The old man said impassionedly, but the middle-aged woman was disdainful, glanced at the old man, pulled the young man away, and muttered in a low voice: "Is this old man mentally problematic!" ”

"Now in this year, Qiu Ba still has good people? What a joke! He just wants to coax my son to join the army, so I won't be fooled! ”

Although the middle-aged woman's muttering was small, it still made the old man hear it clearly.

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then reacted, and then he knocked the ground with a cane in pain: "The world is going down, and people's hearts are not ancient!" ”

"The country is in trouble, but the people don't want to serve the country, it's really sad for the country!"

The old man sighed, and then his body left with a cane, but when he left, looking at his back, it looked so gloomy.

The young man couldn't help but glance back at the old man, but there was a strange color in his eyes: "Could it be ...... Is this really a good troop? ”

Thinking so, the young man glanced at the old lady beside him again, and a trace of struggle flashed on his face, but in the end, he showed a determined look on his face, as if he had secretly made up his mind!

After sending his wife to his home, he found that his father had not come back from building a house for others, and the young man said to his mother that he was going out to hunt, so he went out with a hard bow hanging on the wall!

When I walked out of the house, I couldn't help but look back at the house I lived in, the mud house, and the outside was a simple yard surrounded by a wooden fence, and the family was destitute.

The young man just couldn't help but sigh!

At the same time, I am more determined in my heart to make the decision in my heart!

Gathered his mind for a while, walked outside, the surrounding neighbors, several big girls and little daughters-in-law saw him carrying a bow, and they all smiled and said: "Liu Jiaerlang, go out hunting again!" ”

"Well, go out and run some errands!" The young man's face turned red, he responded vaguely, and hurriedly left!

He is most afraid of talking to the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, and his face is red when he speaks, and he is more shy than a female baby!

Looking at the back of Liu Jiaerlang walking away quickly, several little daughters-in-law couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile: "This Liu Jiaerlang is really shy!" ”

It wasn't until he walked out of the small village that the young man breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his mood, and then walked straight towards the county seat!

The young man's name is Liu Dayou, because he is the second oldest in the family and has a good appearance, so the neighbors like to call him Liu Jiaerlang.

As for his brother, he died when he was a few years old, so although he is the second in line, he is an only son!

After Liu Dayou got out of the village, he walked quickly in the direction of the county seat, he wanted to go to the county seat to see the recruitment situation, if it was really the same as what the old man said, then Liu Dayou decided to join the army!

Yes, Liu Dayou has made up his mind to join the army!

Although Liu Dayou is a farmer, he has always had a wish, or ambition, in his heart.

He wants to get out!

He doesn't stay in the village like this obscurity!

Liu Dayou's father is a mason, and he is a hunter, although he has a craft, but in the current environment, the family is still poor, every day in order to eat a full stomach and constantly run, every day to dig in the yellow earth to eat......

Liu Dayou is tired of this kind of life!

He didn't want to live like this!

He doesn't want to just run around every day for a living, he doesn't want to live on the yellow earth day after day, year after year!

He wants to get out!

He wants to leave a little trace of himself in this world, a little trace of what he has been here!

Instead of staying in the village for the rest of your life without enough food and clothing, it is better to go out and fight hard, and maybe you can fight for a future!

For this ambition in his heart, even if it is death, he is willing!

Thinking of this, Liu Dayou secretly clenched his fists and walked towards the county seat faster.

Qingyuan County is not big, but there are many people.

What's more, because the army in Xuzhou gathered during this time, it was obvious that there was going to be a big war, so many people had already moved from the countryside to the county seat.

After all, it is too dangerous in the countryside, and moving to the county town is protected by the police station and the security corps, which can at least give the people some sense of security.

As soon as Liu Dayou entered the county seat, he saw that the streets were dusty, full of people, and they were all converging in one place, which made Li Youcai very curious.

You must know that although there are a lot of people in Qingyuan County, it is winter after all, and no one wants to come out to suffer from the cold, but now that there are so many people coming out, it is obvious that there are some abnormalities.

Liu Dayou curiously asked the old man who was basking in the sun next to him, what was going on.

When the old man heard this, he took a puff of the dry cigarette in his hand, and then said in a leisurely manner: "This is not the propaganda in the county town before, saying that a unit has come to us and wants to recruit soldiers!" ”

"What a big deal this troop is! In order to recruit soldiers, he even shouted that as long as he joined the army, he would have a settling-in allowance of 20 yuan, and there would be four oceans of military salary every month in the future! ”

When he said this, the old man sighed twice, and a look of envy appeared on his face: "This condition, if it weren't for the old man, I would have wanted to join the army!" ”

Did the old man hear Liu Da's emotion, he only heard the twenty yuan of the current ocean of settling-in allowance, and the military salary of five yuan of the current ocean every month!

"Good boy! Twenty pieces of the ocean! ”

Liu Dayou was shocked and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Four dollars a month is enough for their family's monthly expenses!

You must know that a year alone adds up to forty-eight yuan of the current ocean, plus twenty yuan of the current ocean's settlement fee, this is sixty-eight yuan!

Sixty-eight bucks!

Liu Dayou swears that the money he has seen in his life does not add up to that much!

With this money, he can renovate his family's house, and in two years, he can build a brick house!

Liu Dayou thought with a wistful face!

Seeing Liu Dayou's expression, the old man knocked the cigarette gun to the ground, knocking out the cigarette ash inside, and said at the same time: "Housheng, it's not me who strikes you, being a soldier is a job of pinning your head to the belt of your trousers, maybe your head will move at some point, and you won't earn any money at that time, and you will lose your life, you have to think about it carefully!" ”

The old man began to nag, but Liu Dayou had already made up his mind, he didn't listen to these words at all, but when he knew that there was twenty yuan for settling-in, he strengthened his determination to become a soldier!

simply took advantage of the old man's inattention, and slipped into the crowd with a snort.

The old man saw that he didn't listen to persuasion, so he had to shake his head and sigh.
