The rumble of horse hooves, this kind of movement, is all too familiar to the Li family.
Almost everyone threw away what they were doing and ran out.
Sure enough, the hundred and ten people came closer, and the first two horses were Li Laosi and Li Yong.
The two of them were both prostitutes, but because they saw their family members, they smiled with white teeth.
Before he could get closer, Mr. Li jumped down and rushed to his knees in front of my mother. "Mom, the unfilial son is back!" Mrs.
Li's eyes were red. She hugged her son and looked up and down. She saw that he was just dark and thin. There were no obvious injuries, so I felt relieved.
"You brat, you still know how to come back. It's been three or four months since I left!"
"Hey, I'm back now!" Li Laosi giggled, showing off like a child, "Mom, I have made a contribution, and now I am The generals are in command!"
Everyone was confused after hearing this. They were not very clear about the ranks in the army. Fortunately, Li Yong was there. He stepped forward to salute and explained with a smile: "Auntie, the generals in the general area will command five hundred soldiers. I am A small capital commander is also in charge of two to three hundred people."
"Okay, okay! This is a person who has been promoted to a general!"
Everyone in the Li family and the villagers were happy and shouted.
Li Laosi and Li Yong wanted to explain that Du Tonghe was still one level short of general, but everyone surrounded them and walked into the courtyard.
At this time, Hui Niang also held her belly and followed Aunt Wu.
When husband and wife meet, they are inevitably choked up.
Huiniang didn't feel bitter, but she felt aggrieved. She was almost eight months pregnant and had only seen her husband once.
Fortunately, my husband is back in a hurry. If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to see his father when the child is born!
Li Yong also knew that he owed his wife and quickly helped her. He didn't care about so many people around him and held his wife's hand tightly.
The Li family and the villagers just paid it back, but the soldiers who came back burst into laughter.
It was obvious that these were brothers who got along very well with Li Laosi and Li Yong. Their laughter reminded everyone.
The village chief hurriedly packed up and said, "Come quickly, go to the fields and pick a few more jade melons to quench the thirst of the brothers. Then each family will cook more for dinner and entertain the brothers to have a simple meal. Tonight, brothers Let's go live in the hot spring valley and soak in the hot springs to relieve our fatigue!"
Originally, you couldn't stay overnight in the valley, but tomorrow is Fu Niu's birthday, so the Li family paid special attention to it, and everyone in the village also followed suit.
The village chief thought that he had not had any rest for more than half a year, so he simply made an agreement with Li Laoer to close the valley for one day.
Unexpectedly, this arrangement would be of great use today, providing these warriors who had returned from the expedition with a good place to wash away their dust.
The soldiers were all happy and saluted and thanked them one after another.
The villagers immediately became busy. The women went home to cook, while the men went to pick jade melons and led their horses to help feed grass and water.
The soldiers sat under the big tree at the door to enjoy the cool air, and some lit a few small bonfires, illuminating the surrounding area.
Soon, the jade melons were returned, and the village chief personally cut them one after another with skillful and neat techniques.
Some soldiers came forward to talk and learned that the village chief and others were veterans who had retired from the battlefield and had also killed barbarians. They were immediately in awe.
Soon, each family also brought food. After the soldiers finished eating the jade melon, they praised it for being sweet, and then another rice bowl was stuffed into their hands.
Although it's too late to stew chicken and meat, it's still easy to make a bowl of white rice topped with thick onions and fried eggs. It's simple and nutritious.
The soldiers were extremely satisfied with their food, and then they went to the valley in groups.
The huge valley was as beautiful as a fairyland on earth. Only a hundred of them enjoyed the hot springs and beautiful scenery, which made the soldiers go crazy with joy. They jumped into the pool screaming and laughing loudly.
After returning from the battlefield of blood and fire, what better place could be better than this to relax their tense nerves? !
Li Laosi walked around the valley and saw that the brothers were playing crazy, so he ignored them and went home after giving a few instructions.
The whole family was waiting for him to eat. The meal was not very sumptuous, but it was full of the taste of home.
Li Laosi tried his best to eat until he was full. Finally he hiccupped and put down his chopsticks.
The dining table was removed and the family gathered around to talk.
Li Laosi hugged his daughter, kissed her again and again, and finally pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Is Fu Niu getting fat again?"
The family couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Don't say that, this girl She hates when others say she is fat. Last time she said she wanted to lose weight, but she regretted it after only one hungry meal."
Sure enough, Fu Niuer hugged her father's neck and protested, "I'm still young, I'll lose weight when I grow up. ! I have to sew my purse and write, but I don't have enough energy to eat!"
"Okay, okay, we must eat enough!" Li Laosi hugged his daughter, beaming, and became a spoiled girl again, "Let's be fatter. What's wrong, at least outsiders have seen it and know that our family is not short of rice!"
After that, he took out a dagger inlaid with gems from his arms.
The dagger was very small, only as long as a woman's hand. It was inlaid with colorful gems. It looked very luxurious and gave it a strong aura of rich people.
I'm so happy about the good news. This is a gem. It can be used to modify several sets of jewelry!
Li Laosi was even more happy when he saw his daughter's eyes shining brightly. He gave the dagger to his daughter and said, "This is the trophy that dad snatched from the barbarians. I can give it to you as a birthday gift, okay?"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, dad, dad." The best!"
Jiayin hugged the dagger without letting go, and kissed her father hard on the face a few more times.
Li Laosi's heart was filled with sweetness, but he said: "Fu Niu is a big girl, we can't do this anymore."
Li Lao Si defended her shortcomings, "You are her father, she is eighty years old, and she is also your daughter. Ah, besides, how can a four-year-old child be expected to be sensible?!"
When Jiayin saw her father touch her nose and feel depressed, she laughed and ran to hug her grandma to show off to her.
Before the old lady could even say a few words of praise, Jiaxi, Jiaan and Cat Brother couldn't bear it anymore, and crowded forward with envy in their eyes, wanting to see the novelty.
Li Laosi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have brought you good things, including bows, arrows, daggers and sabers. But the carriage delivering the trophies was moving slowly, so we rushed back quickly."
"Seriously?" Several boys They were so happy that they all came forward and hugged his arms, asking him to tell him about the battlefield.
Although Mrs. Li knew that the Marquis must have returned to Kyoto first, she was still worried about it and rushed to ask: "Fourth, can the Marquis come back tomorrow?"
"Yes, the Marquis said he will come back, but he has to wait until the next court. ." Li Laosi responded.
Mrs. Li felt relieved and listened to her son talk about the battlefield.
Of course, Li Laosi couldn't talk about the hardships and dangers, but only the pleasure and joy of winning the battle.
The children listened with great yearning, especially Jia An and Jia Xi, who wished they could immediately pick up their swords and go to the battlefield.
Jiayin played with the dagger, wondering whether she should go back to the wing and live with her parents at night.
Logically, she should give her father and mother, who had been separated for a long time, a quiet world for the two of them, but she also wanted to see if there were any scars on his body.
As a result, before she hesitated for long, the old lady started to chase people away, "Okay, let's go to bed. We can talk about it later. If we don't miss this night, there will be a banquet at home tomorrow."
As she spoke, she He picked up Jiayin, grabbed Brother Cat and Brother Li and entered the east room.
