Chapter 193: Uncle and aunt, do you mind having more daughters-in-law?
"Could there be bandits, old man? Go check the gate to see if it is closed tightly. Our house is too conspicuous. If the bandits enter the village, they may target our house." Their big blue brick and tile house was so beautiful, and Qing Nian also left a lot of money for the purchase of beans. Liu Shuyue couldn't help but feel worried.
"You stay at home, I'll go out and take a look." Lu Mingchuan looked solemn.
The sound of horse hooves was heard outside Lu Minghai's house. With a "whoosh", the horse stopped steadily and the person on the horse jumped off.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Mom and Dad! I'm back!"
When Lu Minghai went out, he recognized his son's voice, staggered and almost fell, but Lu Shuangshuang supported him in time.
"Daqing! It's really you! Good boy, you're finally back!" Looking at his eldest son who was darker but much stronger in front of him, Lu Minghai's eyes were filled with tears.
"Dad! It's me, I'm back!" In the moonlight, I could clearly see my father and sister coming to open the door.
"Brother!" Lu Shuangshuang was also very excited to see her brother.
"Shuangshuang, you've grown up. I almost can't recognize you!" Lu Daqing touched her head.
"Let's go home and talk about it."
Lu Minghai let his son into the yard.
The village chief and his men also rushed over at this time. Seeing that it was Lu Daqing, they were excited and asked, "Daqing, why are you back?"
"Village Chief, I'll be back when the war is over!"
"Why are you the only one from the Lu family?" the villagers couldn't help but ask.
"I came back on horseback, one step faster than others. The others are on their way back!" Then a tall horse was seen parked next to Lu Daqing.
"Is the war really over? That means my husband will be back soon!" The villagers were a little unconvinced and confirmed again.
"Really! They have all left the battlefield and are on their way back!" The villagers were immediately excited when they heard Lu Daqing's affirmative answer.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" The village chief patted Lu Daqing's strong shoulders.
The village was brightly lit all night long as everyone was preparing to welcome their families back. Lu Minghai's house was bustling with waves of villagers coming to inquire about the news.
It was almost dawn when the villagers began to leave and go home one after another.
Lu Mingchuan waited until everyone had left before he walked into his eldest brother's house tremblingly.
"Daqing! Where is my Huaijin? Why didn't she come back with you?"
"Uncle! Don't worry, Huaijin is fine. He was delayed by some things and will be back soon." Lu Daqing said carelessly. It was all because of that eldest lady, otherwise he would have come back a long time ago.
"Come on, go into the house and I will tell you slowly. Dad, help me feed the horses." He had been traveling for such a long time that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He drank two large bowls of water in a row before he recovered.
Liu Shuyue waited at home for half a night but did not see Lu Mingchuan come back, so she went out to look for him at dawn. The villagers said that the battle was over and Lu Daqing came back first. Upon hearing this news, she did not care about anything else and ran to Lu Minghai's house.
"Uncle and aunt, just relax! Huaijin is fine! He was supposed to come back with me, but something happened on the way, so I came back first."
Lu Daqing looked behind them and it seemed that someone was missing. Why didn't he see Huai Jin's wife? If others heard that their husband was back, shouldn't they have come to inquire about the news? Did she run away?
After all, they have only been married for two days, and it is normal that he has not come back for so many years.
"Okay, that's good, that's good!" Liu Shuyue was so happy that she was at a loss.
"Uncle, do you mind having more daughters-in-law?"
Liu Shuyue's heart, which had just calmed down, started beating again: "Daqing, what do you mean? Could it be that Huaijin has another woman outside?"
"Old lady, our Huaijin is a sensible person and won't do anything rash. Daqing, please explain clearly."
"Yes, Huaijin is married, and we only recognize Qingnian."
"Huai Jin's wife is still here...why didn't she come with you?" It turned out that his wife didn't run away. This was a difficult situation, because that woman was the daughter of her boss.
"She went out for something and hasn't come back yet."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Lu Daqing touched his nose guiltily.
"If he dares to bring another woman back, I'm sorry, Qingnian, I'll be the first one to break his legs!" Liu Shuyue slammed the table and stood up.
Brother...you'd better take care of yourself, Lu Daqing prayed silently for Lu Huaijin in his heart.
Actually, it’s not his fault. It was the girl who liked him.
For ordinary people who were helpless on the battlefield, life and death were determined by God. The people in the village went together, but they were separated when they arrived at the battlefield. No one knew whether they were dead or alive. The brothers Lu Daqing and Lu Huaijin escaped death several times and saved the old general by chance.
Because of his life-saving grace, the old general promoted him to his camp as a handyman, although he was still an ordinary soldier. But relying on this relationship, Lu Huaijin no longer had to charge into battle like an ordinary soldier, and he also used his own connections to get Lu Daqing to his side.
Lu Huaijin himself often went up the mountain to hunt in the village. He practiced martial arts, knew how to read and write, and was smart and clever. After having more contact with the old general, he won the old general's favor. The old general found that he was a promising talent, so he personally taught him in his spare time.
After two years of getting along and learning, Lu Huaijin's abilities gradually emerged. Talent was already scarce in the army, and the old general was a man who valued talent. He promoted him step by step, and finally made him a captain under his command and accepted him as his apprentice.
Lu Daqing followed Lu Huaijin to practice martial arts and calligraphy in the army. Although he had no talent in studying, he had a high talent in martial arts. The two brothers were noticed by the old general and entrusted with important tasks. They made many military achievements and became famous in the barracks.
As for the girl, she was the only daughter of the old general. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child. When she heard that her father was going to the battlefield, she followed him secretly. By the time the old general found out, it was too late, so he had to keep her with him.
No one knew that she was a woman dressed as a man. Her daily behavior was no different from that of a man. The Lu brothers had a lot of contact with her and felt that apart from her bad temper and being difficult to get along with, they didn't notice anything else about her.
Until one night when the weather was unusually hot, the two brothers went to the river to take a bath and came across the eldest lady drowning. Lu Huaijin jumped into the water to rescue her without saying a word. Only then did they discover that she was actually a girl, the daughter of an old general.
It is against military discipline for a woman to go to the battlefield, but she is the daughter of an old general, so she must keep it a secret no matter what. The eldest lady whose identity was discovered saw that Lu Huaijin not only did not threaten her, but also saved her without hesitation. From then on, she fell in love with Lu Huaijin at first sight...
