Chapter 875

Zhoujiazhuang is an ordinary village near the Yellow River. It has a meager income close to the land every year. Whenever the agriculture is slack, Zhou Liu will sit on the Bank of the Yellow River and herd ducks! All rely on Merton to promote artificial incubation technology, and the ducks on both sides of the Yellow River are almost doubling, and the Zhou family's ducks are just one of them.

The whole Zhou family village knows that Zhou Liu misses her two sons most. When herding ducks, Zhou Liu's favorite thing is to look at the surging water of the Yellow River in a daze

The eldest son of the Zhou family is doing business in other places. The youngest son joins the army and guards the border. He is often not at home. Only his second son is accompanied. Although Zhou Liu strongly supports his two sons to go out, he can't miss them if he doesn't come back once over the years.

On this day, Zhou Liu was herding ducks along the Yellow River as usual. As soon as he drove the ducks to the river, he saw his second son running excitedly.

"Mother, the eldest brother has written." the second son of the Zhou family shouted excitedly.

"Seriously! Who sent it? Thank them again quickly and ask about da'er and san'er by the way." Zhou Liu said happily.

The eldest son of the Zhou family is doing business abroad and occasionally asks his fellow countrymen to send letters back. Even if his son has paid, Zhou Liu will still thank each other again or leave each other for a meal.

The second son of the Zhou family shook his head and said, "mother, it's not from his hometown, but from the courier of the hall."

"How could this be possible? The post soldiers can not only send official documents to the officials, but also send letters to your eldest brother, a businessman?" Zhou Liu didn't believe it.

"My mother doesn't know. According to the Posthouse, the imperial court has reformed the post station. Now the post station not only delivers official documents for the imperial court, but also delivers letters for ordinary people. Moreover, the price is only a penny. I think my eldest brother learned about it and wrote to his mother at the first time." the second son of the Zhou family explained. Pass the news from the post soldier to his mother.

"Is there such a good thing?" Zhou Liu doubted, but her son's letter was right in front of her, and she couldn't wait to say, "read it quickly!"

"My mother is on the..."

The second son of the Zhou family opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it aloud.

The Zhou Liu family is not literate, and the second son of the Zhou family has only studied in a private school for a few years. Fortunately, the eldest son of the Zhou family knows the level of his brothers, writes easy to understand and ordinary greetings, and informs him of his recent situation.

"OK, your eldest brother is safe!" Zhou Liu couldn't help crying when he learned the news about his eldest son.

"Mother, don't worry! The eldest brother has made a lot of money in Chang'an city with his back to Mojia village. He will be filial to you next time he comes back." the second son of the Zhou family comforted.

Zhou Liu nodded, suddenly remembered and asked, "since the post soldiers of the imperial court can deliver letters, what about your third brother's letters?"

The second son of the Zhou family was helpless and said, "mother, the third brother is far away from the Great Wall to guard the border, which is much farther than the eldest brother. I'm afraid he'll have to walk a few more days on the road at the same time."

The mother of the Zhou family nodded. Seeing this, the second son of the Zhou family couldn't help changing the topic and said, "mother, why don't we answer a letter to the eldest brother? According to the post servant, as long as we stick stamps and throw them into the mailbox in the countryside, we can send them to the eldest brother. Just when the post servant came, I bought more stamps."

How many stamps are sold is related to the income of the post station. Almost every post servant is sparing no effort to sell stamps. Just when the second son of the Zhou family knew that his mother missed his eldest brother and third brother, and the price was cheap, he bought more.

"Write, not only to your eldest brother, but also to your third brother, telling them not to worry about home outside. It's important to take care of your health." Zhou Liu sobbed with tears.

Soon, the two letters were completed in the hands of the second son of the Zhou family. Although there was only a simple family length, it placed a mother's yearning for her son.

The same thing is also happening in the north and south of the river. Whether it is a small rural courtyard or a gaomen courtyard in a prosperous city, it is great joy for everyone to receive letters from their relatives.

Report peace and tell missing, so that countless mothers no longer worry about wandering children far away from home, so that the expectations of countless wives can be realized. A small stamp carries a letter from home, so that countless families are full of laughter and countless relatives can get together in space.

"What!"

The mighty cries of killing filled the wilderness. Outside the Yanmen pass of the Great Wall, teams of majestic soldiers were practicing nervously.

Yanmen pass is an important border town. Although the Tang Dynasty has defeated the East Turks and there has been no war at the border for a long time, the practice of Yanmen pass has never been relaxed for a day.

After a whole day's training, almost all the soldiers returned to the barracks with fatigue.

"Zhou Laosan, your letter." suddenly, Shi Chang shouted to an ordinary soldier Zhou Laosan.

Zhou Laosan was stunned and said, "what's the matter? My letter has been sent out and how can it be returned."

"Maybe your letter is overweight and the stamps haven't been pasted enough!" a soldier guessed.

Other soldiers gloated and looked at Zhou Laosan. However, some of them wrote several pages of stationery. As a result, they were suddenly overweight. Finally, they just pasted several stamps to pass.

Shi Chang shook his head and said, "this is not a letter you sent, but a letter from your family."

"What?" suddenly all the soldiers became a sensation. Their family letters had just been sent out, and Zhou Laosan's was the first family letter received by Yanmenguan.

"Family can also write to us?" Zhou Laosan murmured to himself, afraid to buy a channel.

Shi Chang has no good airway: "it's natural. As long as there is an address, the ends of the earth can be sent."

"It's my second brother's letter. I must have heard about the post delivery. Take the initiative to send me a letter!" Zhou Laosan asked Shi Chang to help look at the sender's name. Then he suddenly said.

Many soldiers immediately looked at Zhou Laosan with envy. They couldn't help but be moved by his tacit understanding with his family. At the same time, they couldn't help looking forward to it. How good it would be if they could receive letters from their family and learn the news of their family.

Fortunately, the soldiers did not wait too long. With the first letter sent to the barracks, the second letter also came one after another.

The guard General of Yanmen pass found that many soldiers always waited for the arrival of the post soldiers. Whenever a letter from home was sent back to Yanmen pass, there would be bursts of cheers from the whole Yanmen pass.

The same thing happened in almost all military barracks. Many generals keenly found that since the soldiers under their command sent letters to their families, the homesickness that had originally permeated the military barracks was swept away, and the mental outlook of all the soldiers took on a new look.

"Your Highness's post station communication is really extraordinary. If Yang Guang had this skill in those years, how could 100000 children in Guanzhong not follow wholeheartedly, how could they die and die." no less general led with emotion.

Who could have thought that a small letter could solve the homesickness that makes countless generals headache.
