The Return of the General to the Field

Chapter 6 Stranger?return guest

It was already dusk when Xia He woke up, and wisps of cooking smoke began to rise in the village.Meng Wu said to Li Lao Yao who was playing with green beans drying in the yard: "Ah Li, please pay attention to Brother He, I have something to do at Li Chang's house, so I won't come back for dinner." Li Lao Yao After listening to it, he replied cheerfully: "Hey! Don't worry!" Meng Wu replied: "Then I'm leaving!" So Meng Wu stepped over the threshold and walked around the wooden gate, striding towards Lizheng's house.

Meng Wu went around and finally found the house of the head of the house. After all, after many years, the memory of the original owner is also blurred.Meng Wu knocked on the door, and after a while, the former Qing Leng, who was supporting the head of the village, came to open the door.Ask softly: "What's the matter?" At this time, a voice came from the room: "Brother Yu, who is here?" Meng Yu turned her head and replied respectfully, "It's the man from outside at noon." Said to Meng Wu: "Please come in."

Meng Wu walked into the main room, and the old man in the village was sucking on his chimney.When he saw Meng Wu coming in, he put down the chimney and said, "Boy, why are you disturbing me?" Suddenly, his face changed, and he stood up eagerly and asked Meng Wu, "Are you really Meng Wu? You can't coax the old man." Meng Wu hurriedly supported the head of the village, and said, "Why would you joke about this kind of thing? I am indeed Meng Wu. You can look at the birthmark on my back." "Good! Good! Good!" The elder Li burst into tears. Grandpa, tell me how you have come here in the past few years."

Meng Wu helped the old man to sit down, and briefly talked about the experience of the past ten years with half truth and half lie.So much so that everyone in the village thought that Meng Wu was no different from other ordinary soldiers except that he was lucky.Isn't it good luck! He joined the army at the age of 14, and the rain of guns and arrows on the battlefield did not kill him for ten years.After the war, he came back with a lot of severance money.What Meng Wu wanted was this effect, so that no one would pay too much attention to it, so that he could spend his days of disarming and returning to the fields in peace.

Hearing Meng Wu's words, the old man felt very distressed. This is the child he watched grow up!He was sent to the battlefield by that conscienceless Meng Xinfu to suffer, and there was no news for ten years, and he thought he died on the battlefield.Meng Wu looked at the heartbroken chief, and comforted him, "Don't be sad, grandpa, I'm back." After waiting for a while, the chief's mood stabilized.Meng Wu then said: "Grandpa Li, actually I came today to trouble you..." Before he finished speaking, the Li Chang hurriedly interjected: "Is it Xia He's business, don't worry! Grandpa will definitely solve this matter, I will never let you be wronged." Meng Wu could not smile bitterly, and hurriedly explained: "I am very satisfied with the marriage with Xia He, what wronged me, and it is Xia He who was wronged." The old man asked suspiciously: "I really want to ?” Meng Wu replied helplessly: “Xia He is fine.” The chief of the village thought about it, and he was right!Except for being ugly, Xia He is good in other aspects. If the junior is willing, he, as an elder, will no longer be entangled.

"Then why didn't you come here because of Xia He's business?" asked the Lichang.Seeing that he finally got to the point, Meng Wu straightened his body and said, "My old house has been sold by my uncle. I have no place to live when I come back. I can't keep bothering Aunt Li. So I wonder if there are any vacant houses in the village. I’ll buy one.” The head of the village thought for a while and said, “Meng Zheng’s family at the end of the village moved to the town, and his house was sold to the village. I think it’s very good. You can go and see it. If you want, the village will give you the original price." "You don't need to look at it, the suggestion of the village chief's grandfather must be good. I need this one urgently." The village chief asked again: "It needs 27 taels of silver, and your money is enough. Is it?" "Enough. I didn't spend much on my severance payment." Meng Wu replied.

So Meng Wu quickly solved the housing problem, paid the money, took the deed and land deed, and went to tidy up the house.He thought about moving in after Xia He's matter was completely settled tomorrow.After you settle down, consider building a new house.

Having a house is like having a real home. Meng Wu looks forward to the days to come, and even tomorrow's bad things can't spoil his good mood.
