Chapter 68: The Right and Wrong Choice
The silver in his hand made Liu Er feel that everything was worth it, holding the silver in his hand, this was the first time he had seen so much silver in his life, and the key belonged to him.
The silver was received, and then he was told that there was still something to take, Liu Er with questions, and soon received ten catties of grain and a piece of linen cloth that could make two sets of linen clothes again, Liu Er stared at the boss with both eyes, this volunteer army is too rich, and there are still these.
Liu Er happily prepared to take things home, so that his father and mother knew that he was a volunteer soldier, and he could still have so many things to gain, and when he wanted to get out of Liu's mansion, the people who had received things in advance gathered in front of the door, and they were noisy.
Why don't they go? If you can still eat in Liu's mansion, Liu Er stepped forward to inquire about something, and then it was like being poured a plate of cold water, and his heart was cold.
Now there is a Liu Er who thinks that the most difficult thing is in front of him, thinking that there is silver and food, linen, yes, what the volunteers give is given, it is not a big deal.
However, if I wanted to take things away, I cut my hair!
If you want to be a volunteer, you have to cut your hair, the volunteers will not get used to their stinky problems, the volunteers cut their hair before, and they were a little depressed at first, when they cut their hair, their brains were infected by the pride of the chief, and they were cut in a daze.
When they came to their senses, their hair was cut, what else could they do, they didn't have the courage to do it, so they slowly accepted it, and they also found that after cutting their hair, they felt a lot more comfortable in their heads, at least they wouldn't see swarms of head lice.
Now it's the newcomer's turn to choose, and the volunteers next to them are all watching the excitement with playful eyes, watching their hesitant and gloomy faces change, and they are smiling in their hearts, Nima, finally a lot of people have entered the pit!
Those who received the things were anxious, and secretly scolded the volunteers for being too insidious, if they had said that they would cut their hair at the beginning, there would not be many people who came to join the army to sign up, after all, these bad habits are not so easy to change.
Silver, grain, linen, these are all good things that they usually want desperately, and now they are all in their hands, let them give up these treasures, is this possible!
If you get something in your hand, it's your own, and there is absolutely no reason to give up, but if you don't want to give up the baby, you have to cut your hair, and your hair can't be cut, this is a universal truth, as for why you can't cut your hair, these people don't know why, anyway, this is handed down by the ancestors, and the ancestors don't cut their hair, so how can the descendants of later generations do this!
Soon someone made a decision, slapped the thing back on the table, and walked away with a distorted face, what can you say about this kind of backbone person! The Volunteers let him leave on the spot, this kind of person can't say anything, you say that he admits death and is fine, it doesn't matter if he doesn't open his mind, he won't be embarrassed if he makes a decision, as for wanting to join the Volunteers in the future, then hehe.
Everyone had already received their things, and they all gathered in front of the door, doing their mental work.
Liu Er touched his dry hair, and then touched the place where the silver was hidden, carrying food in his hand, these are the capital for him to marry his wife in the future, if he didn't have these, he would become a poor bastard again, who would look at him. Plus he has a kind of rebellious psychology at his age.
Came to the haircutting place where no one dared to come forward, let the volunteers with scissors hurry up, there were two pieces on the neck, and there was a pile of hair on the ground, Liu Er didn't know what mood he was in, and he took his things and left, and the volunteers didn't stop him.
This world is fair, if you want to take things, then do things according to the rules of the volunteers, there is no way to take the money without following the rules.
There is a leader Liu Er, and then Zhang Tian also stepped forward, he saw the extraordinary of the volunteers last night, and wanted to join them, and now there is an obstacle to the hair, and the volunteers have cut their hair, is he Zhang Tian more noble than the volunteers, his life is just a cheap life, and now he is just cutting his hair.
In the end, all the people made different choices, and forty-nine of them gave up the temptation of the silver, and returned it to the volunteers, and left in poverty, as for their feelings, it is not known, there was once a share of the silver in front of him, but unfortunately he gave up, just to keep the dry, lice hair, right or wrong, it is difficult to say. This is either the difference in the aesthetic concept of the times, or people's lack of awareness of the body.
There are still a lot of people watching the excitement in Liu Mansion, and they also want to see if the volunteers really give silver.
After eating the white porridge, squatting outside and waiting, now the white porridge is occupied by a group of night children, from the big wooden barrel did not scoop out the thick white porridge, can't wait to eat, when they are full, they lie on the slate in front of Liu's house, as for whether it will be dirty, uh, the tattered clothes they wear on their bodies are dirtier than the slate.
Can eat and lie down, many children are humming comfortably, fortunately it is white porridge, how to support it can't hold much, even if the stomach is bulging, it will be fine to soak urine after a while, if you eat so much white rice, it is really possible to die.
None of these children left, because they heard the dog say that they still had to wait for the arrangement of adults, and there was no answer to whether to leave or stay.
Other people are not annoyed to see these children, talking about the people who are hard-working, although they are very sympathetic to the children, but their own life is not easy, they can't help if they want to help, usually those children help to go to the mountains to chop firewood and come back, send to the people who boil salt, at the end of the day, from the people come a few copper plates, this group of children depend on each other, they help each other, only barely live in the world.
After waiting for a while, some people kept coming out of it, and they went up to hear it before they knew that they were eliminated, just because they moved around, they were eliminated, and when they heard such a reason, the people who heard it didn't know what to say, and they heard a lot about recruiting soldiers, but they hadn't seen such a method of eliminating people, and some people might be in good health, just because they moved, they were eliminated, and this selection was not too child's play.
Time passed, there are constantly eliminated people come out, those who are eliminated are holding a bag of five catties of grain, although there is some regret on their faces, but there is also a harvest, the eliminated people have no resentment, the volunteers said the requirements, you can't do it yourself, blame yourself!
After a long time, finally another person came out, this time the person who came out empty-handed, with a distorted face, and the people who were watching the excitement outside noticed the difference, and then surrounded and asked what the situation was.
Everyone's questions are very serious, everyone else has food when they come out, why don't you have any hair, someone who came out knows someone on the spot, and asked, "Boss of the Li family, where is your food!" Didn't the Volunteers give you food? ”
Li Guan touched his head and said in annoyance, "They gave me three taels of silver, ten catties of grain, and a horse of linen, but I returned them all." ”
After listening to Li Guan's words, everyone was dumbfounded, is your Li family very rich? You don't want such a good thing, this is crazy! Everyone looked at Li Guan with the eyes of a fool, and now the people nearby are not good at saying anything in front of others, and the people behind can't help but mutter, "That is a fool, people give him silver, don't want it." His family is very rich! ”
Li Guan also heard people speak ill of him, and argued, "What do you know, if you want to come out with the silver and cut your hair, which of you will cut your hair for the silver!" ”
After listening to this explanation, everyone remembered that all the volunteers were short-haired, and the reactions were different, and some people agreed, thinking that they couldn't lose their temperance because of the silver, and how could the hair be cut because of the silver.
Some people still think that Li Guan is a fool, the family is poor and can't open the pot, and they don't care what kind of fart hair, cut it when they cut it, what a big deal, some beggars in the county town were beaten to death for a steamed bun, and it's not the first time I've heard that your Li Guan's cheap life is very valuable, if you give Lao Tzu a silver or two and kill Li Guan, someone would have rushed up a long time ago! Now, not only is he no longer a volunteer, but he is still a poor ghost.
The original opportunity to make a fortune at his fingertips is gone, Li Guan may have become the laughing stock of everyone, although some people praise Li Guan's behavior, but out of ten people, nine people praise him, as long as one person thinks he is a fool, Li Guan will wait for the rumors in the future!
If other people become volunteers and get promoted to make a fortune, in order to save his hair, he Li Guan discarded the opportunity to become a volunteer, what is the result, it must be despised by everyone.
