Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 474, Retire

Huo Yun and Huo Ying were very depressed. Although they had already released water during the inspection, they were both selected in the end.

The generals were selected among the short ones. The people who lifted the stone piers in front of them lifted the stone piers one by one, but they were all selected. The water in the back was serious, and those who couldn't even move the stone piers were all brushed away. Lost.

"Ma Dan~ I should have known that I would pretend to not be able to move the stone pier. Now it's over, I'm going to be a soldier, and I'll be there for four years."

On the way back to Huojia Town, Huo Ying was unhappy. When he thought that he was going to be a soldier soon, he felt that his whole life was dark.

"Haha~ Huo Ying, I've only been a soldier for four years, and it's still the same after I come back. What are you afraid of? I'm not going to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Someone next to him said with a smile, those who can laugh at this time are obviously not selected.

"That's right, being a soldier is exempting the family from corvee and taxes, and there is still a moon ring of one tael of silver every month. What a wonderful thing."

Someone beside him also said gloatingly.

"Go~go, I feel annoyed seeing all of you smiling."

Huo Ying waved his hands again and again, and those who were not selected were all smiling, while those who were selected had mournful faces, looking listless.

"Haha~"

Everyone couldn't help laughing again.

"Huo Ying don't pay attention to them, just serve as a soldier, it's nothing."

Huo Yun patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

When I went there, there were more than a hundred people together. When I came back, they were obviously divided into two teams. One team was full of smiles, and the other was mournful, comforting each other.

"That's right, now that the military system has been changed, maybe we will be able to make a fortune in the future."

Someone was selected, and he nodded and said.

"Haha, you are so prosperous, you are so prosperous, we will honestly farm at home, and go to work in the factory here in the capital when we have time, and just live a small life."

"That's right, you have made great achievements, but you must remember to return home in good clothes. Then we will build ancestral halls and monuments for you to write biographies."

"Haha~"

When the people who were not selected heard it, they immediately became sneering and sarcastic. They want to be a soldier and want to make a fortune. It's just a dream.

"Say it again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"

At this time, Huo Xiong said fiercely that he was also selected, and he was extremely upset at this moment, and was just about to find someone to vent his anger on.

"Go, go~"

Immediately, all those people shut their mouths immediately, Huo Xiong is not easy to mess with, the casserole-sized fists hit him to ensure that you will cry and cry.

Huo Yun returned to his home with a gloomy, dejected, and gloomy mood.

"How about it?"

Huo Yun's father, Huo Dashan, asked eagerly when he saw Huo Yun coming back.

"I was selected, and I will go to the county to gather here the day after tomorrow~"

Huo Yun said helplessly.

"Still selected?"

"Didn't I tell you that you have to pretend to be healthy during the physical examination?"

"Why don't you listen to me, is it so easy to be a soldier?"

"Maybe once you go, you will never come back."

As soon as Huo Dashan heard it, he hated iron for being weak and said.

Huo Dashan is his son, and it is hard to bring him up. He has already talked about marriage with him, and he is about to start a family and start a business, and he will soon be able to embrace his grandson.

It's all right now, I'm going to be a soldier. Everyone knows that there is no good end to being a soldier. A dilapidated military household is synonymous with the poorest. The key point is that it may affect future generations.

"I've already pretended, but everyone is pretending the same~"

Huo Yun said helplessly.

"Ah~"

After hearing this, Huo Dashan sighed helplessly.

"Are you going the day after tomorrow?"

At this time, Huo Yun's mother, Li Shi, also came out, with tears in her eyes. This son, who had been raised so hard, was going to serve in the army. It took him four years to go, and he didn't know what would happen after he went. How about it.

Thinking about the appearance of those military households, tears flowed out immediately.

"My son~"

"Why are you so miserable~"

Mrs. Li burst into tears, this is better than being a soldier.

"Mom, isn't it just going to be a soldier, and I'll be back in four years."

Huo Yun was still very sensible, seeing his mother Li crying, he quickly comforted her.

"If you cry, you know how to cry. What's the use of crying?"

Huo Dashan was already annoying, but when he heard his own woman crying, it was even more annoying, so he quickly reprimanded him, while Huo Yun's younger brothers and sisters next to him were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Farmers, if the head of the family is in a bad mood, beating his wife and children is a common occurrence.

"Ah~"

After training Mrs. Li, Huo Dashan thought about it and couldn't help sighing. His family was poor, and he had just told Huo Yun about his marriage, and all the money was used up. Otherwise, he could try to give some money to the official. Sir, let's see if we can spare some time.

"Where is Brother Huo at home?"

At this time, a voice sounded at the gate of the yard.

"Oh, Matchmaker Zhang~ Please come in, please come in."

When everyone heard the voice, they looked over quickly, and it was Matchmaker Zhang who was Huo Yun's matchmaker. They saw Matchmaker Zhang was carrying something in her hand, and when Huo Dashan saw Matchmaker Zhang, he rushed to welcome her in enthusiastically.

"Brother Huo, I came here today because I have something to talk to you about."

After matchmaker Zhang came in, she looked a little embarrassed.

"I was trying to talk to you too."

Huo Dashan also said with a smile, and then flirted with Li Shi, Li Shi understood, and hurried into the house to pour water, and at the same time took out the only money left at home.

In fact, Huo Dashan's idea is very simple, that is, before Huo Yun goes, he has two days to quickly arrange the marriage, make cooked rice with uncooked rice, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to marry a wife after becoming a member of the Huo family.

"Brother Huo, I came here this time, and I was actually entrusted by the Wei family. The Wei family felt that the marriage with Huo Yun was still not good, so they entrusted me to come here and cancel the marriage. It’s a little bit of meaning from my family, and on the other hand, this is the gift money you gave, and it will be refunded to you.”

Matchmaker Zhang looked at Huo Dashan and said bravely.

"what?"

"Retire?"

When Huo Dashan heard this, he immediately became angry, and he stood up angrily.

"Brother Huo, don't get excited, don't get excited~"

"Isn't this why Huo Yun of your family is going to be a soldier? You also know that this soldier is disgusted by everyone. Whoever's girl is willing to marry. If your family Huo Yun doesn't go to be a soldier, this marriage will come true." gone."

Matchmaker Zhang said helplessly.

Now the whole Huojia Town has spread, and the 20 people who are going to serve as soldiers have also become celebrities in Huojia Town. When the Wei family heard that Huo Yun was going to serve as a soldier, they quickly found Matchmaker Zhang. Let her reject the marriage.

"This is a good deal, the gift money has been collected, how can you just refund it?"

Huo Dashan blushed anxiously, and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, originally this was a good thing to say."

Matchmaker Zhang nodded again and again, and then said: "But this Huo Yun is going to be a soldier, and he will go for four years. No one knows what will happen. The Wei family is worried that their girl will be widowed after she gets married. , which is also understandable."

"What is widowed? I have been a soldier for a few years. I came back after serving in the military. I didn't go to the Hall of Yama. Moreover, our family Huo Yun went to serve as a soldier. The family can still be exempted from tax and corvee, and there is still a tael of silver every month." the ringing of the moon."

Huo Dashan said anxiously, he was really in a hurry, if the agreed marriage turned out to be bad, how could Huo Yun marry a wife, four years, after four years, Huo Yun will be twenty-two, when the time comes It is difficult to marry a wife.

What's more, who knows what will happen if he goes to serve as a soldier.

If they get married now, while there is still time, they might be able to leave a seed or something, which is not considered to be a broken seedling.

"I know, I know, everyone knows~"

"I can't do anything about it. The Wei family is determined to quit. What can I do?"

Matchmaker Zhang said helplessly.

"Father, if you retire, you will retire. It's no big deal. It's not like I won't be able to marry a wife~"

Huo Yun was also very annoyed at this time, this is an absolutely embarrassing thing, the whole Huo family will lose face, what the Wei family did is too dishonest.

This is a good marriage, just quit as soon as you say it.

Huo Yun is young and energetic, and he is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. If they want to retire, then they should retire. Will he not be able to marry a wife?

"Crack~"

"What do you know~"

Huo Dashan slapped Huo Yun hard, then smiled and said to Matchmaker Zhang: "Matchmaker Zhang, please go and talk to Wei's family again, I can add a little more to this gift money."

"Brother Huo, it's not a matter of gift money or not. If your family Huo Yun doesn't join the army, this marriage will be settled."

"This child is going to be a soldier soon, no matter how much gift money you give, no one will marry him."

Matchmaker Zhang shook her head helplessly, then put down the things in her hands and said, "Brother Huo, I'm leaving first. I really can't help you with this matter, so I'll pass on the words to you."

After finishing speaking, Matchmaker Zhang also hurried away. This time, no matter whether the other party is a wealthy family or a local ruffian, Matchmaker Zhang is a popular person, and no one will offend.

But when she came to withdraw from the marriage, to be honest, she really didn't dare to come to the door. It was okay if she met someone who was easy to talk to, but if she didn't, she would be scolded bloody.

Having been a matchmaker all her life, what she fears the most is to withdraw from the engagement.

"Matchmaker Zhang~Matchmaker Zhang~"

Huo Dashan hurriedly shouted to stop, but Matchmaker Zhang didn't listen at all, oily soles of her feet disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Ah~"

Huo Dashan looked at the things on the table, and then at the few taels of silver, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, I will definitely succeed~"

Huo Yun covered his burning face, and said fiercely, he swears, he will definitely rise to the top, and when the time comes, he will return to his homeland and make the Wei family regret it.
