Chapter 65 Report to Uncles and Parents Do not be overworked

【original】 Nephew Guofan sincerely Uncles, parents and adults Li An.Sixteen received two letters from home, one letter from the inner father, one letter from the fourth brother, one letter from the ninth brother and one letter from Jidi, and one letter from Ouyang Muyun. He learned everything.My grandfather's illness must not be reduced, day and night I worked hard, my father and uncle worked hard to serve me, but my nephew was not far from my knees, and I couldn't use the slightest effort. I couldn't rest in my thoughts all night long. Jiang Minqiao had a letter, telling him that he had bought a tiger bone and sent it to my family in July to make an ointment with it: it can cure impotence, etc. I don't know if the fruit will be delivered?

Uncle Wen started the public housing last year and worked hard to manage it.The appearance is very grand, the workmanship is extremely solid, and the cost is only a few hundred thousand, but the person who sees it is expected to be a model of three hundred thousand.Too much work, until he vomited blood, and his grandfather recovered from his illness, and his diligence was even worse; and his father also took care of the housekeeping in addition to serving his grandfather, and took a lot of rest. As you grow older and your energy grows, it is time to maintain your spirit and take a little rest. You can order your fourth brother to take care of the trivial affairs at home.As far as serving the grandfather, all things that are laborious and careful, the father and uncle will take care of them. For heavy labor, one additional hired worker will be hired, and if it is not enough, two people will be hired.

In recent years, my nephew's energy has been poor day by day. Occasionally, he has a little hard work, and ringworm occurs immediately. He sits for a long time at night and becomes faint the next day.Huang used his strength to maintain his body, and didn't work very hard, in order to be free from illness and pain, and to comfort the long-term mind of the hall.Those who write outside, ask to write, ask to correct poems and essays, often go on for a long time and fail to repay their promises, so they always feel guilty, and when they don’t feel at ease every day, the former four younger brothers are in Beijing and can take care of all trivial matters for me, while the sixth younger brother does not care about it. It's not impossible to manage; therefore, after the fourth brother returned home, he asked for a reply, and things that should be paid attention to in his hometown must not be neglected.

The nephew and others have been in good health recently, and the size of the room is all right.If the sixth younger brother persuades him to return to the south in Beijing, first, he will not be told to avoid it; He refused to return to the township examination, and neither did his nephew. For my uncle's 40th birthday last year, my nephew would like to prepare a pair of gowns; for my aunt's 40th birthday this year, my nephew would like to prepare a cotton coat, and I will hand over everything to Cao Xiyuan, and I can wear it when I am full.The mother's outer coat and the Hanlu cloth jacket were also returned together.I heard that my mother is thinking of using a maid, which is also easy to do. I can buy it in the provincial capital for only three or forty thousand. If there are fleeers from Hubei who come to the village, it will be more convenient. I hope my uncle will order my fourth brother to buy it quickly for my mother. The aunt's emissary will be sent back by his nephew.

My nephew's situation this year is more embarrassing than in previous years, but it can still be perfunctory.If you can get a foreign job next year, you may be promoted to be a servant.You can bridge the gap.I don't know if it's embarrassing for Jidi's happy event this year?My nephew received the salary in August.That is to say, fifty gold should be sent back, that is to say, several hundred gold per year last year.Everything is going on in Beijing, and my nephew can mediate it without any effort. The adults in the hall don't have to worry about it, I sincerely report it. (July 20, 28th year of Daoguang)

【Note】 ① Jiao Lao: Work hard. ②劬: Toil, toil. 【Translation】 My nephew Guofan hereby reports Uncles, parents and adults Li An.On the 16th, I received two letters from home, including a letter from my father, a letter from my fourth brother, a letter from my ninth brother and Ji brother in the province, and a letter from Ouyang Muyun. The illness has not been alleviated, and I have to work day and night. My father and uncle serve me hard, while my nephew is far away from my knees, unable to exert any strength. I toss and turn all night thinking about it. Jiang Minqiao has a letter, telling me that he has bought tiger bones and will deliver them to my home in July, and use them to make ointment, which can cure impotence and paralysis. I wonder if he has really sent them?

I heard that my uncle started the public house last year, worked hard and put all his heart and soul into running it. The outside is very grand and the construction is very solid.However, due to excessive fatigue, he vomited blood later, and then his grandfather fell ill again, and the diligent eye attendant was very tired.And my father is also serving his grandfather's spare time, managing the housekeeping, and never resting for a moment.The nephew thought to himself that his father and uncle are getting older and their energy is getting stronger day by day. It is a good time to take care of their spirits and take a little rest. The fourth brother can take care of the trivial affairs of the family. The father and uncle are responsible for their own affairs.For heavy and heavy work, one more hired worker can be added to do it, or two can be hired if it is not enough.

In recent years, my nephew's energy has been declining day by day. Occasionally, if he pays more attention, ringworm will occur.If you sit for a long time at night, you will feel tired the next day.So try to take care of your body, don't work very hard, so that you don't get sick, and the adults in the comfort hall miss you from afar.People from outside who come to ask to write articles, inscriptions, and correct poems often fail to get what they want for a long time. Therefore, when they often feel guilty and have no peace of mind every day, the fourth brother used to be in Beijing and could help me with all trivial matters. But I can't control it.After the fourth brother returned, my nephew inevitably neglected the letters from outside and the things that should be paid attention to in my hometown.

The nephew and others have been in good health recently, and the whole family is doing well.The sixth brother was in the capital, and his nephew tried hard to persuade him to go back to Hunan. One was to avoid others saying that I didn’t know how to avoid it; At home, his father and uncle strictly supervised him, so he could work hard, but he refused to go back to take the rural examination, and his nephew had no choice. My uncle was forty-one years old last year, and my nephew prepared a pair of robes.It's my aunt's 40th birthday this year, and my nephew will prepare a padded robe.They were handed over to Cao Xiyuan to bring back, and they could be worn when the filial obedience was over. Mother's outer coat and Han Lu cloth jacket were also paid home together.I heard that my mother wants to hire a maid recently, and this matter is also easy to do.If you go to the provincial capital to buy it, it is only three to forty thousand. If there are people fleeing from Hubei to the countryside, it will be cheaper.I hope that my uncle will tell my fourth brother to pay attention and buy it quickly so that my mother and aunt can order it, and my nephew will send back the money needed immediately.

The nephew's embarrassment this year is worse than in previous years.But it's still barely perfunctory to get by. Next year, if you can get a foreign job or be promoted to be a servant, you can make up for the shortfall.It's embarrassing for my younger brother Ji to hold a wedding this year.My nephew received the salary in August, and immediately sent fifty gold back home, which is the promise of one hundred gold a year that I mentioned last year.All the troubles in the capital, my nephew has managed everything by myself, it doesn't take much effort, my lord, don't worry about it.My nephew would like to report.
