The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 304 Xue Yaoxi Arrives at Shatu Village (4)
"Auntie, the war at the border has ceased and peace talks are underway. Brother will be back in two or three months." Shen Xuan said aloud.

The news of Shen Xuan sounded like thunder in the Shen family's ears, which was unexpected.

After Aunt Shen came to her senses, she hurriedly asked Shen Xuan excitedly, "Really? Xiao Xuan, are you right?"

"Uncle, this is true, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Shen Xuan replied while nodding.

"That's great. That's great, the eldest son is finally coming back." Aunt Shen received Shen Xuan's reaffirmed answer, she was relieved, and kept talking excitedly.The son traveled thousands of miles, and the mother was worried. Over the past few years, Aunt Shen's heart has been carrying, because of the eldest son who is far away at the border and the second son who disappeared.

"You child, why are you talking about such an important matter now?" Zhou Shi "complained" to Shen Xuan after seeing the family's expressions.

"Me." Shen Xuan whispered, just about to say that she forgot, but was robbed by Xue Yaoxi.

"Auntie, I won't let you talk about this." Xue Yaoxi said aloud, not wanting the Shen family to misunderstand Shen Xuan.After seeing everyone's questioning eyes, he continued to explain, "In order to celebrate, the emperor will announce this news today, and it will be about a month after it reaches here. If it is before then, the Shen family will disclose this news first. If you go out, it will be harmful to the Shen family."

"Grandpa, I have to listen to Big Brother Xue. If this news spreads from our Shen family, it will cause trouble. At that time, everyone will definitely wonder how our Shen family knew about it, and how we could get the news earlier than the emperor. Brother Qiu interjected, pointing out the serious relationship here, and reminding the family members not to tell this matter.

"Yes, this matter must be kept secret. You guys have sealed your mouths tightly, and this news is not allowed to leak out. Especially you women, when chatting with other people, don't tell this matter." Shen Grandpa exhorted solemnly.

When everyone heard Brother Qiu say that the matter was related to the royal family, they became more cautious, and they all promised that they would never tell the matter.In fact, what Brother Qiu said was a bit exaggerated. If they were so cautious in the capital, it would be very important. If they were in the village, they could relax a little bit, because the villagers are simple, and there are so many twists and turns in their hearts!However, such a style is still very good, Shen Xuan thought so.

"How did Yaoxi know this news?" Uncle Shen asked aloud.

In the previous conversation, they only knew that Xue Yaoxi was an officer who was trained as a soldier, and they didn't know anything else, including Xue Yaoxi's tragic identity.

"This junior has been at the border for the past two years, working on behalf of the emperor." Xue Yaoxi simply replied.

Hearing Xue Yaoxi's answer, the Shen family also knew that they couldn't ask more about this matter, so they changed the subject.

"Father, mother, why don't you go back to the house and sleep first?" Just after Xu Shi, Zhou proposed to Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen, worried about the health of the two elders.

"Yes, father and mother, you can go to bed first, we just stay here and watch over." Uncle Shen said in agreement.

"Forget it, I'm old and can't hold on anymore, so we'll go back to the house first." Grandpa Shen said aloud after looking at Grandma Shen's face.

Hearing Grandpa Shen's answer, Aunt Shen quickly got up and was about to send Grandma Shen back to her room.It has to be said that although Aunt Shen is somewhat unpleasant in character, her filial piety to the elderly is true.

After seeing Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen leave, everyone remembered that Xue Yaoxi was still by his side.Thinking that Xue Yaoxi must be very tired after coming all the way, Father Shen said, "Yaoxi must be tired too, Brother Qiu, you brothers and sisters should go back first."

"Yes, let the children go back together." Uncle Shen agreed.

Xue Yaoxi's body was indeed very tired. Hearing everyone's proposal, he did not force himself, and obediently agreed.In the end, all the children of Shen Xuan's generation left the old house, and only six adults were left to watch the old age.

Brother Qiu took Shen Shuoxing home first to prepare a room for Xue Yaoxi to rest, and Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan sent the two children of Uncle Shen's family home together.At this moment, Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan were walking home, chatting casually.Fortunately, at night, the villagers are all watching the new year at home, and there is no "tryst" between the two alone.

"You must have suffered a lot in the past two years at the border, right?" Shen Xuan asked whatever came to mind.

"Fortunately, it's not that hard." Xue Yaoxi replied indifferently.

Originally, he was a person who didn't care about external conditions. He was in the border or in the capital. To Xue Yaoxi, this environment didn't make much difference.It's just that at the border, if you don't see Shen Xuan, you will feel a sense of yearning in your heart, worrying that Shen Xuan will make up with other men in the days when he is not in the capital.This is also the reason why Xue Yaoxi revealed the relationship between the two of them when he arrived at Shen's house.Now that he is back, of course he wants to declare his sovereignty.

"By the way, did you plan everything out today, otherwise how could you have prepared so many gifts?" Shen Xuan asked after recalling what happened after meeting Xue Yaoxi today.

Xue Yaoxi didn't answer, but through the other party's undisguised chuckle, Shen Xuan also understood.Thinking of the other party rushing to Shatu Village not far away.In order to see the "grievance" that the Shen family deliberately mentioned, the gift prepared for everyone in the Shen family, Shen Xuan's heart was full of mixed emotions, and she admitted that she was happy with her in front of the family. How could she make the man in front of her pay so much attention? , for her to be so careful.

"Are you angry?" Seeing that Shen Xuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Xue Yaoxi asked cautiously, worried that Shen Xuan would be unhappy because of his tricks.

See the fear in each other's eyes.Worried, Shen Xuan knew that the other party was different, so she hurriedly explained, "I'm not angry, but I'm more touched, and I came here all the way."

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, there was a pang of sadness in her heart, the other party's intentions were too serious.With the light from the lantern hanging high at the gate, Shen Xuan clearly saw the exhaustion on the other party's face, and touched the other party's cheek with her hand unconsciously, with mist in her eyes, and said in a choked tone, "You It doesn't have to be so hard."

"Fool, I enjoy it. You know the life I have lived since I was a child, and now I can appear in the Shen family and be by your side, I am very satisfied." Xue Yaoxi explained in a gentle tone.

Hearing Xue Yaoxi's explanation, the tears in Shen Xuan's eyes could not be controlled, and slowly flowed out.

"Don't cry, my heart hurts." Xue Yaoxi comforted her, wiping the tears on Shen Xuan's face clumsily as she spoke, worried that the rough palms would make Shen Xuan uncomfortable, so she never dared to use force.

"You!" Xue Yaoxi put down his palm, looked at the woman with tears on her face, sighed helplessly, and carefully squeezed her into her arms, caring for her like a treasure.
