That night, Su Chen went shopping with his mother for a long time. Su Wan and he took Su's mother to buy clothes, pearls, flowers, and rouge. Su's mother smiled very happily.
Tonight in Xiangzhou City, I don't know which house had something good happen. It was rare that a fireworks was set off at a time that was neither a year nor a holiday.
After returning from playing tired, Su Wan and Su Chen sent Mother Su back to her room to rest.
Early tomorrow morning, Su Chen was going to report to the new military camp. He hadn't packed anything yet or prepared anything, so Su Wan helped him pack it together. By the way, he also had some things to give him.
She brought two bundles to Su Chen.
"What is this?" Su Chen asked curiously.
Su Wan put the bundle on the table and spread it out:
"There are knee pads here. It's autumn in the north. I heard that the weather is very cold and there will be snow in winter. Going to the military camp is no better than at home. You have to take care of yourself. Bring these things with you. You will definitely be able to use them. What's more Here are two pairs of boots. Marching and fighting is very difficult. The journey to the border is thousands of miles away. You need two pairs of comfortable and wear-resistant shoes. This will make you feel much more comfortable.
Also, I considered that you might not be able to bring too many things, so I prepared a few bottles of golden sore medicine for you. There are pills for internal use and external application. These are necessities. You can use them if you are injured. There are also two I'll sew a hundred taels of silver notes into your knee pads for you. Don't reveal your money unless you have to. There are many people in the military camp, and people's hearts are separated from each other. I'm afraid someone greedy for money will stab you in the back, and..."
At this moment, Su Wan was like a nagging old woman, nagging Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't mind it, but listened to her quietly, with a doting smile on his face, nodding in agreement from time to time.
"I am also thinking about it. Your military discipline may be strict and you are not allowed to bring too many cumbersome things, but the things I prepared are portable and practical. Third brother, have you remembered everything I told you?"
Su Wan was chattering, and when he looked up, he saw Su Chen laughing there, but he didn't know how much he heard.
"I heard my good sister, don't worry, I will take care of myself, thank you Wan Wan for preparing these for me."
It can be seen that this has been prepared for a long time. She always knows what she is thinking, and she understands herself very well. How can Su Chen not be moved by this?
Su Wan was also quite reluctant to let go of her third brother. She had been back for such a long time, and when they met for the first time, she still remembered saying hello to him that night. He was blushing and embarrassed, and he was very innocent and cute.
Later, the third brother was always very kind to her and guarded her silently. He didn't say a word about anything she asked him to do, and he was willing to be an errand boy.
What kind of man is third brother?
In modern terms, he should be a father-type man. His love is as heavy as a father's love. He is not noisy, quiet, unknown, and even has no sense of existence. But if you take a closer look, you will find that he actually I have done so much behind you and been with you so much.
"Third brother, you must protect yourself. You cannot only have justice in your heart. You must remember that you still have a large family waiting for you to come back."
Su Wan said this last sentence. In the original work, he trapped himself in the enemy camp just for righteousness and suffered so many painful punishments. She just hoped that he would remember that he still had his family waiting for him to go home. With this With this motivation, he can be more vigilant and protect himself.
Su Chen nodded solemnly and accepted his sister's instructions.
"Wan Wan, I will. Just wait for me to come back. When I become a general, no one will look down on us."
He knew that in the eyes of outsiders, they were just a businessman who smelled like copper. He heard Yang Qingqing say that Mrs. Ning Yuanbo looked at Su Wan, and expressed disdain for her as a businesswoman and not worthy of her. Ning Zhiqian.
So he vowed to make a name for himself and give her more confidence and support. He wanted his parents and sister to always hold their heads high and be respected when they walk out of the house.
"Okay, go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow." Su Wan said what he wanted to say before leaving.
In fact, no one could sleep much tonight, and they all got up at the same time the next morning, preparing to send Su Chen off.
The new military camp was established five miles outside Xiangzhou City. Recruitment was conditional. Only children in the family were not eligible, those who were sick were not eligible, and those who were short in stature were not eligible.
You don’t want to be an only child because you are afraid that there are elderly people at home with no one to support you, and those who are sick or short in stature are not qualified to go to the battlefield, which will also lower your overall strength.
In fact, if someone like Su Chen who has martial arts skills enters the military camp, once a war breaks out, he will be noticed very quickly. It is easy to get a small official position. As long as he has military exploits and is brave in killing, he can become a soldier. Centurions, thousands, it’s not a question.
Su's mother got up early in the morning, rolled out the noodles, lit the fire, made soup, laid eggs, and prepared a bowl of noodles for Su Chen to see off.
The kitchen was filled with mist and an appetizing aroma of soup stock.
Today, it seems that Mother Su is no longer as pessimistic as yesterday, but is smiling again.
"After you go out, you can't even taste the flavors at home. You loved noodles when you were a child. Even if it is a bowl of clear soup noodles with nothing, you still eat it with gusto. If I give you another egg, you don't know. No matter how happy you are, eat quickly. After you finish eating, my mother will take you out of the city."
Mother Su brought the noodles to Su Chen. Su Chen's luggage had been packed and he was ready to go at any time.
Seeing the bowl full of noodles, Su Chen's nose felt sour. He ate all the noodles without saying a word, and even finished the soup.
After that, they said nothing more. The family sent him out of the city gate. Su Wan and Su's mother were silent on the way. Su Yi and Su Jing didn't talk much. Only Su Yun and the third brother were walking side by side, chatting and laughing. Lighten the mood.
He said:
"Third brother, you must write a letter back when you have time to report that you are safe."
"Third brother, you must be very majestic on the battlefield. I saw you competing with Feng Ying yesterday. It was the first time I knew how powerful you were."
"You can't go in vain if you go here. At any rate, the whole general will be in charge, and I can follow Wei Ming Ming Ming."
Fortunately, his chattering didn't make the atmosphere so sad and sad as parting.
Because of the reluctance to leave, the originally long journey from home to the city gate was suddenly shortened.
"Just send it here, Mom, Wan Wan, you all go back quickly, the sun is shining brightly outside."
At the gate of the city, besides their family, there were many places where the same parting was going on, but everyone had different family backgrounds and different intentions.
Some are forced by life, while others are the feelings of family and country.
"Come back safely, your father, your sister and I are waiting for you to come back."
Mother Su did not say too many parting words that saddened the spring and autumn. She at least let her son leave in peace and contentment. She could not let him think about his family while in the military camp.
