"Mother," Huang Lao Er pouted, "I don't have a smart brain, I can't deal with smart people at all, staying with Han Yi, I feel like I don't have clothes." ”

It's really sad that everything can be seen clearly.

"Just know that you are stupid," Jiang Nuan was amused by his son's words, "Your daughter-in-law is smart, discuss with her more when you encounter something, don't be like your eldest brother, who obviously has no brains, and thinks that he has great ability, and he wants to fly into the sky when he gives some wind." ”

"My daughter-in-law is really smart," Huang Lao Er nodded in agreement, "She has a better brain than me, she is quick at work, and she is good-looking." ”

It's rare to meet a wife to blow, and the smile in Jiang Nuan's eyes became stronger and stronger, "It's really a fool to be a fool!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Lao Er was not angry, and smiled innocently.

He is indeed not smart, but his daughter-in-law is smart, and his mother is even smarter, with the two of them here, he can be stupid if he is stupid, and it doesn't matter.

Of course, Huang Lao Er doesn't actually think that he is stupid, he only thinks that he is straight-eyed.

After all, after so many years of carrying and selling goods, he has never gone wrong.

After a long time, after remembering his intentions, Huang Lao Er slapped himself in annoyance, "Mother, someone from the government is here." ”

"Someone from the government?" Jiang Nuan blinked his eyes and speculated, "Is it from the notice of the apportionment of forced labor?" ”

Countrymen, nothing serious, and I don't see the officials a few times a year.

Apart from this, Jiang Nuan couldn't think of anything else.

"Yes," Huang Lao Er rubbed his hands and said sullenly, "Mother, this year's service period has been increased by ten days, and the silver has also been added." ”

"How much silver did you add?"

"It's doubled," Huang Lao Er said indignantly, "the service period has been increased by ten days, but the amount of silver for the service has been doubled, which is really unfair." ”

"It's actually four taels," Jiang Nuan took a breath, "How can there be so many?" ”

That's not a small amount.

Four taels of silver is more than enough to marry a daughter-in-law.

The peasant family was frugal, and the family worked together to save 2,000 copper plates throughout the year.

"That's it," Huang Lao Er immediately chimed in, "It's too expensive, but fortunately, our family has made some money." ”

Otherwise, they really can't afford to pay this money this year.

"Where is the place of conscription?" Jiang Nuan thought thoughtfully, "How far is it from our Huangjiakou?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Laoer's face eased a lot.

"This year, it's very close, only a little more than ten miles away," he continued to speak, "However, the work has become much heavier, and Huangjiakou is responsible for repairing the twenty-mile embankment and the twenty-mile official road. ”

Even if you repair the embankment, it's not yet time for overhaul, just dig some soil and move some stones to cushion it.

The official road is in trouble!

To dig the soil and cook it, pour the glutinous rice mortar, and then smash the soil little by little.

It's all hard work, harder than pulling a plow, and the whole work is down, and the bad life is all explained there.

"Got a task?" Jiang Nuan suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Didn't you just need to take enough days before?" ”

There are only 23 households in Huangjiakou, and the maximum number of people serving forced labor is 23.

With such a heavy job, it is not so useful to treat people as animals!

"Who says it's not," Huang Laoer's eyes were gloomy, "This clearly doesn't take the lives of our croppers seriously!" ”

In previous years, at least people were still alive after serving in conscription, but this year, they didn't care about it at all.

After a conscription, I don't know how many people will come back.

Thinking of this, Huang Lao Er felt a deep powerlessness.
