Chapter 727729. Letter
Gaoling Village, Fu County
When Li Cuicui saw Hu Dong walking in with a smile on his face, she didn't care about the work in her hands and quickly stood up and asked, "Boss Hu, did Lao Qi and the others write to you?"
She had been looking forward to this letter from home day and night for more than two months, which was much longer than the time she had been in Lucheng before.
"Madam, it is the master and his wife who sent the letter.
As soon as I received it, I sent it over immediately without delay."
After Hu Dong finished speaking, he immediately took out the letter from his arms and said, "Madam, you also prepared some specialties from Yi Province. Can you see where you put them?"
The shop assistant had already come outside with the things, waiting for Hu Dong's instructions.
Li Cuicui asked the maid to put the things in the yard first, and then told someone to call the boss next door over.
"This journey is so long, tell your master not to go through so much trouble in the future." Looking at the things piled up in a corner of the courtyard, Li Cuicui said to Hu Dong, "It costs so much money to bring these things back with the escort agency, it's really not worth it."
Hu Dong, "Don't worry, old lady, these were dragged to that area and brought back by our own escort team.
Besides, the master and his wife also brought some people with them this time, so I think we will have our own escort team there soon.”
"The seventh daughter-in-law is a capable one," Li Cuicui praised, and led her to the living room. "Sit down and take a rest first. I'll ask the maid to pour you some tea."
"Madam, don't worry. I have things to do and need to hurry back. But if you have any letters, please send them to the town the day after tomorrow and have someone take them over."
"This is good," Li Cuicui felt that the old couple really cared about them. Having a steward like Hu Dong in Fu County, their base, made them feel much more at ease.
They don't even have to worry about the interpersonal relationships between the two sides, as Hu Dong will handle it all.
When Gu Yuanjin came in, Hu Dong was walking out. The two met and chatted for a few more words before Hu Dong returned to the city.
"Boss, come and see the letter from Seventh Brother. Why is it so thick?" Li Cuicui didn't dare to open the letter.
But she had received many sealed letters from home before, but never one was wrapped so solidly and thickly like this one.
"Maybe the letter they wrote was too long. Let me take a look later."
"Then do you understand it? Do you want to ask a boy to read it to you?"
It’s not that Li Cuicui doesn’t trust her eldest son, but Gu Yuanjin is too busy on weekdays. Even if he occasionally goes to school to attend classes, what he can learn is probably limited.
He can understand the letter now, but he speaks haltingly and sometimes takes a long time to read a sentence.
Li Cuicui didn't think that she, with her impatient personality, could wait for him.
Gu Yuanjin, "Where can I find someone at this time? Everyone is out, and I can finish reading the letter by going back and forth to the school. Don't tell me that mother still doesn't believe me?"
Li Cuicui said directly, "You are right, I really don't believe you.
You said that Lao Qi wrote so many letters. If you wait until you finish reading them, the sun will probably come out tomorrow.
Isn't your eldest daughter-in-law literate? Why don't you ask her to come over?"
When Gu Yuanjin heard that his mother didn't trust him, he became stubborn and said, "No, she still has to stay at home to take care of the children."
As he spoke, he opened the cowhide envelope and said, "This letter is really different, it is wrapped so tightly.
I guess these were definitely not written by Lao Qi. He always speaks in fragments, and sometimes even if I don’t listen, I know what he said in the letter.”
Li Cuicui pouted and said, "If you want to study, then study. Why are you talking down to your own brother?
Can Xiao Qi be like you? He is so busy all day long that it is already good enough for him to find time to write a letter home. You are still nitpicking here... "
Gu Yuanjin, "..."
But as the large brown paper on the outside was opened, a stack of letters suddenly fell out.
Li Cuicui reacted immediately, "It turns out that it wasn't just the seventh child who wrote to me, the other children all wrote back.
"Hurry up and check if everything is written. Then you should send it to their home. Although they haven't mentioned it these days, they pass by my door every now and then, so I know what they are thinking about."
It is said that a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. After all these years of breakups and reunions, Li Cuicui has long been accustomed to it, but it is different for others.
Now I am just waiting for a few words from them so that I can know how my children are doing outside.
"What's there to worry about? If I go out with Old Seven, how could I let them suffer any injustice?" Gu Yuanjin gathered the letters together. It was easy to see who received which letters on the envelopes, so he put aside the letters that were not his own.
Seeing that he was still picking and choosing, Li Cuicui wanted to snatch the things away.
"Then you find Lao Qi's letter first, and I'll send the others to them later."
Seeing his unhurried appearance, Li Cuicui felt that she had called the wrong person. She should have called the fourth brother over. Maybe he had already started reading the letter by now.
Gu Yuanjin didn't know that he had been disliked, and he was still reading the letters slowly and leisurely.
After he sorted out all the letters, he picked out the letters from Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian.
When I opened it, there were just two pieces of letter paper, just like usual.
One was written by Gu Wenheng, with a few brief greetings, not much different from his previous letters.
Gu Yuanjin smiled and looked up, "Mom, Old Seven still has the same few words. It doesn't make much difference whether you read them or not."
Li Cuicui, "You think you can be lazy now, even if it is exactly the same as the last letter, you have to read it to me again.
Your seventh brother is so busy, but he still found time to write back. Why? I can’t listen to you read it once.”
Gu Yuanjin smiled and said, "Yes, why not?
But the letter from Old Seven was too insincere. It was just a way of reporting that he was safe and asking how you two were doing.
"Sister-in-law Dashi, Sister-in-law Dashi..." Li Cuicui was about to get angry when she heard shouting from outside the door.
"Look at these people. They are more informed than anyone else. I guess they saw Hu Dong entering the village. They have already come to our door. Aren't you ready yet?"
Although Li Cuicui was complaining, she had already stood up and walked to the door, "I didn't expect you to come, you're so fast, I was thinking of coming to your house in person later.
I got a letter from home, and the kids from your families also brought letters, so it's just right that you come over so I don't have to make another trip."
This was undoubtedly great news. There was no need for Li Cuicui to invite anyone. Everyone rushed in and looked at the letters in front of Gu Yuanjin with shining eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the eldest to find it for you, but you'd better go find someone else to read it. The eldest in my family can only read half a bucket of water."
The whole village knew everything about the matter. They believed the old lady's words. Yuzhu's mother rubbed her hands and said, "Please ask the head of the family, Gu, to give me the letter from our Yuzhu. I will go back and ask our second son to read it to me."
Dear babies,
morning(,
Today is the Little New Year in the south, I wish you all a happy Little New Year, and may all your wishes come true! ＾▽＾
