Chapter 115
In October, the weather was still hot, and there were no crops left on the land, most of which had withered and died. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Taohua Village bought a batch of grain early because of the village chief's prompt, and everyone's life is okay, because of the drought in the country this year, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the Great Zhou Emperor felt that the taxes in the second half of this year were exempted. Despite this, many people have been displaced, and even in several villages near Taohua Village, many people have begun to save food and drink, because they bought late and have insufficient food. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes in the field can be eaten now, although they are small because of the drought, but they can be regarded as adding food to everyone.
"San Lang, are you tired, how are you, have you taken it back?" Ye Yun saw that Wang Sanlang drove the ox cart to the door of the house and hurriedly asked, entering October, Wang Sanlang's family also began to harvest the sweet potatoes and peanuts in the field, although later caught up with the drought, the peanut grains were not full, but there was still a harvest.
"It's finished, it's finally finished, and it's gone after Aunt Zhang's house is harvested today. Wang Sanlang wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with some fatigue that he had been busy collecting the land recently. But I'm tired.
"That's good, I'll dry all the peanuts, and when they're dry, I'll make you a snack to eat." It just so happened that we had snacks to eat again. Ye Yun said while fetching water for Wang Sanlang to wash his face.
"That's a good feeling, our two will wait for your delicious food. By the way, why didn't you see Doudou?" Wang Sanlang asked with some doubts, you must know that this kid will come to pick him up every day as soon as he comes back, but he didn't see it today.
"I just got called away by a dog, and a few kids went to play, so I don't care about it. The dog said that the second sister-in-law let him eat at his house. Ye Yun poured out the water that Wang Sanlang had washed his face, and said with his back to Wang Sanlang.
"How many children are asleep?" asked Wang Saburo with some curiosity. Now these little ones are very energetic, and their sleep time during the day has been significantly reduced. Normally, as long as someone is watching, they will obediently play by themselves.
"Not long after I fell asleep, these little guys are too noisy, okay, hurry up and come over for dinner, a few little ancestors will wake up and have no time. Ye Yun was very helpless when she thought of her own few babies, shouldn't the children of a few months love to sleep very much? Why are their own children so energetic! They must be accompanied by someone, and if no one accompanies the second child, it will definitely be bad.
"Don't be busy, come and eat. Wang Sanlang sat down and ate a few bites of food. found that Ye Yun was still in the kitchen and didn't come out, so he shouted into the kitchen.
"You eat first, I'll go over after brushing the pot. Ye Yun brushed the cooking pot clean, warmed some water, and planned to wash the dishes later. After cleaning up the kitchen, he sat down and ate with Wang Sanlang. I don't know why, Ye Yun felt that she was always panicking during this period of time, as if something was oppressing, which made her very uneasy.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you, why have you been in a daze lately?" Wang Sanlang saw that Ye Yun was obviously out of shape again. He patted Ye Yun on the shoulder and asked. Wang Sanlang recently found that the number of times his daughter-in-law was in a daze had increased significantly, and sometimes she would be distracted when she spoke, which made Wang Saburo worried.
"It's okay, I don't know how. Lately, I've been feeling flustered, as if something was going to happen. Ye Yun replied a little unenergetically, but he still told the truth. I'm afraid that Wang Sanlang will be blind and worried.
"Don't think about it, what's going on. If you don't feel well, you have to tell me, do you know?" Wang Saburo looked at his daughter-in-law looking listless. I had to comfort him, after all, I felt that this thing was not true. But he didn't expect it. Ye Yun's worries came true soon!
In 546 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a great drought, and the barbarians of the neighboring countries took advantage of this to invade, and Emperor Jing of Zhou recruited troops throughout the country. All citizens in the country, who have no male or only one male in the family, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the elderly who have reached the age of 50, must send a man who has reached the age of 16 to serve in the military for one year. Of course, you can also find someone to perform military service on your behalf, and if you don't have one, you can also pay fifty taels per person to be exempted from military service. But it must be clear that the common people have a few families who can save enough for fifty taels, so military service has become inevitable.
"Folks, I think you have also heard about the national military service, so I won't say more. Because the time is urgent, I can only give you one day to think about it, and tomorrow this time each family will report the people who are going to serve in the military, and the government will come to collect them in three days. Don't think about running away or whatever, because deserters are going to hurt your family. After the notice of conscription was issued, the village chief summoned the whole village to a meeting outside the courtyard of the village chief's house, and the conscription matter was finalized with everyone before the meeting was dismissed. Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief, what could be solved with silver was not a problem, anyway, there was no shortage of fifty taels in her family.
"Daughter-in-law, I want to join the army. When they got home, the two of them sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, but Wang Sanlang suddenly said to Ye Yun.
"Why?" Ye Yun didn't expect that she could be so calm when things really came, in fact, she already had a premonition in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it. Looking at Wang Sanlang's calm face, Ye Yun suddenly felt that maybe he loved him the most! domineering, fearless, but secretly gentle and considerate.
"I know it's wrong to leave your four children behind, but daughter-in-law, I don't want you to take care of it all the time, I want to be strong, make contributions, and give you and your children the best of everything. Originally, I thought I was very satisfied with my current life, but when I heard the news, I realized that in fact, I still have low self-esteem in my heart, and I feel that I am not worthy of you, and I want to make myself strong enough to be worthy of you and make you proud. Wang Sanlang's expression did not change, what he said was all from his heart. Although he was reluctant to have children and Ye Yun, he knew that this was a man's dream, and this was also his inferiority.
"San Lang, do you know, in fact, you have always been my pride. I don't blame you for making such a decision, in fact, I have always known your ambitions and ideals, but I still want to keep you by my side very selfishly. I had a hunch before you said it, I don't want to be a burden to you, but I want you to know that you still have me and the child, so protect yourself and promise me that you will come back alive!" Ye Yun's tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she just stubbornly didn't want it to stay. It's not like she left him with tears, made him regret it infinitely in the days to come, and then complained to each other, she wanted to fulfill his dream, even though she was really reluctant!
"Daughter-in-law... Wang Sanlang looked at Ye Yun, who was pretending to be strong in front of him, he didn't know what to say, his heart hurt very much, it hurt! But he must break through and make himself the pride of the child and her.
"Okay, don't talk about it, since you're leaving, I'll help you pack something. Without waiting for Wang Sanlang to finish speaking, Ye Yun got up and walked towards the house, because she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and leave him. Wang Sanlang, who was left behind, didn't move, just quietly looked at Ye Yun's back。。。。。。 (To be continued.) )
