The two little girls lowered their heads. There were five sisters living in one room. The eldest sister said that their mother didn't care about them, which was different from what Yu Min said.

After listening to Yu Min's words, I felt that it made sense. I thought that if my mother knew that she would die, she would definitely not go.

"Yu Min, can you and Uncle Yu not leave from now on?"

"It will be the same if my eldest sister finds a live-in son-in-law to support the family."

Wu Xiaoxue shook her head. "How can they be the same? The live-in son-in-law of the old Zhao family in the village is greedy, lazy, and beats people."

"No, I'll make sure to find out everything when looking for a son-in-law for my eldest sister. Just don't choose a bad one. The situation you described won't happen."

"The Zhao family's son-in-law was pretty good at first, but he changed later, didn't he?"

Yu Min didn't know how to respond to this. Of course people change, maybe he was just pretending at the beginning and no one noticed.

Yu Min changed the subject and didn't want to talk about whether to leave or not, mainly because no one could be sure of that.

I still have the will to make contributions, so it is unlikely that I will stay. My cheap dad will not stay either, mainly because they are all girls, and there is no way for them to stay.

I have to think about where my cheap father will go in the future. Such a refined man, I wonder if he will go to the battlefield?

Should I? In fact, I should leave quickly. If I come to recruit soldiers later, it will be troublesome. Yu Junshan is still a strong laborer, and such people are definitely within the scope of conscription.

"Yu Min, what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning?"

"I'm worried that there will be conscription in the future."

"Conscription?" Wu Xiaoxue was terrified. She had seen it before, but Mr. Xu paid money. The young men in the village who were strong and capable were not taken away.

"Ah."

"What should I do?"

"There is no way."

The two little girls frowned, their faces full of worry.

Yu Min knew that his worries were unnecessary. There was no way to avoid living in troubled times, unless one went to an uninhabited place.

This method is okay, but there will still be times when things go wrong and you can’t be completely self-sufficient.

Wu Xiaoxue couldn't sit still anymore. She ran out and scared Yu Min. "What's wrong with you?"

"Go tell my elder sister and the others."

Wu Xiaozhen and the others were also stunned after hearing this. "What should we do then?"

This incident troubled the sisters of the Wu family.

Yu Junshan didn’t know what the children were thinking, and he didn’t ask about the girls.

Three days later, they were working and saw a group of people coming from afar, which scared them.

"Everyone squat down." The cotton stalks were already knee-high, and if they squatted down, they would still be hard to see from a distance. Especially since the girls were still skinny and small, they could hide.

The girls moved very quickly. Yu Min was the last one to arrive. Yu Junshan was anxious. "Xiao Min, come here."

Yu Min slowly crawled over to his stepfather. "Dad, it doesn't look like a Japanese devil."

"No matter who you are, just stay still." Yu Junshan was really scared.

Yu Min raised his head and took a look. "Dad, he's coming. He should be a comrade from the guerrillas."

It was obvious that my cheap dad was relieved.

Yu Junshan didn't get up until the team passed by. "Let's continue working."

Life is really hard for country people. They work in the fields all day long and then continue working after the danger is over.

They went home together at noon and saw that others were working faster in the fields than them.

Wu Xiaozhen whispered, "Uncle Yu, can we not take a break at noon?"

Yu Junshan sighed, "You are girls, you can't be too tired. In fact, you don't mind a few days."

"They're almost done weeding this time."

"Don't worry. The yield won't be reduced because you weed less." Yu Junshan still didn't want to let the girls get too tired.

It's pretty quick to cook when I get home. I made cornmeal at night and now I can make pancakes.

Yu Min brought back some wild vegetables. The Chinese cabbages in the yard had already grown, so she picked some to use in the soup.

After lunch, Wu Xiaozhen wanted to go out, but Yu Junshan refused. "I'll call you after an hour of rest."

There are still people working in the fields at noon. The farmers' enthusiasm for hard work is truly unmatched by other types of workers.

When I came back from working in the field, I happened to meet the village chief.

"Don't be too tired, you guys."

"Uncle San, have you finished weeding your house?" Wu Xiaoxue asked.

"No, Xiao Yu, the guerrilla comrades are in our village. I came here to find you to listen. I don't seem to understand. You are a cultured person who is much better than us."

Yu Junshan smiled and said, "Village Chief, I only know a few words, I can't be called an educated person."

"That's better than us. Go over and listen and tell us later."

"Okay then." Yu Junshan turned around and looked at the girls, "Don't be too tired, just do it slowly."

Yu Min actually wanted to go and listen, but he also knew that he couldn't be too special, so he could only continue working.

When Yu Junshan arrived at the village chief's house, there were two comrades in the yard.

Yu Junshan greeted them with a smile.

"Looks like a fellow villager, he should be a cultured person."

"I'm not an educated person. I just know a few words."

"That's already very good. We came here this time to mobilize everyone to fight against the Japanese."

Yu Junshan glanced at the village chief and said, "This is what we should do. All Chinese people should do this."

"Fellow villagers, we must drive the Japanese invaders out. How can we allow the Japanese invaders to trample on our beautiful land?"

"Comrade is absolutely right. I also know why you came here, but now everyone is in the fields. I will gather everyone in the evening and ask you to talk to them." The village chief continued.

"Well, if both of you fellow villagers are so conscious, then why should we worry about not being able to drive the Japanese out?"

Yu Junshan stood up and said, "In that case, I will go back to work and will definitely join you in the evening."

I thought it was such a difficult thing to understand, this village chief is so cunning.

As Yu Junshan walked, he thought that he might be conscripted this time.

Actually, it doesn't matter. I had the dream of joining the army before, but I didn't go because Xiaomin was too young. Now my daughter is much more sensible and can take care of herself. Do I have the opportunity to fulfill my dream?

When they returned to the field, six girls hurriedly surrounded them. Yu Min was still wondering what was going on. Why did they come back so soon? They should have walked on the road for more than half the time, right?

"Comrades from the guerrillas are here to call for enlistment."

Now the six girls all looked unhappy and looked at each other. The thing they were afraid of still happened.

"Dad. You don't want to go, do you?" Yu Min asked tentatively.

Yu Junshan nodded without any hesitation. "Xiao Min, I do have this idea. You were young before, but now you are older, so I want to give it a try."

Yu Min's expression became even more unpleasant, but he immediately calmed down and said, "Dad, you know how dangerous the battlefield is, right?"
