The atmosphere was a bit sad. Lin Qiao sighed in her heart, and then half-jokingly said, "Don't come back! If I don't come back, I will twist you. But you agreed to come back and get married."

"Okay, get married when you come back." Song Tingfan nodded firmly.

He saved up enough betrothal gifts and came back to marry his sister-in-law.

He agreed immediately. Lin Qiao was a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it.

It was almost dusk and the rain was getting lower. There was no donkey cart at the entrance of the town, so Lin Qiao had to borrow a cart from Liu Xu.

Liu Xu agreed readily, "Okay, but the coachman has nothing to come today. I'll ask Hu Zi to take you back."

Before Lin Qiao could speak, Song Tingfan spoke out, his tone a little quick, "No, I can."

Liu Xu glanced at him, thought of something and smiled, "As long, then you guys are slow." After saying that, he winked at Lin Qiao.

Your uncle is jealous.

Her meaning was very obvious, and it was hard for Lin Qiao to think about it: "..."

...

It was almost dark, and the two of them didn't delay much. They took the carriage and went home. The underground was a little slippery after being washed away by the rain, making it difficult for the carriage to move.

When it arrived in the village, it was getting dark. Before Lin Qiao could reach the gate, she heard Lai Cai and Jinbao digging the door, as if she knew they were back.

Lin Qiao whispered a low voice, signaling them to be quiet and not to wake up the people next door, and then gently patted the yard gate.

Soon, the sound of tiny footsteps came from inside, followed by the old man's hoarse voice, "Who is it?"

"Grandpa, it's us." Song Tingfan replied

When she heard it was her grandson's voice, Song Rong quickly opened the door, "Why are you back now? It's just raining and the road is slippery. Haven't you eaten? I'll let your grandma warm you up."

Before the two of them could say anything, he went into the house and called Song Qinshi.

Not long after the yard gate was closed, an oil lamp was lit in the room.

There was a while since I saw them. Song Qinshi was so happy that she held Lin Qiao's hand and said, "I'll cook for you and sit and wait a moment."

"No, I ate the cake on the road." Lin Qiao grabbed her.

Old Wives Fan also got up, "I'll go get the cakes and they'll be ready soon."

Song Qin's answered repeatedly, then looked at Song Tingfan, unable to hide the joy of seeing his grandson in his eyes, "That's right, you'll go hungry. It's not mid-year, why is Niu Niu back?"

Neither Lin Qiao nor Song Tingfan told the old couple that they had not studied in a private school. If they knew about it, they would be angry again.

My health is not very good, and I am afraid it will be even worse if I get angry.

Song Tingfan asked Zhou Tiedan to ask.

So the people in the village didn't know, but only knew that the Song San family had suffered retribution and were arrested by the government.

Song Tingfan didn't know how to answer, and Lin Qiao naturally lied, "I'm recruiting soldiers, so I'll ask for leave from a private school. If I succeed, I won't study."

Song Tingfan had already told his grandparents about being a soldier. Despite this, Song Qinshi and Song Rong were still stunned for a while.

Song Qinshi glanced at Song Tingfan, wanted to say something but didn't say it out loud. Finally, she said reluctantly: "Why did it be ahead of time? Isn't it October?" After saying that, her eyes turned red.

"It was said that it was the birthday of the empress dowager this year, and it was a big deal, so it was two months ahead of schedule."

Lin Qiao glanced at them, then stood up, and found an excuse to leave a place to speak for them, "I'll go back to my room to add a piece of clothes, it's a bit cold. Fan A-Mi, please help me find clothes."

Old Woman Fan understood what she meant and hurriedly followed her out.

After they left, the kitchen was quiet for a while, Song Qinshi's tears rolled in her eyes, and she forced herself to not fall, "Niu Niu, do you really want to go?"

"It's better to go Niu Niu, there's no way out when staying in the village." Although Song Rong was reluctant to leave, the man thought it was farther than Song Qin's family. Niu Niu had no parents' support and could only rely on himself.

Even if my family is better now, I can’t always rely on Qiaoer.

Song Tingfan felt uncomfortable when he saw Song Qinshi's appearance. He reached out and patted her on the back and comforted her: "My grandma, I'm going. Only when I go can I avoid bullying you."

Song Qinshi, who could not hold back her tears just now, couldn't stop crying when she heard this, and she felt even more guilty and said, "We have dragged you down."

"No, there is no drag. Grandma, don't think so, otherwise I will be angry." Song Tingfan looked a little serious.

Song Qinshi didn't say anything. After a while, she said hoarsely: "What do you think about your sister-in-law?"

I don’t know how many years it will take for Lin Qiao to wait for him. It is indeed unlikely that she will wait for him. After all, she is already sixteen.

"Write when you come back."

Song Tingfan pursed his lips, looked outside the door, lowered his voice and said, "Grandma, you want to watch for me."

It is fake to say that he is not afraid of it, but he is so scared that he doesn't want to go.

He was afraid that his sister-in-law would marry again in the past few years.

But he had no choice, he had no parents, he could only rely on himself.

Song Qin sighed softly, and finally agreed to his grandson "selfishly" and "Okay."

...

The next morning, the village started to beat the big gong several times, and finally everyone in the village went to the entrance of the village.

Zhou Ping raised his hand and told them not to speak. After quiet, he said, "The notice of recruiting soldiers in the government has been issued. Those who are interested in joining the army come to register. Try to finish registering before noon and hand in the booklet in the afternoon."

Many people didn't know how to recruit soldiers in advance, and some people asked in surprise, "Ah, isn't it October?"

"It's been August and I'm leaving on the 15th." Zhou Ping didn't know the specific reason. When the official said it, he didn't ask.

He said again: "Are there anyone you want to go? Raise your hand first and let me see."

Suddenly, everyone looked around and saw who was going back. When they saw Song Tingfan raise his hand, Niu Er teased him, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Be careful to pee your pants in fear."

"Shut up." The old man Niu next to him kicked him angrily.

Zhou Ping didn't expect Song Tingfan to go back. After all, the Song Er family had only this seedling. He wanted to persuade him, but he endured it again. It was hard to say in front of so many people.

"No one except Tingfan?"

After asking several times, no one raised his hand. Now it is not a famine era, and basically the family will not let boys join the army. After all, it is very likely that they will not be able to come back if they go.

Everyone's attention was on Song Tingfan. A woman simply made a frustrated for Song Tingfan, thinking that it was Lin Qiao who disliked her uncle. "Sister-in-law Tingfan, why did you let Tingfan go? The Song Er family is the only seedling. If he has something, the Song Er family will be over?"

"It was not my sister-in-law who asked me to go, but I wanted to go by myself, so it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law." Song Tingfan quickly explained.

Everyone would not believe it? Whoever is full and has nothing to do to seek death?

What else the woman wanted to say, Zhou Ping interrupted, "It's done, if no one goes, everyone goes back to their houses for dinner and work, don't be irritated!"
