Chapter 215 Unbearable Brotherly Love
Xinbao backed away, looked at him for a while, stretched out his arms, hugged his neck, and said in a choked voice, "Xinbao feels bad."
Brother Tang smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter?"
"I miss big brother," she pursed her mouth, "I'm thinking about it now, I can't sleep because of it."
Brother Tang laughed out loud at this little act of wronging Bala.
He kissed his younger sister, hugged her and stood up: "Then elder brother, can you put Xinbao to sleep?"
He put his sister on the bed: "Sleep quickly, brother is with you."
Xinbao acted like a baby: "Xinbao can't bear to part with big brother, and can't bear to sleep."
Brother Tang smiled and said, "Brother, let's sleep with Xinbao."
He took his sister's hand, folded his clothes and lay down beside her, and patted gently: "Sleep, close your eyes."
Xinbao obediently closed her eyes.
After taking a few shots, she fell asleep. Mrs. Lin said in a low voice, "Oh? I don't want my brother, I don't want to sleep, I just want to snore."
Poof!
Brother Tang almost vomited, but tried not to laugh, got out of bed while taking a breath, and tucked the quilt for his sister.
He sat down on the stool again.
Tang Qingshan and Mrs. Lin also stayed up, but they didn't speak. The three of them sat in the dark for a while. Mrs. Lin sighed, stood up and went to sleep.
Brother Tang also got on the couch.
Sometimes he feels that being born in this family is really a very lucky thing.
Although they are poor and unlucky, he really has the best parents.
Just like this kind of thing, such a big thing, his father confirmed that he was thinking carefully and comprehensively enough, so he would not stop him and allow him to work hard according to his own ideas.
Like his mother, although she obviously feels uncomfortable and reluctant, she will never beg him not to go because of this.
Even if it's dangerous, even if they're terribly worried.
Really enlightened and transparent.
He felt a little emotional.
Then I heard rustling, Brother Tang crawled over from the bed like a thief, lifted the quilt silently, and nestled into his arms.
Brother Tang patted his younger brother on the back emotionally.
The next moment, there was creaking again, the twins crawled across the two couches, and also crawled over. The two pulled the quilt and squeezed together with them.
Brother Tang, whose quilt was suddenly ripped off: "...??"
The little wind is whistling, this is really unbearable brotherly love.
Brother Tang said helplessly: "I'm not going now! Next year! Don't be nervous, go back to your bed and sleep!"
Several people didn't make a sound or move.
Brother Tang had no choice but to stand up silently, leaning against the wall tightly so as not to squeeze his younger brothers down.
Because I was really touched, even after being kicked dozens of times by the twins at night, Brother Tang didn't take him back. When the twins woke up in the morning, they had the virtue of "hey, why are you in my bed?" Without saying a word, he took a mouthful of food as usual and went up the mountain to play.
Looking at the cheerful backs of his younger brothers, Brother Tang felt that he was a fool yesterday.
Isn’t it nice to sleep on a couch by yourself?
As a result, the four of them huddled together, and he couldn't cover the quilt all night, and he was still stuck to the wall, and he couldn't fall asleep all night because of the cold.
Until Xinbao woke up, as soon as he saw Brother Tang, the dumpling was like sending off each other from Shibali, with one hand: "Brother~~~"
Brother Tang: "Hey!"
He picked up his sister, and Xinbao sat on his lap, urging her, and refused to move away after breakfast.
Sure enough, the younger sister is the little padded jacket. Brother Tang hugged his younger sister, coaxing him left and right, feeling so soft in his heart.
Yan Shenjue saw it, and asked silently: "What's wrong with Xinbao?"
"It's okay, I don't want to part with me," Brother Tang said, "I told my family that I was going to join the army, and she started to cling to me."
Yan Shen Jue frowned: "Didn't Brother Tang want to take the imperial examination? If he can pass the imperial examination, he will be exempted from corvee. Uncle said he is fine."
"I know," Brother Tang said, "I want to join the army myself."
In today's army, apart from military households, many recruits come from refugees from various places during the famine, so most of them are old and young, and their physical condition is not much better. Combat strength cannot be guaranteed.
The rest are criminals, and it is a common practice to "assassinate and exile".
In addition, there is military service in various places.
Da Yan’s military service enlists Cheng Ding, aged 16 to 60, with a height of five feet and four inches.
If you don’t want to serve, you have to pay two taels of money to serve on your behalf, or hire someone to serve on your behalf. Usually, the labor service is 300 to 500 Wen, and the military service is 1,500 to 2,000 Wen.
But if there is a scholar in this family, then all these corvees can be exempted, including the tax-free 100 acres of land of the scholar's family, and 300 acres of land if he is a Jinshi. Therefore, scholars are indeed very valuable and very useful.
Yan and Shen Jue didn't ask any more questions, and when the time came, Xinbao didn't say anything, and practiced martial arts as usual, and when the practice was over, he was like a little koala again, smearing on Brother Tang and refusing to go anywhere.
Yan Shenjue went in and out several times, and Tuanzi was deeply in the sorrow of parting, unable to extricate himself.
Then Yan Shen Jue coaxed her: "Xinbao, the horse you want is here, do you want to go and see it?"
Tuanzi shook his head sadly: "Xinbao doesn't want to watch it, and when Xinbao thinks that he won't see his brother for several years, he doesn't want to do anything."
Brother Tang couldn't help laughing, and stood up with his sister in his arms: "I'll go and see with Xinbao, okay?"
A few people passed by.
Yan Shenjue asked someone to find two horses. One was a very tall and tall horse. It was white, but its mane was golden black, very beautiful.
One is a Yunnan horse, a very small and cute pony. Although it is a horse, it is a little smaller than Tang Xiaoba. It has big eyes and looks very good.
Xinbao was very interested immediately, got down from Brother Tang's arms, and slowly leaned over to look.
Yan Shen Jue said: "The pony is very docile, you can pet it if you want."
He motioned for Taiping to hold the rein, and wanted to come over to hug her. Brother Tang had already taken a step forward with his sister in his arms. Xinbao carefully touched the horse's neck. Seeing that the horse was not moving, Brother Tang put her on the saddle.
This saddle is obviously specially made, and Xinbao's three-inch body can also step on the pedals, and the depression in the middle is just enough to fit her little butt. When she sits on it, she feels stuck, as if very safe.
Yan Shen Jue said: "Do you want to take a walk?"
Xinbao nodded: "Yes!"
Yan Shenjue stretched out his hand, but Xinbao turned his hand back and grabbed Big Brother Tang's hand.
Brother Tang smiled, supported his sister, and walked around the open space two or three times. Xinbao felt that there was nothing to fear, so he let go: "Xinbao will go by himself."
Brother Tang was a little worried, and said, "Can you sit still?"
Xinbao bent down slightly, holding the side of the saddle with both hands: "Yes."
Brother Tang let go of his hand and took two steps back, but still stretched out his hand to protect her, Yan Shenjue said: "Don't worry, I will watch Xinbao."
Taiping understood very well, so he led the pony and circled Yan Shenjue in circles. Yan Chenjue followed the horse and turned slowly, with his eyes fixed on Xinbao.
After walking around for a few laps, Xinbao's waist gradually straightened up, and she felt that it was actually no big deal, riding a horse or something was completely trivial! She is a martial artist, so she will be as handsome as her mother!
She said: "Xinbao wants to ride a big horse."
Yan Shen Jue said: "The big horse runs fast, I will take you."
He reached out and hugged Xinbao, but Xinbao once again extended his hand to her brother...
