Ma Datou and Dan Niu also heard some meaning from it, and their faces no longer looked relaxed.
"Working for the government?" Zhou Youshun snorted coldly and said, "When have you ever heard that the government has troops such as heavy troops? Moreover, Datong is an important town on nine sides, and there are border troops there, so there is no need for a trading name called Tiger Flag to recruit troops. "
The third child didn't refute this time, he just lowered his head.
Zhou Youshun said again: "Now you know why I don't let you be this soldier! And you two, Datou and Danniu, it's best not to be this heavy soldier. It's not a good thing."
"But I have already signed and pledged the money to buy wine and meat. The recruiters knew that we were ordinary people who had escaped from the disaster, so they specially gave us half a month's wages." Ma Datou said worriedly.
Daniel nodded vigorously on the side.
After hearing this, Zhou Youshun frowned and looked thoughtful.
Ma Datou, Danniu and Lao San didn't dare to disturb them and were waiting for Zhou Youshun to speak.
After a while, Zhou Youshun said: "If you return this jar of wine and meat, let's pool together the money you have and see if you can return the money and quit your job as a heavy soldier."
"Is there no other way?" Lao San asked Xiang Zhou Youshun.
He couldn't bear to return the hundreds of money that he finally had in his hand without having to worry about it. It was the first time since he was a child that he had so much money.
Zhou Youshun said with a fierce face: "I think you want money rather than your life. If you dare to ask for this money, aren't you afraid of being beheaded in the future?"
"Then give it back!" Lao San shook his head vigorously.
Compared with his small life, these few hundred dollars are nothing, and they are not enough to make him risk his life.
"That's all we can do." Ma Datou sighed.
I originally thought I had found a decent job, taking care of food and drink, and getting paid every month, but now I found out that it was a fatal job.
Zhou Youshun added: "Lingqiu is not a place to stay for a long time. When you quit your job, we will pack up and leave here. Don't stay here in Datong."
"Well, I listen to Brother Youshun." Ma Datou nodded vigorously.
Zhou Youshun was well-educated and literate, and he believed in Zhou Youshun.
"I also heard what Brother Youshun said." Daniel also said at the side.
At this time, there were footsteps and the sound of children playing outside the house.
Zhou Youshun glanced out of the window, and then the three people in the team room said: "Your sister-in-law is back with her two children. Don't tell your sister-in-law what I just said, so as not to worry her."
The other three people in the room nodded.
The door of the house was opened, and Zhou Youshun's mother-in-law Dafeng led the two children in. Seeing the other three people in the house, she said with a smile: "I heard someone outside said that the three of you joined the Tiger Flag's transport team. Is it true?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally the third child nodded hesitantly and said, "It's true, we joined the baggage team together."
"This is a good thing. I heard that the heavy troops don't have to do any work. They only need to train every day. They have three meals a day, and every meal is a meal with plenty of oil and water." Dafeng said with a smile, "You three can enjoy a lot in the future. Well, if your eldest brother hadn’t injured his leg, I would have wanted him to join this baggage team.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Youshun said with dissatisfaction: "What do you know about this woman? You really think this is a good thing. Let me tell you, I have asked the three of them to quit this job."
"Why are you quitting? It's such a good job. Many people want to go to it but don't want it." Dafeng said, "You don't know, the head of the family. When people know that the third child in our family has become a heavy soldier of the Tiger Flag, everyone will be envious. , the hala is almost flowing out."
At this time, the third child suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, I feel that I can't make a living in this business, and I'm ready to quit. Da Tou and Dan Niu are the same as me."
"Sister-in-law, what the third child said is right. Danu and I don't want to do this business anymore." Ma Datou said the same thing after the third child finished speaking.
Hearing this, Dafeng looked puzzled and said: "No one else can ask for such a good job. Why don't you want it anymore? Are you trying to get a customer?"
Seeing that none of the three people were willing to be this heavy soldier, she thought that these three people were contaminated with something unclean, and they all became dizzy.
"Okay, you, a woman, don't get involved in this matter." Zhou Youshun said to his mother-in-law, and then to the other three people. "You take the things on the table and return them, and then quit all the errands."
Ma Datou reached out and picked up a piece of meat on the table, and the third child also came over and picked up the wine jar.
The three of them were about to walk out when they heard someone outside the house say, "Is Zhou Youshun at home?"
"The chief is here." Dafeng heard the voices outside the house and recognized that it was the chief who was in charge of the refugees.
Zhou Youshun's team, Ma Datou and others said: "You three stay here first and listen to what the chief has to say. It won't be too late for you to resign after he leaves."
Ma Datou, who was about to leave, came back again, and the meat and wine were put back on the table.
"Chief, are you okay?" Zhou Youshun walked out of the room.
The chief standing outside the house put down the cloth bag in his hand and said, "I'm here to congratulate you. The third son of your family has joined the baggage corps and became a baggage soldier. The baggage corps knew that your family came here to escape, so they arranged for me to Send a bucket of grain from your third son in advance, this is a bucket of rice, please weigh it!"
Dafeng, who was standing at the door, looked at the cloth bag on the ground. He heard that it contained grain and wanted to take it. However, thinking that his boss had just told Lao San and the others to quit their job of transporting heavy troops, he had no choice but to give up.
"It's hard to make a trip, but the third son of our family just said that he regretted it and no longer wanted to be a heavy soldier. He also said that he wanted to resign from this job." Zhou Youshun said.
When the commander heard this, he frowned and said, "Are you saying that your third son no longer wants to be a heavy transport soldier and wants to quit his job?"
"Yes, the third child in my family is going to quit his job. Please tell the mayor and the people in the baggage team, and I will ask the third child to return the half-month salary he received." Zhou Youshun said.
The commander asked: "Can you tell me why your third son has to quit his job? This job is something that many people can't get. Your third son can win this job because he has a good foundation and is an officer in the transport team. Take a fancy to it."
"I have thanked the commander and the officer of the baggage team for their kindness on behalf of the third child. It is a pity that the third child in my family does not have that blessing and cannot be a heavy baggage soldier." Zhou Youshun mentioned again that the third child was unwilling to be a heavy baggage soldier.
The chief shook his head and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'm just a chief and have no control over the baggage train. Moreover, the baggage train is a soldier of the tiger-character flag. Since the third child of your family has signed and pledged it, at this time If I say I quit and want to resign, I'm afraid I'll be treated as a deserter."
"It's not that serious!" Zhou Youshun showed a trace of worry on his face.
The commander said solemnly: "I'm not joking with you. The military regulations of the Tiger Flag are very strict. Once you are deemed a deserter, you, the third one, may not survive, and even your whole family will be implicated." "
"But the third child in our family never joined that transport team and became a transport soldier." Zhou Youshun defended.
The chief shook his head and said: "Your third son has signed the paperwork, and he will be a baggage soldier of the baggage team. Moreover, half a month's wages were given to him, and I also sent a bucket of grain. This is already a baggage soldier." It’s like being treated like a soldier.”
Zhou Youshun's face finally turned ugly.
Of course he knew what the crime of deserting was, but he didn't expect that things would become so serious.
