Chapter 230 The Two Brothers Recognize Each Other
"Auntie Ayue, I'm Dajun, and this is my younger brother Xiaojun."
"Dajun and Xiaojun?" Aunt A Yue stared at the brothers' faces. It took her a while to react, then she pulled Dajun forward.
Auntie Ayue was running while shouting, "Old Second, Lu Old Second, Dajun and Xiaojun are back."
At the entrance of Lu Ji Shaobing Shop, a middle-aged man with a mature face was hunching over and picking up sesame cakes from a wooden tray.
Then I heard the confinement nanny shouting, "Old Second, Lu Old Second, Dajun and Xiaojun are back."
"Sister-in-law Ayue, who did you say is back?"
"Dajun and Xiaojun."
"Dajun and Xiaojun?" The middle-aged man looked at the tall and handsome young man behind A Yue's wife and was a little afraid to speak.
Dajun looked several times before he recognized that this middle-aged man, who was so old that he could hardly recognize him, was his second uncle.
The middle-aged man only dared to look up when he saw the noble young man calling him "Second Uncle." But he couldn't confirm that the wealthy young man in front of him was his eldest nephew.
Looking at his dazed uncle, Dajun rushed over and knelt at his feet.
Uncle Lu looked at the noble young man in front of him, and he gradually found that he was similar to the young boy in his memory. With a trembling hand, he gently brushed the boy's forehead and eyebrows. "Dajun's forehead and eyebrows look like my elder brother."
Uncle Lu's words broke down the defenses of both the uncle and nephew.
Xiaojun looked at his uncle and brother, who were crying and hugging each other. He didn't know what to do. If he followed them and hugged them, would he feel stupid? But just standing there and watching seemed pretty stupid too.
Xiaojun was hesitating between being very stupid and quite stupid, while Uncle Lu and Dajun were helped up by the neighbors who came over.
Auntie Yue's husband, Uncle Cai, was a worldly-wise man, so he tried to persuade the uncle and nephew. "Second brother, please stop crying. You haven't dared to go out these years because you're afraid that Dajun and Xiaojun won't be able to find your way home when they come back."
"That..." Dajun wanted to ask about his second uncle, but he didn't dare to speak.
He knew his parents were dead, but he still held onto a glimmer of hope: if his second uncle was alive, then did that mean his parents were also alive?
Uncle Cai was a kindhearted man. Seeing that both uncle and nephew wanted to speak but were afraid to, he pulled them to sit down and then spoke on behalf of Uncle Lu. "Dajun, how have you and Xiaojun been doing these past few years?"
Aunt A Yue took another look at the clothes of the two brothers Da Jun, and felt that her husband was not good at speaking today, so she secretly hit A Cai.
Uncle Cai disagreed, believing that some nonsense was acceptable. Otherwise, it would be awkward if the conversation became awkward.
Dajun also needed an excuse, and Uncle Cai asked him, so he told him everything he could say over the years.
But he did not mention that the two brothers were adopted sons of King Rui.
The neighbors present heard Dajun say that he is now a fourth-rank guerrilla general, and Xiaojun is also a sixth-rank captain.
They all stared at the brothers with wide eyes, somewhat incredulous.
Uncle Cai is so quick in reaction and agile in movements that he doesn’t look like a middle-aged man.
Seeing her husband running outside without a word, Auntie Yue hurriedly asked, "Acai, what are you doing?"
"I'll go tell the mayor that a great figure has emerged in Ping'an Town."
"Ouch!" Uncle Acai reminded the neighbors present and they remembered it.
"Isn't it? Dajun is a fourth-rank guerrilla general, isn't that higher than our county magistrate's rank?"
"Of course he is. Our county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, while our Dajun is a fourth-rank guerrilla general."
When the villagers talked about this, they were proud of it. Their Ping'an Town had produced a fourth-rank guerrilla general and a sixth-rank captain, whose official positions were higher than those of the county magistrate. How could they not be happy?
The mayor of Ping'an Town was named He Chuan. His home was not far from here, and after hearing Uncle Cai's words, he immediately came over with his attendant.
Mayor He looked at the two young men in front of him with extraordinary bearing and the guards standing outside like pine trees, and said nothing. He had already believed what Uncle Cai said.
Uncle Lu didn't expect that the mayor would come to their house in person, so he quickly stood up and greeted the mayor.
If this had happened in the past, Mayor He would have felt at ease, but things are different now.
The Lu family had produced a fourth-rank guerrilla general and a sixth-rank lieutenant. Not only the Lu family, but even he, the mayor of Ping'an Town, would see his status rise and his reputation would increase.
Dajun had traveled extensively with his parents over the years and had met all sorts of people. After exchanging pleasantries with Mayor He, he mentioned his parents to his second uncle.
Speaking of his brother and sister-in-law who passed away young, Uncle Lu was heartbroken again. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on marrying Li Xiuying, my eldest brother and sister-in-law wouldn't have died so early, and Dajun and Xiaojun wouldn't be living out there."
Uncle Lu looked at his two nephews with regret in his eyes.
Auntie Yue sighed when she saw Uncle Lu crying again, "Who would have thought that pair of bastards would be so bold?"
"It's Li Xiuying who's inhumane."
"I've never seen anyone so bold. She even had the nerve to bring her adulterer home, and when he was discovered, she even dared to kill him."
"Yes. The Li and Ji families are quite famous nowadays. I heard that no matter if they are married or engaged, the girls from the Li family are often divorced or have their engagements cancelled."
"If my family married a girl from the Li family, we would also have to divorce her. I'm afraid she might cheat on me or kill someone."
"Yeah, there's no such thing as a thief guarding against thieves for a thousand days."
"Then the Ji family simply moved away."
"Didn't the Li family move away?"
"When did you move out? How come I didn't know?"
"I chased them away the day before yesterday," Mayor He said, smiling and boasting. "We can't keep families like this in Ping'an Town, or they'll corrupt our children."
"Mayor He did the right thing."
The neighbors all praised Mayor He for doing the right thing, and Dajun also nodded to express his gratitude to Mayor He.
Mayor He, what he wants is for the two people in the Lu family to remember his kindness.
Dajun personally bought incense, candles, paper money and fruit offerings, and under the leadership of Uncle Lu, went to visit his parents' graves.
Lu's father and mother were buried on a small hill north of the town. Dajun saw that the area around his parents' graves was very clean, and he knew that his second uncle often came to pay homage to them.
Second Uncle Lu took the lead in kneeling before his brother and sister-in-law's grave. For the first time, he unloaded all the burdens in his heart and said to them, "Brother, sister-in-law, you can rest assured. Our Dajun and Xiaojun are back. They are both successful and have become high-ranking officials. Brother Cai said that their official positions are higher than our county magistrate's."
"Yes, Boss, you two can rest assured this time."
"Dad, Mom." Dajun knelt in front of his parents' graves. Thinking that his parents were only in their twenties when they were killed by Ji Laoer and Li Xiuying, he couldn't help but want to kill the couple with his own hands.
"Dad, Mom!" Xiaojun no longer remembers what his parents look like...
