Chapter 225 Taking He Yushui to the Post Office
Wang Feng and Qin Jingru returned to courtyard number 95. As soon as they entered the front yard, Yan Fugui saw them.
"Wang Feng, I just brought some meat to your house, but neither you nor Jingru were home. Wait for me a moment, I'll bring you the meat right away."
"Okay, go ahead."
Soon, Yan Fugui brought over the meat. It was a piece of lean meat, and it didn't look very fresh.
Yan Fugui said somewhat awkwardly, "Wang Feng, when I went to buy meat yesterday, all I had was lean meat. Don't be disgusted by it, but don't worry, this piece of meat is definitely enough for half a pound. You can weigh it when you get back if you don't believe me."
Wang Feng took the meat and nodded: "No problem, that's fine. We'll head back now if there's nothing else."
"Okay, take care."
Yan Fugui looked ingratiating and even helped Wang Feng lift the back seat of the car.
After walking a few steps, Wang Feng handed the meat to Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, you should give this meat to Aunt Wu. It's probably been sitting here for several days."
"Um."
Qin Jingru took the meat and then knocked on Aunt Wu's door.
"Knock knock knock".
Who is it?
When the door opened, Aunt Wu greeted Qin Jingru with a smile.
"It's Jingru! Oh, and Wang Feng is here too. Please come in and have a seat."
"Sister Jingru!"
As soon as Ya Ya heard it was Qin Jingru, she immediately ran out on her short legs, pounced on Qin Jingru, and hugged Qin Jingru's long legs tightly, refusing to let go.
Qin Jingru gently patted Ya Ya's head, handed her half a pound of meat, and smiled at Aunt Wu, saying:
"Aunt Wu, Wang Feng and I have something to do, so we won't go in. Here's the thing, the Yan family is hosting a free banquet at noon, so Wang Feng and I won't be eating there. Teacher Yan gave us half a pound of meat, and we still have two old hens at home that we haven't eaten yet. We're worried that the meat might not be fresh if it's left out for too long, so you can take it to Ya Ya to help her recover."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.
"Jingru, I know you're good to Aunt Wu and Yaya, but you just gave us so many chicken heads, chicken butts, and innards a while ago, and yesterday you gave me the heads, chicken butts, and innards from those two chickens again. You...you're giving me too much, how can Aunt Wu accept this? How about this, if you're worried this piece of meat isn't fresh, Aunt Wu will give you the money, consider it Aunt Wu buying it, okay?"
Before Qin Jingru could speak, Wang Feng interrupted, "Aunt Wu, please don't be so polite. When my father was still alive, it was just the two of us in our family. You used to mend my clothes all the time. When we ran out of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, you were the only one who was willing to lend us some. I, Wang Feng, am a grateful person. Now Jingru and I both have salaries, and we don't lack these things to eat. Please accept them without worry."
Without giving Aunt Wu a chance to refuse, Wang Feng took the meat from Qin Jingru's hand and stuffed it directly into Aunt Wu's hand.
"You guys, sigh."
Seeing that Wang Feng had said so, Aunt Wu accepted the gift, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Aunt Wu, we have something to do, so we'll head back now. Ya Ya, remember to listen to your mother."
Wang Feng rubbed Ya Ya's head, pushed his bicycle, and followed Qin Jingru towards the Central Court.
"Brother Wang Feng, I listen to my mother very well. I even help her paste matchboxes," Ya Ya said in her childish voice.
Watching Wang Feng and Qin Jingru's retreating figures, Aunt Wu wiped away her tears, pulled Ya Ya, and went back into the house.
"Mommy, why do Sister Jingru and Brother Wang Feng always give us meat to eat?" Ya Ya asked in her childish voice.
Aunt Wu gently patted Ya Ya's head and smiled slightly: "That's because your sister Jingru and brother Wang Feng are kind people. When Ya Ya grows up, she'll also give meat to sister Jingru and brother Wang Feng, understand?"
Ya Ya nodded her little head: "Yes, when I grow up, I'll bring them meat to eat every day."
When Wang Feng and Qin Jingru arrived at the Central Courtyard, they saw that a temporary tent had been set up there, and Sha Zhu had also set up a stove inside the tent.
Five square tables and chairs had already been set up in the tent. Aunt San and several other women were in charge of picking and washing vegetables, Sha Zhu was in charge of chopping vegetables, and even He Yushui was helping out. Everyone was busy and working hard.
When Wang Feng saw He Yushui, he quickly waved to her.
"Rain, come here for a second, I need to talk to you."
"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, I'm coming right now."
He Yushui wiped her hands and was about to go over when Sha Zhu stopped her. Sha Zhu frowned and looked at Wang Feng, asking:
"Wang Feng, can't you say what's on your mind here? What can't you say in front of me?"
Wang Feng said speechlessly, "Hey, you silly Zhu, Yu Shui is only fourteen years old. What could I possibly do to her? Besides, Jing Ru is right here. Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"
"Brother, I have a good relationship with Brother Wang Feng. When Uncle Wang went to the countryside to buy supplies, I even cooked for Brother Wang Feng a few times. Don't worry about it. You start chopping the vegetables, and I'll come over to help you later."
After saying that, He Yushui ran off in a flash, which made Sha Zhu roll his eyes in exasperation.
"Brother Wang Feng, what's going on?" He Yushui came up to Wang Feng and asked, puzzled.
Wang Feng did not answer He Yushui's question. He looked at Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, you go back first. I'm taking Yushui out to run some errands."
"Okay."
Actually, Qin Jingru was also very curious. What could possibly be going on between the two of them? But since Brother Wang Feng had already said so, she couldn't go along. Otherwise, Brother Wang Feng would definitely think she was petty and didn't trust him.
"Come on, Rain, come with me for a bit. Once we get there, you'll find out what it's about."
"Um."
As the two walked out of courtyard number 95, Wang Feng asked with a smile, "Yu Shui, aren't you curious why I called you here? Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"
"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, we've known each other for so many years, you're not that kind of person. Didn't you just say that I'd know what it was all about once we got there? Why would I ask so many questions?" He Yushui said with a grin.
"Okay."
Wang Feng patted the back seat of the bicycle: "Get on."
"Um."
He Yushui sat on the back of the bicycle, and Wang Feng rode the bicycle towards the post office.
After riding their bikes for about five minutes, the two arrived at the post office. He Yushui asked, puzzled:
"Brother Wang Feng, what are we doing at the post office?"
"Hehe, let's go inside and talk about it. You'll find out soon enough."
With that, Wang Feng led He Yushui into the post office.
Wang Feng found the same clerk he had met at the post office last time and asked directly:
"Hello comrade, do you remember the letter from courtyard number 95 that I asked you to check for me last time?"
Upon hearing this, the staff immediately remembered.
"I remember, I remember, comrade, didn't you say last time that you weren't sure and that you were going to ask your friend? So much time has passed, I thought you had found out and that your friend had already received it."
