Su Hua sweated. “Brother, it’s just a joke—why don’t we forget it?”
Su Chong said righteously, “No, a man has to keep his word. How can I let it go?
Hehe, I don’t feel lonely with you by my side.”
Su Hua stroked his beard and sighed.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.
It had been a long time since they had seen such a scene. Su Xiaolu had not come home for so many years. Every year, the joy of the new year was mixed with worry. This year, they were relieved, so their hearts were filled with joy.
“Father, shave, shave…”
Su Yang had already run to Su Hua’s side and was hugging him as he shouted excitedly.
Su Hua smiled helplessly and shook his head. He reached out and picked up Su Yang. “Alright, Father and your uncle will do it. A man’s words carry weight.”
“Okay—I’
Su Yang clapped happily.
Su Shiyu and his brothers also looked at Su Chong expectantly. Su Shiyu looked eager to try. He said, “Father, let me help you remove your beard.”
Su Chong stroked Su Shiyu’s head and nodded. “Alright.’
His son was already a half-grown boy. The young man was also calm and responsible.
“Master, Master Gui You, you’re here. Where’s Junior Brother Xiao Niu? When will he come?”
Su Xiaolu ran to the two Masters and held them in each hand. She asked with concern.
“Little Niu will be back on New Year’s Eve.”
Old Wu replied.
The lunch was already very sumptuous. With so many people gathered together, there were several tables full.
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but laugh.
The children looked at Su Xiaolu. “Aunt, what are you laughing at?”
Su Kuo was also very curious. Su Xiaolu suddenly smiled. She must have thought of something happy.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “I’m happy to see more people in my family. Knocking on the door and eating a meal is like a banquet for others.”
Everyone laughed at Su Xiaolu’s words.
That’s right. There were many people. Sitting down at a few separate tables was like holding a banquet.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, Chen Hu, and Madam Qian were the most emotional.
Decades ago, when they got married, there were not so many people at the wedding banquet.
Time passed and things were different now.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They understood. Many emotions were in their hearts and there was no need to speak.
After lunch, Su Xiaolu brought the children to buy firecrackers.
Su Xiaolu walked in front and Su Kuo walked side by side.
Chen Shi, Chen Xing, Su Shiyu, and the others followed behind.
Su Xiaolu kept smiling. She felt like she had returned to when she was a girl. She was the leader of the children.
There was a string of them behind the door.
At her age, almost all the girls were already married and had children.
She did not. She would always be a young lady. As long as she did not get married, she would always be the king of children.
Su Xiaolu was overjoyed to think that she could take care of her brothers’ children now and her nephews’ children in the future.
Moreover, there were really many children who wanted to play with her now. There were only five children in her family, the two cousins of the Qi family, and even Chu Jin’s children admired her.
It couldn’t be helped. Su Xiaolu’s sword techniques and martial arts were too good.
On New Year’s Eve, under the cover of the snow, the capital was extremely beautiful.
Gui You woke Su Xiaolu up early in the morning to practice her swordsmanship.
It was early, but the entire family was up again, all of them in high spirits, waiting to see.
The Chen family came over in unison. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu, who had returned, brought their children along. The children also watched expectantly.
Their eyes lit up, and their mouths formed an ‘o’ as they kept exclaiming.
Gui You was also a sword fanatic. The master and disciple exchanged blows and were actually on par. There was a deep admiration in Gui You’s eyes. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “The sword intent follows the heart and the sword technique is born in the heart. To have such a disciple in my life, I have no regrets in death.”
Old Wu said proudly, “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to get such a disciple.”
Gui You bowed to Old Wu in all seriousness and said, “Thank you, Brother.”
Old Wu coughed lightly. Gui You’s sudden change made him uncomfortable.
Su Xiaolu smiled happily. After receiving such an evaluation from Master Gui You, Su Xiaolu knew that she had a deep understanding of the way of the sword.
The food was fragrant, and her family were all around her.
Just as they were about to eat, Little Niu arrived.
Seeing Little Niu, Su Xiaolu was shocked. She walked to Little Niu’s side and circled him a few times. She still asked in disbelief, “Junior Brother Niu, is it really you?”
Little Niu was a little embarrassed. He nodded. “Senior Sister, it’s me.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the burly Little Niu in disbelief. “Why are you so buff?”
Little Niu replied shyly, “After unlocking my life, I slowly grew into this.”
Little Niu didn’t know why he had grown so burly. He was clearly very thin before he got his life back.
However, at that time, perhaps because he was carrying someone else’s life, he could not gain weight.
In the new twelve years, he had also completely changed his life back as he had wished. Then, slowly, he became more and more burly. Perhaps it should not be said that he had changed a lot. It should be said that he had always been like this. He had only returned to the right path of his life twenty years late.
His eyes had healed, too. The only thing missing was his arm.
Su Xiaolu knew that Little Niu’s arm would not grow back. That was the price he had to pay for completely severing that bloodline.
Su Xiaolu patted Little Niu’s shoulder. After accepting the initial shock, Su Xiaolu felt gratified like an old mother. She kept nodding. “Not bad, not bad.
That’s great.”
Being burly meant that he was strong and healthy. It was great that her Junior Brother was like this now.
Now that everyone she cared about was here, they celebrated the new year together.
Night fell.
There were many firecrackers in the capital.
Su Xiaolu brought Su Kuo, Little Niu, and the children out.
They shopped and set up lanterns.
Everyone was smiling and festive.
Little Niu looked a little clumsy, but he didn’t let go of the lantern.
It was Su Kuo’s first time releasing it, so he didn’t know how to.
Su Xiaolu was very happy. She taught them how to write down their wishes, then set off the lamps.
The moat was very calm. On the surface of the river, there were many flashing lanterns. They were very beautiful.
This year of reunion passed slowly.
Su Xiaolu was smiling even when she slept.
After the new year, the lives of the citizens returned to calm.
Su Xiaolu told her two Masters about the Mystic Sect set up by the royal family. She decided to join. This way, she could spend more time by her parents’ side because the Mystic Sect would not be too far from the capital.
However, Su Xiaolu had yet to tell Zhou Heng her decision. She asked the two Masters first.
Gui You pondered for a moment and said, “In this world, there is indeed a need. It’s a good thing to serve the people and gain merit. Your Master and I are used to being casual. I’m afraid we can’t stand the restrictions, but we can still be registered. If the royal family doesn’t mind, we can come back occasionally to teach. ”
He and Old Wu were still used to being free. They had explored too little of this world and could not stop. They could only teach occasionally because they would never stop exploring..
