Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 369 The Joy of Victory

home.

It’s a place that makes people’s hearts tremble just by mentioning it.

It is different from the foreign country where I live and the places I pass through.

Hometown is the most beautiful place.

I believe that those soldiers who died in a foreign land will definitely be able to turn into swimming fish and return to their distant hometowns carrying homecoming lanterns.

Even if their hometown is thousands of miles away, there are still people’s blessings and thoughts that light their way back home.

Bai Mingwei looked at the lights in the distance, and little bits of light fell on her beautiful eyes, like spring water filled with silver stars.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted loudly: "Light the fire! Share the pigs and sheep! We want to celebrate the great victory at the border with the sacrificed soldiers!"

Wei Xiao immediately gave the order, and soon a tall bonfire was set up at regular intervals.

The bonfire burned fiercely, spreading like a dragon on the hillside that stretched for more than ten miles.

The firelight shone on the faces of the soldiers and civilians, revealing their determination to put aside their sorrow and face tomorrow, and their joy that they no longer had to endure burning, killing, looting, and oppression.

The soldiers immediately divided their labors and cooperated, placing the sacrifices that were frozen hard by the cold wind on the fire, allowing the meat to be roasted until it was charred and oily, exuding bursts of alluring fragrance.

Seeing this, the people also put the sacrifices they brought to commemorate the martyrs and roasted them by the fire.

The heat of the bonfire drove away the chill on everyone's bodies, and the aroma of the food also made everyone salivate.

But everyone was waiting for Bai Mingwei to speak. They had not eaten for a day, and no one put food into their mouths without permission, even if they had prepared it themselves.

When hundreds of pigs and sheep were cooked, Bai Mingwei immediately ordered the soldiers: "Give it to the common people."

The well-trained soldiers cleaned the weapons they wore, cut up the fragrant meat, and distributed it to the hungry people all over the mountains and plains.

However, there were too many people, so everyone got only a small piece.

Although the amount given to each person was already so small, the soldiers had none.

Some children were already salivating at the smell of meat. They were about to stuff the meat into their mouths, but were stopped by their elders.

At this time, an old woman walked up to Bai Mingwei tremblingly, broke off half of the meat in her hand, and handed it to Bai Mingwei: "Girl, the soldiers and the people are enjoying themselves, how can we not eat together?"

Bai Mingwei took the meat handed over by the old woman, put it in his mouth and took a bite: "Auntie is right, soldiers and civilians enjoy together and should eat together."

With the old woman taking the lead, the common people took half of the meat and shared it with the soldiers.

Bai Mingwei accepted it, and the officers and soldiers naturally did not refuse and shared the pitifully small amount of meat with the people.

When the meat reaches their mouths, it slides involuntarily into their throats before they have even chewed it a few times, because the weight in their mouths is not enough for them to chew it a few times.

However, even so, this was the most delicious piece of meat they had ever eaten.

For the soldiers, this is a shared feeling with the people they protect with their lives.

For the people, this is a benefactor who has rescued them from the enslavement of their enemies. It is a supreme honor to eat with the benefactor.

Some people handed over food again, but Bai Mingwei didn't eat it. He turned around and handed it to a child.

The child stared at the meat in his hand and swallowed, but still did not eat it immediately. He looked at the mother beside him with expectant eyes.Seeing his mother nodding, he ate the meat in one bite, not forgetting to suck on his grease-stained fingers.

Bai Ming patted his shoulder slightly: "Now that the border has been pacified, the border towns will no longer be plundered by the Beiyan people. The days when there is not enough food to satisfy the hunger will not last long. One day, there will be enough meat to eat and endless drinking. Wine. And that day is inseparable from the efforts of generations of people, so you have to work hard."

The child nodded ignorantly.

Bai Ming smiled slightly and moved his eyes to Xiao Chuanyi.

Seeing little Chuanyi sitting upright by the campfire, she knew that it was normal for children of this age to be ignorant and innocent, and it was also normal for children to be curious about the world.

Not everyone is as different as this nephew.

At this time, a cheer came from not far away, but it was the people dancing around the bonfire.

The unique dancing posture of Biansai is not as graceful and gentle as that of traditional Dongling people. Every move is rugged and heroic.

Although some are no longer young, even if some have not yet grown up, all their joy after regaining their freedom is vividly displayed in their joyful dance.

Some people take the lead, and naturally others follow.

Beside the piles of bonfires, there were happy figures jumping around.

Almost all the people in the mountains and plains were immersed in this growing joy.

The young people held their partners' arms, the parents held their young children, and the old people stood aside and watched, commenting from time to time.

Bai Xiuying thought it was fun. After tying her hair firmly, she dove into the team.

Less than 14 years old, she has the sunshine and charm that a woman in her prime should have. She sings and dances with the people, and her laughter like silver bells echoes in the mountains and fields.

Seeing how happy she was, Sixth Sister-in-law Yang couldn't help but smile: "This is Miss Sixth, with a cheerful energy all over her body."

The injured second sister-in-law, Mrs. Ren, sat aside and looked at Bai Xiuying with a smile, agreeing: "Yes, this is the sixth girl. In addition to her fearless energy, she is also a lively little girl who loves to laugh. Girl, I haven’t seen her so happy for a long time.”

The third sister-in-law, Mrs. Gao, held Mrs. Ren's hand: "Second sister-in-law, maybe I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."

Ren looked at Bai Mingwei on the side, and nodded after a while: "I'm happy to see that you are all well, and the big girl doesn't have to come back with injuries all over the body. Of course I'm happy."

Fourth sister-in-law Zheng held Mrs. Ren's other hand: "Although we have lost our beloved, we have gained an extremely close family relationship. We sisters must live strong in the future, just like these treasures that we have also lost. But they can still let go of the past and welcome the future."

Yang also stretched out her hand: "In the future, we sisters will support each other and we will be able to live a peaceful life."

Yu Jiao looked at them, but was caught by Zheng: "Don't think that because you just got married, we old people will exclude you. After this, you are also our closest sister."

Yu Jiao didn't say anything and silently leaned together with everyone.

In fact, in the eyes of several sisters-in-law, Yu Jiao is really a very easy to get along with.

Among the seven young ladies of the Bai family, except for the eldest sister-in-law Shen, who was married by the old man, the rest all married their husbands after they liked each other.

Not everyone in this family is as high as the Shen family. Only Yu Jiao has a noble background as the Queen Mother's niece. She should be a proud and indulgent noble daughter, but she has no airs and respects her sisters-in-law very much.

The sisters-in-law didn't have any objections to her as a bride, but after this catastrophe, they regarded her as their closest relative.
