Wang and Feng were even more puzzled when they heard it, happy event? They all set their eyes on the old lady Qiao Ximei.

Qiao Ximei raised her hand to support the hairpin, squinted her eyes very happily, and said with a smile:

"It's a happy event."

But it turned out that it was Qiao Ximei who did everything possible to inquire about the news and brought her back with good news. It is said that it is still a quasi-letter who has to inquire from the county office:

Conscription orders can be replaced with money and food.

For a quota, you need to pay four taels of silver, or 1,000 catties of grain.

Paying money is relatively simple, as long as you pay directly.

But if the grain is not escorted by the family, it will also get a share of the grain money for transportation.

When you go out to escort you, you have to bring your own dry food, and you can't say what you encounter on the way. What's even more terrifying is that if you go out, will you be detained by others and directly requisitioned as a people's husband, isn't it all a matter of the above sentence?

Therefore, if you can afford the silver, it is naturally safer to pay the silver.

Lao Li's family has a total of nine adults. Only need to take out thirty-six taels of silver, and you can save the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, fathers, sons, and brothers of the Lao Li family, and a full nine people from going to the battlefield.

In the eyes of Li Jingfu and Qiao Ximei, if you can live a good life and make a careful budget, you must be careful in your calculations.

But when choosing between money and people, the weight of people is always heavier than the weight of money.

The money is gone, and you can still find a way to earn it back. Or save money, break a penny in half and spend it, and slowly save it back.

But if this person is gone, then there is really none.

Although Qiao Ximei felt that it was very painful to take out so much silver.

But the feeling of flesh pain is much more relaxed and pleasant compared to the heartache of his wife, son, and grandson who have to go to the battlefield to fight for their lives.

For her, it was a happy event.

But for other people's families, it is not necessarily.

The average farmer's income, after a year, can feed the whole family and not go into debt, which is already God's favor.

Some craftsmen, people are diligent, their brains are active, and they know how to take advantage of the slack to do work, and at the end of the year, they may not be able to leave two taels of silver.

In case the old and young in the family, if they have a problem that they can't resist by hard resistance alone, see the doctor twice, eat two pairs of decoctions, and save a year's silver, if they can have a few hundred dollars left, they are considered lucky.

took out four taels of silver at once, which is equivalent to the savings of a large family of people who have lived tightly for several years.

It's like killing people.

But if you can't even take out these four taels of silver, then you can only fill in the family with your life.

If you really want to go to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes.

When the time comes, whether the gentlemen can come back, whether they will have all the beards and tails when they come back, and whether they can go to the field to farm, no one can say.

The work of the family falls on the elderly, women, and children, and if there is another disaster year, sooner or later they will have to sell their fields and land, and even sell their children and daughters......

Several people sighed, and the hearts of Wang and Feng also relaxed.

A few days ago, the brothers and sisters in the family got together and had already scraped together some money.

After all, although there are some gaps, the big head has made up enough, and the gap is not too big. Then find relatives and friends to borrow some, and this level will be passed.

What's more, my father and mother have already breathed through the wind, saying that they would rather sell some fields and go out at that time than let the grandfathers of the family go to war.

As soon as they thought that their men could escape this catastrophe peacefully, the Wang family and the Feng family couldn't help but be overjoyed. With a smile on his face, he couldn't help it.

The old lady Qiao Xiaomei, presumably for the same reason, was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Even looking at Li Yunxin, this girl is much more pleasing to the eye!

There are a lot of people, talking and laughing, and they are busy, and this Chenguang will pass extraordinarily fast.

When it was time to eat, Nie assigned the work of setting the table to Li Yunxin.

She called Li Yuncui and prepared to go to the ground to deliver food.

Nie first dragged two large jars.

One is filled with mushy paste, and the other is filled with three flat, four unround, half-cooked wild vegetable dumplings, and a layer of pickles is placed on top of the dumplings.

Let Li Yuncui take a cloth bag, pick up a few pairs of chopsticks, and put them in the cloth bag. Finally, a bucket full of sauerkraut soup was used in the smallest bucket.

After putting the jars, buckets, and cloth bags in place, and pushing the wheelbarrow cart, Nie Shi went out reluctantly.

When these meals were just ready, Nie ate them in the big kitchen. When I go out at this time, my stomach is not empty at all. But she still felt that she had sacrificed a meal in vain, and it always felt as if she had suffered a little.

Everyone is used to the expression on Nie's face. Just turn a blind eye.

Li Yunzhu was still stuffy in her room, and there was no movement for a long time.

Qiao Ximei shouted twice: "Sister Zhu, come out to eat soon!" ”

Li Yunzhu came out slowly, step by step.

Qiao Ximei looked at Li Yunzhu's appearance and suddenly sighed.

She should have known it a long time ago. With the changes in this child, she should have thought that the eldest family, not long after moving to the town, this heart had already floated.

It seems that if you don't be ruthless, the boss and the family, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back.

Facing Qiao Ximei's eyes, Li Yunzhu couldn't help but shrink a little, she didn't want to provoke Qiao Ximei.

In fact, she didn't want to come out at all, you know, it's Nie's cooking today.

Nie's craftsmanship, doesn't she know yet?

Not to mention comparing with Mrs. Min's craftsmanship, I'm afraid that even if you feed the pigs, you have to feed the pigs thin!

Besides, she had just been in the house and had already drunk a bowl of almond cream.

I'm not hungry at all.

The Nie family caused her to lose a large bag of delicious food, and she was already quite uncomfortable.

Today, I went to the big kitchen to hang around and make a show, but I was caught by the Nie family and made her work for a long time!

Later, she was blocked by Li Yuncui and almost saw her Jin Buyao.

Li Yuncui licked her face, and took away something from her that she didn't like and wasn't very valuable.

But it's one thing for her to dislike it, but it's another thing for Li Yuncui to ask for it.

At this time, I still have to pinch my nose and eat the pig food made by Nie's!

The more Li Yunzhu thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

Nie's second aunt is simply her nemesis!

Except for Li Yunzhu, who was sullenly angry, everyone else's mood was not bad.

Even because he was in a good mood, even Nie's craftsmanship became more bearable.

Qiao Ximei squinted her eyes and looked at Li Yunzhu.

This child, since she came out of her house, her face has been changing color. This expression is too rich!

Is it because of the food cooked by the Nie family, is she really not used to eating it?

Or is it because there's something you don't know?
