Lin Xiaohuan distributed the remaining 23 catties of wine, the old army commander, the company and Aunt Liu each had 5 catties, his own family and Lin Yu had 2 catties each, Lin Shan left 3 catties, and the remaining 1 catty was given to Xiaoyan's family.

Zhao Yue'e has no objection to her arrangement.

However, Lin Xiu was careful and thoughtful, "Xiao Huan, it is enough for our family to keep 1 catty, and give your uncle 4 catties, he usually drinks by himself, and your aunt's mother's house will come for the New Year." ”

When Lin Xiaohuan heard this, she remembered that she didn't have any relatives.

The grandfather of the Lin family is not from Anxian County, he migrated over during the war, and when he came to Anxian County, he was the only one left in the family, and finally settled in Lin Dazhuang with other people with the same surname, Zhao Yue'e was in the same situation as him.

Therefore, every year during the Chinese New Year, Lin Yupo's family comes, and Wang Hua's mother's family is their own hospitality.

"Okay, listen to Mom." Lin Xiaohuan was reminded, so she followed her wishes.

The next day, she sent the wine out one by one, and Lin Yu asked Lin Dazhu, who went to the town to buy New Year's goods, to bring it over.

When Lin Xiaohuan came down from the mountain, his mood was a little complicated.

She asked Aunt Liu about the house, even if she did it herself, the cost of three rooms would be close to 400 yuan.

This is actually nothing, the lack of money is within her expectations, so she also told Aunt Liu that if the family asks, she will say about two hundred yuan, and she will find a way after the year.

What she was entangled with was the news she had just heard in the company: Tomorrow, the troops will come to Anxian County to recruit soldiers.

As soon as she got home, Lin Lili, who was at the door, pulled her and whispered: "Xiao Huan, my eldest brother has come back from the town, saying that he wants to be a soldier, and he is telling my parents in the house, and my grandmother and sister-in-law are also at my house." ”

Lin Xiaohuan was helpless, he really wanted to come to something.

As soon as she entered, she felt the atmosphere in the room stiffen.

Wang Hua sat on a small stool by the door, her eyes were stained with mist, and Lin Xiu squatted beside her and whispered comfort; Lin Dazhu stood in the middle of the hall with his head down, unable to see his emotions clearly; Lin Shan sat at the table, his brows furrowed tightly, his face serious and deep; He sat opposite Zhao Yue, looking a little worried.

"Grandma, I sent the company and Aunt Liu's wine over." Lin Xiaohuan looked at Zhao Yue'e and whispered.

Zhao Yue'e raised her eyes to look at her, the corners of her mouth barely curved, "Okay, just send it over." After saying that, he didn't squeak anymore and looked away.

Lin Xiaohuan slowly approached Lin Dazhu and found that his hands were clenched into fists, although he lowered his head, he could still see his eyes slightly red and stubborn from the side.

Such a Lin Dazhu made her feel distressed.

"I just heard in the company that our county is going to be conscripted." Lin Xiaohuan gritted his teeth, and took the initiative to mention the matter of conscription.

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes looked at her.

Lin Xiaohuan endured everyone's gaze, looked at Lin Dazhu and said with a smile: "Brother, haven't you always wanted to be a soldier, now that the opportunity is in front of you, you can try it?" ”

She said this with a sense of temptation, as she did not know what was going on.

Lin Dazhu looked at her sideways in surprise, and when he met her eyes, he understood her intentions, and his heart became more determined.

As her words fell, Lin Shan also raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were serious, "Xiao Huan, don't agitate Dazhu, he wants to go, your aunt and I don't agree, and the family can't leave him." ”

"It's you who don't agree, don't take me, you can't leave, what's inseparable? How old is Dazhu, he hasn't talked about his relatives yet, we are all sorry for him as parents, this kid wants to be a soldier now, and you still don't agree......" Wang Hua was a little excited, and when he said the back, tears fell straight down.

The opinions of the husband and wife are clearly not in agreement.

In Lin Shan's cognition, many of them are poor at home, so they let their children join the army as soldiers and subsidize their families, but the children suffer in the army, although his family is not rich, but he can still live, so he can't bear to let his children join the army.

Wang Hua's thoughts are different, people of the same age as Dazhu in the village are married, but he doesn't, not because of the poor conditions at home. She had heard others say before that the salary of being a soldier was good, so now many girls want to find a soldier to marry, maybe he will go to the army, and this life event will be solved.

Lin Xiaohuan thought for a while, looked at Lin Shan and said softly: "Uncle, I know that my sister and I are both studying now, if my brother also leaves, the family will be busy for a while, but he will have to leave sooner or later, unless you want him to stay in the village for the rest of his life."

"I remember that you and your aunt used to joke, saying that although my brother is honest but smart, our Lin family will rely on him in the future, do you really want him to be in the village for the rest of your life?

"I won't talk about it if I don't have a chance, now I have the opportunity to enter the army to experience and experience, not to mention that it is possible to stay in the army for development, that is, he will really retire from the army in the future, he has met a lot of comrades-in-arms, saved some money, and enriched his life experience, maybe there will be new opportunities.

"Uncle, why don't you agree?"

"Yes, Dad, you can agree with the eldest brother to sign up, I don't know if it's okay." Lin Lili also hurriedly interjected.

Wang Hua's tears fell even more, and Lin Xiu could only comfort her.

Lin Shan was unmoved.

He looked at Lin Xiaohuan and said solemnly: "I don't have to keep Dazhu in the village, if he wants to go out and do something else, I will definitely support it, but why do you have to enter the army, how hard it is to be a soldier." ”

"Hey......" Zhao Yue, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

Lin Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the weight of her words at home was very good, so she immediately changed her direction, "Grandma, do you think it's good for my brother to be a soldier?" ”

Zhao Yue'e looked up at her, her eyes were a little trance-like, as if she was recalling something, and she was silent for a while before muttering: "When a soldier has to bleed, those are real guns, aircraft cannons, a bomb came down, blood flowed all over the ground, and corpses were everywhere......"

Lin Xiaohuan's body shook and was stunned.

Lin Xiu didn't know when she walked to Zhao Yue'e's side, and whispered comfortingly: "Mom, those are all in the past, and now they won't." ”

Lin Xiaohuan came back to her senses, and then realized that her grandmother had thought of the previous war period, and on the way to migrate, she and her grandfather had witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war, and the shadow in her heart was indelible for a long time.

When Zhao Yue'e came to her senses, she walked over, held her hand, and comforted her softly: "Grandma, those are all in the past, and our country is now in a period of peace." ”

"Yes, peace is stable, and life is better......" Zhao Yue'e stretched out her other hand and touched her head, responding lovingly.

Lin Xiaohuan smiled, and then looked at Lin Shan again, "Uncle, although the training in the army is hard, but the life is actually good, much better than our family, besides, my brother is also working hard at home, and the sun is swarthy." ”

Lin Shan was blocked and couldn't speak for a while, but he still kept a straight face and didn't let go.

But Wang Hua made up his mind, "Dazhu, don't worry about your father, I'll accompany you to the town tomorrow to sign up, but if he doesn't agree, our mother and mother won't come back." ”

"Wang Hua! You! Lin Shan was shocked and annoyed when he heard that she actually threatened him.

Wang Hua was not to be outdone, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"You, what are you talking about, talking nonsense in front of the children...... "Lin Shan is not an arrogant husband after all, and Wang Hua has been in harmony with his wife for so many years.

When Lin Xiaohuan saw him retreating, he couldn't help but purse his lips and snicker.

At this moment, Lin Dazhu, who had been silent, suddenly knelt down, "Dad, Lili and Xiaomei are going to college, and they will be assigned jobs in the future to get ahead, and I, as an elder brother, can't embarrass them and the Lin family."

"Moreover, I really want to be a soldier, especially after meeting Brother Su, he is only two years older than me, but in front of him I am like a child, he is much more mature than me, I really want to enter the army to exercise, Dad, you agree with me."

Lin Shan looked at his son who was choked in front of him, his heart was very blocked, and his eyes were astringent.

This child has been letting his two sisters suffer from everything since he was a child, and this is the first time he begged him for himself.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, got up and helped his son with red eyes, "I'll accompany you to sign up tomorrow." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard his words, and Lin Dazhu cried even more excitedly.

The smile on Lin Xiaohuan's face only lasted for a few seconds before fading, she was now starting to worry about herself, it was so difficult for her eldest brother to become a soldier as a boy, how could she say that she wanted to take the military medical university?
