Yang Rui had a good meal in the shade of a tree and went down the mountain slowly to the post office in the town to collect his remittance.
The post office is a relatively new building in the town. It has two floors. The exterior is painted with grey. It has double wooden doors to welcome guests. It operates below and operates above.
The sales department is also divided into three parts. In the middle is the counter for collecting letters and parcels, where the payment and invoice are all made. On both sides of it are telephone booths and places for storing letters and parcels, each with a salesperson at work.
Compared with the post office in xizhaizi Township, the post office in Xibao town is magnificent, which is also the reason why there are many small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in this town. Bicycles parked at the door, as well as people queuing at telephone booths, are mostly from nearby state-owned enterprises.
When Yang Rui enters the door, she is seen by elder sister Li on the counter. She stops her work and says hello to Yang Rui. She shouts at the top of her voice: "sister Wu, brother Yang is here."
"What are you shouting about? It''s Yang Rui, not brother Yang." An 18-or-9-year-old girl came in from the backyard and said angrily. Shuilingling''s big eyes looked at Yang Rui and said with a smile, "Yang Rui, are you coming to collect the contribution again?"
"Yes, I''m running out of money." Yang Rui nodded honestly.
"My mother also said that I''m extravagant. You''ve spent dozens of yuan this month." Wu''s sister, Wu Qian, grew up in the same yard with Yang Rui. She was two years younger than him. After graduating from junior high school, she replaced her mother to work in the post office. Because she was beautiful and young, she was quite strange. Since I met Yang Rui, I have to tease him every time. Elder sister Li, who is the oldest in the Institute, also cooperated very well and called Wu Qian out every time.
Yang Rui helpless way: "is growing body, eat more."
"I grow up, too. The monthly board expenses are only 10 yuan, and the rest is confiscated by my mother." Wu Qian complains and puts two lists on the counter for Yang Rui to fill in.
Yang Rui glanced at Wu Qian''s bulging chest hidden under her sportswear, thinking: no matter how long you are, you can''t wear clothes.
Wu Qian seems to be aware of something, not easy to detect the side of the body, but did not completely evade, mouth chatter of the town gossip.
Yang Rui listened quietly, and at the same time, he filled in the money order carefully.
He also likes to listen to Wu Qian''s voice. The girl''s voice is crisp and soft, crisp from the speed of speech, soft from the tone, giving people a feeling of crispness and tenderness. It''s like light music around the ear. When you don''t think about the content, it has a relaxing effect.
On the other hand, Wu Qian is also a little beauty. Her skin is very white and tender. Her face seems to be able to express a thousand emotions. She is always changing. The so-called 18-year-old girl is not ugly, let alone a 16-year-old girl.
Although a little younger, but also can be regarded as an eye care benefits.
"It''s done." Yang Rui pushed the bills and money orders.
"Let me see." Wu Qian pursed her ruddy lips and checked them carefully.
Elder sister Li also finished the business of the people next to her and said with a smile, "you must see clearly. It will be convenient to check his small account in the future."
"Aunt Li, if you do this again, I won''t talk to you." Wu Qian a Du mouth, coquetry like throw up the braid.
"Well, well, I''ll make tea, and you two young people will talk." Elder sister Li was originally Wu Qian''s mother''s good friend. Wu Qian made a scene, patted her on the back with a smile, and took the cup to the back room.
Wu Qian twisted her waist like a cat. Her chest trembled slightly and Yang Rui coughed.
"If you look around again, you''ll dig out your eyes." Wu Qian put her little head in front of the counter and threatened Yang Rui fiercely.
"I didn''t mean to," Yang Rui said
"On purpose, dig it down now." In order to show her force, Wu Qian made a cat claw movement in the air with her right hand.
Yang Rui has seen the same movement in many girls'' dances. Wu Qian must have never seen it, which makes him feel stunned.
"Well, there''s a mistake here... Fill in a new one." Wu Qian check completed, nail in the amount of a line, and tear to him a list.
Yang Rui was stunned again and said, "it''s not wrong."
"It''s not a mistake. It''s two thousand and thirty-seven yuan on your form. It should be... Eh!"
She stares big eyes to count two sides, wait for Yang Rui to react to come over, suddenly called: "elder sister Li, elder sister Li."
"You child, when you use people, you call Sister Li. When you don''t use people, you call Aunt Li. It''s coming, it''s coming. " Sister Li filled her enamel cup with water, went to the counter and asked, "what''s the matter?"
"There seems to be a mistake in the money order." Wu Qiangang took part in the work. Her salary plus bonus was only 42 yuan. When she saw the contribution fee of 2000 yuan, she said, "that can''t be so much. Don''t lie to me. The contribution fee of Hedong daily is only 15 yuan a thousand words, and 2000 yuan is more than 100000 words. What popular science articles do you write are so long." Wu Qian''s query."My magazine costs a lot."
"How high?" Elder sister Li asked.
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "65 yuan is a thousand words."
Wu Qian''s eyes widened. She calculated that her salary and bonus were 42 yuan a month and 63 yuan a month and a half. She still couldn''t catch up with Yang Rui''s one thousand words contribution
But Sister Li couldn''t help thinking of the three high performers during the movement, the so-called famous directors, famous screenwriters, famous actors, high salaries, high remuneration and high bonuses, These are all the targets to be defeated at that time... Compared with Yang Rui, the remuneration is really high.
"Well, can I withdraw money today?" Yang Rui interrupts two people''s wishful thinking.
Sister Li was surprised: "there is so much money in the Institute. You have to make an appointment."
"Then make an appointment."
"No way." Elder sister Li lowered her voice: "more than 2000 yuan. What should I do if I lose it? What should I do if someone steals it? It''s hard to get it from the Institute. If you go to the county, you''d better get it from the city."
Wu Qian pulled Sister Li: "Yang Rui to the city to get back, on the road was stolen robbed how to do."
"You little girl." Elder sister Li snorted, pushed the remittance bill and said, "I can''t manage it. You can talk to the director and see if he can get it for you."
"I''ll go with you." Wu Qian didn''t go through the door, so she turned out from the counter.
Yang Rui had no choice but to go to the second floor to find the director.
The director of Xibao post office, Wang Guohua''s father, is also an acquaintance. He called the county and made an appointment to withdraw the money tomorrow.
Yang Rui left his unopened bag of front door on the table to thank him.
In the years when the white bar was rampant, it was not news for the post office to remit money to the white bar. It was helpful to get money quickly and smoothly.
When Yang Rui went back to school, Wu Qian stood on the counter and began to look through things. After a while, she found out the pen and paper and began to write one stroke at a time.
When Li asked, Wu Qian said, "I also want to write articles and publish them in magazines."
"Silly girl." Elder sister Li laughed, suppressed Wu Qian''s pen and said in her ear, "if you have time to write articles, you might as well find a good uncle. Do you understand?"
Wu Qian blushed and said, "Aunt Li, you tease me again."
"Aunt Li is not teasing you. Just say that Yang Rui, a young man, has a lot of strength (dialect) and ability. His father is still the Secretary of xizhaizi township. It''s not easy to catch him after two years'' work. If you''re embarrassed to say it, I''ll tell your mother. "
"No, Sister Li." Wu Qian held on to her sleeve.
