Chapter 553: A Flower Stuck in Cow Dung!

and in a hurry."What's wrong Did you sleep poorly Your eyes are dark."Zhao Yuru casually asked a question, Tao Hongying didn't want to lie to her sister-in-law, and because her mother-in-law had orde..."It must be my father who has returned, along with my stepfather and Big Yong Uncle!" Jia Yin was overjoyed and ran out to the village entrance, followed by a bouncing little fox.

"Funiu'er, come back, be careful not to be stepped on by the horse!"

Grandma Li called out for her granddaughter, but she couldn't hold her back at all.

As expected, the horse team got closer and closer as they ran, and it became clearer to see them.

A dozen or so, covered in dust and grime, led by Li Laosi.

As he rode closer, he slowed his horse to a walk and then laughed as he bent down to lift his daughter onto the front of the horse.

The little fox was also quick-eyed and quick-footed, grabbing Jia Yin's skirt and hopping onto the horse's back. Then it crouched on the horse's head.

It stared with two black beady eyes, clearly terrified out of its wits, its claws unable to loosen even an inch. Yet, its fox face was full of excitement.

This cowardly yet playful look made everyone at the entrance of Li's house laugh.

"Mother, I'm back!" Li Lao Si called out loudly to his mother, then jumped down from his horse, placed his daughter safely, and knelt down to kowtow.

"Get up, get up!" Li Lao Tai's heart, which had been hanging high for days, finally settled. With great effort, she held back her tears and touched her son's arms and legs all over before saying with relief, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Tao Hongying turned around and wiped a tear from her eye before turning back, her eyes red as she glared at her husband. "You went out and couldn't even catch a glimpse of him! He doesn't even bother to send us a message!"

Li Laosì unconsciously scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Jiangbei is full of rough people everywhere, it's not convenient to send letters."

The Li family was used to his appearance, but the soldiers following him had never seen it before.

The god of war on the battlefield, a natural powerhouse, even barbarians were terrified when they saw him. Unexpectedly, he was a scaredy-cat at home, afraid of his wife! The contrast was too great!

Someone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lao Si Li turned around and, seeing this, laughed and scolded: "Wei Daniu, you dare to make fun of me You just wait! After you get married, see if you're not afraid of Xiao Cuier!"

The burly man he named laughed heartily, “I'm not afraid of anything! My little Cui is so gentle.”

Li Laotai knew these were all brothers who had been through thick and thin with her son. She quickly asked, "Lao Si ah, where is the Hou Ye Where is Da Yong"

"Don't worry, Mother. Lord Hou and Da Yong are doing well. Lord Hou went to Xin Du, and Da Yong is worried about him so he went with him. They will be back tomorrow." Li Laosi quickly replied.

"Good, good!"

Li Laotai hurriedly called Shuiling to the backyard to report to Huiniang, so she wouldn't worry.

He was making arrangements to have his son take these soldiers to the neighboring Marquis's courtyard to wash off the dust of war, but there weren't enough clean clothes at home for them to change into...

But that's not a big deal. The village head and Liu Biǎo (head of the escort team) who arrived later helped resolve it with just a few words. Every man in the village brought a set of clothes to help!

It has to be said, the people of Xincun hold great respect and affection for the Marquis and these valiant heroes.

When the women heard that the men were going to need clothes, they not only brought clean trousers and shirts but also new undergarments and even new shoes and socks.

They also instructed the men to bring back their dirty uniforms, shoes and socks. They quickly washed them, and they could dry overnight.

Tao Hongying even called Grandma He, Shuicun and Shuiling over, urgently preparing food.

Wenjuan also wanted to help, but was driven back by Li Laotai.

At this point, she didn't even have time to stew meat. Tao Hongying decided to just use the dried noodles from home. She opened a jar of meat sauce and chopped up cucumber shreds, cilantro, and scallions to make fried noodle sauce with them.

One person prepared three large bowls of food.

Tao Hongying, afraid it wasn't enough to eat, scooped another half basin of fine noodles. She added eggs, chopped scallions, pepper and salt, mixing them into a batter. Then she cooked a large stack of omelets right away.

The soldiers, washed and smelling fresh in their clean clothes and socks, slurped up their bowls of noodles eagerly.

That omelet was as big as a plate, I rolled it up and ate it in two bites...

Finally, don't say the cakes were all eaten, the meat sauce is gone, and even the noodle soup was finished!

If not, the soldiers would all be belching, holding their stomachs and strolling around the courtyard. Tao Hongying even suspected that there wasn't enough food.

Jiayin sat on her father-in-law's shoulders, giggling as she listened to him boast to his brothers, "Well, how is it Is my daughter-in-law a good cook Humph, I told you all many times, but you didn't believe me. Now do you believe it"

The soldiers all envied and jealously scoffed. Wei Daniu, taking the lead, boisterously laughed and said, "Of course we believe! It's just a pity that such a beautiful flower like Sister-in-law ended up stuck in manure!"

"Kid, you're asking for it!" Li Lao Si chased after Wei Daniu, the two running all over the yard.

Jiāyīn, afraid of falling down, held onto her father's hair bun and giggled along.

The little fox didn't understand what was happening, but it was good at joining in the fun. It jumped up and down, getting tired and panting.

The soldiers discovered that the little fox had three tails, guessing that it was the one the Marquis had personally hunted on the mountain, and they also played with it for a while.

Lao Li sat under the eaves, listening to the laughter and commotion from the neighboring courtyard. She was so happy that her mouth couldn't close.

When her children were young, life was tough. She truly wished they would grow up in an instant to support the family and help her keep the Li family afloat.

Now that her sons have started their own families and businesses, and even her grandchildren are off to school, she finds the house eerily empty.

The vast courtyard was incredibly quiet, with only her, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter present.

Now that my son is back, things are going to be lively for a while.

Soon, the large kang in Ye Jiaxiang's room was warmed up. Li Lao Si settled his brothers to rest and then carried his daughter back to their own courtyard.

Prior to this, Jia Yin had already prepared "A Pot of Home-Cooked Dishes" for the occasion. Tao Hongying also added several more dishes at the last minute, keeping Village Head and Liu Biatou together for a meal.

To avoid misunderstanding, Old Madam Li personally told them that these corn and potatoes came from Zhengjiazhuang.

The village head, upon hearing this, waved his hands frantically and said, "Elder Madam, the entire Shatang is Fu Niuer's domain. She can eat whatever she wants, this is only right! No one in the village will dare to say another word!"

"That won't do. We agreed from the start that everyone would invest, work together, and share the harvest. We can't break our promise just because Fu Niu er became a county princess," Li Lao Tai insisted.

She went on to say, "Besides, the people in Zhengjiazhuang are just as hardworking. Our village has everything they have, and they often send carts and carts of things here. How big is Funiu's belly anyway She can't even finish eating it all."

Jia Yin also stood up, smiling and handing the village head half a stick of cooked corn. “Village Head Grandpa, you try this, it’s delicious to gnaw on.”

"Good, good!" The village head carefully took the corn, a bit excited. "I'm so lucky! Tianwu is something that countless people haven't even tasted before, and I'm actually going to eat it…"

Everyone burst into laughter and immediately started dividing the remaining cooked corn.

At this time of year, the corn kernels haven't fully set and are at their most tender.

These ten or so stalks of bamboo were grown in Jia Yin Space. Their quality is far superior to ordinary bamboo. They are sweet, soft, chewy, and fragrant, leaving everyone surprised and delighted.

"Hmm, this corn tastes so good when cooked!"

"Yeah, I thought it would be like sorghum, rubbing down the particles to make flour."

"You can also grind it into powder, but fresh is really good."

"This is good stuff, even the elderly and children can eat it!"rd, pulled the screaming general away, and dragged him down.For a moment, the pier fell silent. All the soldiers, especially the men from the Dingbei Army who had just witnessed their comrades' deaths...
