Chapter 181 A Warm Look
The next morning, Wu Dalang and Wu Yu came to the village chief's house as their father had ordered. The village chief was overjoyed to see them return, and he held their hands tightly, filled with emotion.
When the villagers heard that the two sons of the Wu family had returned, they flocked to the village chief's house. Some of them were curious, some were concerned, and some were there to inquire about the situation of their relatives who had not returned.
Wu Dalang stood in the crowd, calmly explaining the two brothers' experiences at the frontier and why only the two of them returned first.
He understood that the villagers were eager to know about their children's situation in the border areas: "My dear uncles and aunts, my two brothers followed General Chu back to Beijing to report. All the soldiers who followed the Chu family army are still stationed in the border areas to protect the peace of the country."
After hearing this, the villagers felt proud but also worried about the children who had not yet returned.
But seeing that Wu’s eldest son, Dalang, and second son have returned, does that mean the day when his own children will return is not far away?
Village Chief Wu looked at Wu Tong meaningfully and said, "Zi'an, Dalang and Erlang have a bright future ahead of them. They are the pride of the Wu family and the glory of Shilibao. You must protect this honor!"
Wu Tong's face was full of smiles, as if every strand of his hair was filled with joy: "Yes, yes, the village chief is right, I will definitely protect the honor of our Shilibao"
Looking at his two handsome sons, he felt very relieved that his hard days were finally over.
But now there is a more important thing, that is to drive Xia out of the Wu family, humph! How can a country girl be worthy of Erlang?
It was already late autumn, and it seemed as if the heavens were congratulating the return of the Wu family's eldest and second sons. The weather was extremely warm, and the village chief's house was filled with villagers.
Wu Yu stood next to Wu Tong and the village chief, and always felt that someone was staring at him closely. He looked in the direction of the gaze and saw a young girl in the crowd staring at him.
The girl had a pretty face, her eyes full of shyness and expectation. Wu Yu searched his memory and finally had a vague impression that it was Li Xiaocui from the same village.
I remember that she often came to see Qing'er and took Qing'er to dig wild vegetables.
He smiled at her and nodded.
Wu Yu's action also made Li Xiaocui firm in his belief that he must have her in his heart. Between her and that fool, anyone would choose her.
Although the fool is no longer stupid now, who can guarantee that he will not become stupid again in the future?
Her face suddenly turned red. The brother Yu she had been thinking about was more handsome than before. She, Xiao Cui, wanted to marry a man like him.
Li Xiaocui was the most beautiful girl in Shilibao Village. She could not just marry a farmer. Even if the threshold of her house was about to be trampled down, she would never give in.
After bidding farewell to the village chief and fellow villagers, Wu Dalang and Wu Yu went to visit their second uncle Wu Li. When their second uncle saw them, tears flashed in his eyes, as if he saw their childhood appearance.
Wu Yu noticed that there was a young woman beside his second uncle, his concubine Xiaoli. She was gentle and kind, and was polite and enthusiastic to the two of them.
The two brothers ignored Xiaoli and kowtowed to Wu Li and Fang.
Fang's condition was getting worse and worse, but when she saw her two nephews coming back and looking more and more handsome, and heard the villagers outside praising the two brothers, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Well, you brothers have made great progress again." After saying that, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. The more she looked at them, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she simply stopped looking.
