Nijo was a little hesitant. Although he liked to run around with his brother, he probably didn't have any idea about joining the army, right?
Look at Uncle Jiamu, he's tanned and has scars on his face. You can tell at a glance that being in the military can make you ugly. And Uncle Jiamu can't have a holiday all the time. My brother goes to school, and every week he has a holiday, but he thinks it's too short.
But he wanted to be with his brother...
Er Tiao's head spun around, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Brother, if we didn't join the army, we could catch fish, catch shrimps, and even chase rabbits in the mountains."
"Soldiers can also catch fish and shrimps, and chase rabbits in the mountains, which is even better. Uncle Jiamu is so good at catching fish because he was a soldier." Peng Yitiao caught Ertiao's words and scored a point.
"But there are no holidays when I'm in the army, so I can't see my mother anymore." Peng Ertiao changed his mind.
I can’t live without seeing my mother!
"You can take Mom over." He had already asked Uncle Jiamu about this. If Mom was the only one left at home, and he was a powerful official, he could take Mom over to live with him...
"But..." Soon, Peng Ertiao thought of another bad point about being a soldier.
One continues to refute.
So the two loving brothers started a verbal battle over the issue of "whether to join the army or not".
Little Tiger, Three Strips, and Six Strips couldn't get a word in. The main reason was that Little Tiger and Three Strips had no interest in the topic of whether or not to join the army.
As for the six lines, he didn't even have a clue. But he was a staunch supporter of the one line, and when he saw his two brothers arguing, he stood on his eldest brother's side with his hands on his waist without hesitation.
Whenever his eldest brother spoke a word, he would stop the last word and shout it out loudly to his second brother.
After a long while, the weak and isolated Er Tiao suddenly wavered. "How about I join the army too?"
Ichijou wasn't particularly happy when he saw his older brother suddenly give in. "Well, that's a long, long time in the future anyway. School is the most important thing right now."
Huh? Why are we talking about school again? Erjo crouched in the corner, his beautiful new schoolbag in hand, and began drawing circles, his melancholy mode resuming.
"Follow Da Guoguo and join the army!" Liu Tiao saw that his second brother squatted aside, and finally found a chance to talk to his first brother to express his loyalty.
"Then you have to grow up quickly, study hard, and then we can go to the army together." Yi Tiao heard the slightly older Liu Tiao say that he wanted to join the army, so he smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
Do I have to grow up again? Liu Tiao instantly wilted.
How big is considered big? Liu Tiao muttered to himself and squatted in another corner to think.
After a long while, he suddenly stood up. He had decided that he wanted to grow up! Grow really big!
After a few days, Cheng Zhenzhu noticed that Liu Tiao's appetite seemed to have grown again. After finishing the food she scooped up, he would secretly take some food and eat it. Judging from his skillful movements, it was clear that he had done this many times.
The food they packed for Liu Tiao was already quite a lot, but Cheng Zhenzhu was worried that Liu Tiao would get an upset stomach from the overeating, so she sent a few others after him.
When Liu Tiao saw his brothers chasing him, he ran away as fast as he could, then slithered around like a little loach, eating everything he could get his hands on. After eating, he turned around and smiled smugly at his brothers.
"There's something wrong with Liu Tiao!" One day, after Xiao Huzi finished a set of punches, he looked at Liu Tiao running around the yard, and scratched his double chin with a puzzled look on his face.
"Something is wrong..." Ichijo nodded, "He's eating more and more."
"He's even learning how to box from us." Er Tiao felt like he had discovered the key point.
After seeing San Tiao finish his ten laps, his brothers stopped watching him as he ran, took a few breaths, and went to find his mother. But before he even entered the room, he was dragged out.
There were six more being carried away.
Liu Tiao looked at his brothers who asked him to take a good rest, fiddling with his hands and feet, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Don't do that~" All six little kids started to cry out. Why is his brother grabbing him? He's busy growing up!
San Tiao looked at Liu Tiao who was forced to rest, and then looked at his second brother who was forcing him to run beside him. He felt very depressed. "Second brother, ten laps, done."
"It's only nine laps, one more lap, hurry up!" Er Tiao urged urgently.
Oh, his second brother must have miscounted again! Three sighed and broke into a trot. Never mind, it was hard to tell, so he just kept running. Luckily, his second brother only counted one lap this time...
Time flew by, and it was almost mid-August. Cheng Zhenzhu figured it was about time, so she packed up and prepared to take the kids to Hai City. Cheng Zhenbao received the letter and quickly took time off to pick them up.
He found out that what he picked up was not a person, but an object. "Sister, what are these?"
"I made a lot of crab paste this year. Bring some back to try. This one is already cooked, with seasonings and shrimp, so eat it quickly. Those two cans are half-cooked crab paste, you can add whatever ingredients you like to make it yourself.
These two bags are dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips. We've already eaten quite a few. The sweet potatoes got sweeter, so we just dried them all. There are dozens of pounds left. You and your sister each get a bag. The other two are dried seafood. We don't have much of anything here, so this is the most..."
"Isn't this too much?" Cheng Zhenbao was speechless. He had just brought back a large pile last month and still hadn't finished it.
We rarely need to buy groceries these days, especially when Little Tiger is away. They just sauté some small fish with chili peppers and boil some seaweed, and they enjoy it with gusto.
"It's not a lot." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled. "If you think it's too heavy, I'll carry it. You just take care of them."
"That's not possible. Let me carry it..." So early the next morning, Cheng Zhenbao led the way carrying a big snakeskin bag, and Cheng Zhenzhu held a few ropes in her hands and led a string of dolls onto the boat.
The people of Sanshi Island saw this and had something to say. It seemed that the Aiqing family was not just thinking about taking things from the mother's family!
Every time she left, her brother always carried a lot of stuff in his hands! Although they were near the sea and seafood was cheap, the Aiqing family had already exchanged things for these dried seafood. It was obvious that they valued their mother's family very much...
"Drink some water. You've sweated a lot along the way." After finding the ticket location, Cheng Zhenbao put his things away and got some water for his son and nephews.
While drinking water, he suddenly felt a vague gaze staring at him, and his face immediately became alert.
