Daan raised his head and looked at Xiaoan.

"Xiao An, our parents gave birth to three siblings. I am here now and have already arrived in the capital." Da An continued.

"If I don't make some achievements, I really won't have the face to go back."

"At home, fortunately, my sister is here to take care of my parents, so we can rest assured."

"People say that raising children will protect you from old age. If our two brothers are no longer with our parents, and everything depends on my sister, it really doesn't make sense,"

"So I suggest that you don't stray too far from home. Going to the battlefield for an expedition is certainly the work of an iron-blooded man, but we still have parents!" Da'an said.

Xiao An frowned, obviously not fully agreeing with Da An's words.

Da'an continued: "I know that my suggestion is a bit selfish for you."

"But Xiao An, my brother is really helpless right now. I have just started my official career. Even the big house we live in now was bought for me by my sister. I am so ashamed."

"This trip is also because your sister-in-law is pregnant. Mom was worried, so she came all the way here to help take care of her."

"Now I just want to work well and make a name for myself. When one day I can establish myself in this capital with my own ability, then I will be able to take care of my parents!" Da'an said.

Xiao An looked at Da An. After a while, Xiao An smiled bitterly: "Brother, I have been your and sister's follower since I was a child."

"Whatever you say to your sister, I will listen to."

"I understand what you mean about this matter, that is, you want to get ahead in the capital, so you can't stay in your hometown to take care of your parents right now."

"So, you want me to give up my plan to go to the battlefield, disarm and return home to accompany my parents, and fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents on your behalf, right?" Xiao An asked.

Da'an nodded, "That's what I mean. On the one hand, it's out of my selfishness. Secondly, I don't want you to go to the battlefield."

"Why?" Xiao An asked.

Da'an said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. Every time we go to war, we will pass by the King of Hell. Our brother-in-law is the best example."

"You have seen how wealthy our family is, but every time my brother-in-law goes to war, my sister is always worried."

"As for military generals in our family, my brother-in-law has reached the pinnacle and has made outstanding contributions to Daqi,"

"As for you, Xiao An, I just want you to stay at home, stay with your parents, and live a carefree life."

"My brother-in-law has taken care of the martial arts part, and I'll take the literary part."

"You can make money by doing business, and with my sister here, as the youngest brother, Xiao An, you don't have to work so hard!" Da'an said word by word.

Xiao An remained silent and looked at Da An steadily.

Daan was not in a hurry, he put his hand on Xiaoan's shoulder and waited patiently for Xiaoan's decision.

As for Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, they both kept silent in a tacit understanding.

After a while, Xiao An said: "Brother, I understand. I know that you still treat me as a child and want to protect me, just like you did when you were a child."

"But brother, have you ever thought that now that I have grown up, I have my own ideas and my own plans for my life."

"Whether this plan is good or bad, hard or easy, it is my plan. I want to make the arrangements myself, okay?" Xiao An asked.

Daan looked at Xiaoan in surprise, as if he didn't recognize his younger brother.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing finally spoke up.

"Da'an, we all understand your painstaking care of your brother, and we all understand your overwhelming filial piety towards your parents," she said.

"Your consideration is advisable from your point of view, but from Xiao An's point of view, it is a bit unfair to him." She added.

When her eyes fell on Xiao An, Yang Ruoqing's eyes showed motherly love, and even more so, the eldest sister's tolerance and comfort.

"Xiao An has grown up and is a man. He has his own plans for how he should live his life. As brothers and sisters, we cannot impose our own thoughts on him."

"Besides, even if he stays in the army, it doesn't conflict with whether he is a filial son or not." She added.

"Besides, don't underestimate our parents. In their hearts, they only hope that our three siblings can live the life they want and live the way they like."

"Our father and mother have always been different from other parents. We understand the righteousness and can do many things for the sake of our children that other parents cannot do."

"Think about it carefully. If they hadn't been different from other parents in Lao Yang's family, would I have been able to do business and show my face?"

"Da'an, you are not the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and you are not eligible for elementary education. And Xiaoan, you will probably be sent to learn a trade to supplement the family income!"

"But our parents just don't take the ordinary path. We would rather suffer and be tired ourselves than let our three siblings do what we like."

"So, this time, although my mother misses Xiao An and doesn't want him to go to the battlefield, it doesn't mean that my mother must tie Xiao An back to Changping Village."

"Da'an and I are now walking on the path of our own choosing, and now we are Xiao An. My parents definitely hope that Xiao An can make his own choices, so I have gathered everyone together tonight in the hope that we can choose a strategy that has the best of both worlds."

"It not only allows Xiao An to stay in the military and do what he wants to do, but also allows our parents not to worry too much about Xiao An!"

Yang Ruoqing's words made both Daan and Xiaoan fall silent. Their faces were filled with shame.

Yang Ruoqing cast her gaze on Luo Fengtang, "Tangyaozi, please say a few words and express your opinion."

Luo Fengtang raised his eyes, his eyes full of thoughts. Apparently, when brothers Da'an and Xiaoan were discussing this issue intensely, Luo Fengtang, as the brother-in-law, had been deep in thought.

"I do have a solution that has both ends, but I don't know if Xiao An is willing to accept it," he said.

"Whether he wants to accept it or not, let's talk about it first." Yang Ruoqing said quickly.

Luo Fengtang pondered for a moment and said, "How about I arrange for Xiao An to go to the military headquarters in Qing'an County?"

"The Military Department of Qing'an County?" Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes curiously, "What does it mainly do?"

Beside them, Da'an and Xiao'an also stretched their necks and looked at Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang said: "The main job is to manage military status, military selection, weapons, military orders, etc."

"Moreover, the heavy responsibility of defending the city also falls on the Ministry of War. If it weren't for the fact that Qing'an County is a small inland county and is relatively stable,"

"If it is a border city, then the officers and soldiers guarding the city will go to the battlefield almost every day. But even in Qing'an County, although there will be no wars, there will always be some sudden troubles."
