After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 139, Episode 0144: Sending a Package

As soon as the oxcart stopped and before it had even settled, Wan Fangzhi jumped off with a look of disgust on her face and hurried away without pausing, as if someone was coming to collect a debt from her.

Uncle Qi ignored her. Rural people are tough, and he'd seen plenty of people like her who jumped off the bus before it had even come to a complete stop.

After the car came to a complete stop, Lin Yuexi led Xiao Zhaoyang out of the car slowly.

As he tied the ox to the tree, Uncle Qi reminded him worriedly, "You two, slow down."

Lin Yuexi smiled gratefully at Uncle Qi, got off the oxcart, took out an iron lunchbox from her side pocket [space], and placed it on the seat board at the front of the oxcart.

"Uncle, I'm taking my nephew to the county. I probably won't be back by tonight. These are steamed buns made by Ren Yan. If it's convenient for you, you can heat them up and eat them at noon."

Without waiting for Seventh Uncle to recover, she took Little Zhaoyang's hand and turned to leave.

Xiao Zhaoyang didn't understand, but he didn't forget to turn around and wave goodbye to Seventh Uncle.

Uncle Qi was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that just because he had received news from Da You, he had waited for Lin Zhiqing for a while, and Lin Zhiqing would actually remember him and bring him lunch!

His wife died, and both of his sons died before they were married. He lived alone for decades and had long forgotten the feeling of someone bringing him food.

Looking up at the aunt and niece who had already walked dozens of meters away, tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.

An old man from the Xiayang brigade, who was driving a cart nearby, glanced at the metal lunchbox and said sourly, "Old Li, your daughter remembers to bring you food when she goes out. It's a steamed bun made from two kinds of flour, it must be delicious."

"Not a daughter, but a granddaughter."

The old man: "..."

I'm insulting you, can't you tell?

Look at you, all puffy-eyed. You're a little educated youth who looks like an angel. And you call yourself a granddaughter? You're not worthy of her.

Besides, we're all family, we've been driving oxcarts together for over ten years, who doesn't know that you're the only one left in your family?
Tui~

Lin Yuexi and Xiao Zhaoyang had already boarded a bus bound for Fuxing County.

To be honest, this bus is frustrating in every way.

To be precise, it's not just this particular bus that's like this; buses in relatively remote areas are all like this.

The first problem is that the paint on the car body has been repainted countless times and is almost completely peeled off. You can see with the naked eye that the different colored paint layers alone are about a centimeter thick.
The sound of the car starting up was like an old man panting heavily, and the black smoke coming out of the tail could make you look like an African if you stood there for a moment.

After starting the car, you can hear clanging and rattling noises all around you, and there are drafts everywhere, including the roof and the floor.

The smell inside the car was truly indescribable. It wasn't just one kind of stench, but a combination of many different kinds, including but not limited to the smells of chicken droppings, duck droppings, and sweat.

If Lin Yuexi hadn't had the mental power to block her sense of smell, she probably would have added another sour, stinky smell to the car.

I put Xiao Zhaoyang on my lap and used my mental power to put him to sleep. I also blocked his sense of smell and then closed my eyes to rest.

She sat by the window, next to an elderly woman with white hair. The woman was shy and seemed timid but kind.

This was the spot she had specifically chosen. Sure enough, seeing her 'sleeping,' the old lady didn't disturb them, but would reach out and gently hug them when the bus swayed, worried that they might be bumped while sleeping. About forty minutes later, the bus arrived at the county station. The old lady gently pushed Lin Yuexi's arm, and before she could react, she picked up the sack at her feet and squeezed off the bus with the others.

Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her walk away silently through a pane of glass.

9:30, Post Office.

"Serving the people, hello comrade, I need to send a package."

Xiao Lin, who was focused on knitting a sweater for her partner, was interrupted by a soft yet cool voice. The voice sounded contradictory, yet refreshingly pleasant, making Xiao Lin look up out of curiosity.

Oh~
Good heavens, is this a real person?
Her eyes were practically glued to the newcomer's face. Was that fair, rosy skin with no visible pores something a real person could have?
Think about my rough and unrefined self, and then look at the fairy-like girl in front of me.

She must be some random speck of mud that Nuwa flicked away when she was creating humans!
Despite her inner turmoil, it didn't affect her professionalism at all. She put down the yarn and flashed a huge, unrestrained smile, the kind that showed her teeth.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire; hello comrade, you want to send a package, right? Where is it going?"

Lin Yuexi mentioned the Northwest Military Region, then pointed to the two large packages at her feet.

The post office counter was quite high and wide, so Xiao Lin couldn't see Lin Yuexi's feet from inside. If it were anyone else, she would have asked them to pick it up for her, but this was a great beauty, and she was holding a little baby, so she should be taken care of.

So he got up, peeked out, and looked down.

Then came another "Whoa!" Good heavens, how did she manage to carry those two huge bags all the way to the post office?

Lin Yuexi naturally wouldn't tell her that she had kept it in her spatial storage all along, and only took it out in a deserted alley after getting close to the post office.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, come and help me."

Upon hearing this, the young man called Xiao Ye blushed and ran over without daring to look up at Lin Yuexi. He picked up a package in each hand, buried his head, and squeezed through a small door in the corner.

However, Lin Yuexi didn't notice him at all, because Xiao Zhaoyang, who had been sleeping all the way, woke up at this moment and moved slightly in Lin Yuexi's arms, rubbing his eyes with his two chubby little hands that were already adorned with dimples.

"Auntie, I'm awake. I can walk by myself now."

Worried that he would rub his eyes and hurt them, Lin Yuexi pressed his little paws down and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to gently wipe his eyes.

She smiled softly, "Auntie knows Zhaoyang is awake. No rush. We're at the post office now sending things to Grandpa and Grandma. After we finish sending them, you can walk with Auntie, okay?"

"it is good."

Upon hearing that they had arrived at the post office to send something to his grandparents, Xiao Zhaoyang immediately perked up and stopped insisting on walking. He wasn't stupid; if he didn't let his aunt carry him now, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

At that time, post office counters were open, meaning that the staff's work area and the customers were separated only by a long counter, unlike the later semi-enclosed type with glass walls.

So, Lin Yuexi and Xiao Zhaoyang are currently watching the staff work a few meters away from the counter.

First, they opened the package to check for anything that shouldn't be there. After confirming that everything was fine, they repacked the package, then wrapped it in a special post office parcel bag, weighed it, recorded the weight, and prepared two different receipts. One receipt, with only the sender's address and recipient's address/name written on it, was attached to the package, while the other receipt, with detailed information, was kept by Xiao Lin.

Lin Yuexi didn't know what was so special about these things, but Xiao Zhaoyang watched with great interest, his little face even looking flushed from excitement as if he were lacking oxygen.
