The atmosphere was a little strange and sad, Lin Qiao sighed in her heart, and then half-teased: "Dare not come back!" If you don't come back, I'll screw you, but you promised to come back and get married. ”

"Okay, we'll get married when we come back." Song Tingfan nodded firmly.

When he had saved enough for the dowry, he came back to marry his sister-in-law.

He agreed in one bite, Lin Qiao was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

It was almost dusk, the rain was light, and there was no donkey cart at the entrance of the town, so Lin Qiao had to borrow a carriage from Liu Xu.

Liu Xu readily agreed, "Cheng, but the coachman didn't come today, I'll let Huzi send you back." ”

Before Lin Qiao could speak, Song Tingfan spoke up, his tone was a little fast, "No, I will." ”

Liu Xu glanced at him, thought of something and smiled, "Cheng, then you slow down." After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at Lin Qiao.

Your uncle is jealous.

Her meaning is obvious, and it's hard for Lin Qiao to think about it: "......"

……

It was getting dark, and the two of them didn't delay much, and they got the carriage and went home, but the rain washed the ground was a little slippery, and the carriage was very difficult.

When he arrived in the village, it was already dark, and before Lin Qiao reached the courtyard gate, he heard Laicai and Jinbao planing the door, and seemed to know that they were back.

Lin Qiao whispered "shh

Soon there was a sound of small footsteps inside, followed by the old man's hoarse voice, "Who is it?" ”

"Grandpa, it's us." Song Tingfan replied

As soon as he heard that it was his grandson's voice, Song Rong hurriedly opened the door, "Why are you back now, it's just raining, the road is slippery, haven't you eaten, I'll let your grandma give you a hot meal." ”

Before the two of them could say anything, he went into the house and called Song Qin.

Not long after the courtyard door was closed, an oil lamp was lit in the house.

I hadn't seen them for a while, Song Qin's family was overjoyed, and took Lin Qiao's hand and didn't let go, "I'll cook for you, sit and wait." ”

"No, I ate bread on the way." Lin Qiao grabbed her.

Mrs. Fan also got up, "The cake is not full, I'll get it, and it will be good soon." ”

Song Qin's family echoed again and again, and then looked at Song Tingfan, his eyes couldn't hide the joy of seeing his grandson, "That is, I will be hungry, tomorrow is not the middle of the year, why did Niu Niu come back?" ”

Lin Qiao and Song Tingfan didn't tell the old couple that they didn't study in a private school, and if they knew it, they would be angry.

The body itself is not very good, and if you are angry, I am afraid it will be even worse.

Zhou Tiedan, Song Tingfan asked for it.

So the people in the village didn't know, they only knew that the Song Sanjia had suffered retribution and were arrested by the government.

Song Tingfan didn't know how to answer, Lin Qiao naturally lied, "I'm recruiting, I'll ask for leave from the private school, if it happens, I won't read it." ”

Song Tingfan had already told his grandfather and grandmother about being a soldier, but despite this, Song Qin and Song Rong were stunned for a while.

Song Qin glanced at Song Tingfan, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally said with reluctance in his eyes: "Why is it early, isn't it October?" After speaking, his eyes were red.

"It is said that it is the Queen Mother's birthday this year, and it will be done in a big way, so it will be two months ahead of schedule."

Lin Qiao glanced at them, then stood up and made an excuse to leave them a place to talk, "I'll go back to the room and add some clothes, it's a little cold, Grandma Fan, you can help me find clothes." ”

Mrs. Fan understood what she meant, and hurriedly followed her out.

After they left, the kitchen was quiet for a while, and Song Qin's tears rolled in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to fall, "Niuniu, do you really want to go?" ”

"It's good for Niu Niu to go, there is no way out of staying in the village." Although Song Rong was reluctant, the man thought farther than Song Qin's, Niu Niu had no help from his parents, so he could only rely on himself.

Even if life at home is better now, you can't always rely on pretty children.

Song Tingfan didn't feel good when he saw Song Qin's appearance, he reached out and patted her on the back, and comforted: "Grandma, I'm going to go, so that others don't bully you." ”

Song Qin, who could hold back his tears just now, couldn't stop his tears when he heard this, and choked up and said guiltily: "It's us who dragged you down." ”

"No, there's no drag, grandma, you don't have to think like this, otherwise I'll be angry." Song Tingfan's expression was a little serious.

Song Qin didn't say anything, and after a while, she said hoarsely, "What do you think of your sister-in-law?" ”

I don't know how many years it will be when I am a soldier, and it is really impossible to let Lin Qiao wait for him, after all, she is sixteen years old.

"Marry when you come back."

Song Tingfan pursed his lips, glanced outside the door, lowered his voice and said, "Grandma, you have to help me watch." ”

It's false to say that he is not afraid, he is afraid, so afraid that he doesn't want to go.

He was afraid that his sister-in-law would remarry in the past few years.

But he didn't have a choice, he didn't have a father, he could only rely on himself.

Song Qin sighed softly, and finally "selfishly" agreed to his grandson, "Okay." ”

……

Early the next morning, a big gong was struck in the village, and it was struck several times, and finally everyone in the village went to the entrance of the village.

Zhou Ping raised his hand and motioned for them not to speak, and when they quieted down, he said: "The notice of the government's recruitment has come down, and those who intend to be soldiers come to me to register, try to complete the registration before noon, and the book will be handed in in the afternoon." ”

Many people didn't know about recruiting in advance, and some people were surprised and asked, "Ah, isn't it October?" ”

"It's August, and the fifteenth is leaving." Zhou Ping didn't know the specific reason, and the official didn't say the specific reason when he came, and he didn't ask.

He added, "If there is anything you want to go, raise your hand and let me see it first." ”

Suddenly, everyone looked left and right to see who went back, but when they saw Song Tingfan raising his hand, Niu Erjiao Lang joked: "Little uncle, what are you going to do, be careful and pee your pants in fear." ”

"You shut up Lao Tzu." The old man next to him kicked him angrily.

Zhou Ping didn't expect Song Tingfan to go back, after all, the Song Er family only had this seedling, and he wanted to persuade a few words, but he endured it again, and it was difficult to say it in front of so many people.

"Except for Ting Fan, who hasn't been there?"

After asking several times in a row, no one raised their hand, now is not a famine era, basically the family will not let the male child go to the army, after all, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back.

Everyone's attention was on Song Tingfan, and there was a woman who simply complained for Song Tingfan, thinking that Lin Qiao was disgusted with the uncle, "Sister-in-law Tingfan, why don't you let Tingfan go, Song Er's family is just a seedling for him, if he has anything, won't Song's second family be finished?" ”

"It's not my sister-in-law who asked me to go, it's me who wants to go, and it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law." Song Tingfan hurriedly explained.

How can the people believe that whoever is full and has nothing to do will seek death.

The woman wanted to say something, but Zhou Ping interrupted, "It's done, if no one goes, go back to their respective homes to eat and work, don't have nothing to do!" ”

"Tingfan come with me."

Song Tingfan said to Lin Qiao and left with Zhou Ping.

The Lin family didn't know the news that Song Tingfan was going to be a soldier, and they were dumbfounded when they heard it at first glance, especially Li Guifen and Lin Han, who also expected Song Tingfan to marry his daughter.
