I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

Lu Qiyi patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Don't blame you. No one knew we were being followed at the time."

Seeing that the Lu family had sincerely looked for his father, Lu Jingchuan's mood was not so bad anymore.

He didn't really care whether he recognized his relatives or not, he just wanted to know what happened to his father.

Why did he come to Baiyun Village for refuge, and why didn't he say a word about his family?

He has lived in Baiyun Village for so many years, why have his family members never come to look for him? Is it that they are all gone, or they simply don't want to look for him?

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he knew that his father was not from Baiyun Village. He loved cleanliness, reading, and a good taste for life. He would decorate the house beautifully, and even though his family was poor, he would pick fresh flowers and put them in the room.

He was a very particular person, and even when he was eating boiled potatoes, he would describe them as delicious, as if they were eating meat.

In the summer, the family would lie at the doorstep to watch the stars and enjoy the cool air. The father would fan them with a palm-leaf fan while telling them stories.

He had many wonderful stories that they had never heard before, and he would always pester his father to tell them for a long time.

Lu Jingchuan loved following his father since he was young. After his father died, the youngest child seemed to mature overnight and took on the burden of the family on his own initiative.

He joined the army and mailed all his allowances back home to support his family.

He inherited his father's responsibilities. Like his father back then, he went from not knowing how to do farm work to gradually becoming the backbone of the family and the main force in earning work points.

He also climbed up step by step from a knowledgeable soldier to a highly praised commander of the Lu Regiment in the army.

Now a Lu family suddenly appears, and keeps saying that he looks like so and so.

It was as if he was erasing his father's efforts over the years. He was not like any of them. He was only like his father. For so many years, his guiding light had always been his father.

They knew that Lu Jingchuan might have some misunderstandings about these relatives who suddenly appeared.

Lu Qiyi, the only calm person at the scene, took the initiative to explain what happened that year.

He did not exaggerate and favor his side. He remembered what happened back then clearly. When his brother disappeared, they could not look for him in a high-profile manner. They could only send more people to look for him quietly.

I guess I was afraid of bringing trouble to my family, so I concealed my personal information and hid in Baiyun Village.

After all, at that time, my family had just been betrayed and no one around me dared to believe it.

After their father's case was vindicated, the family began to search for him in a big way.

But after searching for many years, I still couldn't find the person.

Because of this incident, Lu's mother passed away early, and Lu's father's health became worse year by year.

The children in the family are also continuing to pay attention to the affairs of their long-missing third uncle, and will go looking for him as soon as they get any news.

Over the years, they have had hopes, but more often disappointments.

Lu Jingchuan had been listening silently. He heard that the Lu family had not given up looking for his father all these years. Even now, when they heard any news about his father, they would still rush over without hesitation.

He decided to recognize this family.

Because, when my father was dying, he mumbled a few words, saying that he really wanted to go back and see them again.

The Lu family lives up to my father's expectations.

He will treat the Lu family well on behalf of his father.

"Son, I was sorry for your father and failed to protect him." Old Master Lu reached out his hand tremblingly and held Lu Jingchuan's hand, his voice a little hoarse, "Please forgive me."

"Old General, I'm sorry. My attitude was not good just now." Lu Jingchuan held the other person's hand and bowed his head to apologize.

"It's okay." The old man's expression relaxed a little, and he asked again: "Can you tell me more about your father?"

"My father..."

"Your father, is he..." The old man seemed to have guessed something, tears suddenly fell, "Is he...passed away?"

"Dad..." Lu Qiyi and Lu Chenhua spoke at the same time.

"Hmm..." Lu Jingchuan nodded gently. His father had passed away many years ago, but facing the old man at this moment, he suddenly felt the same way. His heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and it hurt again and again. His chest felt sore and blocked. Tears wanted to flow out of his eyes, but he had to force them back.

"Brother Chuan." Ji Xiaoxi noticed his emotions, reached out and took his other hand, inserted her fingers into his fingers, and clasped the two hands tightly together.

"It's okay." Lu Jingchuan replied softly.

"How did Shuyu... die?" The old man asked with some difficulty, and it took him a lot of effort to finish asking these words.

"He died of illness. The family had no money to go to the county town for treatment. He got some Chinese medicine from an old doctor in the village, but after taking it for a month without getting better, my father decided not to take it anymore. He reeked of medicine and looked haggard.

Before he died, he asked me to pick a few bouquets of flowers.

He loved flowers, and when he died he took with him the flowers I gave him.

At the last moment before he died, he said with a smile on his face that he really wanted to see them again.

This "they" should refer to you."

Lu Jingchuan's tone was calm, but sobbing sounds were heard around him.

The old man in front of him burst into tears.

Lu Qiyi and Lu Chenhua's eyes were both red.

Lu Shanming hugged her brother and cried loudly. Her brother patted her back in a hoarse voice and coaxed her not to cry.

Ji Xiaoxi lowered her head, her tears fell to the ground, and two small flowers bloomed.

Lu Jingchuan quietly handed over his sleeve and wiped it for her.

"Jingchuan, let's stop here for today. You guys stay for dinner. I'll help the old man to rest for a while." Lu Chenhua wiped his eyes and helped the old man up. "Dad, you're not in good health. Don't get too excited. I'll help you to rest for a while."

The old man seemed to be still immersed in his own thoughts, muttering something with red eyes.

"Uncle Lu, give Grandpa Lu a sleeping pill and let him have a good sleep. This incident has dealt a heavy blow to the old man. It will be better for his health if he takes a nap to calm down." Ji Xiaoxi handed over a small bottle of pills. "Don't worry, this is made of pure Chinese herbal medicine and has no side effects."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Chenhua took the pill and nodded in thanks.

Lu Chenhua helped the old man leave, and Lu Qiyi took Lu Jingchuan and Ji Xiaoxi to the guest room to rest. "Jingchuan, you guys take a rest in the guest room first. I'll send someone to notify you when dinner is ready."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Lu." Ji Xiaoxi thanked him.

"Brother Chuan, are you planning to recognize the Lu family?" Ji Xiaoxi asked as she sat next to Lu Jingchuan.

"Yeah." Lu Jingchuan nodded, "Father has actually always been thinking about the Lu family. Over the years, the Lu family has never given up looking for father. Their feelings are two-way, and I think father should also hope that we can recognize the Lu family.

I will tell my mother and eldest brother about this tomorrow."
