While driving, Xiao Yichen looked at the situation in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said softly, "Brother Cheng, don't think too much. Go back and heal your injuries. If you need anything, feel free to have someone bring a letter to you."
Lu Cheng nodded slightly and said gratefully: "Yichen, thanks to you. When my leg is healed, we will have a good reunion."
It was more than 300 kilometers away from Beijing. Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan took turns driving for more than ten hours. They were afraid that Lu Cheng would be too tired on the road, so they found a guesthouse to sleep for a night.
Lin Yuexi wanted to say that she could drive, but she thought about how she had shown off so many things she could do during this period of time, and now she could drive. If someone asked, how would she explain it? So she didn't say that she wanted to drive herself.
The next afternoon, the jeep drove into Qinghe Village, dusty and tired, attracting villagers and children to watch. Some children even chased the jeep for a distance.
Afterwards, the jeep stopped in front of the three large tiled houses where Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi got married.
Since Lin Yuexi had written a letter to Wang Lijuan before, saying that Lu Cheng would return to Qinghe Village to recuperate in the next few days, and asked Wang Lijuan to clean his house and make the bed in advance, Wang Lijuan naturally did so.
Besides, when Lin Yuexi went to Beijing, it was already the end of the year, but when she came back it was already May. The weather had become warmer, so it was quite easy to pack up.
By the time Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng's jeep arrived at the door of the house, Wang Lijuan, who had already received the message, had come over to open the door and boiled some water to welcome them.
When the villagers learned that Lu Cheng had returned home, they all rushed to watch.
He wanted to come and see how the hero who had not returned home for five years and was diagnosed as paralyzed was doing now, and Liu Cuihua's family actually came as well.
Lin Yuexi did not stop him, because she was afraid that Lu Cheng would hear about his parents, brother and sister-in-law's attitude towards his family and it would affect his health, so she did not explain it to him for the time being, and only said that his parents were fine.
Lu Cheng returned home surrounded by people. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including a sense of familiarity with his long-lost hometown and regret for the blank time in his hometown for the past five years.
He sat on a chair in the main room with his injured leg slightly stretched out, while Lin Yuexi carefully packed his luggage for him. Wang Lijuan was busy serving tea and water, greeting everyone warmly.
Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan also sat down in the main hall. They were exhausted from the journey and planned to stay in the village for two days before leaving. In fact, it was their first time in the countryside and they wanted to stay there for two days to try it out.
Captain Li and Secretary Zhao also came over.
Secretary Zhao shook Lu Cheng's hand as soon as he entered the room. "Lu Cheng, I heard that in that operation, you fought ten enemies alone and destroyed the enemy's stronghold. You led the way to lure the enemy away. You are the pride of Qinghe Village!"
Lu Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Secretary Zhao, you are too kind. Those are what I should do as a soldier."
Captain Li said, "As he should be? These are all great achievements! In all these years, Qinghe Village has produced a hero like you. Your return will make the village lively."
Xiao Yichen also stood up and nodded slightly to Secretary Zhao and Captain Li, "I am Xiao Yichen, Lu Cheng's brother, and this is Gao Lechuan, who was sent by the army to escort Lu Cheng's brother home.
This time we sent Lu Cheng back, hoping that Lu Cheng could go home to recuperate, and then he can join the army after his leg is healed. We will only stay here for two days and then leave. Brother Cheng and sister-in-law, your nephew will have to ask the captain and the villagers to take care of him. "
Captain Li and Secretary Zhao said hurriedly, "Of course, of course! You are all honored guests, please feel free to ask for anything you need. Lu Cheng's health is the most important, so you must rest and recover."
At this time, several villagers came in with vegetables and eggs grown at home. "Lu Cheng, these are grown by us. No pesticides are used. They are very fresh. They will nourish your body."
Lu Cheng thanked him repeatedly, tears of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi hurried over to take the things handed over by the villagers and said with a smile: "Everyone is so polite. Come and sit down."
The atmosphere in the house became increasingly warm. Everyone chatted about family matters, asked about Lu Cheng's experiences outside, and shared the changes in the village over the years.
Lu Cheng listened quietly, feeling the strong homesickness.
Only Lu Zhendong, Liu Cuihua, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiuying were at a loss here. Lu Zhen felt a little strange, but he didn't have time to ask them how they got back.
As it grew dark, Secretary Zhao and Captain Li stood up to say goodbye, and the other villagers also dispersed one after another.
Lin Yuexi began to prepare dinner with the things sent by the villagers. Seeing that the ingredients were not enough, she took out a few pounds of meat from the space, mixed it in, and made a big bowl of braised pork. She also killed a chicken sent by Wang Xiujuan, fried a few eggs, and stir-fried lettuce, cabbage and other vegetables, barely making enough for a table of food.
Call Xiao Yichen, Gao Lechuan, Ziyan and Xiyun to come over for dinner.
At the same time, several people in the Lu family's old house began to quarrel.
Liu Cuihua was so angry that she smashed a bowl. She never expected that Lu Cheng not only came back alive, but also woke up. From what his brother said, it was impossible for Lu Cheng to be paralyzed all the time, and there was a possibility that he could stand up and return to the army in the future. She was fooled by that bitch Lin Yuexi.
Seeing his mother getting angry, Lu Jianguo immediately stopped her, "Dad, Mom, you are my third brother's biological parents. So what if there is a letter of severance? Can the blood relationship really be severed?
I'll watch for two days. When his two brothers leave, go tell your third brother that it was Lin Yuexi who forced you to sign this letter of suspension. Find an excuse for you to take care of your third brother and ask him to divorce this bitch..."
Lu Zhendong said hesitantly, "Old lady, Jianguo, this is not good. We were too ruthless back then. Now we have to ask the third brother for help. Can he forgive us?"
After saying this, he smoked silently, his face full of regret.
Liu Cuihua glared at him fiercely and said, "You are such a stubborn person. The third child is our life. Now that his leg is injured, why is it unreasonable for us to take care of him?
Besides, how could a daughter-in-law decide to have her son sever ties with his biological parents?"
Lu Jianguo also agreed: "Mom is right, we can't just let it go. When the third brother's leg is healed, he will definitely be promoted in the army. By then, any benefit he gives us will be enough for us to live comfortably."
While they were making plans, Lu Cheng and his family were happily having dinner.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yichen and Gao Lechuan praised Lin Yuexi's cooking skills. Lin Yuexi smiled and picked up dishes for everyone. Lu Cheng looked at this scene, his heart filled with warmth and happiness.
