Money is definitely the biggest dilemma facing the Huang family.

Huang Shang and Huang Ling are still in school, and the family relies on Huang's mother to work to make a living.

I can't even eat enough every day, and I have to rely on Huang Shang to go out hunting occasionally to get through the autumn and yellow days, where is there any money left.

Although Huang Shang was admitted to Phoenix University in advance, the optical tuition fee costs 1,000 yuan of general coins every year, and Huang Mu only costs 10 yuan of general purpose coins a month.

The family did not eat or drink, and had to save for nearly ten years to pay for one year's tuition.

Huang Ling was just twelve years old, and the matchmaker Chen came to propose marriage, which was equivalent to selling Huang Ling, how could Huang Shang allow such a selfish thing to happen?

Huang Shang said with a smile: "Mom, I know that you have great powers and can help me make up for my tuition, but I really don't want to go to Phoenix University." ”

"Do you know how many people sharpen their heads every year and want to get into the University of Phoenix?

Now that you finally have such an opportunity, you dare to tell me that you don't want to go, do you want to anger me? ”

Huang Mu said angrily.

Huang Shang kept a smile on his face and said, "Mom, I know that entering Phoenix University is equivalent to one step to the sky, but we have to start from reality, right?"

Yes, you found a mother-in-law for my little sister, and you can help me make up for this year's tuition, but what about next year and the year after?

Not to mention that after graduating from college, you have to spend a lot of money to find a job.

How many little sisters do I have to marry? ”

"Shut up!

Let's get together this year's tuition, and we'll talk about next year. ”

Huang's mother reprimanded, she was very unhappy when she mentioned Huang Ling's marriage, even if there was a little other way, she would never be willing to take this road.

"Mom, I actually have other ideas." Huang Shang cautiously mentioned.

Huang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Huang Shang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Huang's mother and said, "Mom, look, Phoenix City has started recruiting again."

You know, getting into the Phoenix Army is no less difficult than getting into the University of Phoenix.

As long as I can enter the Phoenix Army, not only will my family have one less mouth to eat, but I will also receive a stipend of two universal coins every month.

If I can make a meritorious contribution in the army in the future, then we can become permanent residents of Phoenix City, and we will no longer have to worry about food. ”

"Sting."

Huang Mu threw the recruitment advertisement on the ground with all her might, got up and shouted, "No!

Even if our family of three goes to the street to ask for food in the future, I will never allow you to become a soldier! ”

"Mom!"

Huang Shang screamed, he had never seen his mother so angry as she was now, even if he threw out the dowry just now, he had never seen his mother get angry.

"Needless to say!" Huang Mu turned around and went into the bedroom, leaving Huang Shang alone there.

"Brother." Huang Ling poked his little head out of the door and looked around, with a panicked face, thinking that he had made his mother angry.

Huang Shang walked over and reached out to rub Huang Ling's head, and said with a smile: "Hungry, right?" Is it okay for my brother to make you rabbit porridge tonight? ”

"yes, okay." The little girl immediately drooled and followed Huang Shang into the kitchen to cook.

The tertiary drinking water is paired with rice and fresh rabbit meat, and the rich aroma soon emerges.

"Brother, are you all right?" The little girl stretched out her hand and wiped her mouth and asked, and her stomach screamed even more.

"Wait. By the way, you go and tell your mother to get ready for dinner. Huang Shang said while looking at the pot.

"I'm not going."

The little girl pursed her lips and said, still angry about her mother's intention to marry herself, and then added,

"I'm afraid."

Huang Shang could only let Huang Ling look at the pot and go to ask his mother to eat, but found that the bedroom door was locked, and no one answered when he called a few times outside.

It seems that my mother is really angry.

Huang Shang sighed secretly, but he was very resolute in his heart.

Even if my mother is angry that she has to sign up for the army, this is the only way to solve the family's predicament, and it is also the best way out at the moment.

At dinner, the brothers and sisters ate together, Huang Ling ate one-third of the rabbit meat alone, but Huang Shang did not move, but left all the meat for his mother to eat.

I don't know if it's because of drinking hot porridge, Huang Shang feels warm when he sleeps at night, it's easier to fall asleep than before, and he sleeps very deeply.

He didn't know that it was a faint green glow in his lower abdomen as he fell asleep, and then disappeared after a few seconds.

Early the next morning, Huang Shang opened his eyes and saw his mother standing at the head of the bed looking at him, and was startled.

"Mom." Huang Shang got up and shouted.

"Come with me, I have something to say to you." After Huang Mu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.

Huang Shang followed his mother to the living room and found a wooden plate on the table, on which were placed something wrapped in red cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.

Heirloom?

Huang Shang couldn't think of anything valuable at home.

Huang Mu asked expressionlessly, "Do you know why I don't agree with you to be a soldier?" ”

"Because Dad?"

The only reason Huang Shang can think of is his father, and in his memory, his father is also a soldier, but he never came back when Huang Ling was born.

"Ugh."

Huang Mu suddenly sighed and said, "I know that you are a stubborn child, even if I don't agree with you, I will definitely find a way to sign up for the army."

That's right.

I don't agree that your soldier does have something to do with your dad, but it's not quite the way you think. ”

"Mom, dad was ...... back then"

About his father has always been a taboo in the Huang family, since his father left home that year, Huang's mother has never allowed Huang Shang to mention him, and Huang Ling, who has never seen his father, has always thought that his father has died a long time ago.

"Huang Shang, there are many things that are not as simple as what you hear or see.

The less you know about your dad, the better, you just need to know one thing.

Your dad is a hero! ”

Is my dad a hero?

Huang Shang always thought that his mother hated his father very much, and he never thought that her evaluation of his father would be so high.

"Not a hero as you understand it, a real hero, more respectable than anyone else."

Huang Mu repeated, reached out and picked up the red cloth wrapped in the plate, and opened it layer by layer to reveal a dagger.

It's a bit inaccurate to say it's a dagger, it's a little longer than a normal dagger, and more like a short knife.

The short knife is three fingers wide and has a pitch-black body, and it is unknown what material it is made of.

"This is what your dad left behind when he left."

Huang Mu's eyes fell on the short knife, and a rare smile appeared on her face, a happy smile, as if she saw Huang Shang's father when she saw the knife.

"He should have guessed that you would follow the path he had taken, and said that one day if you choose to be a soldier, let me give it to you."

This was left to me by my dad?

Huang Shang was suddenly a little excited, and all the memories of his father poured out.

The black knife is not as cold as an ordinary blade, and there is a hint of warmth in the hand.
