Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 474 I Can’t Come Back Even On My Birthday (3)
Especially the closer to the place where the lanterns are placed by the river, the more crowded it gets.If she hadn't gritted her teeth and squeezed in for the sake of the children, she would have been pushed behind the crowd long ago.Later, it was Gao Fei who couldn't bear to see her, and pulled her in front of him. He opened his arms to embrace her and the child, and used his arms to block other people.

The lanterns and river lanterns are mediocre, but maybe it was because it was so hard to catch a glimpse, and there are passers-by who are full of interest, not to mention the three children, even Yuan Lu watched it with gusto.

It's just that Gao Fei had to lift his arms for more than half an hour, not to mention how many hits he had on his back and waist.It's the first time for Duke Cheng to be crowded with so many people when he grows up so big.But looking down, he could see Yuan Lu's smiling side face and feel the excitement of the children cheering, and he felt that everything was worth it.

After seeing the lanterns and river lanterns, the number of people on the street gradually decreased.

Gao Fei and the others walked out of the city. The children were excited to play, and Yuan Lu was also in a good mood. They talked and laughed with him along the way, and returned to the farmhouse before feeling it.

Until that day before falling asleep, Yuan Lu and the three children lay down on the same kang after taking a bath, while Brother Che was still chattering happily.Brother Hong and sister Xi would also interject a few sentences from time to time.

Laughter came from the room from time to time, Gao Fei stood outside for a while, and unconsciously laughed along with it.

On August 30th of the seventh year of Tongqing, Emperor Tongqing led an army of [-] to the border after holding a sacrifice to heaven.In November, Emperor Tongqing led his army northward to the Onan River.The Onan River is the birthplace of Genghis Khan and a sacred place in the eyes of the Mongolians.The two armies fought fiercely on the Onan River for several days, and the Ming army defeated the main force of the Tatar central army.Emperor Tongqing rejoiced, took advantage of the victory and pursued, vowing to capture the Tatar Khan alive.The Tatar Khan fled westward in a hurry with only a few bodyguards.

At that time, Yuan Lu was already preparing for a new farmhouse here. It looked ordinary from the outside, and the interior decoration was simple, but the things used were durable and comfortable, and it finally made people feel at home.

Brother Hong and Brother Che went to the ethnology class of a family surnamed Zhao in Yi County. I heard that this family was considered a big family in the north when the great ancestor was, but during the war, none of the direct descendants survived. People moved away with their offshoots.

During this period, Gao Fei often went out, going out for three or four days in the first ten days, and then came back for a few days in a month.

Yuan Lu didn't know where he went or what he was up to, but she didn't ask if he didn't tell.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and it was bitterly cold at the border, and many of Dayao's troops were not resistant to the cold and got sick.Tatar Khan took the opportunity to entangle his old troops and launched a deadly counterattack.When the enemy was outnumbered, although Dayao had a numerical advantage, his morale was low. After being attacked a few times, he became even more energetic. Even Emperor Tong Qing was infected with the cold, and it didn't get better after a long time.

Gao Fei became more and more busy, and he couldn't even come back to celebrate his birthday with his family in the twelfth lunar month.

But at the end of the year, Emperor Tongqing issued an imperial decree to send Gao Fei back to the capital in eight hundred miles, and restored Gao Fei's position as deputy general of Zhengbei, and asked him to lead another [-] troops to support overnight.
