The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 122 There are good people all around

Chapter 122 There are good people all around
Just as the Luo Ping family was having lunch, some villagers passed by not far away.

After seeing Li Dafeng, they all greeted her enthusiastically.

"Dafeng, are you here to bring food to your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dafeng also responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Zhang."

"I just made a simple lunch and brought it to my parents."

The visitor was a woman in her forties, her husband's surname was Zhang. She rode over on a horse and saw the food of Luo Ping's family on the ground.

With a look of surprise on his face, he gave a compliment and said, "Oh, it smells delicious. Dafeng's cooking skills are pretty good."

"No, I just made something casually, just ordinary food." Dafeng smiled embarrassedly.

She knew her own skills and could only say that they were above average, not as exaggerated as Aunt Zhang said.

If there is any difference, it is that there is more meat in today's meal.

After all, if you have to do farm work intensively for several days in a row, you really can't survive without some meat.

"It smells so good no matter how casually you make it. If you practice your craft more, the food will be so delicious that it will kill you." Aunt Zhang is also a good talker.

He kept talking and saying nice things, which made Dafeng blush.

"Dafeng is beautiful, capable, and cooks delicious food."

"Your family's Da Meng is so lucky to have such a good wife like Da Feng."

"My cat is no good. It's clumsy and only crows but doesn't lay eggs. It's so frustrating."

I heard Aunt Zhang holding Li Dafeng's arm and she started talking about her daughter-in-law again.

Li Dafeng couldn't stand it any longer and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang is not bad either."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes and snorted, "I've given birth to two money-losing babies in a row. What good is that?"

"As for you, Dafeng, your belly is so pointed, this baby is definitely a boy."

Luo's mother also became excited when she heard this. Now, nothing was more important to her than the baby in Li Dafeng's belly.

So the two women began to exchange their experiences in this area.

In the end, Luo Ping couldn't bear it anymore.

He took a big bite of the freshly baked Hu pancake and swallowed it, then drank a mouthful of mutton soup, glanced at the two troublesome old women and said.

"Old Zhang, aren't you going to fetch some water? If you keep talking like this, Old Zhang and the others will die of thirst."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang immediately realized that she had delayed for a long time.

He jumped on his horse, carrying several large bags of water, and headed for the river.

After she walked away, Luo Ping said to Luo's mother and Li Dafeng, "You two, stop listening to her nonsense in the future."

"This old woman's mouth is like a blessing, she can talk more than those bald donkeys."

Luo Ping shook his head, looking helpless.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Luo's mother snorted and said, "Now I find her annoying."

"When you were young, who was the one who always went to other people's houses?"

Luo Ping's face turned a little unnatural when he heard this, and he said angrily, "I was going to see Lao Zhang."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Dafeng also shook his head secretly.

Don’t think that the older generation is feudal. In fact, they spend more money than young people.

Especially in winter, when heavy snow blocks the door, if the man is not at home, just wait for someone to knock on the door.

Shortly after Aunt Zhang left, several other women came over to say hello, and without exception, they all praised Li Dafeng.

She said she would definitely give birth to a big fat boy and so on.

In the past, although the Luo family was the lord of Hedong Fort, their status was not so high.

Now that Li Dafeng has a younger brother who is a deputy governor, he feels that his life is slowly changing.

There will be no more trivial matters to argue with her about.

Everyone gave her an innocent smile.

This made Li Dafeng sigh inwardly: "There are only good people around here."

Luo Ping had four sons, Luo Meng was the eldest.

After the family had lunch, Luo's mother asked her youngest son to go to the river to fetch water.

Then he looked at the five slaves. Three of them had completed their tasks and were each given a Hu pancake as lunch.

The remaining two women had no choice but to starve.

After this lesson, I will definitely work hard in the future, even if it’s just to have food to eat.

"Dafeng, go back and rest!"

After lunch, Luo's mother urged Li Dafeng to go home.

"It's okay, mother. I can work. I'm not that delicate."

As he said that, Li Dafeng ignored Luo's mother's obstruction, picked up the sickle and went to the field to harvest wheat.

Her movements are quite skillful, after all, she learned them at her mother's house since she was a child.

Luo's mother wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Luo Ping: "Okay, let Dafeng stay."

Then he reminded me that if I felt uncomfortable, I should not move.

With the addition of Li Dafeng, the work in the fields became faster.

But not long after, a faint sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

Luo Ping's ears moved, his eyes immediately became sharp, and he looked up into the distance.

Like him, there were many other Hedong villagers, all looking alert as they walked towards their warhorses.

Fortunately, a shout soon came from the distance: "Da Meng and the others are back."

After hearing this, everyone slowly felt relieved.

Looking at the black shadows of the cavalry army in the distance, they really look like Han people.

The most excited person was Luo's mother.

She immediately put down the sickle in her hand, stood on tiptoe and looked around, her face full of excitement.

"The boss is back?"

"Where's the second brother? Has he come back?"

Li Dafeng also smiled, holding Luo's mother's arm, and said with a smile: "Mom, now that Da Meng is back, Er Zhu will definitely be there."

Before that, Luo Ping brought back most of the men in Hedong Fort to harvest grain.

Only a few young men were left to serve Li Xiao, including Luo Meng and his younger brother Luo Zhu.

Li Dafeng also knew that Luo Meng had also made contributions in this war and had been granted the title of centurion.

The second son, Luo Zhu, was granted the title of Shihu.

The whole family was rewarded and became successful.

This made Li Dafeng very happy.

From now on, the Luo family will have better and better lives.

As the large group of cavalry approached, the herdsmen of Hedongbao in the distance began to exclaim in surprise one after another.

"It's the governor."

"The governor has come to our Hedong Fort."

"Captain!"

The men of Hedong Fort looked at a figure among the cavalry in the distance and cheered loudly.

The governor here is naturally not Xiao Linta, but Li Xiao.

They had all followed Li Xiao on his journey, first raiding Sanhe Fort, then Wuya Village, and then the expedition against the Naimans.

The Four Hexi Forts can be said to be Li Xiao's most direct descendants, and they have followed him firmly from the very beginning.

Similarly, these men in Hedong Fort witnessed with their own eyes how Li Xiao rose step by step.

From the Lord of Hexi Fort, he became the powerful Deputy Governor of Jinzhou.

The limelight even overshadowed Xiao Linta, the governor of Jinzhou.

In a word, Li Xiao is a child of Hexi Sibao, and he is also the pride of the Han people in Jinzhou.

So, many days later, when these men from Hedong Fort saw Li Xiao again, they couldn't help but shout.

Although Xiao Linta is the nominal governor of Jinzhou, in their hearts, Li Xiao is the only governor.

Only Li Xiao is worthy of the title of Governor.

Li Xiao was riding on his horse, waving and greeting the herdsmen with a smile on his face.

These people are his foundation!
Not long after, Li Xiao and his group stopped in front of Luo Ping's family's fields.

Luo Ping had already brought people here to welcome them.

"Uncle Luo, how have you been these past few days?"

"I brought my brother-in-law and Zhuzi back to you safely."

Li Xiao jumped off his horse and laughed at Luo Ping.

Behind him stood the two brothers Luo Meng and Luo Zhu.

"Dad, mother~"

The two brothers stepped forward and shouted to Luo Ping and his wife.

Afterwards, Luo Meng couldn't wait to walk towards Li Dafeng.

He gently held her waist and his other hand fell on her stomach.

An excited look appeared on his face, as if he had seen the light, and his heart was lifted.

She said in surprise, "I've only been away for less than three months, and your belly is already this big!"

When the war broke out, Li Dafeng had just discovered that she was pregnant, but Luo Ping and his son had to go to the battlefield.

What followed was an endless battle to attack the Naiman.

It lasted for more than two months.

When he came back again, Luo Meng felt as if he was in another world. When he touched his belly, he seemed to have a wonderful feeling of blood connection.

Li Xiao also walked up and looked at Li Dafeng's belly gently.

He smacked his lips and said, "I'm almost going to be an uncle."

This child is the first of the next generation of the Li family's bloodline. Although he is not a child of the Li family, he is still related by blood after all.

"Yeah, Dalong, you're going to be an uncle soon."

"And you two, Da Hu and Er Hu, stop hiding behind."

"I see you."

Li Dafeng sneered and called Dahu and Erhu over.

"Sister~"

"Miss!"

The two brothers came forward and shouted with a laugh.

Li Dafeng is the oldest child of their generation.

Although she is a girl, she has had a boy's temper since she was young.

When they were young, they beat their younger brothers a lot.

Both Dahu and Erhu are a little afraid of her.

"You guys have all grown up~"

"You're all grown-ups!"

Li Dafeng looked at his three younger brothers in front of him, feeling both happy and sad.

As he spoke, tears began to flow.

"If our father saw what you have accomplished today, he would be so happy."

Li Dafeng wiped her tears gently, thinking of her father who died in battle a few months ago, and Luo Meng hurried to comfort her.

Dahu and Erhu also became a little depressed.

Only Li Xiao sighed and said, "Sister, don't cry."

"The dead cannot be resurrected, and my father would definitely hope that we all live well."

Li Dafeng shook her head gently and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm not sad, I'm happy."

"Seeing you all grow up, each of you has become so brave and strong, and has made countless achievements."

"Sister, I am happy."

In fact, she felt distressed!
Although Li Xiao became the deputy governor of Jinzhou, Dahu and Erhu also became centurions.

It looks majestic and glorious.

But Li Dafeng keenly noticed the bloodstains on the leather armor they were wearing.

Although it has dried up and looks like it has been washed.

But there was too much blood and it was impossible to clean it off.

Seeing the blood on their bodies, Li Dafeng couldn't help but think of the dangers they had experienced on the battlefield.

They are only in their teens.

Without his father's protection, he had to go to the battlefield alone. He didn't know how many fights and dangers he experienced.

This is how we have achieved our current achievements and status.

Li Dafeng was happy for his three younger brothers, but he felt more distressed.

Of course, when she sees the scars on Luo Meng's body at night, she will probably forget about her three younger brothers and feel sorry for her husband.

"If you are happy, don't cry. It's not good for the child." Li Xiao walked up to her and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Then he called out to Dahu and asked him to bring the things over.

"Look, I brought you something."

"This is authentic Shu brocade."

"We looted it after we captured Naiman Taiyang Khan's old camp."

"Unfortunately, most of them were taken away early by the Sun Khan."

"I only got ten."

"These two are for you. Make some nice clothes. The birth of your eldest nephew must be a happy occasion."

"Give our grandmother two more horses, our mother two more, and our second aunt two more."

"Give the remaining two horses to Erfeng and the other three girls."

Li Xiao handed two pieces of Shu brocade to Li Dafeng with a smile.

The Naiman tribe was the overlord of the western grassland and was considered relatively wealthy on the grassland.
