170: Just one of our families will die

"Second baby, hurry home and let your father and your mother take your brothers and sisters to the capital, hurry up, it's too late, but you won't have your share!" A middle-aged man, walking in a hurry at his feet, met an oncoming young man, and immediately said anxiously on his face.

"Uncle, what the hell is going on? I'll have to go into the city to sell these wild goods. The second baby didn't understand what his second uncle meant, and hesitated.

The second baby is carrying their family's 'rations' for the next half a month, if they can't sell these wild goods as soon as possible, then in the next half month, I'm afraid their family will only be able to drink the northwest wind.

Most of these wild goods are game hunted by him and his father, as well as the eldest brother and three brothers and four people in the nearby mountains, and some female red made by his mother and eldest sister.

Yesterday, I heard that the restrictions on entering and leaving the city have been lifted in the capital, but their family really can't draw people, and they need to go to see the harvest today, so they can only let the second baby go into the city alone to deal with these wild goods and female celebrities.

"Oh, my nephew, when is this all right, and what kind of wild goods are you selling?" The middle-aged man said with a somewhat anxious face, such a good thing, if you go late, people won't want it.

Originally, he wanted to go to his sister's house to talk about it, but he didn't expect to meet the second child who entered the city.

"The government said that to build a factory outside the city, a large number of people were needed, and each person paid 30 yuan a day for three meals. Moreover, the Qiao family and the Qiu family have partnered to open a textile factory or something, and they need a large number of women who are popular, and I heard that there is a lot of money to be given. The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, took off the bamboo basket on the second baby's back, put it on his back, and said to the second baby: "You hurry back to find your father, and I will send these things to your house later." ”

"Uncle, it can't be a lie, right?" The second baby was a little confused by his second uncle's every move, and still hesitated.

The middle-aged man kicked the second baby's ass in hatred, and said angrily: "The imperial court has even posted the emperor's list, will the imperial court still lie to you?" ”

"Eh......" The second baby is completely convinced now, no matter how depressed the court is, but in the end, it is also the court, isn't it? The words of the imperial court can still be believed.

"Uncle, then I'll go back to my father first." The second baby said with some excitement, and even planned to pick up his feet and run into the mountains.

"Wait, don't publicize this beforehand, when your family has registered and the people agree to ask for you, I will tell the rest of the village when I come back." The middle-aged man deliberately admonished.

"Uh...... Why, uncle? Wouldn't it be nice to let the people of the village go with you? There are too many people, and they don't dare to be too much, isn't it? The second baby hasn't reacted to what her uncle meant.

"Stupid, the number of people you want is limited, you pull so many people over at once, what if your family is full?" The middle-aged man explained.

"Well, I know uncle." The second baby agreed, and ran towards the mountain.

There are four middle-aged laborers in my family, and one person earns 30 yuan a day, how much is a day for four people? One hundred or one hundred and twenty?

The second baby was running, and he was doing the math problems that gave him a headache in his heart, but he never calculated how much the four of them should be paid a day. However, he knew the approximate number, either one hundred and one or twenty dollars.

What's more, taking care of three meals a day, this can save the four of them all their wages, how much is Nima this month?

The second baby only felt that her brain seemed to be about to explode, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart, who the hell came up with such a difficult topic? Let him calculate all the way and not figure out how much money he has?

When the second stunned man returned home with his father, eldest brother and third brother, the eldest uncle, second uncle and third uncle were anxiously waiting for them at their own home.

Seeing that a few people were back, the uncle of the second baby was even more anxious to pull people directly and leave. And the father of the second baby was still more or less suspicious, and then asked the boss to quietly carry the wild goods that the second baby had previously asked to go to the city to deal with.

If it really doesn't work, try to dispose of the wild goods as much as possible. You can't be hungry for the second half of the month, right? Although these wild goods can be eaten, the price of wild goods is much more expensive than grain.

…………

"Oh my mother, why are there so many people?" Before the families reached the city gate, they saw the crowd outside the city, and the second child couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't look over there, it's full of people who want to make more money, and I don't know if there is a life flower, as long as our family is safe, we don't want to make that life money. The uncle of the second baby looked at everyone, and was a little reluctant to lead everyone there.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Why are there so many people? A cousin of the second child said with some curiosity.

"There is a new army recruitment, the military salary is quite high, the first year promised to be able to get four taels of silver every month, and then according to the performance in the army to increase the military salary, but the guarantee is four taels of silver per month. It's all people who want money and don't want to die, and you don't know how many people died last year. Uncle explained.

He had already gone around here before, and he knew the layout of this place very well, so he naturally knew what the most crowded side was doing now. Even the treatment of people has been understood.

"Four taels of silver per month is equivalent to our wages for more than four months and ten days as a people's husband!" The fourth brother of the second baby couldn't help but say.

The fourth brother of the second baby is the most brainy in the whole family, and if there is something in the family that he doesn't understand, he will always let the fourth child calculate it.

Originally, these people didn't have much interest, because they all knew how many people died last year, so no one wanted to be a soldier.

But when the fourth child said what four taels of silver per month meant, the young people in these families were a little moved. That's four taels of silver, and you can marry a beautiful woman when you come back after a few months, of course, if you become a soldier, you want to come back after a few months, it's impossible.

But even so, many of them still showed yearning expressions, and in the face of huge interests, no one could stop their desires.

"This soldier is going to fight, this war is to die, we are not capable people, just make a little money and barely support our family, the money is not easy to earn." The uncle of the second baby saw the thoughts of several family members, and couldn't help reminding him again.

The second baby looked at his father, the gray hair that was becoming more and more obvious, and the straight waist was gradually bent down, and he was already like this at the age of less than fifty.

looked at his eldest brother again, he was already thirty years old, and he was at the age of starting a family, but because his family was so poor, he hadn't found a sister-in-law for himself until now.

And he himself is already twenty-five, and he hasn't even married his eldest brother yet, so he doesn't have to think about it. The eldest sister has become a family, but the other party is also so poor that it is good, and it is good to be able to barely support the family, they can't count on it.

And the third brother is also twenty-three years old this year, although he doesn't say it, he still wants to find a daughter-in-law in his heart. The fourth brother is not in a hurry, he is only sixteen this year, but after all, he still has three elder brothers, and if these three do not become a family, he will not be able to start a family.

It's okay to just make a little money to support your family, but it's hard to start a family.

After a long time, the second baby finally made a decision, if he sacrificed himself, he could let the family live well, and his efforts were still worth it.

The second child walked up to his father and said in a somewhat untouched manner: "Dad, I want to be a soldier." ”

When he heard the words of the second baby, the father of the second baby was a little angry, the brother-in-law had already said very clearly, to be a soldier is to fight, and to fight is to die, and the money is not easy to earn.

But the hand that had just been raised seemed to have a thousand pounds of force supporting him, so that he was never able to fight.

At the end of the day, it was their family that was so poor that they had to sacrifice one of them, or two sons, to satisfy the others. In the end, he's too useless as a father.

"Second brother, you should follow your father and eldest brother to be a people's husband, I'll go to be a soldier." The fourth child suddenly stood up and said.

"Bunny, are you trying to say something?" The father of the second baby actually agreed to the second baby to be a soldier in his heart, but the words of the fourth child made the father of the second baby even more angry.

After all, their family is the best for the fourth child, as long as the fourth child is here, no matter what happens to their family in the future, they can still be regarded as a person who gives advice, among his four sons, anyone can be a soldier, but the fourth child can't.

"Dad, my son knows what you think in your heart, and he also knows what your second brother thinks in your heart. But the uncle has made it very clear, this soldier is to fight, and to fight is to die. The second brother is too honest, and he can only be used as cannon fodder in the army, as long as he fights, he has little chance of surviving. The reason why the son stood up is because only when the son goes to the army can he live longer. Speaking of this, the fourth child looked at his father again and continued: "Dad, since you can do things with one son, why go to two sons? ”

"Uncle, the fourth child has a good head, maybe he can still be a leader when he gets there, and then let the fourth child promote our family." One of the fourth cousins said with a grin.

In the end, the family still couldn't stop the fourth, and while the family rushed to the recruitment point of the people and the recruitment point of the female red, the fourth went to the recruitment point of the crowd alone.

(I'm sorry.,I forgot to write the chapter name in the last chapter.,I can't change it now.,I'm that sweat.) In addition, thank you for going up to the West Building alone, please call me the three people next door Wang and Ma Zi for their tipping support! In the end, the time is the same as before, tomorrow is still five watches, that is, the last five watches in the three days promised before, the first two five watches have made me that not much have been set down ten, and I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, although I know that it will rise back, but I am still in a hurry......
