Chapter 188 What’s so great? Humph!(1/2)
Tao Yushu noticed something strange about him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Chaoyang came back to his senses and said: "It's okay. It's exactly what I thought. He is a college student studying Chinese."
Written on the envelope is the sender's address and name - Ma Yuan, Grade 78, Department of Chinese, Liaoning University, No. 66, Chongshan Middle Road, Huanggu District, SY City, LN Province.
Tao Yushu said casually: "You can tell by the style of the letter. He is high-spirited and scolds Fang Qiu. But I didn't expect that he is still a top student in Liaoning University."
Lin Chaoyang put the envelope on the table and continued to read the letter.
The couple spent an hour and a half opening letters. Most of the letters were polite compliments, and only a small part required careful reading.
The two of them read the letter not too slowly, but they still felt a little dizzy after reading it for such a long time.
At last check, I only read more than 400 letters.
"Let's do this tonight." Lin Chaoyang said.
Tao Yushu nodded and packed up the letters. Lin Chaoyang wanted to stand up, but she held him down.
"What for?" Lin Chaoyang asked her.
"I haven't replied yet."
Lin Chaoyang said with a headache: "I've been watching it all night, let's go back tomorrow."
"There are still so many letters. Today's business is over today."
"No, I feel dizzy after reading the letter." Lin Chaoyang began to lie.
Tao Yushu looked at him funny, "Then tell me and I will write it for you."
"That's so embarrassing." Lin Chaoyang looked hesitant.
"Don't waste time. You'll have to reply all of them in this time. Don't reply with too many words in a letter. Just keep it within two hundred words. Try to reply to all the letters you picked out."
Good guy, the KPI is fully achieved.
The couple picked out more than thirty letters in one night. Based on this calculation, wouldn't it mean that they would have to write six to seven thousand words?
"Yushu, we are not studying for an exam, do we need to be so nervous?"
"You haven't been writing novels lately, so it would be nice to reply to readers."
Lin Chaoyang felt that Tao Yushu almost pointed his finger in the nose and said that he did not seek advancement.
Conscience of heaven and earth, how long did it take him to finish "The Death of Van Gogh"? It is a long novel, why can't we take a break?
"Daughter-in-law, you can't ask me for your own demands." Lin Chaoyang protested.
Tao Yushu's eyes looked at him, full of tenderness, "I don't ask you for what I want for myself, I just ask you for half of what I want for myself."
"you……"
Lin Chaoyang was speechless for a moment. Tao Yushu took his hand and said, "Okay. Reply to the letter quickly. We will reply together and try to finish it as soon as possible."
Tao Yushu took the initiative to help him reply to the readers, but he had no choice but to sit down and reply.
The originally happy Hongxiu Tianxiang became a little miserable because of the addition of KPIs.
After writing for almost two hours, he finally finished answering all the letters. Lin Chaoyang lamented: "We should find a dedicated person to do this kind of thing."
Tao Yushu was rubbing her wrists at the moment. She was thoughtful when she heard Lin Chaoyang's complaints.
A few seconds later, she said quietly: "Yu Mo is on winter vacation!"
Lin Chaoyang's eyes suddenly narrowed and he almost forgot about his sister-in-law.
A kind smile appeared on his face, "It's the New Year's Eve soon. I'll make two more dishes tomorrow. You can call Yu Mo over. I haven't seen her for several days. This girl must be hungry for the food I cooked."
Tao Yushu looked at him, and the couple smiled at each other, understanding each other.
"Ah sneeze!"
Tao Yumo, who was reading on the bed, suddenly sneezed. She pulled the quilt that fell on her waist and muttered: "Someone scolded me!"
As she spoke, she turned another page of the book in her hand and stared at it for a while, feeling dizzy again.
But she did not put down the book, but kept reading. This was already the tenth foreign masterpiece she had read this summer.
I have been on vacation for less than 20 days and have read ten books. It is definitely a high-intensity reading. It is normal to feel a little dizzy.
That day in the library, Lin Chaoyang said, "You should read some books." She felt that she had been humiliated. After returning home, she decided to work hard and impress her brother-in-law after the winter vacation.
"Huh! I don't study well?"
Tao Yumo muttered unconvincedly, her eyes full of fighting spirit, but after a while, her eyelids sank, and she forced herself to look at it for two minutes. She couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, she was woken up by the noise of her two nephews.
"You two, get out of here!"
The two little ones came into her house from outside and were kicked out by Tao Yumo.
After breakfast, she sat in the room and read a book again.
Her abnormal behavior in the past few days has left the family a little confused. In the past during holidays, she would disappear with a puff of smoke. Why did she stay at home and read every day during the holidays this year?
"What's wrong with this girl?" Tao's mother asked Tao Yucheng.
"I don't know."
Tao Yumo's abnormal behavior made Tao's mother, who knew her temperament, a little worried, but Tao's father didn't care, and was very pleased with his daughter's studiousness.
Being able to calm down and study proves that my daughter has grown up.
Why is Tao Yushu so favored by Tao's father? Isn't it because she is studious and loves reading?
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Tao Yushu returned to Langrun Lake Apartment. Tao's mother asked, "Why are you back?"
"I have something to do with Yumo."
"Then let's have dinner at home at noon," Tao's mother said.
Since Tao Yushu moved away, Tao's mother's attitude towards her and Lin Chaoyang has visibly improved.
Although there is a reason why Lin Chaoyang is now retired, another important reason is that distance creates beauty.
I was so annoyed when my children were around me, but as soon as I left, I immediately started thinking again, this is the love of Chinese parents.
"No, you have to hurry, you still have to queue up."
Tao Yushu came to his sister's room. When he saw her coming in, Tao Yumo called her and was still reading the book intently.
"Why don't you go to our house to take a shower recently?" Tao Yushu asked.
"The same goes for taking a bath in the bathhouse. It's too cold in winter and I'm too lazy to run." Tao Yumo said wistfully.
Her answer did not satisfy Tao Yushu. A while ago, when he was not on holiday, he was running happily and heartlessly. Now he dislikes the cold weather?
Based on Tao Yushu's understanding of her sister, it was absolutely impossible for her to give up taking a hot bath because of the weather.
"Stop reading now and go shopping with me."
"You can go by yourself."
"Your brother-in-law has obtained some temporary purchase certificates. You can help me line up."
These days, to buy meat you not only need a meat ticket, but also a resident purchase certificate.
When you arrive at the meat counter, you first pay the meat ticket. The salesperson cuts and weighs the meat, then pays. The salesperson then fills in the amount of meat purchased on the resident purchase certificate. This is called rationing.
The monthly supply for each household is fixed. If you want to buy more, it's impossible. The purchase certificate says how much you bought, and it's useless even if you have meat tickets.
However, there are always some special circumstances. For example, during holidays, the government will increase the supply of scarce food such as meat and aquatic products. Many units will also issue temporary purchase tickets and Spring Festival tickets. Many tickets can be purchased at designated purchase points without showing a purchase certificate.
Purchased directly with tickets.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, residents are queuing up in major grocery stores and vegetable markets. In order to grab supplies, it is normal for the whole family to mobilize. It is normal to spend most of the day shopping for groceries.
Seeing Tao Yumo's expression of resistance, Tao Yushu urged: "The vegetable market is said to have sufficient meat supply today, and there are also live fish and live chickens. Please move quickly."
Tao Yumo complained: "Your family buys groceries, while I go out and stand in line to freeze."
"You white-eyed wolf! I usually don't have enough food for you? Be smart and wait for the groceries to be bought before I cook more for you in the evening."
After listening to her sister's words, Tao Yumo finally got motivated. She got up, put on her clothes and went out with her sister.
In the evening, when it was already dark, the two of them returned to the overseas Chinese apartment carrying several large bags.
"Oh, if I had known that I would have to travel to so many places, I wouldn't have come out with you no matter what."
Carrying things upstairs, Tao Yumo complained to her sister.
"If you're tired, go back and stop eating!"
Hearing this, Tao Yumo quickened his pace.
After a day of being tired and freezing, if she didn't have a nice meal, she would be in big trouble.
At around five o'clock, Lin Chaoyang returned home from get off work. When he saw Tao Yumo when he walked in, he smiled and said, "Yu Mo is here!"
Tao Yumo snorted coldly, gave him a roll of eyes, and ignored him.
Lin Chaoyang came to the kitchen, and Tao Yushu asked, "Why did you offend her?"
