Thirteenth

On the first day of the third month, when the tea was over, the dock was already dark and the two families were gathered, and Tuo Ye took Lilac Father and another subordinate to stand in the middle as a peacemaker. On that day, the second father and son of the Wu family came with Brother Yang and a group of subordinates, and Xie Baosheng didn't know what to think, so he brought Lihong with him that day, and they all went to the temple fair.

At that time, the two sides saluted each other according to the rules of the rivers and lakes and told each other that they were not, and they didn't say a couple of sentences, and the two sides were full of gunpowder. At this time, I don't know which of the Wu family's crazy people shouted: "I made that pair of dog men and women who were raised by sons!" Xie Baosheng heard the fire and replied: "Extinguish the anti-water dog thing!" The voice just fell, and the two were easily entangled together and fought.

That formation, many years later, Huarong people spread it by word of mouth, and it was spread with relish.

At that time, there were shouts and killings, and the screams and screams resounded everywhere, and in the chaos, Lilac Father and another accomplice escorted Tuo Ye to withdraw from the land of right and wrong.

When he retreated to the intersection, Lilac Dad saw that one of Xie Baosheng's subordinates he knew was split in the thigh and fell to the ground, bleeding and screaming. Seeing this, Lilac's father couldn't bear it, so he ran over and tore off the man's coat and tied it up. Uncle Narui was furious when he saw it, snatched a hoe from one of his subordinates, and smashed it at Lilac Daddy's back, the acquaintance who fell to the ground saw it clearly, and pulled Lilac Daddy to his body, and then the hoe smashed firmly on Lilac Dad's thigh, almost hitting the back of his head.

Lilac's father was in a sharp pain and felt so much pain that he fainted to death on the man.

In that vicious fight, a total of two dead and more than 30 wounded, Wu Xie and both the leaders were arrested and imprisoned by the police station. As for Lilac Daddy, after he was disabled, Na Tuo Ye thought that Lilac Dad was not injured in the battle at the entrance of the hall, and even the settling-in allowance was waived. only paid for the medical expenses, got two months of living expenses, and claimed to the outside world that it was for the sake of Lilac's father's daily service.

After Lilac's father was rescued, he recuperated for nearly three months before getting out of bed. Later, Tuo Ye saw that he was really pitiful, and recommended him to a blind man to learn the craft of fortune-telling and word measurement, and the brothers who were confused in the gang also came to his stall to measure a word and tell a fortune to help with the business, and it was like this for many years.

The fat man who helped on the street just now was the sixth master of the robe brother, and he really wanted to blackmail a sum of money from Qiusheng.

Speaking of this, Lilac Daddy was a little embarrassed with a look of shame on his face.

Qiusheng didn't go back to the store that night, and he slept with Lilac's father for a night, and after dawn, Qiusheng took out the only remaining piece of Guangyang on his body and stuffed it to Lilac's father, and agreed to let Lilac sisters pick up the old man in half a month at the earliest, and at most in January. At that time, Lilac's father was so moved that he burst into tears, and insisted on abducting Qiusheng for a long time.

Qiusheng didn't dare to stay for a moment, and hurriedly handled things and returned to Yiyang for several days. After settling the settlement with the king's shopkeeper, he took a leave of absence with the king's shopkeeper, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment, so he rushed to Lilac and them!

After listening to Qiusheng's story, the two sisters, Xu Zong and Lilac, were excited, sad and happy. The worried father has suffered a lot, and the person is also disabled, but he is more happy, and his father is fine!

For many years, his mother, grandmother and their sisters have been waiting for his mother, grandmother and their sisters by the waterwheel next to the house. At that time, Xu Zong decided to take Lilac and Qiusheng to pick up his father home tomorrow, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

It makes my grandmother happy, and it comforts my mother and uncle who sleep underground.

The master was still careful, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Xuzong, Sister Man, listen to Master." Jade Shiye's lawsuit is still there, if you don't dislike it, it's better to let Xu Zong and Qiusheng pick up Jade Shiye to come to me first. Now that the whole country is cooperating with the Anti-Japanese Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Yu Shiye's first trip to Meicheng will be active, and the case will be cancelled and closed, and how good it will be to live at home in the future, what do you think? ! ”

After listening to Master's opinion, Xu Zong hurriedly replied: "It's still Master's vision to see far, but it's just causing you a lot of trouble."

"What are you talking about, it's the right thing to pick up your father back tomorrow with Qiusheng!" Master made a decision without doubt.

Early the next morning, Xu Zong and Qiusheng left for Huarong.

One day, half a month later, Lilac came home from work, and it was still early before dark. Seeing a familiar figure dreamed of countless times in the distance, Lilac saw a sour nose, ran quickly, and when he arrived at the intersection, his father's face gradually cleared.

More than ten steps away, Lilac stopped.

The difference between my father and his childhood memories is that his face is much older, and his face is full of tears. A long coat in green clothes faded to gray, with crutches under his armpits, and his legs could not be seen under the robe, and there were two eldest brothers and Qiusheng standing left and right behind him.

At this time, Lilac couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and the two of them burst into tears, and burst out in a trembling voice from the bottom of their hearts: "Dad..."

After finishing speaking, he rushed over and hugged his father, but at this time, his father had already abandoned his crutches, turned his body upside down and hugged Lilac, and muttered in his mouth crying: "Sister Man... My cub... Daddy, I'm sorry for you sisters..."

That night, the master's family and Lilac's eldest brother Qiusheng's father chatted together for half a night, and also discussed that the eldest brother would go home first tomorrow morning to go to Meicheng for a walk, and then make a decision when the father's lawsuit was over. That night, the eldest brother Qiu's father slept in a room, and Lilac couldn't sleep at all, for fear that when he closed his eyes, his father would disappear again like that year.

The next day, the whole family had breakfast, and the eldest brother went home with Qiusheng. When I returned home, my eldest brother told my grandmother about my father's situation, and my grandmother, who was already in her old age, wept with joy, and the ancestors and Bodhisattvas worshiped several times.

Before dawn the next day after returning home, the eldest brother went straight to Meicheng with a few poops, and Qiusheng said goodbye and returned to Lilac Castle. Things went smoothly that day, and it happened that as soon as the eldest brother entered the county office, he met a colleague who had worked with his uncle.

After the uncle learned about the eldest brother's intention and his father's situation, he came up with an idea for the eldest brother. After hearing this, the eldest brother thanked the uncle, went back to buy a few gifts in the street shop, and gave them out with the help of the enthusiastic uncle. The police chief, the court president, and other people who have done the main job of the chief were all sent, and one of them was given to his uncle, who was already the chairman of the county government.

The eldest brother followed the old man to his uncle's office with a shy face, and the uncle was talking to someone at that time. When he saw the eldest brother holding the gift box and bowing his head and calling his uncle, the uncle was a little stunned, and nodded after being stunned for a while.

The old man hurriedly came over to explain his intentions to the eldest brother, and finally said: "My mother's uncle, my father's uncle, if you don't grow old, you have to see your nephew and his mother do a favor, and the county magistrate will come to help say good things!"

The uncle looked at his nephew who lowered his head, thought for a while, turned back to the old man and said, "Captain Huang, brother, after my brother-in-law's accident, I contributed a lot and implicated me a lot. I admit it, I have never spoken half a sentence! It's just that my uncle is in the eyes of their sisters, and I don't care about their children, and I will try my best to talk about it from the county magistrate! ”

At this time, the uncle hurriedly scolded the eldest brother, and the eldest brother hurriedly handed over the gift box, and whispered in a somewhat embarrassed voice: "I'm tired of my uncle." Uncle snorted coldly and said, I know.

Dad's suspicion of the Communist Party was originally a fictitious thing, and the scar guy had a relationship with Director Lu back then. At that time, my grandmother gave a lot of gifts, and the official's procrastination was nothing more than wanting to pit my grandmother for more money, and I didn't want the Communist Party to riot and rob the prison later, let go of more than 100 people, and cut off their financial routes. It's just that for the Lilac family, my father lost his innocence and was forced to wander abroad, and his uncle also took his life. Now that the capital of Nanjing has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have long since abandoned their previous suspicions and joined hands to fight the enemy.

A few days after returning home, the county sent someone to Lilac's house to explain to the eldest brother that as long as his father came back and made a letter of repentance on the escape from prison, the clan would ensure that he would not commit any crimes, and he did not mention his father's suspicion of the Communist Party at all. The eldest brother was overjoyed when he heard this, and after discussing with his grandmother, he decided to take his father back immediately, and the family lived in peace from then on.

The eldest brother rushed back to the master's house again, and everyone was happy when they heard it, but the father couldn't help but cry when he heard it.

That day, my father decided to go home immediately, there was still an old lady at home, and there were still uncles and mothers who took his life in the soil. The master insisted on staying for two days, gave the eldest brother the money that the eldest brother had deposited with him for many years, prepared a gift for Lilac's father and grandmother, and asked Lilac to say hello on their behalf! Lilac studied art for two years, and the master also sent a gift money, and the father asked Lilac to resign his kindness, but he couldn't insist on the master's sincerity, and there was no way to make Lilac's eldest brother kneel down and kowtow to the master's mother.

When Qiu Xiang came home with her father's eldest brother, her brother-in-law's family was already waiting in the courtyard, and her sister had given birth to two nieces and a niece, and the younger niece had run all over the ground. As soon as my father entered the hospital, he knelt in front of my grandmother, and the whole family hugged and cried. After everyone's mood calmed down, Dad stepped into the house, and Grandma saw that she was busy and grabbed Daddy, insisted on letting Dad change into new clothes, and moved a pot of charcoal from the hall, so that Dad could step over the brazier and go to bad luck.

On the steps, the washbasin had already prepared a new towel, and when my father saw this, he washed it and entered the hall and knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and cried bitterly.

After breakfast the next day, the lame father went to the graveyard of his uncle and mother with the help of Brother Lilac. In front of the grave of the uncle and mother, the father knelt on the grave of the two and cried, causing the two of them to cry together, and the father and daughter cultivated some new soil to reorganize the grave.

On the third day, my father went to Meicheng early in the morning with the help of his eldest brother Lilac, and completed all the paperwork and procedures in half a day.

When I rushed home in the evening, it was already dark, and the courtyard was crowded with relatives, friends and neighbors who had heard the news. Liu Sanye said to Ding Xiang's father with some apologies: "Master Yushi, when you went out to ask your idea, you hurriedly sold your house, and I hope to forgive me for the reason..."

Lilac's father hurriedly stopped and interrupted and said: "Third master, look at what you say, if you risk your righteousness and squandering money, my family will all starve to death, don't talk about it quickly, my family still owes you a big favor!!"

The next day, grandma broke the money to make a few tables of meals, relatives and friends in the village, brother-in-law's family, old relatives and relatives were invited, and everyone also gave gifts, grandma did not accept at first, and then she couldn't resist everyone's wishes and had to accept it. My uncle and aunt didn't come, so I called my brother and gave me some gifts, and then left after dinner.

A few days later, Qiusheng also came to visit his father at home, and when he saw Lilac, he secretly stuffed a round mirror for her when he saw that there was no one around. Lilac pushed it shyly, and was afraid that everyone would see it and be busy in her arms. At that time, my grandmother was passing by with firewood, and pretended not to see it, and went into the kitchen to cook rice.

That night, Qiusheng and his eldest brother discussed the plan for a night, and both of them thought that now that the whole country was fighting against Japan, Wuhan had become a companion capital, and there was a shortage of various materials, and it was profitable to sell tung oil, palm rope, melon scoops and other sought-after materials. Qiusheng has been with the king shopkeeper for many years and knows a lot of business, and the eldest brother Qiusheng has accumulated some capital for many years.

Dad listened carefully to the ideas of the two descendants on the side, and also agreed with their ideas, and also came up with a lot of ideas, mentioned some experience, and taught some rules for walking in the rivers and lakes - such as entering a strange store to eat, try to face the door with his back against the wall, and lean on his shoulder; When sleeping, the shoes should be put in order, and the guy should hide everything at the head of the bed to prevent accidents, etc.

The two of them have decided to cooperate with the purchase of materials in four towns and eight towns, and Lilac also followed to help, until March and April finally raised all the materials, only to wait for the rain to send the river water down the river to go to Yiyang first, and resell the goods in Yiyang to sell Wuhan.

In his free time, the eldest brother also took Lilac to visit Qiusheng's house - this was Lilac's first visit to Lilac Castle, and Lilac lived there for more than sixty years two years later.
