That night, when Liu Dayou returned home, his father and mother had already cooked and waited for Liu Dayou to come back and eat together.

Seeing Liu Dayou come back with nothing in his hand, the old lady comforted and said: "If you don't catch the prey, forget it, our family's food can still be eaten for a few days, and I will go to the county seat tomorrow to see if there is any work, and I will work for some food!" ”

Liu Dayou didn't speak, just ate silently, a very simple meal, a few nests, a plate of pickles, and a little wild vegetable soup left at noon.

It's very simple, but Liu Dayou is very satisfied, and he has been eating this kind of meal for more than 20 years!

When the meal was over, when the old lady was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Dayou suddenly took out twenty silver dollars from his pocket and put them on the table.

Seeing this silver dollar, the old lady was frightened all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Dayou, where did you get so much money?!" ”

As he spoke, he looked around, closed the door, and said in a deep voice: "Dayou, we are poor, but you can't go crooked!" If I get caught, how will you call me and your father to live! ”

"Listen to me, return the money where it came from, tell them well, and let them not report to the official!"

The old lady seemed very panicked, she had never seen so much money in her life, and suddenly saw the twenty yuan of the ocean, which almost scared her half to death!

Dad didn't speak, just looked at Liu Dayou with a pair of sharp eyes, with a sense of reproach in his eyes.

Daddy Liu is honest by nature and can't speak, but he is down-to-earth, and what he hates the most is to do evil things.

If he hadn't thought about listening to Liu Dayou's explanation, Daddy Liu would have smoked it with a strip a bar!

"Daddy, mother, listen to me, I didn't steal it, and I didn't steal it! I have earned it above board! Liu Dayou hurriedly explained.

"Say! What's going on? Daddy Liu said in a deep voice.

"In the afternoon, I didn't go hunting, but went to the county seat, and I signed up for the army! The commander of the army said that as long as he joined the army, he would have a settling-in allowance of 20 oceans, and a military salary of 5 oceans every month! Liu Dayou pointed to the money on the table and said, "This is the settling-in fee for me to join the army!" ”

"What!" Hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and stood there a little at a loss.

Liu Dayou's words, listening to the ears of the second elder, were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the two of them were calmed down at once.

None of them thought that Liu Dayou actually wanted to join the army!

Joining the army is a terrible job! If one is not careful, he may die on the battlefield, and when the time comes, he will be reduced to a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, how can they not be moved.

Thinking of this, Liu Dayou's wife suddenly panicked: "Dayou, how can you think of becoming a soldier?" Being a soldier is a death! Son, listen to me, let's return the money and tell the boss that this soldier is not in his place! ”

"Dayes, if you become a soldier, you will eat a severed head! In case there are three long and two short, you let me live with your father! ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu even cried, and she was very excited.

At this time, Mrs. Liu's face was full of panic, and she no longer had the sassy momentum in the daytime.

Any mother, no matter how strong she usually is, will become very soft when it comes to her children, this is the mother!

"Okay, you woman cries all day long, you know what!" Hearing the old lady's cry, Daddy Liu smoked a dry cigarette, his eyebrows furrowed, and said impatiently: "This money is said to be refunded?" Since you took it, it's not so easy to pay it back! ”

"Besides, since you have promised others, you can't be untrustworthy!" Daddy Liu took a puff of dry tobacco and said in a deep voice: "Dayes, since you choose to be a soldier, being a father can't stop you, and he can't stop you!" I know that you are not willing to be ordinary, unwilling to be a farmer all your life, unwilling to be mediocre all your life, although you don't say this, but knowing the son is more than the father, I understand your thoughts! ”

Daddy Liu sighed and said: "I only hate myself for having no interest and not being able to give you a good life, I am a mediocre person, I have no big ideals, and I have been a farmer all my life!" But you are different, since you have ideals and are willing to fight for your ideals, I will not stop you! ”

"Just remember! No matter what time it is, the people of our old Liu family must be upright, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and don't take crooked ways! ”

Hearing Daddy Liu's words, Liu Dayou's eyes suddenly darkened, two lines of tears welled up, he knelt down with a puff, choked up and said, "Dad......"

"Get up! Stand up! Liu Dayou originally wanted to say that his son was not filial, but who would have thought that as soon as he knelt down, Father Liu's face changed, and he said in a stern tone: "The man has gold under his knees, as a member of the old Liu family, even if he dies, he will never kneel easily!" ”

"Yes! The child knows! Liu Dayou nodded solemnly, wiped away his tears and stood up.

At this time, I heard Daddy Liu say: "I also heard that this unit is working in the county today, it is a devil-fighting unit, it's good to fight devils!" Fighting devils is a matter of protecting the family and defending the country! This is a glorious thing! Even if you die in battle, it will be glorious even if you die, and our old Li family has a light on their faces! ”

"Dayou, you remember, after you arrive in the army, you must listen to the words of the commander, beat the devil fiercely, play the prestige, and beat the backbone of our old Liu family! Don't lose the face of our old Liu family! Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Got it! Liu Dayou lowered his head and said seriously.

"Okay, I won't say much, and I'm nagging you at the end, our old Liu family must be upright and down-to-earth in everything we do! The line is sitting upright, no matter when, you can't live up to the ancestors of our old Liu family! ”

"This is the family motto of our old Liu family, which was originally passed on to you when you got married, but since you have made up your mind to join the army, I hope you can remember this sentence for a lifetime, even if it is death, don't forget it! Because this is the backbone of our old Liu family that has been passed down from generation to generation! ”

Although Daddy Liu has never read a book and doesn't understand any big truths, he understands the truth of being a man!

The ancestors of the old Liu family are also cultivators and heirlooms, and the ancestors have also been officials, although they have declined, but this training has been passed down!

Hearing Daddy Liu's words, Liu Dayou suddenly knelt down, knocked his head three times to Daddy and Niang, and said solemnly: "Dad, Mother, don't worry!" ”

"I must abide by the family motto, be an upright person, and do things in a down-to-earth manner! Fight devils hard and be an upright person! Never disgrace my old Liu family! ”

"You second elder rest assured, if I, Liu Dayou, don't mix up my personal appearance in this life, I am not worthy of being a descendant of the old Liu family!"

When he said this, Liu Dayou's face was full of firmness, his tone was solemn, and he was loud!

This time when he knelt down, Daddy Liu didn't stop him, he just nodded, with a hint of relief on his face and a hint of reluctance.
