King’s House Kindergarten

For a moment, Zhuo Yuan thought he was stunned.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. This is the garrison camp forty miles north of Luancheng, the border gate...

At this time, Xiao Wu should prepare to stay in Beijing with A Yue, A Xin and Uncle Tao.

It's just that he was still thinking about the children in the house just a moment ago.

Tomorrow is the new year, what will these little ancestors do in the mansion today?

Is it like going to the market with Ayue and drinking black sesame paste like last time in Xucheng? Just like what Ayue said in last year's letter, I bought large and small bags of New Year's goods in a hurry. The whole carriage was not enough. When I came back, I heard that Meng Zihui was coming to the mansion, and immediately dispersed, and each ran back to the garden?

He misses them so much!

Especially at the border where the war is constantly on.

Especially the new year...

Right now, he had just lost his thoughts, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Wu appearing in front of him like this, his face was clearly the iconic smirk after each reunion.

Zhuo Yuan felt that he was stunned.

And the magic was to a certain extent.

Shen Yue will tell him in the monthly booklet, who among the children has grown taller, who has grown stronger, who has lost his little deciduous teeth, and whose front teeth are leaking when he laughs, who suddenly likes to eat and hates it recently. , who misses him so much...

In the November booklet, Ayue told him that Xiao Wu's stature has grown so fast, as if he has suddenly jumped up a lot, and he looks like a big child.

I don't know if it's a matter of time, but Xiao Wu, who appeared in front of him at this time, looked like a grown-up big boy... so much taller than when he left the capital? No, is that so much?

Even the appearance has slightly changed.

More spirited, stronger, and more like Ah Xin's childhood...

Also lost a baby tooth.

Zhuo Yuan's eyes were slightly red.

How much he misses them, that he hallucinated to see Xiao Wu here!

He likes Xiao Wu very much, even though Xiao Wu always fights against him!

But also one of the most like him.

Zhuo Yuan has been stunned in the same place, the tip of his nose is slightly red, but the whole person does not move, even if he knows that what is in front of him is an illusion, he wants to see Xiao Wu for a while, and he does not dare to move his eyes or blink, because he is afraid of moving his eyes. , In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu in front of him disappeared from sight like air.

But right now, it seems that Xiao Wu really came to the border to see him.

Zhuo Yuan's throat tightened slightly, and the smile on his face was gradually rising, but it was a little complicated.

Xiao Wu, who had a bad smile on his face, kept smirking at him after entering the tent. Uncle and nephew, you looked at me, I looked at you, until Xiao Wu saw the smile on Zhuo Yuan's face, he Jump straight into his arms as usual!

Zhuo Yuan was stunned!

He didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Xiao Wu is always like this, rushing towards him like a little wild horse.

Xiaowu has a lot of strength, but if he doesn't pay attention a little, he will be hit by this powerful little wild horse, so he will cheer up every time he returns, and when he rushes over to the hut, he will either stand firm and hold him. , or just pick him up...

At the moment, when Xiao Wu rushed towards him, he clearly didn't react, but he reached out his hand subconsciously and picked him up in the air.

Zhuo Yuan was stunned, the heavy feeling in his hand was real!

That's absolutely true!

Zhuo Yuan looked at him in surprise, "...Xiao Wu?"

"Uncle Smelly Liu!" Xiao Wu snarled and snarled in his hands, snorting with anger.

Zhuo Yuan woke up like a dream.

The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was clearly about to explode with anger. He thought of him so much, and he had traveled so long in a carriage for so long, just to see him before the end of the year. He heard that when Uncle Liu was alone in the camp, he rushed in without even thinking about it, and even put on a smile that made him laugh, and this kind of smile had persisted for so long, Uncle Six didn't take the initiative to come up. Kissing, hugging, and lifting high are all fine!

He took the initiative to run to hug him! He really wanted to hug him!

He even picked him up directly!

Smelly Uncle Six! Smelly Uncle Six! Smelly Uncle Six!

Xiao Wu's face turned red with anger.

"Xiao Wu!" Zhuo Yuan suddenly realized that it was Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu snorted lightly, and Zhuo Yuan was so excited that he picked up the guy who was still awkwardly fluttering in his hands.

A certain awkward and fluttering guy paused, as if all his anger and anger disappeared when Sixth Uncle picked him up.

Uncle Six's hug!

How long has he been waiting!

Xiao Wu couldn't hold back, the corners of his mouth drooped, his lips trembled, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes unsatisfactorily, with a "wow", Guikulang howled, "Uncle Liu, I miss you so much... woo woo woo... Why haven't you come back from the battle... The battle that takes so long is more important than Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu seemed to have opened the door, crying non-stop.

Zhuo Yuan held him in his arms, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know how long it would take to go from Beijing to the border gate. Seeing him from such a long way, being so young, and how much he will suffer along the way, he knows very well...

Zhuo Yuan choked in his throat for a while, unable to say a word.

Amidst Xiao Wu's cries, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent. As soon as he heard it, he was chasing Xiao Wu all the way. Either he didn't catch up, or he lost it, and it was only now.

Zhuo Yuan turned his eyes and saw that the curtain at the entrance of the big tent was lifted.

A familiar figure came into view, clearly still the same as before, but much taller, and more calm, restrained and calm than before. But the moment he saw him, the whole person was still stunned, just like him, he couldn't help swallowing softly in his throat, and whispered, "Uncle Six..."

Zhuo Yuan clearly missed him, but after Zhuo Xin called out to him, Zhuo Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice sank, and he said angrily, "Isn't it nonsense! Do you know where this is!"

Younger than five years old, he wouldn't say anything about him!

But Zhuo Xin is already sixteen!

In the past year and a half, he knew that Zhuo Xin had been practicing in the DPRK, and he had also learned about DPRK from Uncle Tao. He thought that he should have made progress!

At least, you should know the scale!

How did he tell him before he left?

Where is this place? !

Here is the front line!

He actually brought Xiao Wu to the front line!

Is this child's play?

Bullshit!

Zhuo Xin also recovered from the excitement of reuniting after a long absence. Uncle Six has rarely been so angry in front of him!

It should be said that the sixth uncle has never been so angry with him...

"Uncle Six..." Zhuo Xin said apologetically.

Zhuo Yuan said again, "Where's Uncle Tao?"

At this moment, the tone has clearly softened.

Zhuo Xin was confused, so how could Uncle Tao be confused too!

Zhuo Xin replied, "Uncle Tao didn't come to the camp, they are in Luancheng..."

Zhuo Yuan was stunned, they? Luancheng?

Zhuo Xin continued, "Uncle Six, we arrived in Luancheng this morning. The defenders of Luancheng said that the border war has subsided recently, Uncle Six, you will return to Luancheng tonight. But we miss you very much and want to see it earlier. Arriving at you, this is the military camp. Uncle Tao said it was inconvenient to bring the children. Uncle Tao took the other children and waited at the Luancheng Post House. Xiao Wu and I came to the camp to find you first. Xiao Wu said he missed you too much. I must come here to see you and go back with you. He was very obedient all the way, but when he arrived at the main camp, he couldn't help but get excited to look for you everywhere. When a soldier pointed the way, he rushed over and I Didn't kick him out..."

Zhuo Yuan looked at him, and there was a mist in his eyes.

Zhuo Xin stepped forward. He had never expressed his concern before. Now, he seemed to take a deep breath before he mustered up his courage, "Uncle Six, we all miss you..."

This sentence came out of Zhuo Xin's mouth, which made Zhuo Yuan almost cry.

"Xiao Wu." Zhuo Yuan called, and Xiao Wu came down from his arms knowingly.

Zhuo Yuan stepped forward and hugged Zhuo Xin, "A Xin!"

Zhuo Xin couldn't hold back the tears, "Uncle Six!"

Zhuo Yuan and his eyes narrowed their broken eyes.

…

On the carriage back to Luancheng from Daying, Xiao Wu was so excited that he couldn’t stop, proudly said to Zhuo Yuan, “When I was celebrating my birthday in kindergarten, I made three wishes, the first two wishes to be said, the last wish cannot Say it - my first wish is to go to the military like my sixth uncle and my second brother in the future; my second wish is that one day I can surpass Suisui, and the last wish is, hehe~ that's what I want Uncle Six is ​​gone, and Uncle Six has not come back, so I will go see him! Look, my wish has come true! Grandpa Tao really brought us here!"

Little Five is very happy!

Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin looked at each other and smiled.

Didn't pierce him.

Who else could hear the wish he made in kindergarten?

Uncle Tao will bring them here, he must have discussed with Shen Yue...

All the way back to Luancheng in the carriage from Daying, Xiao Wu kept talking, from making a wish on his birthday to when everyone heard that he was going to see Uncle Liu, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, and the next day, they were all excited. Packed up and left the house on the third day.

But the road from Beijing to the border is a long way, and they are in the carriage every day. Grandpa Tao said that he would get to Luancheng before the end of the year, and he should not miss a day on the way.

The more the carriage came to the border, the more bumpy it was, they were all uncomfortable, but when they thought that they were about to see Uncle Six, no one wanted to stop! Great!

They actually came to the border!

Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin both lowered their eyebrows and smiled.

After Xiao Wu's exaggerated version was finished, Zhuo Xincai continued, "Before departure, I have discussed with Ayue and Uncle Tao, and I will bring Xiao Wu and the others to the border to see you. If the battle ahead is tight, we will be here. If you stay in a safe border town for a while, you can always meet the sixth uncle when the military situation is not so tight, and you don't have to wait for a long time; I'll come to the main camp to meet Uncle Six."

"Uncle Tao knows the situation in the army, and he also said that this is safe and feasible, but the premise is that we don't make a lot of noise to let outsiders know that we are coming here. This way is safer. So Uncle Tao didn't even know about the sixth uncle. We are eleven. I set out in the middle of the month, and when I was halfway through, Uncle Tao said that the military situation in front had eased, and it was very possible to see Uncle Six. The children in this car were like crazy, and immediately started jumping in the car, the car jumped. collapsed..."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded quickly and quickly confirmed that the second brother did not lie!

The carriage was really knocked over by them.

At that time, Zhuo Ye's whole person's expression was so unrequited!

Said that he had never seen anyone's carriage collapsed...

At that time, everyone was very scared. At that time, Zhuo Ye couldn't believe whether what was in front of him was reality or a dream, so he desperately reached out to hammer his forehead. They were all afraid that he would hammer him down...

Later, along the way, Zhuo Ye was always worried about the carriage, afraid that they would collapse the carriage again.

However, all the way to Luancheng, they were all honest and did not jump over the carriage again...

What Xiao Wu said was a bit wronged, which shows that Zhuo Ye should have been on the verge of collapse at that time, so the children were afraid that he would hammer himself to death...

After Xiao Wu said, Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin couldn't hold back their laughter.

Then Xiao Wu also "giggled" and laughed.

This familiar laughter was what Zeng Jin missed the most when he couldn't sleep at night at the border gate.

Right now, I just feel that happiness comes a little suddenly.

Compared with Zhuo Ye, he is the one who can't believe it even more.

Zhuo Yuan paused, in fact, he had always wanted to ask when he was listening to Zhuo Xin and Xiao Wu, but he couldn't ask directly in front of Zhuo Xin and Xiao Wu.

Zhuo Xin said that Uncle Tao brought them all after discussing with A Yue. Did A Yue come?

Zhuo Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you all here?"

Zhuo Xin nodded seriously, "We're all here! Si, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Taotao, and Uncle Tao and I, we're all here!"

Zhuo Yuan was slightly startled.

That's not what he meant...

But I didn't hear the word Ayue from Zhuo Xin's mouth. It seemed like an accident, and there was some inexplicable sense of loss in it. I also felt that maybe I didn't ask clearly. He asked softly, "Where's Ayue?"

Then he looked at Zhuo Xin, although his expression was indifferent, but his heart was still uneasy.

Zhuo Xin seemed surprised, "Ayue?"

Only then did she react normally and said decisively, "Ayue didn't come, she didn't come with us."

Zhuo Yuan's eyes were slightly stagnant, although he had thought about it before, if A Yue came together, he and Xiao Wu would have mentioned it long ago, neither of them mentioned it, nor did Xiao Wu Yi's description. Shen Yue, Shen Yue probably didn't come with them...

As the New Year is approaching, Shen Yue has not spent the past two years with her aunt and uncle and Han Sheng. This year, it is rare that Uncle Tao and Zhuo Xin brought the children of the mansion to visit him at the border gate. Shen Yue should go to Shancheng with his aunt and uncle, and Han Sheng went to a reunion.

He actually thought of it just now, but he just hoped in his heart, so he took a fluke.

But when it was confirmed from Zhuo Xin's mouth, her hope seemed to be dashed. Yes, she has been taking care of the children in the mansion for so long, so she should be reunited with her family. What was he thinking...

Zhuo Yuan was obviously silent for a while.

Xiao Wu also said, "It's okay! When we go back, we can see Ayue!"

It was the tone that Xiao Wu was used to.

Zhuo Yuan smiled and reached out and touched his head.

Yes, they can see Ayue when they go back...

He misses her too, but he doesn't know when this battle will end, he misses her so much...

***

When we arrived in Luancheng, it was already after dusk.

The carriage drove directly to the entrance of the Luancheng Post House and did not go to the Luancheng official residence.

Forty miles north of Luancheng is a large camp, but during the war, Luancheng was an important border town. Many institutions of the military during the war were located in the Luancheng official residence, and the Luancheng official residence often came and went by people from the army! When Zhuo Yuan returned to Luan City, he lived in the official residence, which was convenient for communicating with the garrison and the people in the rear.

But Uncle Tao took the children and stayed at the inn.

The current post house is much quieter than the official residence.

Children are also not intimidated by the coming and going of soldiers and emergency news of war.

Arriving at the post house, the head of the post house greeted him in person.

"My lord, the housekeeper Tao and all the young masters and young ladies in the mansion have already been settled. The housekeeper Tao also specially instructed him to worry about the safety of the return journey, so he did not let the news that the sons and young ladies from the mansion came to Luancheng were kept secret from the outside world. , the guards in the mansion have been replaced with the most secure ones, and the ones with tight seals, don’t worry about the prince, the whereabouts of the mansion will not be leaked.” The innkeeper first spoke to him.

Zhuo Yuan nodded.

Uncle Tao is used to being thorough, and he has explained everything he needs to do.

As long as Uncle Tao and their whereabouts are kept secret, there will be no danger along the way.

"My lord, please come with the officials." The head of the post house led the way.

The post house was temporarily emptied, there were no other people inside, and there were very few people serving, and there were three or two people along the way. "Why hasn't Uncle Six come back!"

Zhuo Yuan smiled lightly, Xiao Ba's voice just fell, Zhuo Yuan stepped into the garden, and said warmly, "Uncle Liu is back..."

"Uncle Six!"

"uncle!"
