The footsteps in the courtyard were approaching, Lu Zifei's heart became nervous, he was afraid that he would show his stuff, there was not much time to really contact him when he crossed over, and when something like that happened, everyone's hearts were very heavy, no one had the desire to speak, and he left in a hurry, and he was about to see his family, he was still very complicated in his heart, and he was still facing problems.

A middle-aged woman appeared in his field of vision, looking fine, but a little haggard, looking at Lu Zifei standing in front of him, tears were involuntarily left in her eyes, she trotted to Lu Zifei and touched his face, and muttered in her mouth, "It's my Xiaofei, it's my Xiaofei." In an instant, Lu Zifei felt the feeling of being connected by blood, and he didn't even have to verify that this was his mother, this was an unspeakable, unreasonable, and unfounded belief.

Lu Zifei knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said: "The child is not filial, and he can't take care of his father and mother outside for three years, which makes the second elder worried." ”

Lu Zifei's mother had long been crying, the three-year war had made a boy more resolute and mature, but his skin was a little dark, and he turned his head and shouted to Lu Ziyun behind him, "What are you doing there?" Why don't you go and prepare a brazier for your brother. ”

This is a custom in Shaanxi or the whole north, that is, people who have been in contact with the dead and have been on the battlefield must walk from the brazier three times when they go home, which means don't bring bad luck home, Lu Zifei introduced to his mother: "Mother, this is my comrade-in-arms, Li Lin, Kaifeng people." Li Lin followed up and said, "Hello aunt"

"Okay, all right, it's good that you return safely." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cry in the courtyard, the younger brother brought out the brazier, and the child who came was crying, Lu Zifei's mother was embarrassed, and she didn't have time to tell her eldest son? This is a big deal, the eldest son inherits everything, and the younger son and daughter will rely on him in the future, Lu Zifei spoke, and his mother who should know will naturally tell him that he walked back and forth from the brazier three times with Li Lin, ending this exquisiteness, and let Lu Ziyun lead the two horses to the backyard, he followed his mother into the gate, and as soon as he came in, he saw a glutinous rice dumpling-like villain, with a pigtail, a flat mouth, and a crying look, he quickened his pace and came to the front and hugged him, Lu Zifei could still smell the milk fragrance on her body, and saw his mother by his side, Don't cry anymore, just peek around Lu Zifei, there is no such person at home!

Lu Zifei's mother was also relieved when she saw him like this, and said, "Xiaofei, this is your sister, she is more than a year old this year, her nickname is weak, and her father said that when you come back, she will be called brother." "Brother is not like this!

Lu Zifei knew that the child still had a sense of strangeness, but he had a magic weapon to win, he took out a piece of candy from his cuff, which he made with reference to the white rabbit, and then he said like a big bad wolf to seduce Little Red Riding Hood, "Call brother, this will be eaten for you, it's sweet." Xiao Xiaoweak's eyes lit up when he heard the word sweet, and the osmanthus cake that his father bought was also sweet, so should he call it? didn't know him, Lu Zifei stood aside, and his mother saw the scene of brother and sister interaction, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Xiao Fei, don't tease that little grinder, hurry up and your friend will come into the house and sit."

"Mother, you don't have to be polite to him, he came to our house to eat and drink."

"Then you say so, friends, you go to the meeting first, I'll let you boil some water, you take a bath."

Lu Zifei didn't hear what his mother said, he was struggling with the weak? Weak and weak don't call her brother, Lu Zifei didn't give her candy to eat, and finally lost to the woman's tears, a pair of big eyes full of mist, they all said that women are made of water, this is not true at all, first-class tears You only have one way to surrender, there is absolutely no second land to go, and it has nothing to do with age. When the toffee reached her mouth, her tears disappeared immediately, this is an Oscar-level actor! Such a small attainment is so deep, Lu Zifei thought about it, this should be a talent, a special skill for women.

After boiling the water, Lu Ziyun took a change of clothes, the two finally took a clean hot bath, and after coming out, Lu Zifei found that his father had returned from the county office, and knelt on the ground without saying a word and continued to kowtow, Lu Li helped his son up, looking at his son's dark skin and firm eyes, his heart hanging in the air was relaxed, and he didn't expect any achievements, and it was the greatest luck for his son to come back alive.

"Prepare with your friends, today you return triumphantly, and our father and son have a little drink." Lu Li patted his son, who was as tall as himself, on the shoulder.

Lu Ziyun ran in and panted and said, "Big brother, there are several horseback riders outside the door, saying that they are looking for you, you can go out and have a look." "Looking for yourself, there should be no one else except Uncle Wang, as soon as you enter the door with your front foot, someone behind you knows your whereabouts.

After going out, Lu Zifei saw Wang Chao coming with Huzi, a few horses were full of them, it should be the spices and tools he needed, a few iron pots were too conspicuous, and said: "Uncle Wang came just at the right time, and he was about to cook, so you just came with something and walked in." After coming in, Lu Zifei and a few people sorted and unloaded things, Lu Li and Lu Ziyun looked strange on the side, weakly held in their arms and secretly aimed at everyone with their eyes, and at most they focused on the eldest brother who gave her candy just now.

"Huzi, you take him over to set up a pot in the backyard, I'll show you a hand in a while, I'm going to get some wine, three years of life and death, let's relax today." Hearing that Lu Zifei still had wine to drink today, Huzi happily agreed.

Noticing the weak gaze sweeping around him, he knew that it was another gluttonous little girl, took it from Lu Li's hand and held it in his arms and asked her if she still wanted to eat candy, weakly looked at Lu Li, saw his father's encouraging eyes, and said that he wanted to eat, Lu Zifei gave him all the remaining sugar, asked him to give his second brother a little, and then asked him to go to Lu Ziyun to play.

Lu Zifei took Li Lin and Wang Chao into the living room, invited his father to sit down by the way, showed them tea and asked Wang Chao, "Uncle Wang, how are you doing what I asked you to do, and has there been any progress?" ”

Wang Chao said: "Now the shopkeeper and the guys have found a good place, and the place has also found a big one, the training you said is being done, and I have seen a lot of tea in the market, but there is not much sugar and salt." ”

"Then those people's training can't keep up."

Wang Chao said with some distress: "One hundred of them need nearly three hundred yuan a day, don't you continue, we don't have much money left." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry about the money, I will handle it myself, you keep an eye on me in training, and you are not allowed to slack off, but there must not be more than a hundred people, you don't have to worry about sugar and salt, someone will send it over when the time comes, and collect all the rest of the money for tea, this year's time is running out, we have to open the situation first." ”

Wang Chao replied, and Lu Zifei asked Li Lin, who was checking the pulse of the teacup, "There is nothing wrong with my sugar and salt, but you patted your chest and agreed, you misunderstood my business, you don't want to eat a bite of food I made with this quilt." ”

Li Lin's purpose in following Lu Zifei was to get sick, and he didn't ask along the way, because he was waiting for news, someone should be coming from Tokyo, right? He didn't dare to gamble, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "We have an agreement, you are optimistic about my father's illness, and I will help you solve the problem of sugar and salt, the main thing is that I don't know if your method is useful yet, if it is useful, you can rest assured, it is really not a thing." ”

Lu Li listened for a while and understood, his son is preparing to do business! No, I have been a household for so many years, to put it bluntly, it is the reason for the lack of reading, not that thing, my son may be in the Jinshi now, and he must not let the identity of a businessman ruin his life, and hurriedly said: "Xiaofei, you have been more sensible since you were a child, I will support you in whatever you want to do, I should have gone three years ago, you said that there was no one to take care of the house, I listened to you, but if you want to be a businessman, absolutely not, I will not let you do business, even your mother's side you can't pass the test, listen to me, you study your homework at home." , There is a person in Lantian County next door who has recruited disciples at home for the past two years, I will help you ask, if you can, you can go, you have read more books than me, and you should read more clearly than me. ”

Lu Zifei understood what his father meant, as everyone thought at the beginning, he still wanted to explain to his father clearly, it is best not to have a gap between the family, as the saying goes, 'family and everything is prosperous', Lu Zifei said, "Father thinks too much, this business is done by Uncle Wang, I just give them ideas in the back, there is the Cao family behind it, you don't have to worry, I will still continue my studies, but I want to go outside, the good teachers in Shaanxi have gone all these years, someone is responsible for doing business, and my father can rest assured." ”

Lu Li heard what his son meant and wanted to go out again, and said in his mouth, "Why are you going to go out again when you just came back, it's not a hurry." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Father, the child has been three years older than others, and there has been no progress but regression in the past three years, you say that I can not be in a hurry, the examiner and the jinshi must let experienced people tutor you, you will have progress, and you can't do it behind closed doors." ”

Lu Li said, "Then are you going to go there?" ”

Lu Zifei thought for a while and said: "Luoyang is the most likely, it is not very far from home, not far from Tokyo, there are many famous Confucians and bachelors, I want to go there to see." ”

"I wanted to talk to you about what happened three years ago? I've found some clues. ”

Lu Zifei heard what happened three years ago, and his eyes glowed like a beast, "What did Fa Qin find." ”

Lu Li saw that his son didn't let the two outsiders go out and understood that they were his own people, and said, "Xiaoyun has loved to stick to you since he was a child, you know his character, it's okay to be in the nest, you said let him push people down the well, I don't believe he has the guts." ”

Lu Zifei thinks about it! A person who doesn't dare to look at killing chickens, how dare he kill people, others dare not guarantee that Ziyun grew up watching him, and he knows his younger brother's temperament.

"Father's enemy?"
