Walking along the verandah, walking unhurriedly, I suddenly heard the sound of a flute, with a faint sentimentality.

This is a farewell song, and it is also a parting song.

A soldier's wife who went out on an expedition in ancient times, composed a song for her husband who went on the expedition, it seems that Jun Zhirou has not changed her opinion of Xing Shisan, although today's engagement was not successful, but she has accepted this ridiculous baby kiss many years ago in her heart.

Xing Shisan's footsteps paused, jumped, climbed over the verandah, stood in the snowy courtyard, picked a fallen leaf, patted away the snow, and walked around, by the way, put the leaf in his mouth.

It turns out that fallen leaves can also sing, but in today's impetuous society, there are very few people who listen, even with the instrument player, the flute is not inferior at all.

The cooperation of a song of falling leaves and the flute, the aftermath is curling, three feet around the beam, just waiting for people to leave, leaving only the person with the flute, standing quietly on the verandah, enjoying a piece of falling snow.

A few days have passed, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Reunion Festival.

The Xing family dragged dozens of people to gather together, and after inviting the old man to say goodbye, it was a lively reunion dinner.

A small family has the comfort of a small family, and a big family has the liveliness of a big family, if it weren't for the old man controlling some relatives who were close to him, it is estimated that it would be difficult for this family to fit everyone.

After all, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, this is an era of laughing at the poor and not smiling at prostitutes, in ancient times, it was classified as a ninth-rate play, doing one set on the surface, one set behind it, and the wind and water are mixed up like this, nibbling bread every day, eating instant noodles supporters, blindly supporting one of their idols, even if they know their true colors, or as always, selectively avoiding indulgence, is this an irony? ?

Art should be supported, but it must not blindly follow the trend, otherwise it is just a deformed development, which is also the reason why Chinese art will lose people, and there are many brain-dead fans, as long as the façade is put up, the true meaning of art will be lost.

No more gossip, down to business.

The old man sat at the main table with some respected elders, as well as a few eldest sons of the first generation of descendants and one or two excellent side children.

In strict accordance with the sequence, the subordinate seats, although women are not like in ancient times, they can only sit on the table, which cannot be surpassed, this is the rule of a real big family.

There will be no chatter and noise, even if it is the New Year, it is still breezy and calm, and there will be occasional discussion of some topics on your own table, and there will be no deviation and fighting.

The old man is here, and no one dares to have the guts, unless you don't want to step into the door of the Xing family again.

"Let's have dinner"! The rule of the year is that the old man proposed, he moved the chopsticks, others have the courage to eat, although the young and the old are respectful, but there is also less fun for the New Year.

But this year there seemed to be some exceptions, after the old man finished shouting, he suddenly felt everyone's eyes looking at one place, and he glanced at it.

"Thirteen, go to your place." Xing Madhu's eyes were as sharp as eagle falcons.

How can this son of evil not make him angry at what he did, and now he is sitting in the women's pile, in the concept that they have instilled since childhood, although they love their wives deeply, they are ashamed of men in the hall, and men should gallop on the battlefield, whip outside, from the bones they have the masculinity of ancient men, but this stinky boy just sat in the rouge pile, happy to think.

"Mom, you eat this". Xing Shisan didn't want to talk to these old stubborn theories, others laughed at him for being too crazy, but he couldn't see through it when he laughed at him, that's all.

"Son, did you hear me?" Xing Madhu's lips trembled, obviously deeply angry.

Shao Meifeng, who was next to her, also pulled the corner of Xing Shisan's clothes and persuaded in a low voice: "Go back to your position, don't collide with your father."

Xing Shisan nodded slightly, but he didn't give in, he needed to speak with his own reasoning. "Isn't it just a family to have a meal together, why not sit next to my mother for the New Year? I think you should come over too, and the family will sit together for the New Year."

"This is the rule set by the ancestors, there is no regularity, you don't understand, do you understand"? Everyone else is well-behaved, and this evil son is always idle, so happy events, how can he not let Xing Crazy Tiger get angry?

Xing Shisan smiled faintly, passed by an old man, and said slowly: "From the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan, why did it decline in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties? Deng Gong told us that in order for society to develop, it needs to keep pace with the times, rather than being complacent.

After a pause, he continued: "Since the founding of Qin, he has followed the rules and will not burn books and build the Great Wall; According to the rules, if you look at the Three Kingdoms, you won't see so much deception; If you abide by the rules and abide by the Tao, there will be no changes in the Xuanwu Gate, and there will be no Song Taizu's yellow robe; The rules are a fart for Ming Taizu, otherwise he would not have seized the imperial power as a beggar. In history, people with rules can only be extremely ministers, and those who really do not play cards according to the rules can be emperors.

Of course, I don't have big ambitions, I don't have their lofty ambitions, I just want a piece of food and clothing, and a family affection."

If he insists on refuting it, it will deny the merits of the emperors of the past dynasties, "You, you ......"

You were speechless to refute it several times, but you didn't feel a little sad in your heart, but nodded secretly, there are many people who understand these truths, but there are very few people who dare to say it here.

Regardless of whether Xing Shisan is a gentleman or not, at least his courage makes him, a father, very admirable.

"Tiger, sit down". The old man suddenly waved his hand, and then said calmly: "In the future family banquet, you can sit wherever you want, I will give you this privilege, if others feel that they also have such courage, I can retire with peace of mind."

Although it is a plain sentence, it is not difficult to see his praise for Xing Shisan.

"Thank you, old man, I toast you and wish you a long life, health and happiness." Xing Shisan also has to inch in, the old man just gave special approval, he kicked his nose in the face, came to the main seat, and toasted the old man with a big glass, what a great honor is this?

After drinking, he also said with a little meaning: "If the old man is still working hard in his twilight years, then why do we need so many children and grandchildren?" Everyone has their own destiny, so why force it, have fun in time, it is the true color, and wait until one day when you can't walk, you will regret it later. ”

"Xing Thirteen...... "Xing Madhu is really angry this time, what does this son want to do?" Is it going to cost the Xing family?

"Dad, work is important, and it is also a man's obligation to protect his family and defend the country, but have time to spend more time with his mother? I was away from school, and he was actually very miserable alone, but you know that she is a person who will not complain, and she will do it and cherish it"! These words are definitely Xing Shisan's heart, his mother can live, and he knows how to cherish it better than anyone else.

But......

This Xing 13 is dead, and there will be the next Xing 13 to take over filial piety for him, but no one will give him an answer to whether that Xing 13 can have this heart.

"Mom, let's eat, this is delicious." Xing 13 retired from the table after speaking, and his mother's bowl was already full of vegetables, which is a copy in many families, but Xing 13 didn't care.

Shao Meifeng was very happy, although the rice in the bowl was bitter, because what she ate was her own tears, but she felt sweet and pleasant, and the aftertaste was endless.

The other Xing family members have different thoughts, although Xing Shisan is unbearable, but his filial piety makes many mothers who are mothers and often proud of their children feel envious for the first time.

Dinner is over.

Everyone was not in a hurry to leave, everyone's thoughts were on the old man, to see if they could get some resources for their small family.

Tea time.

But what was delivered today was not tea, it could also be said to be tea.

Xing Shisan stood up and said lightly: "A few days ago, I accidentally got a century-old ginseng, so I bought some other supplements from the pharmacy and mixed them in, and cooked this bowl of ginseng tea.

I also have the meaning of bribery when I cook this bowl of ginseng tea, I hope that the Xing family can break this convention and unite as one, a person's strength is limited after all, no matter how high your position is, no matter how outstanding your ability is, just like Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms, you will only die because of hard work.

We want a group of tigers and leopards who will go out of the mountain together, no matter how fierce the enemy on the other side, and the crowd will attack them, and they can bite through any obstacle in front of them.

Grandpa is old, he should enjoy the blessings, as the Xing family, we have the obligation to let him put down the burden on his body, I swear here, our family will never participate in the competition for the head of the family, but wholeheartedly assist the head of the family, and complete the obligations of the envoy.

In the future, if you have anything, you will put on the façade and say, there is no need to have one thing on the surface, one thing behind the back, because we are a family.

However, Huaxia is not what we say, it is impossible to cover everything, if there are no resources, don't complain, as long as a person is strong, your waist can be straight, just like the United States today, he can ignore many rules, why?

Because it is strong enough, we can only move forward if we are united, otherwise we will only perish. ”

Xing Shisan didn't want to see the regrets of his previous life, although he didn't know what happened to the Xing family in that space?

But it is only a matter of time before it goes into decline.

That's all he can do.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, uncles and aunts, Thirteen asked the fat man to watch the fireworks, so I won't accompany you." He continues to have made a decision, and he will step out with all his might, not here after all, not here, and he can't force it.

"Mom, you have to take care of your body", Xing Shisan gently hugged Shao Meifeng, although many people didn't understand what this hug meant, Xing Shisan knew that it was a parting.
