56: Letter from home
The next day, early in the morning.
The sky had not yet melted, and the air was filled with a faint mist.
At the first rooster crow, Wang Xiulian had already gotten up and was busy in the stove room.
Gu Xiaoxiao was also noisy in the rooster crow, and she was not sleepy.
I got up and got dressed, pushed open the door and walked out.
After drinking a whole bowl of corn porridge slowly, her stomach still felt empty, she rubbed her stomach, "I really want to eat steamed buns...... I'm going to the town today to buy some meat and noodles, let's make steamed buns and eat them, shall we? ”
Wang Xiulian responded obediently: "Okay, you bought it back, and your daughter-in-law will do it." ”
What to buy and what to eat at home is up to the mother-in-law to decide.
She can't interject and won't interject.
Her mother-in-law treated her very well, and she didn't want to say anything that touched her head.
The casual proposal was responded, and Gu Xiaoxiao hugged Wang Xiulian without thinking about it, and kissed her face cordially.
"Xiulian, you are really good!"
In her last life, she had a best friend with a similar personality to Wang Xiulian, who was sensitive, gentle and very good at cooking, and every time she was happy, she would stick to her sisters.
There is no concept between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her attitude towards Wang Xiulian has always been treated as a sister, so when she received a gentle response, she hugged people almost subconsciously.
When she reacted wrongly, she didn't want to let go immediately, which made people think about it a lot, so she could only continue to rub it before letting go of her hand.
"Then you wait for me to come back! The ox cart should be coming soon, I'll go first! ”
Gu Xiaoxiao picked up her backpack and hurriedly walked out.
Wang Xiulian went from being frightened at the beginning, to gradually becoming shy, and then she blushed happily directly, and when she turned her brain, the person was gone.
She hurried out, leaning against the door frame and staring at the figure.
Gu Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw someone coming out, she raised her hand and waved.
"Get inside! It's humid outside! Don't forget to drink the medicine! ”
The hand that grasped the door frame stiffly lifted it up, and learned to wave it.
"Mother-in-law, slow down! I'm waiting for you to come back! ”
The bell of the ox cart came melodiously.
Gu Xiaoxiao quickened her pace, and her figure disappeared into the thick fog.
Seeing the figure leave, Wang Xiulian clasped her hands in front of her chest, the joy in her heart was about to overflow, there was an irrepressible smile on her face, and her toes were put down and put down.
Mother-in-law, really treat her very well!
Even if it's only temporary, she's willing to sink.
......
Hand over a copper plate as usual, and Gu Xiaoxiao got into the ox cart.
There were only three or four people on the ox cart, which was different from the last time it was overcrowded.
Come to think of it, the big guys have been busy harvesting rice and drying millet recently, and then they are just thinking about paying taxes, so how can they have spare time to go to the town.
A few people in the car found a corner to sit by, their heads bowed and their hands were held, no one spoke, and the bitterness on their faces was about to turn into substance.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at a few people, and her chest was slightly bulging.
I suddenly had a plan in my heart, I'm afraid that this is the town where I want to go as jewelry.
In the silent atmosphere, the ox cart gradually drove towards Qingyang Town.
Getting off the bus at the head of the town, Gu Xiaoxiao looked around, and there were unexpectedly many people who came to the market today.
Bustling streets, crowds of people coming and going.
The noodle stall at the entrance of the alley on the street was still there, so she walked over and sat down and asked for a bowl of beef noodles as usual.
After a while, steaming noodles were served.
There were a few green onions floating on it, and a faint aroma wafted into the nose.
After sitting in an ox cart for two or three hours, Gu Xiaoxiao was so hungry that she smoked a pair of chopsticks and ate happily.
After eating, put three copper plates on the table.
"Boss, the money is here."
"Slow down!"
Gu Xiaoxiao stood on the street, searched in the memory of the original body, and then walked in one direction.
The letters sent from outside to the surrounding towns were all sent to the official post station in the town, and the post station only had a small window, which was similar to the size of the bank counter window in her previous life.
It was sealed all around, and a young man was sitting inside.
There wasn't much outside.
"Little brother, I want to ask if there is a letter from Lin Dabao?"
The young man had a face with a Chinese character, and said upright and modestly: "Auntie, you wait a while, I'll go and show you." ”
With that, he got up and went to the cabinet in the row behind him to look for it.
Gu Xiaoxiao: "...... Okay. ”
Aunt......
After a stick of incense, the young man came over with a package wrapped in brown paper, "Auntie, you just said Lin Dabao, right?" ”
"yes, yes."
"We have to make a registration, what's your name, which township? Who is he? ”
"My name is Zhao Xiaoxiao, I live in the Lin family at the end of the village in Shanao Village, and Lin Dabao who sent the mail is my son."
The young man held on to the brush, lowered his head and wrote them down one by one on a notepad, and then blew the ink stains, reading: "Lin Zhao's Xiaoxiao, the end of the village of Shanao Village, the mother of Lin Dabao, right?" ”
"That's right."
"Okay, this is what your son sent you." The young man probed and handed over the things, and did not forget to whisper: "There is money in it, the town has been restless recently, auntie, you should be careful." ”
"Okay, thanks for the reminder."
Gu Xiaoxiao took the package, found a secluded corner, and opened the kraft paper outside, there were three things inside.
A slightly inferior round jewelry box, a letter, a gray cloth money bag.
Open letter, two pages.
Reading the first half of the first part, there is a concern for her between the lines.
From the second half, it can be seen that Lin Dabao is doing well in Hutou Commercial Bank, and he also made it clear that the dock of Hutou Commercial Bank is settled once every ten days, and he is very happy to give money.
Because of his good performance and literacy, he was quite concerned and supported by the steward.
He also said that he no longer did hard work, but learned to settle accounts under the steward.
On the second page of the letter, he greeted the second elder of the Lin family and his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't care about Wang Xiulian's words at all.
Put the letter away and put it in the placket.
The money bag was also hidden in the hidden pocket of the underwear, and then the wooden box was opened, and there was a white round jade lying inside, and there was a small note under it.
"The Buddha monk has opened the light, and the jade generation has blessed Niang'an."
This kid really refuses to admit Xiulian, this jade that has bloomed is not given to the daughter-in-law who is about to give birth, but to her, a mother with a good body.
It's really hard to know what to say......
Holding the jade in her hand and looking at it, Gu Xiaoxiao sighed, put the jade and the letter together, turned around and walked out of the alley.
I happened to see a stall at the end of the street.
She paused for a moment before heading back to the stall.
"How much does it cost to write a letter?"
"Five cents, no bargaining."
