ordinary human life

Some were sent back and some were not sent at all.

It has probably been a long time, and the envelope has turned yellow.

And looking at the letter style, stamps and handwriting, they all belong to the period of the Republic of China.

He Sihai opened a letter casually.

Husband Li Zhongjian:

You have been untrustworthy for many days, and you are very worried. When you left home, you dressed lightly, your clothes were thin, and it was cold in late autumn. I entrusted my friends... The two elders are still in good health.

Wife Honglian

36/[-]/[-]

This is a letter from a person named Honglian to her husband.

The general meaning of the letter is that because I have not received a letter from my husband for many days, I am very worried.

When my husband left home, he didn't bring much clothes, and the weather was getting colder, so he asked a friend to bring him some clothes.

Let him not worry about his parents when he is outside, and let her serve the second elder.

The letter was written with a brush, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful, very beautiful.

He Sihai took another look at the envelope, and there was a return postmark on it.

It appears that the letter was not sent.

And judging from the address on the letter, this man named Huang Lizhong should be a member of the National Revolutionary Army.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Wanzhao came over curiously and asked.

"A letter from a wife to her husband." He Sihai said.

Liu Wanzhao heard the words, knelt down and looked through with him.

There are a total of 32 letters, arranged according to the year from top to bottom, it can be seen that this woman named Honglian attaches great importance to letters.

The first ten or so letters were all returned, and the address was changed to Taiwan...

I think her husband went to Taiwan with the army

But it was still all returned.

Then the rest of the dozens of letters were never sent out at all, they were just stuffed in blank envelopes.

The letter almost spanned the life of this woman named Honglian.

From the longing for her husband, the grief after the death of the second elder, to the pain of the accidental death of the youngest son, to the helplessness in life...

But no matter what hardships she encountered, there was no complaint in the letter, only the expectation for her husband's return.

In one of the letters, there was also a black and white photo.

There is a man and a woman in the yellowed photo. They look very young. They are probably Huang Lizhong and his wife. The woman is wearing a cheongsam and looks gentle and generous. She is probably the owner of the letter.

Liu Wan looked at these letters and was very moved, her eyes were red.

"Look, I found a good thing."

Xuanxuan picked up a colorful beaded bracelet and ran over to show them off like a treasure.

Then at a glance, I saw Liu Wanzhao with red eyes and raised nose.

So, he immediately turned his head to look at He Sihai.

o(￣ヘ￣o#)

"Why, you still want to hit me with a hammer?"

He Sihai glanced at the wooden hammer she was holding tightly in her hand and asked.

Xuanxuan hurriedly hid it behind her back.

Then he thought for a while and said, "Boss, you are a good boy."

"so what?"

"So you can't bully people." Xuanxuan said, moving her little feet quietly to block in front of Liu Wanzhao.

Liu Wanzhao was both amused and moved. He put his arms around her and said, "Your boss didn't bully me. It's because my sister read these letters and was so touched that she wanted to cry."

"Really?" Xuanxuan asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true?" He Sihai reached out and tapped her little head, then stood up.

"Father." Taozi called out from afar, holding a binoculars in his hand, looking over here.

"What's the matter, did you find any treasure again?" He Sihai joked with a smile.

"Well, well, I found out!" Tao Zi said confidently.

"Really? Then show me it!"

When Tao Zi heard this, she immediately ran over.

"Why, your treasure is this telescope?" He Sihai asked a little funny.

The telescope in her hand was dilapidated, with one lens missing, and it wasn't a real telescope, it was a kind of children's toy.

"No, I found a big ring." Tao Zi proudly said.

"ring?"

He Sihai was very surprised when he heard the words. You must know that Tao Zi had picked up a gold necklace before. By the way, last time Zhang Haitao didn't want the sapphire on the necklace. Where did he put it? Scratching his head, he couldn't remember it.

Because I came to the waste station to pick up leaks today, and the weather is getting colder, so Taozi is wearing long trousers and long sleeves, with several pockets on her body.

Especially the top, which has a large slanted pocket, shaped like a big peach.

Taozi took out a little rabbit with missing ears, a colorful ribbon, and a small cartoon card from his pocket...

"Don't put these picked things in your pockets, they are so dirty!" He Sihai squatted down, took off his gloves, and helped her take out all the things.

"Hey!" Tao Zi laughed foolishly.

Then he forcefully squeezed in from He Sihai's palm, and took out something from it.

"Ring." Taozi said excitedly, holding up her thumb.

He Sihai took a closer look, what kind of ring is this?

Chapter 455 Zhang Haitao's Collection

Tao Zi really picked up a big ring, a super big diamond ring.

Pigeon eggs are small in front of it, and the huge diamond can catch up with the size of the egg.

That exaggerated shape is fake at first glance.

An oversized diamond ring made of plexiglass.

Really looking forward to it.

"Since you found it, keep it safe." He Sihai stood up and said.

"Of course, this is my treasure." Tao Zi said that she would definitely treasure it.

Xuanxuan saw it from a distance, and ran over in a dattering manner, looking at the big diamond ring on Taozi's hand with glowing eyes.

"this is mine."

Taozi quickly retracted her hands, hugged her in her arms, and looked at Xuanxuan warily.

"Give me 'Kangkang'." Xuanxuan smiled and put her little head closer and said.

"No." Taozi turned around and ran away.

"Stop, give me a massage, just give me a massage." Xuanxuan chased after her with a wooden hammer in her hand.

"Wow, my sister is a robber, she's going to grab something, it's terrible..." Tao Zi shouted while running.

"These two little guys." He Sihai shook his head amusedly.

At this time, Liu Wanzhao gathered up the letters, found a good box and put them back in.

"The grandma who lost these letters must be very sad?" Liu Wanzhao said sadly.

He Sihai turned around after hearing the words and said, "It is estimated that everyone is gone."

"Why?" Liu Wanzhao asked.

"Didn't you see that the letter said 36 years? It should refer to the 36th year of the Republic of China, that is, 1947. How many years has it been now? If you are still alive, at least you must be a centenarian."

Liu Wanzhao heard the words and thought about it for the same reason.

According to the information in the letter, the old man should have two sons. Although the younger son died unexpectedly, he should not be too young at that time.

"Oh, I still want to return these letters to the other party." Liu Wanzhao said a little disappointed when he heard the words.

Seeing her lost appearance, He Sihai felt warm in his heart.

Smiling, he took the box in her hand and said, "Leave it to me."

"You are so kind." Liu Wanzhao smiled happily upon hearing this.

Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed He Sihai's face.

"You are so kind, eh~" At this moment, Xuanxuan's voice came from beside her.

He Sihai and Liu Wanzhao turned their heads and looked over. Taozi and Xuanxuan stood by the side holding hands at some point and looked at them.

Xuanxuan was imitating Liu Wanzhao, stretching her neck and kissing Taozi on the face.

Taozi laughed, covering her face with her small hands, her five fingers spread wide.

On her wrist is the colorful beaded bracelet that Xuanxuan picked up, while Taozi's "big diamond ring" is on Xuanxuan's hand.

"You two naughty little ones."

Liu Wanzhao became "angry from embarrassment", and picked up a long strip of cardboard from the waste pile next to him, intending to spank the two little guys.

The two little guys were so scared that they screamed and ran around.

He Sihai shook his head with a smile and ignored them.

Instead, continue to pick it up.

A few old magazines, a few old paintings, half an inkstone, a bald pen, a pair of paperweights with missing corners...

As long as He Sihai thinks it is useful and valuable, He Sihai will pick it up and put it aside alone.

Of course, what He Sihai thinks is useful and valuable is that he can think of organizational language and marketing methods, not the real value of the product itself.

"Okay, you guys stop making trouble, come here quickly..." He Sihai turned around and said.

Then he was stunned, because Taozi, Xuanxuan and Liu Wanzhao didn't make a fuss at all, and each of them was eating a candied haws in his hand.

"Where did it come from?" He Sihai asked.

"Aunt Wu gave it to us." Taozi said proudly.

"You guys... are you here to help me with work, are you here to eat?" He Sihai said speechlessly.

"It's the same, it's the same." Xuanxuan said, shaking her hands.

Even Liu Wanzhao raised his eyebrows, eating candied haws without haste.

Alas~ There is really no way to take the three little guys.

……

Naturally, lunch was eaten at Zhang Haitao's place.

Aunt Wu made it very rich, with fish, shrimp and meat, a big table full.

Taozi and Xuanxuan didn't eat, because they were already full from the food.

After dinner, He Sihai was not in a hurry to go back. The old radios he picked up in the waste pile in the morning happened to be repaired with the help of Zhang Haitao's tools.

As for why He Sihai repaired the radio, it was mainly due to He Rongyuan's remuneration.

The repair techniques he learned at that time, the most he repaired were black and white TVs and radios with big butts.

So He Sihai is very handy in repairing.
