My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 168 People live up to their names

"Someone is mailing something inside, we need to wait a bit longer..." Gu Yingzhou suddenly said.

His stature was distinctively tall in this era of scarce resources.

Standing in line, he could see inside with just a glance.

Lin Tang turned her head to look at the person behind her, then responded, "Oh."

It was hard to tell that he was actually such a warm-hearted person.

Gu Yingzhou looked at the girl’s expressionless little face and didn’t know why, but he found her cute.

His usually stern heart softened a bit.

"I’m Gu Yingzhou, Yingzhou with the ’Ying’ of ocean, and ’zhou’ of a flat boat," the man initiated.

After he had finished speaking, his gaze deepened.

It was as if he hadn’t expected himself to be so proactive.

It was the first time he had introduced himself so formally to someone.

Lin Tang glanced at Gu Yingzhou, then politely said, "My name is Lin Tang, the ’Tang’ of Chinese crabapple."

Lin Tang?

Gu Yingzhou looked at the young girl’s pretty face, and nodded slightly.

As beautiful as her name.

"Mm, Comrade Lin."

Lin Tang had little interaction with male comrades other than her family and didn’t quite know what to say at the moment.

So, she found a casual topic.

"Comrade Gu, do you know about the cultural performances at the Textile Factory today and tomorrow?"

Gu Yingzhou’s eyebrows lifted lightly.

"Yes, do you plan to go watch it?"

"Yes, I’ll go have a look since I’m off work," Lin Tang answered.

Gu Yingzhou scanned her delicate and beautiful face, thinking that the young girl must not be of age yet.

It was normal for her to be curious.

"It’s good to go and watch. The Wenyi Group from the Provincial City is quite decent," he commented.

Lin Tang was surprised and asked offhandedly, "Are you from the Provincial City?"

"No," Gu Yingzhou denied and, for some reason, explained, "I’m from Jing City. I just transferred here recently for work."

As for what work, the man didn’t elaborate.

The two chatted idly for a while, and time seemed to pass a bit more quickly.

They hadn’t reached the entrance of the Post Office yet when an elderly woman in ragged clothing staggered over to Lin Tang.

"Young lady, could you please help me with something?" the old woman’s cloudy eyes were full of pleading.

She looked exhausted and covered in dust.

Her clothes were torn and ragged, her hair a mess.

Lin Tang was always generous in helping the elderly and children she encountered outside.

So, she asked, "What’s the matter? Please tell me first."

If she could help, she would.

Some tasks may be very difficult for the elderly, but trivial for the younger generation.

Everyone’s family has elders; a helping hand accumulates good karma.

Of course, helping others should always come with the priority of ensuring one’s own safety.

The old woman took out a yellowed piece of paper, her voice trembling, "I want to send a letter, but I can’t write..."

Saying this, she looked at Lin Tang nervously, her heart in her throat for fear of being rejected.

Her eldest grandson had fallen from a tree, resulting in a big gash on his head.

The villagers took him to the hospital where they said he was mostly fine.

But the doctor mentioned the child had lost too much blood and it would be best to have some nutritional product.

She, a simple rural woman, didn’t understand much.

So, she thought of writing to her son in the Army, to see if he had any solutions.

Their brigade was in a remote place with few literate people, so she brought two pieces of paper from home, hoping to try her luck here.

Understanding the elderly woman’s intention, Lin Tang immediately said, "Would you like me to help you write the letter?"

The old woman nodded shyly.

"I would like to trouble you to help me write a letter.

My son is in the Army, and my grandson has injured his head. We are in need of nutritional products, and I have no other way, so I want to ask my son."

A military family?

Thinking of her own Grand Hall brother who also devoted his youth and passion to the country, Lin Tang agreed without hesitation.

It wasn’t something difficult; it was just writing a letter, not a big problem.

"Alright, I’ll write it for you."

Lin Tang took the paper from the elderly woman and pulled out a fountain pen from her small bag.

By now, she had made it to the doorway of the Post Office.

The door frame could barely serve as a desk.

Just that there was nothing to use as a pad.

That’s when.

Gu Yingzhou handed Lin Tang a notebook.

"Use this as a pad," he suggested.

Lin Tang saw it was a light blue notebook with the words ’Heping’ printed on it.

Took it.

"Thank you."

Lin Tang wrote quickly, with a notebook as a pad, and soon finished the letter.

After finishing, she quietly read it back to the old woman.

The old lady smiled and nodded persistently.

"That’s right, not a single mistake. You’ve troubled yourself, what a kind-hearted young girl."

Lin Tang smiled, not thinking much of it.

"Do you have an address? I’m almost up to the front, I can help you send it on my way."

When she said this, she wasn’t thinking of asking for money.

The weathered old grandma before her was an honorable military family member.

She was willing to spend money for the family of a soldier.

The old lady’s home was far, and just going out took half a day.

She was anxious to return to the brigade.

Lin Tang’s words struck a chord in her heart.

"Can you do it?" The old lady felt particularly embarrassed.

She had already troubled this young girl so much.

It truly was...

Lin Tang beamed a light smile, "Yes, it’s on the way."

The old lady, seeing that she didn’t seem unwilling, breathed a sigh of relief.

Pulling out a tattered little piece of paper.

"Then I’ll trouble you, this is the address."

Lin Tang glanced at it and took note.

Then, she gave the paper back.

"All right, I’ve remembered it. I’ll help you send it out in a moment."

Huh?

The old lady was baffled.

Remembered it just by looking once?

Thinking this, the old lady directly asked.

"That’s sufficient?"

Lin Tang repeated the address and said with a smile, "Yes, I have a good memory."

"Oh oh." The old woman responded vacantly.

She took out twenty cents.

And forced it into Lin Tang’s hand.

"Girl, this is for the postage. You’ve really helped me out today."

Thank goodness for this kind-hearted girl.

Otherwise, who knows if she could have managed her business today.

The old lady, as if afraid of taking advantage of Lin Tang, stuffed the money into her hand and quickly stepped back.

She looked at her with trusting eyes.

"I’ll leave this letter in your hands."

Lin Tang looked at the money in her hand and then at the old lady’s insistent gaze, and instantly dispelled any thought of giving it back.

The military dependents of these times were truly lovely.

They inspired genuine admiration!

"Please be assured."

Upon receiving a conclusive response, the old lady’s face broke into a wide smile.

The wrinkles on her face all squeezed together, her visage weathered but venerable.

Watching the old woman stagger away, Lin Tang felt a complex emotion inside.

A nation waiting for revival.

Backwardness, poverty, disaster...

Because of the efforts of these lovely people, with full enthusiasm, it was gradually thriving from the ruins.

Such lovable and respectable people!

Gu Yingzhou looked at the young girl in front of him, his gaze suddenly deepening.

This look did not seem to belong to a girl under twenty.

Instead, it seemed like something someone with many experiences would possess.

"There’s space up ahead, let’s move forward."

The man spoke, and Lin Tang instantly snapped back to reality.

A glance.

Indeed, there was a big gap ahead.

She quickly took a step forward.

After moving on, she looked back at Gu Yingzhou.

The young girl’s eyes were clear and bright, with a faint smile on her lips.

She was truly more charming than flowers.

Much more likable than those high-and-mighty girls from Jing City.
