I will have He Mamama teach us well so that we can learn proper etiquette.”After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jia Yin heard the news and rushed back from next door. She threw herself into the Marqu...The old woman complained, “These people are really strange. They want to drink and eat at the city restaurant, why gather in our valley”

Li Laoer ladled vegetables for Mao'er, and said, "Mother, I also find it strange. After we get through these busy days, I'll go to the city for a stroll and see if there's something we don't know about."

"Alright, don't overwork yourself either. If you see Mr. Wen, ask him to find another gentleman for you. Otherwise, burning the candle at both ends will wear you out."

Grandma Li instructed her son, "Eat while you chat, it'll be more pleasant."

Jiayin felt sorry for her mother and stayed with her to sleep at night.

Although her husband was not by her side, Tao Hongying felt much better with her daughter keeping her company and playing around.

The two of them bathed together, brushed each other's hair, and huddled under the covers telling mythological stories.

When sleeping, heads touching heads, dreams are filled with sweetness and happiness.

In the dead of night, Dongmei came and quietly knocked on the window sill. Jia Yin tiptoed out and leaned on Dongmei's back, quickly leaving the village...

Right now, at the military camp just outside the city walls, Li Lao Si and his squad, including Li Yong, are on night watch.

Everyone walked back and forth through every corner of the camp, and when they could finally rest for a while, they gathered around the bonfire, roasting their feet and chatting idly.

Even on a spring night, the chill remained. As I spoke, a faint wisp of white breath lingered in the air.

Someone mentioned home, and a man spoke in a gruff voice, "In a few days we'll be crossing the river. When I've killed a few more barbarians and earned military honors and rewards, I'll go home to marry Xiaocui."

Xiaocui is the girl he's betrothed to. It's said that she's big and strong, quite a tough one. But in his description, she's a gentle and shy little woman, which makes everyone tease him now and then.

But Li Yong said, “Good! Wei Daniu, when you return home to build a new house, be sure to call me. I’m best at building houses. I’ll guarantee that I’ll build the most beautiful yard for you, so you can marry your wife in style!”

Wei Dayou burst into laughter, his fist the size of a teacup landing lightly on Li Yong's shoulder. "Good brother, you have real loyalty!"

Li Yong was pushed so hard he almost fell backward, but Li Laosi helped him up.

Wei Dayu scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "Oh dear, I forgot to hold back my strength again. Li Yong, you should eat more. You're as thin as a little chick."

Everyone grinned and jeered, "You idiot! Are your two eyes for decoration Didn't Li Yong eat just as much as all of us at every meal!"

"Really How would I know" Wei Daniu shrugged. "My mother always says that being able to eat is a blessing."

Everyone helplessly said, "Your mother is right, your silly appearance is a blessing! Didn't you notice that Li Yong has been practicing sword swings in his dreams We are all afraid of being chopped and hide far away. Only you and Lao Si Li are willing to sleep next to him!"

"Is that so" Wei Daniu said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I have thick skin, I'm not afraid of this."

Everyone was furious, spitting blood. Was he showing off how tough he was

At this time, Jiang Cheng walked over, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet him.

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and smiled at Li Laosi and Li Yong, "The Marquis has a few letters that have arrived at the village. You guys take a quick trip to get them back and report back before dinner tomorrow."

"Yes!" Li Laosi and Li Yong quickly replied, then took their weapons and went to get their horses.

Before leaving, seeing their brothers' expectant eyes, they laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll bring you some delicious food when we come back."

"Haha, that's about right, I was waiting for you to say that."

"That's right, that's right. Didn't Li Si say that his sister-in-law cooks delicious food We should try it!"

"Yes, yes!"

After finally getting rid of these gluttonous brothers, Li Lao Si and Li Yong hopped on their horses and galloped towards Suijin Beach.

None of the bystanders knew, but they knew all too well.

The Lord wasn't asking them to retrieve letters, he was making an excuse for them to go home before crossing the river.

Especially Li Yong, he's practically eager to get back home.

His pregnant wife was alone in the manor. Though she knew the Li family would certainly help take care of her, she still worried greatly.

The two of them galloped all the way, and by the time they reached the manor, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

The early village headman, with a few villagers smiling broadly, was turning from the mountain path. On his wooden hand plow, he carried a half-dead fat pig.

When they saw Li Laosì and Li Yong come back, they were even happier.

"Goodness gracious, Fourth Brother! Er… no, Big Courage! How did you both return! This is wonderful news! The Lord's manor sent over quite a few white pigs last night. One, it seems, was injured and didn't survive. Today our village will be slaughtering the pig for a feast!"

The village head grabbed Li Laosi and Li Yong by one arm each, "You two are really living the good life!"

Li Laosì and Li Yong were also happy and went into the village with everyone else.

A fat pig was put in front of Li's house, squealing from time to time, attracting both young and old from the village to come and watch the commotion. Some children even rubbed their sleepy eyes and ran over barefoot, one shoe at a time.

Heard that they're slaughtering a pig for meat again, everyone is saying it's a pity the fat pig died but can't help drooling.

While Li Laosi and Li Yong had already entered the courtyard, the Li family was suddenly overjoyed to see them return.

Mrs. Li looked her son up and down, secretly wiping away tears.

Tao Hongying was too embarrassed to care, she pulled her husband's arm.

The little boys swarmed around Fourth Uncle, bombarding him with questions and hopping around excitedly.

It was good news, last night I snuck out for a while and went back home and fell asleep right away. By the time I finally fell asleep, it was almost dawn.

She was sound asleep, completely unaware that her momentary craving had inadvertently improved her father's life.

Li Yong looked around, but he couldn't see Hui Niang anywhere. He started to get worried.

"Auntie, where's Huilan How is she and the child"

Li Laotai only then remembered she had forgotten him and hurriedly said, “Hui Niang moved to the back village to live with the elder couple. She lives alone in a house now and is very happy. You go see her quickly, she'll be over for dinner soon!”

"Okay!" Li Yong responded, then dashed off.

Li LaoTai pushed her son back into the room, letting him and his wife have a private conversation, then she left.

As soon as she saw the half-dead fat pig at the doorstep and heard there were another ten or so in the sty, she understood everything. It must have been her granddaughter secretly doing something again!

She quickly said, "I was still thinking about when these pigs would arrive. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The pigpen was just built, and they arrived. Just in time, the fourth son and Li Yong are back. Let's hurry up and clean this pig. We can have a feast and make some food for the fourth son and Li Yong to take back to the lord."

"Well, that's only right." The villagers all responded with smiles.

Also someone asked, "When will Lao Si and the others go back"

The old woman sighed, “After lunch I have to leave, and get back to the pier before dinner.”

"So hurried I thought they could stay overnight!"

"Being in the army is not as comfortable as being at home."

“That’s certainly true, the army has strict rules.”

People were busy slaughtering pigs and dividing the meat, chatting and laughing merrily.

Horse-drawn carriages carrying guests to and from the hot springs passed through the village, and of course he saw them.

Thus, before the sun had reached its zenith, Lady Liu returned from the valley with a grim expression on her face.

Here are three chapters for you~ Wishing all my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival!d you'd have killed her with your words!"Tao Hongying sighed, taking Liu's hand and saying, "Sister-in-law, I used to always feel that I came from a low background, hadn't read much, and didn't know t...
