It occurred to her that she would need to ask them to deliver letters in the future, so it couldn’t hurt to build a good relationship.
She turned around and took two sweet melons from behind the door. She handed one to the Branch Secretary and one to the postman. "In the afternoon, when goods were being delivered to the commune’s supply and marketing cooperative from the next village, I saw them and traded for a few. They’re just right for you to try and quench your thirst."
Both men felt it was too much and declined, "No need, no need. Keep them for yourself."
Yunyi placed them directly into their arms. Addressing the postman, she said, "It’s nothing precious. Besides, I also have to thank you for bringing my package; otherwise, I would have had to make a trip myself."
Yunyi spoke gracefully. Seeing the Branch Secretary accept his, the postman grinned and said, "Your package wasn’t big, so I just brought it along."
Yunyi smiled. "That’s because you’re kind-hearted. I washed the melons just now, so you can eat them right away."
Just then, Du Yuhua came running over, holding her son Maodan. "Chu Zhiqing, please take a look at my son!"
The postman and the Branch Secretary quickly made way at the door. Seeing Yunyi was about to be busy, they said their goodbyes and prepared to leave.
However, with a tacit understanding, neither of them ate the sweet melons. Instead, they both put them away. They exchanged smiles and a few pleasantries, and then parted ways.
The name Chuyunyi was thus etched in the memory of Postman Uncle Zhao from then on.
The Branch Secretary, chuckling, walked home with his hands behind his back, thinking of bringing the sweet melons Yunyi had given him home for his grandchildren.

In the clinic, Yunyi examined the wound on Maodan’s leg. "Where did you bump this?"
Maodan’s eyelashes were still wet with tears. He pointed at his leg. "It hurts. Sister pushed."
Distress was evident on Du Yuhua’s face. She quickly asked, "Which sister pushed you?"
Maodan looked up at his mom. "I’m not allowed to tell. Sister Xiaohua told Maodan not to say."
Hearing this, Du Yuhua’s expression darkened. "Sister Xiaohua pushed you and told you not to tell Mommy, is that right?"
Maodan covered his mouth but still nodded.
Yunyi didn’t need to think hard to guess most of the situation. "He’s very young; it’s best to keep him where you can see him. You also need to explain some things to children appropriately so they don’t get hurt and then feel too scared to speak up."
No need to ask further to picture that scene.
