Chapter 1042: A Good Gathering

This was completely different from reading a letter.

After all, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were right in front of him.

When he read the letter, although it was quite detailed and he was happy, it did not feel the same as speaking about it. He felt that even if Xue Yan and Jiang Yue went back tomorrow, he would stay extra happy for the next few days.

After making a steamer full of garlic bread, Jiang Yue first placed the steamer in a pot on the stove that the cooks had given them and began to steam it. The water in the pot boiled. The bottom of the stove was stuffed with a lot of chopped firewood. They did not need to attend to it for the time being.

The steamer was quite big. Each steamer could hold 20 to 30 small garlic breads. Jiang Yue looked at the flour balls left in the wooden basin and estimated that they could still make another batch.

It was also at this time that Xue Sanfu’s patrol for the day ended. He removed his armor and weapon and came over.

“Sanfu, sit here!” Xue Wufu hurriedly made way for Xue Sanfu.

“Okay.” Xue Sanfu responded indifferently. He was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he washed his hands and dried them before sitting down to help make the garlic bread.

Xue Sanfu’s hands were big and his strength was just right. He flattened the flour ball that had been kneaded into a small ball in an instant. He was doing really well at his job. Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Wufu took the outer skin of the flour ball that Xue Sanfu had pressed and began to wrap the meat filling inside. They made it into a half-moon-shaped small garlic bread with a bulging middle.

“Sanfu, are you free tonight?” Xue Wufu asked excitedly as he made the bun.

Ever since Sanfu had become a commander, he had become even busier. He didn’t have much free time at all. Every time he wanted to catch up with Wufu, it was difficult to do so. Even if Sanfu had something good to give him, he would have to ask someone else to pass it to him. Many times, he couldn’t give it to him personally. Even if he did, the two brothers wouldn’t talk much.

It was rare for them to sit together like today. They were slowly making garlic bread and chatted. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were also there. He was extremely happy.

“Yes.” Xue Sanfu only responded with a dull hum. He did not mention that the Great General had specially called him over just now and instructed him to free up his night. No matter how big the matter was, he had to push it aside.

He knew that the Great General wanted him, Wufu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue to have a good time here.

Hearing this, Xue Wufu became even more excited. “Then you can bring Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to watch my competition tonight. I’m really good. No one can beat me. You guys aren’t ready.”

“Yes.” Xue Sanfu’s voice was still indifferent, but he agreed.

He had watched Wufu compete before. When he was patrolling, he saw Wufu from a distance like a ray of light, carrying a big flag. The big flag fluttered in the wind, and he stood on the drum in the middle of the crowd.

This was the first time he had seen Wufu like that, and he had even lost himself for a moment.

The Great General was right. Wufu had a kind of magic that made everyone laugh along with him and forget all their troubles.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, you must follow Sanfu closely tonight, understand?” Xue Wufu began to instruct the two children. “I have to participate in the competition tonight, so I can’t take care of you. There will be so many people at the scene, and everyone is taller than you. I’m afraid that you’ll be stepped on.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both obediently agreed. They wanted to see with their own eyes how impressive Wufu was standing on the drum and carrying the big flag.

“That’s great!” Xue Wufu was overjoyed. “After we eat the garlic bread, I’ll talk to the commander and see if you can stand at the front to watch. If only there were still seats in the front row. I would have just given him six copper coins for all three of you. But yesterday, the commander told me that the seats had already been paid for, and there were no more seats in the front row. However, you are my family, so the commander will help think of a way to let you stand at the front and watch..”
