Chapter 48: Sweet Letters
When Wu Qingyuan missed Amo and was sending letters to the village, Amo who stayed in the village also thought about him every day.
He still lived and grew up without Wu Qingyuan before, but since he met Wu Qingyuan, and after not seeing him for a few days, he felt that the life in the village seemed to be not as happy as before, the meal was not fragrant, his sleep was not comfortable, and he couldn’t actually sleep at night, looking at the orthographic scratches on the wall used to calculate the day Wu Qingyuan came back and wondering, when will Brother Wu come back…
But fortunately, there is still Zhou-ger who often come to him to relieve his boredom, and he is about to start making his own dress, as well as learning to read words with his younger brother and studying the out-of-print modern recipes left to him by Wu Qingyuan.
However, some rumors faintly emerged some rumors after Wu Qing left the village.
In fact, it’s not a big deal, it was just talking about how merchants running outside was so dangerous, Wu Qingyuan is on a very dangerous voyage this time, he will definitely not come back, even if he comes back, he must have injured his arm and broken his leg, in the next village a few years ago, there were two brothers who did business by running outside, and the last one died and only one injured came back, listen to the younger brother who came back alive, ah, the road of merchants was full of thieves who took people’s lives.
Everyone chattered as if something had happened to Wu Qingyuan, among which the Zhou family and the Zhao family talked the most vigorously, they either offended Wu Qingyuan before, or they were rectified by Wu Qingyuan, and in their hearts, they wished that Wu Qingyuan would die outside and not come back.
Especially the Zhao family, after that rumor, their face is lost, the most important thing is that in the grain, Haisheng store did not become a treasurer, and the original job of running the hall was lost.
It doesn’t matter if Zhao Haisheng has no money or background, it is impossible to find employment with the same treatment in a short period of time, so he can only temporarily return to the village to help his family farm.
He is not young, because that Sun Baozhu has not been married until now that she was twenty-four, now Sun Baozhu will not marry him, and very few people in the village are willing to marry their girl to the Zhao family, and finally, the Zhao family couple found a matchmaker to talk about it, and then said that there was a girl in the next village, but they heard that the girl was not only old, but also had a bit of a hot temper.
The Zhao family couple loves face and power, and they wanted to find a daughter-in-law who can make them enjoy happiness, or be easy to handle, but in the end, they messed up such a family affair, and their son was forced to come back to them, so of course, they were unwilling in their hearts, and they hated Wu Qingyuan and the Lin family.
“Hmph, daring to go do business in other places? Sure enough, it’s a kid who doesn’t have a single grey hair, and we haven’t heard from him for most of the month, I’m afraid I don’t know which barren mountain ridge he was cut into pieces by mountain thieves and fed to wild dogs, he deserves it!” Wu Qingyuan is far away, this is the Zhao family couple’s boldness, when they are gossiping, they will go to swear in a pile.
“You from the Zhao family have some morality, when did people provoke you, you curse people like this- are not afraid of shortening your lives…”
“This old lady is not afraid of a short life, this old lady’s life is very good, who you should be worried about is the ger of the Lin family, the little goblin who kills the reputation of others!”
The Zhao family has always scolded people without leaving any morality, and hates Wu Qingyuan and Lin Amo in their hearts so they will not easily let go.

In short, no matter what, the people in the village are not very optimistic about Wu Qingyuan’s matter.
Amo didn’t believe these words, but he still felt very uncomfortable after hearing too much, but he believed what Wu Qingyuan told him, and he also knew that Wu Qingyuan had such a magical means to save his life, and Brother Wu would definitely come back safely.
So soon he calmed down after a while, those rumors- left ear in, right ear out, he wholeheartedly studied the recipes, waiting to learn and for Wu Qingyuan to praise him.
After Zhou-ger and Zhang Dazhu married, the Zhang family did not dare to snub him at all and did not let him do any work, even his and Zhang Dazhu’s clothes, if not for Zhou-ger’s insistence on coming by himself, Zhang Daniang almost took the initiative to help take it to the wash, and several concubines also rushed to help him work, offering things to him like a young master.
Coupled with the fact that it was still in the New Year recently, every family was still idle, he had nothing to do and usually ran to Lin’s house, burned the fire for Amo, helped him study the recipes together, and the two gers chatted, and the day passed after doing things.
In this atmosphere, Wu Qingyuan’s love letter was also sent back.
“A letter has arrived, Amo come out soon- that kid Qingyuan has delivered a letter…..”
The servants of the post station came on horseback, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they met Lin Laogen, who had returned from work, and handed him the letter and package directly.
Lin Laogen didn’t know the words and couldn’t read the letter, but when he heard that it was sent back by Wu Qingyuan, he suddenly let go of his worried heart for his ger, and quickly ran home to report the good news with his things.
“Brother Wu has sent a letter? Where?”
Hearing the sound of the annunciation, Amo, who was cooking in the kitchen, threw down the spoon and ran out happily, and Zhou-ger was also behind him.
Wu Qingyuan sent a total of two letters back, with names written on the envelopes, one each from Lin Amo and Zhou-ger, and the things were all packed together because he was afraid that they would lose too many packages.
The two teenagers couldn’t wait to open the letter with the packages, but soon the two turned into the same expression and looked at Lin Tianbao.
“Tianbao, you help Zhou-ger read it…..”
Zhou-ger is embarrassed, Lin Amo is the same, the two of them used to be busy working in the field, the other was busy trying to find a way to make money and save money and did not have time or opportunity to study, only recently have they been learning to read, many words have not yet been learned, Wu Qingyuan’s letter has many words they did not know.
Therefore, this errand of reading letters can only let Lin Tianbao, the most learned little adult in the whole family, come and read.
Lin Tianbao also likes to show off the most, he took the envelope with a smile and began to read it, the first thing to read was Zhou-ger’s letter, the content of the letter was not complicated, that is, some words of concern between relatives, and at the end he explained how the contents of the package were divided.
When he arrived at Amo’s letter, the child suddenly laughed loudly, coughing twice before he began to read.
“Ahem, brother, oh no, it’s Amo: Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, after four days of travel, we arrived at the first stop station, here is a town where a hundred flowers bloom, full of flowers all year round, it is winter but plum blossoms are blooming, very beautiful, I will take you to see it in person later, there are a few bottles of unique hundred flowers wine here, it must be delicious to make wine balls, you try it, and……… Amo, I’ll be back soon, wait for me, I miss you…..- Brother, he misses you, elder brother- he said he missed you.”
A letter that was actually written between a very ordinary couple was read by Lin Tianbao, a little furry child, not to mention how ambiguous and numb, and at the end the child was still squeezing his eyebrows and joking.
The children were very funny, and everyone in the yard laughed, even the always serious old lady Lin had a smile on her face.
Amo was too embarrassed, in fact, Wu Qingyuan did not write any too explicit and meaty love words throughout the letter, just some explanations of the itinerary and the concern between couples, but just because of the last sentence ‘I miss you’, it all changed.
With a red face and unable to speak, he didn’t even look at the contents of the package, he snatched the paper and hid in the house, holding the envelope and lying on the bed to look at it again.
Although he didn’t know many words at all, he still read it very vigorously, and secretly made up his mind to work hard to read with his younger brother, and the next time Brother Wu wrote back- he didn’t need his brother to read it in front of everyone!
After that, the family letters and packages written by Wu Qingyuan at each post station began to be sent back one after another.
This movement is not small, there has not been an outsider in the village for many years, recently they could hear the sound of horses’ hooves every three to five days, and the post station chaplain wearing a service costume dragged the package to Liushu Village, many have been sent over time. Now, as long as they hear the sound of horses’ hooves, the children at the entrance of the village shout, “Lin Tianbao, your brother-in-law has sent another family letter back!”
Seeing the Lin family and Zhou-ger happily going home to read their family letters, and carrying a lot of things brought back from outside, no one in the village said that Wu Qingyuan was far from coming back.
They secretly sighed in their hearts- that this ger of the Lin family is really a blessing, how long has the Wu family been out, the letters and packages have been sent so diligently, look at those things, they are rare things that are not available in Shiqiao Town, this is how much he likes the ger of the Lin family…..
……….
On the other side, while the letters returned to Liushu Village, Wu Qingyuan and his party also continued on the road.
Along the way, Jiang Da and the others were very lucky, exchanged a lot of things, and had already earned a lot before they arrived in the Sith Country.
Wu Qingyuan is also lucky, on the surface he doesn’t seem to do anything, but in fact he has gained a lot of understanding of the towns he passes, he has a number of customs goods and met people in various places, and even knows and made some friends, every time he goes out to buy special products, he doesn’t just go to buy special products.
And on the way, through the introduction of Jiang Da, he also met many other caravan leaders, Wu Qingyuan all made good friends one by one, these people may not be useful now, but there will always be opportunities to use in the future, and the network is slowly being established and operated.
By mid-February, the group had traveled a long way to reach the long-known Sith country.
As Jiang Da said, it is rich in lucrative commodities such as gemstones, spices, fur products, coral ivory and so on, and most of them are controlled by a group of blue-eyed foreigners.
Zhu Jin, a fellow businessman of Jiang Da’s, led the way to find a seller, Wu Qingyuan listened to the price negotiation, and in the end, Zhu Jin could not do anything, and everyone got the goods at a common price.
Wu Qingyuan also bought some local goods, and found an opportunity to mix some glass products, thirteen spices edible seasonings, grain and other seeds and modern things in the space.
Jiang Da and the others were very interested in the glass products he took out, this thing was like glass, it was a valuable item, and seeing that Wu Qingyuan had actually purchased several large boxes, he couldn’t help but sigh at his strong financial resources.
But he was not interested in his seeds and felt that he was a bit of a waste of money to buy seeds, as he had to pick land to grow things, and the things in the north did not necessarily live when they were taken to the south, and the things in the south would definitely die when they were put in the west, so he was kind enough to give him popular advice that the merchants should make more money with those goods, and they were very enthusiastic.
Wu Qingyuan listened to it all and did not deny it, although gemstones are very valuable, but as an apocalyptic man, as well as having the golden finger of wood and space, he still prefers to do the business of grain, with grain in his hands, he is not panicked, and he does not plan to be a merchant who travels south and north.
And these glass products were temporarily added to the space to make money after he heard about the world situation from Zhou Daniu.
After staying in the Sith country for half a month, the goods transaction was successfully completed, and in early March, the people who had been busy trading for half a month began to set off to return.
Staying at home, Amo looked at the approaching days on the wall, and the smile on his face became wider and wider, he sorted out letters that came home, carefully put them into the box he had, and scratched another stroke on the wall.
Cuuuuuuttee
Huuby’s getting back
Man that old lady from the zhap family really has a rotten mouth. How did lin amo ruin other people’s reputation???? He did nothing wrong but instead it’s your son that decided to two-time, ruining your whole family’s reputation. Also, I don’t understand why is the Zhou family saying not so nice stuff? Isn’t it the family that zhou-ger married to?
