Chapter 12 Family Letters Come From Afar
After returning home, I quickly finished the morning meal, and then came to the woods in front of the house and continued to open the great cause of clearing the martial arts practice grounds.
I don’t know how long it took, Zhang Shulan’s sharp shout came, “Look! That’s them, they’re back!”
Long Jianhua hurried home, carried a basket to the ditch to wash his face, and then quickly walked towards the warehouse.
Witness the miracle...
On the warehouse floor, none of the people in the team went back. At this time, they stood up and looked at Chen Daniu, Chen Lisheng, and Chen Lisheng, who were walking quickly.
All three of them were carrying a load of baskets, and Chen Daniu laughed, "Sold it! Two kilograms of water were deducted."
Zou Shuxian, Wu Guihua and Zhang Shulan quickly greeted each other, took off the baskets on their husbands' shoulders, and followed them silently with tears in their eyes.
Chen Daniu took out a paper bag from his bulging right trousers pocket, waved it over his head, and shouted loudly, "One hundred and thirty-one pounds, two pounds of water, 50 cents and 61 pounds, a total of 72 yuan and 24 yuan."
After that, he quickly handed it to Wang Yuhua, "Sister-in-law, open it and don't miss it." He turned to Long Jianhua, "Jianhua, you have a letter in the basket."
Wang Yuhua really took the money and smashed it in her hand, giggling.
Long Jianhua said thank you and took the letter from Zou Shuxian. It was written by his sister Long Yunyan. Somehow, his nose was sour.
Quickly walk to the side of the warehouse and sit down, grab the corner of the envelope and shake it, slowly tear off a few edges, and take out the letter paper inside.
Expand the letter paper, there is only one page, and it has not been written yet.
"Brother: This is the first time I have written a letter. I am very nervous because I am afraid I can't write well."
This is completely in line with her playful personality, but when I see the second paragraph, it is not the case.
"I heard that you are in the deep mountains and forests, and life is very difficult. Pay attention to eating enough and overcome difficulties with the fearless spirit of the proletariat..."
"You are working, remember to get along with the people and learn from the vast majority of poor and lower-middle peasants. Learn from them..."
After reading these two passages, I felt a little ridiculous, but tears could not help but flow down.
"Brother, the first two paragraphs were read by grandparents and parents. I wrote them all several times."
After reading this, his eyes were blurred and he could no longer see clearly from behind. He stuffed the letter into his pocket, held his head in his hands and slapped on his knees and suppressed his sobs...
"Jianhua, why are you hiding here? After you have divided the money, you are all working together." Zou Shuxian's voice came.
Long Jianhua raised his head and voiced hoarsely, "I'll go and get it later."
"Oh, why are you crying? Is there something wrong at home? Do you want to go back and have a look?"
"It's okay at home, I miss them."
"Oh, it's fine. I'm leaving. Remember to get the money from Brother Lisheng."
Seeing her leaving happily, Long Jianhua rubbed his face a few times quickly, then stood up and walked towards the cheerful crowd.
Chen Lisheng was talking loudly, "It's settled, I'll kill pigs! Those who want meat come early."
"I'll help, I'll need two kilograms of meat and five kilograms of meat to do it." Chen Liqiu hurriedly.
Seeing Long Jianhua appear, Chen Lisheng asked, "Jianhua, do you still want ten kilograms of meat? If you don't want it, come and eat pig blood. You people in the city have never seen pig killing, right?"
Long Jianhua swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Ten pounds are not too much. If I got up early, I will come to see you kill pigs."
Now there are eels and frogs, but there is no pork.
It's a sad day without pork...
Chen Daniu shouted loudly, "Everyone hurry up and go back to have dinner, and continue to pull Houttuynia cordata in the afternoon. When we came back, there were a lot along the way. So we have to go there first in the afternoon and pull back those places first." He stopped, his eyes bulged and he sternly, "Don't talk about Houttuynia cordata everywhere, as this will not be good for everyone."
Everyone went back to their homes with laughter, and Long Jianhua also took his own dollar and sat down at the side of the warehouse. After brewing his mood, he took out the letter paper again and finished reading the letter with tears.
When I saw the last paragraph, a sentence attracted him, "In mid-August, Brother Wenhua will come to your county to deliver goods in the next few days. My parents ask him to bring you some things."
Brother Wenhua is named Pan Wenhua, and he is the next door brother, two years older than Long Jianhua. Pan Wenhua has a good opportunity. He entered the factory after graduating from high school the year before. Last year, he was quickly transferred to the Industrial Bureau Transportation Team through his relationship and became the driver envied by everyone. In July, he officially started his training and has already run through two counties in the province independently.
Long Jianhua is extroverted and decisive. Although his family is very ordinary, he is still very prestigious among his peers in his neighbors and is also loved by his older generation neighbors. Pan Wenhua is quite glutinous and has a strong complementarity with Long Jianhua. In addition, Long Jianhua had a fight for him when he was fourteen years old, so he liked him very much.
Long Jianhua was idle at home for half a month after graduating from high school. As long as Pan Wenhua didn't leave the car, he would take him to the transportation team to play, so he wanted to see how the car drove. Long Jianhua, a person with poor ingredients, also drove Lao Jiefang. In today's society, this is incredible...
In mid-August, it is now the sixth, not far away...
Although the members who worked at work did not go home to cook, there were still people cooking at home, either elderly or children. When Chen Daniu blew the whistle, everyone immediately appeared at the warehouse, the gathering place.
According to the arrangement before the work was finished in the morning, the group of people rushed down the valley ahead with a wave of their hand and went to pick the Houttuynia cordata on the roadside. Unlike in the morning, except for Long Jianhua, the rest were carrying a load of baskets, and there were no bamboo tubes in the basket.
Chen Daniu pulled Long Jianhua to the end and asked softly, "I heard that you are crying, what's wrong?"
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "I received a letter from my sister, Gao Xin."
Chen Daniu patted him on the shoulder, "A letter made you cry, intellectuals are just pretentious. But it's fine... I don't have much Houttuynia cordata, I'll just finish it after I've pulled it."
Long Jianhua was a little surprised, "Didn't you ask what medicinal materials you collect in the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Chen Daniu felt a little embarrassed, "For the first time I just asked about the price of Houttuynia cordata, and for the second time I received so much money, I didn't even think about asking."
"To be honest, I don't know what Chinese medicine is on the mountain, but there are still many grass roots."
Chen Daniu leaned over and pulled it on the side of the road, and a handful of thatch was pulled out, revealing a piece of white roots. "Your this? I know that when I had a fever, my father used this boiled water for me to drink. It was a bit sweet and the effect was good. If this was Chinese medicine, it would be too much. However, it was difficult to dig this thing. If you want to dig it all out, you have to dig it very deep."
"It doesn't have to be dug out all of them. If you dig out all of them, you will be gone next year... However, I think it's better to find those valuable and can grow them, such as honeysuckle and Virgin Fairy. In this way, you can get them for sale at any time."
Chen Daniu did not respond, and after a while he was polite, "After the meal, I found that some guys were carrying baskets and pulling Houttuynia cordata. Is this good?"
This should be for him. Long Jianhua saw Chen Dujuan pulling Houttuynia cordata by the river with a basket next to the warehouse. However, this is a good thing, and he laughed softly, "Every household has an extra income, which should be very good. Adults are in collective work and children earn pocket money, and no one rules are not allowed."
Chen Daniu turned around, raised his hand, then waved it, and laughed, "The intellectual youth is the intellectual youth, and he can see it clearly than me."
