Chapter 230 Sending a Package to Mr. Zhang
Before Liu Jingxue was about to go home, she remembered that she had not taken out the radio in her pocket.
She quickly got off the bed, put on her shoes, picked up the military coat hanging on the hanger beside her, and took out the radio and batteries from both pockets.
"Grandpas, uncles, and aunts, I thought you would be bored at home during the winter, so I bought you a radio.
When you have nothing to do, just listen to the radio to kill time. "
As she spoke, she placed the radio and batteries on the kang beside her.
Several people looked at the brand new radio on the table and were very excited.
But Zou thought about it and refused, "Xiaoxue, you should keep this for yourself.
There are four of us here, so at least we have someone to talk to and help relieve boredom.
Wouldn't it be more boring for you to be alone over there? "
When others heard this, they realized it was true.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, you should keep it for yourself." Wang Xiulan said, picking up the radio on the table and wanting to return it.
Liu Jingxue quickly stopped her, "Aunt, I bought this especially for you.
Besides, I won’t be bored there alone.
I have a pile of books to read, medicine making and martial arts to practice, so I don't have time to listen to this.
This thing is not expensive, only 45 yuan per piece. If I want to listen to it myself, I can just buy another one. "
"Child, although this thing is not expensive, tickets are hard to come by, and it's not that easy to buy another one," said Wang Xiulan.
Liu Jingxue said half-seriously, "This ticket is really not hard to come by. Where do you think this ticket came from?
I went to town today and brought some meat to the lady at the post office. She gave me cigarette coupons, radio coupons, and some extra money.
My elder sister said that whenever I get any meat, I can ask her to exchange it for tickets. No matter what kind of tickets they are, she can get them for me.
Bicycles, radios, sewing machines, watches, tickets are all fine.”
Liu Jingxue deliberately asked Wang Xiulan, "Aunt, how about I ask her to exchange a sewing ticket for me and buy you a sewing machine.
Otherwise, you will have to go to work in the future and make clothes for so many people, and I can't help you at all, so you will be exhausted."
“Come on, if we buy that thing, we can’t keep it here.
Even if I give it to you, I can't use it.
Besides, if you buy a sewing machine and the villagers know about it, the women in the village will come to borrow it every day, and you will have no peace in the future." Wang Xiulan hurriedly stopped him.
Mr. Wu said, "You can't buy a sewing machine, but you can buy a bicycle.
We are not close to town, and Xiaoxue is exhausted from going back and forth to pick up and send packages.
It will be convenient to go to town after buying a bicycle.”
I already have several bicycles in my own space, so why would I need to buy another one?
Liu Jingxue quickly objected, "It's better not to buy a bicycle.
There is only one bicycle for the team leader in our production team. It would be too conspicuous if I bought one.
Although I am not afraid of thieves, I am afraid of others borrowing it.
We are all from the same village, so it will be difficult for me to refuse.
But if I open this loophole, I'm afraid that villagers will come to borrow my bicycle whenever they want, and then my bicycle will become public property.
I only go to town a few times a month, and there are ox carts in the village. I will buy a tractor next year, so there is no need to buy a bicycle."
After hearing this, several people realized that if they bought a bicycle, the situation Liu Jingxue described might really happen.
“Okay, don’t buy the bicycle.
We will keep this radio." Mr. Zou made the decision.
"Then I'll go back first, you guys go to bed early."
After saying goodbye to a few people, Liu Jingxue got dressed, put on the backpack containing the things Grandpa Zhang gave her, and took the empty basin and went home.
In the next few days, Liu Jingxue practiced in the space.
In my spare time, I use the time formation to dry and smoke the marinated meat.
It was sunny outside, the snow had stopped long ago and the accumulated snow had melted.
Liu Jingxue packed some pine nuts, hazelnuts, dried mushrooms, cured fish, cured wild boar meat, cured pork, cured mutton, cured venison, cured chicken, cured duck, dried vegetables, bean curd, bean curd skin, dried fruits made from fruits produced in the Northeast, and a 200-year-old ginseng, intending to send them to Grandpa Zhang.
There is also the medicine that I promised to send to Grandpa Zhang. That is also indispensable, after all, we are still waiting for his help to test the efficacy of the medicine.
Bean curd sheets and tofu skin are both made by Liu Jingxue in the space.
Ever since Tiedan took her to find Old Xie's family, who made tofu in the team, she had gone to her house in secret for several mornings to learn the craft of making tofu.
By the way, I also learned how to make yuba and bean curd skin.
In fact, making tofu, bean curd sheets and bean skin is simple. She learned how to make them after two days of learning from others.
The reason why it took so many days was mainly to find out how the brine for tofu was made.
Fortunately, her hard work paid off and she finally learned it secretly.
After trying several times in the space, she successfully made tofu and also got a lot of bean curd sheets and bean skin, which she stored in the warehouse to eat slowly later.
I sent so many things to Grandpa Zhang this time because he gave me too much.
That woolen coat and those small leather shoes would cost more than a hundred yuan to buy just two items at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When she came back and counted the roll of banknotes that Grandpa Zou had stuffed in her hand, she found there were five hundred yuan in it, and more than a hundred kilograms of food coupons.
Not to mention other things.
Not to mention that she had to establish a good relationship with Grandpa Zhang, even if it was just for the sake of returning the gift, she had to send a lot.
What's more, the things she sent over were either brought from the mountains or produced in the space, so they didn't cost any money at all.
In other words, ginseng is a little more valuable, but to her, it is just like cabbage, so she doesn't feel bad about giving it away.
Grandpa Zou also said that the people who were investigating Li Jie came so quickly that they didn't send anyone to investigate her identity first. It was Grandpa Zhang who guaranteed her.
If those people investigated, I would not be able to hide the relationship between me and my uncle and aunt, and I might get into trouble.
Grandpa Zhang took all these risks.
It is only right to give him more gifts.
After packing the package to Grandpa Zhang, Liu Jingxue wrote another letter to Aunt Wu, in which she mixed up some things that happened between Aunt Wu and her mother.
These were the little secrets between father and daughter that Grandpa Wu had told her.
I hope that after reading this letter, Aunt Wu can guess that this letter was written at the instruction of Grandpa Wu and understand her intention.
After preparing everything, Liu Jingxue went to the cowshed in the evening and showed the letter she wrote to Aunt Wu to Grandpa Wu for review.
I also gave my aunt a 100-year-old ginseng.
While Grandpa Wu was reading the letter, Liu Jingxue asked Mr. Zou who was standing beside her,
"Grandpa Zou, have you finished writing your letter?
If you have finished writing it, put it in the package I prepared for Grandpa Zhang and I will mail it out tomorrow."
"I've already written it and was just waiting for you to pick it up." Mr. Zou said as he stood up and fumbled around the wall for a long time before handing Liu Jingxue two letters.
"One is for your Grandpa Zhang, and the other is for him to pass on to your Uncle Zou."
Mr. Zou was very curious about what Liu Jingxue had prepared for Mr. Zhang, so he asked.
"It's nothing much, just oranges, hazelnuts, dried vegetables, bacon, bean curd, and a ginseng," Liu Jingxue replied.
Wang Xiulan asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, where do you get the tofu skin?"
"I exchanged it with the Xie family who make tofu in the village," Liu Jingxue replied.
She dared to say this because she was sure that her aunt would not ask the Xie family.
However, to be on the safe side, she still went to the Xie family to exchange some to avoid being exposed.
Remembering that she had not sent tofu to the cowshed, she said quickly, "I will go to them in a couple of days to exchange some tofu, bean curd skin, and bean curd sticks for you."
"Just eat it by yourself. You sent a lot of vegetables and dried vegetables to our side, which is enough for us to eat." Wang Xiulan said quickly.
Liu Jingxue said without question, "Tofu and bean curd cooked with meat are delicious.
This thing is not expensive and you can exchange a lot of it using soybeans.
That `s a deal. "
The next morning, Liu Jingxue went to the town to mail letters and packages.
This time she didn't bring any meat for Sister Jin. After all, it had only been a few days, and she couldn't give her the feeling that it was easy for her to get meat.
Even before letting her check the package, she put some of the bacon into the space. After she finished checking, she put the bacon back in and quickly sealed it.
