The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Chapter 147 Family

In particular, the relatives of Ji Yang and his grandson have all survived all these years and are doing quite well. One is a centurion and the other is a commander of a thousand men in the Qin Dynasty. They both rose through the ranks based on their solid military achievements.

He might even get a lieutenant rank when the merit awards are distributed this time.

Ji Yang looked at his son and touched the scar on his face with heartache. The scar that ran from his eye socket to the corner of his mouth made him cry uncontrollably.

"Dad, I'm fine. I'll be able to come back and take care of you after this battle."

Ji Yang's grief subsided, and he slapped his son on the head: "What are you saying? The King of Qin has treated you well. You've earned merit and now you're indulging in pleasure. How can that be? Once you've married and have a child, go to the battlefield. Lord Danyang's kindness to our family can never be repaid in a lifetime."

Gouwa grinned sheepishly, not caring about his father's slap. Just looking at the table full of food, he knew his father missed him terribly.

Ji Zai had just returned from school: "Grandpa, I'm back."

Gouwa's face stiffened. He remembered that he didn't have a wife yet, so how could he have a child? Before he could start thinking wildly...

Ji Yang had already hugged the person in his arms with a smile, affectionately calling him his grandson.

He pointed at Gouwa and said, "Little one, this is your dad, the Great Qin Commander, he's very powerful."

Ji Zai's eyes sparkled, but she was also a little scared. In the end, she hugged Gouwa and sweetly called him "Daddy."

When the little boy hugged him, Gouwa froze, his dark face flushed with an almost imperceptible blush.

He lost his manhood on the battlefield and was destined to never have children of his own. Now, his eldest son, who is very pale, is so nervous that he doesn't know where to put his hands.

Liu Tuan returned with the wine and saw this scene, patting Gouwa on the shoulder with a grin.

"This is Brother Gouwa. I am Jizai's godfather. We are all family. Come and sit down. I knew you were visiting relatives today, so I specially bought some rice wine. Come and have a taste."

Although Gouwa didn't quite understand what was going on, he could tell from his father's happy face, rosy complexion, robust physique, and clean, tidy clothes without any patches that he was being well taken care of.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a burly man over two meters tall entered. Upon seeing Ji Zai, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he tried to grab him.

Ji Zai cowered behind Gouwa in fear: "Dad, I'm scared."

Gouwa shielded Jizai behind him, his fierce eyes fixed on the newcomer.

The man realized he had frightened Ji Zai, so he quickly spoke up: "Brother, I am a centurion of the Qin shield soldiers. Ji Zai is my child. When I left, I married a wife, but I never expected that the money would be swallowed up by that woman, and my child was abandoned to fend for himself."

I only learned from the letter from Lord Danyang that Ji Zai is doing very well now. I don't ask him to change his surname; I only ask that he can still call me "Father."

Gouwa continued to protect the frightened Jizai. Jizai truly felt his father's love and mustered his courage to peek out: "I've never seen my father, and I don't know you. I have Grandpa Jiyang, as well as my father and godfather. I'm doing very well now. Just pretend you don't have a son like me, okay?"

The burly man suddenly burst into tears, a loud, wailing cry that startled the onlookers, who hurriedly tried to comfort him.

After all that fuss, they decided that the child would still call him "Dad," but out of respect for Ji Zai, the child would stay with Ji Yang's family, and they could see the child anytime they wanted.

The man could sense that everyone was doing this for Ji Zai's own good. Besides, Gouwa was the head of the family, and with such a father, Ji Zai would have a better life, which put his mind at ease.

Liu Tuan was even more pleasantly surprised. The military was in high demand these days. Even if his brother couldn't have children, he could just find a wife who couldn't have children either. He could even play matchmaker.

While drinking, Gouwa inquired about his family. Although he had written home a letter, he had not received a reply and had assumed his father had passed away.

Actually, Ying Ji forgot about this matter after she brought the person back...

Now that my father is still alive, and I have a well-behaved and adorable son, plus two more brothers, I suddenly feel like I have a family. I can't help but think of myself. I'm only 36 years old now. It wouldn't be bad to stay in the military for a few more years, even if it's just to repay a debt of gratitude.

When Liu Bang returned home, he found himself with several new uncles. Before he could even feel awkward, he learned that one of them was a centurion and the other a chiliarch. Not to mention that they hadn't even received any merit yet. In a while, they might be promoted to a higher position.

Looking at his own father, he never expected that the two people he had casually taken in, one old and one young, to have such a good opportunity.

But thinking about himself, Lord Danyang had seen through his actions, even though he had been busy for a while.

But the benefits are real; you'll be in a position that some people never reach in their entire lives right from the start.

No one dared to trip him up, since his superior was the concubine of the Lord of Danyang, who took good care of him.

These days, all I have to do is wait for some achievements to get promoted. I'm already thinking about where I want to go, which is a sweet kind of trouble.

Liu Tuan now has two military personnel in his family. Some of his close friends want to know what kind of checks are done when people join the military, and who else can join besides those who were previously considered.

While enjoying the compliments, Liu Tuan was inquiring about wives for his two brothers.

"You can ask around, help me find out if there are any women who can't have children. My brother's health has been damaged, so he can't do anything like marriage fraud. He just wants to find someone to live with."

A middle-aged man wrote down, "You've come to the right person. Your mother is a famous matchmaker; asking about this for you is a piece of cake."

Liu Tuan ignored everyone else and grabbed the middle-aged man, trying to lead him into the man's house.

The man, speaking in a thick local dialect, said, "I'm not saying this to anyone, but everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your brother is my brother, absolutely no problem."

Liu Tuan treated everyone to a meal, explained his request, and said that since he had plenty of time on vacation, he could wait.

When Liu Tuan returned home, Ji Yang had already prepared the meal. Seeing Liu Tuan return was no different from seeing her own son. She greeted him warmly, saying, "You're back! Wash your hands and eat."

Liu Tuan glanced around and wondered where his two brothers were: "Grandpa, where are my two brothers?"

Ji Yang laughed heartily: "Ever since we found out that there were two people in the family with military backgrounds, after you left, so many people have come to visit, and quite a few have tried to arrange marriages. But the two of them didn't want to hold back other people's good girls, so they went out to relax and have drinks with their military brothers."

Liu Tuan clicked his tongue: "I was just thinking of introducing one, but I didn't expect him to be so popular."

Ji Yang chuckled and said, "I just don't know when Lord Danyang will come to see us. His mother named him Gouwa, and I was too lazy to change it. But in this big family, his name is really embarrassing. When I attend the parent-teacher conference, people will laugh at me."

Liu Tuan laughed: "You'd better not think about that. Lord Danyang is extremely busy, how could he come here?"

Ji Yang didn't believe it: "No way, Lord Danyang said that I, this old man, should raise chickens for her. These chickens will be ready for market soon, and the chicks are doing well. I'll send the chickens to her later."

Liu Tuan disagreed in his heart and didn't believe it on the surface, but he didn't want to discourage the old man, so he just laughed it off.

Ying Ji had indeed forgotten about it at this moment, but she had a good habit of marking her later plans on the calendar.

After comforting and reassuring several military families, and also recognizing the promising young talents we had previously recruited, and with the Lunar New Year just around the corner, it's time to prepare some gifts to visit them.

He instructed Bai Changchuan to accompany him when the blood was drawn, since they were both from military backgrounds and he wanted to make the soldiers feel better. He also instructed Bai Changchuan to distribute the rewards so that the soldiers could have a good New Year.

The distribution of items was handed over to Zhang Liang. Originally, it was meant for Zhang Han, but unfortunately, Zhang Han had already gone to Meng Ao's residence. Now, this steward can only manage the household; his abilities are still somewhat lacking. However, he is attentive and thoughtful as a steward, which is sufficient.
