Chapter 90: Cai Qiaolan is here!
"The last time the child and his father went, could it be that our family should suffer for others, die for others, everyone else is alive and well, and our family will keep the cry of orphans and widows!"
Xiao Ding wiped away his tears and grabbed Mrs. Cai's hand tightly, "Mother, you have to be considerate of me as a niece!" ”
Xu and Chang originally thought that Cai Nanfeng or Cai Beifeng would go to one and were glad in their hearts, but they didn't expect Xiao Ding's to make a fuss, and they also pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.
"Okay, stop crying."
Mrs. Cai looked at the old man smoking a hookah beside her, "Old man, to be honest, I originally wanted to bring the fourth child back, after all, their family also needs to have one person, if it becomes a family, then don't we only need one person?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole room suddenly fell silent.
It was proposed by the Ding family himself before, but Mrs. Cai did not speak, and Old Man Cai was not at home, but the discussion between the women was now completely opened between the family.
But Mrs. Cai's purpose is obvious, Cai Laosi took it back, and he will be the one who will go when the time comes.
Cai Tian and Cai Song glanced at each other, they had an impression of this fourth brother, and they often took him around to play at that time, and later their mother told them that the fourth brother was dead, and they cried for several days.
Later, they Cai Laosi was driven back to learn that his mother had disguised the fourth brother as the son of the landlord's family, and now it was exposed.
"Why don't you say something?"
Seeing that Old Man Cai didn't speak, Mrs. Cai pointed to her son and grandchildren sitting below irritably, "Look at which of these didn't grow up with you all the way, the eldest and second have been following you since they were young to clean up the work in the field, and the third child is more flexible and is now a merchant." ”
"What are you talking about?"
Old man Cai glared at Mrs. Cai angrily, "After all, the fourth child has been given to others for so many years, which of you is willing to come back after making trouble three or four times!" ”
This old lady Cai really doesn't seem to regard Cai Fugui as her own son, she is either beaten or scolded, if she has money, she is her own son, and if she has no money, she will be lost directly.
Now that it's the turn of the conscription, I have to bring people back immediately, and I'm really a fool to think of them.
"I've done a lot of stupid things before, but now I'm not talking to you?"
Seeing that the old man was still smoking a cigarette and not talking, the anger rushed directly, and she raised her hand and snatched the old man's hookah.
"Don't smoke it, look at the way you look like you're a, you won't be able to do anything at all."
Mrs. Cai's quick temper is what she says, but this old man Cai is a chronic man, and everything has to be considered again and again before he can choose!
"I'm not thinking about it!"
Old man Cai was not angry and wanted to take back the cigarette gun, but he saw that Mrs. Cai threw it directly on the kang, "What do you think, my son will recognize it now!" ”
Seeing that there seemed to be hope, Ding Shi knelt happily towards Old Man Cai, "Dad, you want to help your son and these grandsons!" ”
Seeing this, the Xu family and the Chang family also knelt behind the Ding family, "This matter is good for both families, Dad, you have another son!" ”
Cai Ping'an has never been indifferent, after all, he has no impression of Cai Laosi.
However, Cai Tian and Cai Song really don't have the face to tell others that this is a good thing, not to mention Cai Nanfeng and Cai Beifeng, who have always been honest and honest.
This is simply chasing ducks to the shelves, forcing the fourth uncle to go to conscription for them, and ostensibly for the good of the two families.
Douhua'er was young and didn't quite understand what was going on, but Erdan couldn't help but sigh, and the old man touched his sister's head like an adult, "Douhua'er, you must not do anything against your conscience in the future." ”
Douhua'er pushed his hand away in disgust, "Don't touch my hair, this is what my mother tied for me today, it's beautiful." ”
The two of them were talking outside, when they heard one cry after another outside, which was getting closer and closer, and soon came to the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Erdan hurriedly pulled Douhuaer and hid in the kitchen on the side and closed the door, and the two of them stepped on the stool and looked out of the window.
I saw their aunt Cai Qiaolan covering her face and crying into the yard, sitting on the ground, and wailing towards the main house, "Mother, my mother! ”
In the main house, Mrs. Cai was still trying her best to persuade Old Man Cai, but she didn't expect to hear her daughter crying in the yard, and a spirit ran out barefoot.
"Mother. Shoe! ”
Ding followed closely with his shoes, and the rest of the people also ran out in a panic.
"My son, what's going on!"
Mrs. Cai pounced, pulled Cai Qiaolan and shouted, "What's the matter, don't scare me!" ”
"How can I live!"
Cai Qiaolan hugged Mrs. Cai and cried, "How can I live this conscription, how can I live this life!" ”
Ding, who was a step slower with his shoes, heard this, slowly lost his shoes, and said slowly, "What is this girl, where you can't live." Don't we have to go to one of them, and don't all of them go to this village! ”
Cai Qiaolan didn't know if she heard it or not, anyway, she pretended not to hear it even if she heard it, and hugged Mrs. Cai tightly and didn't let go, "What should I do, I just have two sons, this man in my family has always been a weak scholar, and he can't even carry water!" ”
It is also said that Cai Qiaolan's man is a scholar, and so is the eldest son, but the younger son is still young now, let alone expect any help!
Xu followed Chang and thought of this relationship slowly, and stood aside without speaking.
On the contrary, when Cai Tian and the others saw their sister and sister crying so miserably, they all bent down to comfort them, and there was nothing they could do about it!
"Don't cry, find a way to do this, what's the use of you crying."
Cai Ping'an's words made Cai Qiaolan stop crying suddenly, and what she wanted was this, she quickly wiped her tears and raised her hand to look at Cai Ping'an.
"Third brother, I know that you love my sister the most, you don't know how hard my life is now!"
Chang glared at Cai Ping'an hatefully, no one else had a conversation, what kind of wind did you smoke to talk!
"Sister, I know. We can't do anything about this conscription, didn't you take the money last time? ”
It is not uncommon for farmers to take money instead of this, and they are given subsidies and food management by forced labor.
Although it was hard work and there was a high possibility of casualties, the family could not afford to raise a child and was still willing to participate in the conscription, after all, there was a shortage of rations.
And if someone wants to find a replacement, they must get twenty taels of silver, which is equivalent to working for them!
Therefore, many of those who have more children in the family are willing to go instead.
Last time, Cai Qiaolan found someone to participate in the conscription instead, so this time Cai Ping'an would say such things.
Cai Qiaolan snorted and grabbed Cai Ping'an's hand, "Where else does our family have money, those twenty taels of silver are simply bankrupt, and now even Tianjun's academy fees are almost impossible to pay." ”
This grabbing Cai Ping'an is like grasping a life-saving straw, and a series of bitter cries came out, which is so sad that it can't be done!
