The old man said, "In the morning, the autumn is cold and chirping", the words are true, not to mention that the autumn tiger has passed for a long time. However, Zhounan County on the Han River still has a pleasant climate with red willows and green laurel trees. The high heavenly dome is as green as a wash. The sun had just risen, spreading the tender kisses of licking babies, and all the creatures on earth had begun their day. In the small island by the river, cranes stretch out their long legs and long white and black necks leisurely catch fish and shrimp, and there are occasional geese or wild ducks flying in the sky. The snow-white reeds on both sides of the river are gently beckoning like waves. In the distance, the mountains of Rudai shine in the sun with colorful tranquility and tranquility.

Five-year-old He Qingsheng got up on his own at dawn, because today he was going to Xinzhou Mansion to take pictures, he couldn't sleep, and he dreamed of his father last night. Grandma said that this was specially for mom and dad, and when a large family went to the city, they had to hurry up. Grandma dressed up Xiao Qingsheng well, put on a floral plaid shirt, new blue pants, black corduroy shoes, and combed his chicken nest-like hair. Eat some dry food, and ask my sister to take a ferry across the Han River to the state city.

Although Zhounan County and Xinzhou City are separated by a river, due to the inconvenience of transportation, they have to walk outside. After crossing the river by ferry, the three of them walked and watched, the rice in the field of the short road had long been harvested, the rapeseed seedlings that had been planted were green and oily, and the earth-yellow snake-like path was also smooth, and the flowers and grasses on both sides were overgrown. The sun had risen high, and a few autumn cicadas were singing on a thin elm tree on the riverbank. Xiao Qingsheng was itchy, slipped behind his grandmother, took off his shoes and quietly climbed the tree, and grabbed a cicada with a sharp hand. Grandma did not see her grandson, and when she was about to be anxious, she saw that Qingsheng had slipped down from the tree, and the cicada in her hand was still whimpering. Grandma said you little monkey almost scared me to death! Xiao Qingsheng asked his grandmother:

"Grandma, what does my dad look like?" Have I seen him? ”

"Seen, you've seen it when you were born. I've seen it once in the future. Grandma said, "It's just that you were too young." ”

Grandma also said that your father is a tall man with a rectangular face, who walks with his head bowed, but he has a quick temper. When my father rushed back to the house at dawn that day, Grandma had already lost her breath and you were born, so I and your little aunt and uncle managed it, fortunately, I was born smoothly. The weather was good on the first day, and the sky was full of red light at sunset. They all say that you are blessed with a broken cub! Your parents worked from afar, and they wanted you to ask for a picture at home. Grandma said while urging: Go fast and go fast, let your uncle wait for them for a long time.

Xiao Qingsheng listened carefully to his grandmother's words and continued:

"Grandma, so we send the pictures, so Dad doesn't have to come back?!"

……

Qingsheng and his sister's childhood are floating in the sunshine and dreams, doing many colorful dreams. The sisters and brothers plus the three children of the brother-in-law's family are handed over every year, the sister is the eldest, down is the brother-in-law's eldest son, Qingsheng ranks third, followed by two younger siblings. His uncle transferred to the Eighth Middle School of the city to teach, so he moved his family from the county seat of Zhounan to the town of Jiangkan on the Han River. A few brothers and sisters are lively and lively, playing games such as what the Red Army catches bandits, eagles, eagles, chickens, kittens, and so on, noisy and noisy. Occasionally there was a little contradiction, the uncle called the sisters together to ask the reason, let the awkward doll lie on a large bench and say a few times, you said that when you hit ten times to eight times, if you cry and fight from the beginning. It is said that the brother-in-law learned it from his uncle Yun Song, who was the leader of the Kuomintang and had a warlord style. But I heard that it was precisely like this that my mother and my brother-in-law's two younger siblings went to school and had a bit of a chance to get out. The first time Qingsheng was beaten, he didn't lie down, saying that my father can beat me, you can't beat me. The brother-in-law said to play a board. As a result, when it was added to the fifth board, Qingsheng was afraid or fell down. If you want to cry, you can only come down and cry secretly in your grandmother's arms, and your grandmother will turn to his sisters and brothers, after all, his parents are not in front of him. In fact, Qingsheng quite likes his brother-in-law, who bought him a lot of villain books, including "Journey to the West", "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", "WangniangTan", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc., and often tells some stories to the little nephew personally. The brother-in-law is also not biased, and by the New Year, each doll is issued ten or twenty new coins of five cents.

At noon, the three-way photo army gathered in the photo gallery. In fact, it took less than half an hour to take the picture.

The photo is a family portrait of three families, namely the brother-in-law's family, the aunt's family, and the uncle's family. In the front row are four little sisters, all held by grandmothers, great aunts, great aunts, and little aunts sitting in the middle, and in the west stand the son of the great aunt Jiesheng and the son of the brother-in-law riding a wooden horse, Guoxing, and in the east stand Celebrating Birthday; in the third row, the uncle Yunsong and the younger uncle Yunfeng stand on both sides, sandwiched between the big cousin Feng Qiu and the second cousin Chunyue, and the sister Zhenzhen stands in the middle with two bricks under her feet, and a small face half a head shorter than her cousin is full of brilliant smirks.

The photos are very clear, the adults look serene, and the children are dressed neatly and freshly, which shows that this is a happy family. Is it because the little cicada finally died or what is the reason, there is some melancholy written on the face when the birthday photo is taken. Later, the brother-in-law Yunfeng wrote a few words to his sister and brother-in-law on the back of the photo, saying that the two of you are very sorry for the lack of rights and keep it as a souvenir.

Perhaps there is really a fate in the dark, and in the years that followed, He Qingsheng and his unknown father would never have the opportunity to meet again, and the future of a family in this photo would also float up and down with the turbulence of the years.

The ancient Zhounan County on the Han River has a history of more than 2,000 years.
