Chapter 661 He Is Acquainted With Phil
- She saw, for instance, that his feet were blistered by his tattered straw shoes. Wynter softly said, "Why aren't you eating?" after seeing his hesitation. "I want to take the leftovers back to share with the others." "My uncle and brother haven't eaten in a long time," Cody said, touching the back of his head in embarrassment. To give me energy for the train travel, they gave me the remaining half of the bread. After a moment of hesitation, Wynter grinned. "Please consume the entire meal. I will make you another batch. You are also welcome to bring all of these fruits from the kitchen." B-But all of this is beyond my means. "It's excessive," Cody hurriedly answered.
- Wynter took a seat and looked directly into Cody's eyes. "Didn't your uncle mention that you can rely on the Quinnell family for help anytime you face difficulties, especially with money, food, or supplies?" Cody's memories were hazy, so he touched his head. "The Quinnell family is one of our bases, according to what my uncle said. Yes, indeed! The Quinnell family and the Youth Daily. After ruffling his hair, Wynter said, "So, you can have them all." Cody looked to the shelf next to him and nodded. Never in my life have I seen so many fruits. The others, including my uncle, will be overjoyed. His eyes glistened as he raised his head. "Thank you so much!" According to Wynter, "It's nothing."
- Wynter understood from their talk that Cody was more than just a paperboy. He was a Little Red Army member. His hands were calloused from holding a rifle at such a young age, and he wore an additional layer of clothes under his coat. He also took care to avoid wasting food, leaving nothing on his plate and even picking up stray grains that had adhered to his clothing. The letter he delivered appeared to be anything but typical. "May I have the letter?" said Wynter. Cody stiffened instantly and took a step back. His grimy face became serious as he stopped just in time. "I apologize, Miss. I have to give Mr. Quinnell the letter directly. Wynter said, "All right, I understand," as he considered how to let Fabian know that the messenger had arrived.
