Before returning to the brigade, Lu Yuan picked up Xu Dong, Lu Yuanchao, and Lu Jiefang when he passed through the county.
San was overjoyed.
"Brother Yuan, you're finally back."
Lu Yuanchao was extremely eager to see his wife. He secretly went back home for the New Year. His wife was very pregnant, and he wanted to be by her side when she gave birth.
