She heard a knock on the door.
Zhang Yaozu stood up and opened the door.
At the door, Village Chief Zhang Dafu stood with two young men.
"Aiya, the village chief is here. Please come in.”
After bringing Zhang Dafu into the courtyard, Zhang Yaozu and his son looked at him in confusion.
"Dafu, why did you bring these two kids here?”
Zhang Yaozu's father said. He knew the two young men that Zhang Dafu had brought with him.
One was Zhang Dafu's eldest son, Zhang Dahao.
The other one was a smooth one who grew up with his sister.
Now that her sister was married, she was living with her brother-in-law.
The old man could not understand why these three people came to his house.
Zhang Yaozu stood at the side and seemed to have understood something.
"Dafu, don't tell me you want to bring two young children to join the army?”
Seeing that Zhang Yaozu had guessed what was on his mind, Zhang Dafu said.
"Brother Yaozu, these two are young people in the village. My son, Zhang Dahao, is only 24 years old and has a lot of strength. Up until now, there's no sign of him getting married.”
"Shunliu, I don't have to say much about this child. He had grown up, so he didn't want to trouble his sister and brother-in-law.”
"The two children are restless. When they heard that you wanted to recruit soldiers, they came to me and wanted me to bring them over to register.”
The village chief brought two young men to find his son to join the army.
Old Man Zhang heard this and knew that this was not going to work.
"Dafu, are you mistaken? My son is a traitor to the Japanese. If you send these two young men to the army, won't you harm them?”
Dafu Zhang understood that Old Man Zhang had misunderstood.
"Uncle, didn't Brother Yaozu tell you? He was now a member of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, not the original puppet army.”
"Now his team is fighting the Japanese. He is a hero who protects the country.”
Old Zhang didn't expect his son to be telling the truth.
Ever since his son became a puppet soldier, this was the first time he had heard praise.
"Good, good, good. It's good that you didn't become a puppet army.”
Old Man Zhang said three words in a row. His mood was completely different from before, and his face was full of smiles.
As a father, how could he not be happy that his son was successful?
Zhang Yaozu was very gratified. He had finally untied his father's knot in his heart.
Zhang Yaozu asked as he looked at the two young men brought by Zhang Dafu.
"Come, tell me, why do you want to be a soldier with me?”
Zhang Dahao was the first to speak." Uncle Yaozu, we can't live an ordinary life. The Japanese are rampant now." I just want to follow you to fight the Japanese and be a hero in troubled times. I didn't live in vain in this world.”
Zhang Da Hao's tone was very arrogant, and his expression revealed his yearning for heroes.
Zhang Yaozu said seriously when he saw his excitement.
"Da Hao, you will die if you fight with the Japanese. It's not easy to be a hero. If you're not mentally prepared, you should go back.”
Hearing Zhang Yaozu's words, Zhang Dahao was a little unhappy.
"Uncle, aren't you looking down on me? I've grown up well and am not afraid of anything. Why should I be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice?”
Zhang Yaozu was very satisfied with his attitude.
She patted his shoulder. He was very strong and was made for the army.
After talking to Zhang Dahao, Zhang Yaozu looked at Shunliu beside him.
The young man in front of him was famous in the village.
His parents had been gone since he was young, and his sister had brought him up.
He was the only male left in the family. Zhang Yaozu really couldn't bear for him to join the army.
"Shunliu, you should go back. If you die on the battlefield, your Chen family will have no descendants.”
"Your father is also my good brother. I can't watch you do such a dangerous thing.”
Shunliu was unhappy when he heard that, but he said with a firm expression.
"Uncle, please accept me. I beg you.”
With a crack, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Yaozu.
Zhang Yaozu was shocked by Shunliu's posture. He took a step forward and quickly helped Shunliu up from the ground.
"Shun Liu, tell Uncle why you want to be a soldier.”
His smooth young face was filled with stubbornness.
"Uncle, sister, it's not easy for brother-in-law. "If I join the army, not only can I reduce their burden, but I can also bring home canned beef and white buns.”
"Sister, brother-in-law has taken care of me for so many years.”
The reason was simple and honest.
He joined the army for canned beef, white buns, and military pay.
Unlike Zhang Dahao, who wanted to be a hero, he wanted to be a soldier to help his family.
Especially this year, when her sister had just given birth to a boy.
The whole family relied on her brother-in-law to support them. The already poor family was even more difficult.
Looking at how his brother-in-law was tired and his sister was worried, Shunliu's heart ached.
Looking at his stubborn eyes, Zhang Yaozu knew that Shunliu would definitely become a good soldier.
"Alright, smooth. Uncle will accept you.”
"Really? Thank you, Uncle." Shunliu's eyes were filled with surprise as he asked carefully again.
"Uncle, do I really get steamed buns and canned beef if I join your army?”
Zhang Yaozu smiled and replied affirmatively,"Of course." Not only that, but there was also braised pork.”
Zhang Yaozu's heart was watering when he thought of the team's food.
Although the training was a little tough, the food was really good.
Seeing that it was already noon, Zhang Yaozu pulled Zhang Dafu and the other two to have lunch at home.
On the dining table, other than a few grains of cornbread, there was also a large basin full of canned beef stewed with cabbage and potatoes.
"Eat, don't stand on ceremony."
Zhang Yaozu called everyone to sit at the table and filled each of their bowls with a big bowl.
"Shunliu, why aren't you eating?"
At the dining table, Zhang Yaozu asked curiously.
"Uncle, can I bring such delicious food home for my family to try?”
Zhang Yaozu thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just a small request.
"Shun Liu, is one bowl enough? Uncle will get you another bowl."
Zhang Yaozu picked up a bowl and filled it to the brim.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
He was carrying two big bowls of beef, cabbage, and potatoes.
She ran happily towards her sister and brother-in-law's house.
