"Tenth brother, you are willful." Eight Masters said.

"Starling, I already know it's wrong." The tenth master lowered his head and said sullenly.

"You said that Mao's Ama would rather not be promoted, just to send a letter?" The eighth master asked.

"That's right! My fourth brother and I are very surprised, there are still such people in the world! His five-grade petty official has been in office for eight years! I don't know how to take advantage of such a great opportunity in front of me. What a silly! "The tenth master said.

"It shouldn't be a long line to drop a big fish." The ninth master said on the side.

"What do you mean?" The tenth master looked dazed.

The eighth master nodded and said, "I can't say for sure." ”

The tenth master looked at the two of them, and only then did he realize what the two were saying.

"No, he's not like that!" The tenth master waved his hand.

"You know him well?" The Ninth Master glanced at him and said, "Haven't you seen two or three sides of the Communist Party!" ”

"I just don't think so!" The tenth master said with a stiff neck.

Seeing him like this, the eighth master couldn't help laughing, and said, "It seems that the tenth brother has a really good impression of him, so this is maintained." ”

"Starling, you haven't seen that person, you're really upright." Ten Masters said.

The eighth master and the ninth master glanced at each other, and then looked at the tenth master, and both of them couldn't help laughing. He is the most upright person, and he actually says that others are upright.

"Really, you don't believe it, ask the fourth brother!" The tenth master said depressedly.

"Well, it's too early to draw conclusions about what kind of person it is. I'll talk about it when I have a chance to see you later. "The eighth master said, it can be regarded as the end of this topic. As for the letter, he believed that the fourth master would send it.

In the evening, the fourth master really came.

"I promised her Amma that I would hand over the letter to her." The fourth master said.

"Fourth brother, she is my Gege." The eighth master smiled slightly, and did not mean to call Mao Tongtong out.

"Eighth brother, I can't break my word." The fourth master smiled lightly, but he didn't plan to give the letter to the eighth master.

The eighth master originally planned to take the letter and read it first. He thinks the same as the ninth master, how can there be a fool in the world who is promoted to exchange letters? This exchange is too unequal. It's just that looking at the appearance of the fourth master now, the letter must be taught to Mao Tongtong by himself.

"Then the fourth brother wait a minute, I'll send someone to call." The smile on the eighth master's face did not decrease.

The fourth master nodded, sat and drank tea slowly.

Mao Tongtong is waiting for the eighth master to summon. Because in the past, at this hour, it was usually the time when the eighth master asked her to eat. She now has to wait for the letter from the eighth master before she dares to eat. Otherwise, this master will be unhappy.

Seeing the little eunuch over there on the eighth master's side, Mao Tongtong was overjoyed. She didn't have much lunch today, and she would be hungry. I put two pieces of snacks, after all, it is sweet, not hungry.

"Mao Gege, the master asked you to pass." The little eunuch said.

"Okay, I got it, let's go." Mao Tongtong responded very happily. It's not easy to finally start eating!

She entered the eighth master's house with a happy face, and when she saw that there was still a fourth master drinking tea, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed.

"I went to Yangzhou this time to meet you Amma, this is his letter to you." The fourth master is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, so he took out the letter directly.

Mao Tongtong looked at the fourth master with a blank expression. What's going on, and why can't I understand it? Ran into her Amma? Letter?

She stared at the fourth master with a pair of big eyes open, and looked a little uncomfortable at the fourth master, who had always been expressionless.

"Ahem." The eighth master cleared his throat.

Mao Tongtong suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the eighth master, so he heard him say: "Didn't you say that you were homesick, now that the family letter is here, why don't you take it?" ”

"Slave, slave, this, this is really a family letter?" Mao Tongtong stammered, his face full of disbelief.

"It seems to be happy and stupid." The eighth master looked at the fourth master and smiled.

The fourth master also smiled, stretched out his hand and sent the letter to Mao Tongtong again, and said, "Take it, your Amma's love for her daughter is also rare." ”

Mao Tongtong took the letter from the fourth master in a daze, forgot to say thank you, pinched the thick envelope in her hand, and looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and a layer of mist suddenly blurred her vision.

"Eighth brother, the letter has been delivered, so I will leave first." The fourth master got up, he didn't want to see his younger brother crying here.

The eighth master also knew why the fourth master was in a hurry to leave, so he quickly got up and said, "Then I won't send the fourth brother." ”

Mao Tongtong touched the letter, but he didn't find that the fourth master had left.

"Don't look at what you've written?" The eighth master said.

"It was written by my brother." Mao Tongtong finally spoke, tears already falling.

The eighth master glanced at the words on the envelope, and sure enough, it was written well. Thinking that the garrison is a military attaché, it is rare to write so well.

"Slave, slave maid wants to take it back and see it." Mao Tongtong said.

She didn't have the heart to ask how the letter was brought to her by the fourth master, she just wanted to go back quickly, hide in the house alone, and read the letter quietly.

The eighth master originally wanted to say that she should watch it here, so that he could watch it together. But this will look at Mao Tongtong's pitiful appearance of pear blossoms with tears, and she nodded as soon as her heart softened.

"Thank you, master." Mao Tongtong was blessed, and walked out quickly with the letter.

The eighth master didn't have time to say a word, so that she would come over for dinner after reading the letter.

It was Qingzhu who accompanied Mao Tongtong to the courtyard of the eighth master, and as soon as the master and servant returned to the house, Qingmei looked at her with tears on her face, and suddenly looked at Qingzhu in surprise. The latter shook his head slightly, stepped forward and pulled her out of the house, leaving Mao Tongtong alone.

"Gege, what's wrong?" Qingmei asked in a whisper.

"I'm excited to hear a letter from home." Qingzhu Road.

"Huh? Where did it come from? Is the Gege family so powerful? The letter was sent to Chengde? Qingmei's eyes widened.

"It was brought back from Yangzhou by the fourth elder brother." Qingzhu Road.

Qingmei was even more confused when she heard this, and her intuition was not simple, and she was about to ask again, but Qingzhu said again: "Gege didn't even ask what was going on, and came back with the letter." Don't ask. There are some things that it is not good to know too much. ”

Qingmei stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll ask you too." ”

In the house, Mao Tongtong held the letter, but he didn't open it for a long time. I just touched the words on the envelope over and over again, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

She has always felt that she is a very adaptable person and a very strong person. Unexpectedly, a letter made her cry like rain and she couldn't control her emotions.

It took a long time for her to slowly calm down and carefully open the envelope.

The letter and the silver ticket fell out together, and Mao Tongtong looked at the large denomination of the silver ticket, and his eyes were hot again.

She didn't know what the situation was at home. I'm afraid half of this money is borrowed! Although she and her family are separated, their hearts are all about her.
