Chapter 397 Zhou Dahu
On the road from the Red Star Production Brigade to Linshan Town, Zhou Mingxuan was carrying a package and chatting with Zhao Junhao as they walked.
"Mingxuan, why are you thinking of sending something home? It's not a good thing, just some mountain products.
We are not an ordinary family. If we want to eat these, we can just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. Why waste the postage?"
Zhou Mingxuan thought, if I don’t send the things, then how can I get back the letters I wrote and the things Zheng Pengcheng said?
He originally planned to write a letter directly, put it in an envelope and mail it back, but after being reminded by Liu Jingxue, he felt that it was not safe and had to change his method.
Thinking about how Liu Jingxue used to send letters by stuffing them into parcels, he also planned to use this method.
For this purpose, he specially found the aunt who worked with him and exchanged a lot of mountain products, dried mushrooms and dried vegetables.
The things Liu Jingxue had sent to his family before were said by his grandfather and his family to be very delicious, so he thought of making some more for them to show his filial piety, and later sent them some more things.
However, what he didn't know was that most of the things Liu Jingxue had sent over before were produced in the space, contained spiritual energy, and were naturally delicious.
As for whether the things he bought from the villagers would be liked by his grandparents, parents, that is not known.
When Zhao Junhao asked why he wanted to send some mountain products back, Zhou Mingxuan said perfunctorily because he couldn't tell him the real reason.
"I think you can understand how hard the farm work we have been doing these days is.
According to the villagers, even if they work like this, they can't earn much money throughout the year. It's hard to even fill their stomachs, let alone live a comfortable life.
We have never had a hard life since we were young, so we can bear it.
In this case, if I want to live a comfortable life, I definitely need financial support from my family.
But how to manage the financial support for the family is also a science.”
After saying this, Zhou Mingxuan glanced at Zhao Junhao and teased him deliberately.
"Especially for someone like you who ran away secretly and angered your mother, if you can't calm her down and please her, where will the financial support come from?
If you don't let him calm down, even if you play the victim to him, I'm afraid she will say that you asked for it, and she just doesn't want to help you, just to force you to return to the city as soon as possible."
Zhao Junhao couldn't help but shrink his neck when he recalled the second day after he arrived, when he went to town to make a phone call and heard his mother's roar on the phone.
He couldn't help but look at Zhou Mingxuan and ask him for advice, "So how do you think I can calm my mother down?
Mingxuan, we are good brothers. I will sign up to go to the countryside and come here specially to accompany you.
You can't just stand by and watch him die. You have to give me, your brother, a hand.
You always have a lot of ideas, please tell me how I can calm my mother down."
"This is easy," Zhou Mingxuan raised the package in his hand, "Do you see what I have in my hand?"
"You showed it to me before. It was just some mountain products and dried vegetables. Nothing special."
“Although this thing is not valuable, sending goose feathers from a thousand miles away is a gift of great affection.
You can find some in the production team, exchange them, send them back, and write a letter.
The letter said that you found these things delicious when you ate them here, and thinking that your mother couldn't eat them, you collected some and sent them to your mother.
Write some more corny words to make your mother happy.
For example, when you are eating, you think of your mother and wonder if she has eaten. Then write down some of the food you eat daily.
Talk more about how you miss your mom’s cooking and how you can’t have it anymore.”
“When you first start, write more about missing your mom and so on.
When your mother softens later, write more about your hard daily life here. In short, make her feel soft-hearted and feel sorry for you.
The financial power of your family is in the hands of your mother. If she feels sorry for you, she will have to help you out as soon as possible."
"But I'm suffering here, won't she urge me to go back?" Zhao Junhao was still a little worried.
"Then you can write that although life was a little hard, you were extremely happy, much happier than working that cramped shift in the city.
As long as you earn the work points required by the production team every month, you can use the rest of your time as you like, going up the mountains and down the sea, which is much happier.
But I have to write about these things later. We just got here, and it seems a bit too fake to write about them now."
"In short, I want to let your mother know that although your conditions here are difficult, you are living a happy life.
Also, I miss her very much, and I want to honor her well, and I want to find all the good things within my ability to give her."
"Over time, your mother's anger will dissipate and her love will resurface. You will get financial support and good days will come."
Zhao Junhao gave Zhou Mingxuan a thumbs up and said, "You are still taller.
But I didn’t prepare anything today, nor did I write a letter, so I just planned to call.”
As he spoke, he kept looking at the package Zhou Mingxuan was carrying.
Zhou Mingxuan quickly hid the package to the other side and said, "I'm telling you, I didn't prepare much. Don't think of taking my stuff."
"Prepare your things and write the letter after you go back, and then you can make another trip to mail it back later.
You won't be able to write that cheesy letter in a short while."
“We are still not good brothers.
Give me some, and I'll send it back today. Just say nice things over the phone and please my mom."
Zhou Mingxuan gave him an ambiguous look and said, "Are you sure you can say those cheesy words in a place like a post office, in front of so many people?
This is not at home, there is no eavesdropping.
You saw it the last time I made a phone call, there were a lot of people queuing up to make the call.
If you talk for too long, someone will urge you to talk.”
Zhao Junhao shuddered when he thought about himself saying obscene words in front of so many people, with everyone around him looking at him with contempt.
"Then I'll just write a letter instead of calling.
It's still inconvenient to use a public phone. It would be great if I could find a private phone to call home.
It’s inconvenient to talk about many things when you’re calling from the post office.”
"So, the purpose of our coming to town today is, firstly, to make a phone call home, and secondly, to go to the state-owned restaurant in town to improve our lives.
The third thing is, we should make use of our expertise, get to know more people in the town, develop some personal connections, and see if we can get some glass.
And to find a place where we can call home from now on."
Zhao Junhao thought for a moment and said, "The people who make phone calls at this time are usually government agencies.
It is impossible for a private family to install a telephone unless they have reached a certain level.”
"So, we need to make friends with people on purpose, such as leaders of supply and marketing cooperatives, leaders of state-owned factories, and so on."
Zhou Mingxuan looked at Zhao Junhao and said, "Don't tell me you can't do these things."
Zhao Junhao smiled and said, "Do you think I am my two stubborn brothers or your two straightforward brothers?"
"They can only stay in the army. If they were to move to another place, they would not have achieved what they have today." Zhou Mingxuan said.
"Let's not rush back today. Let's finish what we need to do."
