Lu Miao immediately opened the envelope.
It begins with the three characters "Zhan Xinjia", followed by a series of apologies.
Geng Xiaoyun stated in the letter that most of the school courses involve going out and running around every day.
I am so busy that I feel like I am traveling all over the world. I am very sorry that I only wrote this letter at this time.
Geng Xiaoyun briefly talked about the current study status of himself and his younger brother, and then thanked him repeatedly.
Thank you to Lu Miao for helping her brother get a university place, and also thank Lu Miao for helping her with her studies.
All the elders of the Geng family said that the two siblings have a bright future and encouraged them to move around more often and keep in touch with each other.
A lot of polite and unceremonious words were said.
Geng Xiaoyun said that the parcels were all specialties from his hometown, and asked Lu Miao to watch and share them with his family.
Afterwards, she wrote down the words that she expected Lu Miao to reply to her, and also expressed her apology in advance.
She has been away attending classes, so her replies may not be timely.
I hope Lu Miao doesn’t mind.
......
Lu Miao read the letter and put a few pages of letter paper back into the envelope.
Except for one Gu Ying, she knew she was outside the Beijing Normal University next door.
She didn't know the exact school address of several other old friends.
She was really surprised that Geng Xiaoyun could write to her, and he also sent such a big package...
Looking at the time when the letter was sent, more than half a month had passed, and she didn’t know. Is it broken?
Lu Miao stuffed the letter into the canvas bag and opened the small umbrella.
Carrying the heavy package, I was thinking about replying to the letter and speeding home.
With the experience of the first semester, the registration this time was quite smooth.
Fu Jingyou has a bicycle and gets home before Lu Miao.
When Lu Miao turned out of the alley, she saw the courtyard door wide open, and Fu Jingyou was pulling something with someone.
“No, I won’t practice now.”
“Why don’t you stop? Brother Xiao Fu, aren’t you busy now? They are all neighbors... …”
It seemed like a nearby neighbor came to him to fix something.
Lu Miao stepped on the doorstep: "What's wrong?"
"Sister Fu, you're back just in time!"
When the elder brother in the alley saw Lu Miao, He quickly said:
"Why don't you give me some advice? My radio is broken, and the stall outside said it would cost two yuan to repair it. It may not be possible to repair it..."
The eldest brother's eyes flicked back and forth between the young couple:
"If brother Fu is not busy, can you take the time to help me take a look?"
Lu Miao raised his eyes to look at Fu Jingyou.
He used to help his neighbors in the alley fix things. This time he didn't agree to fix things. It must be because it was really inconvenient.
Lu Miao turned away and politely refused.
The package in his hand was quickly picked up by the man in the family.
Fu Jingyou pursed her thin lips and said loosely:
"Then you can bring it over, but I said yes, I won't repair it in vain. If it is repaired, you will give me two kilograms of rice. . ”
In the past, I could earn money to support my life in the ice factory.
Fixing things for others is just a matter of practicing and accumulating proficiency, so there is no requirement to report anything.
Now the work in the ice factory is gone, and there is no way to make money.
After him, a large family has to live, and he can no longer accept a penny like before...
Two kilograms of rice cost less than fifty cents, but repairs outside cost two yuan!
The big brother in the alley immediately smiled and nodded:
"Okay, okay! No problem, I'll go back and get the radio and I'll bring it to you in a minute!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, moved away from the door, waited for his wife to enter, and then closed the courtyard door.
This matter was not like his usual style. Lu Miao closed his umbrella, bowed and washed his hands by the well and said:
"I thought you didn't have time. Why didn't you give me when you had time?" Repair it?”
“…”
Fu Jingyou was frightened by what happened to Widow Liao in Mao Mao Hutong.
He was worried that some random people would stick around and cause some trouble.
But, can this be mentioned?
Of course not.
Not only could he not say it, Fu Jingyou was worried, but he was also worried that his wife would ask. In the future, I will be able to repair things for others, but I will never come to my door again.
If you want it repaired, send it over.
"No, isn't this the new one who got the textbooks? Before the official class, I thought about leaving some free time to read the books and preview them in advance."
He used to love to study with professional books. , Lu Miao did not become suspicious, waved his hand, nodded and entered the room.
“What’s in this package?”
“Geng Xiaoyun sent it to school, saying it’s a local specialty.”
"Then there must be dried snow clams."
Fu Jingyou put the package on the big table in the main room, unwrapped it and looked at it.
The large cloth parcel contained several tied and sealed brown paper bags.
Lu Miao took it apart one by one and looked at it, and he really guessed it.
Three large packages of dried snow clams, one large package of deer antler slices, and one large package of Codonopsis pilosula slices.
This thing is not given lightly.
Fu Jingyou was holding a paper bag containing deer antler slices and Codonopsis pilosula slices and asked:
“How to eat these?”
“Take two or three slices and soak them in water to drink, or put them in when making soup. Anything is fine.”
Lu Miao was thinking about what would be a suitable gift in return and replied casually.
Fu Jingyou nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Miao didn't notice, so he grabbed a handful and took him away.
Putting away things hastily, Lu Miao went into the room and flipped through a few pieces of letter paper.
I wrote a few pages and tore up a few more, and finally calmed down after writing.
Lu Miao sincerely thanked Geng Xiaoyun in the letter, indicating that the friendship has been realized and that he should not give such expensive things in the future.
Later, she talked about the current situation, and then pulled out a photo of her and her second daughter, Dabao.
It was originally meant to be put into an envelope. After thinking about it again, Lu Miao re-opened the letter paper and added a sentence at the end.
——I look at the situation, gold, can enter.
Lu Miao didn't dare to write too obviously, so he said a few words and sealed the envelope.
She went out to send the letter, and just in time the big brother came to deliver the radio.
Nodding as a greeting, Lu Miao turned to the box.
When he returned from the nearby post office, Fu Jingyou was sitting in the main room and had already unscrewed the small screws and removed the radio casing.
Shi An went to school.
Dabao and Erbao were sleeping with their grandma in the room over there.
They were the only ones in the main room.
Lu Miao sat down across the table in front of Fu Jingyou:
"Brother You, let me discuss something with you."
"Huh?"
"I want to take it Shi'an used the money to make some investments."
There are specialties in Beijing, but compared to what Geng Xiaoyun sent, there is really nothing decent to offer.
Lu Miao had been thinking about this just now.
After much thought, I came up with gold.
No matter what time it is, gold is the most valuable.
In this era, the price of gold is right, and investing in gold is a sure-fire business.
She touched upon Geng Xiaoyun tactfully in her letter. Whether Geng Xiaoyun could realize it or not was up to her.
Now having said that, Lu Miao herself has also had thoughts on this aspect.
Fu Jingyou paused and raised his head.
He frowned slightly and said nothing.
Lu Miao knew what he meant.
I said early on that the money was left for Shi An, they would not touch it, and they could not touch it...
"I want to use this money, not for ourselves, but for the sake of peace."
Lu Miao said sternly:
"Just let the two thousand yuan sit for ten or twenty years." It’s still two thousand yuan in the end.”(End of Chapter)
