Chapter 62: Farewell to Home
Zhou Liangfeng listened to his mother and sister-in-law's explanation over there, but Han Zheng next to him came to Zhou's father alone and told the other party not to worry about Zhou Liangfeng.
Because Zhou Liangfeng is still young, he will temporarily place Zhou Liangfeng in his escort team, which can be regarded as entering the army of Han Zheng's descendants.
After Father Zhou heard this, he smiled gratefully at Han Zheng, he was a rural person, he didn't have much knowledge, and he couldn't say anything beautiful to Han Zheng, but he kept thanking Han Zheng over and over again.
Han Zheng saw the other party's somewhat wooden face and his love for his son, but he thought of his father, who was also not good at expressing his father's love with words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He has already determined to establish his ideal China, and is willing to dedicate himself to this ideal, overthrow the old decadent rule and foreign oppression, and most importantly, let the Chinese nation no longer bear the bloody pain of the Japanese invasion in later generations, but this day, my father could not see it.
I just don't know, if my parents know about it underground, will they blame themselves? And Han Zheng himself doesn't know when he will be able to complete this goal, nor does he know if he can complete this goal.
After all, Han Zheng's strength at this time is too small, and a gust of wind blowing can blow him to pieces, so his current first step is to develop his strength, and then he can do what he wants.
"Father, and Mother in Heaven should be able to protect themselves." Han Zheng looked at a white cloud floating in the sky and sighed in his heart.
At the same time, Han Zheng, who was about to travel far away, also planned to go home to have a look, put incense sticks in front of his father and mother's graves, and dig a handful of soil on the graves.
Han Zheng forcibly suppressed his thoughts, beckoned to the side, called Han Qiang to him, asked the other party to take out the silver money in his bag, counted fifteen silver dollars and handed them to Zhou's father.
Father Zhou also heard Han Zhengnian's conscription notice, so he naturally listened to the other party's explanation, so he knew that the soldier still had a settling-in fee of ten yuan.
But at this time, when he saw that Han Zheng had fifteen silver dollars in his hand, he looked at Han Zheng with some puzzlement and trepidation, and did not reach out to take it.
"Take it, this is Xiao Fengzi's settling-in fee, since he came to me, I won't treat him badly. You also take the extra money, he went with me, there is one less laborer in your family, and life is not easy, so you don't have to excuse yourself. Han Zheng said, handing over the money directly to the other party.
Father Zhou looked at the silver dollar in his eyes, thinking that this might be the child's life money, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but he only took the ten silver dollars in Han Zheng's hand, and the rest was unwilling to ask for it no matter what.
Although he is a rural person, he has never been greedy for other people's cheapness, and this is his son's life money? Therefore, he himself refused very simply.
Han Zheng knew that the other party was a poor rural person, and these five silver dollars were already a lot of money for their family, if they were to save it, it would be enough for their family of four to spend a long time, but the other party could refuse so simply.
In the end, Han Zheng couldn't, and in the case of persuasion, he had to say that in his own personal guard, the military salary was higher, and Zhou Liangfeng was young, and he was not responsible for the food, clothing and housing in the camp, and he didn't need any money in normal times, so he had to hand over the other party's military salary to Zhou's father in advance for safekeeping, which made the other party hesitate to accept it.
The other surrounding villagers saw that Han Zheng really gave Zhou's father so much money, but they were also moved, after all, there were soldiers in their families before, even if they gave a settlement fee, but it was not so high, and there was not even a settlement fee.
Therefore, the families who originally served as soldiers regretted letting their families go to the army early, how good would it be if they had survived until now? But after all, there is no regret medicine to give them.
There are even some people who have moved their minds, but how can they make a decision in a hurry? I had to think about going back and discussing it again, but luckily there was time for them to think about it.
Han Zheng didn't let Zhou Liangfeng leave with him now, let Zhou Liangfeng reunite with his parents and family at home, and when he walked here when he went back at night, he let the other party follow, and the Zhou family was grateful.
Han Zheng and his men left the village, if they continued to go south, the next village should be Han Zheng's house, but thinking that there was not much time in the afternoon, and there were still some villages that had not yet moved, so they planned to go to the rest of the villages first, and then go back to their own villages.
Han Zheng told Han Qiang, so that the other party did not have to worry, the other party could not go back to the barracks tonight, and would go back to the camp tomorrow, so Han Qiang had nothing to complain about.
Next, the group walked a few villages in the east and west directions, but the effect was not very good, and it was estimated that only about 20 people were willing to consider becoming soldiers, but they also had to consider it and make a decision tomorrow.
After walking around these villages, it was already about half past four in the afternoon, and Han Zheng returned to Hanjiazhuang with his group.
Han Qiang's family probably knew the news that Han Zheng and others had gone to the countryside, so when they saw Han Zheng and his party coming, Han Lao led the old and young masters in the village out to continue.
Han Zheng talked to Han Lao, took someone to the house to take a look, and saw that there were traces of cleaning in the house, he knew that it was estimated that Han Lao arranged for the children of the family to help him, and he was very grateful to this respectable old man.
After that, Han Zheng explained a few words to Han Qiang and told the other party not to forget to return to the camp tomorrow. After all, because he had too little time and too many things, he refused Han Lao's repeated retention, and after drinking a few sips of water with his subordinates, he left the village with these soldiers under his command, and went to the tomb of his parents at the head of the village to pay respects.
Han Zheng didn't know when he would come back after he went out this time, in fact, he also wanted to stay outside and develop, the strength of Beiyang here was too strong.
Therefore, it is estimated that Han Zheng will not be able to return here in a short time, and in front of the grave, Han Zheng told his parents the news, and then left the village and walked back.
The gates were closed at six o'clock in the evening, and although they did not have to enter the city, it was still very cold at night in winter, so they had to rush back by six o'clock as much as possible.
When recruiting troops, he had already gone to his uncle's house, and he also told his uncle and aunt that he was going to the south, and did not tell them that he was going to fight, but only said that he was arranged by the above to let him go to the south to train.
Uncle and aunt were relieved, Han Zheng also told them that after he settled down in the south, he would send someone to pick up the two of them to live with him, originally his uncle and aunt were a little reluctant to leave the house, but they couldn't bear Han Zheng's emotional offensive, so they had to agree.
In fact, Han Zheng doesn't have a very good way, sooner or later what he does will conflict with the north, his uncle and aunt are his last relatives, how can he be willing to let the other party bear unknown risks here? That's why I insisted on this arrangement.
