Yang Hongjin was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Hai said he was going back.
"Why is my brother-in-law in such a hurry to go back?"
"Hehe, of course you can't experience the joy of not having traffic jams on the highway and not having the golden week holiday." Jiang Hai smiled.
Yang Hongjin naturally didn't understand what Jiang Hai was talking about, and still looked confused.
He himself needs to be in charge here. He can't let both of the people in charge run away.
Seeing his doubts, Jiang Hai stopped joking and changed the subject.
"My wife is pregnant, and I want to go back and spend the New Year here before coming back."
"I see. Then you must come back early."
"Well, don't worry, it won't take much time to go back and forth. Besides, the martial arts is here, so you can just go to him if you need anything."
Jiang Hai was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said,
"I've already sent a letter to Old Taishan, asking him not to return to the capital to report on his work."
"Come to Yuezhou?"
"Well, I'll come over to help you lead the troops in the spring, if nothing unexpected happens, that's it."
"Well, I was so busy attacking and defending the city that I forgot about this. Fortunately you remembered it." Yang Hongjin said a little ashamedly.
Jiang Hai had always taken Yuchi Zhong's matter into consideration, but at the beginning, he felt that the timing was not right and did not want him to come back.
This time, after they had crossed the river to the north, he sent someone to send a letter to explain the situation here to him.
After saying that, Jiang Hai went to find Wenzhi and prepared to go back.
Now, if we cross the river and ride back to Xincheng at full speed, it will only take about ten days, which is a few days faster than before.
Jiang Hai traveled light and brought only Wenzhi, Wangfa and a few followers back to Xincheng this time.
After ten days' journey, we returned to Xincheng.
Enter the city and go straight to Jiang Mansion along the East City Avenue.
This time when I came back, I didn’t let my family know in advance, which was a little surprise.
After entering the house, Jiang Hai went straight to his yard.
It has been almost three months since I left for the expedition, and I miss you so much.
As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted at the top of his voice,
"Ma'am, I'm back."
At this time, Yuchi Ziling was at home, being helped by Hong'er to make clothes, shoes and socks for the children.
Although there are ready-made ones available for purchase in new cities, first-time mothers still feel that they have a greater sense of accomplishment by doing it themselves.
When I heard Jiang Hai's voice, I thought it was hallucination. He shouldn't have come back from the fight so quickly.
It was not until Jiang Haibian walked and shouted again that she was sure it was true.
He quickly got up and ran out of the house.
"Stop, don't move, don't run!" Jiang Hai saw her running out and immediately stopped her anxiously.
In her excitement, Yuchi Ziling had forgotten about it. She only realized what was happening when Jiang Hai spoke. She stopped and smiled.
"Jiang Lang, why are you back so soon?"
Jiang Hai took a few steps forward, hugged her, and took a deep breath of the long-lost fragrance.
"No, I just wanted to come back and see you."
These few simple words sounded as sweet as honey to Yuchi Ziling's ears.
"Haha." Yuchi Ziling smiled contentedly, responded to his hug, and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
At this moment, the whole yard seems to be filled with the longing and attachment for the reunion after a short separation, and the overflowing part is happiness and warmth.
"Okay, okay, don't hold me too tight, watch out for your stomach."
Jiang Hai was worried about the baby in her belly, so he quickly let her go and took her hand and went into the house together.
Seeing Hong'er packing up needlework, fabrics, and finished children's clothes, Jiang Hai grinned and asked knowingly,
"Are you preparing clothes for the child?"
"Yes, young master." Hong'er responded after she had almost finished packing.
Seeing the couple come in, she said goodbye and left without disturbing them.
After Hong'er left, the couple snuggled together on the sofa.
Jiang Hai stared at his wife's belly. It was a little bit obvious, but not obvious. He touched it gently and asked,
"Will you still have morning sickness?"
"No, I just vomited for a month." Yuchi Ziling shook her head.
"Is there anything you're craving? I'll get it for you. I heard some people particularly like to eat certain foods when they're pregnant."
"No need, I've been fattened up by my stepmother recently."
"Will the little guy kick you?" Jiang Hai asked, scratching his head and said,
"No, it won't happen now, it will happen when the month is late."
"You still understand these things?"
"I know a little bit." Jiang Hai said.
Yuchi Ziling wanted to laugh when she saw his anxious look, but she felt sweet inside.
The two talked about parenting for a while, and then talked about the war in the north.
Jiang Hai clenched his fist and said,
"We'll take it down within March of the new year, and then we'll be back to welcome the baby boy."
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course there is. I promise I will do it." Jiang Hai said confidently.
This was already a conservative statement. He estimated that two months might be enough.
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Ziling stretched out her slender jade hand and touched his face,
"Don't be too anxious. It's better to be safe. I don't ask you to finish the battle so quickly, but you have to promise me that you won't put yourself in danger."
"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much." Jiang Hai also reached out and pinched her slightly chubby cheek.
The couple snuggled together and enjoyed the time of reunion after a short separation.
He didn't leave the yard until Cai'er came to call him for dinner.
At the dinner table, Jiang Xiuyuan no longer had the look of disdain towards his son, and now he looked so comfortable no matter how he looked at him.
"Come on, Hai'er, eat more." He picked up the dishes and put them into Jiang Hai's bowl.
"Stop, don't call me Hai'er. If you really want to show more affection, just call me son." Jiang Hai really couldn't stand his cheap father's change of attitude.
"Okay, okay, son, eat more. You've lost weight recently and I feel so sorry for you." Jiang Xiuyuan continued to show his fatherly love as strong as a mountain.
Well, Jiang Hai’s bowls are piled up into a mountain of fatherly love.
"..." Jiang Hai endured it silently. It was rare for him to be so happy, so he didn't argue with him.
Seeing Jiang Xiuyuan's pretentious look and Jiang Hai's speechless show of his fans, Siqin and Yuchi Ziling were trying to hold back their laughter so much that they could hardly eat.
Jiang Hai was still thinking about his plans for the new year, but the current situation was one-sided.
Now that Yang Hongye has lost his power, a chain reaction will definitely occur.
Especially the period before the New Year should be the most tormenting time for enemy generals.
And things turned out just as he expected. When he was on his way back to the new city, some people in the state capital were already getting restless.
Guhezhou, which was separated from Qingzhou by one state, had expressed its intention to surrender long ago, but did not take any action until the army arrived.
This time when the Yuezhou army arrived there, all the civil and military officials of Guhezhou defected to them, and they captured another state without bloodshed.
The troops sent by the imperial court to attack the cities occupied by the Yuezhou army also began to become restless and their morale was low. Some of the generals were already considering defecting to the light.
Thinking about these things, Jiang Hai didn't argue with his father much. The scene was so warm with the loving father and filial son.
