Chapter 748 A Letter from My Hometown
Meng Yunzheng smiled. He thought she had been having such a good time with her family that she had forgotten about it.
Seeing that the other members of the Lu family were also looking over, he stopped being mysterious and took out a letter from his sleeve.
"A reply from Jiangyuan County."
The Lu family was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "A reply?"
The old lady was the first to step forward and eagerly took the letter from Meng Yunzheng's hand. But as soon as she touched it, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
This is way too thick!
Meng Yunzheng explained, "I received this letter this morning. I originally intended to deliver it to Uncle Lu's house, but Uncle Lu came over first and said he was coming to Zhengdao Village, asking if I wanted to come along. I thought I'd just take it out here when I got here, so we could read it together."
The old lady smiled and said without looking up, "Thank you for your trouble."
He then eagerly opened the letter, only to realize afterward that he only knew a few words from Da Hu. So he handed the letter to Shu Yu beside him, saying, "Come and see, come and see what's written in here."
Shu Yu and the old lady were talking about Da Niu's marriage a few days ago, and unexpectedly they received a letter from their hometown today.
She pulled out a thick stack of papers, but before she could look at them closely, she just flipped through them briefly and then felt a toothache.
This letter was clearly not written by one person; the handwriting on several pages was different.
Most of the handwriting... was truly awful.
Da Hu noticed it too. He looked at the first one, tilted his head, and asked, "Was this written by Da Bao?"
“It must be him.” Sanya said with a hint of disdain. “I write better than him. He must not have practiced his calligraphy properly.”
The old lady sighed, looking very worried. "Da Bao and Da Hu started school around the same time, but their handwriting is so bad. It's hard for us to read their letters."
Shu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Alright, alright, whether his writing is good or not is none of Uncle and Aunt's business. Let's look at the content first."
This was a family matter for the Lu family. Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi exchanged a glance and then left without making a sound.
Shu Yu unfolded the first page of the letter. "Grandma, this is Da Bao. I received your letter. You wrote so much! I don't even know many words, it took me ages to read it all. And you asked so many questions, I couldn't read them, and Dad even hit me..."
He started with a long string of complaints, which silenced the rest of the Lu family.
No wonder this letter is so thick.
After complaining for a while, Da Bao finally got down to business. "Everything is fine at home. I'm studying really hard now so I can open my own restaurant in the future. My husband often praises me."
He said something serious, then started bragging again.
Shu Yu rubbed her temples. "Da Bao and Third Uncle are truly father and son."
She continued reading, “Recently, a great thing happened in our family: my dad got a raise. Although he hasn’t become the manager yet, he got a raise of 100 coins, so I can eat meat twice a month more often. These characters are too hard to write, boohoo, I can’t write them, and my dad beat me again.”
There were still some smudges on the letter paper, I don’t know if they were from Da Bao’s tears.
Shu Yu inexplicably felt sorry for the child and sympathized with Da Bao.
It's really too much to ask someone who's only been in school for a few months to write such a long letter.
