Chapter 198: Letter from the Ming Family
After eating and drinking, the officials left satisfied, Liu San and Changping thought for a while, and simply closed the courtyard door directly.
Let's talk about Yu Shoude's family.
After leaving Yu's house in a hurry, they didn't immediately hire a mule cart to return to Fucheng, but sent someone to sneakily watch at the door of Yu's house.
Seeing that the official had entered Yu's house, the person in charge of keeping an eye ran to Yu Shoude and Liu, "Really, really here!" I watched them enter the Yu family with my own eyes. ”
Everyone, including Yu Shoude, turned dark, and after a while, Yu Shoude commanded his little son in a dry voice, "You go and see when they leave." ”
He and Liu's youngest son were a little reluctant, and Yu Shoude saw that he didn't move, so he had to resort to a killer move, "Hurry up, when you come back, your father will give you twenty yuan to buy snacks." ”
As soon as Yu Shoude said this, he and Liu's youngest son immediately became happy, but he and Liu's other children, grandchildren, and granddaughters were not happy.
They also want these twenty wen, or even more pocket money!
If it were in normal times, Yu Shoude and Liu's children would definitely have to compete to do this job of finding out the news, after all, do they have money?
But right now, none of them want to risk being arrested and fight for this meagre twenty cents.
But they didn't fight, but the little beans they each brought were greedy.
Usually, except for the New Year's Festival, they can't even get a penny or two of pocket money, and twenty wen is already a huge amount of money for them.
With so much money, how can they not be tempted?
So just when Yu Shoude was worried and waiting for the news, he and Liu's grandchildren and granddaughters all rebelled.
A few little children said "I want pocket money too", which made Yu Shoude annoyed.
In the end, it was Liu who roared, and these little children reluctantly retracted into the arms of their parents.
After about two quarters of an hour, Yu Shoude's youngest son ran back out of breath, "Let's go, those officials are all gone." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shoude's eldest daughter was eager to kill the Yu family, and while turning around and walking back, she was still chattering cruelly.
Yu Shoude was already annoyed, but seeing his daughter look stupid like this, he yelled at the other party without holding back, "Was your brain eaten by a dog?!" If they can invite the officials once, they will definitely be able to invite them a second time! You still want to hit other people's pig brains, I think you were born with a pig brain! ”
"Mother..."Yu Shoude's eldest daughter is already the mother of two children, and she was suddenly scolded by her father, and she was directly stunned.
Seeing her tears, Liu felt really distressed in his heart, but in the past two years, Yu Shoude's temper has grown, and Liu did not dare to go against him at this critical juncture.
She could only take her daughter's hand and pat it hard, "Okay, okay, your father is also for your good." He's annoyed right now, so stop and don't mess with him. ”
Yu Shoude saw that she didn't make a fuss, and his mood finally improved.
He let out a long sigh, "I'll go rent a car now, and let's go back to Fucheng directly while it's still early." ”
Yu Shoude's eldest son was very unwilling, his biggest purpose this time was to snatch away Yu Jiayan's county commander, but now he was about to slip back to Fucheng before he even saw the face of others, how could he be calm?
"Let's go, since that kid won't compromise at all, then there's no point in us continuing to spend here." Yu Shoude was not reconciled, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only take the family back to Fucheng - who let him have the handle in Yu Jiayan's hands.
"Master, they have hired a car to go out of the city, looking at the direction, they should be planning to return to the city." As soon as Yu Shoude and the others left the city, Shengping's younger brother Kang Ping had already trotted into Yu's house.
Kang Ping is only nine years old this year, and he is not as tall as the average nine-year-old child, but his cleverness is not comparable to that of ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old children.
"Give him a handful of copper." Yu Jiayan met him in the study in the front yard, and after listening to his concise and concise speech, Yu Jiayan asked Changping to take a handful of copper to the little guy.
Kang Ping Xizi took the copper into his arms, "Thank you for the master's reward." ”
Yu Jiayan touched the top of his hair, "Go and go down with your brother Changping to have a snack." ”
Kang Ping's eyes suddenly bent two small crescents, and he was a little happier than winning the reward.
***
"Master, the old lady of the Ming family asked someone to bring a letter from Wulitun to our house." sent Kangping away, Yu Jiayan was about to go back to the backyard to tease the child, but Liu San suddenly took a letter to him.
Yu Jiayan's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Old Man Ming has only been back to Wulitun for a long time, and he is in such a hurry to have someone send a letter over, and there is a chance that something big has happened.
While pondering in his heart whether this "big event" was a good thing or a bad thing, Yu Jiayan walked to the backyard with a thick envelope.
"Our master asked someone to send it, I glanced at the cover, and the handwriting is from the eldest brother." Entering the main landlord's house, Yu Jiayan took off his shoes and went to the kang while raising the envelope in his hand to Mingyue.
Mingyue took the scissors and carefully cut open the envelope, and the little couple began to read the letter together head to head.
"What do you think?" Putting down the letter, Yu Jiayan slightly turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law with a thoughtful expression.
"Buy it, our master is an old crop, since he said that there may be a drought next year, then we can't help but take this matter seriously."
Yu Jiayan also meant this, he bowed slightly, "Didn't the eldest brother say that the other old people in the village also think that it will be bad next year, I think this thing will come true nine times out of ten." ”
Mingyue was depressed in her heart, she had been working hard since she came to this world, and now she finally lived a good life with abundant food and clothing, but God suddenly began to be emotional.
This gave her an unspeakable sense of crisis and frustration.
Yu Jiayan saw that she was not in a high mood, so she was busy cheering up and trying hard to make her daughter-in-law happy, "You have to think about the good." If this had been placed in the past, a natural disaster would have hung by a thread. Now we have at least a little ability to fight against natural disasters, as long as we stock up on more food, natural disasters or something will be a loss of money for us at most. ”
Mingyue took a deep breath, "What you said is that at least we live in a peaceful period when the government is clear and the country is stable, not in a chaotic period of precariousness and war. Whether the life is hard or rich, at least our whole family can live together in peace and security, which is already our great blessing. ”
