224 Returning Home

He was very familiar with the decorations in the room. They were all the same as when he was still in the Ning Family Village. “Yueyue is a blessed child.”

At this moment, Liu Xuan, who had just finished showering, came out of his room. Erlang hurriedly introduced, “Second Uncle, this is Cousin Liu Xuan, whom I just mentioned to you. He’s Yueyue’s mother’s eldest cousin.”

“Cousin Liu Xuan, this is my second uncle, who has also just been conferred the title of general by the emperor.” Erlang smiled and bragged in front of Liu Xuan.

“So it’s General Ning. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Liu Xuan bowed to Ning Chen.

“Hey, good child,” Ning Chen said with a smile. “By the way, I’m going back to Laifu Village tomorrow. Do you want to join me?”

“Alright, I was just about to go back in two days. If Second Uncle is going back too, let’s go together,” Erlang said with a smile.

The three of them chatted late that night. Erlang and Liu Xuan were very interested in Ning Chen’s stories in the military camp.

They chatted until late at night. Ning Chen couldn’t help but chase the two of them to bed before the conversation ended.

The next day, the three of them slept until almost noon before getting up. Erlang was excitedly buying things on the street. If not for Liu Xuan stopping him, Erlang would have emptied the entire street.

In addition to their salary, the emperor had also rewarded Erlang. Ning Yue had also left some silver for them.

Normally, Erlang would not be willing to spend money, but it was different now. He was going home. He had to bring some gifts for his family, right?

When he reached the street, he couldn’t help but want to buy everything and give the best to his family.

The two of them returned to Laifu Village three days later with five carriages.

Ning Yue and the others had long received the news and were waiting at the entrance of Laifu Village.

In the distance, they saw five carriages heading towards the village of Laifu.

Old Master Ning stood at the front. When he saw his second son, his eyes were already filled with tears.

Ning Chen walked to the old man and knelt down. “Father, I’m unfilial. It took me so long to come back to see you.”

Old Master Ning hurriedly helped Ning Chen up. “You’re doing this for the family. Get up quickly. It’s been hard on you guarding the border.”

The group returned home happily. Ning Yue sighed with emotion.

It had been a long time since she had seen her grandfather so happy. If possible, she really hoped that Second Uncle could stay longer. In that case, her grandfather would be happier to see his son every day.

Ning Chen took out all the gifts and distributed them to everyone except his wife.

Qin Shi almost cried. This stinky man had gone out and came back with gifts. He remembered everyone but her.

Unable to take it anymore, she turned around and returned to her room.

Seeing this, Ning Chen hurriedly followed. “Wife, are you unhappy to see me?”

“I’m not happy. You can see whoever you want. Anyway, don’t bother me,” Qin Shi said.

“Don’t be like this. I prepared a gift for you alone.” As he spoke, Ning Chen took out a small box from his backpack.

When Qin Shi saw the small box, she was still very angry. There were only so many gifts for others. When it came to her, there was nothing much!

“Wife, open it first,” Ning Chen said with a smile.

Madam Qin snatched the small box angrily and opened it. She was immediately attracted by the jewelry inside.

There was a golden necklace, a golden bracelet, and a golden ring. There was also a golden hairpin. The style was very beautiful, and Qin Shi instantly liked it.

“How is it? Do you like the gift I prepared for you? Do you like it?” Ning Chen asked.

“I like it.” Madam Qin stroked the four pieces of gold jewelry lovingly.

Hearing his wife say that she liked his gift, Ning Chen heaved a sigh of relief. During the days he had left home, his wife had been in charge. Although she had the help of her other sisters-in-law, it was always different without her man by her side.

Seeing Qin Shi’s happy expression, Ning Chen smiled.

Then, he thought of something and hurriedly stopped smiling. He said to Qin Shi, “Wife, I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Madam Qin picked up the golden bracelet and put it on her wrist.

“It’s like this. The emperor rewarded me with a hundred taels of silver. I don’t need this money at the border. Moreover, I have a monthly salary. I plan to leave this money in Father’s hands.”

Hearing Ning Chen’s words, Qin Shi’s hand paused. She looked up at him in surprise. “You plan to give the silver to Father?”

“I’m discussing this with you. What do you think?” Ning Chen asked.

“Let me tell you this. Yueyue opened an oil press and a winery. Now, our family doesn’t have to worry about food or clothes. To be honest, your hundred taels of silver are nothing.”
