After reading it, Sheng Minglang pouted, tears welling up in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "I said, my brother doesn't think about me at all."
Yu Huan comforted him a few words, found a pen and paper to write a reply, telling him that the situation here was good.
Sheng Minglang was sitting next to them. Yu Huan asked him to write a letter as well, but he became angry and refused to talk to his brother.
Yu Huan mentioned in the letter that he should pay more attention to Sheng Minglang when he wrote to him next time.
The next day, the letter was sent away by the lame man.

Lin He went out and bought some more salt, white wine and duck eggs, preparing to pickle duck eggs.
This thing can be stored for a long time, is delicious and can be used as a side dish. Yu Huan also likes it.
Lin He sat under a tree washing the jars of salted duck eggs, while Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang squatted and gave the salted duck eggs a bath.
After washing, put them in a basket and dry them in the sun until the surface is free of moisture. Then soak the duck eggs in white wine, coat the surface with salt, and put them in a jar, seal it, and wait for it to be marinated.
As time goes by, the taste of salt will seep into the duck eggs little by little, making it salty, fragrant, oily and delicious.
In the evening, Sheng Minglang was reviewing his previous lessons. Occasionally, he came across a question that he couldn't figure out. Yu Huan heard it and casually gave him the correct answer.
"Sister-in-law, do you also understand academic matters?" Sheng Minglang's eyes lit up as he looked at Yu Huan with admiration.
"A little bit."
Yu Huan pinched a tiny gap with his fingers and was a little humble.
Of course she wouldn't be so easily proud when praised by a child, because she is an adult after all.
Lin He was very proud and said, "Huanhuan went to school for a few years when he was a child." He was not like her, an illiterate who could hardly recognize big words.
Sheng Mingfu wrote again, this time it was a thick stack.
Yu Huan originally thought that he had listened to the advice and wrote a few letters to Sheng Minglang, but unexpectedly, he didn't want to pay attention to it and asked the old lady and others to write down whatever they wanted to say and send it to him.
His was written specifically for Yu Huan.
The letter said that he could handle it, and asked Yu Huan to be careful about everything, buy anything he needed, hire a servant if there was no one to take care of the family, and buy some extra thick clothes as the weather was getting cold...
One thing after another, despite his decisive nature, he was always extra careful when it came to matters concerning Yu Huan.
After reading the letter from his family, Sheng Minglang finally felt a little love. He originally said that he had grown up and didn't cry as much, but he was moved to tears again.
Yu Huan wrote two reply letters, and Sheng Minglang took out his own notebook and wrote one.
?
Lin He often went to the street to buy things. Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang occasionally followed her, occasionally helped run errands, and occasionally stayed at home.
Suddenly one day, there were fewer people on the street, and I heard from a roadside teahouse that a fight had broken out in Rongcheng.
That day, Lin He brought enough silver and money and bought a lot of things. Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang ran back and forth several times before they moved all the things back.
There were thick clothes and quilts, as well as vegetables that could be stored for a long time, bacon and sausages, and I also bought some Western medicine, seeds, seasonings and the like.
Almost everything you can think of is available.
When I went to the street again later, I found that some shops were closed.
The situation in Rongcheng is serious, but it is said that it has been held.
A few days later, Yu Huan and the others received a letter from Sheng Mingfu and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it had been half a month since leaving Rongcheng.
The salted duck eggs pickled by Lin He are ready to eat, and the radishes planted by Yu Huan and others in the yard have also sprouted, small green dots that sway in the wind.
Lin He said that in a few days, we would be able to plant cabbages and make cabbage dumplings for them.
The neighbor raised a flock of chickens. One day, a chicken ran into their yard. Lin He's eyes lit up, and she ran to the neighbor's house and bought four or five chickens that could lay eggs.
They are fed with weeds and broken rice every day, almost two or three eggs a day.
But these chickens always like to eat fresh food. For example, if they didn't keep an eye on the radish seedlings they planted, they would peck off a piece of the newly grown leaves.
Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang could only drive them aside frequently.
?
Another night, Lin He cooked a bowl of longevity noodles and fried a few more dishes. Only then did Yu Huan realize that this day was his birthday.
The situation at this time was very different from that of the previous year.
Last year, Sheng Mingfu specially invited a troupe of actors to perform at his home. The powerful and influential people all came to congratulate him with gifts, and a banquet was set up in the whole yard... It was very lively.
Now, no one knows what is going on with Sheng Mingfu.
Now there is only a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and three dishes: scallion-fried tofu, twice-cooked pork, and scrambled eggs with loofah. Compared with the extravagance in the past, it seems a bit pitiful.
Yu Huan is not picky and still likes to eat.
Sheng Minglang also acted in a very congratulatory manner, reciting a series of congratulatory messages, and Lin He even gave her a red envelope.
But at night, I still couldn't sleep.
Lin He woke up in the middle of the night and saw her still sitting there. She walked in and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"Sheng Mingfu, I haven't written to you for a long time." Yu Huan said slowly.
Sheng Minglang asked this question today, but Yu Huan just glossed over it.
"It's okay." Lin He comforted him, "Your son-in-law is obviously a tough guy. He is the only one who can kill people, and there is no possibility that he will be killed by others. Just wait patiently."
In her impression, Sheng Mingfu still seemed to be a murderous maniac who killed people without blinking an eye.
Yu Huan couldn't help but laugh.
?
After all, he was still a little worried, so Yu Huan wrote a letter, found the lame man, and asked him to deliver it to Sheng Mingfu.
After a few days, the lame man said that the letter had been delivered, but there was no reply yet.
"My brother must be too busy. He is in charge of a lot of people." Sheng Minglang comforted.
Yu Huan nodded and comforted himself in this way.
Someone was selling lotus roots on the street, so Lin He bought some lotus roots and lotus bones, planning to go home and cook some lotus root and lotus bone soup. When the pot was boiling and the lotus seeds and red dates were put in, she remembered that she had forgotten to buy ginger, so she sent Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang to buy it.
They always like to go out together, otherwise they don't feel safe.
There was a shop selling these condiments, and Yu Huan asked the shopkeeper to weigh more.
At the door of the store, two idle people gathered together to talk.
Yu Huan paid the money and wanted to leave, but he still heard their words:
"Things are not going well in Rongcheng."
"My nephew said that the city is about to fall and everyone in the city has fled."
"Hey, please don't attack us."
Sheng Minglang touched Yu Huan's hand, holding back tears, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, let's go home first."
The child was quite strong outside, and Yu Huan thought he could really hold on. However, as soon as he entered the house, tears fell and he cried loudly: "Sister-in-law, do you think my brother and the others will be okay?"
Yu Huan went to see the lame man again, but he shook his head and said no, the situation in Rongcheng was not good and the letter could not be delivered.
In this way, Yu Huan lost contact with Sheng Mingfu.
"As long as there is no news, it's good news." Yu Huan comforted Sheng Minglang and also comforted himself.
Rongcheng is entirely supported by Sheng Mingfu. If something happened to Sheng Mingfu, the news would have spread everywhere.
Therefore, not receiving any news about Sheng Mingfu is already the best news.
