"Son, you're finally back." Old Mrs. Jiang gave up her seat to the couple. Mrs. Li held her eldest son's arm, tears streaming down her face unconsciously...

The son she missed so much every day finally came back.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't cry, Dad..."

"It's good that you're home. Your mother has warmed up the rice in the pot and is waiting for you to come back." Liu Shihu patted his son's shoulder heavily. It had been such a long time since they last saw him. He looked darker and stronger.

"Brother Huo Dong, please go sit in the main room for a while. I'll prepare food for you right away." Liu Yuhan walked towards the kitchen while talking to Huo Dong.

"Okay." Huo Dong stood in front of Liu Daling, but his eyes unconsciously looked at her.

"Good boy, you all come inside and sit down. You will have hot food soon."

"Thank you, Grandpa, for bothering you so late."

"No, no, come on, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea first. It's very cold at night."

"Follow me." Huo Dong said to Huo Yi and Huo Er.

"Yes, young master."

Liu Yuhan took the opportunity to take the slightly frozen dumplings from the space and started cooking.

Li warmed up a lot of food. Liu Yuhan fried some shredded potatoes, and Li cut two large bowls of braised meat, one bowl of pig ears, and one bowl of pig feet. She also added the fish balls, meatballs, and vegetable meatballs that were fried this afternoon and put them in a bowl each.

It was ready quickly and I took it to the kitchen and asked them to come over to eat.

The few people were tired and hungry after traveling, but after eating the hot and fragrant dumplings and drinking a bowl of thick dumpling soup, they felt extremely satisfied.

Huo Dong could actually go back to the Huo Mansion directly, but he still wanted to go to the Liu Family before the New Year. He had promised to take care of Liu Yang, so he naturally did it.

During this period of free time, he improved Liu Yang's martial arts, taught him horsemanship, taught him how to kill the enemy, and urged him to read and practice calligraphy.

He had memorized the Thirty-Six Stratagems by heart, and not long ago, he had secretly sneaked into Chencang and took advantage of the situation to rob and burn two large ships that were invading Japanese pirates.

The Huo family's army not only had brave archers, but they also had gunpowder. The explosive power of the gunpowder made it impossible for the enemy to resist. The Japanese pirates screamed and howled, their ships shattered, and they fled in panic...

I believe they won't dare to invade again during the Lunar New Year period! The South can have a peaceful and tranquil New Year!

We achieved the greatest victory with the least manpower, all thanks to the little girl.

After having dinner, Huo Dong and others said goodbye and returned to the city overnight. The Liu family packed a lot of dried meat and bacon for them.
