Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Meeting the Great General of All Guards!
 

“I won’t forget, I will never forget! I would rather die than forget.”

Your husband, Di Yelei, the mother of my children, the love of my life, the one to grow old hand in hand with!

He quietly held her, silently watching her carefully sew the protective wrist guards with every stitch, not tolerating a single flaw.

It was only when the first light of early morning came through the window lattice that the two, who had been sitting for an entire night, finally moved.

“You should get up.”

There had been no sleep at all, so how could one get up? However, Di Yelei did not argue, tightening their still clasped hands and obediently nodding: “Yes, it’s time to get up.”

He wrapped his arm around Liu Sisi’s, but didn’t make a move.

Liu Sisi also sat there quietly, leaning back in dependence and not getting up.

Time seemed to slip away quickly, and soon there was a clamor of voices outside, and not long after, even more voices could be heard.

“It’s time to get up.”

It was time to get up, and it was also time to part ways. The two stood up hand in hand, and Liu Sisi finally picked up the armor beside her, carefully putting it on him one piece at a time and tightening the straps. Then they walked slowly out of the room, hand in hand.

As soon as the room door was pushed open, a dazzling radiance shone onto people’s faces, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. Liu Sisi instinctively reached out to block it and saw that the entire courtyard outside was filled with people, almost all of the Di Residence was standing there.

“Sisi, you’re out.”

Guihua greeted her and directly held Liu Sisi’s hand, her tears flowing without speaking.

“Yes, we’re out, Sister Guihua.”

Her gaze turned to Di Yelei beside her.

From the moment they stepped out until now, Di Yelei had never let go of Liu Sisi’s hand, and at this moment Liu Sisi looked over and gazed straight into his eyes.

“There’s still a distance from here to the mansion’s gate, let’s walk together outside.”

Naturally, Liu Sisi wouldn’t refuse, smiling faintly: “Alright.”

From the courtyard to the mansion’s gate, the two did not say a single word, but walked exceptionally slowly in unison. In just a short distance, they took the time of two pots of tea to walk.

However, no matter how slowly the two walked, there was bound to be a moment when they reached such a short distance.

As the gate of the Di Residence was pushed open, the crowd of dense trusted soldiers immediately knelt down and shouted in unison.

“Subordinates pay respects to the Great General of All Guards!”@@novelbin@@

“Pay respects to the Great General of All Guards!”

“Pay respects to the Great General of All Guards!”

The shouts of the trusted soldiers stirred the blood of everyone! Everyone’s eyes gathered on Di Yelei, and cheers and exultation filled the air.

As soon as he stepped out of the Di Residence gate, Di Yelei slowly let go of Liu Sisi’s hand. He slowly took his gaze from Liu Sisi and strode forward to stand in front of everyone.

“This time we are going mainly to escort the Imperial Presence all the way north back to the capital city. Although the journey is extremely dangerous, opportunities and wealth often accompany danger. Do you have the determination to fight valiantly with this general and head north?”

“Swear to follow the Great General to the death!”

“Swear to follow the Great General to the death!”

“Swear to follow the Great General to the death!”

The shouts grew louder and louder, the whole scene was boiling with enthusiasm.

Seeing that everyone’s emotions were stirred up, Di Yelei nodded with satisfaction, leaped onto his horse, took a long spear and pointed it forward.

“Very well! Now is the time for us to defend our country to the death! Let’s go!”

“Defend our home and country! Defend our home and country! Defend our home and country! Charge!…”

The massive crowd followed Di Yelei’s fast horse. Zhang Peng patted Guihua’s shoulder and jumped onto the horseback, chasing after them.

Guihua could no longer hold back her tears and buried herself in Liu Sisi’s arms, sobbing loudly.

“Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng! Zhang Peng…”

Liu Sisi gently patted her shoulder, but her gaze remained fixed on the street corner where Di Yelei had disappeared, and no tears fell on her face.

Ye Lei, don’t forget what I said, I will be waiting right here for you to return!

Do not, do not ever forget!

Autumn went and spring came, and the flowers bloomed and withered through the passing seasons.

Time seemed to flow like water, and unknowingly, a few pages had been turned.

A rumble of thunder boomed overhead and torrential rain accompanied the sound, falling on the banana leaves, making a crackling noise.

Soon, raindrops turned into a downpour, blurring everything within sight.

A few small black dots suddenly appeared in the distance and rapidly grew larger as they raced toward the corner of the eaves.

Only when they got closer was it clear that it was two boys and a girl about four or five years old – all of them soaking wet.

“Oh no! It’s all because Niuniu is too fat and slow, making all of us wet like drowned rats! How can we explain this to Mom later? What should we do now?”

A chubby boy shook the rain from his body, constantly complaining.

“Where am I fat? Wuu…”

The girl beside him pouted, and her eyes filled with tears, ready to cry.

“Stop it! Damn! You’re not Bai Suzhen, and I’m not Monk Fahai. Let me tell you, you’d better not try to flood Jinshan Temple again!” The boy spoke without any mercy.

The girl burst into tears: “Third Brother is so mean! Wuu… Mom! Third Brother always bullies me. Waa…” High-pitched cries rang out.

The chubby boy helplessly pulled at his ear, rolling his eyes.

“Girls are so annoying. All they do is cry and complain! Annoying! Little brother, am I right?”

The boy called “little brother” had been standing quietly in a corner. When he heard this, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed to himself. He must have owed these two in his past life; that was why he became their little brother this time around.

“Little brother, say something! Hurry up! The levee might break! Xiao Xiao…”

The chubby boy couldn’t take it anymore, and he grabbed the absent-minded “little brother” again.

“I’ve told you a thousand times not to call me Xiao Xiao!”

The boy gnashed his teeth, wishing to punch him: “Chou Chou, let me tell you, young master is in a terrible mood right now, and you’d better not provoke me. And whoever made Niuniu cry has to coax her – don’t expect me to help this time!”

“You already call me Chou Chou, and as your Third Brother, why can’t I call you…”

Chou Chou’s words trailed off under the other boy’s glare.

He muttered something indistinguishable under his breath and kicked a small stone on the ground.

“Young Master, Miss, Young Master…”

A cry rang out, and soon, a woman dressed as a maid appeared in front of them.
