Chapter 242: Package from the Capital
Liu Jingxue walked along the wooden planks and arrived in the town in less than half an hour.
When she was still a few hundred meters away from the town, she stopped skiing, put the board into the space, and put the backpack out again.
After thinking about it, she took half of the bacon in the package. After all, there were several dozen kilograms of bacon, and it would not be nice if others saw it.
After having Sister Jin check it, just put the things you collected back in when sealing it.
She also wrapped two cured pheasants, some cured wild boar meat and cured rabbit meat in oil paper, which she intended to exchange for Sister Jin.
After preparing everything, she carried the basket on her back and walked towards the post office.
Seeing Liu Jingxue coming in and the things she was carrying, Sister Jin quickly greeted her, "Sister, you're here to send a package again.
My sister has so many relatives, they are everywhere, and she sends so many things every time."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she was thinking about how to answer so as not to arouse people's wild thoughts, but she was interrupted by her next words.
"But my relatives really deserve my treatment. Every time they send me a package, it's so big."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she changed her mind and said, "Sister Jin, is there a package for me?"
“There’s a big package for you, bigger than the ones I’ve received before.
Been here for two days.
It’s just that the snow on the road is too deep, and the postman doesn’t go to the countryside, so he can’t deliver the news to you.” Sister Jin explained.
Liu Jingxue asked, "Sister Jin, do you know where it was sent from?"
"I took a look and saw that he was from the capital."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she immediately felt relieved.
It came from Beijing, so it should have been sent by Grandpa Wu’s family.
We'll talk about picking up the package later. The most important thing now is to send the package to my brother.
Taking off the backpack and putting it aside, Liu Jingxue said to Sister Jin, "Sister Jin, please come and check the things inside the package.
I will seal it after you finish the inspection."
Sister Jin turned away from the counter and apologized, “Sister, we are so familiar with each other, I believe you will not mail anything prohibited.
But this is my job, I hope you don’t mind.”
"How can you say that, Sister Jin? No matter where you send a package, you must check it before sending it.
We can't skip this step just because we know each other.
If something goes wrong, it will hurt others and yourself.”
Sister Jin just took a quick look at the contents of the package and passed it by, without taking out all of them to look through as she did before.
Seeing so much bacon, Sister Jin was surprised and whispered, "Sister, you sent so much last time, and you sent more today. It seems that your production team really has a master."
Sister Jin didn't think that Liu Jingxue was a little girl who could go up the mountain to hunt, and she just thought she was going to exchange it with the villagers.
Liu Jingxue didn't explain to her either. She said they were just business partners and there was no need to get too involved.
She reached out and patted the bag she had prepared for Sister Jin, "I've prepared it for you, we'll talk about it later."
When Sister Jin heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Sister, shut up quickly. I'll go and help you with the paperwork."
While she was not paying attention, Liu Jingxue quickly stuffed the bacon that had been stored in the space back into the package and began to seal it.
After weighing, payment and filling out the form, the package was put into the shipping area.
Sister Jin pulled her to a deserted place and accepted all the bacon she brought.
Liu Jingxue got a few cigarette tickets and toilet paper tickets, and exchanged the rest for money.
After the transaction was completed, Liu Jingxue received the package sent from Beijing.
Seeing the unfamiliar name on it, Liu Jingxue frowned slightly. If this wasn’t sent by Aunt Wu, then who was it from?
She doesn't know anyone in the capital.
Such a large package must have been carefully checked when it was mailed, so it should not have been sent to the wrong person.
Forget it, never mind, just take it back first.
Liu Jingxue said goodbye to Sister Jin and was about to leave with her bag, but was stopped by Sister Jin.
"Sister, I heard from my colleagues before that there are several letters from your production team.
It's snowing so heavily now, and the roads are hard to walk on. We don't know how long we'll have to wait for him to deliver it. Why don't you take it back?"
"Does this comply with your regulations?" Liu Jingxue asked.
She herself didn't mind helping, even if it broke the rules.
Sister Jin explained, "It's okay, special cases require special treatment.
When the roads are blocked by heavy snow like this, letters from many places have to be delivered by others.
After all, there are only a few staff members in the post office, and they can’t run around.”
"Then Sister Jin, take me over there and tell your colleague, and I'll take him down with me."
After signing, the staff handed Liu Jingxue five letters from the Red Star Production Brigade, three of which were from educated youth, one from the team leader's family, and one from another villager in the village.
After leaving the post office, Liu Jingxue found a deserted place to put the package into the space, then put on her backpack and went to collect the subsidy for children of martyrs.
After receiving the receipts for two months' subsidies, Liu Jingxue looked at the time on the receipts and found that they were still several months away from expiration. She did not plan to cash the receipts now and planned to go home directly.
After walking out of the town for a distance and making sure that there was no one around, Liu Jingxue put out the wooden board again, stepped on it, and used her spiritual power to drive herself towards the production team.
When she was almost at the village entrance, she took back the wooden board, put the basket on her back, and walked towards the village.
She lived at the end of the village and walked back from the village entrance. Along the way, she would pass by villagers who had letters, the educated youth site, and the team leader's house, and she would deliver all five letters in the process.
After delivering the letters from the villagers first and receiving their thanks, Liu Jingxue headed towards the educated youth site.
After knocking on the door at the educated youth center and waiting for a long time, Zhou Wenbing finally came to open the door.
Seeing Liu Jingxue carrying a backpack with a large package on it, Zhou Wenbing asked in surprise, "Liu Zhiqing, are you going to town?"
Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "I just came back from town.
The heavy snow blocked the roads and the postman couldn't deliver the letters, so I took the opportunity to bring back the letters from our production team.
There happens to be a letter from you, Zhou Zhiqing, and two from Zhang Yingchun and Xia Lan. Zhou Zhiqing, please help them take it in."
As she spoke, Liu Jingxue took out three letters from her bag and gave them to him.
After Zhou Wenbing received the letter, he said gratefully, "Liu Zhiqing, thank you so much.
After I sent the package home, I have been waiting for the letter from home.
But the postman hasn't come yet, and I was planning to go to town one day to check.
You helped me bring the letter back, which saved me the trouble."
"No need to thank me, just help me bring the letter to them both," Liu Jingxue said.
Not wanting to hear more words of thanks from him, Liu Jingxue said before he could open his mouth, "I won't say any more to you, I still have to deliver letters to other people.
After carrying such a big package and walking such a long distance in the snow, I was really tired.
After delivering the letter, I have to go home and rest."
When Zhou Wenbing heard this, he quickly said, "Then I won't delay you."
After leaving the educated youth point, Liu Jingxue delivered the letter to the team leader's home and then returned home.
