Chapter 66 - 064 News Update
After a week, Qin Xi brought back a telegram from Jigu Commune which brought joy to everyone. Qin Shouren’s household registration had been transferred, and his job had been secured. The telegram concluded with instructions for his son to wait for a letter.
Half a month later, a large package arrived.
Qin Xi happened to go to Grandpa Li’s house to help pick up the grains and some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar that Mr. Lan had helped to collect, and brought the package back as well.
Upon returning, the package was opened directly on the warm brick bed of Grandpa Li’s house.
First, there was a letter inside, which Qin Xi quickly flipped through, while Li Xianglu stared blankly at a packet of pastries inside the package — they were even in a paper box, which looked very sophisticated.
After reading the letter, Qin Xi looked upset, but he took a deep breath. Seeing Li Xianglu’s shining eyes, he immediately lost all his bad moods and smiled as he opened the box first offering a piece to Mr. Li nearby, then to his brother Qin Zhen, and gave the rest of the entire box to Li Xianglu, saying, "These are all for you, take good care of them."
Li Xianglu blinked, realizing it was all for her. She glanced at Qin Zhen, who was eagerly watching, then quickly hugged the box of pastries and returned to her own cave dwelling.
At noon, both young boys of the Qin Family came over to eat. Li Xianglu used the pork she bought to make Saozi, and made Saozi Noodles with a large lump of dough. Today was Saturday, and Li Jianqing would come back in the afternoon; Li Xianglu made extra, planning to leave a bowl for her third brother.
Eating the delicious Saozi Noodles, Qin Zhen’s obsession with the pastries quickly waned. The pastries were for the girl, but the Saozi Noodles were tastier.
