The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 171 General Huo died for his country

"Aunt Xu, no, Old Madam Xu, it's you."

Su Wanwan saw the old lady first. Little Duoduo couldn't wait to play and ran fast. Old lady Xu followed Duoduo and ran ahead, and just bumped into her first.

Su Wanwan looked back and saw the county magistrate and the village head and others.

Shen Yuan's eyes dimmed. He leaned on a crutch with one hand and held Su Wanwan's hand tightly with the other.

When Old Mrs. Xu looked over, she saw a good-looking couple standing in front of her, but she didn't recognize them at first.

It's not her fault. When I saw Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan in the official media, one was covered in mud and the other had a big beard. I really couldn't compare them with the current young couple.

But she recognized the voice, and the young wife looked familiar.

"Is it Miss Su?"

Old Mrs. Xu was also surprised, and Xiao Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Sister Su, it's you."

Xiao Duoduo wanted to go over, but when he saw his sister was supporting a tall and big man, he stopped aside and didn't dare to move forward.

"It's me, Madam Xu, Duoduo."

Su Wanwan greeted her, and Old Lady Xu hurried forward to support her. She then glanced at Shen Yuan standing beside her and looked at his legs.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Aunt Xu as before."

Su Wanwan chuckled.

How can they be the same?

In ancient times, this official rank could crush people to death. But she was the mother of the county magistrate, so she had to be called old lady.

Of course, you can also call her auntie in private.

"Okay, then I will shamelessly call you aunt in private."

Shen Yuan watched from the side and saw how familiar Su Wanwan was with Old Madam Xu. It turned out that his daughter-in-law was indeed friendly and likable.

He was not ignorant of etiquette, and he immediately greeted her and called her "Old Madam Xu".

Old Mrs. Xu nodded in the end. This man seemed to have been reborn. Now he seemed to be quite compatible with Su Wanwan, like a perfect couple.

Miss Su has a pretty good eye.

Liu Daping came over with the county magistrate, and when he saw Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan, he immediately introduced them:

"Sir, that couple is Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan. We were able to harvest the wheat so quickly this time, thanks to them."

"The two farm tools were invented by Shen Yuan's wife. When the wild boars came down the mountain yesterday, it was Shen Yuan who led people to protect the grain."

Xu Huaiyuan had already learned all this from official documents. The Agriculture Department would give rewards for manufacturing new agricultural tools, so he brought them along this time.

However, he was just skimming through the official documents at the time and didn't notice the names of the two people at all.

I thought she was just an ordinary village woman, but I didn't expect it to be her.

Xu Huaiyuan also did not recognize Su Wanwan, but when Liu Daping mentioned the name, he remembered it. Then he saw that his mother had already started chatting with her, and he became more certain.

He looked over and saw a young woman in a green dress, supporting a tall man, smiling sweetly. She didn't look like an ordinary peasant woman at all.

Looking at the man again, it happened that the man's eyes also looked over, and when they met, there was no fear at all, and there was even a bit of inquiry.

That sharp gaze actually made his heart tremble, and he felt that there was a deeper meaning. Although he was leaning on a cane, his whole body exuded a murderous aura.

That aura was not that of an ordinary farmer; it was as if he was a soldier coming down from the battlefield.

Shen Yuan withdrew his gaze, and Su Wanwan also saw the county magistrate, and the two of them stepped forward to greet him.

Xu Huaiyuan raised his hand and did not let them really salute.

He glanced at Shen Yuan again, then his eyes turned to his young wife's hand which was tightly clasped, and he understood clearly.

"You don't have to be so polite. In fact, I should thank you."

Xu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze.

Liu Daping was stunned. Oh my God, why did it feel like Shen Yuan and the others knew the county magistrate?

Look at that Old Madam Xu and Shen Yuan’s wife, they seem to be very familiar with each other?

Incredible.

"I heard that Brother Shen served in the military for many years. I wonder which military camp he served in?"

The group started walking towards the wheat field, and Xu Huaiyuan seemed to be chatting unintentionally.

Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan walked behind Liu Daping. Shen Yuan paused for a moment, his lips curled slightly:

"Northwest Military Camp, General Wang's seat."

Xu Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and continued:

"But General Wang Zhenghe under General Huo's helmet?"

Shen Yuan nodded without changing his expression.

"Yes."

Su Wanwan also tightened her grip.

Shen Yuan squeezed her palm comfortingly, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Even little Duoduo stopped running and followed his grandma carefully.

Su Wanwan felt that the atmosphere was not right. Shen Yuan's real name was Huo Yuan, and she could guess that the General Huo they were talking about was him.

In the end, Old Mrs. Xu sighed softly and raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"General Huo sacrificed his life for our country in exchange for peace on the border of Daxia. It has been two years now."

Liu Daping nodded: "Yes, it's been exactly two years. I heard that the soldiers built a cenotaph for him. Yuan, do you know where it is? If I have the chance, I would also like to go and pay my respects."

Shen Yuan: ...

Shen Yuan pursed his lips tightly, and finally uttered a few words: "In Jinji Ridge."

The voice was a little hoarse, and even carried a hint of sadness.

He was not the only one who sacrificed his life for his country. So many soldiers died on the battlefield.

Su Wanwan held his hand back, feeling the heat and slight trembling coming from his palm.

Xu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yuan again.

Knowing all this, Shen Yuan must be a young soldier. No wonder he has such a majestic aura.

After General Huo defeated the Huns, the imperial court sent a princess to marry the Huns. Since then, the border has been stable. The Northwest Army reduced its troops and many soldiers returned to their hometowns.

I think Shen Yuan should be one of them.

"Whether it's General Huo, or his soldiers, or even a cook, you all deserve the respect of the common people. You are all heroes of our Great Xia Dynasty."

Xu Huaiyuan sighed sincerely, turned around, and bowed deeply to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows but did not move.

But with this bow, he seemed to see the future of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If Xu Huaiyuan can think this way, he will definitely be a good county magistrate.

If Your Majesty can promote young people like Xu Huaiyuan through this reform, the Great Xia Dynasty will surely prosper.

Zhao Qinghai, the director of the Agriculture Department, also bowed to the county magistrate willingly.

After standing up, his eyes were burning.

I had always thought that the county magistrate was a man of great courage, but I didn't expect him to be such a young man.

Liu Daping was even more shocked.

The county magistrate actually bowed to Shen Yuan.

this......

Even though Shen Yuan has been a soldier for several years, he is still a commoner now.

Thinking of what the county magistrate said, he couldn't help but feel moved again.

This county magistrate is really different from the previous ones.

He had never seen such a people-friendly county magistrate.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the wheat field.

Upon hearing that the county magistrate was coming in person, everyone bowed.

The people are still the people after all, and because of the arrival of the county magistrate, the lively atmosphere suddenly became restrained.

However, there are still many young girls and wives who secretly look at Xu Huaiyuan. After all, it is rare to see such a young and handsome county magistrate.

Several large pots were still stewing meat, and the aroma of the meat was wafting throughout the wheat field.

While the food was not yet cooked, Xu Huaiyuan asked Liu Daping to take him around the fields and asked about everyone's water storage situation.
