"Why not, you're eighteen years old this year, just sign up for the army." Hao Changsuo said easily and simply, as if he had the final say in this matter, a matter of words.

"Brother coaxed me again." Hao Yinsuo scratched his head and said with a smile, "Where is the quota for being a soldier, where is it so easy to get, I think our county only got a few back then, and Xinghuapo is only one of you." ”

"What if brother has a way?" Hao Changsuo looked at the second brother with a smile in his eyes.

"Really? Long lock, you have a way to get your brother to the troops. Hao's mother happily grabbed Hao Changsuo's hand and said excitedly, "Now we can raise our eyebrows in the village." We have two sons who are soldiers. Haha......" grinned and laughed.

"Hmmm! I have a way. Hao Changsuo nodded heavily, and when he became the commander's son-in-law, a recruitment indicator, it was very simple!

He dreamed of jumping out of the farm gate since he was a child, becoming a city person, and living a good life, once he thought that studying could change his fate, but his family was poor and couldn't afford to pay the tuition. Later, he had to be cheeky and go to the captain's house to read and write, but how could it be as easy as he thought to enter the city with mud legs, and later the army came to recruit and let him see hope. After all kinds of experiences, he finally put on the military uniform, and he was grateful to Haixing in his heart.

He once thought that he liked Haixing, but it wasn't until he met her in the army that he knew that he only had gratitude to Haixing, what was the love between men and women, what was the mountain alliance and sea oath, and only then did he realize the kind of unswerving love described in the book.

Thinking of Ding Haixing, who is now like a rural woman, don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Daddy, do you hear me? My son is really capable. Hao Mu said with a smile on her face.

Hao Yinsuo scratched his ears and looked at him and said, "Big brother, don't bother, I don't want to be a soldier." ”

"You're stupid! Do you know how difficult it is to get a place to be a soldier, and you don't want it. Hao Changsuo looked at him angrily, reached out to unbuckle the wind and discipline, and pulled the collar.

Hao's mother slapped Hao Yinsuo on the back, and said, "You can't get on the table, your brother doesn't know how many favors he got for you, you don't want it, it's so easy!" ”

Hao Yinsuo twisted his body and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to go, what should I do if I leave home?" What should Sister Xing do? Sister Xing is working too hard. ”

"What does this have to do with sea apricots?" Hao Changsuo stared at them with wide eyes and said with a puzzled face.

"Silver lock, it's cold this day, go get an oil-paper umbrella and get me some hot water." Father Hao, who had been silent, suddenly commanded.

"Dad, there's water in that thermos." Hao Yinsuo got up and picked up the thermos and said, "I made a new shot yesterday, it was hot, and I haven't finished drinking it yet?" ”

"The water overnight, it's not hot, let you fight, just go and fight, where is so much nonsense." Father Hao reprimanded directly with a straight face.

"You old man, when you were at home, you scooped the well water in the tank with a scoop, not to drink it, to drink it, but to be poor and particular about it in the city." Hao's mother looked at him and said funny, in the end, her own man, looked at Hao Yinsuo and urged, "Okay, your father asked, make a new pot of hot water." ”

"Oh!" Hao Yinsuo obediently poured the remaining hot water from the rattan shell thermos into the army-green basin on the basin stand, took the umbrella placed at the door of the room, and opened the door with the thermos bottle, "Oh! The rain stopped. So he hung his umbrella on the door and strode towards the hot water room.

&*&

As soon as Hao Yinsuo left, Hao's father looked at Hao Changsuo and suddenly asked, "Changsuo, if you haven't been home for a few years, what do you think of me and your mother looking?" ”

"Uh......" Hao Changsuo was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Dad meant by this? Now looking at the parents in front of him, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes! Mom, you were still bedridden when I left? What's going on now? A look of surprise, "Dad, your health is also very good, by the way, how did you survive this famine, our Xinghuapo land is not fertile, mainly because there is no water to water the ground." "He receives more than half of the allowance from his family every month, but he doesn't care about food, and he can't care about his mother's medical treatment and medicine.

"The silver, and the brass, and the iron locks, are tall, and they are grown. And your sister Suo'er is also beautiful and beautiful. Hao's father briefly talked about the situation at home.

"Your dad is right, since I learned that you became an officer, the threshold of our family is about to be broken by the people who say goodbye. It's all stained with your light. Hao Mule's eyes narrowed into slits, "It's all for Yinsuo, and there are sixteen-year-old Suo'er who are also in love." It seems that I didn't agree to be right, if the silver lock can be a soldier and leave, and then do it like you, where will the wild girl in the countryside be worthy! We'll have to keep our eyes open and pick well. ”

Hao Changsuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the sunlight breaking through the clouds outside the window was refracted in the deep eyes, bright as stars, brilliant and dazzling. The joy in my heart was overflowing, and a smile crept up my face.

Hao's father took in his son's words and deeds, but his heart sank, and he looked at the child's mother who said with flying eyebrows, and said in an unkind tone, "Did you say it, or did I say it?" ”

"You say, you say." Hao Mu hurriedly said, moved her buttocks on the bed, and said with a smile, "You are the head of the family, you say." ”

Father Hao's eyes looked at him for a moment and said, "Don't you think it's strange?" Everywhere else there are people starving, so we're all fine. ”

"yes!" Hao Changsuo nodded, his father didn't say it, and when he heard his father say this, he asked strangely, "Dad, what's going on?" Is there someone to help us, this is to meet a nobleman. ”

"You know what? This is all Xing'er, this child, without her, the grass on our grave would be tall. Father Hao said with moist eyes.

Hao Changsuo looked at him in shock and said, "Dad, what did you say?" Why can't I understand? ”

"Okay, I don't understand, do you? I'll give you a rip-off. Hao's father raised his sleeves and pressed the corners of his eyes and said, "The fertility of the land in our Xinghuapo is very clear to you, only one or two hundred catties of wheat are harvested per mu of land in a good year, and after paying the public grain, even food and clothing can not be mixed, and almost half a year is a substitute for melons and vegetables." Not to mention the year of the catastrophe, it was Xing'er, the child, who went to the sea again and again to catch fish and sell them to the aquatic product purchasing station, in exchange for a little meager money, to buy the country's resale grain. In the spring, when the green and yellow were not harvested, the cool sea water, and the child Xing'er went to the sea again and again to catch fish, so that our family had to go through the difficult years. ”

"What?" Hao Changsuo looked at them in shock, took two steps back, and said in disbelief.

Hao's father then said, "After you left, Xing'er came to our house and carried the burden of this family on your behalf. You can't be a bad conscience. ”
