It is a letter sent by Cen Zhengnian.
I opened the letter in early summer, and there were only seven words in it: I'm fine, don't worry.
Cen Zhengnian.
No more
Chuxia shook the envelope and made sure there was only one letter inside and nothing else.
"An An, do you want to read your father's letter?"
“No.”
Cen Huaian watered his vegetables and lay beside the earthenware pot looking at the soil: Why haven’t they grown yet
When he was hungry in the past, he hoped that his father would appear and give him food like other people’s fathers so that he wouldn’t be hungry.
But his father never showed up, so he lost all expectations and even hated the father who always lived in his letters.
If you don't want to support him, then why do you want him
Chu Xia looked towards the inner room. The curtain blocked her view, but Cen Huaian's tone was wrong. What child wouldn't miss his father
But if she were Cen Huaian, she wouldn't want to either. After all, this father wasn't there when Cen Huaian was starving, so this kind of father is not qualified.
Chuxia felt that he was just a cash machine and his letters lacked genuine emotion.
I heard that the Li Guang apricots in the Northwest are very sweet and delicious, and the grapes in the Northwest are also famous for their sweetness, as well as watermelons.
No, the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to eat it. Watermelon is cold in nature, so she and Cen Huaian didn't plan to buy it until they were in good health, otherwise they would get diarrhea if they ate it.
Chuxia took out the fountain pen she bought specifically for studying. Since she didn't have any special letter paper, she used the notebook paper she used to take notes when studying.
"Zhengnian:
Zhan Xinjia. Knowing that you are doing well in the Northwest, An An and I are relieved. An An is five years old now and looks a lot like you. "
She didn't know if it looked like it or not. The Cen Zhengnian in the original owner's memory was very vague. After all, they hadn't seen each other for four years. But it wasn't wrong to write it this way.
"He is very smart, just like you. I teach him to read every night, but he always learns very quickly, which makes me feel unsatisfied. I will send you a copy of his handwriting.
He now helps me with some housework within his ability. I gave him the vegetables grown on the windowsill at home, and he is taking good care of them. "
Although the vegetables have not grown yet, considering Cen Huaian's dedication, it is only a matter of time before they grow. She just said it in advance, and by the time the letter arrives, the vegetables will definitely have grown.
"It's been so many years since you left that An An doesn't even remember you. I can't quite remember what you look like either. I wanted to show An An a picture of you, but I couldn't find one at home. But don't worry, I'll tell him about you.
Recently, An An and I are planning to eat more meat to replenish our bodies. We used to be reluctant to spend money on food and clothing, but now we think we should keep ourselves healthy so that you can feel at ease when you are outside.
Today I am going to stew crucian carp soup. The crucian carp is fresh and tender. It tastes very delicious with just simple addition of onion, ginger and salt. Adding some wolfberry can improve eyesight and nourish the body. It's a pity that you are not at home and cannot taste this delicacy.
But I heard that the Northwest is rich in cattle and sheep, so you must have plenty of cattle and sheep to eat. Also, I read in a book that the Li Guang apricots and grapes in the Northwest are very sweet, but I wonder how sweet they are? An An and I have not tasted the beef and mutton and fruits in the Northwest yet, so I hope we can have a chance to eat them in the future.
Finally, I hope everything goes well for you in the Northwest and that you can return home soon.
