Shazhou County, Sanlang Township, Yuwan Administrative Village, Weiwu Natural Village.
A postal bicycle rode into Weiwu Village on a regular basis. The tall and long-legged postman had a bitter look on his face and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
The weather here is too hot, and the sun is shining brightly today, which makes him feel dull, but in order to survive, he has to continue this job.
After entering the village, he asked several people, stopped the car several times, and delivered two letters.
"Hey! Xiao Onni, where is Wei Chunlan's house? Do you know?"
When handing the second letter to a little boy, the postman wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the little boy casually.
When in town, do as the Romans do.
"Little Onni" is the name given to little boys in Sanlang Township.
If it is a little girl, she will usually call her "Yitou", but the pronunciation will be very strange and cannot be typed in Chinese pinyin.
Little Onni looked up at him and pointed at a red brick house a dozen or so houses away, "There! Right there!"
The postman looked in the direction of the little boy's finger, thanked him, got on his bicycle and left.
Wei Qiuju sat impatiently at the gate peeling edamame, which was her most annoying job every summer. Her cooking was not delicious, and her sister Wei Chunlan's nails were thin. According to local parlance, they were called "water nails." They were thin and
Soft, if you peel the edamame, your nails will tear soon.
So, as early as when they were 12 years old, after their parents gave their sisters the work of cooking during the busy farming period, the two of them divided the labor.
My sister Wei Chunlan is responsible for cooking and cooking.
But Wei Qiuju did the work of choosing vegetables and peeling beans.
But, she doesn't have much patience.
Let her sit for half an hour, or even an hour or two, concentrating on choosing vegetables and peeling beans, which is really killing her.
Therefore, when it comes to choosing food, she usually brings her sister Wei Chunlan along with her. As for the agreement made back then? They are all sisters, so what is the agreement? In the face of family ties, what does it mean?
Fortunately, my sister Wei Chunlan has a soft temper and gradually acquiesces to this change.
But Wei Chunlan couldn't help peeling edamame beans even if she wanted to. Usually, after peeling them once or twice, her nails would tear. When the nails are torn, she can't peel them anymore even if she wants to.
No, this job has become Wei Qiuju's exclusive job.
However, during the summer vacation every year, the weather is hot and most vegetables in the fields cannot be grown well. Leeks and edamame grow best and become real home-cooked dishes.
Let’s put it this way!
During the holidays, she had to peel edamame every day.
One day has fallen.
Simply sour and refreshing.
I think of her as a student with a talent for sports. In school, she would just lift the iron when she had nothing to do. No matter how bad she was, she would run wildly on the school playground and be a woman like the wind.
When I got home, I sat at the door every day for more than an hour, peeling edamame...
She hates edamame!
At this moment, the postal bicycle stopped in front of her house. The bell rang twice. After attracting her attention, the postman on the bicycle forced a smile and asked: "Hey, this is Wei Chunlan's house."
?”
Wei Qiuju frowned and looked at the green bag hanging on the handlebar of his bicycle, "Yes! Do you have a letter from my family?"
The courier breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said as he got off the car: "Yes! There is a letter from your family. By the way, are you Wei Chunlan?"
Wei Qiuju put down the bean stalks in her hands, clapped her hands, stood up and strode over, "Yes, I am! Who sent me the letter?"
She looked confused.
Although she was not her sister Wei Chunlan, she and her sister went to college together and spent a lot of time together in daily life. For a moment, she really didn't expect who would send letters to Wei Chunlan this summer vacation.
Could it be that some bad guy in the school has taken a liking to her? He wants to date her during this summer vacation?
"Here! See for yourself!"
The postman found a letter and handed it to Wei Qiuju.
…
When she walked home with the letter, Wei Qiuju was still squinting at the words on the envelope.
The recipient of the letter is indeed Wei Chunlan.
The home address is also correct.
But who the sender was was not written on the envelope.
Sitting back at the door, she felt the urge to take it apart and take a look.
My sister couldn't beat her anyway.
The main reason is that she is afraid that some bad guy in school wrote the letter to her sister and wants to flirt with her sister.
In her mind, her sister Wei Chunlan has always been brainless, very stupid, and easily deceived.
"Hiss..."
There was a soft sound and the envelope was torn open.
At this moment, the door to the west opened with a creak, and Wei Chunlan quickly came out of the room. When she saw the envelope that had just been torn open in Wei Qiuju's hand, Wei Chunlan's expression changed and she screamed, "Wei Qiuju!! Who let me?"
You opened my letter? Do you want to die?"
Screaming, Wei Chunlan immediately rushed over at a faster speed than usual and snatched the letter back before Wei Qiuju could react.
Wei Qiuju just had time to quibble: "Who, who said it was your letter? It's obviously mine!"
Saying that, she got up and wanted to grab it back.
Wei Chunlan pushed, slapped and pushed her away.
Wei Chunlan: "You're talking nonsense! It's clearly my name written on this envelope, hum! I just heard the postman asking my name in the room, you still want to lie to me? You've gone too far, Wei Qiuju! Next time
If you dare to open my letter again, I will tell my mother!"
Wei Qiuju's slightly dark skin turned a little red.
Hearing this, he curled his lips, sat back at the door, picked up the bean stalks, and continued peeling the edamame. He muttered disdainfully, "You are still the same old person no matter how old you are. You tell your mother at every turn, so you have to get some face! She's still a sister! I'm not as good as you."
Cowardly sister..."
Wei Chunlan was too lazy to argue with her, so she told her mother what was wrong? If you have the guts, don't be afraid of your mother!
Wrinkling her nose, she snorted coldly at Wei Qiuju. Wei Chunlan turned around, twisted her waist, and returned to the room.
Before slamming the door, he said: "Don't work hard! Hurry up! It's getting late, and I've delayed cooking. Let's see what mom will do with you when she comes back!"
Gate.
Wei Qiuju rolled her eyes at her.
Wei Chunlan slammed the door, glanced at the envelope in her hand, blushed and hurried to the desk by the window, and couldn't wait to take out the letter paper from the envelope.
Well, it's several pieces of pure white manuscript paper folded together.
The handwriting... was uglier than she imagined.
It's like it was written by someone who hasn't written for a long time.
The strokes are a bit stiff.
But the content of the second half of the letter seems to be written much more smoothly and the font is much prettier.
Chunlan:
I promised to write to you, but I haven’t written to you for so long. Are you impatient? Sorry! It’s not that I don’t want to write. In fact, I have wanted to write to you for a long time. The reason why I have waited for so many days is mainly because I think too much.
Save some things and words before writing them to you. I hope you can understand.
By the way, how are you doing at home this summer? Do you have anything interesting to share with me?
If so, tell me when you write back to me or call me, I want to hear it.
Also, if you have been very busy recently and feel bored, you can also come to the city to find me. I will take you to have fun and eat delicious food. Haha, by the way, don’t you like archeology? I know there is a mess
