Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 345 Deng Wanwan Received the Letter

In the past, carriages and horses were slow, and a letter had to travel for a long time on the road before it could be delivered to the recipient.

But in the 80s, the country began to implement postal codes. With postal codes, the efficiency of letter distribution has been greatly improved.

Eight-cent stamps, two-cent envelopes, several pieces of letter paper, and delivery to the mailbox. After being sorted, transported, and delivered by the postal staff, the letter from a small county in Fuzhou arrived at Deng Wanwan’s five days later. hands.

After Deng Wanwan followed Wang Xun to the capital, she worked hard every day, hoping to gain a foothold in the capital. She first followed Wang Xun to go out to collect trash, but found that it was difficult to receive trash without a language barrier.

So Wang Xun took her to learn the capital dialect together. When she was learning the capital dialect, Deng Wanwan took a sack every day and went out to pick up trash.

She found that the life of the people in the capital is very good, and their spirits are also full of vigor. When she walks on the street every day, she can pick up a lot of empty plastic water bottles, waste paper, etc. A few times she was lucky and even picked up A few cents.

While picking up trash, she found that there were many other colleagues, most of whom were foreigners, and they all wanted to make money in the capital.

The rags discarded by the people of the capital are the foundation of their foothold.

Wang Xun was quite speechless when he saw Deng Wanwan who came back with a big bag of rags on his back. He said earnestly, "Wanwan, you don't really think that he took you to the capital to pick up rags, did you? Just pick up a few bags of rags every day like this. What's the point of selling it for a few dollars? Although you can make some money, you won't be able to make a fortune for the rest of your life!"

Deng Wanwan said: "What I picked up today can be sold for ten yuan! It will be a lot in this month!"

She looked quite satisfied and very motivated.

Wang Xun curled his lips, he didn't settle the accounts with Deng Wanwan, otherwise he would have to collect rent and meals from Deng Wanwan.

But Deng Wanwan will help with the cooking, so the meal cost is worth it.

Wang Xun moved a stool and sat beside her, intending to speak clearly.

He said: "You have been here for a month. What do you think of the business of this waste recycling company run by my cousin Lu Yin?"

Deng Wanwan said: "The business is very good. Boss Lu is very good at doing business. The price he charges is one or two cents higher than that of some nearby waste recycling companies. For this one or two cents, many people are willing to travel all the way to bring waste. Sell."

Deng Wanwan felt that she was really lucky. She met Wang Xun on the train, and after arriving in the capital, she met Lu Yin again.

Originally, Wang Xun planned to let her work in Lu Yin's waste recycling company, responsible for collecting waste and keeping accounts every day, but Lu Yin refused, and only asked her to follow Wang Xun to collect waste.

But who knew that when Wang Xun found it difficult to receive the rags, he left his business of collecting rags and quit. He learned the capital dialect every day, and went out to play chess with those old men all day long.

Wang Xun dared to be so leisurely, Deng Wanwan naturally did not dare.

So she followed the example of others and went out with a sack to pick up trash.After a day like this, I can make some money more or less.

Wang Xun continued to ask: "What do you think is the most profitable business of this waste recycling company?"

Deng Wanwan was stunned. She thought about it carefully and then shook her head. She only knew that waste products could make money, but she didn't know what the most profitable thing was.

Wang Xun reminded: "Do you see what my cousin does every day?"

Deng Wanwan's eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Fix electrical appliances!"

Wang Xun looked at her with a childish face and said, "Yes, my cousin is good at repairing electrical appliances and bicycles. These old things are collected at scrap prices, but after repairing, But it can be sold at a high price, and this time, it makes a lot of money.”

"The radios were rusty in our small county, and they were reluctant to throw them away, but the people in the capital lived a good life. Once these things broke, they would either throw them away or sell them for scrap."

"Thanks to this, my cousin got a foothold here. When I was in the county, I was in the building materials business, and the business was doing well, but why did my cousin ask me to come to the capital to collect scraps, and I Come again?"

Wang Xun asked persuasively.

This time, Deng Wanwan shook her head in a daze.

Wang Xun then pointed to some wood randomly piled up on the ground, and said, "What do you think this is?"

Deng Wanwan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Firewood?"

It's not that she doesn't talk about wood, but that the wood looks very old, and it can be used as firewood in the countryside.

When Wang Xun got this answer, he was almost dizzy with anger. After rolling his eyes, he said loudly: "This is golden nanmu! It used to be a precious wood that was only qualified to be used by the royal family! Not long ago, a chess friend of mine told I, an old prince's mansion is about to be demolished, I rushed over immediately after hearing the news, and only then did I buy a batch of wood and bricks!"

"Hey, I went late, and the good things in it have been bought in advance by related people! Only these beams, pillars and bricks are left!"

Wang Xun sighed sadly, wishing that he could be the first to get there and buy some of the furniture inside. Even though most of the furniture had broken arms and legs, as long as it was repaired, it would still be very valuable!

"Wanwan, I think it's better for you not to go out to pick up junk all day long. You are a beautiful little girl, and picking up junk all day is not a big deal. What if...cough cough, I mean, you didn't sell it before. As for clothes, how about you find another job selling clothes?"

Deng Wanwan shook her head. It's not like she didn't think about it. The wages here in the capital must be higher than those in the county, but there's still the same problem, the language barrier!
Although she now learns the capital dialect from Wang Xun every day, the time for studying is limited every day. At other times, she is reluctant to rest and goes to the street to pick up trash.

As for Wang Xun, when he first came, he couldn't speak the capital dialect very well, but after a month, he could already speak decently.

He would go out for a walk every day, chat with nearby residents, play chess, or help others with small favors. Not only did he learn the capital dialect quickly, but he also had good interpersonal relationships.

Deng Wanwan was envious of this, but at the same time she also knew that she couldn't do it.

She is not good at words, and does not like to make friends, she prefers to live in a small comfort zone.

Seeing Deng Wanwan shaking her head, Wang Xun continued: "Then I will give you two more options. One is to learn to repair electrical appliances from my cousin, and the other is to learn from me how to identify antiques and precious wood. Tsk tsk, you are pretty. Liang little girl, I can’t bear to see you picking up rags all day long.”

Deng Wanwan decided to learn to identify antiques and wood from Wang Xun without much thought, but she was still a little worried about her learning ability.

"Can I learn it?" She looked at Wang Xun nervously.

Wang Xun didn't care, and said: "You don't need to study so deeply, just enough is enough. When we first came, my cousin told us to go to Nanluoguxiang to collect trash. At that time, it was a failure. Now, I think it's almost the same." From tomorrow onwards, you will continue to go out with me to collect trash, and you will be responsible for establishing good relations with those old ladies and aunts, and you will do things that are inconvenient for me."

"By the way, when the time comes, I will arrange an identity for you. Let me say that your man is seriously ill and there are two children to support at home. In order to support the family, you followed my cousin to the capital to collect trash, hoping to earn money for the man. Healing illnesses and raising children. Well, that’s probably how it is. Specifically, you have to think carefully about it yourself, and then you’ll have to say something miserable, but you must also show strength. It’s good to be able to arouse the sympathy of others.”

Deng Wanwan was dumbfounded, and murmured, "This...isn't this a lie?"

Wang Xun squinted his eyes and said, "Will you do it or not?"

This method is new to him, and he thinks that playing an emotional card should be of some use.

"Do it!" Deng Wanwan nodded in confirmation without hesitation for a second.

She felt that Wang Xun would not lie to her, and she also wanted to earn more money than picking up junk.

At this time, a postman delivered a letter.

"Deng Wanwan's letter!"

Deng Wanwan was very surprised when she heard her name, but she still went to get the letter.

She looked at the words on the envelope, her heart was beating fast, which was caused by tension and surprise.

"Hey, someone else wrote you a letter? Who is it?" Wang Xun asked curiously, and poked his head to look.

On the envelope, there are two senders, which is different from other letters.

Deng Wanwan's cheeks were flushed, and her voice was distorted with excitement: "It's a letter written by Duomei and Shufang. I didn't expect them to write to me!"

As she spoke, she opened the envelope excitedly with her fingers, and took out a few pieces of letter paper from inside.

The first letter was written by Gao Shufang. In the letter, Gao Shufang apologized to Deng Wanwan, saying that she thought too little at that time and failed to stand on Deng Wanwan's side to think for Deng Wanwan. She accidentally hurt Deng Wanwan, so she wanted to Please Deng Wanwan forgive her.

In addition to apologizing, Gao Shufang wrote some words about missing Deng Wanwan, and mentioned the current situation of the clothing store.

In the end, Gao Shufang explained the process of writing the letter, explaining that she had revised it several times and that she valued the relationship with Deng Wanwan, so she hoped that Deng Wanwan could reply to her letter.

Deng Wanwan's eyes were moist, but there was a smile on her lips.

It was true that Gao Shufang stood by Gao Mingli's side at the beginning, which made her a little sad, but after such a long time, she had already thought about it.

After reading the letter written by Gao Shufang, it was written by Duomi. Manymei's letter was not that long, only one page. It wrote about her recent situation with Gao Mingcheng. Going to find people to find out about her, and the process of going to Deng's hometown to visit her parents.

And also mentioned that Gao Mingcheng had given her salary to her parents.

Finally, I wish her a good life in the capital and earn a lot of money, and hope that she will get together again when she returns to her hometown.

After reading the two letters, the moist eye sockets seemed to be unable to keep tears anymore, turning into teardrops and rolling down from the cheeks.

An emotion of being cared for filled her heart, making her feel warm in this strange foreign land.

At this moment, she had a lot to say in her heart and had a strong desire to reply.

She looked up at Wang Xun behind her, Wang Xun seemed to see through her thoughts, and said, "The letter paper is on the table, you go get it yourself!"

"Hey." Deng Wanwan responded crisply, walking quickly towards the house.

She took the paper and pen and sat down to write a letter.

There were too many things to say in her heart, so she wrote in a hurry and quickly. After finishing writing, she found that the handwriting was illegible and there were many typos.

She thought of Gao Shufang saying that her letter had been revised several times, so she took a new stationery and wrote it again.

Picking up the letter and looking it over carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but after thinking about it, she decided to show the letter to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun has a technical secondary school degree and is the only person she can turn to for help.

Wang Xun was quite enthusiastic about this, and helped Deng Wanwan correct some ill sentences and typos in the letter, and also gave Deng Wanwan advice on how to write the letter.

Just as it was the first time for Gao Shufang to write a letter, it was also the first time for Deng Wanwan to write a letter, and she became very interested in writing a letter.

Being able to communicate with people who were acquainted in the past despite being far away in a different place gave her an outlet to vent her long-logged desire to confide.

Therefore, her letter was very long, and she wrote eloquently about what she saw and heard in the capital.She also wrote about her own recent situation, but the Chinese tradition is to report good things but not bad things, so Deng Wanwan did not write about the bad things, but focused on the fact that the capital was full of gold, and she could earn a lot casually. Money and stuff like that.

When Wang Xun saw this, he asked Deng Wanwan to refine that paragraph. He could say that he was doing well, but there was no need to be too exaggerated, otherwise it would feel like showing off.

Living in the capital is not easy.

Although there are opportunities everywhere here, not everyone can make money here.

Under Wang Xun's guidance, Deng Wanwan wrote it again. This time, the handwriting on the letter paper was beautiful and smooth, and there was almost no problem at all.

She folded the letter quite satisfied and planned to send it to the post office.

Letters are delivered one after another, then sorted, transported, dispatched, and then reach the hands of different people.

While Deng Wanwan's letter was still lying in the mailbox, Gao Mingcheng had already received a letter.

He also has a pen pal, that is Fan Licheng.

Ever since he knew that Fan Licheng was a top student, every time Gao Mingcheng communicated with him, he never forgot to remind him to study hard and wish him good luck in the future.

Then Fan Licheng is a bit interesting, since you told him to study hard, then he will write a few questions for you to teach him.

Gao Mingcheng fell silent when he saw a page full of math problems.

He felt that this little brat Fan Licheng must have learned a lot. Otherwise, how could a primary school student learn such complicated math problems?
Forget about some commonly used words, but math questions...

Gao Mingcheng said that in his previous life, he had already returned his math knowledge to his math teacher!
This life is even more empty-headed!
Except for common calculations and accounting, he doesn't know anything about other question types!

He touched his head. This person who was not good at studying had quite thick hair, which was different from the extremely smart person.

But he has already started to feel anxious. After his son is born, how will he help his son with his homework when his mind is empty?
Is it too late to study now?

Very urgent, wait online!

　Raise a child to be a hundred years old, and worry about 99 years.In the past few days, my son's high fever has not subsided, and he has not been well, which makes me extremely anxious.

　　Then today I found out that my daughter has a double row of teeth. I was very anxious that the teeth would be deformed in the future. I asked the doctor and said that the teeth would have to be extracted.

　　Hey, both the older and younger children have to go to the hospital tomorrow.

　　Well, it's the end of the month, please ask for a comfort monthly pass!
