August fifteenth.

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival day and the time for family reunion.

At the foot of Changbai Mountain, Nanshan Village, Luo Family.

The simple bamboo fence yard is completely clean and the front door is neat and clean. Even the thatch on the roof has been replaced with newly cut this year.

There was also a jingling sound from the small house in the south of the entrance. A stream of blue smoke rose slowly on the chimney on the roof.

Because of this sound and the smoke, it makes people very familiar in the autumn afternoon.

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

Xiao Liu looked at the smoke and listened to the sound, and suddenly looked excited, "It must be our Aye who is back!"

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

"Aye!"

Xiao Liu rushed to the courtyard with excitement.

The sound of irons in the yard stopped, and then footsteps came.

The door creaked and opened, and a figure appeared. He walked to the yard with high and low legs and looked out of the bamboo fence.

The wind suddenly stopped.

At the same time.

The man raised his head and his face was fully revealed.

"Aye, are you back?"

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

"Xiao Liu is back?"

"Well, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are back, and the third brother-in-law and the fourth brother-in-law are back, and Du Dai and Fu San are back."

Old Man Luo patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder, "You have grown taller again, yes, you have grown stronger."

"Aye, you're losing weight." Xiao Liu took his father's hand and looked left and right.

Luo Cheng pulled the fourth brother over.

"Aye!"

"Well, we're all back." Old Man Luo nodded to his two sons, "In the morning, your mother said you don't know when you will be back. This is just right, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, our family is reunited."

At this time, someone came out of the house again.

However, Luo Da and Luo Er supported Luo's mother and brought their wife and sister out to greet Luo Cheng and the others who came home.

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

However, when he saw his sons coming back, he still smiled, but he didn't show his appearance like Xiao Liu.

Luo Daluo Jizu is twenty-five years old this year, and his face looks very similar to Old Man Luo. He is also tall and thin. Facing his brothers who have not seen for a long time, he just nodded, and there was nothing extra.

Luo Er Luo Chengzong was a little stronger, with a more handsome face like Luo's mother, with a yellow face. When he saw Luo Cheng, he smiled and said, "I heard your second sister-in-law say that you are promising now. Now you are the headmaster of the county government. Xiao Wu, promising, and you have gained your face for our old Luo family."

Luo Cheng smiled and walked up to greet him one by one.

"Where is the third brother, haven't you come back?"

Dad Luo said, "I'm back. The eldest brother and I came back the day before yesterday. The second brother and the third brother came back together yesterday. However, the third brother went to your sisters' house early in the morning and gave me some gifts. I'll ask him to bring you married sisters together for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"The family is finally reunited."

"Well, the boss finally regained his kindness and asked all of us to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Aye, I don't have to leave when I come back this year?"

"No need, I've finished serving this year, but I might have to go next year."

The fourth brother led his horse forward as if he was showing off, "Dad, look at this horse. I am rewarded by the county magistrate to fight bandits and make meritorious contributions. There are also money and silk on the horse. Fifty stags of meat, fifty pieces of silk, and fifty acres of land from the king's old treasure house next door. They are all rewarded by the county magistrate. I might be able to be awarded the ninth rank team leader, but I don't know what happened to the fifth brother, which annoyed the county magistrate, but the official lost."

While speaking, Lao Si took off the copper coins and silk cloth from the horse and piled them in front of the door in a bunch of pieces.

Old Man Luo raised his eyebrows, bent down and looked at Qian Bo, then looked at the horizontal knife on the waist of the fourth child, and the soapy cherry folds on his body.

"I have also heard about Wangzhuang next door. A few days ago, many county soldiers surrounded Zhuangzi. Alas, why did their Sanlang get involved in this matter? Hey, how dare you participate in the rebellion?" Mr. 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 not from our place. Their ancestral home is from Hedong. Later, Wang Laocai's father was an official in Qi County. He was a concubine's son. Later, he simply took root here and scattered his branches and leaves. He was usually frugal. Over the past few decades, he saved up a considerable family business. Unexpectedly, when he was old, he was misled by an unfilial descendant."

"Dad, that old man Wang is the most harsh person. It would be a high interest to borrow some money and grain. Such a person was originally a shady heart, and now it is God's retribution. This time, our three brothers made a fortune. The fifth brother got 100 acres of good land, I got 50 acres of good land, and the sixth little man got 40 acres. The whole lot of water from his Wang family was enough for 190 acres."

The Luo family had 60 acres of land before, but last time Luo Cheng divided another 20 acres. Adding this 190 acres, the Luo family suddenly had 270 acres of land.

Although the family has eleven people, so many lands can be regarded as small landlords in Changbai Township.

Luo's mother came over and pulled Lao Wu and Xiao Liu to look around, for fear that these sons would be injured and touched the bandits outside.

"You said you went to the county government to work as a service, so why did you run to the county? You ended up going to suppress the bandits and quelling the rebels. You have no eyes, what if you are injured?"

"Mom, we are fine, we have made contributions and received rewards." Luo Cheng said to Luo's mother with a smile.

The fourth brother said unhappily, "Mom, what's wrong with the fifth brother and sixth brother being your son? Am I not? I can't even see me standing here?"

"You know that you are so big, you can't see me. I've seen you lively." Luo's mother gave Lao Si a blank look.

"Mom, I'm fine, the fifth and sixth brothers are fine, especially the fifth brothers, there's nothing wrong with it. By the way, his name is Luo Cheng now, and the new county magistrate gave him the name."

Old Man Luo nodded, "Luo Cheng, this name is good. Alas, I've delayed it. Both of you brothers are so old, I didn't give you a serious name. Luo Cheng Luo Cheng means success?"

"Well, the county magistrate said it means success."

"This name is good. Since it was chosen by the county magistrate, you should use it. A man has a name and a character. I originally waited for you to get the word "mark" when you added a title, but now that you have the word "mark" and you are already working in the county government office, I will also take the word "mark" for you, Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng."

The old man read it several times, "Luo Cheng, whose name is Shicheng, Xiao Wu, I will give you a copy of Shicheng!"

Luo Cheng, whose name is Shicheng, is not bad. Luo Cheng nodded and thanked his father for giving him the name.

"Xiao Liu, why don't you call him Shi Xin, Shi Cheng Shi Xin, just right." Old Man Luo took the word "大子" for his fifth son, and he also took Lao Liu's name.

"The eldest brother is the ancestor, the second brother is the ancestor, the third brother is the descendant, the fourth brother is the filial piety, the fifth brother is called Shicheng, and the sixth brother is called Shixin." Old Man Luo said while stroked his beard.

Luo Cheng stood there in a daze.

Xiao Liu is called Shixin? Luo Shixin? His name is Luo Cheng? Why does this relationship sound a bit messy? Shouldn't it be Luo Cheng's name is Shixin? Why is Luo Cheng's younger brother called Shixin?

But he suddenly thought of something that ordinary countrymen could not think of such a name, and the names given to his six sons were very unusual. In this way, his father seemed not an ordinary person either. Thinking about it, Luo's mother was also a woman from the Qin family in Licheng back then. No matter how much she was a side branch, it shouldn't be something that an ordinary farmer like his father could get.

There seems to be some story here.
