Dad is extremely resolute, it seems that if Zhou Zhi asks again, it will definitely be another rainstorm and thunderbolt, Zhou Zhi has no choice but to give up.

But he still said softly uneasily, "Daddy's waist has just improved, so you have to pay attention to it." ”

"Humph! Why bother you? Just take care of yourself. Zhou Tiehuan glared and shouted.

Although Daddy Zhou Tie still spoke with anger, Zhou Zhi could hear that his anger at his thunder just now had disappeared a lot, and at this time he was more concerned about himself.

In Zhou Tie's eyes, Zhou Zhi was still a child after all, and when he was growing his body, he couldn't do the heavy physical work of servitude.

I'm going to be in town early tomorrow morning, and I'm going to have to get ready today. Zhou Tie immediately said to his mother, Zhou He, "Child, mother, prepare your winter clothes neatly." This year's conscription came down earlier, so I think the time will not be short. ”

In fact, where to use Zhou Tie's orders, Zhou He had already set off and walked towards the house.

I don't know how long this year's conscription will take, let alone where to go, so I have to prepare for my husband's good life.

At dinner time, the Zhou family specially fried a plate of eggs. Obviously, this is Zhou He's deliberate practice of frying for her husband. Zhou Tie went to serve as a servant, although the government was in charge of the meal, but the food was very poor, and it was not as good as the pumpkin paste that the Zhou family ate every day.

The five of them sat around the low dining table, Zhou Tie glanced at the plate of eggs, his originally stretched face immediately became gloomy again, and said to Zhou He, "Damn, what kind of eggs are scrambled?" When I go, the government has food every day, and the food is good.

Hum! This plate of eggs will cost at least five or six eggs. I told you a long time ago that you should save up your eggs for some silver. If life goes on like this, can my Zhou family still be able to sustain it? ”

In front of the child, Zhou Heshi was a little distressed that her husband's words were inconvenient to say, so she said softly, "His father, your waist is not neat yet, since you have made eggs, you can eat it!" ”

"Humph!" Zhou Tie snorted again and stopped talking.

The younger brother Zhou Shaowei looked at the plate of eggs and salivated, but after listening to his father's words, he immediately looked away and hurriedly pulled the rice in his bowl. Although he is still a child, he is also a lot more sensible.

At the end of the meal, no one touched the plate of eggs.

Daddy Zhou Tie is naturally not willing to take a bite, he naturally leaves it to the children.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was light, and the family got up early. Daddy Zhou Tie had already packed up at this time, beat the bedding and carried it in his hand, wrapped two shabby winter coats around his back and walked out of the courtyard.

Leaving his sister Zhou Luyun to take care of the house, Zhou Zhi and his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng, and his mother followed closely behind Zhou Tie, and they were going to send Zhou Tie to the entrance of the village.

At this time, many people had gathered at the entrance of the village, all of whom were poor peasants from Baiyue Village. Uncle Wang, a neighbor, was also among them. Uncle Wang is the husband of his neighbor Aunt Li, named Wang Ren, who is an honest farmer.

When everyone saw Zhou Tie coming, they greeted Zhou Tie.

"Brother Zhou, what's going on? Why do you want so many people to send each other, isn't it because you are reluctant to give up your sister-in-law? ”

Zhou Tie's old face turned red, and he really didn't want to let his family send him off. Everyone joked with him like this, and he, who had always been dumbfounded in front of outsiders, suddenly stopped talking, didn't say a word, just smiled stupidly.

His mother-in-law, Zhou He, whispered, "His father, you have to have more eyes when you go out to work this time, and don't work hard when you see that the yacha is not there." It's all an official errand, and if you can steal some lazy, you can steal some. ”

Zhou Tie didn't know how long it would take, but at this time, he was really a little reluctant to let his family go, so he nodded lightly. glanced back at Zhou Zhi, and suddenly said angrily, "Rebel, after Lao Tzu leaves, you must not be right and wrong, you must take care of your mother and our Zhou family."

Besides, the 'Uncle Ma' must serve well, and he must not go out of the pool.

And yourself, Lao Tzu didn't insist on stopping you from studying, but Lao Tzu saw clearly that our Zhou family would definitely not produce scholars. In the future, when you are studying, you must not delay the affairs of the family, and when Lao Tzu comes back to see you, he will not spare you. ”

Only half an acre of land was left without wheat planting, how could it become a scourge for the family? Daddy's words are a bit excessive.

But Zhou Zhi can still hear that Daddy Zhou Tie actually cares about himself very much. At least yesterday he said that he wanted to return the book, but today he didn't say that, and it seems that he is not so opposed to his own reading.

Zhou Zhi nodded in agreement.

This year's conscription is to build the Tang River embankment in Tang County. Tang County is about 70 or 80 miles away from Baiyue Village, and the Tang River is the largest flood river in its territory. Originating from the Gunfeng Ridge of Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, the Tang River passes all the way through the mountains and descends, and the water flow is turbulent in Tang County, which has become an important hidden danger of flood disasters.

In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the Tang River has been much more docile, so the government has not built the Tang River embankment. In the past few years, the embankment has collapsed a lot, and once it encounters a flash flood, it is bound to be uncontrollable, causing major disasters. The government thought of building the Tang River embankment this year, which can be regarded as a precautionary measure, which is not a bad thing for Tang County, Qingdu County and Wan County.

After a while, the people who went to serve in Baiyue Village were all assembled, and everyone embarked on the journey. They first went to Gaochang Town to gather more people, then went to the county seat of Qingdu, and finally went to Tang County under the leadership of the county officials.

The autumn breeze was bleak, Zhou Zhi and his mother Zhou He, and his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the back of his father Zhou Tie from afar, and everyone's mood was very heavy.

Zhou He's eyes were overflowing with tears. Yes, the family is a little poor, but no matter how poor it is, as long as it is at ease, and the family is safe and secure together, it is a kind of happiness.

She was just an ordinary rural woman, and her demands were simple. But today her husband has traveled far away, and she doesn't know when he will return, so she can only pray silently in her heart to bless her husband's safety outside.

Dad left, it may be better for Zhou Zhi to say. At least I can do what I want to do with peace of mind. At this time, he just hoped that when his father returned, his vegetable greenhouse had been built and was overgrown with green vegetables. Thinking that when that time came, my father was overjoyed, and suddenly understood that he was not doing his job properly and harming the family, but in fact, he was constantly fighting for the family, hoping that the family could live a prosperous life.

Turning his head to see his mother's tearful eyes, Zhou Zhi comforted softly, "Mother, my father has always been honest and responsible, and it will be fine." Mother, don't worry too much about hurting your body. ”

Zhou He's mother nodded sentimentally, and the three of them slowly returned home.

There is no time to read this morning, and Zhou Zhi will be busy for a few more days from today. The adobe on the threshing floor has dried out, and it is time to transport it to the field to build the walls of the greenhouses, and it is time to build the vegetable greenhouses.
