Chapter 238 Recruitment is ahead of schedule

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she sat next to the floor mat and continued, "I know I've taken care of it a little bit, but I'm doing it for your own good. I think I can help take care of the children while I'm still young. You can relax at that time."

"I didn't ask you to get married with anyone, my grandma and I want to find a marriage you like."

"On weekdays, you don't like to go out to play with Tiedan and the others, and you just follow me all day long. If you can't contact any young girls, you just want to pay attention to it."

He still didn't say anything, she asked, "Is it a girl who is Xinyi? If you have it, tell me that the family will definitely agree, and will not say they disagree."

The boy's hands tightened slightly in the quilt. He didn't pay attention, he had already thought about it.

But he dared not say it.

"Sister-in-law, can you spend another two years?"

It will be enough in two years.

Lin Qiao didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was upset about him, so she responded, "Okay, I won't force you no matter in two years or a few years, as long as you are happy."

She hoped that his joy was true, but it was definitely not based on her...

...

Since the two of them talked about each other that day, Lin Qiao has never mentioned anything about seeing Song Tingfan again.

The hot night ushered in the first heavy rain in the hot summer, and it hit the building with strong force, as if a hole would come out in the next moment.

Lin Qiao woke up from her sleep and vaguely saw a black shadow beside the window. She was startled and blurted out, "Who?"

"Sister-in-law is me." Song Tingfan got up and closed the window after hearing the rain.

Lin Qiao came back to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, her first reaction in her mind was the villain.

She is still a little scared when she thinks of the villain.

“It’s raining heavily?”

"Yes." Song Tingfan returned to his bed and turned his head to look at the obstructed curtain, "Sister-in-law, are you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao turned her head and looked at the curtain, "Are you afraid?"

“Some.”

"That curtain is pulled open."

Lin Qiao raised her hand and pulled the curtain open. She vaguely saw the black shadow on the bed not far away, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Okay." The joy in the boy's voice was hidden in the sound of heavy rain.

After a while, the room returned to peace and Lin Qiao fell asleep again.

It was still turbulent outside the house, but the sky gradually became clear.

The shops on both sides of the street were gradually half opening the door. Old women, men, women and others took brooms to sweep the rainwater accumulated at the door.

Lin Qiao was heading down the attic. At this time, a tall figure at the door swept the floor with a broom.

"When did you get up, uncle?"

"Just get up." Song Tingfan turned his head and saw her wearing a goose yellow dress. He couldn't help but take a look.

Lin Qiao noticed his gaze. She looked down and laughed and joked, "Isn't it good?"

It is inconvenient to work on skirts and she doesn't wear them often, but she found them to wear them when she didn't do the clothes she washed yesterday.

This afternoon, I shouldn't be very busy.

"It looks good, my sister-in-law looks the best in goose yellow." Song Tingfan shyly stuttered his head.

"That's it, I'll wear it every day from now on." Lin Qiao said this and went to wash up, then had a simple breakfast.

Another day of work started.

It rained today, and the business was not very good, but fortunately, I didn’t get much colder.

The rain at the door swept and accumulated, and it swept and washed again.

So she turned around and washed a bowl. Water accumulated at the door. She swept the door with a broom. Suddenly, two men ran in hurriedly. Even though she had an umbrella, she was wet with her clothes.

The tall man said to Lin Qiao: "Boss, I want two bowls of hot noodles."

"Okay." Lin Qiao put the broom at the door, washed her hands, grabbed two handfuls of noodles and threw them into the soup to cook.

At the same time, Song Tingfan prepared the seasonings.

"How long will it take for the rain to fall? If this continues, I don't know when it will be notified. I will give a temporary order to make us suffer."

"Oh, we do the chores."

"That's not. The monkey cursed the boss, and the boss asked him to notify the county town. If we didn't curse, we were sent to the town and village."

"I really don't want to do it anymore. I'm just thinking about not going to the border in the middle of this month. The border has been stable over the years, and I won't be able to fight if I go there, and I still have money to use."

Although their voices were small, Lin Qiao and Song Tingfan both heard it.

Recruiting soldiers in advance?

Lin Qiao held her face to the table and asked with a smile, "Are you two officials?"

The tall man thought she wanted to flatter her and held her airs, "What's the matter?"

"No, I thought if the official noodles would be given to you, I would have to give you some food. I would have worked hard to protect us ordinary people on weekdays." Lin Qiao said kind words.

The two officials who "run errands" enjoyed this and their expressions calmed down a little. The short man sucked the chopsticks and picked the noodles, "I'll thank you."

Lin Qiao went to serve them pickles again and tentatively said, "Do you two men want to recruit soldiers?"

"yes."

"Isn't it October?"

"The birthday of the Queen Mother of October was two months ahead of schedule. This matter was too hasty. We asked that the soldiers be recruited on August 15th. If it is raining, we will notify you."

It's the third day of the August 2018, so wouldn't it be only twelve days? Lin Qiao subconsciously glanced at Song Tingfan, and then asked, "Are you still registering in the village?"

"Well, he's going? It should be fine."

The tall official official glanced at Song Tingfan and said, "Then you have to hurry up, you will have to hand over the registration book tomorrow afternoon, and you will also have to check your health later."

Checking your body is just to see if you have any disability.

If the number of recruits exceeds the number of soldiers, they will be screened from the perspective of height and physical fitness.

"Okay, thank you, lord." Lin Qiao thanked.

After a quarter or two, the official officer left. Lin Qiao looked at the boy who didn't say anything, and couldn't guess whether he wanted to go, "Does his uncle still want to go?"

Song Tingfan didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he nodded, "Go."

"If you go, we will go back to the village if the rain is a little lighter in the afternoon."

Lin Qiao cleaned up the dishes on the table, went to the attic to clean up the things. After a while, Song Tingfan also came up.

She didn't look back, "Uncle, I'll collect everything. We won't go to town these days."

I thought that the whole family would stay at home in a few days.

Song Tingfan looked at her back, and his eyes flashed with reluctance, "Sister-in-law."

"Um?"

He shouted without saying anything, Lin Qiao turned her head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Song Tingfan secretly pinched the corner of his clothes and said nervously: "Do you want me to go?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao did not answer him immediately. She thought about it carefully, "I don't want to."

"But my uncle has his own way to go, and he can't always let you be by my side."

It’s not a lie to me. She is really reluctant to leave, after all, people have more or less emotional relationships after getting along for a long time.

Song Tingfan, who was back, felt a little depressed. He earnestly promised, "Sister-in-law, I will come back."
