"What's wrong with my niece's wife's background?" General Wei asked puzzledly.
Xia Jinjun didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to talk about it now, and since he asked, he just said it.
"So that's how it is. That battle was truly tragic." General Wei didn't want to think about it.
"However, when I return, I will ask someone to see if there are any clues. The main thing is that the eldest princess...her husband and daughter died in the war, and she became ill. People are sometimes confused and sometimes lucid."
He sighed, "Otherwise, maybe I could ask."
"It's okay, Uncle Wei. The prince has already inquired for us. I guess the time has not come yet."
Xia Jinjun looked at the brave man and said, "Uncle Wei, have you really decided to live in our countryside?"
"What's wrong? You kid, you don't dislike your uncle Wei for being old, do you? I tell you, I can still do the work in the countryside, and I'm no worse than you, a scholar. If you don't believe me, let's compete tomorrow."
Xia Jinjun smiled, "Uncle Wei, I won't be polite then."
"Don't be polite. Being polite means you are looking down on your Uncle Wei."
Xia Jinjun smiled, "I'm happy for my mother. She has given up so much for us in her life, and now her life is finally complete."
"Yeah, your little girl is still useful."
"Zhiliao? Yes, I really have to thank Zhiliao. This girl has been doing great things quietly. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid my mother's regret would never be made up."
Xia Jinjun said this not to make General Wei blame himself, but he still made General Wei sigh repeatedly, "It's my fault that I was too straightforward. I was seriously injured at the time and was in a hurry to take you over, so I sent my trusted confidant. Afterwards, I was afraid that the man your mother found would misunderstand, so your mother refused to accept the money she sent."
"It's all my fault. My fault."
"Uncle Wei, how can I blame you for this? You have been so kind to my mother and us brothers and sisters. I am always grateful to you."
General Wei shook his head. "No, if I had taken you away at that time, at least your brother wouldn't have been killed by that vicious woman. These days I can always remember how he followed me. What a good child he was."
When he was moved, General Wei's eyes turned red.
Xia Jinjun also became sad. If his eldest brother was still alive, the family would be complete.
In the evening of the next day, Xia Jinheng, Lei Jiuniang and Xia Jinxiu received the news and rushed back from the county.
"Fourth brother, tell me, what is Uncle Wei like? Is he handsome? I don't even remember."
Xia Jinheng drove the carriage and said with a smile: "How could you possibly remember? You could even walk when he was at our house. It's strange that you can remember. I'm a little confused too. Why does a man need to be handsome? He's tall, doesn't talk much, and is very strong. He always carries the most firewood back, and he can even carry all of us brothers on his back."
"What about temper?"
"As for his temper, he wasn't very good." Xia Jinheng recalled, "But he didn't hit anyone, unlike our father. He also had arguments with mother, and mother was very harsh. When he got really angry, he would go to the mountain to chop wood, and he would bring me and your fifth brother to roast rabbits for us. He would peel off the rabbit skin and save it for our mother, saying that he wanted to make her a coat."
"Coat? Why didn't I see it?"
"He was driven away before he could finish his work!" Xia Jinheng smiled bitterly. "We were all reluctant to let him go at that time. My second brother cried the most, but mother was very determined. I know she kept crying after she carried you back to the house."
"Uncle Wei has been thinking about mom for so many years, which shows that he is a man who values ​​friendship. Of course, our mom is not bad either."
Lei Jiuniang laughed and said, "Otherwise, how could Uncle Wei, who holds a high position, still be obsessed with her and remain unmarried for the rest of his life!"
"Fourth sister-in-law, I love listening to what you say. If you want to find a man, you have to find someone like Uncle Wei." Xia Jinxiu said proudly.
Xia Jinheng smiled, not wanting to be slapped by his sister, "What are you laughing at? You have to learn to be nice to my fourth sister-in-law, otherwise I won't agree."
"Needless to say, just take care of your own business first." Xia Jinheng said.
"I...what's wrong with me? I know my own business. Don't bother with me."
Xia Jinheng laughed. He didn't care at the moment, but his sister was in trouble, so how could he, as a brother, not care?
When they got home, General Wei was still chopping wood. He was not at all arrogant. In addition, he was still strong and was not inferior to any young man.
Xia Jinjun was extremely worried, "Uncle Wei, you should take a rest. There are so many people here, how can we use you?"
"It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well stretch my muscles."
[Grandpa Wei wants grandma to see this. Dad, please don't worry about it.]
Old Mrs. Xia's eyes flickered, and Xia Jinjun wisely stopped trying to stop her.
Xia Jinheng and his companions came back at this time. After not seeing each other for many years, Xia Jinheng felt that Uncle Wei was still the same tall as he remembered, except that he had more white hair.
Lei Jiuniang bowed gracefully, "Uncle Wei!"
"Well, this is...Jin Heng's new daughter-in-law, right? Look at me, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. I'll make up for it later."
"Uncle Wei, you are too polite. Your coming here is the greatest gift."
General Wei nodded with satisfaction, "Sister Qing, this daughter-in-law is good. You have good taste. The daughters-in-law you choose are all good."
"Uncle Wei, do you still recognize me?"
"Jinxiu girl, you are as pretty as your mother when she was young. But Uncle Wei really doesn't dare to recognize you in public. You were still in your mother's arms back then!" Old General Wei laughed heartily.
Xia Jinxiu looked at the man in front of her carefully. He was similar to what her brothers had said, not handsome, but not ugly either, and gave people a very down-to-earth feeling.
She tilted her head and looked at her old mother with a smile, "Uncle Wei, who do you think is prettier, my mother or me?"
Old Mrs. Xia glared at her daughter, "You are so disrespectful."
General Wei, however, looked doting, "They all look good."
"Uncle Wei really doesn't offend anyone." Xia Jinxiu smiled.
There was constant laughter in the Xia family that night, and the lights stayed on until very late.
After dawn, after breakfast, General Wei praised Xia Jinxiu's cooking skills and claimed that if she went to the capital, she would definitely be able to make her business flourish.
"Jinxiu's cooking skills are unmatched even by the imperial chefs in the palace."
As soon as he said this, he felt the atmosphere around him changed, but he didn't think he had said anything wrong.
Is it just an illusion?
After dinner, Xia Zhiliao took General Wei and Old Lady Xia for a walk around the village.
"I don't want to move." said Mrs. Xia.
"Grandma, you have to move!"
Xia Zhiliao smiled mysteriously, [If you don't move, how can you make Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yang angry to death? Hurry up and show off Grandpa Wei to your old sisters! ]
