Chapter 186 A long letter
After getting the mailing address and returning home, I quickly found an envelope and wrote the address. I was still worried after I had written it, so I found a diary and copied the address into it. Then I calmed down and prepared to write a letter to Yuwa'er.
letter.
What to write?
After writing the first few sentences over and over again, I didn’t know what to write. I kept writing, but I couldn’t express what I wanted to say clearly. There was a pile of crumpled waste paper on the floor. Forget it, maybe I was hungry.
Come on. Cook and eat. Only when you are full can you have the strength to write.
After the meal was ready, the brothers came back from school.
Brother Jun: "Brother, why did you prepare the meal so early today?"
Me: "I'm a little hungry today, so I'll cook a little earlier. We'll eat when Xiaojie comes back."
Brother Jun: "Yes. Then I'll do my homework for a while."
After a while, Xiaojie also came back. Everyone hurried to eat.
After eating, I washed the dishes and went upstairs.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, hunched over my box table, I have a lot of thoughts.
I think back when Yuwa'er and I were still elementary school students, I was short and small, and although he was not short, he was very thin. We were good classmates, good friends, and good brothers from elementary school until we graduated from junior high school. This guy, in junior high school, actually
Like bamboo, it grows a lot taller, but I am never in a hurry.
He is tall and handsome, and he is very good at table tennis. He is basically invincible and can beat all the opponents in the school. Several female classmates in our Class B are very fond of him. In addition, there are also female classmates in Class A who seem to like him.
Among these female classmates, two are still "love rivals." One is "Xiao Yu'er" from our class, and the other is "Lili" from Class A. Lili and Xiao Yu'er were jealous and even issued a "challenge"
, there was a "battlefield" in the pear forest. It's really funny when I think about it now! I don't know what is going on with the three of them now, and whether they are still in contact. Although Yuwa'er and I are such good brothers, I don't know it yet.
He really likes that. I feel that Xiao Yu'er and Lili are actually two girls with completely different styles. One is cute and the other is capable. But I don't like it. As for which one I like, I don't know. Maybe it is.
The kind of girl who is quiet and a little wild, right? Unfortunately, such a person does not seem to exist, and I have never met her, or I have no time to cherish her when I meet her.
Let’s get back to reality. Pick up a pen and write a letter.
Brother Yu: Hello! We meet in person. I think back to the last time we met during the winter vacation last year. We each took a watermelon knife and pretended to be a gangster in Xianheba. We agreed to wait until the summer vacation, that is, to have a good time after graduation.
Ha. We went to climb the legendary Long Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea, and Snow Mountain. I didn’t expect that it would be so long since we were apart, almost a year and a half.
I haven’t seen you since I graduated. I heard that you went to Fujian, and I also heard that you went to a machinery factory. I wonder how you are doing? Are you still used to the life there? Oops, you
Look, what I said is not nonsense. I must have gotten used to it. I have been here for almost a year, and even spent the Spring Festival there. Did I meet a girl I like there who is so happy that I don’t want to come back?
?Isn’t it true that when you come back, you will suddenly bring a sister-in-law back to me?
Well, no. You can't be Chen Shimei. If you find a sister-in-law over there, what will happen to Xiao Yu'er and Lili? Do you want to give them to others?
I don’t know what your relationship is like now. But I think Lili likes you a little more. That little fish is cute, but she likes to cry too much. She makes her cry over the smallest things.
I wonder if your work there is going well. Are you used to eating? Can you understand what they say? I guess they speak Hokkien, which is not easy to understand. By the way, how are the wages there? Are meals included?
Covered? Anyway, it should be higher than here in Sichuan, right?
After talking for a long time, I didn’t tell you about my situation. I don’t know how to tell you. I almost became a real farmer when I returned from graduation. From breaking grain, threshing millet, harvesting grass, planting rapeseed, and growing beans,
Planting peas, planting cabbage, planting radishes, raising seedlings, planting grains, planting seedlings... almost all the farm work has been done. The key is that the adults are not at home yet. As you know, they went to Chengdu to work. Pulling pigs
It is also common to raise pigs with grass. Fortunately, I stopped raising them after the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, I would have to cook pig food for the pigs twice a day.
It’s just that after studying, it’s hard to avoid farming and raising pigs like this. I calculated that after working hard for a year, I didn’t have much money left after deducting food and drink expenses. Think about it, if you live like this for the rest of your life,
It was really a chilling and extremely painful thing. Moreover, this kind of crop is very risky! The nasty and despicable hail actually destroyed all the rapeseed I had worked so hard to grow. As a result, I not only had no harvest.
, but also a lot of money. You may not believe it when I tell you. I have learned a lot. A pack of fertilizer usually costs about 80 yuan, but it has increased to more than 120 yuan in just one or two months.
The price reached 130 yuan per pack at the highest level. Think about it, if I had money, I would buy 10,000 yuan per pack when the price is 100 yuan, and give it to the 10000 yuan pack when the price is 120 yuan.
Sell it, hehe, you can easily earn 200,000 yuan. Two hundred thousand yuan! I asked the people who work in the township government, and they said that their monthly salary is only 300 to 400 yuan. At this rate
Putting aside some calculations, it’s only 5,000 yuan a year. 50,000 yuan in ten years. 200,000 yuan, which means it will take almost forty years. Sigh! Think about it: we work at the age of twenty and retire at the age of sixty.
In forty years, in just one or two months, it’s possible for someone else to earn the money that we have worked so hard to earn all our lives. I don’t know if my idea is fantasy or just a dream. But, think about it.
It still feels quite scary.
By the way, I almost forgot to tell you about my exam situation. The day of "Little Golden Flower" was February 22nd. I took part in the graduation recruitment exam for college and technical secondary school students organized by the county. I felt that I did well in the exam.
Okay. But there is no result yet. The situation here is very complicated. It is really like "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers". Some people know that they have been admitted and where they have been assigned. Some people actually know that there are many
I took the exam and recruited many people. I also thought of some ways, but I didn’t know whether the “information” I got was true or false.
People said that more than 200 people took the exam, and 38 were recruited, and I got into the top ten. Don’t be happy yet. When I first heard the news, I was secretly happy for a few days. But
Now I can't be happy anymore.
Why can't I feel happy? I'll tell you. People say that this plan was rejected by the top leaders. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, I don't know why it was rejected. If it's rejected, what will happen? If it's false
, and I still don’t know whether the previous news is true or false. Anyway, I have been having a particularly difficult time during this period, and I am feeling very tormented.
Don't be afraid of your jokes, I'm now at the point where I'm completely broke and penniless. I can't even afford the two yuan for a three-wheel ride. Alas! It's so difficult! Although I comfort myself that "I am born with talents that will be useful," but
The world is so big, where is my place?
I want to wait a little longer, if there is no news until the summer vacation. If you have a job suitable for me, I want to follow you. In this way, the two brothers of us can go crazy and play together again. But first, let’s talk about it.
Okay, I don’t have the fare to come here. I don’t know which route to take. If there is a job suitable for me, please keep an eye out for me. Then, send me the fare first. I’ll come and get it.
I won't pay you back until the first month's salary is paid.
The night is already very late. I have told you so much in a mixed manner. I still haven’t finished what I want to say. It would be great if I had a phone number, so I can call you. But the phone bill is still a little bit high.
It's expensive. I heard long-distance calls cost more than one yuan a minute.
Take care of yourself when you’re out and about! Take care of yourself! If it’s convenient, send me a photo of you when you reply. I don’t even know what you look like now.
Brother: Mu Yi. It’s two o’clock in the morning today.
Wow! It actually filled six densely packed pages. I have never written such a long letter before. Why do I have so many words? It seems that I am really lonely. The loneliness is driving me crazy.
.
I simply folded the letter in half twice, and then carefully put it into the envelope. The envelope was actually bulging. I guess it will be overweight when I send the letter tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
