"Blame me, it's all my fault!" Cao Xiaoxia accompanied him with a laugh, "Mom, don't be angry. If you really don't want me to go, then I'll go and tell Teacher that I'm not going anymore."

"Ouch!" Mother Cao's anger had long subsided. Hearing her daughter's words, she panicked, "I can't even go if I wanted to. Isn't it stupid of you to choose?"

Cao Xiao Lian quickly answered, "Xiao Xia, mom is not angry anymore. You can't do this again. If you go to the army, you have to send a long letter. If you don't write, I will bring you back."

"I promise!" Cao Xiaoxia immediately stood straight and raised three fingers, swearing, "I will write a letter to my family every day, one from my sister and one from my mother. I will record every day, every word and every word I know."

"Then are you going to study or write a letter!" Mother Cao's tears turned into a smile, "Don't waste their army's paper and get back to work. If they are forced to come back, then there's no f * * king way to take their face anymore."

"I guarantee that you will absolutely study hard and not embarrass our Cao family!"

She had a very serious look on her face as she looked at her sister and mother. However, her eyes were rolling around as she thought of a bad idea.

Mother Cao could no longer be bothered to get angry at the child. After all, this little girl was still trying her best. To be selected as a literary soldier, how much skill must she have? She had truly brought honor to Old Cao's parents.

Seeing that everyone was getting on friendly terms, Cao Xiaolian also laughed, "Alright, let's eat. I'll accompany you to town in a bit."

"What are you doing in town?" Cao Xiaoxia thought her sister was going to send her to school, so she quickly explained, "The army said they will leave next week. I will go to school in two days to settle some paperwork, so I don't need to attend classes. I can leave later.

"I'm not sending you off." Cao Xiaoling tugged on his mother's arm and said, "Mom, let's go to town after breakfast. We need to buy some things for Xiaoya."

"Sis, stop buying." Cao Xiaoxia waved her hands, "Send out all the troops and keep them at home. I've just arrived, so I don't think there'll be much subsidies. In two years, when my salary is high, I'll be able to send some money to my family."

"You, study hard. You don't need to worry about your family."

"Exactly." Mother Cao also agreed, "Your sister is right. If we send more in the army, there won't be much left. We'd better prepare well."

"Sis, are your feet ready?" Cao Xiaoxia tried to change the subject. She was not willing to spend money from her family. She knew it would not be easy. Her father died early, and it was her mother who brought up the two of them. Just the family of three would be good enough. Where was the money left?

As for his sister, he had to work hard for this. Every day, he would write and draw on the fabric blueprints. Cao Xiaoxia was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep her eyes open.

Could she use this money?

"Your feet are fine from the start." Cao Xiaoling's injury looked scary. After sleeping for the whole night, her swelling had subsided and she was no longer in pain. She said, "Besides, we'll see if the village has an oxcart in progress. Give us twenty cents and we'll sit on it. If you don't listen to us today, Mom and I will get angry."

Cao Xiaoxia knew that her mother and sister were doing it for her sake, so she replied with a straight face, "Fine, fine. I'll listen to you guys. Who told me to be the youngest?"

"Right, the youngest one, just listen to me obediently."

After the family finished their meal, they were truly fortunate. The supply and marketing shop in the village collected the eggs and was about to send them to the town. Grandpa Li directly let the three of them get on.

Along the way, after hearing the news that Cao Xiaoxia was going to join the army, Grandpa Li was full of praise as well, "Aiya! In our village, even a Golden Phoenix would need to fly out. "

"What you are saying is to dance and sing a song. How can it be the Golden Phoenix? It's not like it's a university student."

"Eh, I don't like what her aunt said."

Grandpa Li said with a smile, "Being promoted to the People's Liberation Army is nothing compared to being a university student. If that's the case, joining the army will be even more honorable. Your little girl, in my opinion, is a perfect material! "

"Thank you, Grandpa Li!" Cao Xiaoxia said sweetly, "Let me sing a song for you."

"Good, good, good." Uncle Li was laughing so hard that his eyes almost narrowed into slits. "Uncle sure has a lucky ear today."

After one song was sung, the other song was sung. The entire way, it was filled with laughter and laughter. The singing soon arrived.

"Her sister-in-law, I'll drive the tractor back at six o'clock in the afternoon. Bring the children with you!"

"How can I be embarrassed?" Old Li's mother rubbed his hands and said with a straight face, "What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all from the same village, and what you're saying is really too foreign."

Mother Cao was a shy person. With her status as a widow, she had never had any contact with men. Cao Xiaolian quickly said, "Then, thank you, Uncle Li."

"Sigh!" "Xiao Lian is still the best."

"Uncle Li, just talking about sister is good. I sang a song for you along the way." Cao Xiao Xia pretended to be angry. "You are too biased!"

"Good, good!" Because of his wife's health, he had never had a child. Seeing these two children, it was as if he had eaten honey in his heart.

At the same time, he was sighing to himself. He had no luck in this life!

After bidding farewell to Grandpa Li, the three of them began to stroll along the roadside.

Cao Xiaolian decided to go directly to the department store to buy some things for her sister, but that thought was immediately dispelled. Cao Xiaoxia was afraid of spending money, and Cao Ma had said that since they were going to the army, they shouldn't make things too special, so everything should be done normally.

Cao Xiaolian was suddenly enlightened. At the same time, she felt that her mother had more things to discuss with her than she had thought. She also decided to discuss with her family if anything happened in the future.

Since he decided not to go to the department store, he went straight to the small shop and began to choose items.

In fact, the army sends out everything. They send out clothes, bedding and even a basin to brush their teeth. If it was a boy, he would have given it to them empty-handed. However, a girl needs more things …

For example, underwear, personal items, etc.

Maybe it was because the two sisters were not well nourished, Cao Xiaolan remembered that her body was only 14 years old and had just started the initial tides. Later, when he had the money, he went to see a Chinese doctor, saying that he had a cold body, but this was also why he couldn't do anything about it. He had been taking medicine for many years, and it was of little use.

Now that he was his sister, he was almost thirteen, and there was no movement from her body.

He didn't understand or understand, but he couldn't forget anything. He picked a hot water bottle in the end to make her feel uncomfortable. Then, he used this bottle to fill her cup with hot water so that it would feel more comfortable.

Therefore, Cao Xiaolian decided to buy a little something first, in case she needed it. She would teach her younger sister at night so that she would not be afraid when her family was not around.

Cao Xiaoxia did not know what it was, but her mother knew it. She looked at her eldest daughter with a trace of gratification in her eyes.

This child had always been obedient from a young age, apart from that one time with Wang Ziwen, he'd truly been infuriated.

Fortunately, she knew her way back, and was now more sensible than before.

The three of them also bought a small alarm clock, a notebook and a pen. After all, they couldn't afford to leave Cao Xiaoxia behind even if she went to school.

The items for the small items were very complete. They were all bought at noon.

"Mom, let's go to the restaurant next day."

It was Cao Xiaolan's suggestion. In her memory, Cao Ma had never gone to a restaurant before.

"It's so expensive to go there. With that money, I'll be able to eat a few meals at home."

"Mom!" Cao Xiaolian persuaded, "Xia is leaving soon, so let's just treat it as sending her off to have a good meal together. Besides, your daughter is making money now, so let's go have a meal together."

Mother Cao hesitated, but Cao Xiaoxia also advised, "That's right, I'm leaving soon. Let me spend my sister's money for the last time."

"You child, if you're talking about your sister's money, then would you be able to get it from the wind?" Mother Cao said this, but her heart was moved. She slapped her thigh and said, "Sure, mother. Let's enjoy the happiness of our two daughters. Let's go have a meal!"

In the end, when they picked a restaurant, Mother Cao insisted on choosing a noodle shop and was persuaded by the two sisters to go to a luxurious restaurant.

This was a state-run restaurant. It was used to entertain big customers. When the people standing at the door saw the clothes of Cao Xiaolian and the other two, they replied in a nonchalant manner, "We're wrong. We need to eat noodles."

It was obvious that he was looking down on people with his dog eyes.

"We're here to eat!"

As soon as Cao Xiaolian finished her sentence, the man sneered and said with disdain, "Why don't you just take a piss and see what you guys are like. You want to eat here? Scram! I'm not in a good mood today. I don't have the time to play with you country bumpkins."

Cao Xiaolian was immediately infuriated. "How can you say that, ah! Your door is open, and it doesn't say that you're not being entertained, but what are you eating here for? It can't be that it's not for humans, it's for clothes to eat. "

"It's for clothes to eat, what do you think?" That person's attitude was extremely arrogant. "I'm telling you, I've seen too much of your behavior. Have you already eaten? Are you planning on losing your wallet or something? Do you want to eat an overbearing meal?"

He pointed his finger at Cao Xiaoling, "As long as I'm here, I won't even open the door. I also told you today, you little scum, you can get lost as far as you can. If you don't leave, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

Cao Xiaolian stood up and was about to go inside when the man suddenly took out a broom from behind the door and said to Cao Xiaolian, "Get lost, get lost, don't be shameless. If you don't get lost, I'll kick you out."

Mother Cao also advised, "Forget it, Xiao Lian. Let's go. I think the noodle house nearby is pretty good."

Cao Xiao Xia did not say anything, but gritted her teeth and glared at the man in front of her.

"I have to go in today." Cao Xiaolian was so angry that she laughed, "But I'm not telling you. Call your boss out."

"Someone like you is worthy enough to meet our boss." The man rolled his eyes and sneered, "Get out of here, country bumpkin!"

Cao Xiaolian was so angry that her whole body was trembling. In her two lifetimes, she had never experienced such anger before. However, just as she was about to speak up, she heard a calm male voice from behind her, "Who hired you, and this is how you talk to your customers?"

The voice was deep and steady, and it sounded familiar.

Cao Xiaolian turned around and a tall figure entered her eyes.

He wore a well-ironed suit, and had the face of the abstinence department. There was also a stern expression like that of an iceberg. Wasn't this the man she bumped into that day in the department store?

Why did they come here?
