Want to be a salted fish

The post office is one of the few high-end places in the town. The building has two floors, each of which is quite large. The first floor is the post office, and the second floor is the telegraph.

Telephones are not popular now, only a few important departments have them, and most of them still write letters and send telegrams for important matters.

Su Mubai came to the window and took out ten yuan and slapped it on the table. "I'm going to buy stamps, a set of all types."

The woman knitting looked at him in shock, what kind of fool is this, buying so many stamps. "You, are you sure?"

"Yes, can you introduce me?"

The woman was stunned for a while and took out the stamps to show Su Mubai. "There are small, medium and large sets, 3 sets of small sets, five sheets each, 2 sets of middle sets, 8 sheets each, and five sets of more than ten sheets each in the large set, do you... really want it?"

She has never seen anyone buying stamps like this, even if she likes to collect them, she will buy one or two that she likes.

"One set for each edition." Su Mubai pushed the money forward.

"Okay, there are 86 sheets in total, six yuan and eighty-eight cents." The woman took the old envelope and sealed it, and found the change.

Su Mubai took it away happily, it's worth it!Go back and buy more.

And the woman muttered something. "Is this person a fool? He has money but no land to spend, buying so many stamps."

Su Mubai pretended not to hear, and dragged Erya to the state-run restaurant. He was hungry at noon, so he had a good meal.

"Forget Mubai, it's too expensive, we can buy scallion pancakes."

"If you have money, let go and eat."

Erya had no choice but to follow tremblingly. The money she saw today was spent more than she had spent in more than ten years. Although she was happy, the more she spent, the more afraid she became.

"Hey, Xiufang, look, that's your Erya, right?"

Not far away, one of the aunts touched the woman next to her.

The two aunts looked to be in their 50s, with vegetable baskets hanging on their arms.

"Who?"

"Look, look there, it's just your eldest daughter's child. Now I'm living a good life, and I'm eating in the state-run restaurant."

"What! Impossible!" Ming Xiufang immediately looked over and saw Su Mubai pulling Erya.

The woman is Wang Xiufang, Erya's grandmother.In her heart, the eldest daughter's family is dead, and there is nothing at home, so how can she go to a restaurant.

Wang Xiufang wanted to go and have a look, but she thought that it was a state-run hotel, and she would save face if there was an unsightly quarrel.

"Chunmei, I have to leave beforehand, you go shopping by yourself." Wang Xiufang quickly patted the woman's hand and walked home.

Speaking of her eldest daughter, Wang Xiufang felt very complicated. When she was pregnant, her mother-in-law wanted a boy all she wanted, but she didn't know that she gave birth to a daughter.

So because the confinement was not done well, the root of the disease fell, and the second son was born three years later, and life gradually improved, but those three years were the hatred in her heart.

Because her father-in-law and her man are both workers, she will subconsciously be a little timid towards her mother-in-law's family, so she doesn't dare to show preference for her mother-in-law.

When the eldest daughter managed to survive until she was a teenager, she was sold to the Su family as a child bride.

Since then, she occasionally inquired about it, but never paid more attention to it. Even though her mother-in-law died of illness in a few years, she never thought about contacting her daughter again.

When her son and daughter's family died unexpectedly, she didn't feel sad, only relaxed, so that no one would say that she was not good to her daughter.

Now her two sons are very promising, their family is very decent, and their lives are good.

Wang Xiufang walked home quickly, her heart beating non-stop, they can't live well, they can't!

After returning home, she took a worn-out dress and scarf, wrapped herself up when no one was around, and turned to a dilapidated small house deep in an alley.

Dong dong dong

An anxious knock on the door woke up the people who were still sleeping in the room.

"Who is it? Don't knock." The man opened the door impatiently, pulling on his slippers.

When the door opened, there was a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he smiled when he saw Wang Xiufang. "Yo, Aunt Wang, come in quickly."

"Aunt Wang, sit down and I'll pour you some water."

"No need, Xiao Zhou, I'm here to ask you for something." Wang Xiufang didn't have time to linger here, so she directly pulled him to sit down and gave him five yuan.

Zhou Jun happily borrowed the money and put it in his pocket. "Aunt Wang, tell me."

"That's right, you go to Sujia Village to inquire about my daughter's family."

Zhou Jun didn't ask anything, just patted his chest. "No problem, don't worry, Aunt Wang, I will definitely inquire about it."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, try to hurry up."

"Definitely, three days, wait for me to write to you."

Zhou Jun found two younger brothers and gave each of them a dollar. The two younger brothers who were happy didn't eat, so they immediately went to inquire about things.

He remembered that time when he asked someone to beat Aunt Wang's daughter and son-in-law, and then died of illness. There was only one orphan left, and the investigation was very easy.

In the restaurant, Su Mubai didn't order too much, rice, braised pork, tofu cabbage, and egg soup.

Erya almost buried her food in the bowl.

"It's delicious!" She felt that she could remember this meal forever.

I also bought what should be bought, and the two returned after eating and drinking enough.

As soon as they entered the village, Erya's good friend Su Xiaoxiao greeted them.

"Erya, you are back, you bought so many things." She looked curiously, then pulled Erya aside, and stared at Su Mubai. "Hey, is he really alright?"

"it is true."

Su Xiaoxiao patted Erya on the shoulder. "That's good, you don't have to carry it yourself in the future."

"How do you know that Mu Bai is ready?"

"It's spread all over the village, okay, it's good that Mubai fell, and then uncle and the others will give you a lot of money to fill in some things. Hmph, many people are praising it."

Su Xiaoxiao knew the virtues of her cousin and aunt, so she sneered.

"Okay, it's okay, we spent the money anyway."

"Okay, I'm relieved to see that you are doing well. Remember to come to my house later. You must make clothes. I will help you." Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand and left.

"Okay." Erya smiled, turned her head and said while walking with Su Mubai. "Su Xiaoxiao is my good friend. He usually helps me a lot. She is a child of my cousin's family."

"Well, I have some impressions."

"Fourth, you are back, come, come, look at the doors and windows, I have repaired them for you."

As soon as Su Mubai entered the door, he was held back by the second son Su, who asked him to see the results of most of the day.

Su Mubai looked at the many intact doors and windows and smiled, stretched out his hand to grab a handful of candy cubes in the basket, and handed a handful of dried sweet potatoes to Su Laoer. "Thank you, second brother, for the children to eat."

"Cough cough."

"Haha, I'm not being polite." Second Su took it happily, and saw that Su's mother came out to pat Su Mubai and went back to the house. It's just repairing things. It's not bad to get some candy.

"cough!"

Er Ya heard Su Mu's voice and wanted to say hello, Su Mubai pushed her into the room. "Leave her alone and pack your things."
