Chapter 164 A letter from home is worth ten thousand dollars
As soon as she got home, Liu Jingxue couldn't wait to stretch out her evil little hands towards the pig-killing dish.
This dish is a famous Northeastern delicacy. She has never eaten it before. She didn't expect to be able to enjoy it today.
The taste of the pig-killing dish is rich and delicious. The pork is tender and juicy, the sauerkraut is sweet and sour, the blood sausage is soft and tender, and the vermicelli has absorbed the umami flavor of the soup, which increases people's appetite.
It’s just a pity that this is wild boar meat, and the taste is a little worse than that of domestic pork. If it were replaced with domestic pork, it would be perfect.
Now Liu Jingxue doesn’t think her basin is too big. She even regrets not getting a bigger basin.
Thinking that there might be nothing to eat in the cowshed, she took out a bowl for herself and put the rest aside so that she could send it to the cowshed in the evening.
Liu Jingxue took out two bowls of rice from the space and ate them with the pig-killing dishes until she was full.
Thinking of the big fat pigs in her space, Liu Jingxue said to herself,
"It seems that I have to ask Aunt Sufen for advice on how to make the pig-killing dish, so that I can satisfy my craving in the future."
After dark, Liu Jingxue brought a few pounds of wild boar meat, mutton and venison, carried a basket of herbs, and brought some pig-killing dishes to the cowshed.
As for the two sheep and deer that had crossed the open road to the cowshed, Liu Jingxue had already dealt with them with her mind in the space and stored them in the warehouse.
Seeing her come in, Wang Xiulan pulled her over and said, "Xiaoxue, you encountered those wild boars today. Are you not injured?"
Although Liu Weihua repeatedly assured her after returning from the well that Liu Jingxue was not injured, Wang Xiulan was still a little worried because she had not seen it with her own eyes.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm fine." She looked at Liu Weihua suspiciously. "Uncle, didn't I tell you? Didn't you tell Auntie?"
Wang Xiulan quickly explained for Liu Weihua, "Your uncle told me, but I thought you killed so many wild boars and nothing happened, so I couldn't believe it.
You have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease.”
"Aunt, I really didn't lie to you. I'm really fine."
Liu Jingxue talked for a long time and even let Wang Xiulan verify it with her own eyes, which made her believe that she was not injured.
After being comforted by Liu Jingxue, Wang Xiulan finally paid attention to the things Liu Jingxue brought.
"Xiaoxue, you can just eat this pig-killing dish yourself. Why send it to us?" Wang Xiulan said, looking at the big bowl of pig-killing dish.
"Aunt, let me tell you, this pig-killing dish is delicious.
I brought it to you because I thought you had nothing to eat."
Liu Weihua said, "The team leader said that we have worked hard during the autumn harvest, so he sent us pig slaughtering dishes, wild boar meat and bones.
We have already eaten tonight, you can take these back and eat them yourself."
How could Liu Jingxue take back something that she had already taken?
"The wild boar meat in the team has been distributed long ago, and the bones have been exchanged by the villagers for work points. I guess the captain didn't give you much.
I distributed more than 50 kilograms of wild boar meat, not much more than you.
There is also mutton and venison, a whole head of meat, which I have not divided up. I have plenty of it.
How much can I eat by myself? Just keep what I give you."
Worried that they would be reluctant to eat it, Liu Jingxue pickled it into bacon for later consumption. She quickly instructed,
Aunt, don't think about pickling this meat and eating it slowly later. I'm giving it to you to eat over the next two days.
The meat is still fresh and delicious.
I have a lot of meat over there, but it won't last long in this weather, so I plan to pickle it and make bacon, and then send it to you after the heavy snow."
"Don't stay here any longer. When the Red Guards come, they will find you and it will be an easy opportunity for them," Liu Jingxue threatened.
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she quickly said, "Xiaoxue, I understand. I'll cook all the meat in the next few days."
Old man Wu at the side smacked his lips and said, "Since Xiaoxue came, I feel that my days of being sent down here are much more comfortable than before.
At least before in the city, it was not easy to eat meat, but now I can eat meat of different varieties in big bites.
I feel like I don’t crave meat anymore.
This life is like a fairyland."
Several people laughed when they heard it.
Liu Jingxue didn't plan to stay here for long. After practicing for this period of time, she was just one step away from reaching the third level of Qi training.
She planned to enter the space tonight and activate the spirit gathering array that she hadn't used for a long time to practice, so as to break through the third level of Qi training.
"Uncle, have you finished writing your letter?
I plan to go to town early tomorrow morning and send it to my brother and his family."
Liu Weihua took out the letter he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to her.
“I’ve already prepared it.
One is for your eldest brother and his friends, and the other is for you to pass the other one on to Old Xie.
The names are written on it, your elder brother will understand it at a glance."
"Please put it inside the package and send it separately." Liu Weihua couldn't help but remind him.
"Don't worry, uncle. I was planning to put it inside the package and send it over."
Liu Jingxue glanced at Grandpa Zou and Grandpa Wu standing beside her and saw that there was something wrong with their expressions.
I was a little confused at first, but then I thought, the two of them, and one son’s entire family were sent down to the countryside, and no one knew where they had gone.
It is said that another one also severed ties with his daughter's family in order not to implicate his daughter.
Seeing that my uncle is now able to contact his son, I can't help but feel sad when I think of myself.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Zou, Grandpa Wu, is there anyone you two want to contact?
If so, I can also help you post the letter.
If you are worried about being discovered, I can also help you send a package and put the letter inside. "
Hearing this, Old Man Wu was somewhat tempted, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Xiaoxue, it's better not to.
You have helped me enough, I cannot cause you any more trouble."
"Grandpa Wu, it's okay, I'm just helping to deliver a letter.
If you don't want to be discovered, you don't have to write to them in person.
Tell me the name and address of the person you want to contact, and I can pretend to be their distant relative and write them a letter."
“You’ve been down here for so long, those who were watching you should have relaxed their surveillance.
Besides, even if they monitor them, it is impossible for them to check all their correspondence.
It doesn't matter if you check. I won't mention you in the letter. I'll just hint that you're doing well.
You must have some things that others don’t know about, which can make me trust them.”
After hearing this, Old Man Wu was even more moved, but he still didn't want to cause trouble for Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, let me think about it carefully."
"What about you, Grandpa Zou?" Liu Jingxue asked Mr. Zou again.
Mr. Zou thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxue, there's no need for a letter. Please send a telegram for me with just three words: 'Zidanggui'."
After thinking for a long time and not understanding the meaning of these three words, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but frowned and said, "Grandpa Zou, this is nonsense. If that person sees it, does he know what it means?"
Mr. Zou laughed and said, "This is the code I agreed with someone early in the morning.
Firstly, I wanted to let him know that I was safe and that I was doing fine and asked him not to worry.
Secondly, I asked him to help me find out where my son's family is.
If he finds out and sees this telegram, he will try to contact you."
“The old chief is still smart.
I agreed on a secret code with someone in advance, so others wouldn't know what the content of the telegram meant.
When communicating by telegram, except for the person who receives the telegram and knows that the telegram is registered, other people cannot check which post office sent the telegram without the registered telegram, and then go to the post office that sent the telegram to check the sender's information. "
Liu Jingxue had been to the post office to send a phone call and knew that the third column of the telegram form was to be filled in with the sender's name and contact address.
This information is only used for storage and contact by the sending post office and will not be sent out with the content of the telegram. It is free of charge.
Apart from finding the corresponding post office based on the registered telegram, there is no way to know who the sender is.
After hearing this, Old Man Wu's eyes lit up. Yes, he could also use the telegram method.
But they had not agreed on any secret code before. If the content of the telegram was too straightforward, it would be discovered by others and cause trouble for Xiaoxue.
No, I need to think about it again.
