Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Xu Ningyu looked up at Li Lei: "Do you have time on the weekend? I want to go to the post office in the town. Can you take the four-way bus with me?"

The little fat boy's eyes are so big!Li Lei was so watched that he almost forgot what to say, and when he recovered, he patted his chest and agreed: "Okay, I'll take you there. You don't need to take a car, why spend so much money. It's also very fast to ride there, I'm fine I also went to the town by bike to play."

Li Lei was very enthusiastic, and Xu Ningyu's small coffers were indeed not very rich, so he didn't refuse: "Thank you then." At the end, he deliberately added: "Then don't tell anyone, including my sister."

"This matter has to be kept secret, and we are the only ones who know?" Li Lei's eyes were bright, and he felt excited that he was carrying out some kind of secret activity.

Xu Ningyu nodded, and he immediately became happier, especially happy to have a common secret with his little friend.

Li Lei gestured to zip up his mouth: "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth. I promise not to tell anyone, and I will never be a traitor Pu Zhigao!"

Pu Zhigao was the traitor who betrayed Sister Jiang in "Red Rock". He became a household name because of the film "Eternal Life in Fire" and became synonymous with traitor.At this time, if a child sues the adults and tells the secret of his little friend, everyone will accuse him: "You traitor Pu Zhigao!"

On the weekend, Xu Ningyu told his family that Li Lei would take him out to play by bike.

"Where are you going by bike? What are you going to do?" Xu Jianbing and Xu Xinning asked worriedly.

"The weather is good, I'm riding around, and I don't know where to go." Xu Ningyu explained vaguely.

Xu Jianbing hesitated to speak.Xiaoyu didn't like to go out, so he was quite happy if he was willing to go out for a walk, if it wasn't for going out with Li Lei.The kid was tall and burly at the age of eleven or twelve, and according to Xiaoxin, fighting with other kids was particularly fierce.In front of Xu Ningyu, he has a good temper and looks like a big brother.

Xu Ningyu pretended not to see her father's entanglement, and turned to pack her small schoolbag.

Just after breakfast, I heard a crisp sound of "ding ding ding" coming from downstairs. It was someone ringing the bicycle bell.

It should be Li Lei who came, but Xu Ningyu said, "I'm leaving." Putting on her small schoolbag, she went out with a "click".

Xu Jianbing looked at his son's excited back, and walked to the railing of the corridor with Xu Xinning.

Downstairs, Li Lei was sitting on the car seat, holding the handlebar with one hand, stretching out one leg, and pointing his toe to the ground.Seeing them, Li Lei waved to them vigorously: "Uncle, sister."

Xu Jianbing nodded to him, but still told him uneasy: "Ride carefully, ride on the side of the road."

"Okay, be careful." Li Lei agreed with a smile.Seeing Xu Ningyu's small figure appearing at the corner of the stairs, he jumped out of the car, ran over and picked up Xu Ningyu a few steps away: "So fast." He carried him to the back seat of the car.

After Li Lei took Xu Ningyu to school on the first day, he put on a piece of clothes from his childhood when he went back at night.The road conditions were bad at this time, otherwise the little fat boy's buttocks would be broken into four sooner or later.

"This kid is so particular." Xu Jianbing saw Li Lei riding Xu Ningyu for the first time, and felt that ordinary boys were not so careful.This child treats Xiaoyu better than his own brother, who fights a lot with his own brothers.He was a little relieved.

Li Lei rode with Xu Ningyu for nearly 10 minutes, and finally stopped at the gate of the post office with a grass-green door.After hugging Xu Ningyu out of the car, Li Lei locked the car before pulling him in.

Xu Ningyu had been to the post office in his previous life, but it was the first time for Li Lei to look at the furnishings in the house curiously.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a large line-shaped counter, which separates the inside and the outside.There were two young female staff sitting at the counter, knitting sweaters and chatting, full of life.

The counter was so high that Xu Ningyu couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.He looked up, and Li Lei immediately understood, hugged his waist, and lifted him up at once, just enough to look at the people at the counter.

"This is not a place to play, go out and play." The female staff turned her head and glanced, seeing two children coming in, she waved her hand and scolded.

Xu Ningyu didn't pay much attention to it. At this time, the government and the family all had the same attitude. The better the conditions, the more aggressive the temper.He took out the money he had prepared and put it on the counter: "Auntie, I'll buy envelopes. How much is the stamp for sending a letter to other provinces?"

The female staff who was just chatting looked at the money, and then took a serious look at the child in front of her.Oh, so beautiful, even better than the little actor in the movie that said Echo.She immediately called to her colleague: "Xiao Zhang, look at this child, it's so beautiful."

The two female staff squeezed over and asked Xu Ningyu with a smile: "Where are the adults at home? Why do you let your two children come shopping?"

Xu Ningyu repeated helplessly: "Auntie, I buy envelopes and stamps."

Only then did the female employee remember her own job.Seeing such a beautiful child, he would definitely not steal money from adults, so he directly said the price: "Envelopes cost 20 cents each. Sending letters to this city costs 40 cents of stamps, and sending letters to other cities costs [-] cents of stamps."

"It's so expensive!" Li Lei couldn't help but shouted out in surprise.Isn't it just a thin piece of paper, how dare you ask for so much money!

According to the average salary estimate, one yuan in this era is about equal to ten yuan in later generations, but many times you have money but you can’t buy things, unlike later generations who are rich in commodities.

The price of stamps is indeed not cheap. Xu Ningyu brought all his savings today, nine yuan and fifty cents.It's inconvenient to come here once. He originally planned to buy more envelopes and stamps, but it seems that he can't buy many.

"Auntie, please take ten envelopes and ten 40-cent stamps." Xu Ningyu couldn't help but feel a little distressed after spending more than half of the money at once.But there is someone who is more distressed than him.

Li Lei couldn't help thinking: "Is it useful for us to make the envelope ourselves? It's too expensive, just a little paper."

This guy seems to take money very seriously.Xu Ningyu ignored him, took the envelope and stamps, and signaled Li Lei to put herself down.Although Li Lei is only 11 years old, he is still very strong, and he did not feel tired after lifting for such a long time.

Xu Ningyu walked to a table in the corner of the post office, lay down on the table and began to fill in the envelope.In the column of the recipient, I wrote the address copied from the magazine in advance, and in the column of the sender, I wrote "Xu Ningyu, a third grader in Mine 48 Middle School".

Li Lei held his chin beside him.Look at Xu Ningyu's brushstrokes.The little fat boy's serious appearance is so cute.

During this period, the two female employees ran out purposely to see that the child Xu Ningyu could really write. The two of them were surprised: "It's amazing, such a big child can write."

"Xiaoyu has already skipped a grade to the third grade. He can write long compositions." Li Lei routinely boasted to Xu Ningyu.

The two female staff were stunned, and asked him for a while about Xu Ningyu's skipping a grade.Li Lei told others that Xu Ningyu was in the third grade at the age of seven, and she got [-] points in every exam,

After hearing a lot of gossip, the people who came to buy stamps couldn't wait any longer, and the two female staff went back behind the counter contentedly.

Xu Ningyu filled out the envelope silently, took out the letter paper on which the manuscript was written from the small schoolbag, compared the title and magazine, folded them and put them in different envelopes.Li Lei also helped glue the envelopes together.

The back of the stamp has its own glue, which can be attached to the envelope with a little water.After everything was done, Xu Ningyu checked it again before asking Li Lei to stuff the letter into the large mailbox at the door of the post office.

"Is that all right? Then your composition will be published in the magazine later?" Li Lei clapped his hands, looking very excited.It was his first time posting a letter.

"Not necessarily, it depends on whether people are willing to ask for what I wrote." Xu Ningyu didn't dare to guarantee it.He was an unknown student, and his magazine might receive a sack of submission letters a day from all over the country, and he might never see the articles he sent.

Li Lei is more confident than him: "Then why not? I read your composition better than the text! The text is boring, but your writing is much more interesting."

The corners of Xu Ningyu's mouth curled up, and then quickly pressed down.There is nothing to be happy about being praised by Li Lei, who can't touch the textbook for a while.Recently, under Xu Ningyu's persecution, Li Lei managed to do a few calculation problems correctly, and felt that he was almost invincible, and even dared to criticize the textbooks.

He looked around and said to Li Lei: "Let's go shopping in the street." It's still early, and he doesn't need to go back so soon, he wants to see what shops are in the town, and spend money when he has money.

"Okay, I haven't been here for a long time." Li Lei immediately happily carried Xu Ningyu to the back seat of the car, and took him around on the bicycle.

In fact, there is nothing to go shopping in the town, just a cross street with few pedestrians, and you can see the end at a glance.There are a few shops scattered along the roadside, including small shops selling daily necessities, two small restaurants, and a tailor shop.

There is a small shop next to the post office, and the words "daily goods" are written in red paint on the cement brick wall next to the door.Xu Ningyu saw that Li Lei's lips were chapped just now, thought for a while, and walked over.

The store is very small, and there is no place to turn around if there is one more person.Li Lei stretched his head to see that there was nothing unusual about the commissary, so he pushed the cart and waited outside.

Most of the shelves were filled with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Xu Ningyu looked up and saw a crudely packaged drink, which looked like bottled beer.The bottle was pasted with paper, with the words "Sherbet" printed on it in big letters.

He remembered that he drank sherbet when he was a child. It was a very popular drink at this time. It is said that the raw material is concentrated fruit juice.However, he guessed that a lot of pigment must have been added, and the color was bright dark red.

There were no other drinks in the store, so Xu Ningyu asked the boss: "Uncle, how much is the sherbet?"

"Little friend, this one costs two yuan, and the bottle is [-] cents back." The service attitude of the owner who opened the store outside was obviously much better. Xu Ningyu came in and looked around, and he didn't stop him, smiling all the time.

At that time, there were not as many types of drinks as later generations, and this kind of glass bottled sherbet was a relatively high-end drink.Usually, parents are not willing to buy it for their children. They can only drink it during festivals or banquets.

The boss didn't think the kid could afford it, so he probably asked for nothing and didn't care.
