208 Sun Hongyu is leaving
When Sun Hongyu returned home in the evening, he saw Changsheng and his wife so excited, but he couldn't bear to bring it up immediately.
Two days later, Mei Niang urged her husband to invite several tables at Juxuan Tower. Although they were just students, it did not prevent the family from celebrating in a small circle, especially to thank Ping'an's teacher and master.
On the second day after the banquet, Sun Hongyu didn't dare to wait any longer. It was already April 20th, and there were only ten days left until the end of the month as mentioned by the general. He had missed the military team heading to the border, and he couldn't go on the journey alone. It was too unsafe to be alone.
"Changsheng, Mei Niang, I have something to tell you. And Zishu, you don't have to leave. Listen to what I say and think about your next move."
Wan Changsheng and his wife, including He Zishu, were all a little stunned. Why was Uncle Sun so serious?
Erqiang took Sanqiang to the main courtyard, Tongmiao and Mrs. Hu also went to the kitchen, so there were only a few adults at this time.
"Changsheng, I will be going to the northern border in a few days. I told Sicheng and Mr. Sun about this two days ago. The general sent me a letter saying that there was a big fight between the northern border and the Mongolian tribe last month. The news has not yet spread to the people. I guess the court will soon be unable to hide it, and will not hide it."
"Uncle." All three of them were stunned.
In the past two years, everyone should have prayed to the Buddha in their hearts, hoping that a real war would not break out. If the war gets bigger, there might be military service. If the treasury is empty, taxes will also increase, and the harvest is already not very good.
Fortunately, it has been okay.
"This is true, Zishu, you should think it through. If you want to go home, you should leave as soon as possible. If you waste time, you might not be safe on the road in the future. Also, we can't tell anyone about this. Just keep it in your mind.
The general asked me to go with the military. They will be leaving from Yong'an at the end of the month, so it will only take a few days. It will take at least two years for me to return. Changsheng, I have asked Sicheng to find a doctor to take care of you. I think Madam Zhao is a good choice."
"Uncle, if that's true, I'll go with you, and I'll make arrangements for Mei Niang."
Mei Niang looked at her husband in surprise. Unless it was a big and special war, her husband would not have to serve in the army in his life.
"No, you have to stay with your wife. You also have Xi'er at home. If the war breaks out and the men are not at home, how will the women and children survive? You must study medicine well."
"Changsheng, what Uncle Sun said makes sense. You can't leave. I was planning to stay here as an accountant, but if I do, I'm worried about my family. If the war gets intense, my eldest brother and the others won't be able to leave."
If there is military service, he cannot hide away by himself and let his elder brother and Daqiangzi go. It would be best if he could spend money to buy a place. But if he cannot buy it and has to recruit people, what should he do?
"Brother, are you really going to let go of this great opportunity? Will your parents scold you when you get home?"
Sixty taels of silver per year, a set of clothes for each of the four seasons, free lunch, and no expenses living with her. I have returned to my hometown, and now I can't do business and can't make any money at all.
"Changsheng, little sister, I have to go back. Uncle Sun is right. I may not have a safe life on the road ahead. My parents are getting old. If the military service comes one day, one of the three of us, my elder brother, Daqiangzi, and I, will have to go. I think I should go."
Wan Changsheng felt sad. His eldest brother had a leg injury, and Wan Qing was just sixteen years old this year. If he really had to serve in the military, Wan Qing would not be able to escape.
"Brother, spend as much money as you can. You don't have time, even if you go to the battlefield."
Send someone to die.
But he couldn't utter these three words.
Mei Niang nodded vigorously: "Second brother, if you really want to go back, you can leave the three strong here. In case of military service, spend as much money as possible to buy them. It doesn't matter how much. People are more important than money."
Wan Changsheng sighed, "Second brother, why don't you stay here? It's safer here than back home. If not, go to Medicine Valley. I'll look for it tomorrow. It doesn't matter if there's an escort agency or a caravan. If there's really no one, let Erqiang and the others take you away. Mei Niang and I have saved some money, so we'll give you some later."
He Zishu waved his hands: "No, the family has saved money in the past two years, and Erqiang also brought a lot back. My eldest brother and I have not separated. If we really go to the army, it will be one person, and the silver will not exceed 20 taels. I really can't buy it, no matter how much silver I have."
Sun Hongyu said, "What Zishu said makes sense. If there is military service, we will definitely spend as much money as possible. If it doesn't work, we will let Daqiangzi go. He will be a military doctor. With me there, there is nothing to worry about."
"Uncle, I want to go find the eldest son. How about letting Wan Qing study medicine with Doctor Sun? If he really needs someone, it's better than going to the front line to die. If he's not cut out for it, let him go home after the war."
"Okay, you can talk to him later. If the eldest master agrees, I will write a letter to my cousin. Your nephew is already sixteen years old. It's a bit late for him to learn medicine."
Wan Changsheng was a little embarrassed: "Uncle, it's just a temporary solution."
In fact, what he couldn't say was that he really wanted Wan Qing or Wan Xiang to learn a skill, especially medicine.
But he didn't dare to say it. Ping An had already pleaded for his cousin before, so how could he do it again and again?
The two older children may not be able to wait any longer, hoping Ping An will grow up or start his own business.
Wan Changsheng stood up and said, "It's not too late yet. I'll go to the city to look for the eldest master. Brother Ge is familiar with the caravan or escort agency."
Sun Hongyu shook his head: "Changsheng, you are panicking. People who study medicine should not panic when encountering problems. It is not too late now, but by the time you find someone and discuss the matter, it will be late. Besides, if you go to find Manager Ge, he will have to find someone to do the work tomorrow. What's the point of going now?"
Wan Changsheng sat down again and said, this is the truth.
The next morning, Wan Changsheng found the eldest son. Although he was embarrassed to say it out loud, for the sake of his eldest brother and nephew, he still suggested that Wan Qing go to the clinic, and explained that it was a temporary measure and he could go home when the war was not so intense.
"Brother Wan, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. If your nephew is willing to go, he can go directly to Doctor Sun and tell him that I said that he can go, but he must start as a clerk first. Otherwise, he will not know anything about medicine and will not be able to learn it well.
If you really have talent in this area, you can stay here even after the war is over, but we have agreed that only one person can go in. The Baicao Hall in the county is not big, so too many people won’t be allowed in.”
"Thank you, eldest master. If a child has never learned Kung Fu, he would die if he went to the battlefield. My eldest brother injured his arms and legs a few days ago. He had the surgery safely and will not recover for more than half a year."
"I heard from Mr. Sun that Ping An Medical School is pretty good. Does your second uncle really plan to go back? He's doing pretty well in accounting."
"Second Uncle Ping An is worried about his family and plans to go back to check on them."
"Okay, go find Manager Ge and help him arrange it. He's very familiar with this."
Ping'an came to talk to the master about the blueprints and happened to run into his father. Only then did he realize that the war was really coming.
