Chapter 7 (1/2)

At this time, the voice of the father who said he would not come back for dinner came from the outside: ”four children, come out!”

We all feel very strange. You know, my father should accompany Jin Nan at this time. It's unreasonable to come home at this time.

I hurried out and listened to my father and me say, ”Si'er, now is the key period of selection. If you really want to leave Binhu village and go out, you should hurry to prepare.”

After listening to my father's words, I was stunned. I mentioned it with my father before, but he never promised.

At that time, he seemed to disapprove of my going out, but now he suddenly said so, so that I didn't know what to do.

Seeing me in a daze, my father then said, ”I signed you up, but if you really want to go out, you have to let everyone in the family agree with you. You know, every applicant has to pass at least three tests. Unless it is a person of great use to the family, it is difficult to leave Binhu village and go out. ”

I have known this truth for a long time. Although I don't quite understand why, I have kept it in mind.

Seeing that I didn't speak, my father then said, ”the test will begin early tomorrow morning. This time, the young people of Jin family, Li family and Liu family will participate in the selection. Whether they can win or not is not only related to whether you can leave Binhu village and go outside, but also related to the interests of our Jin family... Do you understand?”

I knew a little about my father's words, but I was very interested in leaving here to see the outside world, so I nodded and said, ”I see. I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's test.”

The father smiled: ”in fact, you have practiced before tomorrow's test. Except for Kung Fu, I think you have problems. There are no problems in physical fitness and culture. Four sons, come on, fight for our Kim family, and for me and your mother. ”

I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulder was much heavier. Before, I just wanted to go out and see the outside world. Now after listening to my father's words, I found that I had to win honor for my family.

This is not a small thing, especially for me, who is just ten years old.

My father seemed to see something and said to me, ”don't be too nervous. It's not too late to go out in ten years. Anyway, you're still young and have a chance.”

Mother didn't know when she came behind me. At this time, she quietly patted me on the shoulder and whispered, ”you just go to the selection. Don't worry about other things.”

After a pause, the mother said, ”it's not necessarily a good thing to go out. Less than half of the people who have gone out over the years can survive, and not many do well... Si'er, you're still young. In my opinion, don't participate in this selection. It's good to stay at home and marry a daughter-in-law when you grow up.”

I was at a loss. I looked at my mother and didn't know what to say.

After the father hesitated, he looked at my mother and said, ”don't blow the child's enthusiasm. It's good for Si'er to go outside. Our seven children, that is, four children, want to go out and have a look. We should support him. ”

Mother couldn't help complaining about her father: ”you know it's good to go out and have a look. Why don't you think about how dangerous it is outside? Also, you know, which ten-year selection was not a bloody battle? Four sons are young. If they compete with those family members, they will suffer losses! ”

The mother's eyes turned red. Her father quickly comforted her: ”it's all right. I've said hello. If I can't, let Si'er admit defeat. They won't hurt Si'er.”

The mother said, ”if you has the final say, it's good that you guys are not saying that, but I don't know these things, anyway, I don't know about you, you... You think more about four children, don't let four children get hurt.”
