Chapter 368: Recruiting (2)
"Thank you, mother. You are so far-sighted! Look at these aunties. They are no good. You can tell at a glance that they are not as good as you." Seeing that his mother agreed, Xu Xiaobao started praising them and even after praising them, he did not forget to compare them with other aunties.
Looking at those women who secretly competed with their men and held their sons to prevent them from going to the army, Aunt Xu couldn't help but straighten her chest and felt that she was indeed as her son said.
"That's right." Aunt Xu's eyes were full of pride.
"Xu Xiaobao, your mother agreed to let you join the army? That's great." Xu Xiaobao's playmate came to see Xu Xiaobao and happened to hear Aunt Xu's words of agreement, and said enviously.
"What? Xiao Shitou, your mother didn't agree?" Xu Xiaobao asked.
"That's right, she's competing with my dad! She said if anyone dares to let me go, she'll hang herself." Little Stone sighed. They were all grown-up boys, and at this moment they had lofty ambitions. They grew up listening to the stories of the mighty General, and now the mighty General was right in front of them. This was something they could never have imagined.
Besides, if the mighty general wants to recruit soldiers, they can learn skills from the general, defend their country and become heroes. Who wouldn’t be looking forward to it?
"What do you think?" Xu Xiaobao rolled his eyes and asked Xiao Shitou.
"Nonsense, we have played the role of general so many times, don't you know me?" Little Shitou admires generals the most and wants to play the role of a general every time.
"It's one thing to know, but it depends on whether you have the determination!" Xu Xiaobao said with a blink.
"You said, as long as you can convince my mother, I can do anything." Xiao Shitou said seriously.
"Watch me." Xu Xiaobao raised his eyes proudly and walked to his mother's side.
"Mom! I've always said that you're really amazing. I'm so glad that my mother is you." Xu Xiaobao said to Aunt Xu.
"What's wrong? Why is your little mouth suddenly so sweet?" Aunt Xu asked with a smile.
"Little Shitou came to me and said that his mother would never agree, and even argued with Shitou's father and wanted to hang herself!" Xu Xiaobao looked disgusted.
"Xiao Shitou is different from you. He is the only child, while you have two older brothers." Aunt Xu didn't know what to say. After all, he was the only child and must be more precious.
"Mom, look, you've made a mistake again. Joining the army doesn't mean you're going to die. You're learning skills from the general. Do you still fear death after learning skills? Besides, the general said, we are just guarding our own home. We only fight back if someone hits us. No one is hitting us now, right? We are still in the village, right? Where is the danger?" Xu Xiaobao looked at his mother disapprovingly and expressed his thoughts.
"That's right!" Aunt Xu's eyes lit up. That's right! The general said that they would stay at home and not go out to fight. They didn't care how the princes fought. They just had to make sure nothing happened here.
"Is that so? Shitou's mother is making such a fuss, fighting and making a fuss, and then look at you, mother, you are so understanding and righteous. You are like that, mother." Xu Xiaobao made a thumbs-up gesture to Aunt Xu.
This made Aunt Xu very happy.
"Mom, go talk to Shitou's mother. You two have a good relationship and she will definitely listen to you." Xu Xiaobao said confidently.
"I'll go talk to her." Aunt Xu said with a smile, and under the gaze of Xu Xiaobao and Xiao Shitou, she walked towards Xiao Shitou's mother.
Shi Tou's mother was crying and making a fuss at the moment, making her father look unhappy. There were so many people around trying to persuade him not to get angry, so he could only hold back his anger and say nothing.
