From the mouths of Uncle Su and Dong Zi, Liu Fan has learned some information about his uncle and aunt intermittently, and knows that both of them are honest croppers, who work hard in a few acres of thin fields all year round, and can only barely maintain the food of a few people in a family for a year.

When Liu Fan and Dong Zi were young, their uncle also hoped that the two boys could get ahead, but in the end, due to the poverty of the family, they only let the two study in private school for a few years.

When Liu Fan saw the two elders who had run out to greet him from a distance, he felt that the appearance of the two had long been preserved in the depths of his memory, they were so familiar and cordial, and they gradually coincided with the kind faces of his parents in his previous life.

Liu Fan already knew from Uncle Su that although his uncle and aunt were not the biological parents of the original Liu Fan who was substituted by himself, the original Liu Fan was raised by his uncle and aunt when he was less than a year old, and he had already regarded his uncle and aunt as his parents, and he had called his uncle and aunt his father and mother since he was a child.

It is often said that the mother of the child is worried that in the ancient times when the transportation and communication capabilities were extremely difficult, how many wanderers would never return after going out, not to mention that the two were going to fight in the army.

"Qinghai head, no one collects the white bones in ancient times" is a true portrayal of the miserable situation of ancient soldiers.

From the second year of Zhihe, only in Chengnanzhuang Village, nine out of ten people who went out to serve in the army were infected on the front lines such as Shazhou and Ganzhou, and this time the two of them can come back healthy, which is God's greatest favor to the Liu family, how can they not make the joy of being parents!

The uncle and aunt standing at the door were in tears, trembling with trembling hands to help the two who knelt down and kowtowed, the aunt was crying silently, and the uncle said tremblingly: "It's good to be back...... It's good to be back, why are you crying, don't you think the two children are good? ”

When the family finally sat down in the hall, Liu Fan had the opportunity to take a closer look at the strange relatives to him.

Although my aunt was only in her early forties, her gray face was already full of wrinkles, and her hands were covered with thick calluses and cracks formed by years of hard work, like the bark of an old tree.

The uncle is the same as Dong Zi, and the aunt is simple and kind, and she is the most kind mother.

Liu Fan suddenly felt that he was very happy, in his previous life, he was the heart and soul of his parents, his parents, sister and brother were used to him and spoiled him since he was a child, and when he came to this world, he met such a good family, uncle, aunt, Dong Zi, and two younger sisters, it can be seen from everyone's eyes that everyone regards themselves as the closest people in their lives.

Especially the little sister Chen'er, since they met, they have been pestering themselves all the time, although the two younger sisters have grown up in the countryside since they were children, but they are upright and delicate, often outside, the skin is tanned by the sun into a wheat-like golden yellow, the eldest sister has a quiet personality, and the younger sister is a lively and active character, a pair of big eyes are always full of agility.

The family was eating in the hall lively, while talking about some things casually, basically Liu Fan was talking, occasionally the aunt or the eldest sister interjected, and the uncle and Dong Zi basically did not speak, and the one who answered Liu Fan the most was the little sister Chenchen, who was curious about everything.

At this time, after hearing Liu Fan's description of Liangzhou's appearance and wanting to move his family over, he was even more excited, chasing Liu Fan and asking this and that.

In the game-like question and answer with Chenchen, Liu Fan also slowly said his thoughts to his uncle and two sisters, "Father, mother, I also know that the homeland is difficult to leave, but you also have to consider that Dong Zi and I have been away for a long time, and we can't do our filial piety. ”

"In recent years, the war with the Khitans has continued, taking advantage of the war, the mountain bandits in the northwest are even more numerous, and the camp has received reports of bandits scourge every three or five times, that is, this time we rushed from Liangzhou, and the road was not very peaceful, fortunately, we are always cautious, and we know at a glance that it is out of the military camp, so that we can be safe."

"In addition, I want to move to Liangzhou more for the sake of my two younger sisters, and when I arrive in Liangzhou, I also want to send the two of them and Uncle Su's Lingling to a private school for enlightenment, and finally I want to arrange a better home for them."

Hearing this, the uncle said to his aunt in a rare way: "The idea of the babies is very good, and more importantly, they have even taken into account the matter of Jin'er and Chenchen, Fanzi is right, going to Liangzhou may be a very good choice for the two girls, in order for the dolls to have a good result in the future, let's go over and live and try it first?" ”

The aunt smiled and said: "Don't ask me, there are three of you big men in the family, do you still need me to take an idea from a woman's family, Fanzi and Dong Zi are also older, what the three of you discuss, I don't object, right, Chenchen?" ”

"Mother, I want to go to Liangzhou, the eldest brother said, there are pancakes and fruits, and rock sugar gourds, which are delicious."

Hearing Chenchen's words, the family couldn't help laughing.

The aunt continued: "I don't disagree with going to Liangzhou for the sake of the family being together, and for Jin'er and Chenchen, but what Fanzi just said, is it appropriate to send the three girls to a private school, my mother has never heard of the girl's family to enlighten or anything, especially Jin'er is thirteen years old, and it will be almost time to talk about marriage in two years, and it is even more inappropriate for such a big girl to go to a private school." ”

After the aunt finished speaking, Jin'er lowered her head shyly.

Liu Fan immediately replied: "It's okay not to go to the private school, let's invite the teacher to the house, and if not, I'll teach the three of them myself." ”

After Liu Fan finished speaking, his uncle and aunt both looked skeptical, and their faces were clearly written: "Can you do it?" ”

At this time, Chenchen clapped his hands and said, "Dad, I listen to my eldest brother, I want to learn to read." ”

"Okay, as long as you listen carefully to your brother's words, my brother will take you to eat the best snacks in Liangzhou City."

The little girl was immediately fascinated.

"Mother, Uncle Su's Hui'er hasn't allowed anyone yet, right?"

"Chala, do you have a crush on Hui'er? Your father and I are thinking about finding a matchmaker to talk to Uncle Su and promise Hui'er to you. ”

"No, no, no, mother, it's not me, I've already taken a fancy to a girl, I want to tell Hui'er to Dong Zi, and I'm about to discuss it with you?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Dong Zi immediately lowered her head with a flushed face, but Jin'er's eyes were a look of inquiry, she regarded Hui'er as a good sister, and she always thought that Hui'er could become her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect the two brothers to mention this as soon as they came home, but the situation was a little different from the version she expected!

I heard my aunt say immediately: "The eldest matter has not been resolved, why do you take care of the second child first, there is this reason, let others hear it and don't know what to think?" ”

Liu Fan had no choice but to say patiently: "Mother, didn't I say that I already have a good idea of a girl, and when I get to Liangzhou, I will quietly point it out to you, I really didn't say it casually." ”

At this time, Chen Chen quietly attached himself to Liu Fan's ear and said, "Big brother, I want to take a look too." ”

Liu Fan immediately said: "It's okay to watch quietly, but you must keep it secret for the eldest brother!" ”

The little girl thought for a moment and nodded to Liu Fan preciously.

"Okay, okay, my mother can't talk about you, not to mention that the twisted melon is not sweet. The three of you are in charge! ”

Liu Fan heard that his aunt agreed, and his uncle was even more silent, seeing that the major events in the family had been decided, his heart was relaxed, and he hugged Chenchen and said, "Let's go, go outside with my brother." ”

The aunt said again: "Fanzi, put it down quickly, don't hug it around, such a big girl, you are used to not knowing the southeast and northwest for two days." ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Mother, girls have to be pampered." ”

The aunt scolded with a smile: "I've been out for four years, where did I learn these messy things!" ”

At this time, Dong Zi said in a sullen voice: "Mother, my brother asked a Khitan soldier to smash his brain with a stone a few times on his head on August 13, and he was in a coma for a long time. ”

"Ah, is the injury serious?"

The uncle and aunt stood up nervously at the same time, and the aunt walked over quickly and grabbed Liu Fan and said, "Squat down and let my mother take a look." ”
