Parents are busy farming

Then, he turned to Luo Xu and comforted him: "Uncle Luo, please don't take it personally. My dad is so annoying. Let's leave quickly! The village chief may still be waiting for us!"

Luo Xu nodded in agreement, and then stepped forward.

Old Man Fang touched his nose, and after a moment of silence, he slowly walked to the end of the line.

Compared with when he stepped out of Fang's house just now, his steps seemed particularly vigorous at this moment.

It turns out that when you find that others are not as good as yourself, you will feel an indescribable sense of superiority in your heart.

"Well! Although the old woman has a bit of a bad temper, she doesn't need to worry about the trivial matters at home. She just needs to concentrate on her work. Hehe!"

Just as old man Fang was thinking secretly, Luo Yu had arrived at the door of his house.

Before stepping into the courtyard, the mother who was waiting here came forward with tears in her eyes and sobbed: "Son! What happened to you? How could you leave me without a sound! Your father is already gone. When the war breaks out, my mother will only be able to rely on you in the future. Are you going to be disobedient and unfilial? Your actions are like using a knife to cut out my mother's heart! "

However, Luo Yu is now extremely tired of his mother's words.

He couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mom, please stop it! Why can't you learn from my aunt and think more about your children in everything instead of relying on them blindly. How did you live without me in the past?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw her mother covering her chest tightly with both hands, with a look of grief and sorrow on her face. Her eyes were full of unacceptable and unbelievable, just like that. Staring at the son in front of him.

Just listen to her say: "How can you say such a thing? I am your biological mother! Did I go through all the hard work to raise you just to be treated like this?"

Luo Yu was not moved by his mother's words, but continued: "Since I was sensible, you have been talking about it every day. You would say it when my father was alive, and you still did it when my father went to the frontier to fight. You can Do you know why my father stepped forward without hesitation when he learned that the imperial court needed one person from each family to go out?"

Hearing this, my mother snorted and replied: "Humph, it's not because your father is heartless and doesn't even have mother and son in his heart!"

However, Luo Yu shook his head and retorted: "No, the reason why my father did this is not only to protect the entire Fang family, but more importantly, because he finally doesn't have to face you anymore."

When his mother heard this, her face instantly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly and she asked, "What did you say? Say it again!"

However, Luo Yu showed no fear and said firmly: "Listen carefully, the moment my father walked out of the Fang family door resolutely, I clearly felt that he seemed to have lifted a heavy burden off his shoulders. , I feel much more relaxed. At this moment, I feel the same as my father. If it weren’t for being too young and not qualified enough, I would have volunteered to join the fight without hesitation.”

After saying this, Luo Yu ignored his mother, took her hand and walked quickly into the house, then slammed the door hard.

His mother, who was being pulled by him, was crying and kept complaining: "You are such a shameless guy, you actually said such a thing! Your father has become like this, and you still imitate him?" Look, is this all my fault? Why can't you two understand my good intentions? You are so heartless!"

Faced with his mother's scolding and crying, Luo Yu did not open his mouth to argue, but just walked silently towards his room.

When he was about to close the door, he caught a glimpse of the worried look in the eyes of the aunt standing aside, and the confused look of the grandma in the main room.

Speaking of the Fang family, since they learned that the village was going to rob the caravan, there was an uproar within the Fang family.

As the elder in the family, the old lady of the Fang family was the first to stand up and express strong opposition.

However, she knew clearly that if her family lived in the village but did not keep pace with other villagers, they would be ostracized and isolated.

Although she was very entangled in her heart, for the sake of family peace, the old lady of the Fang family finally decided to let her sons participate in this operation. None of the grandchildren are allowed to go.

This way, at least on the surface, they can align themselves with the villagers.

Another important reason why she did this was that she hoped that the brothers could take care of and support each other.

When her sons returned, Mrs. Fang did not see Fang You, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and sadness in her heart.

However, the perseverance she has developed over the years prevented her from showing this emotion externally, and she still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

However, when she heard from her sons that the fourth child was safe and sound, and that they had the opportunity to follow the caravan to other counties to work and earn money to buy food, she felt a little relieved.

The Fang family has always had many men. Although sufficient male labor means more productivity, it also means that the family consumes huge food rations.

In the past few years, the whole family has worked together and worked hard to carefully manage their few acres of thin farmland.

In addition, I occasionally do some small business to support my family. Although I am not rich, I can still live a comfortable life.

But since the drought started this year, the family's financial situation has gone from bad to worse.

To make matters worse, the imperial court was recruiting troops, and the crops in the fields had been harvested for two consecutive seasons, and heavy taxes had to be paid.

As a result, the family's savings will naturally become less and less. If they no longer find a way to make a living, the whole family may be forced to live in another country.

At this time, Fang Qian couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what should we do next? Just now my fourth brother, Uncle Toro, sent a message saying that all the men in our family should go to the front line to fight!"

Old Mrs. Fang remained silent and just turned her attention to her daughters-in-law.

At this time, Fang Qian's wife was the first to speak: "Mom, the remaining men in our room are all young children...so this time we can only let Fang Qian go alone. ”

Dafang now has two sons, but they are both less than ten years old.

Since the Fang family wanted to arrange marriage for the next few, the eldest family already had two sons, so they waited for several years to have the third and fourth sons.

But when the army was drafted, she personally pushed her two eldest sons out. So they only have two small ones left in this room.
