Chapter 12

"I don't know, the noodles are all cooked, let's eat it." Li Shuqin went to get the bowl as she said that, it was rare for her brother to be so kind, how could she not give him face?
After eating, Li Shuqin and Li's mother went back to their rooms to sleep after taking a bath.Li Shuqin lay on the bed, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, thinking wildly.After lying down for a while, she heard a knock on the door, and she pulled the quilt, "Who is it?"

"Your brother." Li Ming's voice came from outside.

Li Shuqin reached out to turn on the light, got up from the bed, and opened the door of the room.Li Ming came in, sat down on her bed, lowered his head and didn't speak.Li Shuqin also came over and sat down, looking at him, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Ming raised his head, "You know mom is going to fry skewers, so do you know why mom is going? It's not that my family doesn't have money, mom doesn't have to work so hard."

Li Shuqin looked at him, it seemed that her elder brother had found out with conscience, but she hadn't realized the reality yet, and she still regarded herself as a well-off family.Li Shuqin knew Li Ming's character. If he knew that their little aunt had cheated her family of 50 yuan, he didn't know what he would do.It must be impossible for things to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

"How much money do you think my family has? Dad didn't save much. He ate, drank, and gave gifts every day at work. How could there be any money in the family? Dad has been away for so long, and my mother's salary is not very high. It's almost spent. You are not sensible, and you injured someone before, did you spend tens of thousands? Mom doesn't work hard, how can this family survive?"

"So you want me to join the army?"

Li Shuqin picked her finger, "You didn't pass the college entrance examination, and you don't know anything. What can you do? Go out to serve as a soldier, exercise, and contribute to the country. If you get along well, you might have a good future. Stay home strong."

After that, Li Ming didn't say anything more.He went out with a sullen head, and when he reached the door, he said again: "Qinqin has grown up."

After Li Ming returned to his room, he thought about it for a long time, and lay awake all the time.He also woke up very early the next day, but didn't get up.He didn't get up until Li Shuqin and Li's mother had gone out, and collected all kinds of documents.With some money on him, he ran to the photo studio to take a photo of his ID, and then went to the Armed Forces Department to register.

From registration to the completion of various medical examinations to the political review to filling out the application form for enlistment, neither Li's mother nor Li Shuqin knew that Li Ming had done this.Because of Li's father, the Li family still has some connections in L City, so Li Ming's enlistment into the army went smoothly.

It was like this until the end of the month, and one day, Li Ming suddenly said at the dinner table: "Mom, I'm leaving in two days, don't set up your booth, just do a job with peace of mind."

Mother Li froze the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at Li Ming, "Okay, what are you talking about?"

Li Shuqin took a bite of the rice, guessing a bit in her heart.She silently looked at Li Ming, "Brother...where are you going?"

"The troops have been assigned, and I will serve as a soldier." Li Ming said proudly.

"Crack!" Mother Li slammed the chopsticks on the table, "Who told you to go?"

"Mom, it's an honor for one person to join the army." Li Shuqin looked at Li's mother and added this sentence.
