Xue Wufu immediately jumped to his father’s side and said with a particularly proud air, “Father, let me tell you, I’m awesome in the military camp. The Emperor knows about me and said that I’ve contributed a lot to the military camp, allowing many people in the military camp to display their specialties. Not only did he reward me with many things, but he also granted me ten days of leave so that I could come back with Sanfu and go home together.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
The military camp had its own rules. His uncle, Shao Shuting, could not give a soldier ten days off. However, if his father, the Emperor, gave it to him, the nature of the rules would be completely different. There would be no problem.
Xue Sanfu was still silent and expressionless.
Xue Erfu held back his laughter. What was this? He was already being so arrogant. If Wufu found out that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, wouldn’t he be arrogant to death?
“You’ve seen the Emperor before?” Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan were naturally shocked.
“No.” Xue Wufu scratched his head. “When did 1 say I met the Emperor? I mean, he only knows about me. It was the great general who talked about me, saying that he mentioned me in front of the Emperor and the Emperor wanted to reward me. The great general took good care of me and said that Sanfu was getting married but I didn’t have much leave and couldn’t come back to see him. The Emperor gave me some things and also gave me ten days of leave.”
“So that’s how it is. We thought you had seen the Emperor before.” Xue Dafu and the others laughed. Whether he had seen the Emperor or not, they were extremely honored that he acknowledged Wufu.
“Oh right, Father, Mother, the things that the Emperor gave me have been distributed to the soldiers in the camp who have suffered with me. I didn’t bring them back for you.” Xue Wufu said loudly.
“Why would you bring it back? It should be given to them. They’ve already suffered vxith you enough and have been taking good care of you. Our family can’t take it no matter what.” Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu laughed.
“Where’s Sifu?” Xue Wufu realized that Sifu was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Guixia smiled and said, “He’s in the shop. He still has to sell dark plums today. The green plums at home have all been made into dark plums. He said that he’ll be back in the evening. Sanfu is getting married tomorrow, so he’ll be at home tomorrow.”
Then, Xue Wufu jumped up to the two children like a monkey. “Ahhhh, Xue Yan Jiang Yue, say hi to me, say hi to me! 1 couldn’t buy you something when you went to the military camp last time. I was so upset I couldn’t sleep for many days. 1 stopped the horse in town just now to make up for it. Look what I bought for you!’
As he spoke, he took out two especially large chicken drumsticks wrapped in paper from his pocket. He held one in each hand and held it in front of them.
Although it was not something rare, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were very touched. Their family treated them well. Wufu naturally did the same.
“Thank you, Wufu.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both said.
“What are you thanking me for? I was going to buy candy for you guys, but
Sanfu said that it’ll melt on such a hot day, so I bought this. Hurry up and eat.” Xue Wufu stuffed the drumsticks into the hands of the two children. “l watched the boss fry them ’cause I was afraid that he would change the big drumsticks I picked for you to smaller ones. Hehe, this drumstick is big, right?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
Since Xue Yan and Jiang Yue liked it, Xue Wufu was naturally even happier..
