Chapter 243
C243 – Recruitment
After the county magistrate left, their lives returned to tranquility, and the chickens on the mountain grew back.
“Recruitment?” That day, when Lin Yuxing and his husband came back from the town, they heard the discussions of the villagers.
Wu Zheng explained, “Yu, don’t you know that if there is a war, the imperial government will recruit troops?” Even though their village was very remote, it wasn’t far from a place that was filled with barbarian.
“War?” Lin Yuxing was a little stunned. He thought that life would go on like this, but he never thought that it would turn out like this.
“Yes, if it is a peaceful times conscription, then the family can offer a few taels of silver in lieu of military service. In the event of a war, every family must produce a man.” Wu Zheng’s face was filled with a bitter expression. Right now, he was not pregnant yet, but the person in charge was actually going to be a soldier.
Lin Yuxing frowned, “Did you do military service according to the household registration?” His family only had one master, and that was to say, they wanted to go to heaven and fight on the battlefield? No matter what, he felt helpless.
It wasn’t that he, Lin Yuxing, was afraid of parting ways, but with this kind of method, he was still somewhat not used to it.
Once a military doctor and ruler after the apocalypse, he naturally knew how terrifying war was. Especially in an era like this, where cold weapons were extremely common, it was very easy for them to not be able to return.
Seeing that Yu still did not know anything, Wu Zheng could not help but sigh at his magnanimity, “Yes, this is a large family with no branch families’ benefits. After all, there are a lot of men.
In fact, many of the old people in the village had already gotten used to it. Previously, when they were recruiting, it was already thirty years ago.
“What if there are no men in the house?” Lin Yuxing frowned, the power of the imperial government was something that commoners like him could not change.
“If there’s no brat in this family, then we can be immune to paying five taels of silver.” Wu Zheng was a little baffled by Yu’s words, “But which family doesn’t have any kids? However, there is a limit to your age. No men over the age of fourteen, and no boys under the age of thirteen. “
If older or younger men were to go to the battlefield, they would not be able to carry their weapons, much less waste the food of the imperial government.
This strong and young man was the heart of his Ah Yao. If he was lucky, he could come back, but if he was unlucky, he would never come back.
Lin Yuxing pursed his lips and did not say anything. Previously, he had planned to use his network of contacts to find out more specific information, but now it seemed that this matter wasn’t as simple as he thought.
Battlefield? War? He had thought that the distance between them was very great, so why did he suddenly stop? They had only been married for a year.
“Yu, I came here this time to beg for your help.” Wu Zheng’s face was filled with a bitter expression. The younger brother had just gotten married, so they naturally could not allow him to go to the battlefield.
Lin Yuxing came back to reality after hearing his words, “What?” In fact, his heart was somewhat confused as well.
“Is there any way to get me pregnant? “I know this is difficult for you, but it’s a mandatory method. Since the boss wants to leave, you should at least let the boss have his way, right?” Wu Zheng slowly said, his eyes filled with hope.
Lin Yuxing shook his head, “Let me check your pulse to see if there are any other problems with your body.” According to his deductions, this person should be pregnant. After all, he had caught up with them on aspects of life.
Without saying a word, Wu Zheng extended his hand out, and then said with a smile: “Don’t get pregnant, it’s best if we do not have the same bed for this period of time.” If his diagnosis was correct, the guy in front of him was already pregnant for more than a month. He was probably too busy to notice his abnormality.
After Wu Zheng heard what the Yu said, he asked fearfully, “Yu, could it be that there is something wrong with my body?” How could he face being in charge like this?
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Your body is very healthy. There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re pregnant.” Lin Yuxing naturally knew how much importance the person in front of him placed on his children, thus he did not try to solve the riddle and directly told him the truth.
After Wu Zheng heard his words, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, “Yu, you aren’t trying to comfort me right?” It was good news for him that he was pregnant.
“How could I possibly console you with something like this? But you still have to be careful not to get too tired, and also need to follow your nutrition.” Lin Yuxing also had a faint smile in his eyes, he was truly happy for his friend.
So, Wu Zheng left with a faint smile on his face, while Lin Yuxing just stared at the sky in a daze.
When they returned from the town, Xiang Tian had gone to village head’s home to discuss with him about buying fish. Now, it seemed that all their plans had been ruined.
“Yu.” When Xiang Tian saw the expression on his husband’s face, his heart ached and he hastily broke the disharmonious atmosphere.
Lin Yuxing immediately snapped back to reality, “Ah Tian, you’re back?” His family was not worried, this dad was at least forty years old, and as for the little brat, could it be that they want him as well? That was impossible.
Xiang Tian came to Yu’s side and pulled the person up, “You know about it?” Perhaps in the past, he would have looked forward to stepping on the stage to kill his enemies, but after getting married, he no longer had this hot-blooded desire.
“Yes, sister-in-law came over.” Lin Yuxing’s expression was still the same as usual, as if the matter of recruiting soldiers had no effect on him.
“Three years.” He looked towards the sky and slowly said, “If I don’t return after three years, then you should just remarry.”
His words caused Lin Yuxing to be dumbstruck, “What are you talking about?” He didn’t even know what Xiang Tian was thinking. He actually wanted him to remarry?
“I’m joking.” It was rare for Xiang Tian to see his husband show such an expression, so he smiled, “How could I bear to part with you?”
Lin Yuxing rolled his eyes rudely, “You’re not allowed to speak nonsense like this in the future.”
The two of them remained silent. Compared to the tranquility of this house, the other families in the village all began to cry, especially Zhang Xiuyun. It was as if someone from his family had died.
“Head, once you go to the battlefield, what will our family do?” Zhang Xiuyun roared, he knew that he had no way to rebel against the imperial government.
Xiang Qihan’s face also turned gloomy. All these commoners only wanted to live a normal life, they never expected that the war would break out, and that all of them had to report this after half a month.
“Brother Yun, I can only rely on you at home.” Xiang Qihan looked at the man in front of him and said. In fact, if husband was the only one left in the house, it would be very hard to hold on.
Zhang Xiuyun hugged laddie and cried non-stop, “Head, can’t I use silver instead?” Even if all the silver in the family had been paid by the officials, they still did not want their boss to go to the battlefield.
He did not know what kind of place the battlefield was, but he was certain of one thing. Many of the men who entered the battlefield have never returned.
“If it were possible, would there still be so many people crying?” Xiang Qihan said with a slightly hoarse voice. He naturally knew why the husband was feeling so sad, “Three years later, we can return. It will be over very quickly.”
“If it really doesn’t work, you just have to submit to nanna and the others and let them take care of you two.” He also knew the character of the husband. It would probably be very difficult for him to do this.
Zhang Xiuyun’s eyes were red, originally, it was a great scene in the house, but in the end, something unexpected happened. If there were no branch families, and if Big Bro and the rest were here, then it would not be the boss’s business.
“Head, why don’t we find big brother and bring him back? At that time, you don’t need to go …” Before Zhang Xiuyun could finish his words, he was interrupted.
Xiang Qihan said coldly, “We don’t even know where Big Brother and the others went. We might even see him during his military service.” Compared to his elder sister-in-law, husband was still much better. At least there were fields and everything was just a little tired.
He still hadn’t died yet, but this man looked as if he was in mourning, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing his attitude, Zhang Xiuyun immediately asked sharply, “What is it? Are you not satisfied with me? “For whom?”
Xiang Qihan was already very agitated in his heart. Seeing his husband making trouble for him without any reason, he decided to turn around and leave to take a breather. He didn’t want himself to do anything irrational.
Zhang Xiuyun’s lips moved as though he wanted to curse something, but he knew that this wouldn’t change anything, so he could only cry softly.
Early morning of the second day, Lin Yuxing and his husband arrived at the Lin Village. From the village people’s faces, it could be seen that they were not in a good mood, and even had a face full of worry.
“Tian, Yu.” Eldest Lin immediately came out to welcome his brother and son-in-law.
Their family did not meet the requirements to enlist their troops, so they did not need to go onto the battlefield. However, they all knew that this Tian was unavoidable.
Lin Yuxing had a faint smile on his face, “dad, this is the pastry that you brought from the town yesterday, try it.”
Eldest Lin looked at his brother’s expression, he could not figure out what he was thinking, he knew that the husband was about to enter the battlefield, but he was still in the mood, what was going on?
“Tian, follow dad to the fields.” Eldest Lin felt that it would be better to let the husband resolve this matter, in case something unforeseen occurred.
After Xiang Tian put away the ox-cart, he and dad went to the fields. He knew that the father wanted to talk to him about something, or else he wouldn’t have called him out alone.
“Tian, this military service is unavoidable. dad isn’t asking for anything, I just hope that you can return safely. You don’t have to worry about the family matters, dad will take care of it for you.” Eldest Lin said seriously, he also understood that this man who had lost his man, would be easily bullied by others, but with him here, Yu would definitely not be harmed at all.
Xiang Tian thought for a while and said, “dad, if I really can’t come back, then let Yu find his own happiness.” At this point in time, he was glad that they did not have children. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Yu to bring their children.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely return safely! ” Eldest Lin saw that the son-in-law had actually said such depressing words, and was extremely unhappy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He did not know what war looked like, but it should be extremely cruel. Even if he had martial skills, he did not know about the others, so he could only prepare for the worst.
“Tian, it’s not like you don’t know Yu’s personality, so you have to return safely!” Seeing that he did not make a sound, Eldest Lin once again said seriously.
“I will, dad.” He promised to the heavens that he would not let himself die. His family still had his Yu waiting for him, and his family waiting for him.
At the same time, Lin Yuxing also received advice from his own Ah Yao, which made him open his mind a little, “Ah Yao, I am very open-minded, but I will probably be very busy during this half a month, and won’t have the time to visit you two.”
The moment he found out that he was going to perform military service, Lin Yuxing planned to follow him to the battlefield. They didn’t allow this bro to go, but they didn’t say they wouldn’t allow military doctors, right? Originally, he did not want to reveal his medical skills, but his plans were unable to keep up with the changes.
In his previous life, he had been very decisive. However, in this life, he had to grasp at his own blissful life.
After all, these properties were all personal belongings, and were not even as important as a manager’s. could take care of all the “Guest Gathering House”, but he did not need to worry about the fast food restaurants. With Ah ge and the rest watching over them, as for the chicken houses and fruit trees, Xiang Yi would be able to take care of them.
Moreover, he still had the fifty thousand silver that Xiang Yi had given him. If there was anything else, he could help out in the future, and as for the remaining silver, he would give it all to father.
“Ah Yao, here is a thousand taels of silver. Take it.” Just as Soong Qinghee was chattering nonstop, his brother suddenly took out a thousand silver, which shocked him a little.
“Yu, what are you doing?” Soong Qinghee naturally knew that his brother had silver, but he couldn’t give it to them.
Lin Yuxing laughed and said, “We have earned a lot of money, so let’s treat this as a gift to the Ah Yao.” If something were to happen in the village, they could defend themselves, right?
Soong Qinghee rejected it anxiously, “No, we can’t take this silver, keep it, give it to me as my grandson!” What was going on with this brother of his? To actually give money to him for no reason gave him an ominous feeling.
