Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Postman Niu Dajun_1
Just then, a military-green bicycle stopped outside the post office, and a burly man dressed in a military-green uniform walked in.
“Daqiangzi, hurry up, I still have a lot of letters to deliver.” A young man with a crew cut rushed in, gulped down a large pot of cool boiled water, and then spoke out.
Waiting on the side, Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up, and she softly called out, “Brother Dajun?”
Niu Dajun, who had just finished drinking water, was startled and looked at Qi Xiaoyan.
His face turned slightly red, embarrassed that the handso young lady had seen his rudeness.
“You know ?
You are…” Niu Dajun felt Qi Xiaoyan looked familiar but couldn’t recall at the mont.
He had only recovered a month ago, and many folks in his hotown had changed so much he couldn’t recognize them, which had led to many jokes.
Although Qi Xiaoyan was nervous, she still introduced herself very graciously and politely, “I’m Qi Xiaoyan.
My elder brother is Qi Rongjun.”
“Ah!” Niu Dajun was taken aback, “Oh, you are Rong Jun’s sister.
No wonder you looked familiar!
Little sister Xiao Yan, are you here to send a letter at the post office?”
Seeing the sister of a respected leader, Niu Dajun was very excited and enthusiastic.
“No, my brother’s letter was sent by my dad a few days ago.
Today, I ca to accompany my friend to send a letter,” Qi Xiaoyan said with a smile.
She had recognized him because Niu Dajun had visited their house with her brother in the past.
“Oh, what’s your friend’s na?
Next ti I get a letter, I’ll bring it over right away,” Niu Dajun said.
He wouldn’t be so eager for soone else, but the friend of the company commander’s sister was also his sister, and he was willing to help her.
“Her na is He Tiantian.
She’s an educated youth who ca from Nan City,” Qi Xiaoyan thought of He Tiantian’s eagerness to receive the letter sooner and now, with soone from the post office here, her good friend could get the letter a couple of days in advance.
He Tiantian?
This na seems familiar.
Suddenly, Niu Dajun laughed and said, “It must be the letter I delivered three days ago.
He Tiantian received a letter and ca here to send a reply.”
Qi Xiaoyan was stunned, shook her head, and said, “No, she didn’t receive the letter, and that’s why she’s very worried.
Today she followed
to send another letter to ask about the situation at ho.”
Niu Dajun was puzzled and scratched his head, saying, “That’s not right.
I was transferred to a civilian job five days ago, and I delivered two letters to your village three days ago.
If you don’t believe , look, I still have the record here!”
He Tiantian was busy writing the address and didn’t notice the conversation between Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan imdiately walked over to He Tiantian and said, “Tiantian, Brother Dajun already delivered two letters for you to the village three days ago.
Don’t send this letter first.
Let’s clear up this matter, and then you can write to your parents, so they don’t get worried about this inexplicable letter.”
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian turned her head abruptly and asked, “Where?
Where?”
Her letter had already been delivered to the village?
Why didn’t she know about it?
Her letter had arrived, she hadn’t received it, she could guess with her toes, her letter must have been secretly kept by Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli.
Her worries had materialized.
Niu Dajun had already taken out his notebook and flipped to the fifth page, which contained two letters from He Tiantian, both sent from Nan City.
If Niu Dajun were an experienced postman, maybe he wouldn’t have been so ticulous.
But Niu Dajun had just started working, and he would rather go through the trouble himself than make a mistake, so he was especially ticulous.
When delivering letters to the village committee, he would always ask the recipient to sign for them.
It was Qi Shuli’s na that was written in Niu Dajun’s notebook.
“Qi Shuli, this is the na of your village’s accountant who signed,” Niu Dajun said, “Look, it says two letters here.
I delivered this letter, whether that accountant nad Qi Shuli handed it over to you, I don’t know.
However, as a postman, delivering letters into the hands of the recipients is our duty.
When you go back to Qijia Village later, I’ll co with you to clear this matter up.”
Even if it was for a stranger, Niu Dajun would conduct his inquiries seriously.
Now, since the company commander’s sister was present, Niu Dajun was even less willing to make a mistake and embarrass the company commander and the soldiers.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyan knew this postman brother and considering how serious and responsible he was, He Tiantian felt that not only could she retrieve her letters this ti, but she could also build a good relationship with this postman.
In the future, she could directly receive her letters from his hands.
“Then I’m really troubled by you, comrade postman,” He Tiantian expressed her gratitude.
She hadn’t co in vain today, and Qi Xiaoyan had really done her a huge favor.
If she didn’t know the postman, it would have been very difficult for He Tiantian to figure out if her letters had been hidden away.
Ever since she got to know Qi Xiaoyan, He Tiantian had actually been purposefully getting close with the aim of becoming friends and hoping that Secretary Qi would take care of her, seeing his daughter’s sake.
As ti passed, Qi Xiaoyan’s sincerity and enthusiasm had moved her.
He Tiantian silently decided that she wouldn’t only change her own fate and that of her parents but also help Qi Xiaoyan.
She wouldn’t let her die because of that heartless man Li Mingkai.
She definitely had to help Qi Xiaoyan find a suitable husband and live a happy life.
Niu Dajun still had sothing to do and said, “When will you go back?
Can you wait for
a little while?
I just need to tally up the letters I need to deliver, and then I can go back to Qijia Village with you.”
“My dad has gone to a eting at the commune, and he’ll probably eat there.
We’re going to have a bowl of noodles at the hostel later and return in the afternoon,” Qi Xiaoyan replied softly.
She felt very proud for helping her good friend, confident that He Tiantian would beco even closer to her now.
Upon hearing this, Niu Dajun slapped his own head repeatedly and said, “Oh my, my pig brain, I almost forgot.
It’s almost ti for lunch.
Since Eldest Uncle Qi is in the county town, I’ll take you two out for a al.”
Back at the unit, Brother Rongjun had taken good care of him, especially during the allocation of work when he had left high remarks on his files.
Otherwise, as an ordinary ex-soldier, how could he have landed such a good job?
Now, seeing the company commander’s sister and not inviting her to a al, how could he face the company commander in the future?
“No need,” Qi Xiaoyan declined with a blush, feeling like she had inadvertently given the impression she was angling for a al invite.
“You must,” Niu Dajun insisted upon seeing Qi Xiaoyan back down, his face turning anxiously red, “Xiao Yan, sister, if you don’t let
treat you, I’ll have no face to et the company commander in the future!”
Qi Ergou realized Niu Dajun’s sincere intentions and chuckled on the side, “Xiao Yan, don’t refuse.
Comrade Dajun is making this offer with a kind heart.”
Seeing Er Gou spoke like this, Qi Xiaoyan nodded and replied, “Then…
then I’ll trouble you.”
“No trouble, no trouble at all, it’s my duty,” said Niu Dajun.
“Just one packet of letters; I need to register them before taking them away.”
“There’s no rush, take your ti,” Qi Xiaoyan whispered.
Next ti she wrote to Er Gou, she would definitely tell him about Niu Dajun’s warm hospitality.
