When Ye Hongchang said this, the others didn't care about fighting and ran towards the entrance of the village with sticks.

Their relatives may be inside. They have been waiting for so long, and they are finally back.

Ye Hongchang didn't care about the duck house at this time, so he turned around and left.

After a while, only the group of government officials were left standing there, at a loss.

What does this mean?

To dismantle or not to dismantle?

Now that there is no one to stop them, they dare not take action at will. The leader said, "Let's take a look first. I don't know who those people are."

Ye Hongchang led people and ran to the entrance of the village. Wang heard the noise and also led people to run to the entrance of the village.

Suddenly, the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village.

Ye Hongshun rode his horse into the village. After seeing his relatives, he jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Wang with a plop.

Mrs. Wang couldn't believe this was true. She reached out and touched Ye Hongshun's face, "Hongshun, are you Hongshun?"

Ye Hongshun's face was filled with tears. He held Mrs. Wang's hand and kept nodding, "It's me, mother. I'm back. I will be filial to you in the future."

After being separated for a year, how could he not miss his family? He had experienced a lot in the past year, and he almost couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to come back to see his family several times.

Everyone behind them also dismounted, including Ye Hongting, Ye Shaodong, Song Mingchang, and others. None of the twelve people who left at the beginning were missing.

Everyone found their families and cried in each other's arms.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the other people and counted them. There were all of them. She felt relieved and held her son's hand tightly.

"Good boy, it's good to be back. It's not easy being outside this year, right?"

There was so much to say, Ye Hongshun didn't even know where to start.

He raised his head to find where Zhou was, saw the person, and quickly walked towards Zhou, grabbing Wang and refusing to let go.

Zhou was stunned at this moment. She had always refused to believe that Ye Hongshun was dead, but when the person actually appeared in front of her, she still couldn't believe it.

Seeing her stunned, Ye Hongshun was not in a hurry and looked at the child in her arms. Xingjia actually stretched out his hand to let him hold it.

Only then did Zhou come to his senses, "This...this is your son. I'll name him Xingjia."

She stuttered a bit when she spoke, and put Xingjia in his arms, but the child seemed to have known him for a long time, stretching out his hands and babbling.

Ye Hongshun's hands holding him were shaking a little, "My son?"

Mrs. Wang smiled with tears in her eyes, "Yes, you and your wife finally have a child. The whole family likes this child very much, but you have never seen him."

Ye Hongshun didn't expect that his child would be so old. Zhou was pregnant when he left, but after so many hardships, he didn't dare to think whether the child was still there.

Over the past year, he had forced himself to pretend that the child did not exist, so as not to feel uncomfortable when he knew the result.

Who knew it was a surprise, this was his son.

Ye Hongshun directly lifted Xingjia up, "My son, this is my son."

When the others saw this, they couldn't stop laughing. Ye Shaodong said, "I know you have a son, why are you showing off like this?"

Ye Hongshun was so happy that he held the child and raised it high, and Xingjia giggled, making everyone laugh.

This is not the place to talk. After everyone was happy, they thought about talking again when they went home.

Ye Hongshun had just noticed that there were official servants in the village, and he seemed to have had a dispute with his family. At this moment, the official servants were all looking this way. He asked, "Second brother, what's going on with these people?"

Ye Hongchang shook his head, "Ignore them. It's a happy event for you to come back today. Let's talk about it when we go home."

With that said, I really don't care about the government officials. Everyone goes back and asks them what they have experienced outside this year.

The yamen servant was even more confused, "Boss, are we still demolishing it?"

The leader said, "What are you tearing down? Didn't you see they were wearing military boots? Go back and report to Lord Ming first."

"Yes."

The Ye family sat together and talked, and Xingjia stayed in Ye Hongshun's arms and refused to leave. As long as Zhou hugged him, he would cry immediately.

Wang said with a smile, "This child has never gotten along with you since he was a child, but he is very close to you. I think he knows that you are his father."

Ye Hongshun simply kept holding him and said gently to Mrs. Zhou, "Just let me hold him. You have worked hard this year. I will take care of him in the future."

With tears in her eyes, Zhou said with a choked voice, "As long as you can come back, I don't care how hard it is."

God, thank you for bringing him back.

The Kang in the east room was full of people. Ye Xiangxiang and Ye Lixuan each held a small stool and sat on the edge. They were both curious about how Ye Hongshun spent this year.

After a while, Ye Hongchang asked, "Hongshun, what exactly happened this year? I went out to inquire several times, but there was no news at all."

They came back on horseback today and seemed to be doing well outside.

Ye Hongchang had been a soldier, so it was obvious that he was wearing military boots. I was just curious as to why he joined the army.

Logically speaking, it would be very difficult without household registration. Ye Hongchang couldn't figure out how they did it.

Ye Hongshun answered their doubts in one sentence, "It was General An who helped us. We were almost at the end of our rope and were almost captured by the Xiliang soldiers. General An ordered his men to save us."

"When we encountered a provocation from the Kingdom of Shu, General An was ordered to lead troops to the border. He asked us if we wanted to live and if we wanted to perform meritorious service. If we refused at that time, we could come back earlier. Just to repay the favor of saving our lives, a group of us They all stayed in the army.”

"Now that the war has been won and we have made meritorious service, we are going to Yongxing Prefecture with General An to report on our duties. We will pass through Wushan County on the way. General An promised us a fast horse and asked us to come back first to report that we are safe."

He said it very simply, but everyone in the family knew that this year must be full of hardships, otherwise not even a letter would be sent back.

Moreover, they were originally from Xiliang, and General An was already showing mercy by recruiting them into the army. It was impossible for them to be exposed to core military affairs, for fear that they would be doing the most dangerous work.

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's good to be back. Now my wish can be fulfilled."

Ye Hongchang said, "I didn't expect this to be the case. So, you can't stay long after you come back. Are you going to Yongxing Mansion?"

Ye Hongshun nodded, "Yes, General An said that if we have made meritorious service, the prince will reward us, so he asked us to go together to receive the reward."

The whole family is happy for him and he has achieved military exploits, which is a good thing.

After talking in the upper room for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu hurriedly went to cook.

Ye Hongshun came back suddenly. Everyone was so happy that they were giddy. If they kept waiting, they would be hungry tonight.

The two sisters also secretly wiped away their tears, and Mrs. Liu said, "My brother and sister did not wait in vain."

Ms. Li smiled and said, "Yes, it makes me feel bad to see her in a daze all day long. It's good now. The third child is finally back."
