Chapter 64

 Chapter 64

  Returning Home Late at Night Old Madam Cheng walked into the yard with Yu An by the hand, expressionless.

The people behind him looked at each other and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

It seems that even someone like my mother-in-law (old lady), who has seen the world, cannot remain calm when encountering such a magical scene.

After storing all the corn in the warehouse, the few people only planted half of the field before dark.

Very tired, but very excited.

Especially when you see the freshly cooked, golden and juicy corn.

In fact, the system rewards one-click harvesting, and all the harvested crops are already processed.

Just like this corn and straw, they are already dry without any exposure to the sun.

The dozen or so cooked ones were picked out from those that the Cheng family had manually broken off, and they are all relatively tender.

"It has a special fragrance."

Tian Qin took a deep breath.

Old Madam Cheng first picked up one and bit off a few grains, chewed them carefully, and then nodded.

"Not bad, soft, sticky and sweet, but the core is inedible."

It's a bit of a pity.

But considering her appetite, this one is enough to fill her up, which is already very good.

Yu An waved two chopsticks, with half a corn stuck on each chopstick. He took a big bite, with some corn crumbs still in the corners of his mouth, and repeated the fairy sister's words incoherently.

"Dry it in the sun and use it as firewood!"

"Yes!"

Meng's eyes lit up when she heard this and she nodded in agreement immediately.

"Pick out all the corn kernels. They can be used as firewood in the winter. And I think the stalks and leaves can be used to feed horses and sheep. They are also good!"

Suddenly, Cheng Yu, who was standing at the door chewing corn, paused, turned his head to look outside the yard, and his body subconsciously tensed up.

"It's the sound of horse hooves!"

The expressions of several people in the main room became serious.

Who could it be at this late hour?

But the next moment, a familiar voice came in.

"Grandma, mother, aunt!"

"We're back!"

Old Madam Cheng and Wang stood up suddenly, and the corn in their hands fell onto the table, hitting the dishes with a ping-pong sound.

"Sheng Xuan?"

"Qiu Yun and Sheng Xuan are back!"

"grandmother!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Madam Cheng was extremely excited. Perhaps she was too excited, and suddenly her vision went dark. She staggered to the side and almost lost her balance.

Meng quickly supported her.

In the yard, knowing that the young general and the eldest lady had returned, Cheng Yu rushed out to open the door without waiting for instructions.

Outside the yard, Cheng Shengxuan jumped off the horse before the horse stopped.

Cheng Shengxuan and Cheng Qiuyun ran in quickly.

"Grandma, Shengxuan is back!"

Seeing his relatives in the house, especially his grandmother with a head full of silver hair and his mother who had aged many years in such a short time, Cheng Shengxuan felt a dull pain in his heart.

As soon as he entered the room, he fell to his knees, crawled to Old Madam Cheng's side, hugged her legs and cried.

"grandmother."

When Wang and Meng, who were standing by, saw him, they immediately burst into tears.

"Sheng Xuan!"

Cheng Shengxuan held their hands tightly.

"Mother, aunt."

Although Old Madam Cheng closed her eyes tightly, the redness in her eyes was hard to conceal, and the corners of her eyes were wet.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said in a deep voice.

"Why are you crying? We, the sons of the Cheng family, shed blood and sweat, but we cannot shed tears!"

"yes!"

Cheng Shengxuan raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes vigorously.

Old Madam Cheng looked at her two daughters-in-law.

"And you, it's a good thing that Shengxuan came back safely, don't cry!"

The two sisters-in-law wiped their tears and nodded in response.

"yes."

Yu An jumped down from the stool, ran to the door, and looked eagerly in the direction of the courtyard gate with an expectant look on his face.

After waiting for a long time, the little guy didn't see the person he wanted to see. He pouted, lowered his head, and his eyes were red.

Everyone naturally knew what he was looking at, and their eyes, which had just dried up with tears, became wet again in an instant.

[Sister Fairy, I miss my grandfather and father very much. ]

He didn't dare say this in front of his elders, because every time he mentioned his grandfather, father, great-uncle, and great-grandmother, they would be sad.

He didn't want to see his elders suffer.

Seeing the tearful face of the baby, Anlu felt distressed.

The baby is so well-behaved and sensible.

"Don't be sad, Yu'an."

The little guy sniffed.

[Well, Yu An knows that Grandfather and Father must be too busy and can't get away, so they didn't come back with Uncle.]

[When Yu An grows up, he will go to the battlefield with his uncle to find them! ]

He didn't believe those rumors!

Everyone said that his grandfather and his men died on the battlefield, but didn't his uncle come back safely?

So, my father and grandfather must be fine too!

Hearing this, An Luo opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He just reached out and gently rubbed the top of his head.

Cheng Shengxuan was helped up by Meng and Wang. Looking at the little guy clinging to the door, he walked over, squatted down and looked at Yu An.

"Come on, Yu'an, let your uncle hold you."

"Uncle."

Yu An stretched out his little arms and wrapped them around his neck, calling out in a baby voice.

Holding the soft little guy in his arms and looking at Yu An's similar eyebrows and eyes to his older brother, Cheng Shengxuan felt his eyes sore and his nose blocked.

Yu An stretched out her little hands to wipe his tears.

"Don't cry, little uncle. Are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?"

Cheng Shengxuan shook his head.

"Uncle, there's just sand in his eyes."

"Then Yu An will help you with the breathing."

As he spoke, the little guy held his face with both hands very seriously and blew air into his eyes.

Cheng Shengxuan raised his hand and rubbed Yu An's head.

"Yuan is amazing. Uncle is much better now."

This is the Cheng family's only hope.

Cheng Shengxuan gently touched Yu An's forehead with his forehead and swore secretly in his heart.

He must protect his grandmother and Yu'an, and take care of his uncle, brother, and father to protect the Cheng family!

Old Madam Cheng glanced at Tian Qin.

Tian Qin nodded in understanding, and walked forward to take Yu An from Cheng Shengxuan's arms.

"Yu'an, are you full? Mother will take you back to your room to wash up and go to bed, okay?"

After Tian Qin carried Yu An away, everyone looked at Cheng Shengxuan, waiting for him to tell them in person what happened on the battlefield that day.

Cheng Shengxuan wiped his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and talked about what happened that day.

"...My uncle and father suspected the person who delivered the military report, and even suspected that there was a traitor in the Cheng family army!"

"Until the end..."

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

"The generals of Southern Xinjiang personally admitted that it was Emperor Shunhe and the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang who secretly plotted to put our Pingnan Marquis Mansion to death!"

The two sisters-in-law, Meng and Wang, held each other's hands tightly and shed tears silently.

Especially when he heard Cheng Shengxuan talking about how Cheng Sitao took the two brothers Cheng Song and Cheng He to jump off the cliff, he burst into tears.

Tian Qin, who had just coaxed Yu An to sleep and walked to the door of the main room, suddenly collapsed beside the door, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Cheng Shengxuan's eyes were red and filled with murderous intent.

"Grandma, we must avenge our uncle, father, and brother!"

Madam Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Of course, one day, the Cheng family will seek justice for themselves!"
