But from the contents of Eldest Uncle’s letter, she could tell that his family was doing quite well over there.
It was just that conditions there were too tough. They had received all the things that their family sent them from their hotown. Based on what they said, there was no issue with that.
Gu Qingyao understood. This ti, she sent more. It should not be a problem.
Of course, grain was a necessity.
This ti she prepared ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of cornflour, and then another twenty kilograms of coarse grain.
That included sorghum flour, sweet potato flour, dried sweet potatoes and so on.
Then there were dried herbs. She included less of these.
Then she added at – a side of bacon, cured pork ribs, two dried chickens, two dried rabbits, a few dried fish and a packet of small fish and shrimp that had been dried.
Little fish and prawns were at too!
That way, these looked like things that they would save on a normal basis.
Eldest Cousin needed to go courting. Besides these practical items, she had to send so rarer items to keep up appearances. She had promised Eldest Cousin that when he t a girl that he liked, she would send many delicious items for him to please his wife-to-be.
Especially since she had a younger brother. Gu Qingyao thought for a while and sent a bag of brown sugar, two tins of malted milk extract, a bag of milk candy, a bag of hard candy, and a bag of mixed dried fruits.
Then there was a set of clothes for Eldest Cousin and two pairs of shoes. She had been making clothes for Eldest Cousin and she had sent him a set earlier. Later on, she had not sent anymore for fear of attracting attention, so she had only sent so cloth.
She also sent Eldest Aunt a set of clothes and Eldest Uncle a pair of shoes.
Then Gu Qingyao stuffed so cloth in, especially adding so cloth suitable for making clothes for a young girl. These were ant for Eldest Cousin to please his wife.
It was a huge bag, weighing a hundred kilograms. In order to make the parcel look smaller, Gu Qingyao squashed the items that could be flattened and bound them tightly several tis with rope.
By the ti Gu Qingyao had finished tying it, she was panting and exhausted.
“Little Six and Little Nine, hurry up and write a letter to your parents. We’ll send it together tomorrow.”
The two children could read and write. They had not seen their parents for a year and naturally missed them terribly. When they heard that, they hurried off to write their letter.
Gu Yunshen laughed when he saw the huge parcel his daughter had prepared.
Gu Qingyao squatted next to the parcel and looked up smilingly at her father.
“Father, I’ve been terribly worried about whether Elder Cousin will manage to court his wife!”
Gu Yunshen was amused and he patted Gu Qingyao’s head.
The next day, the parcel and a letter for Eldest Uncle, as well as Little Six and Little Nine’s letters were all mailed out.
Besides that, there were letters to Third Uncle and Second Uncle’s families to tell them the good news.
At the end of the month, Mo Beihan ca back for Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao glared at him. “Who asked you to co back?”
Mo Beihan was aggrieved. “Why haven’t you left yet? I’ve been waiting for so many months. Didn’t you say you would definitely co before the autumn harvest? If you don’t co now, the autumn harvest will be upon us.”
Gu Qingyao: “...”
Sumr had only just begun.
Mo Beihan tugged at her hand and said pitifully, “Co on! Co with , all right? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It’s so uncomfortable in the countryside. Co with to the city! There’s no one to restrict you there, so it’s more convenient living there, right?”
Gu Qingyao was speechless. This fellow was growing increasingly different from his previous self. He was getting more and more shaless.
Mo Beihan ca back and finally managed to get Jiang Xun, Jiang Ping, Jiang Jing and Mu Mu’s accounts transferred to the Mo family.
