347 Reading the Letter
From New Year’s Eve to the seventh day of the first month, the county office was closed. The county magistrate could even take a break until the fifteenth day of the first month, but he could not leave the county in case something happened in his absence.
Zhang Zhan did not have any relatives or friends in Yongding County. Coincidentally, Qin Huai’s letter was delivered to his office, so he took the opportunity to come.
However, before coming, Zhang Zhan had made a lot of mental preparations.
After all, he had some very unforgettable memories here.
Ordinary people really could not muster the courage to step in again.
He had been especially low-key when he came. The villagers were all busy visiting their relatives and friends and did not realize that the county magistrate had already arrived in the village.
Wang Aibao poured more tea for Zhang Zhan and said to Tang Yuan beside her, “Go and tell the village chief that the county magistrate has come to our house.”
Since the county magistrate had come to the village, she naturally had to let the village chief know.
Zhang Zhan let them go.
Little Ah Yu did not know the twists and turns of the world of adults. She only smiled at Zhang Zhan and opened her small hands. “Uncle Zhang, where’s my letter?”
Zhang Zhan took out a letter from his pocket and took it out of the envelope. There were four to five pieces of paper inside.
Little Ah Yu held the letter in her hand and flipped it around.
After reading it, she reluctantly handed the letter to Zhang Zhan.
Zhang Zhan: “?”
“What’s wrong? You don’t want it anymore?”
“I don’t know so many words,” Little Ah Yu said. “Second Uncle and Second Brother aren’t at home today. Uncle Zhang, help me read the letter.”
In order to please him, Little Ah Yu even took out a few candies from her bag.
Some were from the Wang Family, and some were given to her by the other villagers.
Little Ah Yu specially chose the ones she liked to eat.
What choice did Zhang Zhan have? He could only read the letter to her.
“Ah Yu, I’ve received your letter…”
As he read, Zhang Zhan’s expression became strange.
Why didn’t he realize that the Little Demon King actually had the potential to talk?
Not only did he write down what he usually ate and drank, but he also wrote down the trivial matters of Wanning City. Even the account of the neighbor’s dog giving birth to a few puppies had occupied two lines.
Didn’t it take a lot of effort to include such a thing in the letter?
Zhang Zhan: “…” I don’t understand, and I’m shocked.
When he turned around, he saw Little Ah Yu sitting on the stool with her chin in her hands and her elbows on her knees. She was mesmerized.
Zhang Zhan: “…”
Why was he taking the conversation between two children seriously?
After reading the letter, Little Ah Yu took it over and counted the pages one by one.
After counting, she saw that there were only five pages. She was a little unhappy.
“I wrote 10 pages…” Little Ah Yu pursed her lips. Then, she remembered that at that time, she was actually not the one who wrote the letter, but Big Brother Ah You’s letter was probably written with his own hands.
In that case, Big Brother Ah You had actually worked very hard.
Then, she could not be unhappy!
Zhang Zhan only saw Ah Yu’s face switching between expressions like a magic trick. One moment, she was frowning, and the next moment, she was smiling happily.
Was this child stupid?
Just as he was thinking, Village Chief Hu had already arrived at Old man Wang’s house in fear.
He bowed to Zhang Zhan from afar. “I didn’t know that Lord magistrate was here. Sorry for not welcoming you!”
Zhang Zhan waved his hand. “Village Chief, there’s no need to be so formal. It’s a festival now, so let’s not talk about those superficial greetings. Please take a seat.”
After Village Chief Hu sat down, Zhang Zhan chatted with him about the food in the village.
After spring, Zhang Zhan would start distributing the two types of grain to the villagers he had contacted in the other villages.
The grain seeds would be supplied by the Hu Family Village.
This was also what they had agreed on previously.
Now that he was here, they could talk about the details.
Little Ah Yu did not want to listen to the adults talk about those things, so she brought the letter back to her room and placed it in the spatial pocket.
There were a few platforms built in the spatial pocket. They were made with Meatball’s energy and were filled with many fruits and desserts. They were all left for Little Ah Yu.
[Kid, go over and listen to their conversation later.]
Little Ah Yu: “Is there another mission?”
[Yes, you just need to go over and listen to their conversation.]
