Chapter 74 The Big Brother's Package
Reading Settings
The second day, the educated youth compound was quiet. Except for Bai Nuo and two others who were allowed to rest for two days by the brigade leader, everyone else had already gone to work early in the morning.
When Bai Nuo finished washing up, changed into her work clothes, and opened the door, the door opposite was still locked, as if the noise she heard last night was just an illusion.
Bai Nuo tilted her head and looked at the door of her neighbor's house across the street with a puzzled expression: Does this person love doing part-time jobs so much?
"Nono's awake. Do you want to have breakfast together?" Sun Yuxi opened the door when she heard the noise and saw the little girl standing at the door with a confused look on her face. She had a cute and innocent look.
"No need, Sister Yuxi. I bought some steamed egg cakes yesterday. I'll just boil some water later. Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept really well. I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow." Sun Yuxi looked even better than yesterday, and even the super flower next to her looked full of energy.
"That's good. You guys take your time packing. I'll go back to my room and eat something before I start packing too. There are still a bunch of packages on the floor. I haven't even unpacked the things I brought back yesterday."
"Okay, just call us if you need anything." Chao Xianhua peeked out from behind Sun Yuxi and smiled at Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo's coal stove yesterday gave them an idea. They went to ask the brigade leader early this morning, and to their surprise, there was actually one in the brigade's warehouse. Although the brigade doesn't sell them, they can lend it to the two of them for a few days, and return it when the stove is usable.
They knew that Bai Nuo was richer than the two of them and ate better than them. Yesterday, they had already been very generous by going there for dinner. It wouldn't be appropriate to go there for two more days. These days, even when relatives and friends get together for a meal, they have to bring their own food. No one has a surplus of food.
"Okay, don't worry."
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded. After returning to her room, she ate two pieces of sponge cake and drank a glass of milk. Then she sat on the floor and unpacked the large package she had brought back yesterday.
"These are my elder brother's left-handed characters."
Bai Nuo looked at the letter hidden inside the package, and a bright and gentle smile finally appeared on her face.
For so many days, although she seemed normal, she had been holding her breath because she hadn't heard any other news from her family. Now, when she suddenly received a letter from her older brother, that feeling of pressure finally eased.
"Bai Yukai's?" The system flew out invisibly, sat on its host's shoulder, and carefully examined the letter.
"Yes, my older brother told me to live peacefully in the countryside and not to worry about spending money. He said I shouldn't skimp on food, drink, or other necessities. He said he's doing well on Hainan Island and will take good care of myself. He also told me not to worry about my uncle, who is doing much better than us siblings!"
At this point, Bai Nuo couldn't help but laugh. Her older brother and her uncle seemed to be born to be at odds, yet they still managed to be father and son, as if it were a very reluctant arrangement. From childhood to adulthood, they had always enjoyed tricking each other.
When she was a child, her eldest brother would hold her in his arms and cry every time he suffered a loss. Then her eldest brother gradually learned to cheat on his father. He was most happy to watch her grandmother beat her son with a stick. Her eldest brother would be happy every time. When he was happy, he would fly with her in his arms, and then he would be beaten by his uncle and her grandmother.
Although their family is small, it is always very lively.
After carefully placing the letter in the small wooden box in the attic study, Bai Nuo began to rummage through the package.
A yellow polka-dot short-sleeved dress, a pink floral print suspender dress made of polyester, a white polyester Peter Pan collar shirt, and a pair of black round-toed leather shoes with heels. There were also a few pieces of floral cotton fabric, and the rest consisted of baby formula, malted milk powder, candy and other snacks, two single quilts, a pink three-piece bedding set, and a light green three-piece bedding set.
Finally, they found a small cloth bag containing various receipts and five hundred yuan.
“My older brother was a deputy battalion commander two years ago. I remember my grandmother said before he left home that he should be promoted because of his merits. He should be a battalion commander now. How long has that been his allowance?”
The system quickly calculated: "Based on the officer salaries in this timeline and the fact that Bai Yukai's unit is a frontline combat unit, his salary should be higher, so it's probably between ninety-eight and one hundred and one yuan a month."
"That's almost half a year's worth of allowance, and he gave it to me. What did he spend it on?!"
The system tilted its head and looked at its host, gently reassuring him: "Don't worry, host. Bai Yukai is much smarter than you. He definitely won't starve himself. The army provides food, clothing, and lodging, and he should also receive a lot of bonuses. He won't be poor."
Bai Nuo blinked at the money in her hand, then accepted it without hesitation: "That's true, my older brother is smarter than me."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with being the least intelligent person in the family. Everyone in the family was smart, so she could lie down comfortably and happily accept being fed by her family.
Anyway, she will work hard to earn money, so if her older brother suddenly runs out of money one day, she can use the money to support him.
"A-Tong, how's the clone going?" Bai Nuo temporarily put these things by the kang (a heated brick bed), so she could put them all in the side cabinet once it was finished. However, she didn't forget her next sales target.
She felt that since the fat pig director in Shanghai had such a large family fortune, this one must be just as well, and she was starting to get a little envious.
Of course, if that person is a good person, she can salvage some conscience and not touch him. She can go find those rotten directors again, and she can take the money with a clear conscience, since she is a good person anyway.
"We've made some progress. Host, no rush. We'll summarize everything together tonight."
