Farmhouse Little Fortune

Chapter 291 (290 one) what day is it today

Yu Yu was surrounded by a group of tall and thick men, before she could speak to stop the crowd, Hu Qianhu spoke first.

"Okay, okay! Last time it was Xu Huo's turn, this time it's Liu Shuang's turn, as usual, the first letter is read by Brother Xiaoyu, and the rest are read by Brother Xiaoyu watching by himself, by the way. Let's see who remembers the most words! The one who reads the most wrong characters or can't read the most, as usual, will be fined [-] yuan!" After Hu Qianhu announced loudly, everyone stopped crowded.

Liu Shuangqianhu handed the letter to Yu Yu, and said to everyone with a smile: "This time I will trouble Brother Yu to read my letter to me. I can finally be a referee this time without being fined, hahaha!"

Yu Yu accepted the letter from Liu Qianhu with a smile, and read aloud: "My lord, father. I have received the letter from last month, and all the money and goods sent by my father have been received. Mother and son heard that father was in the army. Zhong Ligong has been promoted to a thousand households, and everyone is very excited. The mother said that the family has a lot of money, and the father can save the salary for other purposes...Everything is good in the family, and the elders of the clan care about it, so the father should not be distracted. , I also hope that my father will take care of himself in the army, I hope that the war will end soon, and we can reunite once this autumn."

Yu Yu read the letter quickly and clearly, and soon finished reading this long letter from home.

When Liu Shuang listened to Yu Yu read the words of his wife and son, his eyes were already moist. Seeing Yu Yu finished reading, he thanked him again and again.

Yu Yu also felt a little emotional when he looked at it. Most of these men were illiterate, and many of them were conscripted by farmers to the frontier.

It is not easy for them to receive a letter from home, and there are many rules in the military, at most they can send a letter to their family once a month, and the cost of sending a letter is not small.

Liu Shuang and the others are from hundreds of households, and most of them were rewarded for their meritorious deeds last time, so they were able to write letters home.

And among these people, only Liu Shuang's son is studying, and the family letters he received were written by his son himself. The family letters of other people are basically either paid for by others to rewrite them, or written by people who have read books in the family. of.

Most of the letters I asked someone to write for me were written in a slick manner, and these rough people couldn't even understand them.

Yu Yu is patient, and when reading letters to them, if he encounters something very difficult to understand, he will explain it to them by the way.

So these people like to ask Yu Yu to read the letter for help.

Yu Yu came here more often, and everyone got to know Yu Yu well. The men also wanted to improve themselves. Seeing that Yu Yu was easy to talk, they began to ask Yu Yu for advice. Now almost everyone in this camp can write their names. , only Liu Shuang came the latest and could read the fewest characters.

Since the rule of fines was implemented, Liu Shuang was always the one who was fined.

After Yu Yu finished reading, Zhang Baihu picked up his letter and began to read it aloud. He stumbled and couldn't understand or mispronounced some words. He read the letter for nearly a quarter of an hour before finishing it.

Afterwards, everyone read their letters in order, and Xu Huhu and Xu Baihu had the most typos this time.

Xu Huhu is a tall and strong man, but he is not very old, he only looks about eighteen or nineteen years old.He frowned and read the wrong word this time back and forth softly several times, then he readily touched a hundred big coins from the bedside and put them in the referee Liu Qianhu's place.

"My fine! I will definitely not make so many mistakes next time!" Xu Huhu reassured loudly when paying the fine.

Liu Shuang accepted the fine and smiled at Xu Huhu: "I think so every time, but I pay the fine every time. You say that! It's useless!" After each person in the tent divided five big coins, the rest was given to Yu Yu.

When Liu Shuang handed the money to Yu Yu, Hu Qianhu said to Yu Yu from the side: "This is the pen fee for Brother Xiao Yu this time, and I also ask Brother Xiao Yu to write us a letter as usual, and we can go there next month. On the day when the letter was mailed at home, we sent it back!"

Others echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, it can be regarded as the tuition fee for Brother Xiaoyu to teach us to learn how to read!"

Yu Yu was not shy. After receiving the money, he went back to the tent and took eight pieces of white paper, pen and ink that had been cut out, and went back to Hu Qianhu's tent. Write Qianhu's letter first, come, Hu Qianhu, please tell me!"

Hu Qianhu pondered for a while, and then began to say: "Brother Xiaoyu, help me write a greeting to my old lady, and ask her if her legs are okay, and then tell my wife to let her run less to her mother's house and more Take good care of my mother and my young brother, and I will remember her kindness when I go back. If she doesn't care about my family, I will divorce her when I go back!"

Yu Yu didn't care what stories were in Hu Qianhu's words, he just wrote it according to what he said, polished it a little, and then handed it to him.

Hu Qianhu took the letter written by Yu Yu and read it carefully, blew the scratches on the letter with satisfaction, and said: "Brother Xiaoyu is worthy of being Brother Xiaoyu, the handwriting is really good. Good! It's not like us, who have learned characters from you for so long, but the characters we write today are still scratched."

Yu Yu said modestly: "Where is that? After you read the letters for a few more months, you will be able to read and write letters by yourself. I just read a few years more than you, and that's nothing."

After speaking, he called the next one to come forward and say what he wanted to write.

After the letter was finished, Yu Yu put away the pen and ink and was ready to go back.

Yu Yu walked out of the camp, only to find Xu Huhu following him.

"Xu Baihu doesn't need to see me off, I'll just go back every few steps between these two camps." Yu Yu thought that Xu Huhu was being polite and wanted to see her off, so he stopped him politely.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huhu suddenly bowed to Yu Yu, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Yu, I...I have something to ask you..."

Yu Yu, who was only begged by Yun Qing in the afternoon, was a little dazed, wondering what day is today, why are there so many people begging for something?

"Is there anything difficult for you? Tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely try my best to help you!" Yu Yu has a good impression of Xu Huhu, and has written several letters for him. He is a filial and honest person, so his attitude towards him is not bad.

When Xu Huo heard what Yu Yu said, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he knelt down in front of Yu Yu with a plop, "I want to ask you to be my teacher, please teach me how to read and write!"

Yu Yu was startled, it was the first time she received such a big gift from someone, and it was a big gift from a man who was much older than her, like a black tower.

"Although I have studied for several years, I am not a famous Confucianist. If you want to read and write, I can teach you, but you can take me as your teacher..." Yu Yu took the pen and ink in his hand with one hand, and stretched out a He helped Xu Huhu up with his hand, "I've never taught a student, I'm afraid I can't teach you well." Yu Yu still declined politely.

　good night
