(I wish all students who take the college entrance examination a gold list title!) Bless the college entrance examination! ）

The snow stopped.

When the sky was about to dawn, the snow stopped. When the sun comes out, the sun shines on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light. The snow alone seems to be a harbinger of this year's year. In the past two years, perhaps because the way of heaven has returned to orthodoxy, the year has become better and better, not only the plague that once raged has long disappeared, but even the drought and flood have been alleviated a lot, and the year has improved, making the people full of expectations for life and the future.

However, for some people, this expectation has been shattered, at least for Li Mingren, he has no expectations for the future at all.

"It's supposed to be the last snow of the year......

After getting up, standing in the courtyard, Li Mingren's eyes stared at the snow, silently thinking, vaguely he could hear the sound of reading from his son's room, looking at the faint light reflected through the window paper, his heart warmed, and the originally silent mind warmed up again.

Xu is son read a book all night. When, for the future, Li Mingren pinned everything on his son. He believes that one day, his son will be able to glorify his ancestors and be able to be named on the gold list.

If there really is that day, even if you die, you can go to see your ancestors and ancestors. People, there must always be hope in this life.

But now, he is going to be a soldier, and what will he do in the future without his support at home? Can the Boss continue to study? As for the second child...... Ay! After a long sigh, Li Mingren's mood became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walking out, it was the second Yushu. Compared with the boss, the second brother hasn't been at home since a few years ago, and he's been with a group of gangsters all day long. Didn't he know that something had happened to his family?

"Second child, I'm out separately today, let's stay at home for the past two days......"

Li Mingren looked at his son and said, he wanted to stay with his son for two more days, after all, who knows if he would be able to come back alive if he joined the army. At this time, the government suddenly recruited troops, it must be a northern expedition, whether it can come back alive or not, it is all fate.

Maybe in the future, we will never see the two of them again, let alone the day when the boss will be named on the gold list.

"Daddy......"

Wang Yushu looked at his father with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, he already knew the news that his father had been ordered to be soldiers.

"It's fine."

Seeing the melancholy on the second child's face, Li Mingren immediately knew that it seemed that the second child also knew, so he said with a smile.

"You don't know, Yushu, back then, our Li family ancestor was also the minister of the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for the ancestors' fighting, how could our Li family be a hundred households in the Gao Emperor's meeting, this official is not small, although the family is now in the middle of the road, but our Li family is also a family of soldiers, your father and I went to be soldiers, that is also really right, if it is logically speaking, we should have been soldiers a long time ago, after all, it is a military household, isn't it?"

Dad's words made Wang Yushu's expression darken, he knew that his father said this just to comfort him, thinking that he had been worrying about his father and mother all these years. So he looked at his father and said.

"Dad, actually, actually, I asked, if there is only one person in the family who is drawn to enlist in the army, it will be fine, Dad, this family, all rely on you to support alone, if there is no you, this family may have to drink the northwest wind, the eldest brother is better than me in reading, it must be a seed of reading, even Mr. said that I am a foolish head, even if I read, at most I can only read. Again, let me be a soldier......"

Jiangbei's military system seems complicated, but it is actually very simple, that is, ten households draw a soldier, and the lottery system is implemented, and the person who is selected from the family does not have to be drawn to join the army, and other people can also be replaced, as long as the health is not overage or young. Therefore, in Jiangbei's newspapers, there are often news of "going out for my father" and "joining the army on behalf of my brother", and the reason why this is so is because Jiangbei needs soldiers, and for this reason, it can be appropriately "flexible". And this flexibility, although it only has some drawbacks, has also allowed Jiangbei to get enough troops.

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense, even if you are a soldier, it should be me, and it won't be your turn!"

Li Yuqian, who was reading a book, heard his brother's words, so he put down the book and walked out of the door and said.

"Dad, Yushu is right, our family can't do without you, let's go!"

As the eldest son, he must take the initiative to stand up and share his parents' worries. And as the eldest brother, he has to take care of the younger brother.

"Brother, you can't go, the future of our Li family is all directed to you!"

Yushu looked at the eldest brother and said, and then gestured there again.

"Look, I'm taller than you, and I'm stronger than you, I want to be a soldier, and I'm a soldier, maybe, maybe I can still get a career in the army!"

Yushu shook his head as he spoke.

"I can't study, I can't strike iron, I don't want to strike iron, this soldier is the ancestral business of our Li family, since the ancestors were able to find a hundred households, then I, I may also be able to find a background, when the time comes, even if I can't shine on the lintel, I can also worry about food and clothing, brother, don't rob me, you, you can read good books, you can be an official, our Li family can all point to you."

After saying this, Wang Yushu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to his father.

"Dad, I haven't caused you much trouble over the years, but I haven't done much filial piety, just to make you angry. This, let my son return to filial piety......"

"You, you kid......"

Li Mingren looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground, and said again and again.

"This one has to go for Lao Tzu, and I will go, I will go, you can't, you can't......"

Just when Li Mingren shook his head again and again, Wang Yushu said.

"Dad, if you don't agree, I won't be able to kneel here......

Listening to the words of the third master in the courtyard, Li Wangshi just cried silently, her tears were like rain, no matter who she was, she was reluctant, but what could she do?

Even she secretly felt that what the second child said was right, the life of several members of the family refers to one person in charge, as for the boss, he is so smart, if he can be admitted to fame in the future, it will be a matter of honoring the ancestors of the Li family, as for the third child, but he is only nine years old, and the fourth is a daughter......

Only the second child is the most suitable......

But, the second child is also the meat that fell from her body!

But someone in this family has to go, and if no one goes, how can this family survive. Is it necessary to let this good family enter the lowly nationality?

No way!

It can't be like this anyway!

The woman with tears was hiding in the house, and in the courtyard outside the house, Li Mingren stood with him, and he looked at the two sons kneeling in front of him.

They all had to "serve in the army for their fathers", but they were all his sons......

"Since ancient times, no one has been a father who is willing to let his son take any risks, the Li family is a military household, and the ancestors also encountered such a thing......"

Looking at his son, thinking of the few members of this family, all pointing to this blacksmith shop to live, Li Mingren finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Let's draw lots! Let's smoke together, whoever you smoke, it's whoever you want, leave it to God......"

It was another early morning, and the headache of a hangover made Wang Yushu feel quite uncomfortable when he got up. Hearing the sound of getting up, Li Yuqian sat up from the bed, looked at Yushu and said.

"Yushu, I ......"

In the end, Yushu won the lottery, and seeing his younger brother packing up his things there, he opened his mouth but didn't speak.

"Big brother, the Li family will rely on you in the future."

After saying this, Wang Yushu looked at his brother and squeezed out a smile, and when he saw that his brother was heavy, he smiled.

"Big brother, don't pull your face, the eldest husband will immediately take fame, maybe in a few years, when I come back, I will be a military attache on a horse, maybe a few years earlier than the eldest brother, you will be flying Huang Tengda not to mention......"

Wang Yushu said this, his face was full of smiles, and the smile even seemed a little impatient, but ...... Looking at Yushu, Li Yuqian's mind couldn't help but think of the poem he had read, "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times", this farewell, I don't know if I can see my little brother again. Maybe the two brothers will never see each other again.

"Yushu, I, also, let's go!"

Again, Li Yuqian felt that as a brother, he should have the appearance of a brother. I have to protect my brother.

"I can't read well......"

Shaking his head, Wang Yushu said seriously.

"Big brother, if I were a scholar, I would definitely let you be a soldier, but I'm not, and besides, my brother ......"

With a clenched fist, Yu Yushu looked at his brother and said.

"Look at this fist, in the past, when I was a gangster on the street, I was worried about being twisted into the government, but now, when I am a soldier, I don't have this scruple, my temperament, it is very suitable to be a soldier."

Finally, he looked at his brother and said with a smile.

"Besides, I drew the lot!"

It was he who drew the lottery to be a soldier, and since he drew it, he couldn't give it to anyone else.

Finally, after breakfast, on the way to the yamen with a few members of the family, Li Wang's tears couldn't stop sliding down with his head down, and when he looked at his son, he looked distressed, after all, this was the meat that fell from her body. However, she had no choice, after all, this is a family.

So when the lottery was drawn, she took it upon herself to give the second child a look and let him draw the lot, this lottery was not providential, it was she, the mother, who let the second child go.

Will you be able to come back alive? I'm afraid only God knows, but for the sake of this family, she has no other choice. She is a mother, but if there is a slightest possibility, how can she push her son to death.

"Mother, don't cry, it's nothing, isn't it just a soldier, there are many people in the world who are soldiers......"

His son's persuasion made Li Wang cry.

"Yushu, you, you are in the team, but you must be careful, you must not be strong, you know? When you are fighting, you have no eyes for swords and guns, so don't lose your life......"

Before she could finish speaking, she began to cry again, even though she had made a choice for the sake of this family. But, after all, this is her son, the flesh that fell from her. will even inherit the incense of the Wang family in the future.

The son is the mother's heart, this sentence is never false, when Jiangbei first implemented the "A soldier system", I don't know how many women cried and blinded, for them, most of them thought that their son went to the battlefield, that must be death or life. Although it has now been proven that only a small number of people die on the battlefield, and the families of the fallen soldiers receive generous pensions, the women always cry as if they were funerals at every time they are recruited.

When they arrived at the county yamen, the vicinity of the yamen was already crowded, and each of the strong men who applied for the draft was accompanied by several or even a dozen family members, and the women still looked like they were crying and mourning, and there were even cries from time to time in the crowd.

The atmosphere here seems to be a little depressing, and even those strong men who have been recruited, some of them have cried regardless of their masculinity, and Wang Yushu, who is a street gangster himself, saw a few acquaintances as soon as he came to the yamen, so he immediately walked past them and greeted them, and when he learned that they were also recruited, he was even more excited.

"What the brothers didn't say, when we get to the team, our brothers will take care of each other......"

Just when a few people were talking about how to take care of each other in the future, an official began to take a roll call, and everyone who was named had to stand by the yamen after drawing a sign, waiting for the departure.

"Li Mingren!"

Hearing his father's name, Wang Yushu looked back at his father and mother, looking at the tears in their eyes, and like everyone else, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Daddy, the child is gone!"

After knocking his head three times in a row, he walked over without looking back, and walked in front of Guan Zuo, Wang Yushu said.

"Master Jun, I am Li Mingren's son, Wang Yushu, serving in the army for my father. It is my mother's maiden name. ”

The sergeant looked up at Wang Yushu.

"Is there eighteen?"

"Back to the military master, I will be nineteen years old."

One answer and one question, it is quite simple, and there is not even any doubt, the sergeant directly wrote Wang Yushu's name on each book, and will deliberately write "for his father to join the army", not to mention anything else, but with these four words, he can receive certain preferential treatment after entering the army, after all, for the people, filial piety is one of the highest evaluations of a person, and those commanders naturally like recruits like him who are both loyal and filial. As he stood up with the others at Wang Yushu's yamen, he saw a man who looked like a scholar come out of the crowd. He walked up to the military master and reported his name, and after leaving his name, he, who was supposed to stand by the yamen, did not go directly to that side, but looked back at a woman standing in the front row, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Mother, my son is going to be a soldier, I can't do my filial piety in front of your knees in the future, you take care of your body......"

After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the others.

"Fellow villagers, today we will join the army, and in the future, this family will ask the neighbors to take care of ......"
