Peng Jinsuo and Wang Dahe stayed in Wicker Ditch for almost a whole day, and did not leave until it was almost dark.

Wicker Ditch is a poor place with a small population.

There were only 48 families in total, and 80 regular soldiers and 40 people were recruited.

In the entire wicker ditch, there is not even a single family willing to pay money or grain to offset the conscription quota.

Peng Jinsuo was stunned:

"It seems that my mother still loves me."

Wang Dahe nodded again and again. He also felt that Peng Jinsuo had a pair of peerless good fathers and mothers.

Wang Dahe's position as an errand servant was inherited from his father Wang Lao.

In order to compete with his stepmother's younger brother for this position, Wang Dahe tried his best.

Seeing his father's heart of Wang Lao, he became more and more biased towards his stepmother's younger brother.

Wang Dahe gritted his teeth, glared, and was ruthless, and ran to borrow a hundred taels of silver from the Zheng family, and bought a flower-like concubine for his father from Renyazi.

As soon as he saw the sixteen-year-old concubine, the father was originally biased in the heart of the squeaky nest, and suddenly he was biased back.

Wang Dahe got his wish and became a servant, but the price he paid was really not small.

The usury of one hundred taels of silver, he saved frugality, reduced food and clothing, and saved all the food and salary issued by the yamen and the extra money he made. In addition to filling the stomach, almost a copper plate is reluctant to spend.

was so desperately thrifty, and it took him three years to repay the debt.

This thing of loan shark is really untouchable!

For this, his stepmother hated him to the bone. Whenever there was a festival, he would bring two bottles of wine and a bag of trough cakes and go home to see his father, and his stepmother would be eager to take a big broom and beat him out with other things.

But Peng Jinsuo's position was bought with real money from the seventh aunt of the county magistrate.

Before and after, the flowers are on the bright side, and everyone can see that there are more than 50 taels of silver.

If it's just to resist the conscription order, these fifty taels of silver alone are enough to cover more than a dozen places!

Alas! This is called the same person not having a life. Envy doesn't come!

I'm afraid of the word "than" for anything. This man has to die more than people, and he has to throw more goods than goods!

Wang Dahe tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Peng Jinsuo from head to toe.

Peng Jinsuo is not tall and has a short figure. On weekdays, he is pampered, and his flesh is quite white.

A round face, two thick lying silkworm eyebrows, two swollen bubble eyes under the eyebrows, a short garlic nose, and two thick lips......

It doesn't look good, but it's very happy, and it can be regarded as a bit of a blessing.

However, those who are servants don't need to be dignified.

It's a waste to be so handsome as yourself!

Wang Dahe secretly slandered Peng Jinsuo's appearance, and muttered out these last few words.

Peng Jinsuo's gaze at Wang Dahe was not ignorant.

Hearing him speak, I listened carefully, but only heard the word "waste".

He smiled and piled up a smiling face: "Brother Dahe, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing. The two of us completed the task well this time, but it's a pity that the wicker ditch is a broken place, and we can't squeeze any oil and water.

I'm going to backer the mountain tomorrow, but I'm counting on you, a landlord! ”

"Oh, that's it! Brother Dahe, don't worry!

Every family in the backing mountain is a person who is going through his life. There is no such thing as a farmer when he is busy and a bandit when he is free.

As long as we put the shelves up enough, we will definitely be able to scrape out a lot of oil and water! ”

As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat roads, and although these errand workers belong to the lowly servants in the officialdom, they can show off their power in front of the people.

The people hated them and feared them.

For the most part, though, these servants don't offend people in front of their homes.

First, the rule of "rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest" is there.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if you offend your neighbors and need help from others when you have something to do, who can you count on to help?

Second, the folks in the township, everyone is so familiar with each other, who doesn't know who?

If you dare to put a shelf in front of them, they will be able to peek at your three-year-old urine kang, steal melons when you are six-year-old, and peek at the widow's bath when you are nine years old...... A string of black histories will be shaken out for you.

Stick your face on the ground and you won't be able to pick it up!

Who can bear this?

Wang Dahe's words actually dug a hole for Peng Jinsuo.

Peng Jinsuo is indeed a little stupid.

That night, neither of them returned to the yamen.

brought the roster of the wicker ditch conscription, and lived in Peng Jinsuo's house. This meal in the evening was also eaten at Peng's house.

Peng Jinsuo's mother felt very sorry for her son.

Knowing that they had been running in wicker ditch for a day, they had eaten bran dumplings at the end of the day, so they simply killed the laying hens that had only been laying for more than a year, and added some straw mushrooms to stew.

The aroma of the chicken soup wafted and filled half of the mountain.

Peng Jinsuo's mother was so distressed that she wiped her tears behind her back, but in front of her son, she had to slap her swollen face and become fat, and kept saying:

"A chicken, home-fed, is not worth anything.

There's nothing to eat at home, and if you don't entertain well, don't be surprised. ”

Peng Jinsuo and Wang Dahe ate with their mouths full of oil, and they didn't want it.

Peng Jinsuo's mother has always doted on Peng Jinsuo, and he is almost accustomed to such treatment.

Wang Dahe also raised his evaluation of Peng Jinsuo in his heart.

It's not that Wang Dahe thinks Peng Jinsuo is worth befriending, but he has strengthened his determination to "firmly follow this kid and grasp every opportunity to eat".

Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the two of them got up.

took the roster, first went to find Li Zheng and the tun chief, and then started from the first house at the entrance of the village, and went door-to-door to do the errand of conscription.

The previous success in Wicker Ditch made them mistakenly think that this trip could be easy.

Unexpectedly, I hit a wall in the first one.

The first one at the entrance of the village is the old dealer.

That is, the in-laws of Aunt Zhuang who often sit under the big locust tree at the head of the village.

Aunt Zhuang'er's temperament of taking advantage of small advantages made her popularity in the entire backer Tun'er not very good.

But she has a lively temperament and a thick enough skin to talk to almost everyone.

When she sees a living person, she is not afraid of life.

Not to mention that Peng Jinsuo is still a local in Shantun.

Seeing that Peng Jinsuo and Wang Dahe came to the house so early to recruit soldiers, maybe they had to entertain them for breakfast, Aunt Zhuang Si'er began to turn the river and the sea in her heart.

Who doesn't know this whole backer, only she takes advantage of others, and if anyone else wants to take advantage of her, unless the sun hits the west and comes out!

But even if this Peng Jin lock is easy to dismiss, then Wang Dahe is not from this village. It's not necessarily that easy to talk to.

Aunt Zhuang Si'er stopped at the door, laughing and pulling Peng Jinsuo to speak, but intentionally or unintentionally blocked the door, preventing him and Wang Dahe from entering the courtyard at all.

"Ouch, I said the magpie was calling in the morning. What kind of wind is this blowing the Golden Lock Brothers? ”
