Chapter 24: Xiucai? Lift people?
Su Huiniang was very surprised when she heard that Xianggong wanted her six-year-old son to go to the Wolong Mountains to find a place to store grain, and looked at Zhuang Yi with a disapproving expression.
"Xianggong, Zihao is only six years old, let him look for it in the back mountain, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Usually he can rely on his physical strength to hunt some small prey on the periphery, but this search for land, but he has to swim in the back mountain for a long time, and he doesn't know how long this place will be found, if it is too close to the inner perimeter, it will be too dangerous for Zihao. β
Zhuang Zijie and the others listened to Su Huiniang's words and didn't agree with them, but because of their father's relationship, they couldn't object. They all looked at Zhuang Zihao worriedly.
And what about Zhuang Zihao?
I was also surprised to hear that his father asked him to find a safe place in the back mountain!
But then I was excited!
Because in this way, he will have crossed the clear road when he goes to the back mountain, so that he can walk in the back mountain with confidence, and he doesn't always have to go secretly, and he has to hurry up every time he goes.
Hey! After that, you can go to the back mountain openly, stay for a long time, and don't be afraid of being beaten by your mother when you go home.
Zhuang Zihao smiled and thought, now he can finally stock up on more prey in space.
"Zihao, what do you think?"
Zhuang Yi looked at his distracted son and asked faintly.
"Ah, Dad, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Zihao came back to his senses, looked at his family members who were staring at him, and asked a little nervously.
He scratched the back of his head with his hand, what's the matter, don't you just lose your mind? Why is everyone looking at me?
"Your mother thinks it's too dangerous for you to let you look for that place in the back mountain, and she doesn't want you to go. What do you think? β
Zhuang Yi kindly answered for his son.
'Don't let me go?' How can this be done! β
Zhuang Zihao quickly ran to Su Huiniang's side, hugged his mother's arm, and persuaded him vigorously.
"My beautiful and virtuous mother-in-law. You just let me go, you also know that your son is very clever, and he has a lot of strength, just a back mountain, how can it be rare to say that you are a son who is extremely smart and has excellent martial arts. Mother-in-law, do you say yes......"
Zhuang Zijie and the others listened to his brother's shameless boasting, and they didn't look like I didn't know him.
That's too undisciplined, isn't it?
"Ahem! Cough! β
"Hui Niang, what do you think, your son doesn't agree with you!"
What can Su Huiniang do, her son himself agreed, and I can't stop him. can only smile helplessly.
"That's it, let him go if he wants to, how can he also contribute to the family. Alas! β
It's all too big, and if you don't obey it, you can't manage it. This big one runs to the side, and the small one runs to the back mountain, forget it, forget it, let them decide for themselves, I don't care......
"Since you also agreed, then Zihao will start to look for it in the back mountain after this farming is busy, find it early, and send food to it as soon as possible, it is not easy to walk in the back mountain with things."
"Zihao, although you have great strength, you must also be careful in the back mountain. You know! β
Zhuang Yi looked at his son seriously and warned.
He didn't want to lose a son in search of a place, and that would be more than worth the loss.
He wanted everyone in his family to be well, and he didn't want to lose any of them, otherwise he wouldn't have learned that there would be turmoil and natural disasters, so he began to prepare, instead of waiting and watching first.
Zhuang Zihao looked at everyone's expressions very seriously, and he also knew that this matter was serious, and Hou Shan Jue couldn't mess around. Caution is paramount.
"My son will definitely pay attention to safety when he knows about it. Be of good cheer. β
"It's good that you know the measure, then you often go to the back mountain, you also know what is going on there, I won't say much here."
"Hui Niang, when Zihao goes up the mountain, prepare more food for him, which consumes a lot when walking on the mountain. You can't do it without enough supplements......"
"Good!"
"Yunjin, you guys are at home to give your mother a hand."
"Got it, Dad!"
The three sisters replied at the same time.
"Dad, what about me, what am I doing?"
Zhuang Zi'an looked at everyone who had a division of labor, but he didn't have anything?
"Zi'an, your top priority is to study hard in the academy, and strive to be admitted to Xiucai before the disruption comes, if you can be admitted to the juren, it will be better."
"It's Daddy! The son must work hard to get in. β
"But Dad, why do you have to be admitted to the lifter?"
"Second brother, you don't have to ask your father, I can tell you."
"Second brother, you say."
Zhuang Zijie sneered.
"It's not because of the border gates."
"Border gates?"
Zhuang Zi'an thought of the eldest brother who was still at the border, and his expression was not very good.
"Hmph, isn't it, these two countries are fighting, what is the biggest loss, isn't it just people, they will lose a lot of soldiers when they fight, this soldier is gone, and it can't be made up."
"But in our family, isn't the eldest brother in the army? Are we going to send people again? β
"Yes, our family plus the eldest brother, but there are five men, even if one goes, there are still five, heh! Have you decided that the government will spare ordinary villagers like us in order to have more soldiers? β
Zhuang Zi'an thought about what the second brother said, and his face changed greatly. He knew that what the second brother said was right. There are indeed too many men in the family. With the large reduction of border soldiers, the government will definitely recruit a large number of soldiers. Our family, will definitely be one of them.
"Then as long as I am admitted to Xiucai, won't the family be exempted from this?"
Zhuang Zi'an suddenly remembered the policy about Xiucai.
"Zi'an, you're still a little naΓ―ve. Do you think a little show will work in that environment? Especially when there are still many men in our family. Maybe, the name of a talent can only make you go. But I, my father, and my younger brother, must have to go to the second, or all. Alas......"
Zhuang Zijie looked at the third brother who was still a little naΓ―ve and shook his head.
"Dad, is that really the case?"
Zhuang Zian looked at his father in disbelief.
But.
"Zi'an, what your second brother said is right, in times of chaos, who cares about you as a little showman, think about how many showmen there are in the country every year, if these showmen don't produce men, how many soldiers will the court lose, do you think it is the time to employ people, will the above give up so many people?"
Zhuang Zi'an still asked without giving up.
"Isn't it still possible to solve it with money, as long as we give more money, wouldn't that be fine?"
Su Huiniang looked at the third son, whose face was a little pale. Shaking his head, shattering his last hope.
"Son, it won't work, they won't take money at that time, they will only ask for people."
"Mother, then, do you really want to let your father go to the battlefield, my eldest brother has been there for three years, and there is no news at all, I don't want my father to do the same, I'm afraid. Woo~"
Zhuang Zi'an threw himself into Su Huiniang's arms uneasily and cried with a whimper.
"Mother, I miss my big brother! When will Big Brother come back...... Woo woo woo~"
Zhuang Yunjin looked at the crying third brother, remembering the time when the eldest brother was there, and couldn't help but whimper. But she looked at the second sister and the third sister who were about to cry, and she couldn't help it.
He touched the heads of his two younger sisters soothingly.
"Eldest sister, I miss my eldest brother too, it's been three years, and I haven't heard from me at all, and I don't know how my eldest brother is."
Zhuang Yunqi thought of the scene when her eldest brother was there, always taking her around to play, and always taking her to barbecue and eat. As long as someone dares to bully her, he will beat them, and they don't dare to bully her until they clean up, he is a good big brother.
"Eldest sister, I miss my eldest brother too."
Zhuang Yunwei was still young when Zhuang Zirui left, but she still remembered her eldest brother, the eldest brother who would let her run on her shoulder, always made a group of friends envious. Because their eldest brother will not be so good to them, and always bullies them, robs them of food, and forces them to work, so they are very envious of her for having such a good big brother.
