Chapter 669: Recruitment (Medium)

When it was still dark outside the window, Liu Qun had gotten up early, only to see him come to the yard and stretch a long lazy waist, and then pick up the stone lock next to him and practice a few times, they Cangxian is north of the Liao country, those Liao soldiers will go south from time to time to fight the grass valley, the Hebei army stationed in the past is not at all, and they will run when they see the Liao soldiers, so Liu Qun and these people can only find ways to protect themselves, which also makes almost everyone here practice martial arts, and now the Hebei army is rebuilt, and the Liao army does not dare to go south easily, but Liu Qun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. So it's a habit to practice strength every day.

However, Liu Qun only threw the stone lock ten times and felt sweaty all over his body, and his hands and feet could no longer use his strength, which made him only pant and put down the stone lock, and then patted his thin shoulder with some annoyance, since the drought last year, he has not eaten a full meal, and the whole person is even thinner, if it weren't for his good foundation, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to shake off five stone locks.

"What practice is there if you can't eat enough, now the Liao army doesn't dare to go south, it's useless to practice, the rabbit cub should save some effort and catch more fish for a while!" At this moment, Liu Qun's father, Liu Laosan, came out of the hall and couldn't help but reprimand loudly when he saw his son panting and standing in the yard.

"Dad, you used to force us to practice, but now I want to practice and you scold me." Liu Qun was a little aggrieved at this time, he was lazy when he was a child and didn't want to practice martial arts, so he was beaten a lot.

"It used to be before, but now that the bastards of the Hebei Army have been rebuilt, the Liao Army doesn't dare to go south, why are you still practicing these?" Liu Laosan glared at him and said again, in the past, the Hebei Army was powerful in the local area, and Liu Laosan was also bullied a lot, which made him hate the Hebei Army very much, even if the Hebei Army is rebuilt now, the officers and non-commissioned officers who bullied him before have also been cleared out of the army, but every time the Hebei Army is mentioned. He still scolds.

"Hehe, I heard that the Hebei Army is recruiting people again, and the second brother Zhang from the East Village went, and I heard that I can get a lot of copper coins in January, and I can build a big brick house in a few years, Dad." Why don't I go too? Liu Qun suddenly smiled in front of his father and said, he is just eighteen years old this year, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and there is no one in the village within a radius of dozens of miles who is his opponent, so if he wants to join the army, there must be many people vying for it.

"No! The Hebei Army's gang of kings and calves don't have a good thing, have you forgotten how your father's leg is lame? As soon as Liu Laosan heard that his son was going to join the army, he immediately glared at him again and reprimanded. At the same time, he took a few steps forward, his left leg was obviously a little inconvenient, and his leg was crippled by the other party because he accidentally startled a horse at the head of the Hebei army.

"That head has been punished, I heard that he was sent to overseas mining, don't think about coming back for the rest of your life, your old anger should come out." Liu Qun didn't dare to contradict his father, so he could only mumble quietly. He saw his father's leg broken with his own eyes, and since then he has been practicing martial arts desperately. I hoped that one day I could take revenge, but I didn't expect that the head of the capital would be punished by the court and sent overseas, I heard that this kind of punishment was worse than death, so his anger had disappeared, but he didn't expect his father to be extremely stubborn. Even with the Hebei army, he hated it, let alone let him join the army.

"What did you say?" Liu Laosan's ears were very sharp, and when he heard his son's grunting, he immediately glared again.

"Oh, what are you two arguing about in the morning, the two boys were all woken up by you. The rice is already hot, hurry up and go fishing after eating, today the rice and noodles at home are gone, and I sold all the fish and bought rice and noodles back. At this moment, Liu Qun's old lady came out of the grass shed next to her with a rolling pin and shouted with a straight face.

Now Liu Qun and the two of them were immediately honest, without saying a word into the grass shed, this is their kitchen, Liu Qun's wife got up earlier, has already heated the meal, but because the food is not enough to eat, so there is only wild vegetable porridge and wild vegetable bun, put a little flour in it, otherwise just eat wild vegetables can not stand it at all, and there are a few salted fish to cook, for people by the sea, salted fish is not as delicious as pickles.

Liu Qun is the most edible time, but the food at home is limited, even if it is wild vegetable porridge, he does not dare to eat more, so he drank two bowls of porridge and ate a wild vegetable bun with salted fish, and then carried two wild vegetable buns in his arms, this is today's noon lunch, at this time Liu Laosan also finished eating, when the father and son went out of the yard to the beach, in fact, their village is on the seaside, out of the yard is the beach, and there is a dilapidated boat on the beach, which is their small fishing boat.

At that moment, the father and son worked together to turn over the boat, and then pushed it into the sea and got on the boat, at this time the other people in the village also came to the beach to prepare to go out to sea to fish, and saw the father and son of the Liu family also greeted each other, their Zhuangzi is named Liu Zhuang, and the people in the Zhuangzi are the same ancestor, so the relationship between each other is not bad.

Liu Qun's fishing boat is small and broken, it is said that this boat is still handed down from his grandfather's hands, I don't know how many times it has been repaired, the wood on the boat is about to be replaced, and it will not leak from time to time, and it must not go to sea when the wind and waves are strong, otherwise a wave may break up the boat, but even so, Liu Qun's father and son still take it to sea, because although the boat is broken, their family's food and clothing are all pointing to this boat, although the family has a few acres of thin fields, but the land by the sea has always been barren, After paying taxes, there is nothing left of the grain produced each year.

Because the boat is too broken, the Liu family father and son dare not go to sea too far, so as not to encounter strong winds and waves to damage the boat, so they can only fish in the offshore waters, but although there are many fish in the sea, but after so many years of fishing, it is difficult to catch any big fish in the offshore sea, so they are busy all morning and only catch a few nets of small fish, which cannot be sold at any price.

"Dad, let's row a little more out into the open sea, otherwise we won't be able to catch any fish today." Liu Qun said to his father at this time.

Liu Laosan hesitated for a while when he heard his son's words, thinking that there was no rice and noodles at home, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, and then rowed the boat to the open sea for a while, and then began to fish in the nets.

Liu Qun and his son pushed a few buckets of fresh fish in a car to the fish market in the county, where there are many fishmongers to collect fish, and there used to be some guys from restaurants to collect fish, but since last year's drought, many restaurants have closed, so now only fishmongers are left, these fishmongers belong to the fish dealers, they work together to lower the price, so that the sea fish can not be sold at all, but the fishermen do not sell it, because there is still a family of people waiting to eat.

Liu Qun's father and son's several large buckets of fresh fish were sold for less than 50 yuan in the end, which can be said to be pitiful, but for the Liu family father and son, it was already the most earning day in this month, and the least day was even only a few yuan, so their father and son were also very happy, took the money to the grain store, bought a small half bag of the cheapest wheat, and prepared to take it home and grind it into flour by themselves.

"Dad, there's a snack over there, let's buy a few pieces for my little sister to take back, right?" When passing by a dim sum stall, Liu Qun suddenly opened his mouth and proposed, when he bought wheat just now, he deliberately left a few pennies, in order to buy dim sum for his younger brothers and sisters in the family, he is the eldest in the family, and there are two younger brothers and two sisters below, and every time he comes to the county seat, he will bring some delicious food to his younger brothers and sisters.

Liu Laosan knew that his son had left a few copper coins just now, and now he hesitated when he heard his son's words, and finally nodded, so Liu Qun immediately ran over happily, bought a few cheapest sugar cakes, and then carefully wrapped them in yellow paper and put them in his arms, and then pushed the car with his father and prepared to go home.

"Bell bell bell ~" With a burst of gongs to open the way, I saw several officials coming from the street, shouting loudly while beating the gong, "Recruit soldiers!" Recruitment! All young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four can sign up, and once selected, they will be given 20 yuan of settling-in money, and there will be a generous monthly military salary to be obtained, so the opportunity should not be missed......"

Liu Qun thought at first that it was the Hebei Army recruiting, but when he heard that it was the sailor who was recruiting, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurried a few steps to catch up with the officer and asked loudly: "Brother Officer, can anyone sign up for this recruitment, can you eat enough when you enter the army?" ”

"Haha, if the little brother wants to sign up, just sign up at the Yamen, as long as he enters the army, he will not only be able to eat well, but also have a generous military salary, which is much better than our brother!" Hearing Liu Qun's words, one of the older officials replied loudly.

Hearing the words of this old servant, Liu Qun's eyes immediately lit up, he has been successful in martial arts, and has always wanted to do something, joining the army is one of the good choices, just because his father has not agreed with him to go to the Hebei Army, so he has delayed it, and now I hear that this time it is the recruitment of the water division, and there are twenty yuan of money for the family alone, which is not a small amount, enough for the family to buy a few acres of good land.

Thinking of this, Liu Qun immediately ran back to discuss with his father Liu Laosan, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Laosan glared at him again after hearing it: "What kind of soldier, haven't you heard that a good man is not a soldier, there is no good thing to be a soldier, you just stay at home and fish honestly, and when you save some money in the future, you will marry your daughter-in-law, don't keep thinking about those useless things!" ”

Liu Qun didn't expect his father to still disagree, which made his face fall suddenly, and he lowered his head and didn't say anything, but there was a little unwilling look in his eyes. (To be continued......)
