The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 194 She's Grown Up

When Jiang Li finally returned to the Taifu Mansion, Jiang Ying had already met his mother Xie Lan in the main courtyard. At this moment, Jiang Ying had not yet taken off his armor, and he stood straight and tall, looking heroic.

"My son greets me." Jiang Ying bowed respectfully to Xie Lan, his voice loud and firm. Xie Lan's eyes were full of love and heartache. She gently pulled Jiang Ying up, stroked his cheek, and couldn't help shedding tears.

"Why have you lost so much weight? Did you not eat well at the border? My child has suffered so much!" Xie Lan choked up and said, tears falling like pearls from a broken string. Jiang Ying smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He patted his mother's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Your son is doing well at the border. He is well fed, well dressed, and healthy." His words were gentle and firm, trying to reassure his mother. However, Xie Lan knew her son's thoughtfulness and kindness, and understood that he just didn't want to make her worry. She felt even more sad because she knew that life at the border was not easy, especially for a young soldier.

"Mother, don't worry. I have already told the kitchen to prepare a lot of food that my second brother likes. This time when I go home, I must make sure that my second brother is plump and white!" Just then, a cheerful voice came. It turned out to be Jiang Li. She strode into the house with a bright smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, yes, and there's also the Eight Treasure Duck that I brought back from the street." Jiang Bu also followed in.

"Second brother, welcome home!" Jiang Li and Jiang Bu said at the same time.

"Sister, third brother, you have worked hard at home taking care of our father and mother." Although Jiang Ying called him third brother, his eyes were always on Jiang Li, looking her up and down.

"How is your health, sister? Does your foot still hurt? Is there a scar on the wound on your forehead?" Jiang Ying hadn't seen her for several years. Jiang Li was still young when he followed the Regent to the Northern Frontier. Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, it did not affect the relationship between the siblings.

"Brother, I'm fine now, don't worry." Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ying with a smile, her eyes full of admiration. Jiang Ying came over and touched her head, and Jiang Li curiously touched her brother's armor. Jiang Ying let her play.

"Sister, are you curious about this? This armor is made of black iron, which is very hard and can protect soldiers from enemy attacks. Moreover, it can also resist damage from arrows, swords and other weapons." Jiang Ying explained patiently.

"Wow, so powerful!" Jiang Li exclaimed, with curiosity glittering in her eyes. She touched the scales on the armor again, feeling its hardness and coldness.

"The scales here are also carefully designed. They can overlap with each other to form a solid defense system. In this way, even if the enemy's weapon hits the armor, it is difficult to penetrate. But be careful not to hurt your hands," Jiang Ying continued.

Jiang Li was fascinated by what she heard. She imagined her second brother wearing such armor and fighting the enemy. She couldn't help but laugh, with a happy smile on her face.

Jiang Ying was also very pleased to see his sister so happy. He knew that his sister always liked to listen to his stories about the battlefield, and he was willing to share these experiences with her through letters.

"Sister, when you grow up, I will take you to the northern border. There are endless grasslands and magnificent mountains, and many brave soldiers are defending our country." Jiang Ying said expectantly.

Jiang Li nodded excitedly, his eyes full of longing.

"Mother, you don't know. Second brother was so awesome on the street today. All those little girls were fascinated by him. Hehehe!" Jiang Li ran towards Xie Lan with a smile on his face. Jiang Ying looked at his smiling sister and shook his head in his heart. Although there was a big age gap between him and his sister, his sister was still the little girl who followed him around with a smile all day long.

"You are so old, but you are still so playful. Let your second brother go quickly and let him wash up so that we can have lunch together. Your father will not be back at noon, and your eldest brother is probably still in his yard. I have sent someone to invite him." Xie Lan said with a smile as she looked at her daughter who was curiously playing around her second son.

Jiang Ying didn't care. He touched his sister's hair again. She was still as obedient as when she was little. Although they are all grown up now, their relationship is still close. This warm family atmosphere also makes him feel very happy.

"Second brother, you are not a child. My sister has grown into a big girl, so you are not allowed to touch her hair." A cold voice came from the door, and Jiang Xing, who was wearing a white gown, stepped into the threshold with the help of Yuanchu. His steps were steady, but each step was accompanied by a unique temperament, as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.

"Big brother!" Jiang Ying, Jiang Bu and Jiang Li shouted in unison, with happy smiles on their faces. Jiang Li let go of his second brother, rushed to his eldest brother like a happy little bird, and held his other arm.

"Brother, second brother just came back, you are not allowed to say anything bad about him~" Jiang Li still said to his eldest brother with a smile, a mischievous light flashing in his eyes.
