughter"

Wheat ears sat on the pit, looked at her milk, and her mother shook her head, "No, I'm my daughter." The little brother is the aunt's. Little aunt, my little brother is so small, much younger than me, my sister said that he will have a long time to grow up, and now he can only drink milk, not porridge, I am in a hurry. ”

Listening to the immature and somewhat adult-like words, the three of them laughed, "Don't worry, I can play with you soon, and when the time comes, Mai Sui will be a little sister and take my brother to play." ”

Mai Sui, who was drinking energetically, nodded repeatedly, she was looking at her little brother's bottle, it was so beautiful.
