NovelEnglishChapter 131 - 131 131 Blocked Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Blocked Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Blocked Team Leader Kang had mentioned Comrade Li, whose nwas Changan, was a postal worker for the town's post office, responsible for delivering mail to Aoli Village and several neighboring villages.
On hearing this, Cai Xiufen couldn't help but voice her complaint, "If that's the case, why didn't you explain it all at once?!" "Alright, alright, it's my fault for not explaining everything at once, causing you not to understand," Captain Kang replied with a good-natured smile and continued, "You go about your business, and I'll ride into town right away to pick up the parcel." "With Big Brother and Third Brother around, there's no need for you to make the trip," Cai Xiufen said. "Go back to the room and rest. I will go and tell Big Brother to do it." Saying this and without waiting for Captain Kang to respond, Cai Xiufen called out to Big Brother Kang, "Big Brother! Ride into town once, Li Bao sent something to our home, and remember to bring the pickup slip from dad." "Got it." Big Brother Kang responded.

Coming into the main room, Big Brother Kang looked at his elderly parents and heard Captain Kang say, "We're not sure what exactly it is. Just take the slip and go pick it up. We'll know once we open the box at home." After handing the pickup slip to his son, Captain Kang added, "And take the household registration book with you as well." Big Brother Kang, puzzled, asked, "Why do I need to bring the household registration book?" "Comrade Changan said that the item sent from North City to our his a large package. To prevent others from mistakenly claiming it, it's safer to pick it up with the household registration book," explained Captain Kang. In those days, there were no separate identity documents. When running errands, one either had to provide the household registration book or an introduction letter issued by the authorities to prove one's identity.
Otherwise, one was bound to encounter difficulties when trying to get things done! "Oh." After acknowledging with an "okay," indicating he understood, Big Brother Kang mounted his bicycle and was out of the courtyard in a blink.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what is Uncle going to pick up at the post office?" "Grandma, do you know?" "Grandpa, is the item Auntie sent to our home?" "Ah, I wonder if Auntie has received the letter I wrote to her." Surrounded by their grandchildren, Captain Kang and his wife felt like a flock of sparrows was chirping incessantly around their ears.
Cai Xiufen said, "Go do what you're supposed to do. Wait until your dad and your uncle bring the item back, and then you can see for yourself." Like shooing ducks, Cai Xiufen raised both hands and chased all the grandchildren surrounding her out of the main room.
After about forty-fifty minutes, Big Brother Kang cycled back into the village.
Svillagers, upon seeing a square box tied to the back seat of his bicycle, couldn't resist approaching and curiously asking, “Guowei, what's in that big box on the back of your bike?" "Yeah, Guowei, tell us, this box looks sizeable—must be something good inside, right?" "I think it looks like a television!" "What? A television! What is a television?"

Before long, Big Brother Kang found himself surrounded by curious m villagers which forced him to dismount from his bike seat. "As for what's inside the box, I haven't opened it yet, so I wouldn't know," he said.
"Guowei, you're not trying to keep us in the dark, are you?" "Exactly, Guowei, if there's a television in that box, we can't miss coming over to your place to watch TV tonight!" Guowei was Big Brother Kang's name.
"Auntie, rest assured, if there really is a television inside this box & certainly won't keep everyone out in the yard," Guowei assured her.
