As Duan Xiaohe held the letter, her mood was even more agitated than when she saw the little emperor, and she was unable to calm down for a long time.
Liu Jinfu had probably forgotten that the contracts he had bought for her were all written for his own purpose. He smiled and said, "Liu San doesn't recognize a single character, and I don't know if it was written by someone else or if he painted it himself. Since your sister-in-law is a girl from the county, I'm afraid she can read a few words. If she can't, then she'll help you look at them.
Duan Xiaohe did not have the face to say that she was knowledgeable, and knew a lot about astronomy. She thanked Liu Jinfu profusely, and the two of them exchanged a few polite words before sending him off.
She carried the letter and ran upstairs, too nervous to open it.
There were two words written on the envelope: Duan Xiaohe.
She gave a gentle smile and touched the two words, unwilling to part with them. She was not familiar enough with these three words, their circumference was just right. This was something that Liu San had been practicing since the day he started to learn to read from Qin Rui, and it was written even better than his own name.
As long as she thought of how forced him to use a brush to practice before she left, Duan Xiaohe wanted to laugh. Remember that every time she was asked to practice calligraphy, the clothes on Liu San's face and hands would always be filled with ink stains. In the end, she really couldn't bear to part with his calligraphy brush, ink, paper, and clothes.
The Liu San was not made for studying or writing, and only when it was in his Li Family, other than their names, there were not many words that could be written. A man in his twenties was like an enlightened child, he could only write simple characters one after another. Duan Xiaohe did not expect anything special to be written inside.
He could even write simple words as if they were decent. If it were slightly more complicated, then the words of Duan Xiaohe's previous life's primary school teacher would simply be bullsh * t.
She suddenly smiled. Could it be that this place was really filled with incomprehensible Glyph Devils?
After taking a deep breath, Duan Xiaohe carefully opened the letter.
Don't think about it. Be safe.
It was simply amazing!
Duan Xiaohe was excited for a while. Although these four words were written extremely well, but to a kindergarten's education, being able to write these words was a great surprise to her.
She took the book and read it again and again. She was so happy that she almost went to buy some firecrackers to put on display two firecrackers.
But...
Gone? These four words were all gone?
Dammit!
Duan Xiaohe shook the envelope open again. It was empty, only this piece of paper was inside. There was nothing mysterious on the paper. There were only these four words. There wasn't even a name written on it.
She was a little discouraged, cursing in her heart that the Liu San did not have any conscience. She had been waiting for so long and only had these few words, a person without any prospects would already know every word to be worth a thousand gold.
However, after she had finished sulking, she showed those four words again with a rare look, as if she wanted to carve them into her heart one by one.
Her man had given her a letter home.
Don't think about it. Be safe.
As long as he was safe...
Xia Yu knew that she was in her room, and also knew that the Liu San had sent a letter to the Feng Family, so he knocked on the door. Liu Da heard nothing from inside, so he anxiously knocked on the door.
"Where's little brother's letter?"
Xia Yu patted Liu Da's shoulder, telling him not to be so anxious.
Duan Xiaohe opened the door and took out the letter, "Liu San said do not worry about safety, just these four words."
Liu Da did not know the word, and could only understand the word "peace", so don't worry about it …
"You'll be back in five years?"
Xia Yu laughed, and explained the meaning of the two words to him, then told him to play by herself after she was done. Xia Yu knew that she was literate, so she probably guessed that she was the one who taught Liu San the flippant and twisted words. She joked about how when Liu San returned, he would probably be different.
Duan Xiaohe said that as long as his heart did not change, even if she was missing an arm or a leg, she would still be a man.
Since she came to write a letter, she wanted to go tell Liu Er about it. The next day, when he arrived at Liu Er's house, he coincidentally met Liu Er who had just returned.
Liu Er looked dejected, but he did not have the spirit to speak when he saw them. Widow Li was sweeping up the snow in the courtyard, as if he was already used to his actions.
"What happened to him?"
Widow Li gave her a similar bland look, "It's not like I have anything to do after I go out."
Duan Xiaohe understood, it must be that Liu Er had touched a wall again, both of them had feelings for her. She avoided speaking about this question, and instead asked about the Old Man Liu. "Where's father?"
"He's been lying on the brick bed for the past few days, and his body's been hurting a lot."
Duan Xiaohe nodded, and went to the Old Man Liu's room. Widow Li caught up with them, making it difficult for them to say anything.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it, there's no need to do this. "
Widow Li bit her lips, and said after grinding for a long time: "Can you help Liu Er find something to do? "There are old people and children at home. It's still cold …"
Duan Xiaohe frowned, "If you don't have the money, can't you go into the mountains and chop them yourself?"
Widow Li shut her mouth, lowered her head and left.
She retracted her gaze and knocked on Old Man Liu's door. Old Man Liu coughed from inside, "Third brother's wife, come in."
After entering the room, she saw that Old Man Liu, who had tightly wrapped her in a blanket, was slightly stunned.
"Why didn't you burn the brick bed?"
Old Man Liu started coughing again. After he stopped coughing, he sighed: "All the money in the family has already been taken away for me to eat. Where would I find the money to buy firewood?"
"Why don't you go into the mountains and chop them down? Why do you always want to buy them?"
Old Man Liu was startled and shook his head: "Forget it, this is the time to turn the snow into snow. Even if I bring it back, it wouldn't burn for a while. Forget it. "
Forget it, she probably wanted her to pay first with the silver. Now that she said it, it was no wonder the Old Man Liu and the Widow Li had such reactions.
After Liu San left, she always wanted to take care of this side, and from time to time he would take out some food or give them some money. This made the whole family always want to give his some money, and never think of doing anything real.
Since Liu Er could not find anything to do outside, he could just stay in the village to help himself. If he did not have any firewood, he could just go ahead and cut them off by himself.
I have to count on her for something!
She was not a Bodhisattva, and she did not have such a good heart.
"Father, Liu San has sent a letter."
Old Man Liu was excited, "A letter? What did you say? "
"Just say that he's fine right now. Let's not worry."
Old Man Liu said a few good words in succession, he was extremely happy. Only after this battle was over did he remember to ask Liu San where he was, whether he could return in the spring and so on.
Duan Xiaohe shook his head, saying that this was the only thing on the letter.
Just as she came out of the house, Duan Xiaohe heard Little Ruixue crying. Seeing that the door was opened by her, Little Ruixue entered as she was wearing at least two small jackets. Looking at her made her use her arms, wouldn't that make her feel a prickly heat?
When the Widow Li saw her enter, he did not show any of his usual enthusiasm and continued to hug his child as he coaxed her. Liu Er did not want the child to cry, so he followed him anxiously.
Although Duan Xiaohe was not a Bodhisattva, she still had a conscience and left the silver on him so that she could buy some firewood to burn the brick bed. Then, she would have the Widow Li give the child less clothes, or else she would get goosebumps.
After returning home, Duan Xiaohe focused all of her energy on drawing the Fancy Dress. When it was spring, she would have to busy herself with work, so she might not have to worry about Fancy Dress anymore.
Xia Yu went upstairs and called her over to eat. The moment the two of them went downstairs, Liu Er ran over.
"Why is he here?"
Xia Yu had never been good to Liu Er, but now that he had brought food over, his face turned even worse.
Liu Er did not mind, he walked over to Duan Xiaohe and gave her the two or three taels of silver he had left for them previously.
"Forget about the money, I'll go up the mountain later to chop some firewood."
When Liu Da heard that he was going up the mountain to chop firewood, he chased after him. Liu Er shook his head, he said that it would not be good to turn the snow into snow and go up the mountain, at that time he might not even have time to bother with Liu Da.
After he finished speaking, he left, charging forward with the look of a Liu San.
He really was a brother.
That back figure made Duan Xiaohe's heart soften a little, and she chased after him as well, "Wait a moment."
Liu Er stood still and looked at her puzzledly. I returned that silver back in the original number. I wasn't greedy for even a single coin. "
Duan Xiaohe pursed her lips and smiled, "If Liu San didn't come back during the spring season, I was prepared to have someone come and help me farm the land. "If you had the time, come and help me. I'll give you the money then."
Liu Er was startled, and then he closed his eyes again. We're all family, so there's no need for money. Just call me when the time comes. "
Seeing that he was about to leave, Duan Xiaohe called for him again. You don't need to go and cut it. I still have some firewood. I'll go to town tomorrow and ask around, but I don't have anything to do, so come with me. "
After saying all that, she came in, but Liu Er stood at the door and stared at her. Xia Yu purposely called him in for a meal before leaving, only then did Liu Er blush and said that food had already been cooked, and quickly left.
Duan Xiaohe chased after him and asked him if she wanted any more firewood? Liu Er ran back with a red face, carefully picked up a few, awkwardly thanked him two more times, and ran away.
She stood at the door with Xia Yu, looking at her figure disappearing from her sight before returning home.
Liu Er had changed.
The next day, Duan Xiaohe called Liu Er to go to town, and intentionally found a job for Liu Er to do. Even though he was a bit tired, it was fortunate that he had the money to pay. It all depended on whether or not he could persevere, whether or not he had the heart to do so.
After she finished, she intentionally looked at Liu Er's face. Although she saw that he was unwilling, she did not say anything.
Initially, Duan Xiaohe wanted to buy a cow, but since she was going to raise a cow, she had to feed it grass.
Returning to the Liu Village, Duan Xiaohe saw a carriage parked in front of her house from afar, and she was still sighing about how this carriage looked even more luxurious than Little County Princess's. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xia Yu and Liu Da standing fearfully in the courtyard, and beside the two of them, there were a few people.
It was the Little Emperor.
