Chapter 170 Envelope
That day, Xu Xiufang looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and made a decision in her heart.
"Mom is going to the county town to do some things. I want you two to help me take care of my sister. Is that okay?"
Her voice was gentle with a hint of anticipation.
Hearing this, Dabao put down the toy in his hand, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and understanding, "Mom, are you going to buy a book for me?"
Xu Xiufang shook her head gently, with a gentle smile on her lips, "No, it's your uncle who is getting married, and mom wants to pick out some wedding gifts to send to him."
"Ok."
Dabao nodded sensibly, and then added with concern, "Mom, it's cold outside and it's snowing. You are most afraid of the cold, so remember to wear more clothes and be careful when riding a bike. Come back early after buying things. There's no rush for the books, I still have several books to read."
Xu Xiufang felt warm in her heart and agreed repeatedly, her eyes full of relief.
At the dining table, Xiao Bao was enjoying his breakfast. Hearing this, he looked up and said in a childish voice with a hint of innocence, "It would be nice if Daddy was at home. Daddy is not afraid of the cold, so I can ask Daddy to buy something for my uncle."
Xu Xiufang gently stroked Xiaobao's head, with a hint of yearning in her eyes. "Dad works very hard, too. We should understand him. Shopping is a small matter that mom can handle by herself."
As the New Year approaches, the transport team that Xie Yi is in becomes increasingly busy. He leaves early and returns late every day, and he has not returned home for five days.
On winter nights, the wind was cold and biting, and Xu Xiufang was always worried about his safety while driving in the dark.
Xiao Bao pouted, looking a little aggrieved, "But Dad said that he is a man and is strong, so he should take on more responsibilities."
"A strong body needs rest, and dad is not an iron man."
Xu Xiufang explained patiently, but a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
Xiaobao nodded, not quite understanding, "Then my brother and I will help Dad share more of the burden in the future!"
Xu Xiufang burst out laughing. As for the fact that she could also share the burden of the family, she chose to remain silent.
She then turned her gaze to Xiao Bao, "So what are your plans?"
"When I grow up, I want to help my dad too!"
There was a determined light in Xiaobao's eyes.
Xu Xiufang was amused and was about to say something when she found that Erbao was missing.
When she walked into the room, she saw Erbao working at his desk with his head down, the tip of his pen jumping on the letter paper. He looked so focused, even more serious than her.
When the letter paper was running out, he took out new one and continued writing.
In the end, a letter that was thicker than expected was completed.
Erbao carefully smoothed the letter, put it carefully into the envelope, and then handed it to his mother solemnly.
Xu Xiufang took the heavy envelope, with mixed emotions in her heart.
Erbao earnestly reminded her: "Mom, you must keep it well and don't lose it. Everything I said to my uncle is in it!"
Xu Xiufang patted Erbao's head in a serious manner, but her heart was full of warmth. "Don't worry, go eat quickly, I'll keep it warm in the pot for you."
Erbao giggled and ran to the kitchen.
Afterwards, Xu Xiufang set off for the county town, carrying an envelope containing the children's thoughts.
Since Xie Yi's bicycle was not there, she chose to take Uncle Niu's ox cart and slowly drove to her destination.
The streets of the county town were covered with fresh snow, and every step made a crisp sound.
The post office was just ahead, and Xu Xiufang quickened her pace, her heart full of beautiful expectations for the future.
In order to facilitate her travel, she specially chose a light but sturdy bamboo backpack and carried it on her shoulders, planning to use her magical spatial ability to transfer the carefully selected gifts into the basket silently one by one, so that once she arrived at the post office, she could complete the mailing quickly without having to stay for too long.
The streets are crowded with people, each of them walking hurriedly with their own purpose in mind.
The same was true for Xu Xiufang. Her mind was completely focused on the upcoming mailing task. She ignored the faces and stories of the people around her and walked quickly towards the post office.
The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto her body, adding a bit of warmth to this winter morning.
Under an old locust tree not far from the post office, two tall men were standing silently, their figures particularly eye-catching under the shade of the tree.
These two people were Xie Yi and Feng Dongling.
After several days of hard work, Xie Yi was finally able to leave work early today and enjoy this rare leisure time.
I originally planned to return directly to that warm little home, but unexpectedly I met Xie Chunyan on the way back.
Xie Chunyan was on vacation and was preparing to embark on a journey home with great anticipation. On the way, she wanted to stop by the post office to send a letter of longing to her friend far away.
Out of love for his sister, Xie Yi decided to accompany Xie Chunyan home without hesitation.
And Feng Dongling, the young man who always tried to show himself in front of Xie Chunyan, quietly followed their pace under the name of Xie Yi, thinking in his heart how to leave a deeper impression in Xie Chunyan's heart.
Feng Dongling had an unconcealable worry on his face. He whispered to Xie Yi about his troubles: "Xie Yi, you don't know, your sister seems to have noticed my feelings for her. Now she always avoids me. Every time I want to talk to her, she either says she's busy or can't find anyone. We haven't had a good conversation for a month... You have to help me, think of a way! How did you chase my sister-in-law in the first place? Can you teach me a few of those tricks?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yi's brows knitted together unconsciously, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Feng Dongling's misunderstanding made him feel a little helpless, but he felt more sympathy for this young friend.
"This guy is really bringing up things that are not related to the topic."
Xie Yi thought to himself, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Feng Dongling seemed to be completely unaware of Xie Yi's subtle emotions. He continued to talk incessantly, his words firing like a machine gun.
Xie Yi leaned against the tree trunk, seemingly listening, but in fact his thoughts had drifted away. He only nodded perfunctorily occasionally, responding to Feng Dongling's enthusiasm.
At this moment, Xie Yi's gaze inadvertently passed through the bustling crowd and caught a glimpse of a figure that made his heart tremble - that was his beloved wife, Xu Xiufang.
His eyes lit up instantly, and just as he was about to take a step forward to chase the figure that had been haunting him, Feng Dongling beside him grabbed his sleeve and begged for help.
"Xie Yi, you must help me this time..."
Feng Dongling's voice was somewhat anxious.
Xie Yi's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He impatiently shook off Feng Dongling's hand, and said in a firm and cold tone: "Enough, solve your own problems!"
After saying this, he strode towards the post office. His back revealed an irrepressible joy and urgency, which was the joy of being reunited with his lover.
