August 15.

It is the day of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, and the time for family reunion.

At the foot of Changbai Mountain, Nanshan Village, Luojia.

The simple bamboo fence courtyard has a new look, and the front door is exceptionally clean. Even the thatch on the roof has been replaced with the newly cut this year.

In the hut to the south side of the door, there was a tinkling sound. On the chimney of the roof, a puff of green smoke rose slowly.

Because of this sound, because of this smoke, in the autumn afternoon, it is very familiar.

"Fifth brother, our iron stove is ringing again!"

Xiao Liu looked at the smoke, listened to the sound, and suddenly showed excitement, "It must be our Aya who is back!" ”

Since the Luo family's father and son went out to serve, the Luo family's blacksmith shop, which often jingles bells, has been out for a long time.

"Aye!"

Xiao Liu rushed to the small courtyard excitedly.

The sound of striking iron in the courtyard stopped, and then footsteps were heard.

The door creaked open, and a figure appeared, and he walked into the courtyard with one foot high and one foot low, looking out of the bamboo fence.

The wind suddenly stopped.

At the same time.

The man looked up, and his face was completely revealed.

"Aye, you're back?"

Xiaoliu excitedly pushed open the bamboo fence door and stood in front of the old man.

"Little Six is back?"

"Well, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are also back, and the third brother-in-law and the fourth brother-in-law are together, and Du Da and Fusan are also back together."

Luo Laohan patted Xiao Liu's shoulder, "You've grown taller again, well, you're still strong." ”

"Aye, you've lost weight." Xiaoliu took his father's hand and looked left and right.

Luo Cheng pulled the fourth child over.

"Aye!"

"Well, they're all back." Luo Laohan nodded at his two sons, "In the morning, your mother said that you don't know when you will be able to come back, and now it is just in time, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our family is reunited." ”

Then another man came out of the house.

But it was Luo Da and Luo Er who supported Luo's mother, and took his wife and little sister out to greet Luo Cheng and them when they came home.

Luo Laohan is very tall and has a thick skeleton, but he is very thin, as thin as a bamboo pole. His hair was gray, and his face was dry, like the bark of an old tree.

However, when he saw his sons coming back, he was still smiling, but he didn't show his appearance like Xiaoliu.

Luo Da Luo's step-ancestor is twenty-five years old this year, his face is very much like Luo Laohan, he is also tall, thin and thin, facing the brothers who have not seen him for a long time, he just nodded, and there are no superfluous words.

Luo Er Luo Chengzong is slightly stronger, his face is more like Luo's mother, and he has a yellow face. Seeing Luo Cheng, he said with a smile, "When I came back, I heard your second sister-in-law say that you are out of the country now, and now you are the head catcher of the county government. ”

Luo Cheng smiled and stepped forward to say hello one by one.

"What about the third brother, didn't you come back?"

Father Luo said, "Come back, I came back with the eldest the day before yesterday, and the second and third came back together yesterday, but the third went to your sisters' house early in the morning, and sent some Boxing gifts to the past, and I asked him to bring a few of your married sisters over for a Mid-Autumn Festival together." ”

"The family is finally reunited."

"Well, the boss has finally returned to benevolence, so let's all rush back for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Aye, you don't have to leave again when you come back, do you this year?"

"No, I'm done this year, but maybe I'll have to go next year."

The fourth man led his horse forward as if he was a little ostentatious, "Dad, look at this horse, I was rewarded for meritorious service with the county Cheng to suppress bandits, as well as the money and silk on this horse, fifty pieces of meat, fifty horses of silk, and fifty acres of land of Wang Zhuang Wang's old rich family next door, all of which were rewarded by the county. ”

As he spoke, the fourth child took off the copper coins and silk cloth on the horse, and piled them up in front of the door.

Luo Laohan raised his eyebrows, bent down to look at the money silk, and then looked at the horizontal knife on Lao Si's waist, as well as the soap-colored hakama on his body.

"I also heard about Wangzhuang next door, a few days ago, a lot of county soldiers surrounded Zhuangzi, hey, why did that San Lang of their family get into such a thing, participate in the rebellion, what a big boldness." Father Luo is very familiar with the Wang family, and has borrowed money and grain from the Wang family in the past.

"Their Wang family is actually not our people here, the ancestral home is Hedong, and later Wang Laocai's father was an official in Qi County, he was the concubine of the family, and then he simply took root here, spread the branches and leaves, usually thrifty, over the decades, but also saved a lot of family business, I didn't think of getting old, and the result was mistaken by a bad descendant."

"Dad, that old ghost Wang is usually the most harsh, and if you lend him some money and food, it has to be usury. This kind of person was originally black-hearted, and now it can be regarded as God's retribution. This time, our three brothers made money, the fifth got 100 acres of good land, I got 50 acres, the younger 6 got 40 acres, and the whole land was watered by his royal family, which was 190 acres. ”

Before, the Luo family had 60 acres of land, and last time Luo Cheng divided it into 20 acres, and with the addition of this 190 acres, the Luo family suddenly had 270 acres of land.

Although there are eleven people in the family, so much land can be regarded as a small landlord in Changbai Township.

Luo's mother came over and pulled the fifth and sixth children to look left and right, for fear that these sons would be hurt when they were outside to suppress bandits.

"You said that you went to the county government on an errand, why did you run to the county, and as a result, you went to suppress the bandits and rehabilitate the thieves, this knife and gun have no eyes, what if you are injured."

"Mother, aren't we fine, and we have been rewarded for our meritorious service." Luo Cheng said to Luo Mu with a smile.

The fourth child said unhappily, "Mother, what's wrong with the fifth and sixth being your son, I'm not?" I'm such a big person standing here, I can't even see it? ”

"You know that you are such a big person there, my mother can't see it, I have already seen you jumping around." Luo Mu gave the fourth child a blank look.

"Mother, I'm fine, the fifth and sixth are even more fine, especially the fifth, there is no. By the way, his current name is Luo Cheng, and the new county has given him a name. ”

Luo Laohan nodded, "Luo Cheng, this name is good, hey, I also delayed, you brothers are so old, I didn't give you a serious name." Luo Cheng Luo Cheng, is it the meaning of success? ”

"Hmm. Juncheng said that it means that it is a success. ”

"This is a good name, since it was taken by the county, then you can use it. The man has a name and a word, and he originally took the table word when you were crowned, but now that you have the word, and you are already on an errand in the county office, then I will also take a table word for you, Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng. ”

The old man read it a few times, "Luo Cheng, the word Shicheng, Xiao Wu, I'll give you the word Shicheng!" ”

Luo Cheng, the word Shicheng, is not bad, Luo Cheng nodded and thanked his father for the word.

"Little Liu, or you can call Shixin, Shicheng Shixin, just right." Luo Laohan finished taking the table words for his fifth son, and as a result, he also took the name of the sixth son.

"The eldest step-ancestor, the second inheritor, the third heir, the fourth filial piety, the fifth is called Shicheng, and the sixth is called Shixin." Luo Laohan stroked his beard and said.

Luo Cheng stood there stunned.

Little six is called Shixin? Roshison? His name is Luo Cheng? This relationship sounds a bit messy. Shouldn't it be Luo Chengzi Shixin, why is Luo Cheng's younger brother called Shixin?

But he suddenly thought of another thing, ordinary countrymen can't think of such names, and the names that Daddy gave to his six sons are not ordinary, so Daddy doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. Thinking about it again, Luo's mother was also a woman from the Qin family in Licheng back then, no matter how much it was a side branch, it shouldn't be something that an ordinary farmer like my father could get.

There seems to be some kind of story in this.

"Thank you Aya, I will have a big name in the future, my name is Shixin, Luo Shixin." Xiao Liu shouted happily.
