Chapter 327： Wash the dust

Chapter 327 Washing away the dust

The Li family is very familiar with the sound of horse hooves.

Nearly 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 have a dirty look, but because they saw their family members, they smiled with white teeth.

Before he could get closer, Li Laosi jumped down and rushed to his knees in front of his mother, "Mom, the unfilial son is back!"

Mrs. Li's eyes were red. She hugged her son and looked up and down. She was relieved to see that he was just darker and thinner, with no obvious injuries.

“You brat, you still know how to come back, it’s been three or four months since you left!”

“Hey, I’m back!” Li Laosi giggled, showing off like a child, “Mom, I’ve made a great contribution, and now I’m in charge of most of the cities!”

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 Commander-in-Chief of the Dadu will command five hundred soldiers. I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Little Dudu. In charge of two to three hundred people."

“Okay, okay! This is a promotion to become a general!”

Everyone in the Li family and the villagers were very happy and started shouting one after another.

Li Laosi and Li Yong wanted to explain that Dutong and General were still one level behind, 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 bound to burst into tears.

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, so he 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.

Evidently these are brothers who get along very well with Li Laosi and Li Yong. Their laughter reminds 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 Just go to the hot spring valley and soak in the hot springs to relieve your fatigue!”

Originally, you were not allowed to 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 would not have 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 come in handy 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 got 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 shade, and some lit a few small bonfires, illuminating the surrounding area.

Soon, the jade melons were returned, and the village chief cut them one after another with a skillful and neat technique.

Some soldiers came forward to chat 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 and cover it with thick green onions and fried eggs. It’s simple and nutritious.

The soldiers were very 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. The soldiers went crazy with joy and jumped into the pool with roars, and the laughter was loud. After returning from the **** battlefield, what better place to relax their tense nerves? !

Li Laosi walked around the valley and saw that his brothers were playing crazy, so he ignored them and went home after giving a few instructions.

The whole family is waiting for him to eat. The meal is not very sumptuous, but it is full of the taste of home.

Li Laosi tried his best to eat until he was full, and finally he hiccupped before putting 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 but laugh after hearing this, "Don't say that. This girl hates people saying she's fat. Last time she said she wanted to lose weight, but she regretted it after just one meal."

Sure enough, Fu Niu'er hugged her father's neck and protested, "I'm still young, and I will lose weight when I grow up! I have to sew my purse, write, and I don't have enough food to eat!"

"Okay, okay, we must eat enough!" Li Laosi hugged his daughter, beaming, and became a doting girl again, "What's wrong with us being fat? At least outsiders see it and know that our family is not short of rice!"

After saying that, he took out a dagger inlaid with precious stones from his arms.

The dagger is very small, only as long as a woman’s hand. It is inlaid with colorful gems. It looks very luxurious and has 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 booty that dad snatched from the barbarians. I can give it to you as a birthday gift, okay?"

“Okay, okay! Thank you dad, dad is the best!”

Jiayin hugged the dagger without letting go, and kissed her father **** the face a few more times.

Li Laosi's heart was filled with sweetness, but he said: "Fu Niu is a big girl, and we can't do this again."

Mrs. Li defended her shortcomings, "You are her father, and even though she is eighty years old, she is also your daughter. Besides, how can you expect a four-year-old child to be sensible?!"

Jiayin saw his father touch his nose and feel depressed, so he laughed and ran to hug his grandma to show off with her.

 Before the old lady could even say a few words of praise, Jia Xi, Jia An and Cat Brother couldn't bear it any longer. They crowded forward with envy in their eyes, wanting to see something new.

Li Laosi said quickly: "Don't worry, I have brought you good things. We have bows, arrows, daggers and sabers. However, the carriage delivering the trophies is moving slowly, and we will rush back first."

“Seriously?” Several boys were so happy that they stepped forward and hugged his arms, urging him to talk about the battlefield.

Even though Mrs. Li knew that the Marquis must have returned to Kyoto first, she was still worried about it and asked quickly: "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.

Old Mrs. Li was relieved and listened to her son talk about the battlefield.

Of course Li Laosi cannot talk about the hardships and dangers, but only the joy and joy of winning the battle.

The children were full of yearning after hearing this, especially for Jia An and Jia Xi, and they 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 speaking, she should give her father and mother a quiet world for the two of them after a long absence, 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 will talk about what we have to say later. We will have a banquet at home tomorrow."

As she spoke, she picked up Jiayin, took Brother Cat and Brother Li and entered the east room.
