In the southeast of Liuwan Village, there are several courtyards that are outstanding. The brick and stone inlaid high gatehouse has murals, wood carvings, and stone carvings. The walls of the courtyard were also very high, and they were all made of bricks. Judging from the layout of the courtyard and the adjacent relationship of the building, these families should have a close or distant kinship. Liu Lao, as it is called, lives in one of the three-entry courtyards. This Liu Lao, whose big name is Liu Yunsheng, is born with a small name, and he is the second oldest in the family. He has an older sister and an older brother, the elder brother is called Liu Yunlong, nicknamed Longwa, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below, the younger brother is called Liu Yunhu, nicknamed Hu'er.

One afternoon after going to the grave, there was no important work, and a few people chatted under the high gate building of Liu's house. "Oh, there are a few people in our village who have a good life. "Haha, this still has to be said, I don't know what to do. "Sheng'er, did your eldest write recently?" asked an old man. "Nope. "Oh, look at your situation, the dragon baby is an official, and you still need to worry about it?!" said an old woman to the old man with a smile. "Haha, if you dare to someone's heart, just ask. Well, dare to say anything, people are grown up, this family Longwa has been interested in it since she was a child. "Haha, then you still want to say miles?!" "Ah, that is, I was still young when I was born, and I probably don't remember, your eldest family studied well when he was young, and he counted miles in our area." "Not only is it good to study, but people also like to practice, both civil and military." "Ah, at that time, there was often a sandbag hanging in your yard, and there was sand in that small urn, you know, it was all used by the dragon baby to practice. "Hehe, I remember a little bit, people's hands are often blue and purple, and their nails have not been cut. "Don't cut your nails?" asked a small one. "Haha, this baby, let the sand eat. "Eaten sand?" "Hehe, practice, grind." "Oh. ”

"Outside, there are promising babies, and everyone has their own ideas. "People often say that good iron is not nailed, and good children are not soldiers." But people's dragon babies think differently from people, they study well, and they want to be soldiers. "Ah, no, your father is not less angry about this. "Or people have ideas, whether adults want to or not, people just want to go." "Yes. I didn't eat for two days. "Oh, no. It's still your mother's soft-heartedness, and your father is silent. "Dare not speak?! It's also distressing. "Anyway, in the end, Long Wa went out according to her own plan. "Ah, the baby broke out on her own. "Hey, Sheng'er, how big is the boss of your family?" "Hehe, I can't tell you clearly, people never tell me this." "We don't know how big it is, anyway, there are guards when people come back." "Oh, I haven't seen it." "Ah, I haven't been back in years. "Ah, I came back when my mother died. "Well, Mom and Dad are gone, what are you going to do?!" "Haha, that's not what I said, I'm busy with my family's business." Liu Lao replied. "Ah, that's right. The other old woman chimed in.

A few people were chatting, and the third child of the Liu family came over, wearing an old cotton coat with exposed cotton, and a stubble beard. As soon as Hu'er saw Sheng'er, he said loudly: "Second brother, give me some money." "Hehe, Hu'er, what do you want money for?" a middle-aged man teased. "It's your business. I don't ask you for it, it's not. "Hey, didn't the eldest brother just bring you money? Why do you want money again?" "Oh, I just took that little bit, what do you have to do?" "Who can afford to spend your money like running water?" "You're in a good situation, you don't care who cares, you won't be able to open the pot tonight." "Your nephew has to spend money too, so he's nervous. "Oh, look at how scared you are, it's not that you don't pay it back! Brother is like a father, there is no more, there is less, you can give a little more, and you don't want it in the future. "Shameless. I always said no, but I didn't come to ask for it. "Hehe, if you have a brother, you will have a face, otherwise it will embarrass you......" "What's the matter?" "Hey, how can it be, good brother, just give a little, save the emergency, and I will pay you back if I earn it." Sheng'er shook his head helplessly, and took out some scattered silver and gave it to Hu'er. Everyone didn't bother to tease the tiger anymore, patted their butts, and dispersed.

The three elders of the Liu family are named Liu Yunhu, nicknamed Hu'er, he has been a troublemaker since he was a child, he doesn't like to study, he often fights with people, he smoked cigarettes when he was a teenager, and secretly gambled. Back then, Liu's parents were not angry because of him. But the old man in the world loves the child, and maybe he still wants the prodigal son to turn back, so he married Hu'er early and gave him a good courtyard. But the third child did not change because of this, and later he even ate, drank, prostitute and gambled, even sold the yard, and lived in the Liu family's cowyard, and his wife was so angry that she went back to her parents' house and never returned. But Hu'er is still idle, relying on asking her two brothers for money to get by. The three brothers of the Liu family are compatriots, but they are completely three, and no matter how capable the two brothers are, they can't control Hu'er. Let's leave that at that.

The days go by quickly. Gradually, the weather is getting hotter, and the annual summer harvest season is here again, and the village is busy with wheat harvesters, mills, and small autumns. What about Hu'er? From time to time, he also helped his second brother, shouting and shouting people in the field and in the field, and running errands. was just done, but the news that the boss of the Liu family was critically ill came, and he didn't say it, but he was entangled in the lotus and led the tiger to hurry on the road.

This time, Sheng'er was very complicated. Second, his eldest brother has only one daughter, and he has gone to an unfamiliar place and does not know how to act, and has no score in his heart; third, and most importantly, he wants to find out his eldest brother's property for the future.

But things were worse than expected, when they arrived, the boss of the Liu family had already passed away and was killed in battle, plus the war was in chaos, no one took care of things at all, and his sister-in-law had already buried people on the spot. Because of the property, these two brothers-in-law fell out with their sister-in-law and niece. In the end, Sheng'er and Hu'er came back with a belly full of bags and empty hands. Later, I heard that the sister-in-law of the Liu family had remarried someone. Of course, that's another story.

Gradually, summer turned to autumn, and the discussion about the Liu family in the village gradually stopped, but Leng Buding spread another news about the Sun family, and the streets and alleys became lively again. Sun's house is at the mouth of the alley in Beitou Lane, Liuwan Village. Although the surname Sun is not a big surname in Liuwan, it is not the only one. Of course, these families surnamed Sun are still a little related, which means that the age of the Sun family coming to Liuwan is not too long. But the Sun family's house is quite conspicuous in the northeast of the village. The high brick courtyard wall, although there is no eaves stretching out of the gate tower that climbs the stairs, is integrated with the tall courtyard wall, and compared with the surroundings, it gives people a more solid feeling.

Judging from the situation in the hospital, the previous generations of the Sun family were not prosperous, but it can be said that there has been a turnaround in the generation of Ming Wa's father, giving birth to five boys and four girls. The old man of the Sun family has a stubborn temper and can work hard, and he takes a few big children to do this and that at a sky-high price, and the crops in the field grow exceptionally well. The wife of the Sun family will also run the house, and the family is often well organized. Although there are many children and tight needlework, the wives and children are well-groomed, and the children's families are neat and tidy, and they all look capable, and even the three children of the Sun family were admitted to the provincial capital to study.

People often say that the eldest is simple, the second is slippery, and the third is left to take care of himself. But the third child of the Sun family is not crooked, his brain is active, and he is good at studying. Knowing that it is not easy for him to study at home, he respects his brother very much. This baby's big name is Sun Qidong, and his nickname is Dongwa. In a small village, it is not easy to come out with such a good student, and the Sun family is naturally very proud.

After coming out of school, Dongwa did something in the provincial capital, and it was quite smooth to marry a wife and start a family, but there was one thing that didn't go well, Qidong's wife gave birth to two daughters in a row, but there was no kid. For this reason, the father of the Sun family is angry and wants to pass on one of the children of the eldest Mingwa to Dongwa.

This Mingwa is named Sun Qiming. Mingwa is now three sons and two daughters. The eldest is a son, the second is a son, the third is a daughter, the fourth is a daughter, and the younger is a son. It stands to reason that Qiming has many sons, and it is nothing to give one to Dongwa, and the baby can go to the city, which is much better than in the village, but this Mingwa's wife cherishes the baby and is reluctant to give it.

Actually, there is another reason for this. Qiming's three sons, the eldest baby is not stupid, but it seems that he is always a little less than ordinary people; the second baby is very good, but some are too sincere; only the third baby is the most likable, clever and good-looking. But Qidong and his wife still want three babies. It's really hard to win people's love. Therefore, although the father of the Sun family said it, the matter of the stepchild cannot be settled for a while.

Recently, I heard that Dongwa went to the west to teach at Kang Da again. What kind of school Kang Da is, no one in the village can explain. Some people say that Dongwa got acquainted with someone in the organization and left with them. Some people also said that Dongwa didn't like his wife anymore, and he got along with a beautiful lady, and he wanted to go to Kangda, so he followed. Anyway, there is everything, only the Sun family is in the dark. Exactly what is going on, no one can say clearly. Although the old woman of the Sun family has many children, her children's hearts are still quite heavy, and there is no news of Dongwa for a long time, and she often cries alone. As for the old man of the Sun family, as soon as he remembered that Dongwa had taken the initiative to go to Kang Da, he was so angry that he would not fight anywhere.

In their spare time, people in the village like to be together with the Li family. On the one hand, it is to have fun, and on the other hand, it is also concerned and comes up with ideas. They all urged the old man of the Sun family to send someone to the west to find Dongwa, but he heard that there was a war and a fire wherever there was fire, so that the old man of the Sun family did not dare to act rashly for a while.
