Gu Jiandong's eyes sparkled, and the pitiful look in his eyes disappeared. He put on his backpack and pulled Shen Shuyu out.
On the way, Shen Shuyu met Goudan and the others. Shen Shuyu asked them to help Gu Jiandong cut grass for the pigs. It was just two baskets of grass, not a difficult task. Goudan and the other children patted their chests and said, "Sister Shuyu, don't worry. We will help Brother Jiandong cut his share and won't let the scorekeeper deduct his work points."
Shen Shuyu touched their heads one by one and said, "I'm at ease with you guys doing the work."
The children were noisily running up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs. Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong left the village.
They came out late and the ox cart had already left. Fortunately, Shen Shuyu didn't plan to ride in the ox cart.
The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the county town. Shen Shuyu took him to make a phone call. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Shen Shuyu dialed another number, and this time someone answered, "Hello, is this Uncle Zhou?"
A strong voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's Shu Yu, what's the matter with you calling?"
Phone calls were expensive at the moment, so Shen Shuyu didn't waste any time talking. "Uncle Zhou, I wanted to ask if you have any news about Uncle Gu?"
"He was transferred to the Northwest last month, and I can't get in touch with him. Is Jiandong doing well in the countryside?"
"He's fine." After letting Gu Jiandong talk to Uncle Zhou for a few words, Shen Shuyu took the phone and said, "Uncle Zhou, Gu Jiandong is lucky. He picked a Ganoderma lucidum. I'll send it to you later. Remember to pick up the package."
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I won't be polite with you. Your aunt bought you two sets of clothes. The package will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. Come out and pick it up then."
In less than two minutes, she said everything she needed to say, hung up the phone, wrote down the address, handed the package to the staff, paid the money, and left the post office.
Seeing that Gu Jiandong was in a bad mood, Shen Shuyu took him to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal.
"Gu Jiandong, don't be sad. We can't get through to your parents on the phone, but we can write to him. They will receive the letter." Shen Shuyu comforted Gu Jiandong, but she was also worried about Uncle Gu and his wife.
That's the northwest, a desert filled with wind and sand. You can eat a mouthful of sand with every opening of your mouth. It can be said that living there is extremely difficult.
Hearing that he could write to his parents, Gu Jiandong's face became less sad. He counted on his fingers and said, "I have been in the countryside for a long time. I don't know if my parents miss me. I miss them."
Two plates of dumplings and a dish of braised pork were served on the table. Gu Jiandong, who had been in a bad mood, smiled again after eating the dumplings and braised pork.
Shen Shuyu took him to the supply and marketing cooperative again. Gu Jiandong had eaten and drunk his fill and had nothing to buy. Seeing the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, Gu Jiandong just looked around curiously.
After walking around, Gu Jiandong lost interest. "Shu Yu, let's go back. I want to go back and play with Goudan and the others."
"Then let's take the mountain road back." The mountain road that Shen Shuyu took Gu Jiandong on could go directly up the mountain.
Two hours later, they arrived at a familiar hilltop. Heidan saw them from a distance and shouted,
"Sister Shuyu, Brother Jiandong, we are here."
"Go play with them. I'll come find you when it's time to go home."
Separated from Gu Jiandong, Shen Shuyu walked in the opposite direction and walked into the entrance of the deep mountains.
He lowered his head to pick up a pile of stones, climbed up a big tree, and saw a wild animal coming out. Shen Shuyu threw a small stone and hit it with every throw.
The pheasants and hares that were jumping around just now fell down in an instant.
Hanging on the tree, Shen Shuyu also saw three wild boars coming out together.
The three wild boars were fat and strong, and their fangs were scary. Although he was strong, he was not strong enough to knock the wild boars unconscious with one punch.
Besides, the wild boar wouldn't be stupid enough to just stand there and let her hit it.
Shen Shuyu knew very well how capable she was. She couldn't defeat three wild boars with her bare hands, so she wouldn't provoke them.
