After doing two, Chen An lay on the bed, unable to move.

"Go on."

Chen An's buttocks lifted twice.

"Let me tell you something." Seeing Chen An's tricks, Chen Ping felt that he still had to correct his lazy nature ideologically, "The imperial court will dig a canal in the coming year." ”

In March of the following year, Yang Guanghui ordered the construction of Tokyo, and at the same time, he would also levy men and women from various counties in Henan to open the Tongji Canal, send people to collect timber, and build river boats such as dragon boats, yellow dragons, and red ships, so as to prepare for the lower river.

"It's the same as Grandpa repairing that Tianqu?" Chen An asked, not clear about the difference between a river canal and a field canal.

"How wide is the canal? It's different. Chen Ping shook his head, "Tushui in the south of the village, the canal is as wide as that, and I don't know if Grandpa will be requisitioned to serve at that time." ”

"Then I have to bring more food for Grandpa." Chen An was a little excited, and said, "At that time, we went to play in the water together, and Grandpa shouldn't have known." ”

It's all the same thing, it's a canal that will kill people, Chen An is still too small, he doesn't know the danger of forced labor, so let's start from the other side.

"Let's go to play in the water, what about the family? Grandpa went to dig the canal, who would collect the rice and grain in the field? Chen Ping said, "So, you have to exercise now, and when you are strong next year, you can also help the family share the housework." ”

In fact, there is no need to do this, the construction of Tokyo and the excavation of the Tongji Canal, the most affected are actually the counties of Henan, and the ones that can be related to it are probably the ditch, but the conscription will not necessarily be levied to Liuhe County.

Let's just say that if it is requisitioned and sent and it is close to home, there is no need to worry too much.

But when talking to Chen An, he has to talk about the situation in a serious direction.

"Brother, can't you do it alone?" It's a pity that Chen Ping still underestimates Chen An too much, this guy just wants to be the master of the world, how can he have a little sense of responsibility, "I can help take care of the family, Erniu can also do it, let Erniu help you harvest rice." ”

"Who cooks the food at home?"

"Mother, mother is also doing very well."

"Where's the little lady? Who brings? ”

"Sister Xiaoya, she likes Xiaoniang very much, and Aunt Wang can also come with her."

Okay, this distribution is really flexible, Chen Ping completely gave up.

"If you don't do twenty push-ups tonight, don't eat that steamed cake tomorrow." Chen Ping directly threatened, "When this kang is ready, you will go to sleep in the hall." ”

"Why? I'm going to sleep here too. ”

"Because this is the money you and I earned." Being rich is hard, Chen Ping replied and glared at Chen An, "You choose." ”

Chen An's hair was tangled, he thought about it, weighed the gains and losses, and finally pouted his ass and obediently started push-ups.

It seems that there is merit in solving problems violently, and it is straightforward.

The rain fell sparsely and did not stop all night, but the thunder rang for half an hour and then gradually fell.

When Chen Ping got up, the door of the hall was already open, and Lu Xingyong was dressed neatly, holding a toothbrush and a bamboo tube, and had just come out.

"You're doing a good job." Lu Xingyong raised the bamboo-handled toothbrush, smeared some salt on it, and squatted on the steps.

Running into the hall, Chen Ping took out the old noodles, then mixed the flour, used the old noodles as yeast, and kneaded them into the new noodles. After kneading it into a ball, he put it in a clay pot and continued to sprinkle the remaining flour with the sackcloth.

We have to wait.

"I still have some toothbrushes at home, and I'll bring them with you, Uncle Lu." Chen Ping clapped his hands, and when he saw Lu Xingyong coming in with a toothbrush, he remembered that the person in front of him was a slave who came to protect his children, and he seemed to be a housekeeper when he listened to Grandpa's words last night.

This is a better living sign than Li Yingxing, and the name of the fire sickle has been opened, but this toothbrush has always been in a half-dead state, but now it is a good opportunity.

"Then get me a few." Lu Xingyong was not polite, and said, "If you are satisfied with it when you go home, I will buy it from you." ”

Among smart people, it is easy to speak, and this is what Chen Ping wants.

"If you go to the grocery store that my uncle owns, you can sell it, and it's only fifteen cents a piece." Chen Pingdao also reported the location of the uncle's home, "The northwest side of the cross street, the location of the south curve." ”

The sky is overcast, and there are puddles of water in the yard, and you can't get into the mountains on this rainy day. Chen Ping took the bow and stood at the entrance of the hall, without using the arrow, after putting on the wooden wrench, he practiced his thumb strength.

About the estimated hour, when Chen Xiaoyi got up, Chen Ping looked at the face, and the hair was about the same, so he took it out and kneaded it into a ball.

Chop the meat, put sugar to make the filling, burn the fire and steam, and when Chen Xiaoyi carried the shovel, the buns were also cooked, three small cages and one large cage.

"Just put it here, take a few more." Putting on a cloak and a hat, Chen Xiaoyi held a cloth bag in his hand and gave it to Chen Ping, "Your mother sewed it yesterday." ”

It's good to have this, saving the trouble of taking the bowl, Chen Ping used chopsticks to clip more than ten steamed cakes, put them in, and put the small cloth bag round.

The wind was blowing, the rain was lighter, Chen Xiaoyi put the cloth bag under his coat, wore double grass shoes on his feet, and his trouser legs were also rolled up, stepping on the mud barefoot, and shrunk his head out of the yard.

On such a day, I have to serve the conscription, Chen Ping stood at the entrance of the hall with deep eyes.

"If this is really digging that ditch and requisitioning Ding Zhuang to Liuhe County, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse." The conscription of the field canal had to be repaired in the rain, and the ditch that Yang Guang directly ordered to be excavated and dredged would only be more serious than this, Chen Ping was a little worried.

After pulling the bowstring, Chen Ping was about to ask Xiao Anzi to send a few buns to Chen Ya's house, but Lai Lian pushed the courtyard gate and rushed in.

"I'm going to eat steamed cakes." After entering the hall, Lai Lian saw the steamer, and immediately went over and opened it, "Xiaoya, you come over too, do you want steamed meat cakes or sugar steamed cakes?" ”

The two of them held one in one hand, sitting at the entrance of the hall, looking at the rain in the courtyard, and Chen An also grabbed two of them and squeezed them together.

"Lian Niang, your sixth brother is back. When the rain is lighter, you will go back to the county with me. Lu Xingyong said.

"Didn't you say that the sixth brother went to Luoyang?" Lai Lian turned around and said suspiciously, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Oh, that's because I misheard, your sixth brother didn't go, he just sent someone. He went to play in Nalin County, and yesterday he asked people to come and send a message, saying that he wanted you to go back. Lu Xingyong said slowly, "If you don't go back today, I'm afraid your sixth brother will come over, and you won't be able to come out again." ”

"He didn't want me to come out last time." Lai Lian Dao.

"Do you really think those military guards didn't see you? That's what they did on purpose, and it was all ordered by your sixth brother. Lu Xingyong looked at the sky and continued, "Liulang has already chosen a good horse for you, no worse than your original one." The rain is light, so let's go. ”

Baitu Village is like this, in a few days, Lai Lian has also passed the novelty, he didn't make much trouble, went to the steamer and grabbed two meat buns, and followed Lu Xingyong.

"My clothes will be given to Chen Ya, you have to wash them." Wearing a hat on his head, Lai Lian jumped out of the yard, "I'll come again, and then we'll go hunting in the mountains together." ”
