The neighbors praised Zilu one after another. Lao Gua was very happy and proud of his son!
Never before!
Too many things have subverted Lao Gua. In just a few years, there are even things that subvert him every day. He likes his current life!
After the neighbors' freshness had worn off and they all withdrew, Lu Lu and Lao Gua were left talking.
Lao Gua grabbed his son's hand and stared at it dumbly.
"You've been watching me for twenty years and haven't seen enough?" Zilu said.
"Silly son, I just want to see you like this for the rest of my life, until I die." Lao Gua said happily.
Hearing this, Zilu felt a lot softer and moved a lot. After all, the princess was not his biological child and was married far away. He could only rely on himself.
"Why do you suddenly stop being a prince? Are you angry with the emperor?" Zilu asked.
"How dare he? It's me. When I was discharged and returned to the field, he was still crying. He couldn't even cry. In fact, after you left, I felt that my heart left with you. The longer you left, the longer you left.
The more I miss you, the more I miss you. There has been no news from you. I only learned from the girl Haitang that you are far away and living a good life. I feel relieved and think that you may not like me as a child.
Prince, why don't I just become a melon farmer, and then apply for fertile land with this kind of melon. I thought, maybe one day my hair and beard will grow gray, and I can meet you. I didn't expect to meet you so soon.
Just having you come back to see me is the most important thing in the rest of my life, Zilu." Lao Gua said emotionally.
"Did you disarm and return home because of me?" Zilu asked.
Lao Gua nodded.
"I hope I still have a chance to be a good father. What kind of place are you in? How many barren mountains have you opened up?" Lao Gua asked, looking at his son's clothes.
"I'm in a very far place. I just came to see you. I'll be leaving in a few days." Zilu thought for a while and said.
Lao Gua did not stay.
"I know, I understand. When my son grows up, he needs his own space. He wants to do what he wants to do. No matter what you do, dad will support you and will always support you. As long as you live well and live happily, I
I'll be happy, even if I never see you again." The prince said emotionally.
Zilu stayed here for a few days, carefully experiencing all the feelings brought by his father. These few days were actually better than the previous twenty years. He felt more fatherly love than all the previous years combined!
The position of Minister of War was not thrown away in vain! In exchange for a father, it is great!
A few days later, Zilu was going to say goodbye.
"Son, wait a minute." Lao Gua greeted him.
"Although I don't know what you do, I think no matter what you do, you need financial backing. Although dad is no longer a prince, the property he had when he was a prince is still there, and I have exchanged it for banknotes.
Although it is not as much as what is in the emperor's treasury, it is still not much less. If you bring all of them, you will definitely be able to use them. Dad only needs one-third of an acre to sow melons and beans, and that's enough." Lao Gua said.
A box was dug out of the ground in the house. There were dozens of banknotes in the box, and the denominations were huge...
"Dad..." Zilu was very moved.
The government needs a certain amount of financial support so that it can prepare its troops faster.
"Son, everything dad has is yours. What does it mean? Take it, dad will pray to the melon field every day that no matter what you do, you will be safe and succeed immediately." Lao Gua smiled. He smiled honestly.
