Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 196 What, I have a son?

After Lu Huaijin sent Jiang Jingyi to the person who came to pick her up, he rode back home as fast as he could.

During these years outside, he has always been worried about his parents at home. No matter what, he cannot bring his master's daughter back. Although the woman at home is not someone he is willing to marry, he cannot bring a woman back to humiliate her. Besides, he has no feelings for Jiang Jingyi.

When he rushed back to the village, he saw a few villagers he knew, but he didn't even bother to say hello to them and went home first.

"Is that Lu Mingchuan's?"

"It looks like it."

"Both the Lu family members came back on horseback. It seems that they did well on the battlefield. The Lu family is very proud of their marriage to a daughter-in-law as powerful as Yao Qingnian. Now the two boys are back too..."

"I'm so envious of the Lu family's prosperity..."

Only rich people can afford horses. Ordinary people don’t have the money to buy them. Not to mention other things, there are only three or four families in the village who have cattle and sheep.

When Lu Huaijin arrived at his doorstep, he was stunned. Could it be that he hadn't been home for several years and had misremembered the location of his home? Impossible...

But how could this grand blue brick and tile house be built in his house? And the yard next door, which he remembered belonged to Widow Wang, was also demolished and rebuilt, and it looked like it was already completed, with people coming in and out and carrying some wood.

Lu Huaijin's heart sank. The houses in the village would not be demolished unless they were so dilapidated that they were uninhabitable. And even if they were demolished, it would be impossible for his parents to rebuild a large brick and tile house with their financial resources.

At this moment, Lu Mingchuan just came back from outside. Seeing the familiar figure, his hands trembled and beans fell to the ground: "Huai Jin, is that you?"

"Dad! I'm back!" Lu Huaijin turned over and dismounted from the horse, landed steadily on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Mingchuan.

"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! Let's go home, your mother is at home!" Lu Mingchuan patted his son's shoulder. After not seeing him for so many years, he has become more mature and steady.

"Dad, where did our family move to?"

"They haven't moved yet, they're right here!" Lu Mingchuan walked to the gate of the courtyard and pushed it open. He stood at the door, stunned. This... their home?

After Lu Mingchuan entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Old woman, my son is back!"

Lu Huaijin followed him into the house and looked around. Except for the pear tree in the yard, everything else had changed.

"Huaijin!"

When Liu Shuyue came out of the house, she saw her son, whom she hadn't seen for several years, standing in the yard. She couldn't help but burst into tears again: "He's back! He's really back! It's not a dream."

She ran over and looked at her son: "Good, good, good, he's not injured, and he's not missing any limbs."

He came back alone, luckily he didn't bring other women with him, otherwise I would really break his legs.

"Mom! I'm fine!" Lu Huaijin hugged his mother. Even though he was a man, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sit down and have a rest. You've been traveling all the way. Mom will get you something to eat." Liu Shuyue went into the kitchen to prepare food for her son. It must have been tiring for him to travel all the way.

"Dad, what's going on? Why did our family build a yard like this?"

When he left home, it was still a shabby mud yard with bare walls that could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

This time, not only did they build a new house, but it was also a large blue brick and tile house. The village chief’s house isn’t as grand, right?

"This is all thanks to your wife. Last time there was a heavy rainstorm, the roof of our house was blown off. She made some money by running a shop in the city, so she simply discussed with us and decided to tear down the house and rebuild it."

Speaking of Yao Qingnian, Lu Mingchuan's eyes were full of satisfaction. Now that his son was back, the family was finally together.

Speaking of Yao Qingnian, he looked around in the yard. After not seeing her for such a long time, Lu Huaijin was full of curiosity about his daughter-in-law and was even impatient to meet her.

"Where is my wife?"

Liu Shuyue brought out a bowl of tofu pudding. This tofu pudding was just made today. Knowing that her son didn’t like sweet food, she made salty tofu pudding for him.

"You kid, you went to look for your wife as soon as you got back. You came back at an unfortunate time. She went to the capital to do some work."

Lu Huaijin frowned and looked at her father and then at her mother. They looked more energetic and rosy-cheeked than when she left. Her mother seemed to have gained a little weight. They were both full of energy and did not seem to have been worn out by life at all.

A lot of things happened at home when I was away.

"Mom, what is this?" He watched Liu Shuyue bring out something white and tender and put it on the table. He had never seen it before.

"This is made by your wife, tofu pudding, try it, it's delicious! She can make a lot of delicious food, you will be blessed in the future."

Lu Huaijin took a bite and found it tasted really good, smooth and delicious. He had rushed back all the way and was hungry, so he finished the bowl of tofu pudding in no time.

Not long after, a lot of people gathered around Lu Mingchuan's house, all of them came to inquire about the news of their men. Lu Daqing was the first one to return in the village. Although some people had returned one after another, there was still a large number of people who had no news. The villagers were anxious, and those whose men had not returned gathered around to inquire about the news.

But he didn't know much. He was on the battlefield, on the edge of a knife, with his life hanging by a thread every day. Everyone only cared about themselves and no one cared about the life or death of others. Moreover, the assignments were messed up, and he and Lu Daqing were almost separated. Fortunately, they were lucky and were assigned to the same place by accident. He didn't know anything about the people in the village.

After a brief greeting with his family, Lu Mingchuan called Lu Minghai and his family. Ye Youcai came to deliver beans. He was very excited to see his brother come back and stayed to eat together. Liu Shuyue and Lu Shuangshuang were busy cooking in the kitchen. The house was bustling with activity and filled with the smell of fireworks.

Several people in the courtyard were talking about what had happened in recent years, especially Lu Daqing, who talked about an incident when they were on a mission and suddenly encountered an enemy ambush. His life was hanging by a thread and he was seriously injured. He thought he would never be able to go back and would die there, so he arranged his funeral arrangements and prepared to die.

Fortunately, Lu Huaijin refused to give up on him no matter what, so he escaped death and saved his life. From then on, the two of them were not only cousins, but also friends who were willing to die for each other.

"Don't talk about the past anymore! Just come back!"

"Yes! It's all over!"

"Come on! Cheers! Congratulations on getting home safely!"

Afterwards, everyone picked some light-hearted and happy things to talk about, and consciously ignored the difficult and unpleasant things. Everyone knew that these years had not been easy, and it was enough to just know the suffering in your heart, and there was no need to bring it up again and make everyone feel uncomfortable.

As for Yao Qingnian, everyone is almost forgetting what she did in the past. The good life and big house of the family now are all her credit. Her efforts for them these days and all the big and small things in the family are all sincere. Let the past be forgotten and it is not important.

"Oh! On such a nice day, I forgot about Yinuo. If I had known Huaijin would come back today, I would have gone to the academy to pick him up. This bad boy has been talking about you every day!" Lu Mingchuan slapped his thigh. Yinuo must be the happiest one that his son is back.

"Yes, forget about it. There's no rush. There will be plenty of time in the future. Let Huai Jin pick him up in person tomorrow!" Liu Shuyue was so happy that she forgot about her eldest grandson.

Lu Huaijin seemed like an outsider and was completely confused.

"Who is Yinuo you are talking about?"

"Your son! Who else could it be?"

"Ahem, what, I have a son?!"
