Chapter 48 The Heroine Who Was Cannon Fodder After Entering the Book 28
Ever since the Su family knew that Su Wang was coming back, they were all looking forward to it. Su's mother even cleaned Su Wang's room over and over again and prepared Su Wang's favorite dishes early.
That afternoon, Su's mother was playing with Xiaobao in Su Li's yard when Su Xing led a tall and mighty man in. Su Li recognized him at a glance as Su Wang, who had been away from home for three years.
In three years, the boy has become much more mature and stable.
He is 1.85 meters tall, with a handsome face, dark skin and bright eyes. The handsome boy has now grown into a tough young man.
The murderous aura around him had not completely subsided, and he looked quite intimidating standing there.
Xiaobao was so scared that he burrowed into Su Li's arms. Su Li patted his back soothingly and signaled him not to be afraid. The little guy stayed quietly in Su Li's arms.
When Su's mother saw Su Wang, she didn't dare to recognize him for a moment. But Su Wang strode forward, knelt at her feet, and shouted, "Mother, your unfilial son is back!"
Su's mother's tears immediately flowed out, and she hugged the son she had been thinking about for several years.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, son! You're finally back!" Su's mother burst into tears as she spoke.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few years, for she's afraid that one day she'll wake up to hear the news that her son died in battle.
Su Wang hugged his mother back and said with a choked voice, "Don't cry, Mom. I'm fine. Don't worry. Your son is back."
Big Brother Su standing by was also quietly wiping his tears. Only Su Li and Su Xi, the aunt and nephew, were surprised. One was cold-hearted while the other thought it was amazing that Daddy could cry?
After Su's mother finished crying, she pulled Su Wang up and looked him over. She wanted to say with concern: "You've become darker and thinner." But she could only say: "Why are you so dark?"
Su Wang: "A man with darker skin looks more manly and more handsome."
Su's mother said: "Yes! That's true, my son has become stronger and taller."
Su Wang saw Su Li and Xiaobao in her arms and asked in surprise: "Sister, is this your son? When did you get married?"
Su Li was very upset after hearing this. It seemed that this second brother was still the same second brother as before, still so unreliable.
Su's mother was more direct and slapped him on the back (she originally wanted to hit the back of the head, but the height difference was too big and she couldn't reach it).
"What are you talking about? Your sister is still a girl, and that's your nephew. You've only grown taller over the years, but not smarter, right?" Su's mother scolded angrily.
Su Wang knew that he had said the wrong thing, touched his nose awkwardly, and then looked at Su Li in a flattering manner.
Su Li rolled his eyes at him and left him with the back of his head.
Su Wang wanted to explain a few more words, but his mother asked Su Xing to take him to wash up. He had no choice but to follow Su Xing, thinking of apologizing to his sister later.
Su Wang had been traveling all the way exhausted. In order to get home early, he hadn't rested much on the way. Now he felt much better after washing up.
In the evening, Su's father rushed back from Xinghua Village. Today he happened to go back to Xinghua Village to visit his parents.
Just as I was about to return to the county town, I saw Tiezhu, the head of the village, and the second boy from my eldest brother's family coming back. Several young people from the village also came back with them, including Su Qiang and Zhang Dong.
When Su Dazhuang learned that his second son had also returned, he rushed to the county town without stopping.
When the villagers saw these young people coming back, they were excited and gathered at the door of the village headman's house, asking why their family members had not returned.
Some people have already wiped away tears.
Li Tiezhu is very different now. He has been killing enemies on the battlefield for several years, and the aura he exudes is something these villagers have never seen before.
When Li Tiezhu walked to that station, the people who had been noisy just now became quiet.
Seeing the scene quiet down, Li Tiezhu said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, fellow villagers. We, the Chu State, have won the battle, and the enemy has surrendered. Our emperor is wise and has specially approved our return home to visit our relatives. We have come back at full speed. The others are still on their way and will be home in a day or two."
The villagers were very happy to hear that their family members would be back in a day or two.
No one saw the complicated look in Li Tiezhu's eyes. Maybe some people did see it, but they were just hoping for the best and didn't want to think about it in a bad way.
Don’t laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from the battles in history?
Although this battle was won, how many parents lost their sons, how many women lost their husbands, and how many children lost their fathers?
Not only did most of the men from Xinghua Village who went to fight in the war never come back, but even more men could not return home.

The Su family gathered together for dinner in the evening. Father and mother Su were all smiling as they listened to Su Wang talk about some interesting things that happened in the military camp.
Su Wang’s speech was so vivid and interesting that even Su Li and Su Xing listened with great interest. The whole family talked and laughed, and the meal lasted particularly long.
When Su's father and mother learned that Su Wang was now a second-rank cavalry general, in charge of the cavalry.
Excitement was no longer enough to describe their expressions. If Su Li hadn't been conditioning them all year round, they would have probably fainted at that moment.
Father Su then understood why those who had returned from the army looked at him with respect in the village today.
My son is so successful now. The Su family’s ancestral graves are really happy! May all the ancestors bless us!
Brother Su and his wife also had beaming faces, and were genuinely happy for Su Wang and for this family.
Although Su Xi didn't know how powerful a second-rank general was, he had heard from his aunt that the general was very powerful!
He no longer cared about being afraid of Su Wang. He ran to Su Wang, raised his little head, and looked at Su Wang with admiration.
He stretched out his hands for Su Wang to hold him, and Su Wang lifted him up. He immediately hugged Su Wang's neck and looked at Su Wang with bright eyes.
Su Wang rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Good boy, just like me, haha..."
That night, everyone in the Su family slept well, except for Father Su, who was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He wanted to tell Grandpa Su and Grandma Su the good news immediately!
In fact, there was no need for Su's father to do so. After he left, the news spread throughout Xinghua Village. Everyone knew that his second son had become a general, and the son of the village head had also become a general.
For a while, the villagers of Xinghua Village were talking about it and were full of envy. They all felt that the ancestors of these two families were very successful.
As they were talking, someone said that Su Wang was lucky to have a sister as capable as Su Li, so he was able to learn martial arts with her!
Su Wang used to be lazy and careless. If Su Li hadn't taught him martial arts, how could he have earned so many military merits on the battlefield?
The children in his own family are no worse than Su Wang, except that they are not as lucky as him and do not have a powerful sister.
Some people also say that Li Tiezhu became a general even though he didn't learn martial arts. This is just Su Wang's own ability.
There are all kinds of comments, but everyone is envious and no one is jealous.
The gap is too big, so they dare not be jealous. Besides, they earned it by killing enemies on the battlefield and paying with their lives.
