Chapter 282 Uncle is coming back
Only my second cousin Li Mingze was only thinking about the delicious food in front of him and didn't care about anything else.
"Did anything good happen while I was away from home?" Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but ask as she looked at the smiles on everyone's faces.
"Yaoyao, you are so smart, guess what!" Liu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyao immediately looked up at everyone.
My grandmother couldn't suppress her joy, with smiles on her eyebrows and eyes. It can be seen that this happy event is also very important to her.
My aunt was even more beaming, and her smile even hid a bit of uncontrollable joy, as well as shyness and anticipation.
Looking at my cousin Li Mingyan again, he also has a relaxed look today, a rare smile on his face, and bright eyes!
Bai Yaoyao thought for a moment, "Could it be that my uncle is coming back?"
The whole family laughed.
"I said I couldn't hide it from Sister Yaoyao, right? She's so smart, she will definitely guess it in an instant!" Li Mingze said vaguely while shoveling food into his mouth.
Bai Yaoyao suddenly became excited, "Is it really true that my uncle is coming back? Does that mean my father is coming back too?"
Because uncle Li Yunping and Bai Yaoyao's father Bai Xingtian are both at the border, since Li Yunping has returned, Bai Xingtian should also come back.
When they heard Bai Yaoyao's words, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared instantly.
Madam Li immediately pulled her into her arms and said, "Yaoyao, your father is a general guarding the border. He can't come back without an imperial decree. Your uncle was injured and can't fight anymore, so we let him come back."
When Bai Yaoyao heard this, she immediately asked nervously, "Where is my uncle injured? Is it serious?"
"Don't worry. Fortunately, he has a miracle doctor by his side who treated him in time. Apart from not being able to go to the battlefield in the future, there are no other obstacles." Old Lady Li said with a smile.
"That's good." Bai Yaoyao finally felt relieved.
"Did my uncle tell us when he would be home? Should we go pick him up? After all, he is injured!" Bai Yaoyao asked again.
"Your aunt and cousin have taken care of these, so you don't have to worry about them. The weather is getting cold. After dinner, let Feng'er accompany you to make a few more clothes!" said Old Lady Li, touching her black and smooth hair lovingly.
"Didn't my second aunt buy a lot for me and my cousin Yaojia? It's enough for us to wear, so we don't have to make anything! My eldest uncle hasn't been back for more than ten years, and Yaoyao misses him very much, so I want to stay at home to help!" Bai Yaoyao said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, do whatever you want. Since you want to help, then go and accompany your aunt!" Old Lady Li said with a smile. In recent years, her health has been getting worse year by year. Her hair is full of white, the wrinkles on her face are deeper, and she doesn't like to move around anymore. If Li Yunping hadn't come back, she probably wouldn't be so energetic!
"Okay, grandma, go and have a good rest. We'll wait for my uncle to come back and honor you!" Bai Yaoyao said, leaning against her with a smile.
A happy smile appeared on Mrs. Li's face. Her eldest son, of whom she was most proud, was coming back. To be honest, it had been so long since she had seen her son since Yaoyao was old.
For the past fifteen years, every time she closed her eyes at night, she was terrified, fearing that there would be no mercy on the battlefield and that something might happen to Li Yunping and the others!
Now, I am finally back and the family is completely reunited.
Old Madam Li thought to herself and looked up at Yao. Yao, who was in her forties, had a woman's gentleness on her face compared to her usual dignified appearance. Her eyebrows were curved. Since she learned that Li Yunping had returned, she no longer had her usual seriousness.
"Leave the household affairs to Liu, and let Mingyan accompany you to go and pick it up!" Old Lady Li said with reluctance.
Yao was so excited that she suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you very much, mother! I'll trouble you, my sister-in-law, to take care of the household matters!"
"Don't be polite with me, sister-in-law. Just go ahead! I'll take care of everything at home, don't worry!" As a woman, Liu could understand Yao's feelings.
Yaojia also came over and said, "I can also help my mother with the housework. Aunt, please go and pick up uncle. We miss him too!" "Okay, okay, okay." Yao was so excited that tears came out of her eyes.
"I'll go too! I'll accompany my aunt to welcome my uncle!" Bai Yaoyao immediately expressed her opinion.
"Let's pack up and set off. The two sides should meet in Luyang City around the same time. That means we can pick up my uncle in half a month." Feng Shang calculated the time and said.
"Come to think of it, Yaoyao has never traveled far since she was a child! Since you want to go so much, just follow me! Feng'er, you can go too. I'll feel at ease knowing you're with her!" said Old Lady Li.
"Yes, grandmother!" Feng Shang saluted respectfully. He respected Madam Li, who raised Bai Yaoyao, from the bottom of his heart.
"In that case, the three of you will go with my sister-in-law. After picking up my brother, don't rush back. The scenery along the way is nice, and you can take Yaoyao to have a good time! And I will take advantage of the time when my sister-in-law is not at home to have the East Courtyard renovated, so that my brother can recuperate comfortably when he comes back!" Li Yunfeng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yao immediately stood up and bowed to him, "Thank you, Third Brother."
"You're too polite, sister-in-law. My brother has not been home for these years, and you are the eldest sister-in-law. You have been taking care of everything inside and outside the house. You have done so much for my brother. As family members, we all see it!" Li Yunfeng came from a modern and enlightened world, so naturally he respected Yao, who could remain a widow for more than ten years!
"Mother, I will go and prepare it. Please take care of yourself while I'm away. I'll bring your son back, and then we'll honor you together!" Yao knelt in front of Mrs. Li and said excitedly.
Madam Li waved her hand, her face full of kindness. "Go, go. Remember to bring plenty of money with you in case of any accidents! Take the most comfortable carriage at home with you. It's a long journey, and it has everything you need. You can also have a good rest!"
Yao kowtowed again, "Thank you, mother."
Then he got up and hurried back to the east courtyard to pack his luggage.
"A Shang, Madam Hu, all of Yaoyao's things have been packed." Feng Shang said.
"Don't worry, sir. I understand." Madam Hu bowed, stood up and went back to Bai Yaoyao's room.
Soon, everything was packed up. Bai Yaoyao only asked Madam Hu to take a few sets of clothes for changing. Feng Shang and Li Mingyan did the same.
When Yao came out, everyone was stunned by the large and small bags.
"Mother, why are there so many things?" Li Mingyan asked.
