Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Be ntally Prepared
Elder sister-in-law Kang: “Dad, I have no objections to what Third Uncle said.”
The TV set and money previously sent to our family by my brother-in-law settled everything. If we were to accept these sewing machine coupons, bicycle coupons, and radio coupons from Li Bao now, that would be a little too ignorant!
Third sister-in-law Kang: “Dad, I agree with what Fei Fei’s dad said.”
“Alright, I know your attitudes now.”
Captain Kang looked at Big Brother Kang and the others with full satisfaction and nodded before continuing, “Li Bao said we must keep these coupons. She said it didn’t cost her much money or effort, plus they’re of no use in her hands, so we should just keep them in case the family needs them soday.”
“By the way, these three letters, two are Ruirui’s replies to Xiaoyu and Maomao, and one is a reply from Hanhan and Vivi to Doudou. Whoever goes to the county town next, rember to take Ruirui and his siblings’ replies to Maomao and Doudou.”
As Captain Kang said this, he handed one of the letters to his grandson Xiaoyu.
As for the other two letters, he gave them to his wife to hold onto for now.
Speaking of the replies from Min Rui and the twins, it was undoubtedly Kang Li who had facilitated the connection.
Due to the age factor, only Third Brother Kang’s youngest son, Kang Yiyu, and Fourth Brother Kang’s Maomao and Doudou have established letter correspondence with the Ruirui siblings.
Of course, the twins could recognize a few characters up to now, but it was certainly impossible for them to write them all out painstakingly. Therefore, the twins and the four-year-old Doudou mostly resorted to drawings as their ans of communication.
Funny enough, the three little ones could actually understand what the other wanted to say from the drawings.
Kang Yifei, the eldest son of Third Brother Kang and ten years old this year, said laughingly to his younger brother Kang Yiyu, “Co on, let see the reply Ruirui wrote to you.”
“Kang Yiyu, let have a look too,” said the voice of Third Brother Kang’s second son, nad Kang Yilin, eight years old.
Kang Yiyu, holding the letter tightly, hid behind his father and mother and made a face at his brother Fei Fei and Yilin, “I won’t show you. This is the reply Ruirui wrote to . If you want to see it, write a letter to Ruirui yourselves and let Ruirui write back to you!”
Among the sons of the eldest and third families, Kang Yiyu was the youngest and was the sa age as Xiao Ming Rui.
The boy was robust and since he had started corresponding with Xiao Ming Rui, he took learning to read and write seriously with his brothers, fearing that he would be laughed at by his little pen friend for not knowing enough.
“We won’t look if you don’t show us, but when you open Ruirui’s reply, just make sure you aren’t shocked by his handwriting!” teased Kang Yilin as he exchanged aningful glances with his brother Kang Yifei.
Kang Yiyu exclaid indignantly, “I won’t bother with you guys!”
His handwriting might not look good now, especially not as nice as Ruirui’s, but so what? He could always practice more. One day, he would be able to write as beautifully as Ruirui.
Bad brothers, laugh if you want. He was ntally prepared this ti and would not be daunted by Ruirui’s handwriting again!
“For the eldest’s family, these several pairs of socks and this red scarf are from Li Bao for your room; for the third’s family, this is from Li Bao for you and Third Brother’s room.”
Cai Xiufen, following what Kang Li wrote in the letter, took out two thick stacks of socks and two cashre scarves, one red and one purple, from the box and handed them to Elder sister-in-law Kang and Third sister-in-law Kang. As the two ca over to take them, she added:
“Li Bao says these socks are made of cotton yarn, softer than the nylon socks we wear on our feet, and they’re absorbent and breathable, very comfortable to wear.”
