After counting the number of people who were serving in forced labor, they gathered at Yamen at the end of the month and set off again. The village chief followed him to the yamen and watched the people leave before returning.

So many laborers left the village at once. Women who did not work in the past also occasionally went to the field. Otherwise, when the laborers return, the family's land will be overgrown with weeds.

When the laborers returned from forced labor, they had to turn over their families' fields. The ground is full of weeds, and it is a waste of time to turn over the ground. All the women who remain at home must go down to the ground and pull weeds.

Pulling weeds is not heavy work, children can do it. But children are treasures, and they are not very obedient, it is okay to pull out weeds, and it is okay to pull out the grass for several days or ten days, that is to resist.

Lan Niang also went to the ground to pull weeds. You don't need to plough the ground. The remaining dry fields of the first year are planted with fruit trees. The saplings have already settled down with the Yue goats. Nor are the saplings particularly valuable, they are all common plum and pear trees and date trees. There are only two jujube trees, and the pear trees are the most.

Date trees are planted in the yard, and pear trees are planted to be kept for the winter. The plum tree is used to make wine. Frozen pears are not very tasty, but they are especially flavorful in winter when there is nothing to taste all day.

The labor force of the village is about the same, Erlang went to the village chief's house, and learned that the village chief received one or two pieces of silver, and gave the eldest son 500 wen, so that the eldest son could take the stone shortage to serve the conscription.

The village chief asked the eldest grandson to do the boss's work. The eldest grandson of the village chief was only thirteen years old, so he went to do such a tiring thing.

What a sin. Just for 500 dollars.

It's not that the village chief's family can't give two taels of silver, and they are not people who covet one or two pieces of silver. I don't know what the village chief thinks, this is really falling into the eyes of money.

The people in the village muttered a little about it.

Erlang secretly pondered for a while, and went to the outside of Shi's house from time to time. A little more attentive than before.

Mainly staring at the stone family's pockmarks and dogs, they all went to serve in the conscription. The two of them are fox friends and dog friends, and they have to go together for conscription, and they are good friends who have to pee together.

The uncle of the hall called the clan uncle and the village chief to preside over the separation. As a junior, Erlang was not invited. I don't know the details, but I heard that the three brothers and the other brothers had another fight.

This time, the Chen family did not please him, and the rest of the daughters-in-law did not grow up vegetarians. How can you get the benefits of Chen every time.

The hall uncle is not too eccentric, and it is divided according to the formal clan law.

As the eldest son of the eldest son, the eldest brother gets half of the family, and the house is still lived in separately. But you have to move out after a year. As the main house, it is still inherited by the long house.

The following sons are just right, and one person has a share of the family property. The same is true for the fields.

As an unmarried girl, the family's savings were taken out and a girl was given three taels of silver. The rest is divided among the second sons.

As the elderly, the children who are separated, depending on the individual's heart, there is no upper limit to the annual filial piety, the lower limit is that they must come to visit the elderly, and gather together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the fourth day of the new year.

If the old man is gone, the relationship between the brothers will become a relative, and then it will be up to the children to decide.

It's really fair to divide the family in this way.

But the three brothers and the three daughters-in-law had a quarrel, and they had to say that the girl who married out was someone else's. The water that was spilled could not be recovered. The girls' dowry is not shared.

If they marry a girl, they will be able to get enough of the girl's dowry with a little each.
