Beijing, 9:15 a.m.

Lao Lu got up from the chair in the communication room, moved his arms and legs, and began to arrange a wooden shelf for letters and telegrams.

There are still a few letters on it that have not been taken away, and the old road has specially written them down, and when the recipient enters the door after work in the afternoon, he will remind them to let the family take the letter away.

"Bell bell bell ~"

At 9:25, the postman of the post office arrived on time at the COFCO compound communication room on Lao Lu.

"Master Lu, are you idle? Help me out! ”

The delivery man was a young man, grinning and talking to the old man while taking the parcel down from his bicycle.

In fact, there are not a few catties of things in total, he just likes to be blind and poor.

Lao Lu was very familiar with this monkey, and immediately pouted: "Where do you see that I am idle, I am very busy, put down my things and leave quickly!" Don't giggle all day long. ”

"Hey, if you can't be idle here, then there will be no idle place in the entire capital.

It's a day for you to sit and a day to lie down, and it's higher than my monthly salary at the end of the month. Let's not bring such annoying people. ”

The postman handed the parcel through the window of the delivery room, and his mouth was still complaining.

He is in the wind and rain every day, his salary is twenty-two yuan and five yuan a month, and he sits in the communication room to enjoy leisure, and he gets seventy-three yuan and six yuan a month, don't you say it's annoying?

"Eyes red on me? That's easy to do! ”

Lao Lu rolled his eyes, pointed to his left chest and said, "Give you an eye here, and then you can definitely get a hundred yuan when you reach my age." ”

"Okay, okay, I can't beat you," the courier hurried away, muttering: "I just didn't catch up with the good time, or I'll give you a special merit to see"

"You fart! Get out of here! ”

The little courier quickly stepped onto the bicycle and out to the fright.

He likes to tease old guys like Lao Lu and add some motivation to his boring life.

Lao Lu scolded for two sentences and was still angry, muttering to himself while sorting out the letters and parcels.

"Good times? You dare to say that you will give your father and mother a surprise, and then throw you in the pile of dead, and see if you are still not a good time."

Two minutes later, Lao Lu sorted out the letters and parcels, and then wrote the recipient's name on the small blackboard outside the communication room to remind them to pay attention to the receipt.

This compound does not allow the postman to enter, and he will not deliver the letter to the house in the old way, in case it disappears in the private mailbox, doesn't it create a conflict between the neighbors?

In five minutes, Lao Lu finished most of his most important work of the day.

He made a cup of tea, picked up the newspaper he had just arrived, and began to enjoy himself.

The monkey courier was right, the old road job is really idle.

Since he was shot in the chest a few decades ago, Lao Lu's body has been injured, and he has been in a state of "being taken care of".

But if you are idle at work, you will not be able to rise to the position, and this will not come to old age, and you will end up with an errand to watch the door.

But don't look at this errand to watch the door, some people are red-eyed.

Just in the last few months, a man surnamed Mei came to the No. 3 compound next door, feeling that he was older than Lao Lu, and wanted to change with him, so that Lao Lu could go to see No. 3 Courtyard and see No. 1 Courtyard by himself.

Lao Lu picked up a chair and got on the man.

"CNMB, you're old and old, what are you doing? You have sweated for XX, Lao Tzu and I have shed blood!! ”

Although it is the compound of the COFCO system, there are hundreds of families living in the third courtyard, all of whom are grandfathers who are not big or small, and they bring their families and relatives, so the relationship is complicated.

Even if there is nothing bad all day long, but so many people who come down from the battlefield can brag more than you, are you annoying?

And the current No. 1 courtyard of the old road is completely different.

There are a total of ten households and eight families living in it, and "the bigger the official, the less things to do," the two sides basically do not agree,

Usually the old road is very idle, and his share of the New Year's festival is indispensable, you say let him change with Lao Mei, isn't that a stupid hat?

Lao Lu had two cups of strong tea in his stomach, and he was bored with his spirits, and his two eyes were patrolling around on guard.

He is actually in charge of the daytime, and at night there are special security personnel in the compound, so when a mosquito flies over, he also has to see the male and female.

"Stunned~"

A brand new bicycle drove out of the depths of the compound and staggered to the door of the communication room.

The little girl on the bicycle carefully looked at the blackboard twice before getting on the bike again and riding out of the gate of the compound crookedly.

Lao Lu couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl riding a bicycle, riding back and forth on the small street outside the compound.

This girl has just moved in, and I heard that her parents are very capable, but it is obvious that the days of the past few years have been very hard, and she can't even ride a bicycle when she first comes.

[Alas, this child's parents are really, why would a girl get her a 28 bar, is it difficult to buy a 26 phoenix? 】

However, bitter children also have the advantage of being bitter children, that is, they are resilient.

Under the sun in the summer, a ride is two hours, not to mention, there are two sacks on the back seat of the car, and the weight is not less than 100 catties.

This is leg training!

These two little legs are really long, straight, and energetic, just like the hygienists in the army back then.

Wen Leyu rode the bicycle for two hours in one breath, feeling hungry, and then returned to his compound.

When she passed by the door, she unconsciously glanced at the small blackboard again, and felt melancholy.

[It's been a few days, why haven't you written yet? 】

However, in addition to melancholy, Wen Leyu also has some small expectations, he can now carry a hundred catties, and if he practices for a few more days, he is guaranteed to be able to carry Li Ye all over the city.

The old road in the communication room also noticed Wen Leyu's eyes, he really wanted to say to this little girl, and I will send it to you if I have your letter.

But in the end, the old road still didn't talk much, people are harmonious, but people must be measured.

"Tutu Tutu Tu~"

The roar of motorcycles, from the end of the street, quickly approached.

When I looked at it, I found that it was a green knight, and the green motorcycle was abrupt, similar to the German devil in the movie.

This is an expedited telegram courier at the post office.

In the seventies and eighties, there were two kinds of telegrams at the post office, one was the ordinary telegram, which was sent in the morning if you were lucky, delivered in the afternoon, and delivered the next day if you were unlucky.

But the urgent telegram is different, it has a dedicated motorcycle rider to deliver at any time, as long as you are willing to pay, the urgent telegram fee is not as simple as a dime or a dime.

"Squeak~~"

The green motorcycle braked sharply and stopped very handsomely at the door of the communication room on the old road.

Wen Leyu heard the sound of brakes, turned his head to look at the gate of the compound, but unexpectedly, the handlebar shook, and the bicycle suddenly fell to the ground.

Lao Lu saw Wen Leyu fall to the ground, and immediately scolded the courier angrily: "What are you showing off, scaring the child, do you know?" ”

“.”

The postman blinked, not daring to reply.

This year's urgent telegram courier, riding a big motorcycle, wearing goggles, is usually very energetic, and it doesn't matter if he can't do this job.

But the spirit also has a place, and at the gate of this compound, you can't get angry.

"There is an urgent telegram, the delivery is a little urgent, you always take care of it."

The courier handed a telegram to Lao Lu, asked him to sign for it, and left.

It stands to reason that urgent telegrams need to be delivered to individuals, but if he can't get in, he can only hand them over to the old way.

Lao Lu took a look, stretched his head out of the communication room, and shouted to Wen Leyu, who had just helped the car up.

"Girl, your surname is Wen, right? It seems that there is a telegram from your home. ”

Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly parked the bicycle with great difficulty, and then walked back quickly.

took the telegram, the cold little girl, the corners of her mouth suddenly hooked up a slight arc.

[Why are you in such a hurry? Urgent telegrams don't cost much, huh? 】

The resentment and complaining was only for a moment, and then Wen Leyu felt more relief and joy.

I hurriedly pushed the cart home, and only turned on the telegram when I entered my room.

The five-hundred-word telegram appeared in front of Wen Leyu, which surprised her for a long time.

Where is this telegram, you are clearly a letter!

After a few moments, Wen Leyu opened a locked drawer and pulled out a black-leather diary.

On the first page of the diary, a very literary poem was written.

On the second page, there are memoranda of actions from top to bottom.

1: Take him to see Tiananmen Square and visit Houhai.

2: Take him to the National Library, the Beijing Planetarium.

3: Take him to the City God Temple and invite him to eat his favorite snacks. (3 days)

4: Take him to the Friendship Store and give him a small gift. (35 foreign exchange coupons)

6：.

Wen Leyu took out a pen and updated it again under the memo very seriously.

10: Have a good talk with him, don't allow wanton waste, and learn to be frugal.

After writing this article, Wen Leyu was silent for a moment, added a bracket after the word "thrifty", and wrote a few words (knowing that mistakes can be changed, Fang is the eldest husband),

Then Xiao Nizi nodded with satisfaction, smiled again, and locked the black diary again.

After doing all this, Wen Leyu began to read the telegram, and it was strange to say that the moment she got the telegram, she wanted to read it carefully at the gate of the compound.

But after getting my hands on it, I became more and more composed.

[Xiaoyu, I'm really sorry, I went to travel the great rivers and mountains of the motherland some time ago, and I only saw your letter today]

At the beginning of the telegram, he used an unexpected way of addressing Wen Leyu.

You say he's close, right? He calls himself a classmate, you say he is a student! He also calls himself "Xiao Yu". It's very contradictory.

And this kind of petty contradiction is not uncommon in telegrams of four or five hundred words.

Wen Leyu herself didn't notice it, and as the telegram was read, her peaceful state of mind that had just been condensed was like a pool of spring water under the warm wind, rippling slightly.

When he saw the last sentence, Wen Leyu was stunned.

"How does he know I'm 37 feet?"

Wen Leyu is strange not without reason.

Because in the past few years, she and her mother had a very hard time, and the cloth shoes on her feet were all made for her by Mr. Ke.

If this kind of cloth shoes wants to be durable, it must be slightly larger, and the front must be lined with thick cloth or cotton several times.

If it fits perfectly, it may not take a month for Wen Leyu's big toe to break the shoe.

So Wen Leyu is very strange, how did Li Ye see through her 38 shoes, there is a pair of 37 feet?

A faint flush floated on Xiao Nizi's cheeks, like a peach blossom in spring, blooming tenderly.

。。。。。。

"Xiaoyu, are you riding a bicycle again?"

A call at the door woke up Wen Leyu, who had been quiet for a long time.

She hurriedly put the telegram away and went out to the living room.

Teacher Ke was carrying a large bag of things and had just entered the door to change his shoes.

Wen Leyu hurriedly took it and asked casually, "Mom, why did you come back at noon?" ”

Teacher Ke said with a smile: "Today I went to have a meeting outside the Jianguo Gate, and I bought some things by the way, and I will go back in the afternoon." ”

"Oh, then I'll go cook, let's eat tomato egg noodles!"

"No, I bought some cooked food, let's deal with it, you try which of these two pairs of shoes fits first, and I'll take them back and change them when I go back."

Teacher Ke took out two shoe boxes and handed them to Wen Leyu.

Wen Leyu opened it and said in surprise: "High heels? Mom, why did you buy this for me? ”

Teacher Ke said funny: "You still ask me?" Yesterday, when Xiaoqin came over, you stared at the shoes on their feet, why did you forget it today? ”

"I'm just looking"

Wen Leyu muttered a few words in a low voice, and while trying on shoes, a small thing suddenly sounded.

One night a few months ago, at the Erliang store in Qingshui County, Wen Leyu forgot one thing and went back to get it.

Then I heard that Jin Peng, Li Dayong and Li Ye were excitedly discussing what "the charm of high heels",

As a result, yesterday, a friend from a young age came to Wen Leyu, and he wore a pair of beautiful high heels on his feet, and Wen Leyu naturally took a second look.

Teacher Ke, who has always felt that he owes his daughter, saw it in his eyes and bought it back today.

One buy or two pairs, one pair 37, one pair 38.

Wen Leyu tried it separately, and sure enough, it was the most comfortable 37, a little bigger, just not to squeeze his feet.

"You're so tall, 37 shoes are big, it's really rare."

Teacher Ke smiled, put away 38's shoes and prepared to return them, and then saw Wen Leyu's face slightly red.

"What's wrong Xiaoyu, isn't you feeling well?"

"No, it's just a little gasping for the bike."

"Oh~~"

Teacher Ke squinted his eyes and glanced at his daughter, and suddenly asked, "Li Ye has a letter here?" ”

“.”

Wen Leyu, who was not an opponent, was stunned for a second, then smiled and said, "No, there was a telegram." ”

"Oh~~~"

Teacher Ke dragged out the end of the note, which made the girl angry.
