Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The Package Mailed by Laosan and His Spouse Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The Package Mailed by Laosan and His Spouse If Laosan and his wife hadn’t left in such a hurry, his wife had still planned to give them eggs and dried vegetables to foster closer ties.
That’s what his wife said.
They were on cloud nine.
After finally finishing the work, Mrs. Zhao still held the keys and ca over to Laosan’s place, to tidy up a bit.
There were still so vegetables, she planned to pick and make into dried vegetables, and to plant so radishes and cabbages for them, as well as so autumn potatoes for Laosan’s wife to eat.
“Should we mail them so new rice?”
Team Leader Zhao hesitated for a mont, “He doesn’t lack food in the Capital City, they are in university now and the school provides subsidies.”
Another thing was, without knowing their address, how could they send the food?
The Capital City is very big after all.
“How co I heard sothing about contracting farmland?”
Team Leader Zhao nodded, indeed there was such a matter.
“Several teams are making a fuss about this, it’s all because of this year’s grain seeds causing worry. They fear next year will be the sa.”
Only their team had a bountiful harvest. So mbers were afraid that so grain might be secretly sold but this was no longer concerned the team leader.
Nowadays, private transactions took place, there’s a small market in town where people buy vegetables and other goods.
He had seen this while going to deliver the public grain.
“Just follow the policies,” he said.
Mrs. Zhao, having heard that there was a parcel for them, went to the post office when she was in town buying soy sauce and vinegar. Without any proof, it was only with the help of a young wife from the team that she was able to claim the parcel.
“Auntie, this parcel is mailed from the Capital City.”
The Capital City?
A parcel mailed by Laosan and his wife.
The parcel was quite heavy.
She had only brought a basket to town today.
“Xiangzi’s mother, is this a parcel mailed by your son Laosan for you?”
“It looks like he mailed it to you as soon as he arrived in the Capital City.”
“Xiangzi’s mother, your son Laosan and his wife are really filial to you…”
The people sitting on the ox cart couldn’t help but want to open it and see exactly what was inside.
But this was the team leader’s wife. Previously, Educated Youth Yun had treated them to candy, and Laosan had treated them to at.
Educated Youth Yun even allowed their household to receive extra grain.
Nobody dared to offend Educated Youth Yun, still hoping for the fertilizers from him that could increase crop yields.
A smile bead across Mrs. Zhao’s face as she returned ho in a particularly good mood.
“Laosan’s wife sent us a parcel, just waiting for you to co back and open it.”
Did they really have to wait for him to co back to open it?
Upon opening, they saw mooncakes inside, along with canned fruit, sugar, and a can of milk powder.
“How much did all this cost?”
They must have many expenses in the Capital City, how could they send so much?
There were also two letters.
“They still make mooncakes with tin containers, huh?”
“Your daughter-in-law said this batch of mooncakes is for Big Brother and Second Brother’s families. The rest, all for us, telling us to drink more milk powder before it expires and can’t be eaten anymore.”
“She’s worried we’d be too thrifty to use it. Which family drinks milk powder every day, huh?”
This was milk powder.
“They are worried we might get tired after the autumn harvest.”
Before the autumn harvest, they even sent a bag of malted milk for them to drink a cup every day after coming back.
One had to admit, this year’s autumn harvest wasn’t as exhausting as the last one.
“Put it away, the little ones should be coming soon.”
Sure enough, just as Team Leader Zhao had predicted, no sooner had Mrs. Zhao put things away than Sanya, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Shu all ca along.
The others were still in school.
“Grandma…..”
“Grandma…..”
Mrs. Zhao asked Team Leader Zhao to cook, took the mooncakes packed in a basket, and went to their family’s place with the kids.
