There are also disadvantages to the growth of hearing, listening to the discussions in his ears that are either envious or ridiculed, Li Qing only feels inexplicably ironic.

It was the noble man in the carriage who envied him, and the ridicule was naturally Li Qing, a stupid boy who didn't know what to do.

If you have money and don't pick it up, what is not a fool?

Li Qing shook his head and didn't stop long, but followed the main road and turned into "Yuan Ji Groceries".

Most of the shops in this neighborhood are neighbors, some are tenants, and others are inheriting ancestral property, this "Yuan Ji Groceries" is the latter, which has been operating for generations and has a surplus, which can be regarded as a "rich" family in the old alley.

The Yuan family has a son and a daughter, and their daughter Yuan Qiongzi was Li Qing's classmate in the primary education school.

At that time, Li Qing, as one of the leaders of this small group, was very beautiful, but this scenery was only limited to the scope of the same class, out of this small circle, he was nothing, in the small social level of the primary education school, their group of young boys and girls from the old Hutong Street were still the lowest existence.

"Brother Qing!"

Today is Yuan Qiongzi looking at the store, and when she saw Li Qing, the small and slender facial features of the girl who was originally full of sorrow suddenly stretched out, and her willow-like eyebrows rose slightly, and she hung a touch of joy, "Rare guest, how can you give up my place today?" ”

In the past few years since the death of his parents, Li Qing has lived a chaotic life of reversal of yin and yang in order to survive, and he has no contact with the people around him on weekdays, and has become a ghostly existence.

Yuan Qiongzi is different, seeing the innocence on her face, and even with a somewhat childish smile, Li Qing knows that she has been well protected by her parents over the years, unlike him who has experienced many sinister things in the world.

"Of course, I'm here to take care of your business," Li Qing smiled, he was busy sending the letter in order to join the organization as soon as possible, although he felt some emotion in his heart, but he didn't say more greetings to Yuan Qiongzi, "Help me get five envelopes and five more stamps." ”

Listening to Li Qing's businesslike tone, Yuan Qiongzi's smile froze, but he quickly recovered, turned around and helped Li Qing find the envelope he wanted, and at the same time joked in a relaxed tone: "Brother Qing, how long have you not sent a letter?" Stamps have long been not allowed to be sold, saying that they will be under the control of the post office, and they must go to the store authorized by the post office to buy and sell. ”

As for how to obtain authorization and how to obtain permission, Yuan Qiongzi did not have any further explanation, but he didn't have to think about it to know that no matter how solemn and complicated those provisions were, after they were actually implemented, it was just a matter of words from those people in the post office.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It seems that I have been isolated from the world for too long, when did this happen?" And what did the people at the post office say? ”

In fact, Li Qing didn't just see through anything, but he just relied on the experience of these years to vaguely feel a little bit, and asked a few more words casually.

"At the end of last year, at the beginning of this year, what else can I say, I simply conveyed the instructions, anyway, we ordinary people can't understand or understand those articles."

Yuan Qiongzi pursed her lips and pushed the five envelopes to Li Qing, "Take it, I don't want your money."

Li Qing glanced at her, and was not in a hurry to collect things, and said with a smile: "Something?" You can't just rely on a few envelopes to sell me favors. ”

This thing is something that everyone knows is not worth a few dollars, Li Qing is also joking with her in this sentence, not to say anything else, only to talk about the friendship of his youth, Li Qing can be a qualified listener even if he can't help.

Yuan Qiongzi's eyes darkened, then nodded, looked around, and said, "It's Yuan Ye." ”

Hearing these two words, Li Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and finally only asked: "Brother Yuan Ye, I heard that he is doing a lot of business outside with people?" ”

Ningpu is too small, and any person you meet may bring back a past.

Yuan Ye is the eldest brother with Yuan Qiongzi, when he was in the primary education school, Li Qing fought with him a lot, the reason is probably that Yuan Ye is not used to seeing Li Qing with his sister, and wants to teach Li Qing a lesson as an elder brother.

Yuan Qiongzi smiled bitterly and said, "It's good if that's the case, my brother is ...... He committed an incident, and someone from the police department came last week and said that we were allowed to attend the court as jurors. ”

Li Qing pursed his lips, he had never had a good impression of the police station, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but asked rhetorically: "Why did you think of talking to me about this?" ”

Different from Li Qing, a jobless vagrant in everyone's eyes, Yuan Ye is the pride of his family, because of his successful entrepreneurship, last year the Yuan family was also given a certificate of merit by the Lao Hutong Street Committee, set a benchmark, and awarded Yuan Ye the title of "Ningpu Advanced Youth".

During those days, Yuan Qiongzi's parents were full of spring, and they didn't bargain for groceries, so they were so angry.

Yuan Qiongzi's face showed a sad expression, she lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at Li Qing's eyes, and muttered to explain, when a voice suddenly came from the inner room.

"Qiongzi? Who are you talking to? ”

The curtain used as a partition was lifted, and a middle-aged woman with a haggard face and yellow hair walked out from behind the curtain, and when she saw Li Qing in front of the counter, she immediately frowned, and without waiting for Yuan Qiongzi to answer, she reprimanded sharply:

"You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you spread the ugliness of the family casually? What's the use of you telling him that? Don't you think our family has lost enough face? ”

There is no need to look back, Li Qing also knows who the owner of this voice is, it is Yuan Qiongzi's mother, also surnamed Li.

He didn't want to waste his words, so he grabbed the envelope in Yuan Qiongzi's hand before she could react, left the five-corner banknote and walked towards the door.

"Mom......" Yuan Qiongzi couldn't take care of Li Qing at this time, raised her head, and before she could speak, she was glared back by a middle-aged woman.

"Do you see that kid surnamed Li now? Ignore you? Last year, if you had listened to me and your father and agreed to marry the son of the senior director, you wouldn't be like this, and you wouldn't even know who to ask for help, your brother ......."

The increase in hearing is really not a good thing, out of the door of the grocery store, Li Qing can still hear the chatter and reprimand from behind.

Like Yuan Ye, Yuan Qiongzi's parents have always blamed Li Qing for their daughter's poor academic performance, thinking that he influenced their own girl, causing Yuan Qiongzi to not be admitted to a higher school like her brother Yuan Ye and be a promising child.

Li Qing can understand the feelings of Yuan Qiongzi's family, but this does not mean that he has the obligation to listen to the complaints of the Li family who first pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and then named and named.

"If you can, you can help." Li Qing sighed secretly, for his barren life, the days in primary education school were indeed the most memorable time.

Naturally, what is worth remembering is not the interesting or uninteresting schoolwork, but the people who have been in the purpose one by one, Yuan Qiongzi, is naturally counted as one.

Li Qing did not break the bank to take the carriage, but relied on his extraordinary foot strength to go all the way to the post office, not because he wanted to test anything on a whim, but if he made a carriage, he was worried that he would not have the money to pay for the postage.

Since the promulgation of the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Postage Stamps (for Trial Implementation)," the stamp has also become a monopoly business with plenty of oil and water.

Even in Ningpu, which is located in the border area and is economically backward, the façade of the public institution is still very magnificent, with a vertical signboard with a dark green background, on which the bright yellow book is used to "Yugoslav Post" five big characters with a strong artistic atmosphere, it is said that this is the handwriting of a big man in the Yugoslav Federation, of course, I just don't know how many times it has been rubbed and printed.

A total of thirteen windows were opened on the first floor of the post office, but only seven were really open, looking at the long queue in front of the No. 7 window, Li Qing did not hesitate at all, and chose the deserted No. 4 window.

Compared with Xiao Jin's reminder, the boring waiting in line made Li Qing feel unbearable.

"Send a letter." Li Qing handed the stamped envelope to the window.

The postal service staff in the window was a Sven girl with glasses, she did not pick up the envelope handed by Li Qing, but looked at Li Qing suspiciously, and reminded loudly: "Sir, this is the postal membership window, do you have a membership card?" ”

In fact, the postal members of Ningpu County and may come to the post office in person, before going to work, Sven Girl has long remembered the appearance of these people, which is the homework that must be done before taking up the No. 4 window service staff.

"This ......" Li Qing was suddenly embarrassed, and followed the long dragon path on both sides to the No. 4 window, Li Qing received a lot of attention, but he didn't want to wait for himself to be such a scene of social death.

I should have fled into the shadows immediately, no, if I did, the front page of the newspaper tomorrow would be "Paranormal Incident in the Post Office...... Li Qing maintained his initial calm appearance and said, "This letter will be sent to the Fuyong City Public Security Bureau and sent to Ms. Xiao Jin. ”

Looking at the inexplicable look on the face of the Sven girl in the window, Li Qing lamented in his heart, it was really a day of social death......

Just when Li Qing was ready to silently retreat to the end of the line at the seventh window, his hand suddenly lightened, and a palm with age spots took the letter.

"The postage is ten yuan, and it does not support payment."
