Lu Yue, Peng Xianyun and Lu Dan reluctantly said goodbye to his father and stepmother, and set off from Wuyuan to Suiyuan to visit his brother Lu Dahu. When he set off at Wuyuan, Peng Xianyun changed into a major general uniform and restored his true identity. He no longer had to hide his identity. Before leaving, Lu Chuanxiong gave his beloved gun, a small and exquisite Browning pistol to Aixu.

In addition, Lu Chuanxiong also selected two good-skilled students among the military academy disciples, served as guards and sent them safely to their hometown. Peng Xianyun could not refuse his father-in-law's demeanor and had to accept it. Lu Yue also changed the cannons and dressed herself up as a Lady Kuo. For this reason, she deliberately dressed up and wore a mink coat for the first time in her life, because it was already late September when they set off in Wuyuan.

The weather in the north of the border is cold as it is cold. The cold wave is rising southward. The temperature gradually drops. The grass on the grassland begins to turn yellow, and the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves. The train arrives at Baotou Station, where Lu Yue and Lu Dan are separated. When the sisters are about to part, they both stand on the platform and cry with their heads in their arms. I don’t know when they will meet again. In fact, no one of the sisters thought that this separation was a perfect outcome. In the future, Lu Yue died heroically in the Zhongtiao Mountain blocking battle.

Lu Yue, Peng Xianyun and two guards changed horses in Baotou and headed straight for Suiyuan. Two days later, Lu Yue unfortunately did not meet his elder brother. Lu Dahu was recruited by Mu Yaping to Taiyuan to study military affairs. Fortunately, Lu Yue met his sister-in-law Du Yafen and his four-year-old nephew. Du Yafen was naturally very happy and entertained him. The couple lingered in Suiyuan for a few days, but Lu Dahu did not come back. The couple couldn't wait, so they set off again.

The couple turned around and headed south through Ulanqab, arrived at Zhangjiakou and entered Jihongchang's defense zone. They stayed in Zhangjiakou for two days. During this period, Peng Xianyun visited Jihongchang. The two talked very well, but they did not know their identities. Then they continued to go south, arrived at Boye through Baoding, and then walked forward to Peng Xianyun's hometown, Minggongdian Village, located on the banks of the Xituo River. As the hometown approached, Peng Xianyun's homesickness became stronger and stronger, and his desire to see his relatives became stronger. He has been leaving his hometown for twelve years. Are their parents there? Brother, are they okay? How are they living? A strong concern surges in his heart.

Peng Xianyun's parents were honest farmers, and they had a few acres of thin land at home and could barely live a life of a few acres of thin land. Their parents hoped that their children would become successful, tightened their belts, and were lucky enough to support him to go to school, hoping that he would change the fate of the whole family. Then they thought that Peng Xianyun participated in the revolution before he graduated from middle school and ran away from home. After that, he had no news and lost contact with his family. At this time, Peng Xianyun went home with guilt and guilt, and he was ready to accept the punishment from his parents.

The pedestrians on the road saw a military officer galloping fast on a war horse, and they were so scared that they gave way. However, a rich wife riding on a war horse, dressed in a brightly dressed manner, aroused the curiosity and peeping of passers-by, and whispered. Lu Yue's identity must have caused suspicion. From a distance, the small village in his hometown, and the winding river beside the village, clear and hazy. In a muted manner, Peng Xianyun's mood was even more urgent. At this time, the farmer in the wilderness had already finished harvesting, and seemed withered and quiet, and the scene of late autumn was unobstructed.

Peng Xianyun's home lives at the north end of the village. As soon as he entered the village, he saw his familiar home. It was still the same as before. The courtyard wall was built by the river stone he and his father picked up in the river. It was still so irregular and curved. The black courtyard door paint had already fallen off, revealing the color of the wood inside. A corner of the ridge of the yard was covered with yellow dead grass, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time. Looking at the scene of defeat at home, Peng Xianyun's heart tightened, and it was difficult for him to see what happened to his home?

At this time, many children were surrounded by them. They were curiously watching the uninvited guests. Perhaps adults were busy with their own work and could not see adults around. Peng Xianyun stepped forward and knocked on the door in two steps. After a while, the door of the yard opened and a dark-faced woman was wearing clothes with nails, about twenty-five or six years old, and a five or six-year-old child was next to the woman.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" The woman asked timidly. Peng Xianyun, the woman who appeared in front of her, didn't know her, and asked in a daze: "Is this family's surname Peng?" The woman nodded and said, "The family's surname is Peng. I only have my mother-in-law and I at home. I don't know what the chief has to do." Peng Xianyun squeezed in without saying anything when he heard this. The woman was shocked and hurried into the house with the child in front. Peng Xianyun saw everything familiar in the yard, and there was almost no change. The only thing that changed was that everything was worn out.

After a while, the woman walked out with a white-haired old lady. Peng Xianyun recognized her mother at first glance. Although her mother had many wrinkles on her face, her head turned pale when she was less than 60 years old, and although her mother's face became much older, the face she often saw in her dreams was still clearly visible.

Peng Xianyun knelt on the ground with a sore nose and shouted loudly: "Mom! The unfilial son is back!" The mother was stunned and widened her eyes. "I am Xianyun! Mom, you can't recognize your son!" The mother hurried forward and looked carefully. It seemed that the mother's eyes were already blurred. After a while, the mother said softly: "Are you really my Yun'er?" Peng Xianyun nodded.

The mother gently stroked her son's cheek with her hands, and tears flowed out silently. After a long time, the mother whispered: "Yun'er, we thought you were no longer alive. It's been twelve years, your heart is so hard!" Peng Xianyun said: "Mom! I wrote a letter to my home, but there has never been a reply." The mother wiped away her tears and said: "Your father is not in good condition. He can't wait for you to come back. Before he died, he said he was going to see you." Peng Xianyun asked anxiously: "My father..."

The mother sighed and said, "Three years ago, your father had a serious illness. He had no money to treat him and had to sell half of the land. The money was gone, but your father still went." At this time, a sob came out from behind. The mother looked at Lu Yue who was crying, and then asked her son with inquiring eyes. Peng Xianyun immediately introduced, "Mom! This is your daughter-in-law!"

Lu Yue stepped forward and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law kowtowed to you!" After that, she was about to kneel down. The mother hurriedly stepped forward and helped her and said, "Child, it's enough to be as good as the ground." Then the mother began to look at Lu Yue, and a smile appeared on her face and said, "Yun'er, where did you get the blessing? Have you married such a beautiful wife?" Lu Yue took the opportunity to ask about her well-being with her mother-in-law.

Then my mother introduced the woman, who turned out to be my sister-in-law. After seeing each other, the family walked into the house. Peng Xianyun asked, "Mom! What did my brother do?" My mother said, "After your father left, there were only two acres of land left in the house, and the food he had to make up for food. As the time when the weather was too green, wild vegetables had to fill the hunger. It was no longer a slack farm. Your brother went to Anguo Town to the north to do a short-term job to supplement the family's income, and life was hard to bear!" Peng Xianyun said, "Mom! From now on, you will not suffer anymore. Maybe all the poor people in the world can live a good life in the near future."

At this time, the mother seemed to remember something and asked her second daughter-in-law to call Cuihua back, and said that her eldest brother was back. Peng Xianyun guessed that her sister had already got married and asked, "Mom! My sister's in-laws' family is also in the village?" The mother said, "Three years ago, your sister's wife got married. Her husband's family was in the Madian east. She missed your sister less than a year after she married her, and her man died of illness. Her husband's family said that it was your sister Kefu who drove her back. Who dared to take the reputation of Kefu? In order to make a living, she had to go to the rich man's house in the village to help, and she usually lives there."

After a while, her sister Cuihua returned. Peng Xianyun left home, Cuihua was only 10 years old. At this time, Cuihua no longer knew her elder brother. At the time of her mother's recommendation, she shouted: "Brother! Sister-in-law!" She stood aside and said without saying anything. Obviously, the hardships of life made her numb. Lu Yue took the initiative to come forward and talked without saying anything.

Peng Xianyun ordered the two guards to bring the things they brought in. After a while, the yard was full of items. Lu Yue's own performance was not pretentious or arrogant at all, and soon received recognition from his sister-in-law and sister-in-law. They felt that the sister-in-law was very friendly. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law quickly got to get along with each other. Lu Yue led them to take out the meat, rice and flour they brought and prepare a sumptuous dinner.

After dark, the brother came back. When he saw his elder brother and sister-in-law, he just nodded. The brother's appearance seemed very old compared to his actual age, as if he was older than his elder brother. Peng Xianyun was in a very heavy mood when he saw his brother's muteness.

The next day, the gentry and rich man in the village heard that the eldest son of the Peng family returned home in glory and became a major general of the National Army, so he came to the Peng family to curry favor and visit him, which was very lively. The farce lasted for a whole day, which made Peng Xianyun laugh and cry. Although he was very disgusted, the villagers in the village had to give face and had to socialize on the surface. However, the mother was rarely happy. Once upon a time, the Peng family had such honor. It was so happy that Peng Xianyun thought that it was worth doing anything.

A few days later, Lu Yue gathered the whole family together and said, "Mother-in-law, brother, brother, sister, your life is too hard, I decided to take you to Baoji. Mother-in-law, let your daughter-in-law be more filial." The mother smiled and said, "My wife is so virtuous and well-educated. I am content to see your peace and harmony. I cannot leave my hometown, so I will not go with you. If you can take Cuihua away if you are interested, she will be too miserable."

Lu Yue said angrily: "What's the point of harming your husband? It's just nonsense. Don't worry, sister-in-law, help you find a good husband and anger them to death." Peng Xianyun knew that his mother could not go, and that would happen to her brothers and sisters. He asked Cuihua, and Cuihua lowered her head and said, "I'll listen to my elder brother!"

Ten days later, Peng Xianyun arranged the family, left some money for his mother, and asked his brothers to purchase a few acres of land to take good care of his mother. Then the couple took their girl Cuihua on the journey back.
