Chapter 275 Those who serve in the army serve in the army, and those who go to the countryside go to

At the Li family's house, after entering, several people sat down and started chatting while drinking tea.

"Captain Peng, I'm leaving my brother in your care. You must be strict with him and try to keep him in the army." Li Kangri said.

"Don't worry about that. Your brother has a good level of education. In our melting pot, even if he is a stone with many edges and corners, we can smooth him out." Captain Peng said with a smile.

"Brother, I will definitely work harder. After all, being a soldier is my dream." Li Yuanjun said.

"Okay, just work hard. Practice what I taught you well and stick to it. Sooner or later you will realize your dream." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Anti-Japanese, why don't we go over now? I guess the contract for everyone else is about to expire. Can you stop by and see our commander?" said Captain Peng.

"Okay, since you are in a hurry, then let's go. I originally wanted to let you taste my apprentice's cooking skills." Li Kangri said politely.

"Next time, next time." Captain Peng said politely.

"Haha, Captain, I have learned a little bit too. I will cook a few meals for you when the time comes. Anyway, the ingredients and recipes are all in my head. I have learned from my sister for a long time." Li Yuanjun said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" said Captain Peng.

So, several people walked out quickly. As soon as they arrived at the Central Courtyard, they saw Yi Zhonghai and his wife waiting at the door. When he saw Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai did not dare to greet him, but just smiled.

"Captain Peng, why don't you come into my house and have some tea?" Yi Zhien invited.

"Yes, go inside and have some tea," Li Fengjuan said with a smile.

"No, we are very pressed for time," Captain Peng said, "Yi Zhien, right?"

"Yes, Captain." Yi Zhien replied.

"Pack up immediately and follow us. We can give you a ride along the way, otherwise you have to run there by yourself," said Captain Peng.

"Don't go in..." Yi Zhonghai shouted.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li Fengjuan, "Okay, I'll pack it for you right away. It's not a lot of luggage, just some daily necessities."

"Don't bring too much. The army has everything. We have several sets of clothes a year. Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door." said Captain Peng.

After saying that, Captain Peng was the first to leave the middle courtyard and walked towards the door.

After they left, Li Fengjuan immediately ran into the house to pack up, and as she packed, she said, "Ji En, I'll bring you some money and tickets. Don't be reluctant to spend money when you go to the army, especially to get along well with Li Yuanjun. You can see today that he's here just for Yuanjun's brother."

"I told you that you won't even come into my house," Yi Zhonghai cursed, "When you get there, work hard and don't fall behind Li Yuanjun. Strive for promotion and you will be a cadre when you return from civilian work."

"Old Yi, don't think that Zhien will be able to overpower the reinforcements. How is that possible? Don't let the relationship become strained." Li Fengjuan said, "Right, Zhien, you can't listen to what your father said. You have to work hard, but you can't compete with the reinforcements. You have to give in to him in everything. If it weren't for him, would you be able to be a soldier?"

"Mom, I know." Yi Zhien said, "The reinforcements are not that kind of people. We are friends."

"Well, okay, no more words, don't keep people waiting, get out now!"

So, Yi Zhonghai and his two spouses took their things and left the house.

At the Jia family, the grandmother and grandson at the door looked at the three members of the Yi family who walked out and started cursing again, "What a piece of shit! Why should an adopted son be a soldier? It would be better to give him to our family!" Jia Zhang cursed.

"Hmph, that Yi Zhien, he was a deserter even when he was in the army, what a waste of his quota." Bang Geng also echoed.

"Bang Geng, don't envy him. He will be caught and shot sooner or later if he escapes." Jia Zhang said jealously, "When the time comes, you can go to the countryside and work hard. Maybe you can even become a high-ranking official."

Later, Qin Huairu, who was busy at work, heard the conversation between her grandmother and grandson, and felt very upset. If it were in the past, not only would Sha Zhu fight for her, but Yi Zhonghai would definitely give the quota to her family. But now, she is no longer a beautiful girl, but an ugly woman who others call Qin Banbian, half human, half ghost.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's tears began to drip again.

"Banggeng, you should also get ready and pack some things. You are going to the countryside tomorrow. You should prepare what you need to bring in advance so that you don't rush when the time comes." Qin Huairu said.

"Mom, what should I bring? It's just clothes and quilts, and other things. Mainly money and food coupons. You have to prepare more for me, otherwise I will starve to death." Banggeng turned around and said.

Hearing Banggeng's words, Qin Huairu felt bitter. She had almost no money or food coupons, and she had to count every month to make ends meet. If she gave them to Banggeng, the whole family would go hungry this month, so she said, "Banggeng, Mom has no money, let alone food coupons. How can our family have enough of those things? If I hadn't counted, do you think our family could have survived?"

Bang Geng also knew that what Qin Huairu said was true. He knew how his family was doing, but how would he live if he really had no money? Would he really starve to death outside? People often say that it’s better to have a mother at home and more money when you go out, so he asked, "Mom, how much money are you going to give me? You can't give me nothing, right?"

"Five dollars. Mom can only squeeze out five dollars for you this month. Even with this, we will have to starve next month." Qin Huai said bitterly.

"What?" Bang Geng exclaimed, "Only five dollars? How can I live on five dollars? You might as well let me starve to death now. No, absolutely not."

Qin Huairu also knew that five yuan was really a little too little, but there was no other way, she really had no money, so she looked at Jia Zhang expectantly. She felt that Jia Zhang would definitely bleed for her grandson, "Mom, can you..." Qin Huairu asked.

"No, the money is saved for Banggeng to marry a wife, and it cannot be touched now. I think five dollars is not a small amount. Banggeng is not going to the countryside alone. With so many people going, he will definitely not starve." Jia Zhang said.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Bang Geng was extremely angry. That was the money his father had earned with his life, and he couldn't let Jia Zhang take it all for himself.

So he said, "Grandma, I will be grown up when you get married, and I will be able to earn money by myself. Now you give me a hundred."

When she heard the number 100, the hairs on Jia Zhang's body stood on end. "No, no, absolutely not, this money cannot be touched..." Jia Zhang shouted, "Not even a cent can be touched."

Seeing that Jia Zhang refused, Bang Geng knew that he couldn't get the money out. He had wanted to steal it for a long time, but he didn't know where to hide it. So he threw a stone to ask for directions, "Grandma, if you don't let me get it myself, do you think I don't know where you hid the money?"
