Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 336: Packages from Beijing

All kinds of dried seafood and meat snacks on clearance sale, don’t miss out while passing by!

Such a great deal!

She was worried she might not be able to grab any dried goods at the department store tomorrow, and now they are being delivered to her doorstep.

No way, she must quickly snatch some, otherwise, if she’s too slow, she won’t get anything.

Liu Cuilan was just about to turn to her third daughter to talk about finding a partner, to prevent her from being truly fooled by some scoundrel in the future, like those two today.

She absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Just ready to have a good chat with her third daughter, she turned her head only to see her youngest dashing into her room hugging a jar of pickles.

"Mom, I have something to do, I’ll head back to my room, it won’t take long."

Liu Cuilan sighed, all right, given how her youngest is, she’s probably not at all focused on finding a partner.

Ah, the last time that Comrade Zhou was so good, handsome, still a captain, with limitless prospects, she really doesn’t know what kind her youngest is looking for.

However, son’s fortunes are their own, as long as she doesn’t find someone like those two today, she has no opinion on what kind her youngest finds.

Just thinking about it, the courtyard gate that had just been closed was knocked on again.

Liu Cuilan frowned, who is it now? Why is her house so lively at night?

Thinking this, she turned around and went back to open the courtyard gate.

Outside the door stood a young man with a straight posture, wearing a uniform and carrying two large parcels behind him.

"Hello, is this Su Xiaoxiao’s house? Here are two parcels from Beijing for her, kindly ask her to sign for them."

The young man spoke very politely.

Liu Cuilan immediately recognized him as the postman responsible for their village.

Parcels from Beijing?

If she remembers correctly, that Captain Zhou is in Beijing, has he still not given up? Sending things again?

"Youngest, your parcels are here, come and sign for them quickly."

Not wanting to keep the postman waiting, she hurriedly turned back and called into the house.

Su Xiaoxiao had just grabbed a pile of dried seafood and various meat snacks.

The price was about one-third of usual, not snatching would feel like losing money.

She didn’t even look carefully, just filled her shopping cart like crazy.

She had just finished paying when she heard Liu Cuilan calling her from outside the door.

"Coming right away."

She quickly responded, opened the door, and went out.

Just as she walked to the courtyard gate, she saw the postman carrying two large parcels.

The postman saw her come out, quickly put down the parcels, and took out a form for her to sign: "Comrade Su, please sign here."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the two bulging parcels and couldn’t help twitching her lips, she knew without thinking who sent these things.

No, hadn’t she made it clear enough last time at dinner, how come they’re still sending so many things?

Originally thinking both were from Zhou Cheng, only after the postman left did she notice that one was indeed from Zhou Cheng, but the other was from Song Weidong.

Opening the parcels, the contents were surprisingly similar.

Imported chocolates, Hero pens, hair ornaments, clothes...

Two big parcels full, and except for the styles being different, the types of items were mostly the same.

To be fair, the two of them had a much better eye for picking clothes than her two brothers.

Su Xiaoxiao quite liked the clothes.

Trying them on against herself, the sizes were unexpectedly perfect.

Zhou Cheng sent her a dark blue velvet suit dress, and Song Weidong sent an olive green velvet cheongsam, both styles Su Xiaoxiao really liked.

But looking at these two big parcels in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit troubled.

Constantly accepting their things, she’s really a bit embarrassed.

The three of them aren’t even that close, sending her so many things every time makes her feel uneasy.

Just at this moment, her two younger brothers finished their homework and came out.

Seeing the two big piles of things on the table, their eyes went round.

"Third sister, where did all these goodies come from? Are we rich now?"

Su Jianwu immediately noticed the chocolates with English writing, something he had seen wealthy classmates enjoying before.

It seemed to be called something chocolate, imported, he had never tasted it before.

Couldn’t help but gulp, he leaned forward: "Third sister, are these chocolates good? What do they taste like? I once saw Wang Jianshe from my class eating them, he said they were imported."

Su Jianwen said nothing, but his eyes were also eagerly eyeing the two boxes of chocolate.

Both of them looked on eagerly, looking rather pitiful.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a box: "If you want to eat, open it and have some, share them with mom and the others."

"Third sister, you’re the best, you’re truly my real sister."

Su Jianwu jumped up excitedly.

"What do you mean ’truly your real sister’, wasn’t I always your real sister?"

Su Xiaoxiao glared.

Su Jianwu scratched his head in embarrassment, too excited and slipped his tongue.

"Alright, take them and eat."

The two cheered and ran off with the chocolates to share.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the envelopes in the packages, opened them one by one to take a look.

Their choice of gifts was similar, but their letter-writing styles were vastly different.

Song Weidong’s letters were full of interesting stories, amusing observations, and gossip from the army.

Zhou Cheng’s letters were more like a daily log of training, detailed and thorough.

But both ended with a strong hope that Su Xiaoxiao would reply.

With two letters like this, Su Xiaoxiao truly felt a bit of a headache.

Just writing would take quite a bit.

In this era, with no computers or printers, all communication relied on handwritten letters.

She hadn’t written in a long time, felt like her hand would be exhausted after finishing these two letters.

Moreover, with them sending her so many things, she had to reciprocate a bit, send some return gifts or something.

What should she send?

She suddenly remembered the huge pile of dried meat and seafood snacks she just ordered, and immediately had an idea.

The army is in a remote location, self-sufficient, and probably short on meat and seafood, so she decided to send each of them a package as a return gift.

As soon as she thought of it, Su Xiaoxiao carefully packed up the two big piles of stuff on the table and turned to the room to check the items she just ordered.

The guy selling the meat snacks was the same guy who sold her the Laoganma last time, and seeing it was her, he enthusiastically sent the most expensive express, adding quite a bit extra for her.

In his words, "Brother’s got money to spare, just wanting to make friends with you."

So, in just a short while, the things she had ordered were already delivered.

Su Xiaoxiao put the two letters in a drawer, thought for a second, and entered her small warehouse space.

In one corner of the small warehouse, several large boxes neatly stacked, all with the same brand logo.

Thinking of all the tasty dried meat snacks, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

She eagerly opened the biggest box.
