Chapter 802 The Second Letter Home
However, instead of the imperial decree from the capital, a second letter from our hometown arrived.
It was Meng Yunzheng who brought it over again. Shu Yu happened to be back in the county town that day and took the dried goods that had been drying during this period back with her.
Meng Yunzheng arrived while his family was having dinner around the table.
Da Hu now regards Meng Yunzheng as his teacher and treats him with the utmost respect. As soon as he arrived, the little guy immediately brought him a stool and was about to pour him tea.
Meng Yunzheng chuckled and said to him, "No need to pour tea. I'm just here to deliver a letter. I'll be leaving after I'm done."
Besides the letter, there were also some local specialties from the family, which Da Niu had prepared.
Of course, it wasn't much, but it was the thought that counted.
Shu Yu wiped her mouth and took the letter.
After Meng Yunzheng put his things down, he left. The old lady quickly brought over the chicken soup that was simmering in the kitchen, chased after him, and handed it to him. "Take this home and drink it. I heard from Da Hu that you've been writing some kind of article lately, and I see that you're working very hard. This was specially made for you and Zhao Xi. I was originally planning to send it over after dinner, but since you're here, just take it."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Meng Yunzheng has gotten used to calling the old lady by her name. The Lu family isn't blind; they can all see through his relationship with Shu Yu.
But they were all very satisfied with Meng Yunzheng. Ayu was of marriageable age, and the two of them together were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Once Ayu comes of age, the wedding date can be set.
However, the Lu family was unaware of Zhao Xi's feelings for Daya. Perhaps Zhao Xi had been too subtle in his actions; not only the Lu family, but even Daya herself hadn't realized it.
Yes, except for Shu Yu.
Meng Yunzheng carried the food box out the door, while Shu Yu opened the thick letter in her hand.
Just like last time, this letter was very solid.
As soon as I took it out, the top one was indeed written by Da Bao.
Although the handwriting is a little better than last time, you can tell from the first sentence that Da Bao is complaining about how many words he has to write in his reply.
She decided to save what he wrote for last, since it was too difficult to read.
Shu Yu read Da Niu's letter first, but Da Niu's letter home was much simpler and less interesting. It also only reported good news and not bad news, just a few things that had happened at home recently.
He mentioned Lan Hua's marriage, which had already been arranged.
Da Niu had met the other person; he wasn't a bad person, just a bit lazy.
But Li thought it wasn't a big problem. Wasn't Lu Sanzhu also incredibly lazy? Look at his life now, he had a job in the county town, his life was thriving, and he had raised his two children to be healthy and chubby.
Besides, the family that Lan Hua was engaged to was quite well-off. They lived in the county town and owned a small shop that sold tofu.
When Ren Lanhua marries into the family, she doesn't have to work in the fields. At most, she just helps look after the shop. It's an easy and carefree life.
Besides, Da Niu now lives in the county town. With Da Niu as her older brother, no one dares to bully Lan Hua.
Da Niu couldn't argue with Li Shi, and besides, although Li Shi was lazy, he would still do the work if asked to.
He's the kind of person who won't lift a finger if the firewood in his house falls over, but if someone reminds him, he'll bend down and pick it up.
Leaving aside this person, most men in families these days are like this.
Da Niu can't expect others to be perfect. His own sister also has flaws. As long as there are no major problems like hitting people, and they can work things out together, it's fine.
