Li Wenshi and a pair of children saw Li Yangde kneeling, and they also got up and knelt in front of Li Yangde, silently crying.

"Hey! You, my poor son! This is digging your mother's heart! Li Qiushi also cried and fell to the ground, raising his hand to wipe his tears, Li Yangqing and Wenshan brothers and sisters also knelt beside Li Qiu's side with tears in their eyes, grabbed Li Qiu's hand and comforted him in a low voice, supporting Li Qiu's body.

"Mother, don't be sad, our hearts are very painful, we don't want the eldest brother and the second brother to go, but the king's fate is difficult, today the family must lose a relative, we can only cheer up and look forward, think in a good direction, we must maintain confidence, I believe that the person who goes will be able to come back safely." Li Yangqing couldn't find any reason to comfort Li Qiu's family, so he could only pour some positive chicken soup words into Li Qiu's family.

Old man Li turned his back to everyone, his shoulders trembled, his hands clenched, and he could vaguely see the green scriptures in his hands bulging, obviously Old Man Li was also enduring sadness, hearing the crying behind him, he raised his sleeves and wiped his face, turned around to face everyone, his eyes were holding back tears, he stared hard, and raised his hand to the people in the courtyard, "You guys...... You guys...... How can I say, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, who do I choose? After Mr. Li finished speaking, he bent his knees and supported his waist with one hand.

Li Yangming looked at the emotional old man Li, worried that something would happen to the old man's body, so he hurriedly got up and grabbed the old man Li's shoulder, stood beside him and sat down.

"Dad, I'll go, big brother, don't fight with me, I have made up my mind, I must go, learning martial arts is to go to the battlefield, I am stronger than my eldest brother, and I have a good chance of survival and promotion, you have to believe me, I will definitely come back alive, you have to be happy for me, I am going for the future, you have to bless me and encourage me!" Li Yangwu raised his head and stared at Old Man Li stubbornly, looking high-spirited.

"Second brother, what do you want me to say?" Li Yangde knelt down and walked to Li Yangwu and hammered Li Yangwu with a fist.

"Hahaha, big brother, you are too weak, your strength is too small, you see that your fist hit me like a tickle, I punched it, you promised to lie down, you don't want to block my future, I am the one who wants to be a general." Li Yangwu deliberately expressed his brotherhood with disgust and funny words, which made the family feel better.

"Well, since the second child is determined to go, I don't object to it, so let's go! There is only one point, you must come back alive, our family is waiting for you to return home. ”

"Don't worry! Father, brother and sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, you wait for me to come back, don't cry, please take care of your second sister-in-law and Cheng Gang brothers in the future, I will leave tomorrow, eat a good meal today, mother! ”

"Child, I promise that I will come back alive, earn a military merit and come back, and let you be an official's wife, sons, when my father comes back in the future, I will definitely take you to ride a big horse."

Li Yang went to hug Li Sun and his two sons, promising a bright future.

Li Sun slapped Li Yangwu on the shoulder, "What kind of lady is not a lady, bragging, I just want you to come back alive." ”

"Dad, really? I'm going to ride a big horse, a big horse. ”

"Hahaha! , great, ride a big horse, ride a big horse. Li Chenggang and Li Chengqiang, the two brothers, had a snot and tears flowing everywhere, and when they heard that the tears stopped after riding a horse, they immediately opened their mouths and laughed "hahaha", and the funny appearance of the two brothers amused the people next to them.

Li Qiu stepped forward and pulled up the kneeling Li Yangwu, stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead vigorously, "You! …… Ay! ”

The others also got up, wiped away their tears, and knew that they had to hold back their sadness now, and the women all went into the kitchen to prepare a rich dinner, and Li Yangde went into the utility room to cook rice, and ate rice tonight, and worked for an hour and a half, and a sumptuous farewell banquet began.

Tonight, everyone at the table is holding a bowl of dried rice, not the gruel of the past, and there are several dishes on the table: fried meat with houttuynia cordata, stewed kudzu with pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, and cold courgette.

Old Man Li took out the long-cherished rice wine and poured a glass for the three brothers on the table, "Today, we have prepared a table of practice banquet for the second child, and take this opportunity to say nothing else, and wish the second child a smooth journey and a safe return." Old Man Li raised his hand and poured the wine into his mouth, swallowed it and put down the glass.

The Li brothers also took a sip of the wine glass, "Good wine, Dad, it tastes so good, hahahaha!" Li Yangwu's laughter spread, but tonight's laughter everyone only felt sad, but they couldn't say it, they could only listen to Li Yangwu's laughter silently, cherish it in their memory, and use it to remember in the days to come.

In the face of the sumptuous dishes, the adults ate this dinner a little tastelessly, Li Qiu took his two daughters-in-law to work overtime to help Li Yangwu make clothes and shoes, Li Yangwu and the others sat in the courtyard to rest, Li Chenggang and the two brothers have been wrapped around Li Yangwu like a sticky puppy, grabbing their father's hand and not letting go.

"Second brother, I don't know when you will return, I hope you must always take care of yourself on the battlefield, eat more and take care of your body, you can't just rely on brute force to rush forward, you must restrain your temper, and be a brave and resourceful soldier." Li Yangqing also said a parting message next to Li Yangwu.

"I remember, little sister, you have to be good too." Li Yangwu rubbed Li Yangqing's hair.

"Second brother, eldest brother, I can only say sorry to you, I'm sorry for you, I'll go to Dr. Zheng in the town early tomorrow morning to prescribe you more injury medicine and daily medicine, you take it with you just in case."

"Big brother, you didn't feel sorry for me, I really want to go, thank you big brother for preparing medicine for me, those things are very useful on the battlefield, hehe!"

"Second brother, you can read and write, after all, many ordinary people don't know, if you go to the barracks, you can show your strengths, and you will definitely be able to arrange a relatively safe position for you." Li Yangming asked.

"What the third brother said is right, I must be a general who can write and martial arts in the future." Li Yangwu climbed along the pole and said unashamedly.

Old Man Li sat on the side and listened to the conversation between the four brothers and sisters, and didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the complete family in the courtyard tonight, and I don't know when they will be reunited in the future.

The night was deep, and the hearts of the Li family lying on the bed were deep, and they couldn't sleep for a long time with their eyes closed, and before dawn, Li Yangde went out of the yard lightly and rushed to the town to get medicine from Dr. Zheng.

Today, no one in the family went out to do farm work, they all accompanied Li Yangwu at home, cherishing the rare time, Li Qiu and Li Sun continued to make clothes for Li Yangwu, and Li Wenshi took Li Yangqing and Wen Shui to cook in the kitchen.

Li Yangqing sat in the stove and lit a fire, "Sister-in-law, the second brother is leaving, what should we do for him to take it away?" ”

"Let's make more multigrain cakes! It's not easy to break if you put it for a long time, the second uncle's house must be the second uncle's go, I'll do more, and the second uncle will bring some when the time comes. ”

Li Wenqiu, who lowered his head to wash vegetables, raised his head and looked at Li Wenshi, "Yes! Mother, you do more and send some to the second grandfather's house. ”

said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and the three members of Li Zhongshun's family happened to arrive at the courtyard of the Li family, and the eyes of the three fathers and sons were also a little bloodshot, and they also cried when they thought about it.

"Second uncle, Si Boy, Nian Boy, please sit down." Li Yangwu and Li Yangming hurriedly moved a few stools and put them beside the three fathers and sons, beckoning people to sit down.

"Big brother, who is going to your house? It's me going to our house, two babies...... The two babies are still young, today I am here to say goodbye to the eldest brother and your family, and I will trouble the eldest brother in the future...... Your family has taken care of my two sons a lot. Li Zhongshun couldn't help but choke up a little as he spoke.

"Second brother, don't worry, our family is going to be martial, and your uncles and nephews should take good care of each other when they go to the barracks! Two nephews, don't worry, I will take care of them a lot, as my own son. Old Man Li stepped forward and took his brother's hand and comforted him.

"That's good, I'm also relieved, Siwa, Nianwa, get up and thank your uncle." Li Zhongshun raised his hand to greet the two sons beside him.

Li Nian and Li Si got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Man Li a few times, and looked up at Old Man Li, "Thank you Uncle for taking care of our family all the time, in the future, when my father is not at home, I will disturb my uncle's family more." ”

Old Man Li and Li Yangwu hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them and let them sit down, "Second brother, where do you need your nephews to perform this big gift, I have to ask you to take care of Yangwu more in the future!" He has some impulsive temperament, and you will admonish him on my behalf in the future. "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and they don't worry about their children.

"Yes, second uncle, in the future, we will depend on each other and strive to return to Lijia Village alive."

"Second uncle, Si Boy, Nian Boy, you are here! I came back from the town, brought some wound medicine, and took it to the barracks for the second uncle and Yangwu. Li Yangde carried a large bag of medicine into the courtyard and sat down.

"Then thank you Yangde, you have a heart."

"Second uncle, you're welcome, it's all family."

Since the two brothers of the Li family separated, they rarely had time, and the children of the two families sat together and talked for a long time, and the people in the courtyard seized the time to chat and chat.

Wen Qiu looked at the door of the kitchen, saw a yard of people, turned around and returned to the kitchen, "The second uncle's family is here, their family is really the second uncle, we have to hurry up and make cakes." ”

"Well, it's faster." Li Wenshi sped up the speed of spreading the cakes, Li Wenqiu and Wen Shui made noodles, in addition to the ones to be taken away, they also had to be eaten by the family, and at noon, Wen Shui went out to inform everyone that the meal was open.

"Let's go! The second brother and nephews went into the house to eat. Old Man Li raised his hand and led the three fathers and sons into the hall to sit down, and the other small ones also brought stools into the room and sat down.

Li Yangqing went to Li Sun's house, and the two people who made clothes also came over to eat, "Mother, second sister-in-law, are you ready?" Time to eat. ”

Li Sun took out a large piece of coarse cloth and spread it on the bed, put a few clothes and shoes on it, and Li Qiu helped pack it, "Well, it's done, just pack it, let's go, second daughter-in-law, let's eat too." ”

The three of them entered the hall and saw that everyone had already sat down, and the three of them also sat down to eat after greeting Li Zhongshun and his son.

After eating for half an hour, Li Zhongshun and his son were ready to go home and pack their bags, "Second uncle, wait, I'll get some cakes for you and Yangwu to eat on the road, I'll get them for you, don't leave yet." ”

After Li Wenshi finished speaking, he ran into the kitchen, took out a dozen or so cakes wrapped in oil paper, and Li Yangde handed over some of the wound medicine to Li Zhongshun, Li Zhongshun thanked him gratefully, "Thank you nephews and nieces and daughters-in-law for your concern, hey!" Since the child's mother left, there are no such careful people who care about me, let's go first, go back to pack the baggage, and wait for everyone to gather in the ancestral hall! It is estimated that the official boat is already waiting by the river at the entrance of the village, and the village chief should come to inform everyone again! ”
