阅读材料那天正好是立春。我拿着几张稿费单去邮局,心情很好。邮局里人不多,前面是个小伙子,正在给家里寄钱,后面是一个七十岁左右的老人,戴副老花镜,穿着破烂又邋遢。他肯定是来取子女们的汇款的吧。他手中还拿着一张报纸,我扫了一眼,是《河北农民报》,我从来没读过的一份报纸 Reading material happens to be the beginning of the spring. I took a few drafts to the post office and I was in a good mood. There are not many people in the post office. In front of him is a young man who is sending money to his family. Behind him is an old man about 70 years old. He wears deputy reading glasses and wears tattered clothes. He must come to pick up the children’s remittances. He also held a newspaper in his hand, and I glanced over it. It was the “Hebei Peasant Daily”, a newspaper I had never read before.
