The people dispersed, and it was getting late, but no one was sleepy.

The family gathered in the hall, and they all had a lot to say and ask, but because there were too many, they didn't know where to start for a while.

There are no words for each other, only warm smiling faces.

The family reunion, the atmosphere was warm, and after feeling it together for a while, Lin Youcai spoke first and asked:

"Da Lang, where is your Uncle Pan? What about the other men who applied for the draft? Are they all back together? ”

"The conscripts have to come back, but only partially, the border war is only over temporarily, and the general expects that the Xianbei people will come again after planting in the spring next year, so a large number of troops are still needed to guard in Yangyang."

Da Lang said with a smile: "Uncle Pan and the people who have returned to their hometowns are a few days behind us, and it is estimated that they will all come back in a few days, Dad, Uncle Pan is also a captain now, if he does not return to the north, the county order can arrange for him to find an errand in the county, so that Aunt Xiao and Sister Xian'er will have a better life." ”

This is really good news, Lin Youcai and his wife looked at Lin Meiyi and sighed: "Your master is out of the way now." ”

Lin Meiyi smiled and didn't respond much, she always felt that with Uncle Pan's character, it was hard to say whether her master could live a stable life.

"Da Lang, what about you?" Lin Youcai asked with concern.

He saw that his son's return was not like he wanted to stay.

Thinking of this, Lin Youcai's heart lifted.

In his eyes, nothing is more important than a family being neatly organized.

Sure enough, the guess in his heart was confirmed, and Da Lang got up and knelt down again.

"Father, mother, I promised the general to stay in the north, please forgive my son for being unfilial!" Lin Dalang lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look up at his parents at all.

He didn't have to look at it, he knew that his mother's eyes were already full of anger.

In the end, he was still afraid, and hurriedly added: "But the general is kind and has set up a government for me in Yang County?" We can all go over as a family. ”

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about!" Liu still can't hold back, Lin Youcai doesn't check? She's already rushing forward? gave Da Lang a big slap in the back.

"Your future is important, and you don't want the future of your younger siblings, right?"

Liu Shi said angrily while fighting: "Do you know how difficult it is for our family to get stability now? Finally got the dog into the academy? Finally, Erya found a female master, and finally our family gained a firm foothold in the county, and finally your eldest sister found a stable livelihood? What do you say? We're all gone in Lu County! ”

"You're an unfilial son? Go! Quit, General Rausch, and go home and farm!" ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the strength of his hands became heavier and heavier, and Da Lang's ears were red? I didn't dare to say a word.

In the end, Lin Meiyi's sister and brother can't stand it? Hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the angry mother down.

"Mother? Don't be angry, anger hurts you. Erya patted her mother on the back and persuaded.

The dog held his mother's hand and nodded? "Yes, you are calm and calm, what do we have to discuss, how majestic is it to be a general, you have a general's son, you look at my aunt and my uncle, can I flatter you well?"

"That's it, mother, let's sit down and drink tea, and then discuss slowly, everything can be discussed, nothing is not negotiable." Lin Meiyi half-pulled and half-pulled, and finally pressed her mother down.

After a bowl of herbal tea, Liu's anger disappeared a lot, and looking at Da Lang's red ears, his heart was still throbbing with anger.

Lin Youcai sighed and looked at his mother, "Mother, look at this ......"

"I'm too old to take care of it, you young people can do it yourself." Zhang interrupted his son's words, picked up the teacup, and drank slowly.

The meaning was obvious, and no matter how it was decided, she had no opinion.

Lin Youcai looked at Lin Meiyi helplessly, Lin Meiyi spread her hands and said, "I can do it, the embroidery workshop just gave me a large sum of silver, for the time being, our family doesn't have to worry about the silver, now it's up to the dog and Erya, Mr. Teaching is easy to find, but like Wang Shanchang and his wife, it is not easy to find." ”

Lin Youcai looked at Erya Dogan, the two of them looked entangled, and it seemed that they couldn't think of anything for a while.

Lin Dalang felt his father's meaning and was moved in his heart, but he couldn't bear to ruin the future of his younger siblings, and asked the family to go to the north with him to endure hardships for his selfishness, so he said:

"Dad, the north is desolate, it's so hot during the day that you want to wear an undershirt, and when it's cold at night, you have to wear a jacket, and the winter wind and snow are even more unbearable, it's too bitter, you better stay at home, and then take you to the capital to enjoy happiness, the general said, I have this life."

It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Liu's heart suddenly softened, and he stiffened his neck and asked, "How did you survive such a hard day?" ”

Da Lang raised his head and grinned, and replied nonchalantly: "It's good to get used to it slowly, life is more important than anything else." ”

His smile, with his dark and rough skin, made Liu's heart ache, and he hurriedly snuggled in front of Lin Meiyi, afraid that his tears would be seen by the children.

Lin Meiyi felt uncomfortable when she saw her mother like this, she knew that the hardships suffered by her eldest brother would never be as simple as he said.

The harsh climatic environment, the difference between the north and the south, as well as the backward transportation and medical conditions in ancient times, can all kill people.

In the past year and a half, although she deliberately did not let herself remember what happened to her eldest brother in the Northland, she always held on to her heart, and nightmares often made her tremble.

At that time, she was thinking that it would be good if she was by her eldest brother's side, even if she only handed over an immune pill when he needed it, she would be able to feel a lot more at ease.

She believes that her family must be of the same mind as her.

"Mother, let's not be separated as a family, I don't want to be separated, and live this day by day." Lin Meiyi said in a low voice.

Liu Shi raised his head from her arms, and his red eyes had recovered a lot.

She looked at Erya and Goudan, and sighed: "Look again, the hour is not early, they will go back to the academy tomorrow, rest first." ”

She needs time to think about it, and Erya and Goudan also need time, anyway, she can't come up with an idea today.

So everyone nodded, and went back to their houses.

Liu got up and drove Erya and Goudan back to the room to rest, Lin Meiyi waited for Zhang's to return to the house, and then the mother and daughter called Shang Xiangping and went to the kitchen to boil hot water, so that Da Lang could take a comfortable hot bath.

When the mother and daughter brought water, Ah Da and Xiao Hei had already put the bulky bath bucket in the house.

Daro is undressing.

I got used to it in the barracks, and suddenly forgot that my home was not a barracks, so I stripped off my upper body and wore only a pair of big pants to hang around the house.
