Chapter 109: Drawing

"Don't go!" Zhang Xing replied.

The fragrance of Ye He was so fragrant that I couldn't wait to jump my feet. She said everything dry, and the good things were all said, Zhang Xing had nothing else to say except for this sentence with her from beginning to end. She pointed at Zhang Xing and said, "I don't understand, why don't you go to Huaiyang? You have been divorced by others, and the whole village is looking at your jokes, let you go over there to breathe, don't worry about everything, just eat and live well, what's wrong with this?"

There were two pigs in the house, and it had snowed heavily the night before, but everywhere there was water, it was frozen, and the hay in the pigsty had been wet with ice falling from under the eaves last night, and it was scattered by the pigs. Zhang Xing learned from Aunt He's house next door to weave a thick straw mat and prepared to put the pigsty.

Early in the morning, Ye Hexiang came to tell her and asked her to go to Ye Yunqing's house in Huaiyang to avoid the limelight. She had already made up her mind about this matter, no matter what reason Ye Hexiang came up with, she would not go to Huaiyang. But she also knew that this matter didn't make sense with Ye Hexiang, so she let Ye Hexiang wear out her mouth, but she was still calm - don't go.

Ye Hexiang saw that Zhang Xing's eyelids didn't lift, and she was so angry that she wanted to slap her twice, but she couldn't do it inexplicably. After talking for a while, all the good and bad things were said, and she really had no choice but to leave a cruel word.

"Let me tell you, this Huaiyang, if you don't go, you have to go! I can't do this for you!" After speaking, he left in a huff.

Zhang Xing lifted her eyelids and glanced at Ye Hexiang's back, and continued to weave the straw mat.

The He family proposed to withdraw from their relatives, although Mrs. Liu said that the He family did not want Najib's gift, but Wei Yunhai was not a person who liked to take advantage of small advantages? He packed up all the things sent by the He family. Ye Hexiang didn't want to fly the things in her hand. So she didn't want to go to Mrs. Liu to return the gift. Wei Yunhai asked Wei Minwu to send the things to Uncle Fu's house in Zhanghe, and asked Uncle Fu to help send the things back.

Mrs. He once gave Zhang Xing a jade bracelet. Zhang Xing also put it in the Najib gift sent by the He family, and asked Wei Minwu to send it over.

Wei Minwu returned to Weijiazhuang that night. The He family accepted the gift back, but did not accept the jade bracelet. Mrs. He said that this was her meeting gift to the juniors, and she refused to take it back. Uncle Fu couldn't push it, so she had to let Wei Minwu bring it back.

Ye Hexiang's eyes were staring at the bracelet, the color of this bracelet was a good thing at a glance, although she also had a jade bracelet, but it was much worse than this, Mrs. He didn't want it. She just happened to use it for herself. She then stood up and said, "Originally, how can you take back the things that were sent away?" Xing'er, I'll ...... this bracelet for you first." Halfway through his hand, the thing reached Zhang Xing's hand.

Ye Hexiang hated it in her heart. But Wei Yunhai was next to her, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to watch Zhang Xing wrap the bracelet in her arms.

Although Wei Yunhai is tough, he doesn't know much about women's etiquette. thinks that since Mrs. He said so, she must not want to, she must feel a little guilty, as long as Zhang Xing is willing to accept it. Then take it.

Zhang Xing accepted the bracelet, Wei Yunhai glanced at Ye Hexiang, he remembered that Ye Hexiang had something to say to him last night. Asked, "Did you tell the child?"

Ye Hexiang was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately sank. sat down and said angrily, "Said." ”

Wei Yunhai looked at Ye Hexiang's appearance, and knew that she had hit a wall. Among these children at home. Wei Yunhai values Zhang Xing the most, firstly, Zhang Xing is sensible and capable, and secondly, Zhang Xing has a daughter at home. Zhang Xing didn't want to do anything, he had always been up to her. Only this time Ye Hexiang's proposal was still a little reasonable, and he still asked, "Xing'er, don't you want to go to Huaiyang?"

Zhang Xing shook his head, "I don't want to go, my eldest brother is about to do something, and there are few people at home to help, what am I going to do there?" Wei Minwen and Fu Xianglian's family affair is set on the eighteenth day of the lunar month of this year, and it is less than a month.

Wei Yunhai thought of his eldest son's family affairs, and also felt that Zhang Xing was good at home. This round trip to Huaiyang Road, even if it is by water, it will take nearly ten days. Zhang Xing may not be able to come back in time if he goes. But he didn't want Zhang Xing to be wronged for his son's affairs.

Wei Yunhai said again: "Your mother has the affairs of the family, if you want to go, just go, stay for a while and don't worry, if you want to come back, come back again." ”

Zhang Xing smiled, looked at Wei Yunhai and said, "Uncle, I really don't want to go, we don't know each other well, what should I do at his house?" ”

Wei Yunhai saw Zhang Xing smiling happily, and also smiled with her, and said, "It's up to you, if you want to go, don't go." ”

Ye Hexiang's teeth itched again, she scratched Zhang Xing hard, glanced at Wei Yunhai again, and smiled on her face, "Big brother, should this be like this......?

Zhang Xing looked up at Ye Hexiang, blinked her eyes and asked, "Mother, when did you tell them?"

Ye Hexiang choked. She only talked to Wei Yunhai about this last night, and she didn't go out for a day today, didn't she mean that she let the Ye family rank ahead of Wei Yunhai in this matter? This is too much to take Wei Yunhai, the head of the family, seriously.

Wei Yunhai also understood, and his face immediately became a little unsightly. Ye Hexiang hurriedly pulled out a large basket of words to coax Wei Yunhai.

Zhang Xing wrapped Ye Hexiang into it, temporarily fell into his leisure, finished eating, cleaned up and went back to his room, took out the jade bracelet, looked at it for a while, and stuffed it into the money jar.

The snow only stopped for three days and started to fall again, and Zhang Xing stayed at home to clean up. After that night, Wei Yunhai kept pulling his face at Ye Hexiang. Although Ye Hexiang really wanted to send Zhang Xing to Huaiyang as soon as possible, but Wei Yunhai was like this, how could she dare to mention this matter again?

The goose feather snow drifted overnight, both sides of the Huai River were covered by heavy snow, just when every household was busy dusting the New Year, a few fast horses drove out of Zhanghe Town, and ran to the villages below.

In just half a day, the entire Weijiazhuang was boiling. The village is passing on the requisition order handed down by the town to every household. The imperial court plans to build a new capital of Anyang, and each household will draw one to Anyang, and the personnel on the fifteenth day of the lunar month will be gathered and opened, but all those who violate the order will be severely punished according to the fugitive.

Zhanghe Town has not issued such a levy order for many years, and the tranquility in the village has been broken all of a sudden, and every three men in a family will be drawn, and the strong labor in the village will be drawn out of thirty percent, and almost every family will not be spared. Although the households can be exempted from paying some taxes, there are still few families who are willing to be drawn in this way.

In the past, although the taxes were heavy and life was very difficult, the family was together, but after such a draw, who knows when Lu Dao will come back? Whether he can come back or not? No one knows the bottom.

The joy of the New Year in Weijiazhuang is gone, but everyone who has a little way is looking for a way to inquire about the news, seeking room for maneuver, whether there is another way, and so on.

Wei Yunhai's family also covered his head all of a sudden, Wei Minwu is sixteen years old this year, according to the levy order, a man who turns fifteen is counted as one, he just happens to be among them, which means that his family is also within the scope of levy.

Zhang Xing's resignation, Wei Minwen's relatives were all ranked behind. Wei Yunhai also went to the town to inquire about the news, and only came back dejected two days later.

The levy was hurried, and Liu Lizheng, the newly appointed man in Zhanghe Town, was bent on taking credit and ordered all villages and households to act according to the order, but anyone who violated the order would be severely punished.

Uncle Fu has been a businessman in Zhanghe Town for many years, and he can be regarded as having some face, so he invited Liu Lizheng to go to Juyuan Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Zhanghe Town, to eat wine. That Liu Lizheng didn't say anything at first, and only then did he get drunk and reveal some news when he was full of wine and food.

The Wei family can't avoid it, but if he can find a replacement, the town can turn a blind eye and open the net.

If you get this news, it's like if you don't get it, how many of them can avoid it? His family's life is expensive, and other families are naturally reluctant. Looking for a replacement, who can be found to replace it in the current situation? Even if there are people who are willing to go, they can't afford to rob people.

As far as their family is concerned, how old is it in Zhanghe Town? Such good things will not come to them.

Wei Yunhai was dead, and after thinking about it all night, he asked Wei Minwu to go to the town to call Wei Minwen back, and the family agreed on it.

Ye Hexiang has also been nervous these days, she knows that although Wei Yunhai rarely has a good face for his two sons, he loves them very much in his heart, and he is definitely reluctant to let any of them go.

Although she has never encountered this drawing, she has also heard from the older generation that at that time, she was a soldier, and it was rare for one out of ten to come back alive. She thinks that this is also a draw, although one is to be a soldier, the other is to do hard labor, but it should be about the same, maybe this hard labor is not as good as this soldier, this soldier is lucky, then there is also a time to return to the hometown, what hope is this hard labor? Building a new capital is not a trivial matter, it can't be built in seven or eight years. Who can survive for seven or eight years? Although Wei Yunhai is in good shape now, it is difficult to say when he gets there.

The most important thing is that if Wei Yunhai goes, what will she do?

If Zhang Xing is going to marry in the New Year, Wei Yunhai's two sons in this family can make her feel better?

So in the past few days, she has cried and complained on Wei Minwu's face, looking forward to moving Wei Minwu to ask for help. As soon as Wei Minwen came back, she hurriedly pulled him aside and was about to wipe her tears with him. Unfortunately, Wei Yunhai happened to go out, and when he saw her like this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said, "Why are you crying in front of the child? ”

Wei Minwen had already learned about this from Uncle Fu, and after he entered the house, he didn't have time to drink a sip of tea, so he said to Wei Yunhai: "Dad, I'll go." "He is the eldest son in the family, and he should have stepped forward at this time.

Wei Minwu sat at the table early and played in circles with his hands on the wick flame. After listening to Wei Minwen's words, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Brother, don't fight with me, your relationship with Xianglian will be here soon, you are leaving, what should she do, or I will go." ”

He has also thought a lot about it in the past few days, everyone in the village is talking about it, and no one who talks about it does not shake their heads, and he also knows that if he goes here, he may not be able to come back alive. But his father is the pillar of this family, and he can't leave, his brother is about to marry, and Uncle Fu is still counting on it, so he can't go. He is the only one who can go to this house.

Wei Yunhai remained silent. (To be continued......)
