Chapter 130

A-Min's mother didn't stop her when she saw her daughter jumping away.

She was very relieved about Uncle Ghost. Last year, when she was sick and hospitalized, her daughter delivered food to her at night. As a result, she encountered a drunkard harassing her when she left the hospital. It was Uncle Ghost, who was a hospital security guard, who stood up. Although he was old, he was upright and strong, and easily drove the drunkard away.

Afterwards, he helped a lot when she was discharged from the hospital and saw that she was an orphan and a widow.

It's just that Uncle Ghost is illiterate. He claimed to be a soldier who retreated to Taiwan with Old Chiang back then. He had to ask A-Min to help him write letters to his family left in the mainland, and the mailing address was always her house.

Zhou Huimin's house is not far from Queen Mary Hospital. It takes a while to go around the mountain road.

She was very curious about the content of the letter all the way. Living for 13 years, this was the first time she had corresponded with a mainlander.

However, the sender and address were not the ones she wrote, but Wei Ming, Peking University.

What is the relationship between this person and Uncle Ghost?

And is this Peking University the legendary Peking University, one of the highest institutions of learning in the mainland?

Could this Wei Ming be a student at Peking University? However, his handwriting is indeed good, but she heard that the mainland uses simplified characters. How can he also use traditional characters?

Arriving at Queen Mary Hospital, Uncle Ghost happened to be on duty at the guard post. He was very tall, and Zhou Huimin saw him at a glance.

She waved at Uncle Ghost, holding a letter in her hand.

Uncle Ghost's poker face immediately glowed with a different look.

He hurriedly ran out: "Is, is it the reply from there?"

"It should be a letter for you, from the mainland, but the sender and address are not quite right," Zhou Huimin said, "Do you want me to help you open it and see?"

After Uncle Ghost took the letter, he glanced at it. Wei Ming? Peking University?

He shook his head: "No need, I'm still working. Let a colleague help me read it after work. Thank you, A-Min. You go back quickly, don't let your mother worry."

Zhou Huimin couldn't believe it. You asked me to write the letter, and you find someone else to read it, right?

"Really don't need it? I can help you write letters after reading the letter." She said eagerly, very eager to help others.

"Really don't need it," Uncle Ghost was very strong, and directly helped her bicycle and the person turn around, "Go back quickly, it's not safe when it's dark."

Zhou Huimin "snorted," obviously a little disappointed because she didn't see other people's family letters. I won't help you write letters anymore!

Seeing the little girl go far away, Old Ghost returned to his post and opened the letter with trembling hands.

The first sentence was Wei Ming's self-introduction.

Grandson? The eldest grandson of the Wei family!

But Xiu'er has already passed away? She is not even sixty years old! Uncle Ghost's face couldn't hide his sadness. His letter was finally late after all.

However, seeing that Gou Dan is doing well, Uncle Ghost finally felt a little relieved. And this naughty boy now has both a son and a daughter. Although he has no great achievements, both children are good. The granddaughter studies well, and the eldest grandson actually became a writer, and he is already slightly famous. He is only 19 years old! This is already very amazing. No wonder this letter was returned by him.

The grandson also mentioned Gou Sheng's situation. Gou Sheng is even more amazing. He actually got into Peking University and was a soldier. He is a master of both literature and martial arts!

It's just that A-Yan is also gone!

You two must have suffered. Uncle Ghost's eyes became muddy.

The people who used to be are no longer there. Things are different!

At the end of this letter, Wei Ming wrote: "We are thousands of miles apart. I am very happy to correspond with you. I hope to hear more news about you."

Seeing this sentence, Uncle Ghost's heart trembled violently. He, did he guess it?!

After reading this letter twice, Uncle Ghost thought about how to reply.

When Zhou Huimin returned home, her mother immediately asked: "How is it? What does the letter say? Is Uncle Ghost's family okay?"

Zhou Huimin said angrily: "Uncle Ghost didn't let me see it at all. He said he would let a colleague help read the letter after work, and then sent me away."

Her mother thought for a while: "He might be embarrassed to cry in front of you."

"Ah?"

"Having lost contact with his family for so many years, and just receiving a letter from home, his emotions must be very complicated. Crying is inevitable."

"Will such a big man cry too?"

Mother: "Men are also human."

Zhou Huimin thought about it, and it made sense.

If he doesn't let me see it, he doesn't let me see it. She remembered another important thing: "Mom, shall we watch TV for a while? 'The Bund' is being rebroadcast today."

"You've already watched the premiere, why watch it again? Hurry up and do your homework. You have to do your homework for at least an hour before you can watch it." Her mother said strictly.

A-Min: "But I also did homework during the day."

Mother: "But you also watched TV during the day."

"It will be over in an hour~" Zhou Huimin muttered, but obediently took out her schoolbag.

Suddenly, she thought that one of the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher was "make a pen pal," preferably outside Hong Kong Island.

There are many students on a student newspaper designated by the school who leave their names and addresses to recruit pen pals. There are those from Hong Kong Island, those from the outlying islands, and those from Kowloon. The students all plan to choose from them. However, some students said they wanted to find pen pals from Taiwan or Singapore.

Pen pals, of course, the farther and stranger the better. Zhou Huimin got up and looked at the world map at home, and measured it with a ruler. She found that Yanjing is very far from Hong Kong Island, about the same as Singapore.

So after Zhou Huimin returned to her seat, she took out letter paper and began to write at her desk: "Wei Ming: Hello, I am a middle school student in Hong Kong. You can call me A-Min. Can we be friends..."

An hour later, her mother looked at Zhou Huimin, who was still bowing her head to do homework. It was really rare. She smiled slightly, looked at her husband's memorial tablet again, and put her hands together.

"I don't ask A-Min to be rich and noble, I only ask her to be healthy, to be admitted to university, and then find a man who treats her well, give birth to... Oh, it seems a bit greedy. I know you don't have that much ability, but this is what you owe our mother and daughter. You find a way yourself below."

Before dark, Wei Ming and Liu Rulong returned to Ping'an County, and then the two returned to Liu Rulong's grandfather Yang Songqiao's house together. Wei Ming officially thanked the old man for the snuff bottle last time, and Melinda loved it.

A-Long's mother, Yang Laoshi Shutin, was also there. Wei Ming learned about Wei Hong's study situation from her again.

According to Yang Laoshi: "She has always learned English very well. She is my class representative, and other subjects have also made rapid progress recently. Thanks to the study materials you brought back from Yanjing, the overall improvement of the students in our No. 1 Middle School is very obvious."

Wei Ming said modestly: "It's good to be able to help. For their generation, being admitted to university is a very important opportunity to change their destiny."

As usual, he didn't stay long, rode Old Yang's motorcycle and headed towards home. This time he didn't have many things on him. Many things he wanted to buy were brought back by his parents in advance.

!

And as soon as Wei Ming left, A-Long was called to the room by his mother.

She told her son: "We won't go back to Foshan for the New Year this year."

A-Long: "Is it because of Dad?"

Mother nodded: "Dad is not here, and I am not familiar with his cousins. Why go back?"

A-Long nodded: "Okay, Mom, I can make money now. Don't worry, I will go to Hong Kong to pick Dad up when the time comes!"

Yang Shutin touched her son's head: "Good boy, you have grown up."

"Also thank A-Ming, he has been leading me. Mom, you don't know how amazing he is now!"

"I know, 'The Herdsman' has been read by almost everyone in our school."

"No, no, no, his amazingness is far more than that!"

You don't know Wei Shenme and Wei Kuangren yet!

This time Wei Ming rode a motorcycle back to Gouzitun almost without attracting attention.

After all, it was cold, and there was no electricity in the village. After dark, there was almost no one on the street. And this time Wei Ming didn't pass through the village, but returned directly to his home on the edge of the village.

When hearing the sound of the motorcycle, his own door opened immediately. Wei Hong, with two small braids, shouted in surprise: "Brother!"

Wei Ming pushed the motorcycle in, and his mother Xu Shufen hurriedly came out with a smile: "Knowing you are coming back today, I have been waiting for you to eat."

Wei Ming glanced at the newly built west room and the pigs in the pigsty and laughed: "I guessed you were waiting for me, so I didn't agree when Yang Laoshi and the others asked me to eat."

Wei Jiefang said excitedly: "Xiao Ming, do you think we should open Moutai today, or open Canguiyangrong wine!"

He had long been greedy for these two high-end wines and had been waiting for a formal occasion.

It was a bit cold, Wei Ming rubbed his hands: "Why don't we have some vodka? That wine is strong and warm."

"Okay, then let's drink vodka!"

Speaking of vodka, Wei Hong remembered the faces of her father showing off that they ate at Old Mo. It was too much. Only she hadn't eaten Western food in the family of four!

No, I must get into Peking University as soon as possible!

Today's meal is very rich, with eggs and meat. Mom also opened a bottle of fruit canned food left by Wei Ming before.

Wei Ming praised his mother's craftsmanship: "Much better than the school cafeteria!"

Wei Hong hurriedly asked: "Then how about the Peking University cafeteria compared to the county middle school cafeteria?"

Wei Ming: "That must be much better than the county middle school. You can basically see no meat in the meals of the county middle school."

Wei Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured."

Wei Ming laughed: "So confident in getting into Peking University? It's not that you can definitely get into Peking University just by being the first in the school grade."

Wei Jiefang said proudly: "This final exam is the county ranking, and Xiao Hong got the first place!"

Wei Hong added: "And far ahead of the second place!"

During the movement, almost every commune had a high school department. Later, some were cut, but there were still four commune high schools, and the county also had two high schools. There were six high schools in a county. It is very amazing that Xiao Hong can be the first, basically reaching the level of Uncle Ping'an back then.

"Oh," Wei Ming laughed, "Then I will wait for you at Peking University next year. If you get into Peking University, I will reward you with a bicycle."

Wei Hong's eyes lit up.

Wei Ming was also very happy: The big broken car finally has a successor!

The younger sister said excitedly: "Brother, don't wait until next year, I want to get into Peking University this year!"
