Chapter 913 Xiao Qi Leaves Home

The family had already made all possible preparations for Xiao Qi. With the letter from the Xie family, Shao Yunduan accompanied him to cram for a while on military books. Qiao Xuan also gave him 10,000 taels of silver notes and asked him to keep them carefully and deposit them in the local bank as soon as he got there.

Xiaoqi is very grateful and full of expectations for the future.

But when I think about leaving home, I feel deeply reluctant.

In the days leading up to Xiaoqi's departure, Fang became even more worried, often staring blankly and then sighing softly.

In front of Xiao Qi, she hid her emotions very well and didn't reveal anything.

Until the day of farewell, Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried while hugging Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi's eyes also turned red from crying.

Shao Yunduan, Sanlang, Qiao Xuan and others hurried forward to persuade Fang with kind words, and finally managed to persuade her. Yang Xiaoni and Qiao Xuan supported her.

Xiao Qi kowtowed three times to her and Uncle Shao, stood up, and got on the donkey cart with Ding Jinshan. Shao Sanlang and Shao Yunduan sent them to the county town.

Until this point, County Magistrate Qiao did not know that Shao Yunduan's younger brother had enlisted in the army.

Conscription was not a big deal to County Magistrate Qiao, so he naturally didn't care about it.

As long as there are enough people and the lawyer has checked the household registration and found no problems, he will stamp his seal and send someone to send them to the provincial capital, and then he will have nothing to do.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan tacitly understood each other and didn't tell him.

There is no benefit in saying it. Mrs. Qiao might even try to influence me, so it's better not to say anything.

So, Xiaoqi was mixed in with the others, sent to the provincial capital, and then headed north.

Now that Xiaoqi is missing from the family, everyone feels a little listless.

It seems like there is something empty and desolate.

In the past, everyone would happily go into the mountains for two days every few days to hunt and pick mountain products. Every time they were in high spirits and had a great harvest.

Now that Xiaoqi is not at home, naturally no one mentions going into the mountains.

Qiao Xuan could actually lead everyone into the mountains with her special abilities, but without Xiao Qi, things were different. Even Qiao Xuan herself couldn't muster up any energy.

Niu was so conceited that she had to come over to gloat over the other's misfortune.

He deliberately said something sarcastic to Fang: "Now that Xiaoqi has joined the army, who knows how many years it will take for him to come back! Your family used to have more game than they could eat, but now, there is nothing left! If I were you, I would not let Xiaoqi leave home."

Fang was almost mad at her and kicked her out of the house after scolding her.

"What does our family's affairs have to do with an outsider like you? You will have no share in the game from now on!"

Just an ordinary member of the tribe, what are you thinking about?

Niu was disappointed and left angrily.

When he got home, he muttered and cursed for a long time.

Yan was tactful and stayed away from him.

She couldn't persuade Niu's temper, so she could only hide. To be honest, she was quite convinced. She was obviously always irritated by the eldest wife, but she still enjoyed it and couldn't help but find fault with her whenever there was something wrong.

Xiaoqi has left home, and everyone in the eldest family is upset. At this time, they have to come to cause trouble. Isn't this just asking people to vent their anger?

A few days later, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan also prepared to leave home and go to Beijing.

If Shao Yunduan passes the exam, he will definitely find a way to come back. Although his family members will be reluctant to let him go, they will be more inclined to send their blessings.

Instead, Fang and Uncle Shao repeatedly told Shao Yunduan to take care of himself and not to be nervous. No matter what the result was, he had to come back because his family was waiting for him.
