Seventy Little Heads

Chapter 52 Letter from afar

This kind of practice of staying in someone else's house, basically, the host's family can't stand it in the end, because their life has been affected, so they have to ignore people, and they feel angry after doing so.

Mrs. Li really didn't expect that the fourth son could really do this, throw people at home, and stay as long as he likes, but there is no one at home.Then who is this acting for?

Mrs. Li was really crying. She knew that since he was separated, this son has become more and more disobedient.And that nasty grandson, from the last food loan incident, it can be seen that the useless son really pawned the house for a ten-year-old child, and she would ignore her crying and making noise.The son has nothing to do with her, she can beat her son, scold her son, and enslave her son vigorously.

But this grandson doesn't care about her at all, and won't let her go at all.I don't care that people suppress him with filial piety, and when they go outside, others will only say that she is more serious with children.

"Mother, I told you earlier, how can the fourth brother have any money? It depends on how poor the family is. He will be worthless all his life."

"What do you know? Mother knows how your fourth brother's situation is, but there is no money, and you have to pay a little for the food. Who is going to cheat when you say that there is no food just after the food is distributed." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li blew her nose loudly. Wipe the thumb and index finger, and flick to the side, almost throwing my sister-in-law.

The little aunt retreated to the side, "Then what should I do now? Do I really want to chase him to the construction site? I want to go to you, I don't want to embarrass myself."

"What are you going to do? Go home." She didn't believe that she couldn't deduct a little bit, it wasn't because she was ruthless, and the son was raised just to give orders.The other sons in the family are not separated. In her opinion, most of the money in the family is managed by herself, and it belongs to the benefits in her own pocket. Of course, she will feel distressed if she pays for it.

He loves his daughter but doesn't want to give his daughter his old money. Apart from talking small things to his daughter-in-law and making them unable to take out their own private house to subsidize their young daughter, he can go to Li Si to see if he can come out a little more.

Who knew that this son was still so useless, living in a dilapidated house, and she even let a child beat him up.There was nothing she could do to slam the door face to face, and even Sapo hanged herself.

Goudan didn't leave too far away at all. Now there are a lot of children, big and small, playing together in the village, and they can find anyone to play with.After the real grain is harvested and handed over to the public, it will be counted as work and grain, and other crops that are not used for the public but have been used as staple food for a long time must be collected one after another.The crops that used to be crowded outside the village have been cut down, exposing the bare land, and at a glance, it looks like the world is vast.

These places are the favorite places for children. They can pick up leaks and catch two grasshoppers to play. Anyway, the world of children is very simple and easy to satisfy.

The most attractive thing is the piles of haystacks, which can be used for a run-up from a distance, and then jump directly into the straw pile without worrying about getting hurt. The stacks are messy.

Goudan saw that time was enough, so he and Wang Xuan delivered food to Li Si. Li Si didn't have to go home to face his mother's embarrassment, and he could come back after dark after part-time work.

In a blink of an eye, the north wind was blowing, and it was getting colder and colder sooner or later, that is, the sun would come out at noon, and those older people would move small stools at noon, or sit in rows or scattered to bask in the sun.The sun in late autumn is dazzling but not too hot, but the air is dry, and if people drink less water, their lips will become chapped.

In the morning, whether you wash your face with cold water or warm water, the skin will be tight after drying, and it will tear when you laugh. After the chapped skin is soaked in clean water, it will be hot and painful.This is because the lack of water has hurt the skin. Those girls and daughters-in-law who are fastidious and able to live can buy themselves a box of Shanghai-made Friendship Moisturizer. .

Buy a box and save it, just apply it on the face, it can be used for a long time.It is cherished and cherished, and it is not easy for others to borrow it.People who want it but can't afford it can only endure the pain caused by dry and cracked skin. Over time, dead skin will form, and the dry dead skin will stick to the epidermis. Like a dirty cat.

The child was even less particular about it. When the snot was wiped with the back of his hand, it stained his face and formed patches of chapped black marks.It looked very pitiful.

Goudan has lived like that in the past, if you ask him to say that the season he hates the most is winter.Not enough to eat and not warm enough to sleep at night, he would curl up and be embedded in his father's arms so that he could sleep, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Wang Xuan has nothing else, as long as he usually collects more raw materials, he can still make a simple moisturizer by himself, but homemade is not convenient after all.Wang Xuan simply bought two boxes from the supply and marketing cooperative. When he felt uncomfortable, he rubbed a little on his face, which made him feel much better. Just a little, it was too fragrant, and Goudan felt that his nose was not so comfortable after smelling it for a long time.At first I was reluctant to smear it and thought it was a bitch, but after being blown by the dry wind, Wang Xuan dug a small lump and used it before he realized the benefits.

When it started to freeze in the morning and the sky was more cloudy than sunny, the village chief came to Goudan's house and brought a message: "This is from the post office of the commune. Yes, it belongs to Goudan? Li Kai is Goudan's name, right? Yes, that's the name, someone mailed something."

Seeing Goudan, the village chief nodded and acknowledged the name, and continued, "It was mailed from Kyoto, and it was said to be a big package. When did you know the people over there?"

Goudan was at a loss, how would I know, "Could it be a mistake?"

"No, look, this is the address of our village in our county, our commune, right? And Li Kai is your name. There are many surnames in our village, but you are the only one named this."

"Then open the letter? Let's see what it says." Wang Xuan suggested cautiously. After all, if it wasn't from Brother Goudan, it would be a little troublesome.

"That's okay, I guess it won't be wrong." The old village head was about to tear the opening of the envelope, but he glanced at Goudan, Goudan nodded, and then tore it open.

"Oh, let me see. Well, little comrade Goudan, hey, it's a letter from Goudan." The village chief slapped his thigh, "Why don't you just write Goudan and accept it."

After hearing this, Goudan snatched the letter directly, and the village chief was taken away as soon as he let go.Goudan jumped to the side to look at it. The village chief pointed to Goudan and said that he would still read it when he was done using it. "Can you see clearly. How about I read it?"

"If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. Anyway, it was written for me, and the left and right are mine."

"What if there is something urgent? You don't care?"

"I have something urgent to write to one of my children, and I don't know anyone in Kyoto."

"Could it be your mother... that's not right, the outsider is said to be from the south."

Goudan pretended he didn't hear it, "I see, thanks to the hard work of the village head, grandpa, I'm going to work in the afternoon, please go and pick it up with the village head."

"He really knows how to make people go." The village head muttered. In fact, he guessed that the most likely thing was that Wang Xuan's father had found out and sent something to the child. After all, he was the most likely person who could write letters to the village in Kyoto.The family is from Kyoto, but he also wrote Goudan's name, which made him puzzled.But this old man is not bad, he didn't open other people's letters casually, some village cadres just like to open other people's letters to read.

Just now Goudan agreed to open it and was quickly snatched away, so he still doesn't know the contents of the letter.

After the village chief left, Goudan and Wang Xuan finished their meal in two or three bites, then jumped onto the kang, took out the letter and read it.The two put their heads together to read the words on it.

When the two studied with Guanzhu, they also knew some characters about what they were studying, traditional characters.But under normal circumstances, they don't recognize many characters.The number of words taught in the first, second and third grades of elementary school is very limited.

Goudan scratched his head, "Zhu...what is he? Oh, Mr. Zhu, say hello, are you talking about old man Zhu? What else is this word?" Goudan scratched his head, "I don't know half of them."

Wang Xuan frowned, "The last word is October 1975, 10, Chen Zhengguo, I know this, could it be that uncle of the People's Liberation Army wrote to you? But why did he write to you?" Chen Zhengguo asked them before In a few situations in the woods, if someone introduced himself and said "I am Chen Zhengguo", Wang Xuan would remember the person's name.

"I don't know either. There are several of us, why did you write to me? Never mind, let's see what that big bag is in the afternoon."

"We write down the characters we don't understand, and go to school to ask the teacher. This person writes such old and difficult characters, and we can't understand them."

Li Si silently put away the dishes and chopsticks. Hearing his son say it was a letter from an uncle of the People's Liberation Army, he felt disappointed and relieved. If he wasn't the child's mother, Goud wouldn't keep thinking of his own mother who ran away with someone.

In the afternoon, Goudan's family went, and the village chief took the certificate and the envelope to the post office to pick up the things.The staff member is a middle-aged woman, and it's no problem to match the words.So he dragged two big snakeskin bags out from the inside, and put them in front of the village chief to show them.

"This, so much?"

"One is quilts, and the other bigger bag is clothes. No, it's written on it."

Indeed, on the snakeskin bag there is a simple writing in big black ink.

The village chief stared at it, this is a good thing, who is so generous to mail this to someone?Seeing that it was getting cold, "God, you kid, who do you know?"

Goudan opened the clothes box directly in the corridor. The clothes inside were not new, but they were washed cleanly. The old parts were mended and folded neatly.It looks like children's clothes.

"This is the clothes I found according to my previous height? But now I have grown taller, this one and this one Wang Xuan are wearing are a bit small."

Goudan gestured at Wang Xuan with his clothes, and then muttered.

"Grandpa Village Chief, take this little one back and give it to Little Leizi and the others."

"Carry it home first, and then pick and choose." Li Si felt embarrassed that he would look at everyone who passed by.
