struggle in ancient times

Nothing happened all afternoon, Liao Tingyu played bamboo ball with his two children.

A yamen servant hurried over from outside.

Liao Tingyu looked at his panting appearance strangely and asked, "What's the matter with you? Is there something you are so anxious about?"

"That's right, the old man is back, I'll come over and tell you." The yamen servant said.

"Daddy is back. It hasn't been long in the past. I think Daddy didn't stay in the village for a long time. You don't have anything to do here. Go back to your post." Liao Tingyu said.

This person has traveled a long way, so he should be cleansed when he comes back.

Liao Tingyu asked people to pass the word to Deng Shi and Liao Shi, and asked the kitchen to cook a welcome banquet.

But Liao Ming didn't return empty-handed. The Huang family and the village head gave him a lot of things. At first he went with two full cars, and now he came back with a car.

Such a bumper harvest made Liao Ming very satisfied.

He hehe, he asked someone to drive a carriage from the county government to the back door, and Liao Tingyu had already brought people over to greet him.

"I've only been out for a long time, how did I make such a big move? You got the things, and they were all given to us by your father-in-law and the village chief." Liao Ming was very moved when he saw the people who came, but his mouth Li's words are very plain.

"You and the two children have missed you for so long, and now they hear that you are coming back, so they come here." Liao Tingyu said.

"The children miss me, don't you miss me, son. I think when Dad went shopping and left for a day and a night, the next morning you looked at Dad, and you hugged Dad's leg and cried, that It's hard, no matter how much you pull it, you can't pull it off." Liao Ming looked at his son who is now a handsome man, feeling the passage of time, the little boy who was once a little boy is now an adult.

And they who were once strong are old.

Mi Li used to hear from her mother-in-law that her father could read a lot and was welcomed by his wife, how capable she was, but she had never heard that her father could cry.

He smashed his big clear eyes, and innocently stabbed the knife into his father's chest.

"Grandpa, Dad, is he crying so hard, is he rolling on the ground while crying like rice grains." He also demonstrated.

The black thread on Liao Tingyu's head, "Mei Mili, get up quickly, your clothes are going to get dirty soon after washing, if you continue like this, you will become a dirty doll, and if you become a dirty doll, no one will like you gone."

Mi Li didn't believe his father's words. When he cried before, his father said that he had never cried when he was a child. Now that his grandfather said it, his father was lying.

"Even if rice grains become dirty dolls, they will be clean after washing. Parents, grandma, grandpa, uncles and brothers will all like rice grains."

Liao Tingyu rubbed his forehead. This child is getting bigger and bigger, and he is becoming more and more disobedient, and he is starting to develop in the direction of a bear child.

I used to listen to everything I said, but now I know how to irritate people.

But there are still a few people who protect him well, and they can only move their mouths if they want to teach him a lesson.

As a father, he has no authority as a father at all.

It seems that it is time to throw these two children to the teacher who teaches and let him feel the love of his peers.

Liao Tingyu thought of this and immediately began to think about which school in this county is better and which teacher is better at educating children.

Liao Ming looked at the eloquent rice grains, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, "Look at my good grandson's mouth, he is really getting more and more eloquent, not bad, not bad, he has inherited his father's advantages."

"Father was joking. How could I be so eloquent when I was young? This child is probably a mutation. He only knows how to make people angry all day long. If he doesn't learn from the good, he will learn from the bad." Liao Tingyu said.

Liao Ming picked up the rice grains, weighed them and said, "Now I know that educating children is hard work. Who told you to take him into the military camp before. Now this is called asking for trouble."

Liao Tingyu nodded aggrievedly, "Rice cake is better. People say what they say, they are smart, they have measure in their hearts, they can think, and they have the potential to be a leader. Unlike my family, this is just a monkey. If you don’t fight, go to the house to expose the tiles.”

Mrs. Deng doesn't like how Liao Tingyu said about her precious grandson: "I think you are the one who should be beaten the most now. You have been standing here for so long, you know how to complain, why don't you hurry up?" Dad took it there to wash away the dust. What about the brazier, the brazier is ready to go. Take a step to get rid of bad luck."

Mrs. Deng commanded everyone to clean up Liao Ming.

After Liao Ming finished washing, Liao Tingyu and his two children stood by the carriage and asked people to move the contents of the carriage down one by one and put them one by one.

"I don't know what they sent here?" Liao Tingyu said.

"Uncle, what was it like where you and Dad grew up?" Mi Gao was very curious.

Liao Tingyu didn't know how to describe it, and the place where he grew up was nothing special.

To say that it is special, in fact, it is special here that you can herd sheep and ride cattle. Over there, cattle are very precious things, and horses are even more invisible.

And here there are vast grasslands where you can go horseback riding and relax.

Liao Shi came over and saw his second brother was so entangled, he shook his head, maybe for the second brother, his hometown is not a very good memory.

And it was very short-lived. The second brother hadn't done any farm work, and spent most of his time studying. He didn't know many things.

But for him, everything in his hometown existed in the first half of his life.

Liao Shi hugged the child, and sat down next to Liao Tingyu to describe to the child the fun stories of his childhood.

Listening to Liao Shi's description, Liao Tingyu saw a naughty child near the house, climbing a tree into the water, digging out bird eggs to catch fish, picking fruits and secretly selling wine.

"What is that uncle doing?" Mi Gao asked suspiciously after listening to Dad's description.

"Your uncle, you were very smart when you were young. You learned to read and write with the village chief's son when you were this old. At that time, the family was poor and there was no money for your uncle to study. Your uncle didn't want to sneak to the school in the town. go……"

Liao Tingyu listened to Liao Shi talking about him, just like listening to a story, there was no disturbance in his heart, and his memory was like watching flowers on horseback.

Liao Ming saw this when he came over. The greatest success in his life was that the two brothers supported each other.

Along the way, he saw many brothers who were also from the same mother, some were rich and some were poor.

In the past, he was proud of his second son becoming a parent official, but now he is proud of his second son's dedication.

"You are talking about the past. If you want to know in the future, you can come and ask grandpa. Now we are going to guess the gifts that the village chief gave us. Do you want to see what they gave us?"

The two children nodded and went to open the box.

Liao Tingyu also followed suit. He knew what special products were available in his hometown, but he was still looking forward to a surprise, after all, no matter what he gave, it was a gift.

"It turns out that the villagers entrusted the village chief to send them here! Just tell me, why are there so many? You must be familiar with the second child." Liao Ming picked up a worm made of grass and said to Liao Tingyu .

Liao Tingyu looked at this lifelike straw weaving and smiled happily: "It's Liao Donggua weaving. Only he has this skill. When I was born, he gave me a bamboo dragonfly."

"Yes, this guy looks quite strong, I don't know why his hands are so skillful." Liao Shi was very jealous. Liao Donggua always sold a lot of money at every gathering because of this skill.

What's more important is that he is about the same size as him, but those little girls, Xiao Shuang'er, like to surround Liao Donggua.

"This pair of shoes." Deng picked up a pair of embroidered shoes and touched the flowers on them carefully. The person who made this pair of shoes was someone she had always disliked.

After so many years, I don't know what happened to her. She used to love to speak ill of her son.

Every time the two meet, they fight.

The most special one is a picture of calligraphy sent by the fifth grandfather, although it is not good-looking, it is trembling.

It says "For the country and the people, don't be greedy." These words exhausted all the strength of the old man, and contained all the wishes of the old man.

Liao Tingyu looked at the very inspirational and inferior paper and said, "It's really embarrassing for the old man. He still misses me at such an old age."

"Who said it wasn't? When I went back, the old man couldn't walk anymore. His speech was vague and his teeth had fallen out. When I came back, I kept looking at me, just to see that you went back. No." Liao Ming sighed as he recalled the scene when he met the Fifth Lord.

"Father, you don't have to do this. If I don't go back, the old man is probably more at ease, so he became an official. How could he leave casually? If he goes back, the old man will probably cry." Liao Tingyu said.

"I don't know what you said, I just feel a little bit emotional."

"I will keep this adverb, which is the old man's wish." Liao Tingyu said.

The things Huang Hao sent over were much more normal. Many of them were books. Liao Tingyu flipped through them and found another letter inside. The general content was about what he had done these years and what interesting things he had encountered. , and then asked him if he was okay.

Between the lines, Liao Tingyu seemed to see that free and easy rich son who didn't care about the world.

Huang Zilan saw it too, and said, "My cousin hasn't changed at all after all these years."

What Huang Yujin sent here was very suitable for his identity as a businessman. He gave him a lot of silver, and also some hard-to-buy cloth. What surprised him the most was that he also gave him some things to invigorate the kidney and strengthen the yang. What are they used for?

The others were all friends from the officialdom before, and they probably paid back the courtesy, which was distracting.
