Chapter 24 Flies have the most wives

Dear Xiaowen: Dad knew a man who had a problem with his eyes and saw everything in two. Dad said to him, "That's not bad! You only have one dollar in your hand, but you have two dollars in your eyes!" He said: "I don't think two yuan is worth it, it's only worth it if someone else sees it." Dad said: "Then if you ask for a wife, it's like asking for a pair of sisters and twins." He said: "There is such a little advantage! " In fact, he is far behind the flies.

You need to find that letter and have a look.It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand some of the letters your father wrote to you, but if you read them often, or ask your sisters and brothers for advice during their breaks, you will gradually understand everything.
