Chapter 3354 Xiao An defected to the army
Xiao An chuckled, but his eyes were still looking at Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang smiled slightly, put down the wine cup in his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, just say whatever you want."
Xiao An's eyes lit up, Huo Di stood up, and said to Luo Fengtang: "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the southwest with you, and I also want to join the army!"
As soon as Xiao An said this, the chopsticks in someone's hand fell to the table in shock.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Mr. Sun.
Sun's face turned pale in shock and she looked at Xiao An: "What, you don't want to study anymore?"
Xiao An looked at Sun, although there was guilt in his eyes, his attitude was particularly determined.
"Mom, if your son is unfilial, he is not good enough to study at all." He said with a grin.
"I still like to wield swords. The southwest is not peaceful right now. A small border country has invaded our three counties in Daqi and ravaged many unarmed people."
"As a passionate man from Daqi, I can no longer hide in the school behind the village and read this leisurely book. I want to pick up the sword and go to the battlefield to protect my family and the country!"
Looking at Xiao An's words The light flashed from her eyes, and Mrs. Sun wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Why are you not good at studying? Aren't you studying well?" said Sun.
Xiao An shrugged, "From elementary school at the age of seven to fourteen this year, I was still a boy after studying for seven years, and I couldn't even pass the examination to be a scholar."
"Also, I I dozed off as soon as I heard what my husband said. ”
"It was my sister who said that we cannot have illiterate people in our family. If you want to join the army, you must at least be literate and be able to read military reports and maps. That's why I have been patiently studying in the school."
< br>"Now, my nephews and nieces are I went to elementary school. As an uncle, I really have no shame in going to and from school with these little brats. I feel that my best years have been wasted. This can’t be done. I have to go to the battlefield!”
Table! Everyone was surprised.
In everyone's eyes, Xiao An is the little brother, and they have always treated him as a child.
I have been naughty since I was a child. Together with Yang Yongbai from my second room, I would go up trees to dig out bird's nests and go down to the river to catch fish and shrimps.
Unknowingly, the naughty tiger-headed boy in the past has grown into a fourteen-year-old boy.
Moreover, this person’s attitude towards joining the army is so determined!
“Your brother left home at the beginning of the year, and he doesn’t even know if he can come back during the Chinese New Year. Apart from your sister, you are the only son left by my mother’s side.”
“It’s better now. Are you still going to join the army, or are you? How are you going to spend this year in such a hurry?”
Ms. Sun’s tears rolled down her face. Considering that she was having the New Year’s Eve dinner in advance, she was afraid that it would be unlucky to shed tears, so she hurried. Turning sideways, he raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes dry.
At the table, Wang Cuilian, Xiao Hua Xiaoduo and the others were trying to persuade her, but Xiao An remained unmoved.
Yang Huazhong, the head of the family, had to put down the wine cup in his hand, and the man's complicated eyes fell on Xiao An.
"Even if you want to join the army, you can wait until after the New Year before leaving. There is no need to be in such a hurry!" he said.
The man looked at Sun next to him with red eyes, and said again: "Stay and spend the New Year with your mother, okay?"
Hearing the old man's plea He begged himself in such a tone, and when he saw his mother's red eyes, Xiao An also had a look of tangle and guilt on his face.
But he frowned, still not wanting to let go, and turned to Luo Fengtang for help.
Luo Fengtang knew how much his father-in-law and mother-in-law loved his brother-in-law, and he actually loved his brother-in-law very much.
I think back when I was doing the tofu business with Qing'er, he was only a year or two older than Xiao An now.
At that time, Xiao An was only four or five years old, a tough-looking little boy.
Many times Qing'er comes to see him for trouble, and there must be such a little tail behind her.
Many times he sent their siblings home. When the little tail got tired from walking, he would carry it on his back, with Qing'er following beside. From a distance, they looked like a family of three.
People say that an eldest sister is like a mother, and his eldest brother-in-law is almost like his father.
At the age of fourteen, he couldn't bear to take him to the southwest to fight on the battlefield. But he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to push the question to Yang Ruoqing: "Xiao An, your brother-in-law, I listen to your sister. If your sister says to let you go, my brother-in-law will take you there."
Xiao An quickly looked at Yang Ruoqing, who had been silent.
"Sister, please say something!" His tone was pleading, and there was even a hint of coquettishness in it that he was accustomed to since childhood.
"Qing'er..."
Sun also called Yang Ruoqing nervously, trying to persuade Yang Ruoqing not to let go, but was lightly touched on the elbow by Yang Huazhong beside her.
Yang Huazhong secretly shook his head towards Sun, signaling her to be calm.
Sun had no choice but to say nothing, holding her handkerchief and sitting there nervously looking at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing had no time to pay attention to Sun and the others. She raised her head and looked at Xiao An seriously.
"Xiao An, you have such a passionate heart to serve the country. My sister is sincerely proud of you!"
The first sentence Yang Ruoqing spoke gave Xiao An a high degree of praise.
Xiao An smiled, straightened his chest, and straightened his waist, as if he was already a soldier at this moment.
Changing the topic, Yang Ruoqing continued: "You should still remember that you mentioned to me before that you wanted to join the army, and my sister agreed."
"But I made a request. I hope you don't rush to the military camp first. You can take the martial arts exam first and gain fame, and then join the army."
Why do you have to use the "martial arts exam" to hold Xiao An back?
Actually, Yang Ruoqing doesn't care about the fame of being a civil servant. The eldest brother in the family is both the number one scholar, and he has already brought glory to the family.
The main reason why Xiao An was allowed to stay and take the martial arts examination was that Xiao An was still young, only fourteen years old.
At the age of fourteen in modern times, I went to junior high school.
Let a fourteen-year-old child pick up a sword and go to the battlefield in the southwest to fight against the vicious aliens and fight for their lives under the iron hoofs of the terrifying elephants. Not to mention that Mrs. Sun was not at ease, her sister was also extremely uneasy. .
"I'll give you one year to take the martial arts exam. If you fail the exam after one year, you can go to your brother-in-law's military camp to practice." Yang Ruoqing continued.
Xiao An was anxious, "Sister, the war in the southwest is tense now, and it is the time to recruit people. Besides, brother-in-law and the others have recruited eight thousand soldiers from their hometown!"
"Others are also the first to do so. Back to the battlefield, why can they go, but I, Yang Xiaoan, can’t? No! I must go!”
…
The whole family was trying to persuade him, but this time Xiao An was like that bastard who became determined after eating a weight.
It means not letting go, life and death means going.
Sun held him and cried, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sun to apologize.
Yang Ruoqing is very popular. I have never seen such a stubborn boy. He went to the southwest right after he left school. Are you looking for death? You were going to fight, you thought you were going to visit relatives?
She was so angry that she wanted to tie Xiao An with a rope, but Luo Fengtang persuaded her to stop her.
"Even if you tie him up, his heart is no longer here. It's better to block it than to let him go. Let him come with me to see something." He said.
Yang Ruoqing naturally knows that it is a good thing to go out and see things.
But this person didn’t know what was going on. When facing her younger brother, whom she had raised single-handedly, she suddenly became less decisive.
Concern, worry...
Luo Fengtang raised his hand and patted Yang Ruoqing's shoulder: "I will place him in my tent first, pour tea, report to the army every year, no Will put him on the battlefield.”
"As long as I'm here, I won't let him make any mistakes. Qing'er, please relax!"
