Nongmenfu girl's daily life

Chapter 2218 Every family has the pain of bereavement
At the beginning of the country's stability, the people re-digged the flooded farmland and planted new seeds. In the coming year, they prayed for good weather, seeds germinated, and a bumper harvest in autumn.

"Don't take my son away, he is already the only seedling in my family!"

"He's only 13 years old!"

"do not want!"

A wrinkled face, like old bark, looked at the rather old woman kneeling on the ground, holding her son tightly.

She is actually only 40 years old.

But already looks like a 60-year-old woman.

Originally, she had five children, three boys and two girls, and her husband was also in good health.

The flood made them refugees, begging all the way, starving her two children to death.

There were famines all over the place, and the city where they fled was not much better than their original residence, and the land was full of starvation. His husband blocked the victims in order to save them, and disappeared.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that it was impossible for her husband to survive.

Later, her daughter couldn't bear the pain of running all the way, and a wind and cold killed her.

The eldest son joined the army in order to allow his mother and younger brother to live a stable life, and indeed in exchange for their peaceful life, at least they had a place to settle down and a farmland allotment.

Originally thought that life would get better, but then the news came that the eldest son died in battle, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man.

She was so sad that she hugged her young son, the only remaining son, and cried for seven days and seven nights.

She swears in her heart that no matter how hard life is, she will endure it, for the only male in the family, for the only blood of her husband's family, and will not let the youngest son have any mistakes.

But who would have thought that now that there is no war, the new emperor and the new kingdom, everything is stable, what awaits her is not a good day, but a bad news.

When the country recruits soldiers, every family must produce a male!
In the past, the state would not recruit anyone under the age of 14, but now even if it is just a seven-year-old child or a 60-year-old man, as long as he is the only male on the household registration, all of them will be taken away!

The soldiers who came to recruit soldiers couldn't bear it, hesitated a little, but finally sighed and said: "This is the meaning of the superior, every family is like this, don't make things difficult for you."

"Being a soldier is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe you can make a name for yourself and become a centurion, a thousand commander, or a general!"

"Yeah, it's better to be a soldier and have meat than to eat chaffy vegetables here?"

"No matter what, we are going to take your son away. You'd better think about it in a positive way and think about it."

The woman knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, crying: "When my eldest son didn't want to make contributions, why didn't he want to have a full meal, thinking that if he didn't eat the rations at home, my younger son and I could live better. He went and never came back!"

"I have five children in total. In just a few years, they left me one by one, leaving only this son!"

"I can't let him go, I can't bear the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man any more!"

The pain of losing a child can be said to be heartbreaking.

The woman looked up at the sky and howled in mourning, one after another like weeping blood.

One person cried like this, which aroused the emotions of the whole village. This village head was originally a new village established by refugees. Among the refugees here, how many did not lose their children in the disaster? The pain of the brunette.

"My son, my son can't go!" An old woman had already let go, but now she rushed over and hugged her son who was standing beside the soldier.

The recruiting soldiers have already recruited about 30 people, and now all the family members of the 30 people rushed over, trying to drag the male back home.
