Chapter 851 The unfilial son is back!
Jiayi also knows this truth in his heart, but whenever he thinks about his family being separated, he still feels uncomfortable...
The uncle and nephew talked for a long time, their voices were very low, but the laughter of the two soldiers and the guards carried far away.
Li Laosi gave his nephew a few more instructions and left with his soldiers.
Before leaving, he signaled to his soldiers to leave a silver coin and invited the officers to drink tea.
The officers sent him off respectfully, and everyone started talking about it at the end.
“This fourth general of the Li family is really mighty. I heard he is the most brave general of the Northern Expedition Army!”
“I’ve heard about it too, and if you have done great service this time, the court will definitely give you a reward.”
"The main reason is that such a powerful person is so polite to us, unlike some people who wish they had eyes on their foreheads. They are clearly asking us to do things, but they still want us to fawn over him. It's so stupid that I want to give him two slaps! "
“Haha, that’s what I said!”
Soon, the prison boss came back. He heard that Li Laosi had been here and had given him a reward, so he sent someone to buy a few boxes of snacks and distributed them to everyone.
Originally, such a good thing was called a banquet, where everyone would eat together and have a good time.
Now three meals a day are taken care of by cyclamen, and everyone is so greedy to eat that they can't help but go to other people's banquets.
I simply bought some snacks and took them back with me. The children and the elderly at home were also happy...
Not to mention how lively the city was, how the DPRK changed after the Northern Expedition returned from victory.
Just saying that Broken Gold Beach has been extremely lively since dawn.
The village chief specially changed into a new coat and trousers, and also took out his new smoking pole. He walked around the village and happily directed everyone, killing pigs and sheep, and setting up stoves to light fires.
Over at the Hot Spring Valley, arrangements were made yesterday. Today and tomorrow we will be closed to all guests, leaving space for the soldiers who have returned from the expedition to wash away their dust.
This is almost an iron-clad rule set in the village!
Although the guests complained a little, none of them made a fuss.
Although the literary style of Jiangnan was prevalent, civil servants also held great power in the court.
Readers will subconsciously raise their chins high and disdain the gruff soldiers.
But in the final analysis, they all know that these soldiers have fought back with their long swords and their lives to live a stable life now!
Even if some people feel disdainful, they dare not show it.
After all, that conscription was a lesson learned from the past. Maybe they would be thrown into the dock barracks the next moment before they could laugh at them!
Orange Mrs. Li and others were worried about home and rushed back from Cyclamen early.
Then he joined the busy team while talking about how exciting it would be for the emperor to welcome the Northern Expedition in person.
By the time the sun reaches the top of the head, the whole new village and the second village have been filled with the aroma of food.
It was rare for the naughty boys to not go out and run around, waiting for their meal.
Even the miracle doctor Zhang came out of his yard, changed into a rare pair of clean clothes, and was waiting to drink a celebratory drink with him.
Waiting until the sun turned slightly to the west, finally news came from the boys from the second village.
“Come back! Come back!”
“The Marquis is back!”
“The Fourth Master is back too, with a lot of soldiers!”
Everyone hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard, where dust and smoke were already billowing in the distance.
The Marquis was wearing a black bearskin cloak embroidered with gold thread. He was followed by Li Laosi, who was also covered in armor and wore a red cloak.
The two of them are dignified and noble, while the other is tall and brave.
Following behind him were five hundred cavalrymen, like heroes flying in the clouds and mist, crashing in from the sky.
Everyone couldn't help shouting excitedly. “Master Hou, Master Hou!”
“Four masters, fourth masters!”
The naughty boys even jumped and shouted and looked around. For a while, there was only the joy and bustle of reunion in and outside the village.
When he was still a few feet away from the door, Li Laosi jumped off the horse, quickly ran to his mother, and fell to his knees.
“Mom, the unfilial son is back!”
Mrs. Li's eyes were red and she tried her best to hold back her tears. She hugged her son and patted his back, "What do you mean by an unfilial son? My mother's son is the best in the world.
“You fought for the country, and my mother is proud of you!”
Li Laosi looked at his mother's gray temples and was choked with sobs that he could not speak.
At this time, Mr. Hou also dismounted and walked over, bending down to salute Mrs. Li, "Auntie, we are back!"
“It’ll be good to come back, it’ll be good to come back!” Mrs. Li helped her son up and looked at Mr. Hou up and down. She was completely relieved when there was really no injury.
"Dad, foster father!" Jiayin couldn't help but jump out and said happily: "You guys just entered the city so majestic that it made me want to join the army and become a female general!"
Jiayin is now a grown-up girl, so she can no longer hug her father and adoptive father casually, but she can still hold their arms and talk and laugh a few words.
Mr. Hou and Mr. Li saw the daughter they had been thinking about for more than half a year. She was now wearing a bright red brocade coat and a snow silk skirt. Her palm-sized white face was smiling like a flower. She was even more beautiful and lively than when she left. .
They were also happy, rarely smiling.
The iron and blood all over the body are cold and hard, like winter snow melting instantly when encountering the warm sun...
For a moment, everyone gathered around Mr. Hou and Li Laosi and walked inside.
The village chief, Uncle Zhao and others also called to the five hundred cavalry and quickly dismounted to rest.
The horses were led away, fed with fodder and watered.
The soldiers were sent to the courtyards of the Li family, Ye family and Wen family.
Linoleum sheds were erected in the three yards to protect them from the wind and snow.
At this moment, the shed was filled with tables and chairs, and there was an iron bucket burning wood in the corner of the yard for warmth.
The young men brought basins of hot water and asked the soldiers to wash their hands and faces briefly, and then everyone sat down at the table.
Lamb stewed with radish, chicken stewed with mushrooms and potatoes, butchered vegetables, etc., are all served hot in large pottery pots to the table, as well as large baskets of Thousand Layer Sesame Pancakes!
The soldiers had experienced dangers and fighting for more than half a year, and they were covered with dust from the battle, which gradually dissipated in the aroma of the food.
The village chief, Uncle Zhao, Liu Biaotou and others greeted the soldiers.
The village chief waved his pipe and pot and said excitedly, "Brothers, eat with ease!
“Today I killed six big fat pigs, not to mention those sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and big carp.
“Don’t worry about making your family poor, our family is rich!
“You are fighting outside and keeping your home safe. It is your duty to cook something delicious for you at home. Don’t be polite!
“Hurry up and eat, pour the wine, pour the wine!”
"Yeah, you're welcome. You'll be home when you arrive at Broken Gold Beach!" Uncle Zhao personally took the wine jar and poured wine for the soldiers. "After a while, we'll have a full meal, and then go to the hot spring valley to take a good bath. Over there today It's closed, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and wash your clothes.
"After washing, then take a long nap on the hot bed. No matter how tired you are, you will be relieved by most of it!"
The soldiers thanked him one after another.
“Thank you, uncle!”
“Thank you, bro!”
“It’s better to go home!”
At this time, Brother Cat came to invite people, "Grandpa, the village chief, the Marquis and my fourth uncle are all waiting for you to come over and have a drink!"
