There is no moon tonight, clouds float by from time to time, and even a few stars can't be seen. A kerosene lamp is hung in the yard, which makes it look bright.

He Da raised his glass and said, "Lizheng, thank you for borrowing this lamp, otherwise everyone would not be able to see clearly if you wanted to drink."

Li Zheng He Daocheng was sent by the Yingtianwu. He was old and had a slender body on the edge of the Bian River for a lifetime. His bones were thick and big, although he was old, his hair was white, and his face was very rosy. He was cheerful and fair in his work, and was respected by the villagers.

The land management business is a bit different from the local ones. It is not a service, but some of the elements of officials. A symbolic payment of two stagnant coins a year and ten acres of tax-free land are not allowed to serve other workers, which means that there is a quota for exemption from service at home. For example, He Daocheng, who is over 60 years old and is over the age of serving, has one for exemption from service in his son.

After drinking He Dajing's wine, He Daocheng said loudly: "A Da, what are you doing to say this? It is a rare happy event for your family to reunite today. A lamp is worth nothing. I also bring some crispy candy here for your children to eat."

He Da thanked him quickly and turned to greet his son. But he saw him standing beside his mother, holding the corner of his clothes, putting his fingers beside his mouth, looking at him timidly, but he couldn't come. This child grew up at this age and this was the first time he saw him and never dared to recognize him.

He Da's wife gently pushed the child and whispered: "Go quickly and thank you Li Zheng Aweng."

The child walked forward, took the candy from He Daocheng's hand, and whispered: "Thank you, Ahon."

He Daocheng touched the child and said with a smile: "There are shadows of He Da between the child's eyebrows and eyes. It's indeed his child. Let me ask you, how old is this year? What's the name?"

The child said, "I am eight years old this year and my name is Dog Head. My mother said, "I was in trouble when I was born, and my life was a little bad. I would like to give you a bad name. I live in Dad Meng's house and I am often beaten. Dog Head cannot be beaten, so I can't be beaten if I give this name."

He Daocheng sighed: "Poor, your child has suffered a lot. Now that you have returned home, with a house and a village, you will not be hungry even if you are suffering from disaster. Eat candy quickly and go to school in a few days. Let the teacher give you a good name and not be beaten."

The dog head ate a piece of candy, closed his mouth and tasted the sweet taste. After a while, he asked gently: "What is my last name?"

He Daochengdao: "Of course, it's up to your father's surname, He."

Doghead nodded, thanked her, returned to her mother and snuggled up to her. He Da’s wife held her son’s shoulder and wanted to say something, but couldn’t say it, and didn’t know where to start. That year, she couldn’t watch her son starve to death, and she didn’t want to find a way out for herself. This time, she went there for seven years. Her son did not starve to death, but she didn’t even know what her surname was.

The poor and bastard family doesn’t have so many things to pay attention to. Now when I come back to the He family, I won’t be hungry. If I can pull my son to grow up, she will bring her son back. When I left home, I was just a husband, but I didn’t abandon my son. In order to live, people sometimes have to do something. She doesn’t know the principle, and she also knows that He Da will definitely feel bad when he was not doing that well. So what can he do? She raised the child.

Meng Butcher is a rough man, not very bad, but he is just a bad temper. The two are not formal couples, and when they drink, women beat them, and children beat them. When they don’t drink, they live a normal life and live a stable life. This is how many families come here?

The woman decided to go back to He's house, but the woman was still a little nervous. What did He Dahui think? What would the people around her think? How would she think of herself? She has thought a lot these days, but she couldn't figure it out. She couldn't figure it out, and she came back in a confused way.

Everything was so plain, He Da didn't ask anything or say anything, just like his wife went home and lived for some time. The villagers around were very excited. No one blamed him and happily held a wine to celebrate He Da. What they celebrated was not only He Da's family reunion, but also celebrating that there was such a family who survived the suffering of life.

After drinking for a while, He Daocheng said, "In a few days, the Xiangjun who was teaching me will be replaced. He Da was going to go, but now the family is reunited, so I won't go there first. Take good care of my family. See which one wants to go and replace A Da. No one goes, so I will let the family's Sanlang go."

Ban Erlang said, "I just came back shortly, otherwise I would have gone. Liu Qi's family planted mulberry trees and couldn't get rid of them. Pida's family was pregnant and could not even go. It seems that they can only go with the second brother. It's okay, if he feels wronged, I will do it for him next time."

He Daocheng cursed: "My family does things for He Da, so why do you want to take care of you? Besides, I will be a coach and celebrating well and living well, but I am just a little tired. At a young age, would you be afraid of these? I was much harder than this life when I was a little bit harder than this one, so I came here even more! "

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to drink.

He Da held the cup and said to everyone: "Since that year, I have suffered a disaster, everything went wrong. I thought I had been surviving this life and my whole life passed like this, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when my family reunion was reunited. I have received the kindness of my heart. Drink this cup full of joy!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it, his eyes shining with tears. Everyone laughed and drank the wine.

Ban Erlang said: "He Da has been with your sister-in-law at home these days, and you have nothing to do. You go hunting with me when you have time. Not only do you have some meat to eat, but you can also exchange some fur for some money. You are doing this now and can sell it for a good price."

He Dazheng said, "Erlang, I say something, don't be unhappy. It's spring now, and sentient beings reproduce, not the time for hunting. As the saying goes, a mother is worried when she walks thousands of miles away. Birds are waiting for her mother to return in the nest. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and you should not go against the time when doing things."

Ban Erlang was stunned for a moment, laughed and drank a glass of wine, and said, "It's my fault. I will collect the bow and arrow from tomorrow. In winter, I will take it out again! Then, if you have something to do in the yamen these days, I will do it and help you with nothing to make a bowl of wine."

At this time, the imperial court had a hunting period, but the regular hunter yamen would take care of it. How could villagers usually take care of some small animals? Today, when his wife and children returned, He Da's mood was different from before. He listened to Ban Erlang's hunting, so he started to persuade him. Now everyone has fields and land, and it was not the time when they had eaten the first meal but had no meal, so they could not find hunting at this time. It was the breeding season, and people felt compassion.

That night, everyone parted happily. He Daocheng lifted the oil lamp, took everyone out, and walked out of the door staggeringly.

He Da sent everyone away, returned to the yard, and closed the yard door casually.

Before I knew it, a crescent moon appeared in the east, hanging in the sky with a clear and beautiful place, sprinkling silvery moonlight.

He Da held the yard gate and looked at the shed where the kitchen was built. His wife was packing the dishes and his son sat aside, holding the candy he was giving him. He put it in his mouth, reluctant to chew it, and savored it carefully. He was in a daze for a moment.
