"Chief, you are more familiar with the people of Tiger Character Banner than we are. Can you please come forward and tell me not to let my uncle become this heavy soldier." Dafeng, who was standing in front of the door, asked the chief in front of him. .
Obey your father at home, and obey your husband when married.
Although she knew why her man didn't want her brother-in-law to be a heavy soldier, she chose to stand on her man's side and help her man ask for help.
She could ask for help as a woman, but if it were a man asking for help, she would lose face. At this time, she knew how to protect her man's face.
The commander shook his head and said: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, it's not that I don't want to help you. You just came here, so you may not know how strict the military regulations of the Tiger Character Flag are. You will understand after you stay in Lingqiu for a long time. All I can tell you right now is that since your third son has signed the paperwork, he will be a supply soldier of the Tiger Character Banner, and he must report to the supply camp tomorrow."
"Chief, is there really nothing we can do?" Zhou Youshun frowned and asked again unwillingly.
The lieutenant shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Zhou Youshun said again: "Chief, please wait a moment while I go in to get something."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the house.
The manager outside the door hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't leave and chose to stay.
Dafeng in front of the door looked into the house, wondering what his man was doing in the house.
Zhou Youshun, who retreated into the room, came to the wooden table in the room, reached out and picked up the wine jar on the table, then looked at the piece of meat on the table, and reached out to lift it up.
Holding a wine jar in one hand and a piece of meat in the other, he walked out again.
"I don't have anything to give to my family. Chief, take this jar of wine and this piece of meat and treat it as a filial piety for the third child." As he said that, Zhou Youshun handed the wine and meat to the chief in front of him. .
The chief took a step back, raised his brows, and said: "It's not easy for your family to come to Lingqiu. It's hard for you to have something to eat. How can I take your things? Take it back quickly."
"Please accept it, Chief. I just ask the Chief to go to the baggage team and say a few words of kindness, so that my youngest son can stay with me and help me take care of my family." Zhou Youshun passed the meat and wine forward again. Delivered.
Li Chang, who was standing opposite, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are a scholar and know a lot, so I won't be sloppy with you."
"Please tell me, Chief." Zhou Youshun bowed, but did not pass the wine and meat in his hand forward.
The director said: "Even though I am the director here, I am not qualified to interfere with the baggage train. Don't say I can't collect your things. Even if I do, I can't handle the matter. Just listen to me." I advise you to let your third child go to the baggage corps to report. If you don’t go, the baggage corps will definitely treat him as a deserter, and no one will be able to save your third child."
"This..." Zhou Youshun's claws went numb for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the mayor in front of him would not accept his gift, nor would he go to the baggage team to help the third son of his family.
"Brother, why are you begging him? At worst, we have to go somewhere else, and Lingqiu is not the only place to stay." At some point, the third child walked out of the house.
When he saw his eldest brother asking for help in a low voice, he felt very uncomfortable. As soon as he came out of the room, he immediately comforted his eldest brother, and at the same time he did not take the threat there seriously.
Ma Datou and Da Niu also came out.
When the chief across the street heard what Lao San said, his face darkened, his voice became colder, and he said: "If you want to escape, no one can stop you, but I want to remind you that you may not be able to escape with your two legs." Four-legged war horse, I guarantee you will be captured if you can't escape Lingqiu." Weimei
"Chief, don't be angry. My younger brother is young and can easily speak impulsively. Please don't argue with him, Chief." Zhou Youshun saw that the long face turned cold and hurriedly tried to persuade him, while giving Lao San a hard look.
The commander there looked at Zhou Youshun and said: "Mr. Zhou, I'm not trying to scare you. In the Tiger Flag, no one who dares to provoke military regulations will have a good end. I also saw that your family is here for the first time, so I said a few words. I hope You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The bags and grain he brought were left on the ground.
When Zhou Youshun saw the chief walking away, he turned around, looked at Lao San and others standing at the door, and said coldly: "Why are you still blocking the door? Everyone go inside."
The third child has been afraid of his elder brother since he was a child, so he entered the house honestly.
Ma Datou and Daniel looked at each other, chose to stay, and followed Lao San to the back room.
Zhou Youshun walked into the house carrying the wine and meat. When he got to the door, he handed the meat forward and said to his mother-in-law: "Go and pack the meat and prepare some food to go with the wine. I, the third child, and the others will have a few drinks together."
Dafeng took the meat and walked towards the stove under the window.
Zhou Youshun entered the house with a wine jar in his hand.
When he came to the house, he sat down on the edge of the Kang and said to the third child at the same time: "Lao San, please put the bowls on the table, and we brothers will have some drinks together."
The third child picked up the upside-down bowl on the table and placed one in front of each other. The extra one remained upside down on the table for fun.
Zhou Youshun opened the mud seal at the mouth of the jar, held up the wine jar with both hands, and filled the four wine bowls on the table with wine.
"Everyone says that the sorghum wine produced in Tiger Character Banner is good wine. Not to mention, it smells delicious to me." Zhou Youshun took a few big breaths of the wine-scented air with his nose.
The third child grabbed the wine bowl and started to drink.
At this time, Zhou Youshun let go of one hand on the wine jar to stop Lao San, and said at the same time: "There's no rush, it won't be too late to drink when I finish talking."
The third child had no choice but to put down his wine bowl again.
Ma Datou and Da Niu both looked at Zhou Youshun, curious about what he was going to say.
Zhou Youshun sighed and said, "I missed you. If I had known that Lingqiu was like this, I would have never brought you here."
"Brother, I can't blame you for this. If I do, it's the people who tricked us into coming to Lingqiu." Lao San said.
Daniel also said: "Brother Youshun, I really can't blame you for this. No one knew that Lingqiu was in such a situation. A few of us even took the initiative to come to serve as soldiers for others. If we were to blame, it was we who were involved, Youshun." Big brother’s family.”
"Brother Youshun, is the matter really as serious as you say?" Ma Datou asked Xiang Zhou Youshun.
Although he did not come to Datong with Zhou Youshun and others, Zhou Youshun had read books and was literate. Like other illiterate people, he was willing to believe those who had read books.
Zhou Youshun said: "We have been in Lingqiu for a few days, and I have also observed it over the past few days. This tiger-character flag is very unusual. Even though Lingqiu is rich now, it is still cooking oil here. I don't know when it will be Something will happen, which is why I don’t want you to be this heavy soldier.”
