Chapter 52 Enlistment
Meow Meow thought he hadn't heard clearly, and repeated, "I want my eldest brother to join the army!" ”
......
Meow Meow agreed with Qi Jingchen that two days later, Miao Fu would meet him before the army set off.
Back at home, at dinner, Li Cuihua was tired and looked a little bad because she had been tossing with Wu Suying and Miao Xiancao for a short day.
After Miao Dahai heard about it, his face was not much better.
Seeing that everyone was calm, Mrs. Miao stopped for the time being.
When he was about to finish eating, Meow Meow took the lead in putting down the dishes and chopsticks and said seriously, "Dad, mother, I have something to say." ”
Li Cuihua finally smiled a little, followed the example of her daughter, and sat up straight, "Okay, what does Meow want to say?" ”
Meow Meow glanced at Miao Fu and asked, "Big brother, do you want to join the army?" ”
The chopsticks in Miao Fu's hand fell to the ground with a snap, he didn't bend down to pick them up, and looked at his father and mother with a nervous expression.
Meow Meow's little hand covered Miao Fu's big hand, which was as rough as his father's, and encouraged, "Big brother, speak from your heart, don't be afraid!" ”
Miao Fu's lips trembled a little, he tried his best to control his eyes and not look at others, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he nodded firmly under his sister's encouraging eyes.
Meow Meow nodded, and then looked at Miao Dahai and his wife, "Dad, mother, eldest brother likes to join the army, and he also wants to join the army, I hope you will succeed." ”
"Meow meow...... Miao Fu's voice trembled a little because of excitement, "You, how do you know?" ”
He never said what he thought in his heart to anyone, but he really didn't want to be trapped in this small mountain village, he wanted to make a contribution, and he wanted to glorify his ancestors.
Seeing that the third brother was so serious about studying, he also tried, but he was not the material for reading at all, but he had a lot of strength!
Now, how can his favorite sister not be excited when he knows his wish?
Meow Meow smiled proudly, raised her little face and said, "I just know!" I know everything! ”
After Li Cuihua was stunned for a short time, she was a little worried, "Joining the army, it's dangerous, right?" ”
Mrs. Miao rolled up her sleeves, wiped a handful of oil stains on the side of her mouth, pursed her lips, and gloated, "Do you think joining the army is a good family?" Don't even know how you'll die then! ”
As soon as the words came out, Miao Qiang and Miao Le looked at each other, and Mrs. Miao turned her head in disgust, raised her butt and got up, "I don't get involved in your affairs." ”
And Li Cuihua, when she heard that word, her face turned a little white, "His father ......"
Miao Dahai glanced at his wife, then at his eldest son, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Miao Fu stood up, bowed deeply to his parents, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "Dad, mother, I have thought about it!" I'm not afraid of hardship, and I'm not afraid of death! But I promise you, I'll come back with my life! ”
"Big brother! I believe in you! Miao Le said loudly.
Miao Qiang and Miao Kang brothers put their arms around Miao Fu's shoulders and said, "Big brother, we also believe in you!" ”
The four brothers hugged each other, pressed against their foreheads, and cheered each other on.
Miao Dahai slapped the table hard, so frightened that the brothers were silent.
I only heard him say sharply, "Miao Fu, you remember, since you have decided to join the army, if you come back as a deserter one day, don't blame me for not letting you into this house!" ”
Miao Fu let go of his younger brothers, straightened his body, held his head high, and said loudly, "Dad, don't worry, a manly man, I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!" ”
"Good!" Meowth clapped excitedly.
Miao Fu was embarrassed all of a sudden, scratching the back of his head and smirking.
Li Cuihua also smiled with red eyes, it is a good thing that the child is older and has his own ambitions, although she has not read, but she also knows the truth that a good man has ambitions in all directions.
As soon as she heard that Miao Fu would leave in two days, Li Cuihua hurriedly packed her things again, and kept chattering, "Why is it so fast?" How do you say just go? ”
Meow Meow stood by the door and secretly beckoned to Miao Fu.
Miao Fu came over with a smile on his face, touched his sister's head dotingly, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Meow, thank you!" Waiting for the big brother to earn you a fame and come back! ”
Meow Meow pouted and shook her head disapprovingly, "Big brother, I don't like any fame, I just hope you can come back safely, and our family will be well." ”
Miao Fu's eyes were a little sore, and he nodded seriously, "Okay!" Big brother promises you, come back well! ”
Meow Meow was happy at this time, holding the big hand, hiding at the door, and mysteriously took out an ordinary small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Miao Fu was puzzled, "What is this?" ”
She put the porcelain vase into Miao Fu's hand, and explained with the excuse she had thought of a long time ago, "This is a gift from Master Hongzhi, big brother, when you are injured or feel unwell, take out a pill and take it, the master said, this pill is a gift from a divine doctor, if it weren't for the sake of our friendship, it wouldn't be given away easily!" ”
Miao Fu has always believed in his sister's words, looking at the palm porcelain bottle, he carefully put it into his arms, and promised, "Meow meow, don't worry, the eldest brother has written it down!" The eldest brother is not at home, if anyone bullies you, go to the third child, the third ghost has a lot of ideas, your second brother and fourth brother have strength, no one can bully you in vain! ”
Meow Meow wanted to laugh a little, and agreed, "Well, big brother, don't worry, I will listen to my father and mother, and I won't be bullied!" ”
The brother and sister talked for a long time, and when the three Miao Qiang brothers came over, the five brothers and sisters were reluctant for a while.
In March of this year, 14-year-old Miao Fu bid farewell to his parents and younger siblings and embarked on the road of joining the army, which was two years.
Next to the meow meow stove, while adding firewood, he counted with his fingers, "Mother, my eldest brother has been gone for five months." ”
Li Cuihua took the hand of the spatula for a moment, and said leisurely, "Yes, I don't know if it's hot over there, I haven't heard of the war over there recently, right?" ”
Meow Meow shook her head and said she didn't know, and hurriedly comforted, "Mother, don't worry, Young Master Jing has gone, there will definitely be no danger." ”
In the past few years, they have vaguely guessed that Qi Jingchen is the son of King Jin, the emperor's nephew, and the identity of the queen mother's grandson, but everyone pretends not to know.
If there is really any danger, the Queen Mother must be reluctant to take risks with her grandson.
Thinking about it like this, Li Cuihua felt a lot more at ease.
Meow Meow looked at Li Cuihua, who was a little haggard in her eyes, remembered the two bad burdens in the backyard, and comforted, "Mother, you have to pay attention to rest, don't always be like the third aunt and sister-in-law." ”
In the past few months, Wu Suying and Miao Xiancao have always caused some trouble from time to time, and Miao Dahai and his wife have passed with one eye closed.
It's just that after a long time, I'm still a little tired.
Li Cuihua put the rice in the pot, and the dishes were almost done, took the burning stick in Meowmeow's hand, and said, "Okay, my mother will come by myself, you go out to play for a while, and my mother will call you when the meal is ready." ”
Meow Meow just wanted to go and see the trouble, so she agreed.
