Linjiang's Western Suburbs, Two Oranges

There is a wonton stall in an old town in the western suburbs. The stall owner is a veteran in his fifties. Three years ago, he retired from Linshi Dongcheng, with two thousand and three dollars' worth of retirement pay in his pocket, and decided to buy this stall that was about to close down. The owner of the car repair shop next door is called Lao Qin. He tunes the radio to Jiangsu Literature and Art Station at nine o'clock every night and plays "The Moon Reflects on Two Springs" on a loop. Two days before Qingming Festival, Lao Qin came to him carrying six oranges. Lao Chen thought they were six oranges. Later he found out that it was a letter from twenty-three years ago.
